GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO) - Parents rely on school bus drivers to get their kids to and from school safely and on–time. But in the first few weeks of school it's a little tougher for them to do, with so many new faces.
Getting your kids to and from school is a big job for bus drivers.
"It is a task for those drivers to learn who's on their bus and who's going to ride in the morning and afternoon," says David Montoya, director of transportation for District 51.
Montoya says District 51 contracts a bus service. So every year new bus drivers need to learn hundreds of kids' names, faces and neighborhoods. With that much to know right off the bat, sometimes things are bound to go wrong.
"We'll have some kids that get off at the wrong stop," says Montoya.
Montoya says that's typical every year.
"We have had some incidents this year," says Montoya.
The problem is when bus drivers drop kids off at community stops, some kids don't know where they are.
"Nor do we know what direction they should be going to, until we know those kids," says Montoya.
And with young kids responsible for finding their way home, it's possible for one to get lost.
"We can't wait to see what direction each child goes to," says Montoya.
That's why officials say the District and parents must work together.
"The best case scenario would be to have a parent supervisor at each one of those stops, morning and afternoon, to help with that situation," says Montoya.
On top of that, parents can help in other ways. Talk with the bus driver if your child needs extra attention, put ID cards in their backpacks and fill out the bus registration forms, so bus drivers can track what bus your kid is on.
Heather Benjamin, spokesperson for the Mesa County Sheriff's Office, says parents frequently call dispatch when their kids don't come home from school. And that's exactly what the Sheriff''s Office wants them to do.
"We don't want parents to try and find them on their own. If something terrible has actually happened, their just burning up time, when we can actually be on the case trying to find the kid," says Benjamin.
As for the District, they say your child's safety is of utmost importance, but there's only so much supervising they can do.
"I would love to say that the school district could be responsible for every kid everywhere, but that's just not reality," says Montoya.
Law enforcement also wants to remind parents to speak to kids about checking in with them after school if they choose to play at a friend's house. Officials say when many kids go missing they're usually around the corner.

By U.S. Air Force Capt. Stacie N. ShafranJuly 22, 2009
PANJSHIR PROVINCE, Afghanistan - For the first time, farmers in the Dara district will be able to store their produce from the fall harvest in a temperature-controlled, underground storage facility.
The Panjshir Provincial Reconstruction Team facilitated this $45,000 project, which provides farmers with a place to store food either for personal consumption or to sell at markets.
The storage room was built underground for improved temperature control. It also has a thermal chimney vent system and a solar powered ventilation system.
Panjshir is renowned for its agriculture-based society, and food items such as potatoes, watermelon, wheat and other fruits and vegetables can be stored in this facility.
Dara resident Zubair not only maintains the facility, but is also a farmer.
"We're all very excited about what this facility can do for us," he said. "This will extend the age of our products, especially over the very cold winter."
Panjshir is still without sustainable electricity, which limits food storage options.
"From what we've learned, fresh fruits and vegetables often go to waste because there isn't a proper way to store them," explained Army Sgt. Daniel Kelley, the PRT's civil affairs liaison to the Panjshir director of agriculture, who is deployed from the 426th Civil Affairs Battalion in Upland, Calif. "Hopefully this facility will help the residents of Dara maintain a healthy food source for longer periods of time or even help them earn extra money."
Recognized for being a poppy-free province, in January the minister of counternarcotics in Kabul, through the Good Performance Initiative, awarded Panjshir's governor, Haji Bahlol and the people of Panjshir $1.4 million. The governor, in turn, committed the money toward agricultural projects which will improve the sustainability of farmers and their crops.
Keeping in line with the governor's commitment to agriculture, the PRT increased its number of agriculture-related projects. The team contributed additional funding and now has 14 current agricultural projects worth $1.6 million scheduled for Panjshir, with another eight more planned.
Projects include chicken and dairy cow production, honey production, woodlots for construction and fuel, fruit tree orchards, natural tree nurseries for reforestation, a demonstration farm to teach new techniques, an experimental farm to test potential crops, irrigation canals, brown tail moth control and eradication, and food processing.

Peace First Prize
The Peace First Prize is your chance to celebrate the powerful contributions of peacemakers. The Prize will recognize young people between the ages of 8-22 for their compassion, courage and ability to create collaborative change. Through a two-year $50,000 Peace First Fellowship we will invest in their leadership as peacemakers and share their stories with the nation. The Peace First Prize celebrates peacemakers who have taken action to address injustice in their schools, neighborhoods, and communities. Peacemaking demands compassion (understanding other people), courage (taking risks to help others) and collaborative change (engaging others) to create justice, fairness, and peace where it didn't exist before.
Five Prize winners will each receive a $50,000 Peace First Fellowship over two years to continue their peacemaking work. Through mentoring and coaching, the Peace First Fellowship is a real investment in young people's ability to take their peacemaking to the next level of action and impact. But more than just recognizing a few individuals, we want to tell the thousands of stories about how young people are changing the world.
The Peace First Fellowship
The goals are to:
- Invest in young leaders whose work and ideas demonstrate tangible youth peacemaking;
- Learn from the work of these young peacemakers to advance the field of youth peacemaking;
- Create advocates and spokespersons for the importance of teaching peace and for changing social messages to youth about peace.
Winners will each receive a $50,000, two-year Fellowship which can be used in two ways:
- Contributing to the winner's education and professional development
- Supporting the winner's ongoing peacemaking work
The Fellowship includes these experiences:
- Community: Fellows will be convened 3- 5 times during their 2-year fellowship to create a peer group of peacemaking leaders. They also serve as ambassadors for Prize events in future years;
- Professional Development: Fellows will engage in a leadership development program supported by conference calls, webinars, direct coaching, and a structured curriculum;
- Mentoring: Each Fellow will work with a national business, political, or community leader who will provide advice, connections, and mentorship through quarterly conversations.
- Collective Action: Fellows will actively engage in Peace First's mission and work. This includes public speaking, school visits, and participating in national and local peace initiatives.
Specific Eligibility Criteria
Citizens or legal residents of the United States who are between the ages of 8 and 22 years old (as of January 1, 2013) are eligible to apply for the Prize. All projects must have taken place in the United States. Family members of Peace First staff and board members are not eligible.

