Infinite XP
You need Speech of 30 or the perk Confirmed Bachelor. You must also be on the good side of NCR. Go to HELIOS One and the lady should automatically talk to you. Once she allows you access HELIOS One, you should be able to start the mission "That Lucky Old Sun". Follow the mission and talk to Fantastic and Ignacio Rivas. While talking to Rivas make sure you get him to reveal that he's a Follower of the Apocalypse by using Speech or Confirmed Bachelor and agree with his ideals about peace or just say you're neutral. Do the mission regularly until you get to the point where you activate the Mainframe Terminal. Configure the Power Grid to "5) Full Region (Emergency Output Level). Finish the mission by hitting the Reflector Control Panel outside on top of the tower. Go back to Ignacio Rivas and choose the option "I overloaded the plant. No one.....". The glitch is that the option never disappears, so you can choose to keep pressing it. You get 350XP, 3 Stimpacks, and 2 Doctor's Bag
Infinite XP Glitch
If your speech skill at 50 or higher, you can persuade Old Ben to offer his escort services to the local bar, if you succeed in the Speech Challenge, you'll gain 61 XP. If you follow him back to the bar afterwards and wait until he sits down, you can speak to him again and redo the same Speech Challenge over and over again for infinite XP! You can find Old Ben sitting by a fire close to The King headquarters in Freeside.
Infinite Experience
For this glitch you will need to go to Vault 11 or any other location with mantises. All you need to do is kill a mantis or find a dead one and take the forelegs out of it's inventory. Doing this will give you 22 xp and cause it's body to pop, and If you put the forelegs back in the inventory you will gain an additional 22 xp. You can repeat this multiple times on the same mantis to get the desired amount of xp.
Infinite Caps
First, you must go to the town of Primm. Complete the "My Kind Of Town" quest for them by getting a sheriff for the town. After you get them a sheriff, or the NCR's troops, you have to wait 3-7 in game days, and the Vikki and Vance Casino will open again in Primm. Go there, and exchange some Caps for some of the casino's chips. Then, turn in the casino's chips for caps. You will notice that when you turn the chips in, you don't have them removed from your inventory, however you get the payout. You can exploit this for as long as you want.
Infinite Speech Check Loop
This requires a speech skill of 20. Talk to 10 of Spades in Camp McCarren. You may need to find out about Corporal Betsy's trauma beforehand. Anyway, open a dialogue with him and select "I heard about what happened to Corporal Betsy" then "Tell me what happened." Your next options will be the speech check or "If you were unconscious, how could you have done anything?" Do the speech check, then the other option is the only one available except "Never mind." After you select the unconscious option, the speech check will be available again, but grayed. Regardless, keep pressing A and they'll alternate. Even though the check is gray, it still counts as a pass. NOTE: This does not glitch XP as well.
Set fire to/kill enemies without using ammo!
Equip the Anti Materiel Rifle and load it with Incendiary rounds. Enter vats on any target, then exit vats without shooting them. Whatever you aimed at will now be on fire, with no ammo used.

Objective: To evaluate trends in administrative expenditures by examining changes in administrative costs compared with other areas of the hospital budget, changes in expenditures for patient care departments compared with nonpatient care departments, and departments with a greater number of regulatory requirements compared with those with fewer regulatory requirements.
Design: Annual hospital operating budgets submitted to Blue Cross were examined for an 8-year period from 1983 to 1990.
Participants: Seventy hospitals in Western Pennsylvania.
Measurements: Annual operating expenditures.
Results: Total administrative expenditures showed a larger growth rate (90%) than service departments (29%), ancillary services (30%), professional care (52%), miscellaneous expenses (70%), and the total hospital budget (45%). Administrative costs increased from 10.6% as a proportion of the total hospital budget in 1983 to 13.9% in 1990. These increases were seen regardless of hospital size. Departments with a greater number of regulatory obligations had a greater increase in expenditures (84%) than did departments with fewer regulatory requirements (5%). However, overall expenditures in departments with direct patient care responsibilities did not increase appreciably faster (44%) than in departments not providing clinical services (46%), possibly reflecting the fact that administrative costs may be increasing equally in both areas.
Conclusions: Administrative costs were found to be one of the fastest growing components of hospital budgets. Future research should determine the effect of these increases on the quality of patient care.
Increase was from 1983 to 1990.
Costs were from 1983 to 1990.

Secrets of Success
Variations on a Theme: Cauliflower
Monday, December 03, 2012
Personally, I'm a fan of cauliflower.
Cauliflower is beautiful. One white cauliflower can look very cool sitting on a counter surrounded by candles. A colorful cauliflower assortment in a fruit bowl is an outstanding centerpiece for a kitchen table.
And as we all know, beauty is more than skin deep! Cauliflower is a nutritional powerhouse.
To prepare a cauliflower, remove the outer green leaves and the center core.
Parboil cauliflower until tender and eat it plain for a snack while preparing dinner or add it to a salad. I like cauliflower raw and dipped into Greek yogurt. My family can be fussy and they have been known to avoid eating my plain raw or parboiled treats. The following recipes are tried and true! I've made my version of both and my family enjoys them.
Cauliflower in Red Curry
I made this last week before finding a Sparky recipe that is very much like my dinner. My version was only slightly different.
I like cumin so I happen to have some and used it. Simplify by using a curry powder. I prefer to buy a spice mixture blend of curry powder instead of each spice. Blending curry is an art form unless you have a family recipe! Buy your curry blend from a store with a rapid shelf turnover because spices lose flavor with time and sitting on a store shelf is as bad for the flavor as sitting on your own kitchen shelf! I don't see the point in buying a big variety of spices and not using them for a long time because you don't know what to do with the stuff. Try a curry powder and add it to some of your old standards (egg salad, for example). If you discover that you REALLY like curry, you can move to the advanced level to create your own blends.
The other SP recipe calls for crushed tomatoes and I use tomato paste for the richer taste and to create a smooth sauce. And I call them "chick peas" rather than "garbanzo beans" --- same thing!
1 medium potato, cut into small dice
1 Tbsp canola oil
1 1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp curry powder
1 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 cup water
4 cups chopped cauliflower (about 1 1/2 lbs)
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 can chick peas, rinsed & drained
1. Place the potato in a medium-sized saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat the oil in a large deep skillet. Add the onion, and cook over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes until softened. Add the spices and garlic, and saute for about 5 minutes. Stir in the water, cauliflower. Cover, and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.
3. Stir in the tomato paste, potatoes, chick peas. Cover again, and simmer for 10-15 more minutes over low heat.
Roasted Cauliflower
This is a 3 ingredient recipe. I use sea salt but I suppose regular salt would be just as yummy. It's easy to prepare if you put all 3 ingredients in a big bowl, cover, toss to coat, spread evenly on a cookie sheet to bake. Use the original oil coated big bowl to serve. My family gobbles it up before it gets to the table!
1 small head cauliflower cut into florets
1 tsp olive oil
Sea Salt to taste
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
In a medium bowl, combine.
Toss to mix.
Transfer the mixture to a cookie sheet.
Bake for 15-17 minutes, tossing as needed, or until lightly browned and crisp tender.
Serve immediately.
And a few more "recipe" variations:
Yes, broccoli can be substituted for cauliflower in the following recipes!
Northern Italian Cauliflower
My family enjoys cauliflower if I stir fry it with sliced onion and sliced sweet red bell peppers in a little olive oil. Meanwhile prepare brown rice or penne (try Barilla Plus). To Serve: Mix well. Top with fresh grated Parmesan and black pepper.
Not Fettuccine Al Fredo
Stir fry cauliflower, sliced onion, and sliced sweet red bell peppers to soften veggies in a little canola or olive oil. Melt in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add a cup of part skim ricotta. Add 1/4 cup grated fresh Parmesan. Stir over heat to combine and coat the cauliflower. Meanwhile prepare fettuccine. To Serve: Mix well. Top with fresh grated Parmesan and black pepper.
Not Risotto
Stir fry cauliflower, sliced onion, and sliced sweet red bell peppers to soften veggies in a little canola or olive oil. Melt in 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Add a cup of part skim ricotta. canola or olive oil. Add a cup of part skim ricotta. Stir over heat to combine and coat the cauliflower. Meanwhile prepare brown rice. To Serve: Mix well. Top with fresh grated Parmesan and black pepper.
I've seen and tried the Faux Mashed Potato recipes. Sadly, although mashed cauliflower is yummy --- it's not mashed potatoes. A kid looking forward to mashed potatoes will not appreciate Faux Potato. Appreciate cauliflower for what it is.

