News 12 First at Five/ August 16, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga.--If you don't have health insurance, you will soon, whether you want it or not. The Affordable Care Act, also called Obamacare, kicks in in less than two months, and it means everyone will have to pay for health insurance.
US Congressman John Barrow was in Augusta Friday at the Henry Brigham Community Center as seniors gathered to hear more about their healthcare options.
The forum was held as part of community health center week. So, we asked him what you can expect October 1st. He says, "If everything goes according to schedule, it's going to begin the open enrollment program for those folks who don't have insurance, but for those who want to try and get insurance under the Affordable Care Act."
But, many people still have a lot of questions about the new healthcare plan, like Tommie Sampson, Jr., who says, "I don't know much about it."
Ron Skenes with Christ Community Health Services says, "I think a lot of people are really confused about how it's all going to work out."
Congressman Barrow says, "It's an unnecessarily complicated picture, that's one of the things that's wrong with the law."
The plan is for open enrollment to start in October for anyone without insurance. Then, their policy would become effective January 1st. But many states, including Georgia, have already filed for extenstions because they're running into rate hike problems with insurance companies. Congressman Jack Kingston says many people are already seeing rates nearly double.
He says, "Well I can put it this way, my 30 year old daughter who is extremely healthy, her premium went from $178 a month to $270 a month."
Michelle Nunn, a democrat running for Senate in 2014, admits, there are still some kinks to work out in the healthcare plan.
"I know how important it is for families to have the healtchare they need. I also know that there are some burdens and regulations on the current legislation. We need to diminish and problem solve around those," she said.
But, a lot of folks still have hope that the kinks can be worked out.
Dorothy Jones says, "I'm 81 years old and I remember all the social security, and all those different organizations that the government sponsored. They had a lot of kinks, but they worked them out. And I think if we work together we can work them out."
Until then, lawmakers say to expect a bumpy ride.
Congressman Barrow says, "I'm afraid they can expect more uncertainty because the insurance companies they're dealing with are going to be responding to that uncertainty by raising their premiums and hedging their bets against what's coming down the road."
Right now it's still not certain if open enrollment will start on time october 1st because a lot of states are way behind on getting everything done before that deadline.

People living in the 7th Congressional District have a new, but familiar face when it comes to their representation in Congress. But one pollster says Tim Walberg's victory is due in part to a top to bottom Republican sweep.
"I think the issue is more important to decide how [the Democrats] are going to work with our side. It's not us or them. It's the American people," said Walberg.
Walberg says he was confident that he would win based on his own internal poll and talking to voters. He says he knew this was his time.
"We though we'd win it. I don't think we got into the race to not win it," said Walberg.
But Epic MRA pollster Bernie Porn says Walberg's win came on the coat tails of Governor-elect Rick Snyder.
"I had said if the top of the ticket for Rick Snyder .... exceeded 60 percent it would have coat tails," said Porn.
Similar coat tails that Porn believes Mark Schauer had from Barack Obama in 2008. He said that most people voted Republican across the board starting with Rick Snyder. Walberg believes his own platform helped to secure his seat. But he does admit that his voters want change from the top down.
"American people .... overwhelmingly they repudiated this adminstration's agenda --- too far, too quick, fast too much," said Walberg.
The latest Epic MRA poll had Mark Schauer leading Tim Walberg by six points -- but it was poll Walberg says he didn't put much stock in.
"We knew we were going to be on top. Just a matter of how large. I said for many months that a four point win in this district was a landslide," said Walberg. "To have a five point win or margin we're very happy with that."

10 Best and Worst Frozen Foods You Can Eat
When you're stocking up on frozen food for those no-time-to-cook nights, here's what to avoid -- and the healthier alternatives that won't wreck your diet
"Stick to frozen food options that have 600 mg of sodium or less per serving," says Cipullo. "Otherwise you're bound to go over the recommended daily value that's between 1,500 and 2,300 mg." The healthier option: Blake's Organic Macaroni and Beef, which has 404 mg of sodium and an all-organic ingredient list.

I also didn't see the best listed, but that's ok because I don't really eat much frozen foods.

Ugh! I am so skeeved out by most frozen foods or pretty much anything that is quick and you can toss in the microwave. Most of that stuff has so much sodium in it that it scares me. I know its time consuming to cool a meal from scratch but I'm starting to think that it may be worth it in the end.

Hi, can someone confirm if there are issues with playing the following stream, please?
http://direct.monde.radio-canada.ca.edg ... ctor:32581 32581&akcp=8914&akserial=13&fp=v001 -
This link plays well, without any issues in both WMP and VLC.
When played in on PS3 via PMS it does not play, while the buffer size shows a growing... NEGATIVE value?
What gives?
I have tried other links for this station (RDI Canada), but in those cases other issues ensued.
PMS would play the stream for about 2-3 minutes after which it would stop.
Both this stream and the other streams work nicely in WMP and VLC.
If this stream works for you, I hope that someone can figure out what's going on.
Note that I am using VLC for both audio and video streaming .