Determination and Passion: A Car that Fulfills the Creative Lifestyle
The Odyssey, having overcome numerous obstacles, was finally launched on October 20, 1994. At the official ceremony, Odagaki described the vehicle's development background. When he came to the passage, "...it was because the team members...," he could no longer hold back his tears.
The Odyssey's line-off ceremony held on October 3, 1994, at Saitama Factory's Sayama Plant, was attended by representatives from business partners and dealers, along with numerous associates. There was an atmosphere of celebration surrounding the launch of Honda's new minivan.
The Odyssey became the first Honda model in Company history to be released simultaneously through all three distribution channels (Primo, Clio, Verno). Because it was a utility vehicle - albeit one in a completely new category - the company decided to market the Odyssey through different channels under the same name to drive market penetration.
Contrary to the company's initial assessment, the Odyssey was met with an enthusiastic reception among journalists and customers. In fact, the car received two of the most coveted industry awards in its first year, the Japan Car of the Year Award (Special Category) and the RJC New Car of the Year Award. By the end of September 1997, 36 months after its release, the Odyssey had sold more than 300,000 units, breaking the Civic's record to become Honda's fastest-selling new car.
"When we first started developing the Odyssey," Sekine recalled, "there was criticism that we could only copy models from other manufacturers. But I believe the market accepted our development concept, which was essentially based on the user's point of view. So, this project showed us how important it was to approach every design from the customer's perspective."
The Odyssey's initial production volume was 341 units per day, but soon after its launch, sales had not picked up, and the line's rate of output was still low. Therefore, Sekine postponed further investment in improvements, promising that the company would spend the money when it was warranted by market conditions and the required volume. He also proposed a cut in the production line's capacity from 1,100 units down to 1,050 per day.
Eventually, sales began to grow, resulting in several production-volume increases. As promised, Sekine implemented the investment for improvements. However, the factory's young employees were the motivating force behind such expenditures, in that they identified each area of improvement and tackled problems based on the Honda's principle of "focusing on real-world, on-site operations while facing up to the challenges inherent in reaching their goal." Their effort brought about a dramatic increase in production volume, yet with maximized use of a relatively minimal investment.
"When we reviewed the process of increasing production volume," Sekine said, "we found many areas in need of improvement. These problems were solved by the employees themselves. The process of voluntary reform, in which the improvement of each process was left to those in charge of the process, caused each and every employee to cultivate a critical mind and share in that sense of achievement."

- These people concerned themselves primarily with defending their standpoint and attempting to refute what they saw as the absurd claims and practices of both ritualists and non-materialists alike.
- Example sentences
- Perhaps he misjudged his audience, who had just sat through complete darkness and ritualistically lit candles fairly enthusiastically.
- Are the leaders of the past ritualistically remembered just during anniversaries, only to be forgotten for the rest of the year?
- The stage is ritualistically transformed by the presence of a shrine and offerings to the gods on one corner of the stage, and by the performance of the opening item, usually referred to in programs as 'an invocatory item'.

