The lesson provides differentiated instruction using the H.O.P. Centers Framework. H.O.P. stands for Hands-On, Open-Ended, and Practice which are the themes for each of the three centers in the framework. Lesson structure is designed using brain research principles. In this lesson students will learn how to solve problems using division multiplication with a short engaging lesson, hands-on activity, practice writing about a word problem using multiplication, and engage in tiered practice of the concept.
This resource was reviewed using the Curriki Review rubric and received an overall Curriki Review System rating of 2, as of 2009-09-08.
This problem-solving lesson focuses on multiplication for upper-elementary students. The lesson plan has Microsoft Word and PDF files that can be edited by individual teachers for their own classroom use. There are a few grammatical errors that need to be fixed. Also, the "Wrap Up" problem is different in the "Presentation" from the "Student Packet." Most parts of the lesson are thorough and include everything that is needed. There is a "Hands On" graphic organizer that could use further explanation. There are no Hands-on activities suggested that incorporate math manipulatives into the lesson but teachers can always adapt this for their own students.

I purchased this item and when I peeled the sticker off of the bottom blue paint came off with it. Then I realized that this item is not made of blue glass, but of clear glass with a thin coat of blue paint on the outside. The paint easily scrubs off with a steel wool pad...except the paint that is in the crevices of the decorative cuts.

I'd like to add a placeholder attribute to certain input fields, and since the form fields are generated through php (why is this?) I can't simply override the form with a template in my theme folder. So I resorted to trying to hack it into the core file frontend-uploader.php (yeah yeah I know, bad practice but it won't be updated anyway since it's for a short-term project) and added it to
$atts and included it in the shortcode. It's in the
$atts array, has a value, but it just won't show up in the output, unlike the class and id in the same array. Is there any other way (a hook for functions.php perhaps?) to solve this?

Christie's Big and Tall Tale May Be Simpler Than We Thought
By tmcbpatriot | January 12, 2014 | No Comments
Wow! What a whale of a tale!! And it keeps growing! Gotta love that. This bridge story is turing into one for the record books. I just hope nothing happens to trump it. That would be a shame.
So, here's what we know so far. Let's recap:
1. Gov. Chris Christie hired a crack staff of trusted advisors, close confidants and strategists to help him navigate what must be the insanity of governing New Jersey (If you've never been to Jersey, let's just say the Sopranos was popular, in part, due to its accuracy).
2. Normally brash, rude and…well…very New Jersey, Christie wears his bravado on his sleeve. On any other day most people would not be surprised if he told some unknown Democratic mayor from some random town in Jersey to go f**k himself. In Sopranos country "Go f**k yourself" is like saying good morning.
3. Then we hear a story about this same nobody mayor who may have dissed the "large one" by not endorsing him for re-election a few weeks before. As a result of this dissing, Christie's crack staff hatches a plan to close three lanes of one of the most heavily travelled bridges in the country, tie up traffic for four days and risk huge political fallout if it all went bad.
5. When the plan does go bad after reporters starting asking questions, the Governor is finally asked about it at a press conference…a full three months later. Christie says of the incident, "I worked the cones. Unbeknownst to anyone, I was working the cones." He then goes on to claim he knew nothing about anything and was told it was a traffic study. Now, I will if course give the governor the benefit of the doubt here. However, if that story is true then we have a governor of a very large state who believed that, and was ok with, the Port Authority closing three lanes of one of the most travelled bridges in the country, during rush hour, disrupting the lives of thousands of people, interfering with commerce, causing security issues, etc., for four days, all for the betterment of science. Ok, whatever.
6. Finally, we come to the end of this week and a full four months to the day of the failed "traffic experiment." Christie still maintains he knew nothing about anything, other than it being a traffic study. He also claimed that his most trusted advisors went berserk and pulled this stunt without his knowledge. What's weird about that though is that while those on the Right are saying we should just move on because Christie told the truth, we don't seem to be focusing on the fact that Christie is still claiming this was a traffic study. FOX "News" believes him. So what's the problem? If Christie still believes it was a traffic study then why did he fire his closest advisors for "lying" to him? What did they lie about? If they were lying about it being a traffic study than it was political. However, Christies still maintains it was not political and was a traffic study.
Of course we will find out the truth sooner or later, provided nothing bigger happens and we forget all about this. What we may find out, and this would be the worst possible scenario for Christie, is that this bridge thing had nothing to do with Ft Lee's mayor, Maddow's judicial nominee theory or anything else pertaining to any one person in particular. The truth may turn out to be much simpler.
The GWB is a major artery in this country, and in New Jersey. The amount of traffic across that bridge is massive and many, many people rely on it every day. To close down three lanes during rush hour for four days would certainly not go unnoticed.
For Chris Christie, this may have been simply a great opportunity to send a sort of bat signal to his enemies all across the state in one fell swoop that he was very much still in charge and most likely would be in November. This is New Jersey after all. People there tend to do things to the hilt, especially the powerful ones. Think Chicago, only with more cursing. Add to that Christie's known temper and the stress of an upcoming election and you get Tony Soprano sending his political enemies, and perhaps even some of his friends a message that says "I'm still here and you best not forget it."
Problem is that while Christie was confident this was something he could get away with, this perceived "dog whistle" of a threat came across a bit louder than anticipated and has come back to bite him in his very large posterior. In the end this may all turn out to be just another reminder that power not only corrupts, but it also can ensnare even the largest politicians, literally and figuratively, when the world outside bursts their bubble. Fugedaboutit!