Yum. Agree with you that cauliflower is fine all alone. It does not need to be a fake potato.
I noticed the spikey cauliflower in your arrangement. I just bought one at an amish place. They said it was a cauliflower, but when I got it home, I realized that I don't know anything about it. Do you just fix it like the other kind? Does it stay green? I guess I will know soon, but I would hate to ruin it. Really feral looking. It scares my husband. ha ha.

These recipes look yummy!!
There's a lady we know who frequently makes a roasted cauliflower casserole for potluck after services... it's really yummy and uses some cheese and mustard. Knowing her she probably puts too MUCH cheese - will need to plug it in through the nutritional tracker and see how it turns out. But cauliflower hardly has any calories by itself, so I would think the recipe would be easy enough to adjust.
Thanks for sharing!!

Bring bright colors and modern style to any childs or teens bedroom with our selection of full sheets, or update your guest bedroom full size bedding set. Full size bed sheets for kids, feature bold colors, durable yet super soft fabrics, and cute, fun and fashion forward patterns and prints that teenagers, and boys and girls will adore. For teenage girls and boys, and college students we have a selection of modern and contemporary styles, choose solid color sheets in full sizes in bright orange, purple, red, hot pink, lime green, yellow and a rainbow of other sheet colors. Or for a patterned sheet for kid and teens consider black and white zebra stripes, or other animal print, or 1960's retro paisley and tie dye sheets or decorated with peace sign or skulls, or bold zig zag and chevron patterns. For boys and teenage boys we have a full selection of sports sheets that guys will like, including NFL football, NBA basketball, baseball, soccer and ice hockey sports teams and logos, as well as college sports teams; or nautical sheets in blue and white plaid and tartan flannel sheets with images of surf boards and sailing boats; or fun camo prints in either realistic woodland camouflage styles or classic army camo patterns in green, brown and grey.
We also have a full selection of bed linens for college and university students in both full, twin and twin xl sizes, these extra long sheets are ideal for college dorm room bedding sets or for taller teens and adults who prefer a twin xl bed.. For toddlers and younger childrens we offer cute kids sheets with cars, trucks and space rockets. For an adult guest bedroom we feature solid colored sheets, as well as printed and patterned bed linens and bedding sets in classic floral flower prints, toile, stripes both modern and vintage ticking stripe styles, plaid and tartan, paisley and more. Solid colored sheets in full sizes are still our best sellers, choose from classic white bed sheets that are easy to care for and are machine washable, or traditional sheet colors including off-white, cream and ivory, navy blue, burgundy red, emerald green. Or go bold with bright colors and daring shades, hues and tone that kids and teens will love - both boys and girls - including bright beaching bedding shades including bright red, coral, peach, orange, yellow, aqua, teal and turquoise; or luxury sheets in gold, silver, grey and black, these darker colors are great for a mens bedroom; or modern decorator colors include chocolate brown bed linens, or shades of mocha, caramel, taupe and beige - what ever bedding color you fancy we have it in a full bed size.
Many people choose full size sheets set, set feature matching component that coordinate with each other for a interior designer style, sheet sets include both flat and fitted sheets, as well a pillowcases (one is standard for a full size bed). For a complete matching bedding set, consider a bed in bag set, larger sets include fulling matching bed covers (comforters, duvet covers, quilts, bedspreads) and sheets, pillowcases, decorative pillows and shams, even curtains and drapes. However, many people want to buy flat and fitted sheets separately, perhaps because they only really use a top or bottom sheet, or because they want to mix and match different colors, prints, and designs. What ever the reason we offer a complete selection of both full size flat sheets and fitted sheet available to purchase separately for customers that only want that specific type. Its important to get a fitted sheet that fits your bed perfectly, while sheet sizes are standard as they fit a standard size beds, the thickness or depth of mattresses can vary a lot - this measurement is known as a "sheets pocket depth". This pocket depth can vary from from 8 to 12 inches for a thin mattress or memory foam mattresses, often used with platform and loft beds, or as deep as 18 to 22 inches for luxury mattresses. For a perfect fitting sheet, get one with the correct pocket depth, and we have a full range of sheets with extra deep pockets that range from 8 inches to 22 inches.
Choose from classic polyester and cotton and sheets or a poly-cotton blend, to exotic silk, satin and even bamboo fiber bed sheets. Classic cotton sheets are extremely soft, durable and long lasting, we offer everyday jersey and supima cotton, or luxury egyptian cotton available in many different thread counts. While its not always true, normally a good rule of thumb is that the higher the thread count the better quality the sheet - so we offer sheets with 250 thread count, all the way to 1500 thread count (also referred to as TC). For a truly cozy and comfortable bed, flannel sheets are a must, super soft and warm flannel in either solid colors or classic plaid, tartan and check is ideal for colder climates or winter months.For an exotic modern Asian style consider full size silk and satin sheets, or a hybrid sateen, these silky soft bed covers are a wonderful addition to any bedroom decor. For kids, teens and adults that suffer from allergies we offer a selection of hypoallergenic sheets, these organic sheets in either cotton or bamboo, are made from natural plant fibers without harsh chemicals, so are great for allergy and asthma suffers.