Glaze Glorious Glaze, Part One
January 27, 2012
UPDATE, February 13, 2014
If you've come over here from Sweet Sugarbelle's icing post I want to give you a heads up! In recent weeks after endless experimenting, tweaking of ingredients and quantities and comparing notes with some of my cookie friends I've landed on a completely revised icing recipe that combines (literally) both glaze and royal icing into what for me is the perfect icing! It has the soft bite, sweet taste, and shiny finish of glaze and the dimensional lift, stability and quick dry of royal icing. If I was fanatical about my glaze, and you know I was, I'm a certifiable lunatic over my royal glaze. Unfortunately, as SweetSugarbelle's post went to press, I happened to be out of town and unable to prepare the photos I wanted to show you of a side by side comparison of glaze, royal icing, and royal glaze. I'll get to work on it as soon as I return home so keep a watch out toward the middle of next week for a new post here on my new and improved ROYAL GLAZE.
I've noticed that every time I post a photo of containers of my cookie icing on Facebook I get a number of comments from people curious about what I use, how I make it and how it works. So today's the day I put this baby to rest and give you the all the news that's fit to print on corn syrup glaze.
For those brand new to cookie decorating there are four primary ways to cover a cookie; royal icing, buttercream, fondant, and corn syrup glaze. That list doesn't include covering it with the roof of your mouth since that usually takes place after it's been covered by one of the aforementioned toppings.
Royal icing seems to be the most used icing among the cookie decorators I know and Callye over at Sweet Sugarbelle has an excellent tutorial on making royal icing. If you want to know what you can do with royal icing, are willing to practice, and have a bucket load of dormant talent hidden somewhere deep within you, look over her cookies while you're checking out her tutorial.
I've only used royal icing a couple times and personally, it's not my thang. I can't tolerate the taste of royal icing and I can always taste that unpleasant back note of wall spackle flavor behind whatever extract flavorings is added. Not that I actually ever eaten wall spackle but when I imagine how it tastes royal icing comes to mind. With all due respect to every royal icing cookie decorator I love and adore, I have no doubt that your royal icing is the exception; that it tastes like a creamy rich blanket of sweet deliciousness but I all I have to say about everyone else's royal icing can be summed up in two words with a hyphen. . .icky-poo. The other problem I had with royal icing is that it's temperamental, meaning it doesn't like me. No matter what variation of it I tried it never came out right. I ended up with multiple clogs in my piping tips, outlines that cracked and fell off the cookie, and bumpy flooded areas. Royal icing was a royal pain. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
But on the upside, the highlight and major selling point for royal icing is that it gives a dimension and detail that can't be had with corn syrup glaze. One of the only times I used royal icing that fell anything within the ballpark of success was in making these knitting cookies. With royal icing I was able to lay wet lines of icing over one another without having them run together as they would with glaze. An equal version of the same cookies would be possible with glaze but not without requiring multiple drying times which involves more patience than I've ever had in my entire life collectively.
Buttercream icing is a huge mystery to me so I won't poo-poo or praise it but instead you might want to read this buttercream recipe and glowing report on it's wonderful powers on an adorable set of Valentines cookies over at TidyMom. You might also want to check out this blog post at The Other Side of 50 on buttercream-iced cookies.
Fondant is a word I use broadly. There's the traditional rolled fondant that can be applied on cookies as it has been on umpteen million wedding cakes. Here's a basic tutorial on covering a cookie with rolled fondant over at Cake Journal. Again, there's a flavor factor with fondant. Just call it the sugar silly putty of the baking world. I'm pretty sure I offended a few fondant decorators out there with that little phrase but let's move on, shall we? Marshmallow fondant is a little messy and time-consuming to make but it rolls out well, can be stored airtight for a couple months (soften for seconds in your microwave) and if Marshmallow Fluff is a tasty delicacy to you then you're going to want a ticket for this ride.
Within the same category of a rolled or modeling clay like covering for cookies is chocolate candy clay which I use frequently and enthusiastically and will save for another post but since I'm all about building suspense and intrigue here are a couple photos to whet your candy clay appetite.
The chocolate candy clay roses and leaves were placed on top of a corn syrup glazed cookie, and in a reverse method….
Corn syrup glaze peace signs were drawn onto a chocolate candy clay background.
Groovy chick!
But enough about all of that! Let's move on to why we're all here…..corn syrup glaze!
The Downside of Corn Syrup Glaze
- Intricate detailing and fine point writing is near to impossible.
- Dimension and detailing requires added decorating time to allow glaze to set between layers, sections, and colors.
- Glaze takes 18-24 hours to dry completely and even when it's completely dry there's a tendency for it to leave a little moisture smudge on any surface of the bag you put it in that it has contact with.
The Upside of Corn Syrup Glaze
- Unlike royal icing, glaze doesn't have a flavor of its own that needs to be covered up, allowing whatever flavoring you add to it to shine.
- Glaze is simple and quick to make. Add a couple common ingredients together and mix until smooth. Easy-peasy, mix and squeezy!
- Glaze can be stored up to several months. As you'll see below, I make multiple batches at a time and then refrigerate or freeze the glaze depending on the time until I plan to use it. Leftover glaze can be re-frozen over and over again without any noticeable change to the taste, texture, or color.
- Glaze keeps the cookie moist. Again, only my experience so tell me if I'm wrong (just do it gently) but I think the added amount of corn syrup in glaze over what royal icing has, retains the moisture of the cookie.
- Glaze has a glossy finish. When completely dry glaze holds a shine while royal icing has a matte finish.
- Glaze is a people pleaser. I've heard nothing but glowing comments from people who've eaten Sweet Hope Cookies. More than a few times someone has mentioned how they've eaten other decorated cookies that have a funky taste in the icing (me thinks royal icing) and so they were surprised at how delicious my icing tastes.
I can't talk about corn syrup glaze without first giving credit where credit is due and the one who gets the credit is Pam, over at CookieCrazie. The recipe I use is the one Pam has on her blog and the techniques I use I learned from her. From what I've seen at Pam's blog and what I've come to experience through my own cookie adventures I've come to believe that what you can do with glaze is limited only by your creativity and willingness to practice, fail, learn, practice, fail, learn, practice, succeed, and squeal with joy!
Where I'm sure there are a number of variations of corn syrup glaze out there, I've never found a reason to try one other than Pam's recipe.