Liz Cheney, Real American Hero
By tmcbpatriot | January 7, 2014 | No Comments
Liz Cheney called it quits today and I am depressed. Never has this country seen a patriot stronger than Liz Cheney. She represented all that is right with the republican party and shined a light of all that was wrong with the filthy left-wing progressive Hollywood liberals. Wyoming lost a true hero today.
I remember when her father was Vice President. Remember that? Back when this country had a backbone. Back when being American meant something more than taking from you and me and living off of Barack Hussein's government welfare.
Today we have liberal filth taking while people like Liz Cheney are giving. Well, today she gave us the faith to keep moving forward. She is a true hero and for that we thank her.
If you like this article, please leave a comment saying so. Please be sure to donate to this site as well. What ever you can spare. Do it for country and to help me stop those filthy liberals out there who want to take from me and you every chance they get. God Bless America!
— You know? Writing as a conservative is both fun and easy. It allows me to literally type whatever comes to mind, so long as it is vehemently anti-liberal. It is cathartic in a way. I can pretend to be ignorant awhile poking fun at the ignorance I hear every day on AM radio on the way in to the office. I am sure too that this type of writing would guarantee positive attention from the right. You know what? I just might do this more often. How much do you want to bet it would not only be successful, but also lucrative? After all, who wants to get rid of their money faster than an ignorant republican? Find me one left-wing site that sells gold coins, iced-tea, neckties and gas masks to their unsuspecting audience? I could make a fortune!
Only thing to remember is to use the correct photo. I may have gotten my Cheney's mixed up on this one. More to come.

New Years Resolutions
By tmcbpatriot | December 31, 2013 | No Comments
Hard to believe another year is gone. Already 14 years into the 21st century. That's so crazy! It's moving too fast. Makes me think about the coming year and what may be in store.
I always have a little worry about what's to come in a new year, but then I also have an amazing excitement about starting from the top again. New Years resolutions come into play this time of year as well. I have a bunch that I am going to try and stick with. Well, maybe not a bunch, but more than a few.
Here are some of them:
- Stop watching local news or any news that is broadcast on television airwaves
- Continue listening to AM radio in the car because AM radio is just so insane. There are more Obama haters on AM frequencies than anywhere else in the known universe
- I will learn that when watching New Years Rockin' Eve from Times Square on teevee, starring Ryan Seacrest, they are not speaking to me nor do they even acknowledge that I exist. In other words, I am older than 32
- I will not be shocked when a right wing website bans me after four comments. That has to be a record
- I will be sure to blog as much as possible about all the insane sh*t republicans do and say in 2014. There will be no shortage of that for sure
- I promise to be fully drained by next New Years after all the politicking going on in this congressional and senatorial election year. Egads! Almost forgot about that one
Ok, 10 seconds to go….Happy New Year!!
Thanks for reading.