Penny, good idea. One level is so much more useful. You are going to enjoy a granite counter!ReplyDelete
At our house this weekend ~ more time in the garden planting and spreading mulch. ;-)
Happy Weekend! ~ Sarah
excellent! I love to see projects being done.ReplyDelete
I like the color of your cabinets :)
Oh that will look great when it's done! Good idea! As we speak, we are adding shelves to a basement closet for wrapping paper storage and other small things. Always great to cross a project off the list!ReplyDelete
Nothing that exciting....but I am going to clean the garage!! Does that count??ReplyDelete
Hooray for counter height!~ReplyDelete
But I don't quite understand... Is 'Mr.CoH' in the process of just taking the bar-height-part off? Or is he going to make the bar-height-part, to counter height too?
Great! Either way. Hooray for husband who can *do stuff.* :-)
Not too much here, but I am trying to get into a It-Is-Spring-mood! If I accomplish that, it will be a great accomplishment! :-) What with still fighting off the lingering cough and still some snow cover around these parts.
Gentle hugs,
That should look lovely when it's done. I like the counter height because it really opens up the kitchen too.ReplyDelete
Oh my, that is the neatest "deconstruction" area I have ever seen! It's going to be beautiful of course:>) Puttering around today, spring cleaning, dying some cloth to make accessories for my daughters new apartment and homework. Always homework. Have a great weekend Penny!ReplyDelete
Nothing as interesting as this... I've never seen anyone take this in reverse as you're doing. Something about the bar height preventing a view into the kitchen, but I see that you two are incredibly neat so it'll not be a problem. Looking forward to the before and afters.ReplyDelete
Oh it is going to be wonderful. I don't like a bar height counter either. It is way more useful and good looking too to just have counter height. Love your floors. I am green with envy. Hugs, MartyReplyDelete
Penny, I have the counter height and thought I wanted bar height. You are right there is more room with the counter height. Looking good. I am cutting the grass today.ReplyDelete
Penny, I can't wait to see the new granite! It will look fabulous! I think that is smart making it all one height, it does give you more room.ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see the result with the new granite Penny! it's already a beautiful kitchen. Love your blog header too, it's getting me in the mood for spring!ReplyDelete
The same counter height will be really nice. A nice place do deorate too.ReplyDelete
I, personally, don't care for bar height counters because then you need bar height stools and I don't like to "perch" when I'm eating. I'm short and getting up on the bar stools gracefully is a bit of a trick, also. Call me "grace".
I love counter height the best. When we remodeled our kitchen last year, some of my friends thought I was crazy not to put a bar on our island. Now when they come in and see the miles of kitchen real estate I have, they love it. And so do I!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see the finished product!
Wow Penny! That is going to be fantastic. Can't wait to see the final results! :-) At our house...I was the coordinator for my son's school auction which took place last night so now I'm trying to catch up on a week's worth of laundry and cleaning!ReplyDelete
You will love the level counter height! Your kitchen remodel looks a bit tidier than mine at the moment. We are waiting on windows and a quartz counter top. Ours was not a planned reno... slab leak due to freezing weather early February. Love your home! ...KarenReplyDelete
Looks exciting Penny. We just had quartz counter tops put in at our condo and they drew a template too.ReplyDelete
How funny. We had a flat counter and had ours built up to what you are tearing out. When our counter was flat you could see the dirty dishes in the sink from the living room.
Nothing at all like that, Penny! I'll be watching the work at your place and taking notes, though.ReplyDelete
It will all be worth it and I can't wait to see it.ReplyDelete
Hi Penny! Thanks for your sweet comment today. It has been so beautiful here. It's fun to be outside.ReplyDelete
Your projects always amaze me. Your kitchen is already gorgeous and those counters will be the crowning touch. When we built our house I didn't have that upper level bar put on there. It makes the workspace so much larger...plus we all tend to sit junk up on that top part. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Isn't it exciting to get something new?! I can't wait to see the new counter tops! Hopefully we will be getting some in the near future!ReplyDelete
So far it has been a good weekend...in the 50's. I went out to lunch with the girls and then took a nap!!
Hi Penny! You are the smartest one! This makes so much sense having the counter the same height! Can't wait to see it all.ReplyDelete
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Oh, can't wait to see! I've been crafting and gardening around here.ReplyDelete
It's gonna be great! It snowed here today! Jealous of all you girls with spring weather. MimiReplyDelete
just checking in to see what is happening at your place I swear no grass growing under your feet busy busy bees! look forward to seeing the results.ReplyDelete
I can't wait to see how this all turns out! Your kitchen was gorgeous already!!! This will be a added bonus!!!!ReplyDelete
Hi Penny,ReplyDelete
How very exciting..I bet you just can't wait. I love it when I get something new in the kitchen.. I like your idea of more counter space, its going to look great!
Have a sweet week and hugs, Elizbeth
Hi Penny,ReplyDelete
How silly of me....LOL I spelled my own wrong LOL
My fingers sometime get away from me while I'm typing.
Hugs, Elizabeth
Great idea. It does make it so much easier.ReplyDelete
The weekend came and went too fast! My sweetheart was away for the weekend so I 'tore' into my office. A major reorganization and file cleaning made it look like a tornado had gone through. It isn't finished yet but the big changes have happened. Now to put everything back again!ReplyDelete
Can't wait to see your new counter. You're going to love it, I know.
I, too, have this kind of raised counter top in my kitchen.Over the years, it has been used as an extra place for eating, a desk, a project table, so so many things. Every time I mention removing it, Mr. Sweet gets a "over my dead body" look in his eyes.:))) He loves it.ReplyDelete