Pam's Corn Syrup Glaze
- 1 pound box of powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- a scant 1/4 cup water (scant means "just less than")
- 2 teaspoons more or less of extract, flavoring, or emulsion depending on the flavor and your preference. I use half vanilla extract and half almond extract. Pam prefers clear vanilla extract but I haven't found the color of pure vanilla extract to be a problem.
- Coloring gel. I primarily use Americolor.
- Pour the powdered sugar into your standing mixer bowl. Don't bother to sift the sugar. If you don't have a standing mixer use a big bowl and electric hand mixer. If you don't have an electric hand mixer use a heavy wooden spoon and those lean muscled arms of yours.
- Add corn syrup, flavorings, and water.
- Using the beater blade attachment (not the whisk) mix the ingredients until smooth. Add additional water a half to one teaspoon at a time until the glaze has reached the consistency you want.
- The consistency of icing is often described as being a specific second count, meaning the number of seconds it takes from the time you run a knife through the top of the icing until the trail the knife made on the surface disappears. Because the color gel remains to be added which will thin the icing to varying degrees depending on how much color you add, I typically aim for a 15-18 second count as I would rather add a little more water to thin than add additional powdered sugar to thicken after the gel has been added.
- Before dividing and coloring the icing I mix a couple drops of white gel into the entire batch. Just a little white gel rounds out any other color you'll add later.
- Now divide the icing into as many containers as you need colors and cover with air tight lids.
- Color one container of icing at a time, adding the coloring gel drop by drop. Keep in mind that the colors will darken slightly over the next 24 hours and when they dry on the cookies.
- When you have the desired color, check your second count again. I go for a 15-18 count for writing and detailing and 10-12 for outlining and flooding.
- You can use the glaze right away but I suggest waiting for at least an hour, allowing time for some of the air bubbles to come to the surface which can then be gently stirred down before pouring into piping bags or bottles. This waiting time will reduce the among of bubbles that show up when flooding the cookies. I normally make my icing 1-2 days before using it which allows it not only to rest but allows me to rest along with it. I prefer beginning a decorating day with all the icing made and ready to go since making the glaze, coloring it, and filling the bottles can take much of the morning.
Storing Corn Syrup Glaze
- I leave the tightly sealed icing containers or icing bottles at room temperature for up to three days when decorating.
- I refrigerate left over icing up to a week.
- Corn syrup glaze freezes beautifully! I've never had a negative consequence of freezing and using and re-using glaze multiple times and as shown in the series of photos below I make huge batches at a time and freeze it uncolored. When I need to mix up some colored glaze for a new batch of cookies I just remove as much as I need from the freezer and set it on the kitchen counter overnight. The next morning I color it, add more water as needed (freezing causes some evaporation of the water), allow it to rest for an hour (or until the next day) and then I'm good to go.
- Don't throw out any leftover icing. Combine any little amounts of colored icing you have remaining into one container and then stack it away in the freezer to serve as a starter for your next batch of black icing.
- Always stir glaze before decorating to prevent any color separation that might have happened and check to be sure the glaze is the right consistency as time allows for evaporation of water, whether on the counter, fridge or freezer.
A Typical Glaze Day at Sweet Hope Cookies
I typically make up 12-20 quarts of glaze at a time. Those are 4-pound bags of powdered sugar. I mix two bags at a time, something I can only do since getting my Randy Red standing mixer.
To keep my working area clean I put the bowl into the kitchen sink when adding the ingredients to prevent powdered sugar dust and corn syrup goo from getting everywhere. This is what 8 pounds of powdered sugar looks like in a 7 quart bowl. I know what you're thinking but stay with me on this one, because before the mixer ever sees this mountain, I carefully pour in the corn syrup, flavoring, and water and hand stir just until the powdered sugar begins dissolving. Doing this not only compacts the powdered sugar so the mixer has room to do its magic but it's been saturated with moisture that will prevent it from flying everywhere once the blade begins spinning.
Free Tip! Every Kitchen Aid comes with one of these fancy clear splash guards.
I don't like it. It's awkward to use, and both the large spout area and a large opening in the back allow ingredients to escape.
What I did was buy one of the plastic lids made for the Kitchen Aid standing mixer bowl. I cut away the center of the lid, leaving an opening just large enough for the blade to comfortably spin in, and then I cut a slit from the outside edge to the opening which allows me to slip the cover on and off when the bowl and blade are in place. And in case you don't already know, a large plastic disposable dinner plate will do the same thing but I like the bowl lid since it snaps in place and I don't have to hold it on. It's also re-useable and I'm already using too much disposable plastic…as you will see in a mere moment.
And here is that moment…
1/2 pint, pint, and a quart disposable deli food containers from Smart N Final. With lids. Not pictured. Use your imagination. I use these little puppies for everything. I keep my #0-1.5 piping tips in the small one, #2 piping tips in the medium one, and #3-6 piping tips in the large one. I then snap a lid on the small one only before slipping the small one into the medium one and the medium one into the large one, so that I have all my tips separated, sealed and stacked. It's organizational awesomeness.
But I steered away from what we were talking about, didn't I? And what was that? Oh. Corn syrup glaze. How quickly my mind wanders.
So with the glaze mixed to a smooth consistency and hovering somewhere between a 15-18 count, I divide the icing into manageable portions. And once again, to reduce the mess and to save my anemic biceps from holding up the weight of eight pounds of glaze, I put my containers into the sink, rest the bowl on the counter and pour.
And then I start the process all over again. And again. And again.
And then it's time for my quick and easy clean up. Rinse the glazed glaze kitchen ware in the sink and toss in the dishwasher.
Put the gorgeous, shiny, beautiful, amply sized Randy Red standing mixer in the sink and hit it with the water sprayer and a sponge.
And finally, lug the 12-20 quarts of corn syrup glaze out to the garage freezer where it will share the space with a few bags of rolled cookie dough and a bottle of chilled lemoncello. Be sure to be careful when carrying the containers of glaze out to the garage because if one happens to slip out of your arms and spill open onto the floor you'll end up increasing your clean up time beyond the limits of your wildest imagination. And yes, it happened to me and no, I don't want to talk about it.
There you go. That's what it is and that's how you make it. Maybe next time we can talk about how to use it since I'm pretty sure you could figure out the how to eat part on your own.