Williams - Traders Waiting for Entry
Published on Thursday, 24 January 2013 04:18 Written by TradersHuddle Wire
New York, January 24th (TradersHuddle.com) - Shares of Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE:WMB) closed the trading day lower by $0.08 or -0.23% from its previous close. Williams' price action formed what is considered to be a doji close, where the open and close prices are very close to each other, mainly signaling an indecision between buyers and sellers.
The Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE:WMB) is an integrated natural gas company that produces, gathers, processes and transports natural gas. The Company's operations are concentrated in the Pacific Northwest, Rocky Mountains, Gulf Coast, the Eastern Seaboard, and the province of Alberta in Canada.
Williams' trading range is defined by a trough, which marked calculated support at $30.59 and by a peak that set the resistance point at $34.39. These levels are closely watched by traders managing their positions.
Traders wanting to establish a position in Williams or traders that are already holding the stock can use the doji close to their advantage, since the pattern present a short-term pause in the stock's price action. This pause results in an entry point for traders depending of which way the stock resolves this short-term indecision.
The Doji is an important candlestick pattern that provides information on their own and as components in a number of important patterns. Doji form when a security's open and close are virtually equal. The length of the upper and lower shadows can vary and the resulting candlestick looks like a cross, inverted cross or plus sign. Alone, doji are neutral patterns.
Any bullish or bearish bias is based on preceding price action and future confirmation. In the case of Williams, given that the stock finished the session lower, bears should monitor the stock, as it could reverse if it manages to trade above its intraday high. Below a Doji illustration:

Bergdahl Matter: Another 'Unforced Error' for Obama
BRUSSELS – The controversy over President Barack Obama's decision to negotiate the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl shows no signs of waning, as the White House continues to face questions over the circumstances.
But some of the fallout may have been avoided if the White House had handled the situation more deftly. The result is, in part, yet another self-inflicted wound that has put the president at odds with Congress, including members of his own party.
The threads of the criticism are that Sgt. Bergdahl had deserted his unit; that the U.S. shouldn't engage in hostage-like negotiations; and that Mr. Obama didn't notify Congress in the appropriate timeframe.
It's the latter that has essentially turned some of Mr. Obama's allies into critics.
"There certainly was time to pick up the phone and call and say, 'I know you all had concerns about this, we consulted in the past, we want you to know we have renewed these negotiations,'"said Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Dianne Feinstein (D., Calif.).
Ms. Feinstein said the Obama administration broke the law when it negotiated Sgt. Bergdahl's exchange for five Taliban leaders held at Guantanamo Bay detention facility.
But had the administration given her more of a heads up, Mr. Obama may have taken some of the bite out of criticism from traditional allies like Ms. Feinstein. In other words, he could have avoided an unforced error.
Senators had a mixed response to the classified, all-Senate briefing on the swap by key military and intelligence officials Wednesday evening, WSJ's Michael R. Crittenden reports. Sen. Dick Durbin (D., Ill.) said he was more comfortable with the administration's decision after seeing a video in which Sgt. Bergdahl appeared in poor health. While Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.) said he left the meeting with more questions.
The top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, Sen. James Inhofe (R., Okla.), said Sgt. Bergdahl isn't the issue. " The issue is the five who were released and the president who did that," he said.
Over the past year, Mr. Obama has fanned controversy on issues including the rollout of the federal health-insurance exchange, HealthCare.gov, and his deliberations over a strike against Syria for Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons in the country's long-running civil war.
The Bergdahl scenario further feeds into the narrative that Mr. Obama doesn't understand Congress. It comes on the heels of other issues where Mr. Obama misjudged the reaction from his allies on the Hill, including over some recent nominations.
For the White House, the response to Sgt. Bergdahl's rescue as part of a secret deal between the U.S. and Taliban leaders, brokered by Qatar, has been infuriating.
The issue has overshadowed Mr. Obama's trip to Europe this week, where he's focused on Ukraine, Russia and European security. It's not going away any time soon, either.
Expect the president to have to answer questions about it once again Thursday when he appears at a news conference with British Prime Minister David Cameron.

Funeral held for volunteer firefighter who died in wreck
Published: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 4:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 19, 2013 at 4:45 p.m.
Local firefighters, law enforcement officers, rescue personnel, family and friends said their goodbyes during a funeral procession for Etowah-Horse Shoe volunteer firefighter Neil Gilbert Tuesday near Highway 64 West and Etowah Park Road.
The funeral procession left Anchor Baptist Church around noon on its way to the burial site at Beulah Baptist Church Cemetery off of Hebron Road.
Eighteen-year-old Gilbert, an aspiring paramedic and volunteer firefighter, died in an early morning wreck on U.S. Highway 64 Friday. The single-car wreck occurred between Crab Creek Road and Vineyard Road in Transylvania County just before 4:30 a.m.
State Highway Patrol troopers say Gilbert was traveling east on Highway 64 when he ran off of the left side of the road and struck a tree just east of Brevard.
Gilbert joined the station as a junior firefighter at age 15. At 18, he was promoted to a senior volunteer officer.
Gilbert was the youngest of three sons and enjoyed hunting and fishing. He attended Beulah Baptist and Bethel Baptist churches and worked for an electric company. He was a loving son, fun brother and doting uncle with an infectious laugh and smile, family members said.