Harrison County Quilt Barn Project
For a list of Quilt Barns completed in Harrison County, click here or for a map click here.
Harrison County has opted to make its 2005 Make a Difference Day project revolve around the "Quilt Barn" concept which has been carried out in other Appalachian areas.
The effort entails installing eight-foot square painted replicas of quilt squares on barns throughout the county. The barns will be promoted as a "drive it yourself" tour of Harrison County. They also will serve as a constant reminder of our pioneer and agricultural heritage.
The idea was born when Donna Sue Groves, a Field Representative with the Ohio Arts Council, adorned a barn on her farm in Adams County, Ohio with a quilt square from one of her mother's quilts. The idea grew to include 20 "Quilt Barns" throughout Adams County.
Soon thereafter the idea caught on, and since then Monroe County, Ohio has created a Quilt Barn project. Other counties throughout Appalachian Ohio have produced a sampling as well. Similar projects have been undertaken in Iowa, Tennessee, and Kentucky. It is Ms. Groves' hope that ultimately the 13 states of the Appalachian region will be traversed by a "Clothesline of Quilts" linking the shared heritage of the entire region.
The concept came to life in Harrison County during discussions between Ms. Groves and representatives of the county at a meeting in the spring of 2005. The plans call for an initial installation of 15 quilts; one in each of the county's townships. All of the quilts used as "models" for the project are owned by residents of the county and were submitted for consideration in June 2005.
The project has become a real community effort, bringing people together from throughout the county. Twenty-eight quilts were submitted for consideration in the initial phase of the project. The effort is coordinated by the Puskarich Public Library, the OSU Extension Office, and the Harrison County Community Improvement Corporation. The Harrison County Commissioners are involved in the project and have applied for grant funding in support of the effort. The Harrison County Engineer's office is coordinating the installation. The paintings are mounted to wooden frames, which are affixed to the barns. The frames were constructed by students in the Industrial Arts Program at Harrison Central High School. Two of the paintings were done by students in the Arts program at Harrison Central High School, and three were painted by 4-H clubs from the county. The balance were painted by volunteers from Harrison County.
The Harrison County Election Board became involved during the Harrison County Fair in July 2005. The Election Board had the opportunity to hold a mock election as a part of demonstrating newly acquired electronic voting machines that are to be put into service for the November 2005 election. The twenty-eight quilts that had been submitted for consideration were photographed and downloaded to the database of the election machines. Fairgoers were given the opportunity to vote for their favorite quilt. The winner was a quilt in the Dahlia pattern submitted by county resident Barbara Besozzi. The quilt was sewn by her grandmother, Mary Henderson. The quilt square is located on a barn on the homestead where it was sewn.
The first quilt was installed on August 16, 2005. The next eight quilts were installed as a part of Make A Difference Day Ohio, 2005.
Funds for the project are being raised through contributions from individuals, businesses, and civic groups. Grant funds are being sought as opportunities are identified.
The Harrison County Commissioners received a Make a Difference Day grant from the Governor's Office of Appalachia and Ohio's Appalachia Country, which covered one half of the cost of installation of eight quilts. Make A Difference Day Ohio was held on October 22, 2005. The state program is co-chaired by Ohio's First Lady Hope Taft and OSU Football Coach Jim Tressel. This year's grant program supported projects that established public art, such as the Quilt Barn project.

First Things 99 (January 2000): 35-38.
[Francis Bacon's] endeavor is no doubt contrasted in our minds
with that of the magicians: but contrasted only in the light of the
event, only because we know that science succeeded and magic
failed. That event was then still uncertain. Stripping off our
knowledge of it, we see at once that Bacon and the magicians
have the closest possible affinity. . . . Nor would Bacon himself
deny the affinity: he thought the aim of the magicians was "noble."
"So I should be in
Harry said, looking desperately into
Dumbledore's face. "The
Sorting Hat could see
Slytherin's power in me,
and it -"
"Put you in
Gryffindor," said
Dumbledore calmly. "Listen to
me, Harry. You happen to have many
qualities Salazar Slytherin
prized in his hand-picked students. Resourcefulness . . . determination . . .
a certain disregard for rules," he added, his moustache quivering again.
"Yet the Sorting Hat placed
you in Gryffindor. You know
why that was. Think."
"It only put me in
Gryffindor," said
Harry in a defeated voice, "Because
I asked not to go in
Slytherin. . . ."
"Exactly," said Dumbledore,
beaming once more. "Which makes you very different from
[Voldemort]. It is our choices,
Harry, that show what we truly are, far
more than our abilities." Harry sat
motionless in his chair, stunned.

Scott Disick, the boyfriend of Kourtney Kardashian, was recently hospitalized after swallowing a bottle of pills. Disick has understandably been depressed after the shocking deaths of both his parents several months ago, and was hospitalized or alcohol poisoning in June, TMZ reported.
The hospitalization, which came after his alcohol poisoning, was revealed in a preview to the first season of "Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons."
On a recent episode of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," Disick got upset after Kourtney revealed she was pregnant with their third child. Disick, 31, said that while he loves being a father, having two small children is exhausting and has strained his relationship with Kourtney. The couple usually sleeps in separate bedrooms.
"I barely feel like I can take care of myself," he confessed. "I am hanging on by a string. I'm so f***ing tired. I just [want] to have some fun."
Scott and Kourtney's relationship has also been strained by Disick's partying and excessive drinking over the years. Disick has cut back on drinking a lot, but still parties to excess when he's stressed.
In the preview to "Kourtney and Khloe Take The Hamptons," (the fifth spinoff to "Keeping Up With the Kardashians"), Disick is rushed to the hospital after swallowing a bottle of pills after Kourtney locks him out of their summer house for excessive drinking.
"Unless you want to be sober, then I don't want you here," said Kourtney. "And if you want to die, then you can continue to act this way."
Both Of Scott's Parents Died Several Months Ago
Disick's battle with alcoholism has been a running theme on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" for the past few seasons. This past year has been especially rough for Scott. In October 2013, his mother, Bonnie, died at age 63. Three months later, Scott's father, Jeffrey Disick, also died. No cause of death was provided in either instance.
Scott isn't the only member of the Kardashian clan who has battled substance abuse. NBA star Lamar Odom, the ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian, began abusing drugs and partying heavily shortly after being cut from the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011. His NBA career has floundered since then, and his marriage fell apart, in part due to his erratic drug-fueled behavior.
Similarly, Rob Kardashian, the younger brother of Kim Kardashian, is battling severe depression, anxiety and a rumored drug addiction after his shocking 100-pound weight gain. Sources said Kardashian has gotten dependent on the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and the painkillers Norco and Percocet to ease his depression.
Rob's recent dramatic weight gain (rumored to be about 100 pounds) has been an ongoing source of concern for his sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney, who are not only worried about his physical health, but his emotional well-being. Kardashian recently embarked on a plan to lose 50 pounds through diet and exercise.
Meanwhile, Kardashian family patriarch Bruce Jenner is making headlines, as his Spanx obsession and refusal to cut his ponytail fueled more rumors he wants to be a woman and is seeking a sex change operation.
Disclaimer: Scott Disick has not denied or commented on whether this was, in fact, an unsuccessful suicide attempt. However, we hope it was not and are glad he's well.