Tectura virginea
Tectura virginea is a species of sea snail, a true limpet, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family Lottiidae, one of the families of true limpets.[2] It is commonly known as the white tortoiseshell limpet.[3]
Description[edit source | edit]
T. virginea is rather smaller than Testudinalia testudinalis, the tortoiseshell limpet, growing to 15mm in length with a height of 6mm. The shell is white with purplish bands radiating from the apex.[3] which is tilted forward and about a third of the way along the shell. The flesh is creamy coloured or pale pink. The broad foot is oval and the head bears a pair of long tentacles with tiny black eyes located near their base.[4]
Distribution and habitat[edit source | edit]
The white tortoiseshell limpet is found on the north west coasts of Europe from Norway south to the Mediterranean Sea including the North Sea. It lives in the neritic zone below low water mark down to a depth of about one hundred metres. It favours rock pools and smooth rock covered with encrusting red algae such as Lithothamnion on which it feeds.[3]

+ Olbermann/HuffPo kick Lieberman on way out: 'Good Riddance' to 'Delusional Liar', 'don't become SecDef'

Lib radio talker attacks GOP Lt. Gov. of WI: She "performed fellatio on all the talk show hosts in Milwaukee" and "pulled a train"
By Michelle Malkin • January 20, 2011 12:10 PM
This is Rebecca Kleefisch, the Republican Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin:
This is John "Sly" Slyvester, liberal radio host at WDTY in Madison WI:
Lt. Gov. Kleefisch is a wife, mother of two, cancer survivor, journalist, and free-market advocate who is trying to persuade businesses to come to Wisconsin through cold phone calls.
This is what John "Sly" Slyvester said in an on-rant about Lt. Gov. Kleefisch's personal and political life (transcript via Freedom Eden):
"SLY" SYLVESTER: How amateurish is it to have Rebecca Kleefisch, who, I don't know, she has some like little panty business in her basement or something, I don't know. She's hardly a, she's hardly an entrepreneur. You know what? You know how amateurish that is? Cold-calling?
(Mocking Kleefisch in high-pitched, slurred voice)
'Would you like to move to Wisconsin? Would you like to move CouponCabin to Wisconsin? I'm Rebecca Kleefisch. I perform fellatio on all the talk show hosts in Milwaukee. And they endorse me and that's how I became lieutenant governor. And then I got colon cancer and I ran around the state to help people. Even though I have government health care, screw everyone else.'
…I had heard at one point Rebecca Kleefisch pulled a train, but that must have been a different story I was reading about.
"Pulled a train" is vulgar slang for group gang rape.
The MSM coverage of this filth-monger dances around his exact sexual slurs — they refer to "explicit" slurs without explicitly informing you — which is why I spelled them out for you.
This is nothing new, of course.
I've written about the Left's whore fixation with conservative women for years.
Liberal talkers' anti-GOP misogyny is a incurable pathology that long predated Palin Derangement Syndrome. You'll remember it has its own section in my illustrated primer on the progressive climate of hate:
Flashback — The Playboy hatef**k list (screencapped in full here – NSFW)
Flashback — Sex, Violence and Hate: the Top 10 Most Disgusting Attacks on Conservative Women
Flashback — Montel Williams to GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann:
WILLIAMS (1:30:32): Michele, slit your wrist.
Go ahead… or, do us all a better thing [sic].
Move that knife up about two feet.
Start right at the collarbone.
Flashback — The four stages of conservative female abuse
Flashback — The Ladies of the Spew "bitch" and moan
Flashback — Laura Bush hatred at the SFChronicle
Flashback — Another day, another hate wish
Flashback — "The bitch is dead meat."
No one on the Left thinks twice when vulgarian lib journalists like Matt Taibbi write things like this:
I have to say, I'm really enjoying this whole teabag thing. It's really inspiring some excellent daydreaming. For one thing, it's brought together the words teabag and Michelle Malkin for me in a very powerful, thrilling sort of way. Not that I haven't ever put those two concepts together before, but this is the first time it's happened while in the process of reading her actual columns.
Previously Michelle Malkin's writing was on the edge of unreadable; she's sort of like Ann Coulter, only without that tiny fraction of P.T. Barnum/Mick Jagger-esque self-promotional flair that makes Coulter at least vaguely interesting. When you read Ann Coulter, you know you're reading someone who would fuck a hippopotamus if she thought it would boost her Q rating. That's a rare quality and it commands one's attention.
Michelle Malkin doesn't have that. She's just a mean little dunce who's wedged herself into a nicely paying career as a GOP spokesclown, and she's going to ride that gig for as long as it keeps gas in her minivan.
And that's fine, good for her. But that doesn't make her readable. However, this move of hers to spearhead the teabag movement really adds an element to her writing that wasn't there before. Now when I read her stuff, I imagine her narrating her text, book-on-tape style, with a big, hairy set of balls in her mouth. It vastly improves her prose.
Or when left-wing hit men like Alex Pareene write things like this:
Google it if you don't understand what he's referring to — I had to.
Trash-talker Sylvester has now offered a non-apology apology for his hate-mongering against Lt. Gov. Kleefisch.
But don't count on the Democrat Civility Patrol in Washington to inveigh against such left-wing incendiary rhetoric (see Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer for more). Instead, they'll attack their targets for, you know, having a "persecution complex." Liberal smear brushes are always double-ended.
Flashback: Sylvester calls Condoleezza Rice "Aunt Jemima" and "black trophy."
On Wednesday's Countdown show, as he plugged a segment on former Democratic-turned independent Connecticut Senator Joe Lieberman's retirement, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann referred to Lieberman as a "delusional liar," and suggested that he had experienced a "departure from reality" for describing himself as a "moderate Democrat" after endorsing John McCain over Barack Obama for President. At the top of the show, the MSNBC host teased: "The end of the line for Joe Lieberman, self-described 'moderate Democrat.' Don't let the delusional liar door hit you in the delusional liar butt on the delusional liar way out."
In another plug, Olbermann accused the Connecticut Senator of "lying even on the way out the door." And, after a segment with Minnesota Democratic Representative Keith Ellison in which the two discussed the Congressman's experiences with death threats and hostile messages to his office, Olbermann almost seemed to lament that Lieberman had not gotten more grief even as he contended that public figures should be "untouched," and ended up declaring "good riddance" to Lieberman. Olbermann:
And then there are those politicians who sail through their public lives untouched, which is fortunate, which is the way it should be, unless what they are untouched by is reality. Tonight, goodbye, Joe Lieberman, and good riddance.
Below is a transcript of the plugs that preceded the segment on Senator Lieberman from the Wednesday, January 19, Countdown show on MSNBC:
KEITH OLBERMANN, IN OPENING TEASER: The end of the line for Joe Lieberman, self-described "moderate Democrat." Don't let the delusional liar door hit you in the delusional liar butt on the delusional liar way out.
SENATOR JOE LIEBERMAN (I-CT): So maybe that means that JFK wouldn't fit neatly into any of today's partisan political boxes either.
OLBERMANN: Senator, I know of Jack Kennedy, and you're no Jack Kennedy.
OLBERMANN, DURING COMMERCIAL BREAK AT 8:17 P.M.: Lying even on the way out the door. He was a moderate Democrat, and today he says JFK might be a Republican.
OLBERMANN: And then there are those politicians who sail through their public lives untouched, which is fortunate, which is the way it should be, unless what they are untouched by is reality. Tonight, goodbye, Joe Lieberman, and good riddance.
OLBERMANN, AFTER COMMERCIAL BREAK AT 8:30 P.M.: Joe Lieberman announces he will not run again, reveals he's been living in a dream world of his own in which a Senator who endorsed the Republican presidential nominee is, quote, "a moderate Democrat."
OLBERMANN, BEFORE COMMERCIAL BREAK AT 8:33 P.M.: The departure of Senator Joe Lieberman following by a couple of years his departure from reality. Dave Weigel next.
Arianna To Lieberman: 'For Sake Of Country, I Hope You Don't Become Secretary Of Defense'
By Mark Finkelstein | January 20, 2011 | 08:00
Just when Joe-mentum was building for Lieberman-Huffington '12!
Say this for Arianna Huffington: she didn't stab Joe Lieberman in the back. On Morning Joe today, the HuffPo founder went for the full frontal assault, telling the outgoing senator to his face "I sincerely hope for the sake of the country that you do not become Secretary of Defense."
Lieberman was not defenseless, at one point condescendingly spelling out for Arianna's sake the name of the author of a report he relied on to conclude Saddam was developing WMD. When Arianna huffed that the report proved nothing, Lieberman sniped "I don't think you've read it, sweetheart."
View video of the dust-up after the jump.
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON: It was stunning to hear you say that there was evidence that Saddam Hussein was working on weapons of mass destruction, given that even Pres. Bush himself has now accepted that there had been no evidence. So on what basis are you saying that?
JOE LIEBERMAN: I'm basing it on the so-called Duelfer Report. Charles D-U-E-L-F-E-R conducted the most comprehensive report on behalf of our government. And it was, nobody thought it was partisan. I want to be very clear: he didn't find big caches of weapons of mass destruction. But he found, and proved I think, that Saddam had every intention, and particularly to develop nuclear weapons, was developing chemical and biological and weapons . . .
HUFFINGTON: Based on this completely unfounded assumptions, I sincerely hope for the sake of the country that you do not become Secretary of Defense.
LIEBERMAN: Now Arianna, these are not unfounded. Go read the Duelfer Report.
HUFFINGTON: There is nothing in the report that proves anything you have said.
LIEBERMAN: I don't think you've read it, sweetheart.