WASHINGTON -- If the government "shuts down" next Tuesday, your mail will still come. Doctors will see Medicare patients. NASA will keep talking to the astronauts circling Earth on the International Space Station. In fact, the majority of government workers will remain on the job.
The closings would hit random Americans first: California vacationers hoping to take in Yosemite National Park, Alcatraz Island or Pinnacles National Park; homebuyers seeking government-backed mortgages; veterans appealing the denial of disability benefits. On the bright side, however, tax audits would be suspended.
Ironically, a shutdown would have virtually no impact on President Barack Obama's health care law -- the program at the heart of his showdown with House Republicans. "Obamacare" is set to roll out its individual insurance plans on Tuesday, whether or not there's a government shutdown. So people hoping to sign up on that first day shouldn't be affected.
The shutdown threat is depressing for business owners around Yosemite who strongly rely on tourists to keep sales going. They're only now beginning to recover from the massive Rim Fire in and around the park that forced travelers to change their plans this summer.
The Interior Department says campers at national parks would get 48 hours to pack up and leave.
"I'd probably lose about half my clients," Tom Knoth, owner of Yosemite Sierra Fly Fishing, said of the looming shutdown. "We're kind of all expecting it to taper down anyway (for the fall), but it's going to be even worse -- like twice as worse."
Tourists would feel the pain, too.
"How does it help a family who saves all year for a big trip to Yosemite to close all the national parks -- and families are turned away and children cry with disappointment?" Sen. Barbara Boxer said on the Senate floor Friday.
Overall, California has 169,000 federal employees who could be furloughed, Senate Democrats estimate. About half of the 67,600 civilian military workers in the Golden State would be sent home without pay, while 220,000 service members would remain on duty but see their paychecks delayed if the shutdown extends beyond 10 days. Boxer said 14,000 government contractors in the state might not get paid on time.
But many services will remain because they are either considered essential, such as law enforcement, or are funded by separate streams of funds that won't be affected by the shutdown, such as post offices.
Others are funded years in advance. The VA Palo Alto Health Care System says its doors will remain open and services around the Bay Area will remain unchanged because it received the money it needs for current operations about two years ago.
Troubles would spread the longer a shutdown lasted.
A prolonged furlough of more than one-third of 2.1 million civilian federal workers could mean delays in processing applications for new Social Security disability claims, lost profits for businesses that sell goods or services to the government, and longer waits for kids seeking delinquent child support.
Kaitlin Thomas, who toured the National Museum of American History on Friday, found the whole thing a little annoying.
"If the public is paying for this, why are they shutting it down?" said Thomas, visiting from New York City.
The deadline nearing, the government scrambled on Friday to update its plans determining who would stay and who would go home, what would get done and what would have to wait.
Some of the nation's behind-the-scenes health and safety work would stop, however. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention would be severely limited in spotting or investigating disease outbreaks, from flu to that mysterious MERS virus from the Middle East. The government wouldn't process auto recall information or conduct new car safety testing.
A shutdown America could still go to war, Pentagon Comptroller Robert Hale told reporters Friday. But soldiers' pay might be delayed if closings lasted more than a week or so.
Other work that continues no matter how the political spat goes:

UTEP Opens C-USA Play Against League Newcomer UTSA
UTEP (1-1) and UTSA (1-2) kick off their eight-game Conference USA slates on Saturday. UTSA is one of five new C-USA teams on the Miners' schedule, along with Louisiana Tech (Oct. 5), North Texas (Nov. 9), FIU (Nov. 16) and Middle Tennessee (Nov. 30). UTSA is one of three C-USA teams that UTEP has never faced, along with FIU and Middle Tennessee. The Miners will be home for their first three league games, including battling La Tech on Oct. 5 and Tulsa on Oct. 12. The last time UTEP played its first three league games at home was in 1953, when it was a member of the Border Conference.
UTEP in C-USA
This is the Miners' ninth season as a C-USA member. The Miners are 24-40 all-time in C-USA action. UTEP is 17-15 in C-USA home games and 7-25 in C-USA road games. Since posting a .500 (4-4) league mark in 2008, the Miners have gone 3-5, 3-5, 2-6 and 2-6 respectively in conference play over the last four seasons. The Miners are 10-24 in their last 34 Conference USA games. UTEP has lost four of its last five C-USA home games dating back to the 2011 season.
UTEP in C-USA Openers
UTEP is 5-3 in C-USA openers (4-0 home, 1-3 away). The Miners haven't lost a conference opener that was played in their home stadium since 2004, when they came up on the short end of a 47-31 decision to 23rd-ranked Boise State. That was UTEP's final year in the Western Athletic Conference. The Miners have dropped their last three C-USA openers overall at Houston in 2010 (54-24), at SMU in 2011 (28-17) and at East Carolina in 2012 (28-18) after winning five straight.
50 Years of the Sun Bowl
GECU has partnered with UTEP Athletics to celebrate 50 years of Sun Bowl Stadium. On Saturday, GECU will sponsor the UTEP vs. UTSA game, exactly 50 years to the day that the Miners played their first game in the iconic venue. On Sept. 21, 1963, Larry Durham ran 54 yards for a touchdown on the game's first play from scrimmage as the Miners christened the facility with a 34-7 rout of North Texas State. Durham and a group of his 1963 teammates will be on hand for the 50th Anniversary game.
The Series
This is the first meeting between the Miners and the Roadrunners, who are in their third year with a football program and second year as an FBS member.
UTEP DL Dominic Matson (Warren HS), LB Anthony Puente (Marshall HS) and QB Blaire Sullivan (Central Catholic HS) all hail from San Antonio. UTSA LB Dalton Miller, DB Mauricio Sanchez and WR Aron Taylor also graduated from Warren High School. UTEP DL Roy Robertson-Harris, UTSA LB Tank O'Neal and UTSA OL Breyun Owens all attended South Grand Prairie [Texas] High School. UTEP DB Robert Spencer, UTSA DB Darrien Starling and UTSA DB Triston Wade all went to John Tyler High School in Tyler, Texas. In addition, UTEP DL Matthew Heard and UTSA WR Brandon Freeman both started their college careers at NM State. UTEP tight ends coach Brian Natkin is from San Antonio and played his prep ball at Churchill High School.
About UTSA
The Roadrunners are 1-2 with a 21-13 win at New Mexico, and losses to Oklahoma State (56-35) at home and Arizona (38-13) on the road. UTSA's all-time football record is 13-12, all under the direction of former National Coach of the Year Larry Coker. He earned the honors in 2001 after directing Miami (Fla.) to a 12-0 mark and national championship. In the 38-13 loss at Arizona last Saturday, UTSA senior QB Eric Soza completed 30-of-46 passes for 277 yards, but the Wildcats rushed for 264 yards behind Ka'Deem Carey, who racked up 128 yards on the ground, and B.J. Denker, who added 90. Soza has completed 75-of-121 passes (62 percent) for 822 yards and five touchdowns on the year. Despite averaging 294 yards passing per game, UTSA has just one receiver averaging over 50 yards per contest (sophomore Kenny Bias - 54.3 ypg). Seventeen players have made at least one catch for the Roadrunners through three games. The defense yields 434.7 yards per game (253.3 passing/181.3 rushing) with junior DB Triston Wade averaging a team-high 9.0 stops per outing.
Last Week
Aaron Jonesrushed for 97 yards and fellow true freshman Darrin Laufasa added 74 as UTEP punished NM State on the ground in the second half en route to a 42-21 win over the Aggies on Sept. 14 in Las Cruces. Limited to 49 yards rushing on 22 carries in the first two periods, the Miners erupted for 244 over the final 30 minutes. UTEP won its fifth straight game over NMSU while securing its third consecutive victory in Las Cruces. The teams combined for four touchdowns in the first five and a half minutes of the game. The defenses fared much better in the second quarter, with Jones' eight-yard run with 17 seconds remaining accounting for the only touchdown of the period. The Miners took a 21-14 lead into halftime. After the Aggies knotted the game at 21 midway through the third quarter, the Miners scored the game's final 21 points, the last 14 coming on long touchdown runs (17 yards, 45 yards) by Laufasa in the fourth quarter. Earlier, LaQuintus Dowell's 54-yard touchdown run put UTEP in the lead for good, 28-21, with 6:21 remaining in the third period. The Miners simply wore down the Aggie defense in the second half, running for 116 yards in the third quarter and 128 in the fourth. Jameill Showerscompleted 18-of-28 passes for 253 yards for UTEP, and Jordan Leslie had seven catches for 103 yards. Ian Hamilton also had a big night in the passing game with six receptions for 81 yards. A week after yielding 395 yards rushing to New Mexico, the Miners held NMSU under the century mark. The Aggies finished with 99 yards on 19 carries. Andrew McDonald and King Davis III combined to complete 14-of-26 passes for 299 yards for NMSU. The Aggies turned over the ball four times on the night.
Players Turned Coach
Sean Kugler is the second UTEP head coach who played for the Miners at one time. The other is Walter Milner, a three-year letterman from 1931-33 who served as head coach in 1942. Kugler is one of 12 active Division I head coaches who played at the school where they are currently coaching.