Outside of mock drafts, the most useless but popular things that NFL fans love are instantaneous draft grades. It's a Twitter world and patience is dead. None of these players have set foot on the practice field yet, but that won't stop your KC Chiefs Examiner from giving you his gut reaction draft grades for the Chiefs and their AFC West foes, the Denver Broncos, Oakland Raiders, and San Diego Chargers.
1 (23) Dee Ford, DE/OLB, Auburn.
2 (would have been #56) Pro Bowl QB Alex Smith
3 (87) Phillip Gaines, CB, Rice.
4 (124) De'Anthony Thomas, RB/WR, Oregon.
5 (163) Aaron Murray, QB, Georgia.
6 (193) Zach Fulton, G, Tennessee.
6 (200) Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, OT, McGill University.
Like everything else in Kansas City, most experts hate this draft. (Paranoid and persecuted? Who, me?) You would think that by taking Dee Ford with their first pick instead of the wide receiver the mock draft guys thought they would take, the Chiefs were the NFL version of a lobotomized crack addict who can't be trusted with the TV remote, much less valuable draft picks. Of course, then the talking heads on radio and TV spent the next three days telling everyone that "you can never have enough pass rushers in this league!!" Ok Slick, call me next year when Ford buries Philip Rivers and Matt Schaub for a couple of sacks in their first games against each other.
On the other hand, I'm not going to lie … it was difficult to see the Chiefs with only 6 picks for the draft when teams like the Rams and 49ers seemingly had four pics per round. I think fans (and myself included) got a little over-agitated by the fact that the team didn't have a second-round pick from the Alex Smith trade last year. Smith is no Manning or Brady to be sure, but the second half of last year showed he is a legit top-10 quarterback and will be more integral to success in KC than any player available at #56 would ever be.
I have no problem with their first two draft picks this year as they got a talented pass rusher in Ford who will contribute beginning on Day 1, but won't shoulder the pass rushing load by himself. Gaines at corner has the speed to stay with someone like … I don't know … T.Y. Hilton in a playoff game where you have a huge halftime lead. The football gods gave Andy Reid a more talented version of Dexter McCluster when Thomas dropped to the fourth round, while Aaron Murray is the kind of quarterback that can look good in Reid's system for a handful of games and then get the team some draft picks back in a trade or if he sign a big free agent contract (think: Kevin Kolb, Matt Flynn, etc). Who knows? Maybe if he becomes really good, Murray becomes another Trent Green in KC?
Odds are that neither of the last two picks will make an impact for a year or two – if at all – but both possess the kind of intangibles that make them a great value for where they were taken. The more I have researched Duvernay-Tardif, the more the name "Dave Szott" pops into my head. I think he might eventually move to guard and then 10 years from now, he may be the one player from this draft that is still on the team.
As far as team needs going into this year, the Chiefs still could have used a wide receiver but Ford will help win more games in 2014 than USC wide receiver Marqise Lee would have in the first round. The coaching staff is putting all their eggs for safety, their other position of need, in 2014 in Eric Berry, Sanders Commings, and Hussain Abdullah.
1 (31) Bradley Roby, DB. Ohio State
2 (56) Cody Latimer, WR, Indiana
3 (95) Michael Schofield, OT, Michigan
5 (156) Lamin Barrow, LB, LSU
6 (207) Matt Paradis, C, Boise State
7 (242) Corey Nelson, LB, Oklahoma
Let's be honest … the Broncos did most of their damage in the free agency wars and getting #18 to come back for another year of chasing records. I can't shake the feeling that Roby is going to be a hit-or-miss corner, but he provides critical athleticism and depth at a position of need. Latimer hurts Chiefs fans only in the fact that the Broncos picked him in the exact spot the Chiefs gave up in the Alex Smith trade and the Chiefs probably would have him on Day 1. But in Denver, by the time Latimer becomes a real factor, Peyton Manning will be retired.
Still, the Broncos did what most defending conference champs do, they used the draft to add quality depth to an already powerful squad and their formula for success remains the same: keep Peyton upright and throwing the ball.
Oakland Raiders: A-
1 (5) Khalil Mack, LB, Buffalo
2 (36) Derek Carr, QB. Fresno State
3 (81) Gabe Jackson, G, Mississippi State
4 (107) Justin Ellis, DT, Louisiana Tech
4 (116) Keith McGill, DB, Utah
7 (219) T.J. Carrie, DB, Ohio
7 (235) Shelby Harris, DE, Illinois
7 (247) Jonathan Dowling, DB, Western Kentucky
Yes, my readers … it pains me to give the Raiders an "A" in anything, but let's be honest. They've had a terrific off-season!!
The final success of this draft will be determined if Carr gives the Raiders something they haven't possessed since Rich Gannon retired – stability at the QB position. For 2014, Oakland has Matt Schaub who can at least start for the year as Carr learns the game better. As a Chiefs fan, it really hurt to see the Silver and Black get Mack, who I think might end up being one of the best players in the draft. I will definitely say that if Mack had been in last year's draft when the Chiefs had the first pick, he'd probably be wearing a red jersey this year. Jackson will start on Day 1 on the O-line, and McGill was a freaking STEAL in the fourth round! The rest of their draft has some intriguing developmental players. The Raiders have been in bad pick/salary cap hell for a few years, but GM Reggie McKenzie has their arrow pointing up for sure.
1 (25) Jason Verrett, DB, TCU
2 (50) Jeremiah Attaochu, OLB, Georgia Tech
3 (89) Chris Watt, G, Notre Dame
5 (165) Ryan Carrethers, DT, Arkansas State
6 (201) Marlon Grice, RB, Arizona State
7 (240) Tevin Reese, WR, Baylor
Much like the Chiefs, San Diego was a bit hamstrung by only having six picks in the draft, but they had a solid if not spectacular three days in New York. Well, the first two days, at least.
Verrett is small, but he reminds me of a Kevin Ross-type who is always in the right place at the right time. He'll begin his career as a nickel back, where he won't have to cover the Demaryius Thomases or Calvin Johnsons of the world. Attaochu won't necessarily be forced into action early but he is a terrific pass rusher who could become very familiar with Alex Smith next year. Watt is a grinder who will challenge for playing time, but the last three picks are just kind of forgettable. Especially Grice who will be #4 or 5 on the depth chart at RB.