Harry Reid Calls Hu Jintao A 'Dictator'
From the Politico:
Reid calls Chinese leader 'dictator'
By: Scott Wong [sic]
January 19, 2011
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) labeled Chinese President Hu Jintao a "dictator," just as President Barack Obama prepares to host the Chinese leader on Wednesday at a state dinner aimed at soothing tensions between the two world powers.
Reid's off-the-cuff comments came Tuesday night during a televised interview with Las Vegas journalist Jon Ralston, who asked the majority leader whether the bipartisan tax compromise Obama struck with Republican leaders last year was a good deal for the country.
"I am going to go back to Washington and meet with the President of China. He is a dictator. He can do a lot of things through the form of government they have. Maybe I shouldn't have said dictator, but they have a different type of government then we have, and that is an understatement," Reid said in the interview.
"So we have to work in the system we have, the best system ever devised to rule the affairs of men and women," Reid continued. "And one of the few ways we get things done, in fact the most important way we get things done, is through compromise. It's not a bad word, and that is how we get things done." …
Leave it to Harry Reid to screw up even speaking the plain truth.

I thought people were hyping him up so much bc the dude could make plays by his arm and just not by his legs. Seeing him for the first time, he's a running QB in a read option system. He's not gonna be able to run like that in the NFL. He's a polished out The Golden Calf of Bristol. I like the former A&M Tannehill much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other day I sat down to relieve some stress by playing Rome: Total War on my Windows Vista Home Premium machine, and I go this error message. After a bit of experimentation I found the cause.
Apparently, if you don't have anything plugged into your sound card's audio-out jack, Vista disables the sound device in order to save on system resources. It's not an entirely bad idea, to be honest. But if you try to run Rome, the game concludes that there's no sound device present, and closes down in short order.
So if you're using a Vista machine and you get this error message, one of two things is happening:
1.) You don't have your headphones or speakers plugged into the audio-out jack.
2.) Your sound card is either disabled or damaged.
The first one is easy to fix. The second one, less so.
Those of you who have been playing computer games long enough probably remember Sierra's Quest for Glory series. Quest for Glory was a hybrid RPG/adventure game, and Shadows of Darkness was the best game of the series. It had it all: adventure, combat, magic, Lovecraftian horror, gloomy Gothic shadows, fearsome and sympathetic villains, and the series' trademark humor. Unfortunately, the game was written for DOS, way back in 1993. Fortunately, the excellent DOSBox emulator provides a way to play the game on a modern Vista system with a bit of work. Here's how to do it:
1.) Download and install DOSBox.
(Note that if you're running Vista, you will want to set DOSBox to run as an administrator.)
2.) Next, create a directory to serve as a virtual C drive during your DOSBox session. I usually just create a directory named 'dos' and stick it in the root folder of my hard drive. You can stash the folder in your user profile, of course, but typing C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Desktop\Dos every time you want to play Quest for Glory IV gets old real fast.
3.) Put your Quest for Glory IV CD-ROM in your drive, and start DOSBox.
4.) Use the following command to mount your dos directory (assuming you followed the example above) as your hard drive:
mount c c:\dos
5.) Mount your computer's CD/DVD drive in DOSBox with this command:
mount d D:\ -t cdrom
Obviously, if your CD/DVD drive has a different letter than D:\, you'll need to change it (mount d E:\ -t cdrom, for instance). It's possible to use an ISO image in lieu of the actual cdrom, but I've had the best luck with the actual disc.
6.) To install Quest for Glory IV, first change to the D drive:
And then type:
This will bring you to the installation program.
7.) Follow the prompts to install Quest for Glory IV. The default options for sound and hardware should work correctly, but if you have problems after installation you'll need to change them later.
8.) When the game asks if you want the full installation, select the full installation. This will speed the game up quite a bit, and since the full installation only takes 20 megabytes (a lot of space in 1993, but not in 2009), there's no reason not to.
9.) Once the installation is finished, use this command to change to the C:\sierra directory:
cd c:\sierra
10.) Use this command to launch Quest for Glory IV:
Enjoy the game!