Mobile Monday: OneNote for iPhone/iPod/iPad
Our usual Mobile Monday blogger, Susan, is a big user of Microsoft OneNote. What she and others might not have noticed is that there is now an iPod/iPhone/iPad app for OneNote (iTunes Store link) available in the iTunes App Store. Written by Microsoft, it allows you to sync your OneNote with your Windows Live account. If you have HotMail, RocketMail, Live.com, MSN.com, or an XBox Live account, you have an account that will work with this application. In addition, all ECU student accounts can also use it immediately, because a firstname.lastname@example.com is also a Microsoft account. You can use the same SkyDrive storage for your OneNotes created on your iDevice as in the Office Web Interface or even in the OneNote application itself. So far there's not a Word, Excel or PowerPoint equivalent, but this is certainly a promising start.

Liverpool Message Board
dsteer_lfc_68 dsteer_lfc_68 Mar 7, 2013 14:54 Flag
Obsession, British Press, Utd
Only a short one as this is not Liverpool but Utd, but felt it worth posting.
Personally I'm getting a bit sick of all the press attention over Nani's Red Card the other night. I really think there is an obsession over Utd in the press sometimes, and while a controversial sending off causing a club to fall out of the CL would always been a story, I'm really not sure any other club would have got the mass sympathy of Fleet Street the way SAF has.
First off, maybe the card was harsh, but technically dangerous and reckless play can warrant a red card. Intent is all but impossible to determine and actually irrelevant. How a player is playing is either reckless and or dangerous or not, it does not matter whether you mean it to be reckless or not. Of all people I think Roy Keane has had the most sober reflection on events, and we all know he's no stranger to red cards.
Second, why no condemnation from the press on how SAF and Utd acted after the game? Rio avoids any sanction for the slow clap. I suppose respect is only enforced on a piecemeal basis. I do see the club has been fined for not fulfilling the media requirements, but seems the British press are not offended by not getting a chance to interview players after the match. Is that because by now they are used to SAF writing his own rules?
I'm not trying to write an anti manc bit here, but to be honest I just think if this had happened to Chelsea, or Arsenal or any other prem club in Europe the story would have been filtered through a different lens other than "poor Utd". Chances are if this had happened to any other English club the blame would have been directed at that clubs manager rather than anyone else.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
I agree with the sentiment. It was harsh and I can understand Utd fans feeling hard done by but the media reaction has been laughable - you'd think he'd sent RVP off in the warm up for being Dutch.
I've just watched Bale pick up another (6th of the season?) yellow for diving. The commentator mentioned "well, there wasn't much contact was there" as his only criticism. I'm not expecting much commentary about it in the media tomorrow either. Lucky he's British and not one of those dirty foreigners eh?