Henri Cartier-Bresson: Here and Now, 1st Edition, Clement Cheroux
A new career retrospective of the legendary photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson including rare and unpublished work
Henri Cartier-Bresson's work embraced art, politics, revolution, and war. But more powerful than any of these overarching themes was his evident concern for the human individual at every social level.
This lavishly illustrated monograph—published to accompany France's first major retrospective since the photographer's death in 2004—traces Cartier-Bresson's development as a photographer, activist, journalist, and artist. In addition to some of Cartier-Bresson's best-known photographs, included here are many seldom seen or unpublished images and some rarities in color as well as black-and-white.
From his earliest photographs in Paris in the 1920s and Africa in the 1930s, Cartier-Bresson's capacity to conjure coherence and harmony out of a chaotic world appears effortless and innate—a deep-centered attitude rather than a merely learned technique. His observations of the effects of poverty and revolution around the world led directly to his pioneering photojournalism and to his co-founding of Magnum Photos. He became renowned for his penetrating portraits of the most prominent figures of his time, becoming, in the words of his biographer Pierre Assouline, "the eye of the century." 500+ illustrations in color and black-and-white.
"Substantial and inclusive. . . . the standard narrative of the photographer, in which he moves from early surrealist concerns into photojournalism, becomes instead a narrative of diverse influences and concerns, ideals resonating and evolving across images. . . . The comprehensiveness and quality of this latest monograph distinguishes it as a significant contribution." (Publishers Weekly)

I know, I know. Why am I reviewing more SweeTart candies if I'm not a fan of them? Let's just say sometimes curiosity gets the best of me and I like to take one of the team. I noticed these by chance in one of the smaller Easter candy bins on the very bottom shelf. I was immediately drawn in by how extremely colorful they were, so into the bag they went.
I was instantly delight by them once I opened the package, for many reasons. They have a nice bouncy chew, and the sugar coating gives it a little texture that feels sandy, but not grainy. The actual form of these candies are really cute, they're obviously bunnies and the mold for these is very pleasing. The form is recognizable without being too detailed, and the proportions are nice too. I don't feel the bunnies are overly deformed (like gummi bears with the giant heads). The ears are the best feature. So cute! Probably one of the most adorable Easter candies I've encountered yet.
Pink: I can't lay my finger on this flavor. It's a little strawberry, a little cherry and a little watermelon. It was a little sweet, a little tart…and lot of "little"s huh? It has a nice red fruity flavor with a good sweet tarty zest to it.
Orange: Very tart orange flavor. It's strong in the beginning, but then mellows into a light sweet flavor.
Yellow: Lemon, but very floral and soapy tasting.
Green: It tastes subtly of apple, like a nice tart cider. Mainly it's just sweet with a tarty edge.
Blue: I expected this to taste of blue raspberry, but what a surprise to find that it tasted like a fruity Hawaiian punch! Must be the same blue punch flavor as the jelly bean from yesterday's review. It's got a good sour note, with flavors of apple, grape, banana and orange all mixing around. It's lovely.
Purple: Has a very floral, grape soda like essence. The tartness and the strength of the grape flavor grows as you eat it, which I found interesting. Usually it's the other way around. I think the tart and grape work really well together.
I liked these a lot better than the jelly bean version. The texture and cute shape certainly play a big part in that though, as opposed to the flavors winning me over. I didn't finish the bag and ended up sharing them with friends instead.

Build a Fire Pit in an Afternoon11 photos
Follow this easy step by step tutorial that will have you building a dry stack fire pit in no time.
Easy Do-It-Yourself Fire Pit
A perfect place to gather with family and friends, this DIY fire pit couldn't be easier to make! No mortar is necessary when you use retaining wall bricks to dry stack the sides and river rock to finish it off. Editor's Note: Make sure the manufacturer of the concrete bricks you are using has deemed them safe for a fire pit application. For extra security, when you are using brick, stone or pavers to create your fire pit, line the inside of the fire pit with a fire-rated brick.

There is plenty of draft and venting just in the gaps of the dry stacking of the bricks. No worries, this will burn and breathe nicely. You could always leave one or two of your smaller bricks out from the second tier.Flag this Comment

You say to line the inside with fire rated bricks but there is no mention of this in your instructionsFlag this Comment

Hi Eddy, I used a fire pit as per the instructions for 8 years with no issues BUT if someone is concerned about fire rating of the bricks, the Editors Note state that you can purchase fire rated bricks as an extra precaution. Hope that helps answer your question. ~HeatherFlag this Comment

Without a proper base these pavers will become uneven over time being staked 4 high. A 4 inch base of sand/gravel/concrete will prevent this.Flag this Comment

There's much talk about the brick needing to be fire rated so it'll last. Home Depot/Lowes sells medal fire pit ring inserts, problem solved. Tina I've thought about the same thing a friend of mine has a fire pit built like this one, but it has a metal ring insert, he uses a scoop made from a laundry soap bottle with the top cut off to remove the ashes.Flag this Comment

If you make a nice thick bed of rock and burn your fire all the way down. You can take a water hose and wash the ash down though the rock leveing a nice clean rock bedFlag this Comment

There are certain categories that make the academy awards interesting, normally because even the best predictions cannot foresee who is going to win. Last year "Slumdog millionaire" swept the awards season and it was easy to predict who was going to win here and there, although there were some surprises like "Departures" winning best foreign film and Sean Penn beating Mickey Rourke for best actor.
This year the surprises come in some pretty big categories, and there will be surprises and snubs in all of the following categories, no matter who wins. First of all, these are dead-lock winners in their category.
Best Picture
It is almost a tied race between "The hurt locker" and "Avatar". I stated last week that "Inglourious Basterds" had a chance at gold, but "Avatar" has been receiving a lot of free and paid press lately, so I take it back. Some academy voters have also stated that they voted for "Avatar" and the film has a huge fan following. If "Avatar" wins, then a lot of critics will be upset for "A hurt locker", and if "The hurt locker" wins then a lot of "Avatar" fans will be dissapointed, because some people consider it one of the best films of last years (just compare the IMDB ratings: "Avatar" has an 8.5, and "The hurt locker" has an 8.0).
It is impossible to say that a movie is better than the other. "A hurt locker" has a better story and not so cliche dialogue, but "Avatar" is simply breathtaking and the story is classic but reconstructed to use it in a 21st century manner to ultimately portray a very green message, which resonated with a lot more people than "A hurt locker". In reality, "Avatar" will be remembered forever because it is so technical impressive, some people claim it to be the next "Star wars", so in that sense, "Avatar" is already a better movie. Who will win? I should go with the safe bet and choose the PGA, DGA winner "The hurt locker", yet I am biting my tongue in this one, something innate tells me that "The hurt locker" is not going to win. It makes sense that I say "The hurt locker" is going to win, but I think that if the Academy voted "The blind side" on the top 10 movies of 2009, then it can vote "Avatar" best film to make audiences happy, and to side behind a film that is really good and maybe even underated.
Winner: "Avatar"
Best Actress
Meryl Streep had been nominated 16 times and Sandra Bullock has been nominated once. Streep has won 2 times, and people say she should win every year. Yet, Bullock did something this year that the Academy simply loves: a comeback. Last year the academy gave the Oscar to Sean Penn over Rourke (who also had a massive comeback) because Penn was incredible as Harvey Milk, but in this case, Streep's performance is not as strong as she can be. I think that they should give her the Oscar on a role that simply showcases all her acting talent, and states once and for all that she is the best living actress. Bullock's performance was not that strong, but she was well received among fans, specially in the midwest where the Academy has always failed earning the big ratings. Bullock will win, and now it is more a matter of time than a race, but there is always the chance that the Academy chooses Hollywood royalty.
Winner: Sandra Bullock
Best Original Screenplay
"The hurt locker" won the Writer's guild award, and has been the front-runner, but Quentin Tarantino was not nominated for the writer's guild because he is not a member. "Inglourious Basterds" will not win any big awards apart from best supporting actor, so the Academy will like to give him the same award that they gave him for "Pulp fiction". Either way, I am a Tarantino fan, and will be rooting for "Inglourious" as it deserves it.
Winner: "Inglourious Basterds"
Best foreign language film
Past awards don't matter, hence "Departures" winning last year, so I won't even mention them. The race is between two films. "A prophet" is the french "The godfather" without the glamour and set in a prison. It works as a religious allegory, as a social commentary, and as an interesting look at human nature behind bars. The acting is also superb and you feel entertained throughout every minute of the 2+ hours. "The white ribbon" is an interesting look at a small German town whose kids will grow up to live in a fascist society. The actions of the children are an allegory for the social diversion that happened in WW2 Germany. Both are fantasitc movies, and the Academy loves WW2 films, but "A prophet" is a stronger film, and it has a Hollywood narrative, so the members that vote on this category will like it better.
The third film in the race, "The secret in her eyes" shows the untalked effects of the Peron government and is still powerful as a narrative (it even has a happy ending), but it falls flat in some parts and the building up to the climax could have been done better. "Milk of sorrow" is an art-house look at the effects of terrorism in Peru, and its strong as it touches topics like the social class differences in Lima and the different mentalities of the country, but it is really slow and people will probably not remember it as the film can't compete against the already classic "A prophet" or "The white ribbon".
Winner: "A prophet"
Best cinematography
Again, the race is between "Avatar" and "The hurt locker". Both films have been the front-runners in this category for a long time, and neither won for the ASC awards, "The white ribbon did". Now, the academy will definitely favor one of this two films, they are the ones that people want to see win and so do the critics. Although the cinematography of "A hurt locker" is better, "Avatar" will probably win because the film is set in another world and created completely out of CGI. No big deal.
Winner: "Avatar"
Best costume design
The race is between "Coco before Chanel" and "The young victoria". Both great costume designers, yet "The young Victoria" is the kind of film the Academy seems to favor because it is British (actually the film is Canadian funded, but set in Britain).
Winner: "The young Victoria"