I think that even more than the photographs - from OneLove Photography, which are absurdly delicious - I fell in love with this wedding because of what the bride wrote. "Our ceremony was very heartfelt, you could feel the happiness, tears, the smiles all over the church." EXACTLY what a wedding should feel like...and beautiful to boot.
"Simply Elegant Catering"
Think of this gorgeous Chicago wedding as our Monday morning gift to you. It's Old World romance meets traditional pretty in a breathtaking backdrop known as the Chicago Cultural Center and it's pretty much the perfect way to jump start a work week. Think one seriously darling duo and a gallery of amazing captured by ...
We might have just stumbled across a new type of wedding and I'm in love. The beautiful bride who takes center stage, with her handsome groom of course, wanted a "Modern Vintage" feel to her wedding. Cue classic colors and styles, with a modern edge - traditional black bridesmaid dresses, matched with coral bouquets, a gorgeous lace gown, paired brilliantly with a fun floral hair fascinator, silver teapots, center of each table, holding those modern bridesmaid bouquets.

Signals Ahead: Cellular and Wi-Fi Network Integration
During the last couple of years, mobile operators have outright embraced Wi-Fi, considering it a key access technology under their umbrella of access networks. The challenge remains solving many of the network-related issues which currently diminish the potential effectiveness of Wi-Fi and which degrade the user experience.
Work in the various standards bodies has helped in this regard, and some of their efforts will soon materialize in commercial networks. HotSpot 2.0, for example, supports more advanced authentication schemes and it enables the automatic discovery of Wi-Fi Networks. However, HotSpot 2.0 is better suited for pure-play Wi-Fi operators than it is for cellular operators who want to offer an integrated Wi- Fi offering.
Starting with Release 6, the 3GPP supported the concept of I-WLAN, which introduced new network elements specifically designed to provide closer integration of the two networks. Although the commercialization of I-WLAN hasn't really taken off - in part due to some important limitations, it did set the stage for the tighter integration of Wi-Fi in the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network that comes with LTE.
This effort also set the stage for additional work in Release 10 and subsequent releases to allow operators to make better use of Wi-Fi and to provide an even more compelling [and entirely seamless] user experience when roaming between 3GPP and Wi-Fi networks. Important features as well as a more advanced policy control architecture with ANDSF will allow operators to leverage the most appropriate network(s) for a given set of policies.

Dear Patients, colleagues, friends:
I am updating the website. I miss my practice and patients. I am working part time at a few local clinics and still seeing some of you at Dr. Bardowell's office , and some new patients as well. I was planning a move to Arizona, but the family did not want to make a move. Still considering options and fighting the prolife battle. This election year is challenging those of us standing for conscience protection. It really is a serious battle and could mean our religious freedom as a nation.
I hope you are all doing well. I am continuing to discern and prepare for missionary work. I am currently seeing patients as contractor part time for Dr. Bardowell . You can come and visit if you'd like.
I also see patients occasionally at the Dream Center in la.
To assure continued care of all my patients, I have transferred practice and medical information
I have contracted with Diversified Medical Records Services (DMRS) to manage the custodianship of your medical information. Click here and follow the instructions to obtain your records.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me via message with Dr. Bardowell's office or via the personal forwarding address below.
You can also email me. Please send me your email and I can keep you updated
you can try the link below. if you have trouble email directly at
Again, It has been an honor to serve you,until we meet again
May God bless you and keep you (nm 6- 24)
with love, your physician and friend

Burlington Bees to host Western Illinois Area Night July 26
July 22, 2014
EDITOR'S NOTE: The July 26 event at the stadium is hosted by the Bees and is designed as a night at the ballpark for residents of the west central Illinois region. The Aug. 13 event is sponsored by the WIU Alumni Association. See http://www.wiu.edu/news/newsrelease.php?release_id=11755 for more information on WIU Night at the park.
Burlington, IA — The Burlington Bees baseball will host a western Illinois community night at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26. The Bees face the Lansing Lugnuts at Community Field in Burlington; gates open at 5:30 p.m.
Residents from Macomb and surrounding communities, with valid identification, can purchase general admission-seating tickets for $3 each, $3 off the regular general admission-seating ticket price. According to Director of Community Relations Nick Waterman—who graduated with his master's degree in sport management (2014) and his bachelor's degree in management (2012) from Western—part-time residents of Macomb will also be able to receive the $3 ticket price. He said the Bees are making it possible for WIU students living in Macomb and surrounding communities for the summer to present their respective school IDs, and they will also be able to attend the game for the $3 general admission price per ticket.
"We understand there are many students from Western Illinois University that may not have IDs that say they are from a Western Illinois community, but who are living in those communities for the summer," Waterman said. "We would love to see as many WIU students come out to the game as possible."
Waterman said, after the game, attendees are welcome to run the bases, and fireworks will follow the game.
For more information, contact Waterman at (319) 754-5705 or email@example.com.

The Spectacular Now
by Tim Tharp
The Spectacular Now Dreams, Hopes, and Plans Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
I'm not one of these kids who's had their college plans set in stone since they were about five. (1.2)
Um, okay. And that makes Sutter pretty normal. The difference is that, by senior year, most people at least have an idea.
Quote #2
Her parents seem to like me better in a tie. I guess it fools them into thinking I'm going somewhere with my life. (10.19)
Well, sure. Ties are sexxxy! Uh, except that's probably not why Cassidy's parents like him better in one. Probably, like most parents, they want their kid to be friends with people whose plans extend past the end of high school.