Hey the enhanced infrared animation wont work on swellinfo. Anyways, i think shes headed east. Look at this sat loop.
There is definitely west to east movement there. I think her best bet would be to head east anyways. Look at the ammount of wind shear directly to her west.
30 mph on a weak storm would shear it to pieces
The only thing steering it to the west would be that giant High.
All I know is that we are getting killer swell over here right now. Waves started Friday morn and its been building since. I went out yesterday morning before work for bout 1.5 hrs an then again after work for a nice 2.5 hr sess. Already went out earlier today before work, went to work an we ended up closing for the day so Im headed back out now.
As long as she sits out there, we will have great waves here. Thank you Debby!!
Anyone in PCB today? Heard it was going off. Who knows about surfing cape san blas?
giant High.
thanks for the info...concerning the swell...the swell info. headed to the Florida after i finish this egg roll.
Is it just me or lately has it seemed like theres frequently something like this out on 180-hour-out map, but it never seems to get any nearer?
the forecast is all over the place for SE NC. best to stop checking it obsessively every 2 hours, but the prospect of surf over the holiday weekend is just too hard to ignore...

Returning from vacation I knew that the neglected flowerbeds would look atrocious. �They did and this past Saturday was a perfect day to attack the weeds that had grown and taken over. � Our front yard has 6 areas where the previous owners had flowerbeds, plus add the one I've been attempting to install along the driveway that parallels the white fence that runs along our backyard boundary. �Looking over these areas, I decided that the kids were going to have to help me. �I knew there would be wailing and gnashing of teeth, one of them might even try the old saying,"My hands won't work!" which has gone down in family lore when our oldest tried that excuse at the age of 4 when he was told one evening that it was time to pick up his toys!
To my surprise, there wasn't any wailing, no excuses of aching bodies or appendages that quit working, when I announced my Saturday plan while they ate their pancakes. � To ease them into their tasks, I let them work like a relay team, or a wrestling tag team, if you will. �One would come out and work with me for 15-20 minutes, then be retired for the next one to come out and do their shift. �While working with me, I had an opportunity to pass on little lessons: how to grab that weed and pull it up correctly, how dandelions have a tuber type of root that goes deep into the soil, not to touch the weed with the thorns on the stems-I'd already decided to make those my domain, and with my youngest, how the bulb plants were done blooming but their leaves were still making food with photosynthesis to keep the bulbs nourished until they bloomed again next Spring. �The kids worked well for me and we soon had a bed in tip-top shape once again. �It looks nice now with the petunias in planters and the new daylillies planted there, with the hostas, �planted by the previous owners, filling themselves out.
As I worked on Saturday with my kids I thought about the job of parenting. �As a parent, you try to impart life lessons to your kids. �You hope that they listen, but some lessons they'll learn the hard way. �One enterprising father, in 1825, wrote a letter to Thomas Jefferson, who at this time in �his life, was a retired President, living quietly at his Virginia estate, Monticello. �The father informed the former President that he had named his infant son Thomas Jefferson Smith, and he wanted Mr. Jefferson to write his son a letter with advice in it as to living a good and successful life, a letter that his son could learn from and treasure when he grew older. �President Jefferson, to his credit, wrote a letter back to Mr. Smith, and also included in it a list of "Rules for Living" that the President tried to follow all of his life. �I found his rules interesting and wise and enjoyed reading them to my twin daughters last week during our History lesson-we homeschool our children, grades K-7th, and then allow them to attend 8th grade and then high school, so I am having �our twin daughters continue on with math and history lessons this summer before they venture off to 8th grade this Fall.
Here are some of President Jefferson's Rules: �Never put off till to-morrow what you can do to-day. �Never trouble another for what you can do yourself. Never spend your money before you have it. � Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold. �Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly. �When angry, count ten, before you speak; if very angry, an hundred.
The evening after the history lesson on Lewis and Clark, the Louisiana Purchase, and President Jefferson's rules for living, �one of my twin daughter's asked her twin sister to please go upstairs �and get an item for her. �I quickly pounced on one of Jefferson's rules, never to ask someone to do something for you that you can't do yourself, and reminded our daughter of it. � I �informed her that there was no reason why she couldn't run upstairs and get the item herself. �She quickly �got the message and retrieved the item without her twin doing it for her. �When I read historian David McCullough's book, John Adams, I learned that Thomas Jefferson, while considered a great statesman and President, was horrible when it came to keeping any kind of financial budget! � He was always owing payments �to business owners, despite warning his two daughters about being wasteful with money and paying one's bills on time! �This made me think �that as �parents, we have to stay on our toes when imparting wisdom to our kids, and we can talk their ears off with our words, but we must remember that actions do speak louder than words, and the kids are watching us. �Do we live by the words of wisdom that we want to impart to the next generation that God has �blessed us with?

My first show!! The World Trade Center in Boston is a big hall where they have a lot of conventions, like home shows and MacWorld. The stage was set up along the left wall with a small wooden dancefloor in front of the stage. They had fruit and nachos set out for all the New Year's guests. I had never seen Phish before, but had been very into them from tapes for about 8 months. I had no idea what they looked like except that the guitarist was red-headed with a beard. I saw a guy who fit this description and smiled, but it turned out not to be him.
The Ululators opened. Not so exciting really. Sorta world beat kind of stuff. I got right up front for Phish's set. 3 of the 4 members came out... Trey, Mike, and Page. They started up "I Didn't Know" and when the vac solo came... out came Fish, dressed in nothing but a top-hat and a g-string with tux-tails in the back. (The rest of the band was wearing tuxes and hats) He played his solo, and then got behind the kit. Thanks gawd he hid behind those drums!! What an atrocious sight for an impressionable 16 year old like myself!! The whole show I was yelling for the brand new Reba (debuted 3 months earlier). But never got it. Page sang a "dance tune".. Satin doll. An I saw my first in a string of 6 shows in a row with Mike's -> H2 -> Groove. (9 in my first 10)
(Published in the second edition of The Phish Companion...)
After many months of being into the band, I finally got my chance to go see them, the first in a tradition of Phish shows on New Years Eve. My friend Dug and I got to the venue fairly early. The room, usually used for home shows and computer shows, had been set up with a stage and a small dance floor, along with a buffet of fruit and nacho chips, provided by the band. To start the show, Page, Mike, and Trey came out in tuxedos and started into I Didnt Know, and then when it came time for the vacuum solo, Fish emerged from backstage, wearing a top hat and a g-string with tails. Fortunately, it was a short song, and Fish got behind his kit, fully hidden from my impressionable sixteen-year-old eyes. I was begging for the brand-new Reba all night long, but I never got it. However, I did get an excellent Mikes > Hydrogen > Groove, and Page sang a dance song, Satin Doll. What better way to bring in the 90s, but with the band of the 90s.