The Iliad
by Homer
The Iliad Book 17 Summary
- Menelaos gets in a fight with Euphorbos—the first man to spear Patroklos in Book 16—over Patroklos's body.
- Menelaos kills Euphorbos and starts stripping off his gear, but then backs down in the face of stronger Trojan numbers. Oh yeah, and he also recognizes that the god Apollo is aiding Hektor.
- Next Menelaos goes and gets Aias, who comes to help defend the body. By this point, however, it is already too late to preserve his armor—Hektor has taken it.
- Aias stands over Patroklos and the Trojans back off.
- Now Glaukos starts cursing Hektor, calling him a wuss. Glaukos says th Lykians should desert, for all the thanks they get for being such good allies of the Trojans. He wants to know how come they didn't put more effort into defending Sarpedon.
- Glaukos says that they should capture Patroklos's body and then use it as leverage to ransom back Sarpedon's body and his armor from the Achaians. (Apparently Glaukos doesn't know that Apollo has already taken his body back to Lykia, his homeland.)
- Even though Hektor tells Glaukos off for his insolence, he nonetheless instructs his comrades to work at capturing the body of Patroklos.
- As for Hektor himself, though, he first takes a time-out to put on the armor he stripped from his body—that is, the armor of Achilleus.
- Looking down on Hektor, Zeus pities him. He decides to give him strength for the next little while —knowing his time isn't long.
- Once he's all decked out in his new armor, Hektor leads his troops on the attack. He promises to share the spoils of war with them.
- Seeing them coming, Aias and Menelaos worry about their own ability to hold off so many adversaries. They call out for backup.
- A furious battle erupts over the corpse of Patroklos.
- Zeus envelops the fighters in mist and puts courage into the Achaians. He never disliked Patroklos while he was alive.
- Even so, the Achaians are forced to give him up. They rally though, when the Trojans start to drag him off.
- Various dudes are killed on both sides.
- When the Trojans are beaten back and about to return inside the city walls, Apollo appears to Aineias in the form of a Trojan warrior. He tells him to keep up the fight: Zeus is with them.
- Aineias recognizes that a god has addressed him, and urges the Trojans back into the fight.
- Meanwhile, in the camp, Achilleus doesn't yet know of the death of his friend, and hopes to see him soon.
- In the battle, besides the corpse, the horses from Achilleus's chariot refuse to return to the Achaian camp. Instead, they stand by weeping and soiling their manes in the dust.
- Zeus pities them and inspires the Myrmidon warrior Automedon to take them back to the ships.
- He also imparts to the horses a little of that ol' get up and go.
- Things don't go as planned though, because instead of heading straight back, Automedon starts killing dudes from the chariot.
- Seeing him, Alkimedon, another Myrmidon, says, "Hey, you can't fight everyone alone!"
- Automedon says, "Hmm. You're right. You take the chariot back, I'll dismount and fight this out on foot."
- After they do the switch, however, Hektor sees Alkimedon riding off. He calls to Aineias and says, "Let's go steal that chariot and those horses."
- Aineias instantly agrees.
- When Automedon sees them coming, he decides to defend the chariot while Alkimedon keeps riding it.
- The poet's focus now shifts back to the fight around Patroklos. There, Athene comes down in the shape of Phoinix and berates Menelaos for not being helpful.
- She fills him with power and sends him back to the fight. There, Apollo is still backing up Hektor.
- As the fight rages back and forth, Aias calls to Menelaos to tell Antilochos, the son of Nestor, to go find Achilleus and let him know of Patroklos's death.
- After Menelaos finds him and gives him the instructions, Antilochos runs off on his errand—even though he really doesn't want to be the bearer of bad news.
- Menelaos rejoins the fighting beside Patroklos.
- He says he doubts Achilleus will come and help them. "How can he fight without armor?" he wonders.
- Then, suddenly, Meriones and Menelaos scoop up Patroklos and start making their escape. They are defended by Aias and little Aias. With the Trojans in hot pursuit, they must struggle every step of the way.