I would like to make a dropdown menu that has different choices depending on what have been selected in a previous dropdown menu.
For example, if I have 2 dropdown menus and I call one of them Menu1 and the other Menu2
Menu1 has 3 items: "Pizza", "Hamburger" and "Sushi"
Menu2 has 8 items: "Calzone", "Hawaii", "Capricciosa" "Big Mac", "Whopper Pepper",
"Big Sushi Plate", "Rice with salmon"
If I select Pizza from Menu1 I will only get to choose between Calzone, Hawaii and Capricciosa from the Menu2 dropdown list.
If I chose Hamburger from Menu1 I will only get to choose betwen Big Mac and Whopper Pepper at the second dropdown menu(menu2).
So in other words. The values in menu2 changes depending on what have been selected at menu1.

You know what, there isn't enough constructive criticism out there.
I'm not part of the "fluffy bunny candy coating" brigade. If you're going to be negative, don't be an idiot.
If you see something wrong, say what you think is wrong then offer a possible solution.
We're not in the playground, we're in business, if something is wrong then offer a solution to the problem, not childish barbs at either the business you choose to be part of, or personal attacks on those that call you out.
See I called you an idiot, that's not constructive is it, get my point?
So if you're going to be negative, at least offer a solution.
Be part of the solution, not the problem.
All the best

Greece has a plethora of beaches for everyone's fancy. For a freedom lover, however, an ordinary will just not do, and for those of you who love nude beaches Greece is the right place. If you see map of Greece you will find that these nude beaches densely occupy a larger part of Greece. Some of them are world renowned, whilst others are ideally for the ones who like the quietness of nature, privacy and isolation. Some of the best nude beaches in Greece are:
1. Red Beach, Santorini
This beach is located at Santorini in the area that is known as Akrotiri. The beauty of this beach lies in the color of the hills surrounding it. The hills are volcanic and thus shaded with the beautiful red color of volcanic lava. The contrast of red color of the hills and the blue of the ocean makes it a breathtaking sight. You can get to the beach either by boat or by walking. You can take the boat from Perissa or can walk from Akrotiri. A must visit for nudists.
2. Red Beach, Crete
You might call this the sister beach of the one at Santorini. This is one of the most popular nudists' destinations in Greece. To reach this beach, requires a hike for about half an hour from the nearby place called Matala, but the beach is completely worth this hike. On the northern part of the beach, you will find rocks that are carved in the Egyptian style, and this is where you will find the nudists too. Remember that there are not many shops here, so it is better to carry water and food with you.
3. Marmara Beach, Crete
Crete is well known for its beautiful beaches and for being friendly to nudists. Marmara is little debatable at this point. There is a clear sign that requests people to be clothed, but the beauty of the place has always lured nudists here. The beach is filled with smooth, marble rocks that make this place a castle-like beauty. You can reach this beach on foot by walking through Aradena Gorge.
4. Glyka Nera, Crete
This beach is also called the Sweetwater beach and this is a popular nudists' beach. This beach is extremely beautiful and gives an air of seclusion. The beach has a natural cold water spring and thus you will not find many shops around. Also, this beach can be reached only by long walks.
5. Paradise Beach, Mykonos
If you are one for mingling with the crowd and thriving and jiving with a number of people then this is the best beach for you. This beach is by far one of the most crowded nudists' beaches in Greece. It is known as the most happening place for partying. There is a campground where one can stay for long. This place is extremely popular with everyone. The Mykonos public transportation can take you to this beach.
6. Banana Beach, Skiathos
Not only is the Banana Beach meant for nudists, it is also the place to go for windsurfing. There is also the smaller Spartacus Beach for the nudists. This beach is also frequented by gays. You can reach this beach by taking a bus.
7. Isolated Beach
At Isolated Beach, you do not need an officially recognition to go nude. Find any lonely stretch and enjoy going nude.

Delta Sig of the Week: Seth Peavler
Dallin Craven has passed Delta Sig of the Week onto brother Seth Peavler. Dallin passed this onto Seth for his continued loyalty and service to Delta Sigma Phi, as well as to his country. Seth served as President of the Delta Lambda Chapter of Delta Sigma Phi during 2013, and just recently passed on the reins to brother Brian Speckhard. Seth is currently in Miami, FL attending a last bit of training before being sent to Afghanistan to service in the US Army for 500 days. Seth is apart of the 934th Forward Surgical Team.
"The mission of the 934th FST is to provide traumatic life, limb or eyesight care to coalition force units, local nationals, Afghan national security force members and anyone else affected by the actions of war, regardless of how or by whom they were hurt."
We wish Seth the best of luck, and we appreciate his service to both our chapter and our great country. You are the image of a great Delta Sig. YITBOS!
Delta Sig of The Week: Todd Speckhard
This week, we have passed Delta Sig of The Week onto one of our new members, Todd Speckhard. Todd did an awesome job reaching out to our Dream Girls to invite them to the Dream Girl dinner that his pledge class put on. Todd is also his Pledge Class President. Congratulations on Delta Sig of The Week, Todd!

Anna Karenina
by Leo Tolstoy
Anna Karenina Part 3, Chapter 5 Summary
- After lunch, Levin started mowing next to an old man, and a newly married young man who just and was mowing for the first time.
- The longer Levin mows, the better he gets at it.
- Occasionally, the three have to shift their movements to accommodate areas in the landscape. The old man does this easily, while Levin and the young peasant have trouble.
- When it's time for dinner, peasant children bring over food for the men.
- Levin sits with them and eats some of the old man's dinner. The two men chat about their lives, and Levin feels closer to the old man than he does to his own brother.
- Levin then has a nap. When he sits up, Levin is impressed by how much he and the other men have mowed. He wants to mow even more.
- They continue mowing. They make it their goal to finish mowing Mashka's Knoll, with vodka as an incentive to finish the job.

"Even if we, Grupo Modelo, Constellation and Crown Imports resolve the litigation with the Department of Justice, the court in this private action could enjoin the parties from completing the combination with Grupo Modelo, or could further delay it," A-B stated in the filing. "We intend to defend against it vigorously." (St. Louis Business Journal) Visit the source article See all headline news