Ethan Hawke Gossip
Ethan Hawke gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Dear Gossips,
Last year The Hollywood Reporter announced that it would no longer be publishing the list of 100 Most Powerful Women in Hollywood because, as editor Janice Min explained, the magazine did not want to be pitting women against each other in competition. Read Full Intro
21st century Magnificent Seven
Alberto E. Rodriguez/ Todd Williamson/ Getty Images
Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is one of the most referenced films in cinematic history, and already has an American remake, The Magnificent Seven starring Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner. Well now there's a remake of the remake, directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Denzel Washington Full Story
TIFF Review: Maggie's Plan
Taylor Hill/ George Pimentel/ Getty Images
Julianne Moore has Freeheld and Maggie's Plan at TIFF this year. Julianne and Ethan Hawke were shooting Maggie's Plan at a Brooklyn ice rink barely 36 hours after they were on the Oscar red carpet in February. That's an instant humbling, isn't it? To leave the Oscars, leave the gifting suites and the Vanity Fair parties to schlep home to Brooklyn, gear up for winter and skate with Greta Gerwig and child actors, on camera. Full Story
TIFF Review: Born To Be Blue
Amanda Edwards/ Joe Scarnici/ Getty Images
More TIFF double duty. Ethan Hawke has two films at TIFF too: Maggie's Plan and Born to be Blue. Just as Boyhood was catching fire in November, Ethan was hanging out in church basements in Sudbury, Ontario channeling his inner Chet Baker. I was on set. Chet Baker's a pretty coveted role - Leo, River Phoenix (!), Ryan Reynolds (what?) and Brad Pitt are among those who have fought to play this part, or expressed an interest in it. Full Story
Yet more NOPE: Emma Watson's creepy cult movie
This is becoming a thing, apparently, trailers for movies that make me go NOPE. First it was Everest (NOPE), then it was The Martian (NOOOOPE), and now it's the trailer for Alejandro Amenabar's new thriller Regression, starring Emma Watson and Ethan Hawke. Full Story
Apparently Shakespeare has an undiscovered masterpiece
247PAPS.TV/ Splash
The first trailer for a film adaptation of Shakespeare's Cymbeline, starring Ethan Hawke and Dakota Johnson, has arrived and it claims the play is Shakespeare's "undiscovered masterpiece". Though the date of its writing is unknown, a performance of Cymbeline was noted in 1611, and in every century since then it has been reprinted, staged, adapted, and analyzed. Full Story
Angelina gets friendly
Wenn, Christopher Polk/ Kevin Mazur/ Tiffany Rose/ Joe Scarnic/ Getty Images
F-ck. Can we rage first about her bullsh-t taste in clothing? This dress is SO old. And SO ugly. And SO … It's the WORST. Because it's so obvious. So obvious that she's all about invoking the Elizabeth Taylor and Marilyn Monroe Old Hollywood vibe. You know why that worked for them? Because it was 50 years ago. Full Story
Ethan Hawke: Globes buzzkill
Jason Merritt/ Frazer Harrison/ Kevin Winter/ Getty Images
Safe to say now that Boyhood is the clear Best Picture frontrunner for the Oscars now, right? The Globes don't necessarily accurately predict Oscars. But they certainly can influence Academy members to pay more attention to the films and actors that they honour. So Ethan Hawke is most definitely going to the Oscars. Full Story
Smutty Roundup: Ethan, Britney, and Liam keeps taking
Wenn, FameFlynet, Splash
Today was Ethan Hawke's hand and footprint ceremony in Hollywood. This is considered a lot more prestigious now than getting a star on the Walk Of Fame. It seems like now you can just buy a star on the Walk Of Fame. It's been a great couple of years for Ethan. Before Midnight earned him an Oscar nomination. Full Story
Ethan's award season hair
Rocky /WENN
Oh hey look at that, it's turned into a Great Expectations day. Ethan Hawke is in London. Here he is at ITV studios earlier and then tonight he was featured at BAFTA A Life In Pictures: Ethan Hawke. This is new hair. Two weeks ago it was longer. So will this be his award season hair? You'll see a lot of him. Full Story
Dr. Strange will be played by a three-day-old breakfast burrito
Astrid Stawiarz / Monica Schipper /Jamie McCarthy /Getty Images
Yesterday Lainey asked a question—Joaquin or Ethan? Recent rumors have pitted them against each other for Marvel's latest superhero incarnation, Dr. Strange. Today we have an answer: Neither. According to Badass Digest, they're both out. Full Story

Staying in touch with him just keeps you stuck in the past, so at least in the beginning, break off all contact: Unfriend him, remove his name from Gchat, and delete him from your phone. If you have friends in common, take a temporary hiatus from them, too.
Take a trip to a place that's the total opposite of where you live. So if you're in the city, head to a yoga retreat or spend the weekend at a spa in the country; if you're in a small town, party in Austin or Miami with your bestie. Travel not in your budget right now? At least hang out in a different part of town. When you're taking in a ton of new stimulation, you won't have a chance to wallow in the past.