Trust Mitt to do the right thing. He has spent his life proving that he knows what he is doing. If he chooses the correct wife that proves he knows what he is doing. If he saves the corrupt Olympic Committee, that proves he knows what he is doing. If he chooses the correct VP, that proves he knows what he is doing. If elected that should be PROOF that he knows what he is doing? TRUST MITT TO DO THE RIGHT THING, HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS DOING! The only other choice is Obama, and if you think Obama knows what he is doing, then Obama is the man for you!
Sounds good to me. Let's get started.
This is a dream team. I like this one. I hope most of the departments are gone and these people oversee that effort.
Paul, Romney has already said he was going to get rid of many departments and Education happened to be one of those he mentioned. I believe he will get rid of some, there is too much waste going on and a lot of those departments are the reason why. Yes, I believe Romney will do that. I think what we all need to remember is these things will not happen in a month after he is elected, there are too many things to get done and they have to have their prioraties in place as well and us remembering, when you start knocking dominos down there is a chain reaction and they will need to be prepared to connect the dots and fill in the gaps to control the roll. time, it will take some time. With a strong proactive competent team it can be done and in a timely manner and as as said. The sooneer they are in place the faster things will happen.
I can see how having this all in place would be a big kick in the head for Obamas team. Their focus would be so far spread and all over the place that it would be hard to just focus on bashing Romney. There are a couple of people here I would not necessarily agree with but the one I would really question is Joe Arpaio. For one thing, doyou know his age? As a follower and supporter of Arpaios for all the years he has run I am starting to think we need to be looking for another strong sherriff in Dodge that will focus on the same things. Many of us that have been behind him for years do believe he has run his course and is at a point in his life he needs to find a suitable predicessor and support him. The entire idea and thought process however cold be kind of like the Bomb over Hiroshima to the obama Team. Could definately be a game winner.
Perfect! I also wrote on Mitt Romney's website. Allen West would be a perfect choice for VP, and the rest are perfect as well. I sure hope he takes the advice, and it is time for him to come out swinging. No asking Obama to apologize for anything, it isn't going to happen. Let him say whatever he wants, he has his own hoof and mouth disease which Romney can easily counteract with facts.
Paul Geffert - I have posted on Mitt Romney's official site but have never heard anything back. Don't know if there is a way to send something directly to Romney or one of his top people like Ed Gilliespie, etc. Would like to communicate with them but hard to reach people like that with all the stuff they likely get.
Mike Meeks - of course, there are some departments (corrupt and wasteful that serve no useful purpose for all practical purposes), and they should be abolished but not sure that Mitt Romney will do that. A Sarah Palin, Allen West or maybe even a Newt Gingrich would but can not see Mitt being that aggressive there. A conservative Congress could by refusing to fund them when passing a budget or making their budget so low that they have to do major cuts in their programs and number of people who work there, etc. But if we could eliminate or drastically reduce many un-effective, useless and wasteful agencies, combine those that are reduntant and cut overall government spending, we could definitely have a balanced budget without a tax increase. Of course, we should still pass a constitutional amendment that mandates a balanced budget (except in time of war) and an amendment that allows the president to have line item veto authority (like most state governors have. Also, we need to have a major tax reform bill that streamlines our tax structure and eliminate all deductions -- all of this would reduce spending and increase tax collections due to increased business activity in this country along with a robust economy - less taxes overall but more tax collection with an increased in our business and economy and more people working who will be paying into the tax collection system instead of getting entitlements and handouts. Charles R. Kienast
Great list. A few corrupt departments were left out. The FDA and Federal trade commission are close to the top
of the list.
Do you think we could get a (balanced) budget with out a tax increase if we stop paying for bad government?
I agree. The more places we can spread this the better. If anyone wishes to contact me regarding this, I also do a fai amount of radio interviews and can be available at any time. My contact info is on my site at thenationalpatriot.com so...Let's take this to the NEXT level...Shall we???

Lunchbox, Lindbergh, King Collection
On May 20-21, 1927, Charles Lindbergh literally flew into history when he crossed the Atlantic Ocean in his Ryan NYP Spirit of St. Louis, thus becoming the first pilot to fly solo and nonstop from New York to Paris. This flight made Lindbergh a household name and catapulted him into fame and celebrity. The objects of popular culture in the National Collection display everything from ashtrays to wristwatches reflect the public adulation for Lindbergh and the powerful commercial response to his celebrity. More than 75 years after the Spirit's historic flight, Lindbergh's name still has the power help sell manufactured goods.
Gift of the Stanley King Family.
Physical Description:
A rectangular lunch box that shifts in color from yellow at the bottom to orange at the top. An orange handle is attached just below the lid in the center of the box. The lid is orange in color and hinged along one of the longer sides and features a black silhouette image of an airplane that resembles the Spirit of St. Louis. The four sides of the box are decorated with black silhouettes of figures such as a cowboy riding on top of a horse, three figures wearing Native American headdresses gathered around a teepee and fire, four children with a balloon and a small dog and a woman lying down on the stern of a boat with a square sail. The inside of the box is silver in color with rust and signs of wear.

We took a short 3 stop ride into Rocky Mountain National Park after the recent snow storm. This is a photograph of Bear Lake. It is an easy and wonderful hike during the winter months as it is a short, flat hike. I will be adding numerous other photographs of these 3 places during the winter. Hallet Peak and a bit of Flattop can be seen in all 3 photographs with snow rising off the top of Tyndall Glacier.
Sprague Lake is also a wonderful, short and flat hike in Rocky Mountain National Park. There is so much snow in RMNP at this time that you can snowshoe around Sprague Lake. Sadness does prevail as some of the wonderful trees that we remember are unfortunately not there any more due to the recent beetle kill of those trees.
Storm Pass is a place that most people drive by as it only has 3-4 parking spaces. It is a wonderful backcountry hike, but it is long and steep (not for the average hiker). But the beauty does show itself in the first 50 feet after you've parked your car.

BMW, Chrysler Recalling SUVs and Sports Cars
BMW AG and Chrysler Group LLC recently filed recall notices with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The German luxury-car maker said it will recall certain X5 SUVs from the 2007 to 2010 model years. Chrysler is recalling certain Dodge Viper sports cars from the 2003 and 2004 model years.
BMW said its recall affects 30,265 vehicles with eight-cylinder engines that the company built from Sept. 12, 2006, through March 18, 2010. The vehicles' brake vacuum pump may leak small amounts of lubricating oil into the hose, which could result in contamination of the steering fluid.
If this happens the brakes could lose their power assist, which could result in longer stopping distances and the increased risk of a crash.
Under the recall BMW dealers will replace the brake vacuum line with one that includes a check valve. The service is free of charge. The recall is expected to begin this month. Owners may contact BMW at 800-525-7417 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Chrysler said its recall includes 4,278 Vipers built from Nov. 1, 2001, through June 30, 2004. In the affected cars, a part in the air bag control module may fail, causing the front airbags or seatbelt pretensioners, or both, to deploy unexpectedly while the car is being driven.
Chrysler also said the current action stems from a recall last November for similar airbag problems in Jeep vehicles.
Under the recall dealers will install a filter to restore the control modules' proper function. Chrysler said it will begin notifying owners this month. Customers can contact Chrysler at 800-247-9753.