Instead, the people of the valley - that is, the eligible tribal member voters of the Reservation - will decide whether or not to accept NTPC's deal. Spurred on, perhaps, by tribal member Jerry Brown's petition drive, which was successful almost before the ink from the first signature dried, the Council decided that the final word on the $27 million, 30-year deal rightfully belonged to the people. The tentative date for the referendum is Saturday, July 18. Tribal officials are conferring with attorneys in Washington, D.C., on the ballot's official language. Polling places and election judges need to be selected, too. Joe McDonald, Ronan, made the motion to call for the referendum. Bear-head Swaney, Laurence Kenmille, Louie Adams and Noel Pichette voted "yes" with McDonald. Chairman Tom Pablo, Sonny Morigeau and John McClure disagreed. Vic Stinger declined to vote, and E.W. Morigeau was absent. (Pipeline coverage continues on page two.)

In this picture made available Friday, Jan. 4, 2013, AC Milan Ghana midfielder Sulley Muntari leaves the changing rooms as he walks past Pro Patria players in Busto Arsizio, near Milan, Italy, Thursday, Jan. 3, 2013. A friendly match between AC Milan and lower division club Pro Patria was abandoned Thursday after racist chants directed at Milan's black players, the latest incident of racial abuse that continues to blight the sport. After repeated chants directed his way, Ghana midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng picked up the ball and kicked it at a section of the crowd in the 26th minute of the first half. Boateng then took off his shirt and walked off the pitch with his Milan teammates. Urby Emanuelson, Sulley Muntari and M'Baye Niang were also targeted by the chants. (AP Photo/Emilio Andreoli)

Sewer Fittings & AdaptersThere are many parts in a sewage system. All of them are important for the proper functioning of your drinking and wastewater systems. Adapters, valves, pipes, and hoses should all be well maintained and properly cared for so they function as they are supposed to.
While every RV owner expects to invest in fittings, couplings, and so forth, it is the small things that make the job of dealing with sewage easier. A set of sewer weights will keep your hose on the ground where it belongs. Gloves will prevent you from unintentionally touching materials you would rather not come in contact with. Quick connectors make hooking up to any size opening simple. Take a look at all Camping World has to offer for making sewage maintenance simpler.

Salmon with Spiced Lentils
Todays recipe calls for Puy lentils (lentilles vertes du Puy), which are named after their place of origin: Le Puy in Auvergne, France.
Puy lentils offer a delicate taste and are recognized by their fine slate-green skin marbled with blue speckles. Theyre excellent in salads and vegetable dishes, and while they take a bit longer to cook compared with brown lentils, they retain their shape and firmness better.
If you cant find Puy lentils, use French green lentils, which also cook up firm.
Colorful beans and lentils are high in antioxidants, and all beans and lentils are rich in resistant starch, which stabilizes blood sugar levels for many hours after being consumed.
Broiled/Grilled Salmon with Spiced Lentils
Adapted from Williams-Sonoma Seasonal Celebration Series, Autumn, by Joanne Weir (Time-Life Books, 1997).
Serves 6
1 1/2 cups French green lentils
8 whole cloves

2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil

Yesterday, Pat Buchanan talked about how America was "built, basically, by white folks." He goes on to talk about how all the founding fathers were white and how white people fought in the wars, etc… Let's do some fact-checking.
First of all, any talk that considers 'white folks' is problematic for the simple question of: how do you define 'white'? For years, many ethnicities now commonly considered 'white' were 'othered'. Take this excerpt from "Performing Whiteness: Naturalization Litigation and the Construction of Racial Identity in America", written by John Tehranian and published in the Yale Law Journal:
In reality, however, many individuals of European descent were not readily integrated into mainstream American society. If anything, they found themselves caught on the dark side of the white/black binary. The Irish, for example, endured heavy prejudice in the United States, and, for years, they were considered the blacks of Europe. Similarly, Italians, Greeks, and Slavs suffered from low social [*826] status, and their racial status was a matter of great controversy that remained unresolved for years.
Furthermore, through an analysis of the racial-prerequisite cases after 1923, this study supports the view that race is a social construction. Categories are situational. They can alter over time. For example, the notion of white has undergone a significant transformation in the United States over the past two centuries. In the early years of the republic, white referred to those of Anglo-Saxon or Teutonic descent. Thus, the Irish and Italians were viewed as outside of the category. Over time, however, the Irish and Italians became a part of a broadened, more flexible definition of white.
However, I doubt Mr. Buchanan had this in mind. So, I'll simply assume for the purpose of this blog post, that 'white' is defined as having ancestors from Western Europe.
So then, this has been a country "built, basically, by white folks" because since 'white folks' ' first trip to the Americas, they have constituted a majority that has dominated minorities. Start with the Native Americans and move forward. The structure of society places power squarely into the hands of white people (which is not to say that there were not also poor white people — because there undoubtedly were, but Mr. Buchanan is not questioning whether white people built America, only the opposite). He then latches onto a few important American events, saying how these events featured only white people.
Yet, since these events all took place in periods in which white people still held absolute power in society, it should come as no surprise that white people were the participants in said events.
Of course "white men were 100% of the people that wrote the Constitution." Do I really need to prove to you that allowing an African American slave or a Native American to take part in the drafting of the US Constitution would have been unthinkable at the time?
Of course white men were "100% of the people who signed the Declaration of Independence." Again, would people of color even be invited to have any serious role in declaring independence from Britain? And, too, would they feel the same imperative British colonists felt to declare themselves independent from England?
Buchanan also claims that white people were "100% of the people who died in Gettysburg and Vicksburg."
He's close, but not correct. There were black soldiers who fought and were killed in both battles. In fact, in searching I even came across the picture of a memorial for black soldiers in Vicksburg —
Buchanan goes on the say that whites were "probably close to 100% of the people who died at Normandy." Well, he's right about this one. There were black soldiers at Normandy, but not too many. And why is that? Well, because "Most black soldiers never got a chance to fight." You know, segregation and all.
So, its not like minority groups didn't exist or were just too lazy to participate. Quite the opposite — they did exist and were excluded from participation.
However, let's take this discussion beyond the examples Pat points out. What were some events that helped build America and its economy? Perhaps the railroads…
And what a future. In 1830, railroads began popping up throughout the country. In December of that year, as Norfolk Southern employees will proudly tell you, America's first scheduled railway service with a locomotive began on the South Carolina Railroad, serving the port of Charleston. It's a myth that the South at that time was somehow "backward" in adopting new technology. Elsewhere–in upstate New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and soon in other states throughout the East, Midwest, and South–railroads proliferated. In 1840, some 3,000 miles of iron routes carried trains. Most rail lines weren't connected one with another. In 1850, there were 7,500 miles of track, with many interconnections. By 1860, about 30,000 miles of mostly interconnected routes formed a system.
Powerful economic incentives sparked and spread this explosive growth, in a chain reaction of national development. Economic historians have shown that, compared to roads and turnpikes, the new railroads cut overland time-in-transit for passengers and goods by two- to six-fold, while cutting cost-per-mile to shippers and travelers in real dollars by two- to four-fold. Compared to canals, the time was cut by a factor of eight to ten. As any hand-held business calculator today will reveal, such a combination of cost-and-time saving creates a dramatic leap in economic investment rates of return for manufacturers. The improved financial return rates are permanent, because the increased speed of economic flows is sustained thereafter. There had never before been this kind of economic leap in human history.
And while thousands of railroad employees went to work building the tracks and running the trains, railroad companies ordered huge and increasing amounts of rail, fuel, and construction supplies, which required thousands of other employees throughout American industry. The secondary impacts on the economy were without precedent. Whole ironworks were devoted to making rails, while trains consumed–and distributed–increasing proportions of the nation's rapidly growing energy production.
Now take this description of the men who built the railroads:
After the Central Pacific (CP) started building the Transcontinental Railroad eastward from Sacramento, demand for Chinese workers increased greatly. The CP figured they needed 5,000 workers to build the railroad, but the most they ever had just using white workers was about 800. Most of these stayed only long enough for a free trip to the end of the track and then headed for the gold fields. The CP hired all the available Chinese workers and then sent agents to Canton province, Hong Kong, and Macao.
With an average height of 4'10" and weight of 120 lbs., many doubted these men could handle 80 lb. ties and 560 lb. rail sections. But handle them they did, as well as most other construction jobs. So well in fact that by the time they joined the rails at Promontory Summit, Utah on May 10, 1869, more than 9 out of 10 CP workers, over 11,000 in all where Chinese.
Much of the work they did has become legend. Driving through California's Sierra Nevada Mountains, they were faced with solid granite outcroppings. After the CP's imported Cornish miners gave up, the Chinese with pick, shovel and black powder progressed at the rate of 8 inches a day. And this was working 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from both ends and both ways from a shaft in the middle. The winters spent in the Sierras were some of the worst on record with over 40 feet of snow. Camps and men were swept away by avalanches and those that weren't were buried in drifts. The Chinese had to dig tunnels from their huts to the work tunnels. Many didn't see daylight for months.
At Cape Horn in the Sierras, they hung suspended in baskets 2,000 ft. above the American River below them and drilled and blasted a road bed for the railroad without losing a single life (lots of fingers and hands though). After hitting the Nevada desert they averaged more than a mile a day. But working in 120 heat and breathing alkali dust took its toll. Most were bleeding constantly from the lungs.
And then, of course, there's the effect the African-American slave population had on the American economy.
African peoples were captured and transported to the Americas to work. Most European colonial economies in the Americas from the 16th through the 19th century were dependent on enslaved African labor for their survival.
According to European colonial officials, the abundant land they had "discovered" in the Americas was useless without sufficient labor to exploit it.
Each plantation economy was part of a larger national and international political economy. The cotton plantation economy, for instance, is generally seen as part of the regional economy of the American South. By the 1830s, "cotton was king" indeed in the South. It was also king in the United States, which was competing for economic leadership in the global political economy. Plantation-grown cotton was the foundation of the antebellum southern economy.
But the American financial and shipping industries were also dependent on slave-produced cotton. So was the British textile industry. Cotton was not shipped directly to Europe from the South. Rather, it was shipped to New York and then transshipped to England and other centers of cotton manufacturing in the United States and Europe.
In sum, the slavery system in the United States was a national system that touched the very core of its economic and political life.
The situation is much more complicated that Mr. Buchanan's brief comment would suggest. America wasn't simply built by one group of people. Did one particular group hold the reins during America's more formative years? Yes, but that by no means validates Mr. Buchanan's viewpoint — like I've said, it is not because white people wanted to actively build America while minorities looked on from the sideline; it is because white people were in control, they had the power. Again, please note that I am not saying all white people were rich wealthy leaders of the country, because there were poor white people as well. It is just that there were virtually no rich wealthy colored leaders.
Also, look at the numbers. White people made up the vast majority of the population. Even if you wholly ignore the essential elements of discrimination and segregation, there's also the fact that due to their status as a majority, white people would naturally have a higher percentage of participation in things like the military.
America was built by many different people, and I would think that Americans would not try to downplay that diversity.