Merry Christmas!
By tmcbpatriot | December 23, 2013 | 1 Comment
I'm not catholic nor christian and yet I still wish people a Merry Christmas, unless they are Jewish then I will say happy holidays because I am not a total dick. Otherwise, as far as I am concerned what we say and why is totally irrelevant. This holiday is for and about the kiddies. Anyone still thinking Christmas is about something else, like the baby Jesus or something, I am sorry. Christmas is about watching your kids light up and be excited and giving them hope and belief in something good, benevolent and best of all non-violent. It's a time to chill and stay as far away from stores as possible, unless its Toys R' Us, then you do what you have to do.
As for adults, to be on TV shouting about the color of Santa's skin or feigning disgust at people who have the audacity to say Happy Holidays to one another is just not natural. It goes against everything we were supposed to have learned when we became adults.
Sure Bill O'Reilly does it, but then his audience is slightly retarded. They also buy his books. As for the rest, I just don't get it. I guess they hitched themselves to that gravy train and intend to suck it dry.
I can't say I am hopeful about 2014 in light of all of this, but I can say I hope your holiday's go swimmingly. Thanks for reading! Enjoy!

Mandela Make-y Republicans Go Shama Lama Ding Dong Crazy!
By tmcbpatriot | December 7, 2013 | 1 Comment
Shama Lama Ding Dong! Something about Mendela made me think of this tune today so I am including it in this post. Maybe he reminded me of Otis Day. Maybe he looked a little like Morgan Freeman playing Otis Day playing Mandela. Not sure. Of course, Nelson Mandela has died. When a figure this large passes it is really a big deal. Bill Clinton said today that we are fortunate to have lived during Mandela's time. That's deep and very true. Mandela was a true hero to a whole race of people and even crossed over into the lighter side of town as well. That's quote a feat for a human being. So many today were rightly praising Mandela for this work to end apartheid and for all that he suffered through to get there. Even some republicans came out in praise of him. In fact, Rick Santorum today said that the republican's fight against Obamacare is very much like Mandela's fight to end apartheid. No, seriously.
Nevertheless, not everyone was sad to see Mandela go. For example, today I learned that Dick Cheney thought Mandela was a terrorist and voted to keep him in jail. It also seems that Ronald Reagan, yeah that guy, "supported apartheid in South Africa and opposed Mandela being freed from a jail cell where he spent 27 years of his life." Yikes!
In South Carolina things got even worse when some sheriff there refused to lower the flag to half-mast, partly because Obama told him to, but mostly because Mandela wasn't American! No, seriously.

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) wrote that the "world has lost an exceptional leader who made the world a better place." But some commenters cried foul at the "revisionist history" of Mandela. Another expressed relief that "Mass Murderer Mandela is finally dead."
A commenter on the Facebook page of House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), who commemorated Mandela's "perseverance in fighting the apartheid system," likewise said that the death made him "glad." Another wondered if Boehner was implying support for "communism and the killing of white people."
I swear, if this wasn't so serious I would be laughing my ass off. Well, I am laughing a little, and I am sure that republican politicians are rolling their eyes wondering how the hell to put these cretins back into the bottle they opened. I'm starting to think that maybe republicans just can't help themselves anymore. They just have to respond automatically, as if by instinct, and say the exact opposite of what Obama is saying. Even when someone like Nelson Mandela dies, the Right still has to pick a side. Unfortunately for them, it is always the racist, ignorant side.
Now enjoy…

Benghazi-gasm 2016!
By tmcbpatriot | December 4, 2013 | No Comments
It's official! Reince Priebus (Latin for small penis), chair of the Republican National Committee, has come out and said that "the party is narrowing in on former secretary of state Hillary Clinton, a potential candidate and threat in the 2016 presidential election."
Can't you just see where this is going? The RNC knows full well that Hillary is all about 2016 and 2016 is all about Hillary. It's a no-brainer. She's going to come out swinging and Bill will be there to push her over the top. For the RNC this is a biggest fucking nightmare they could possibly imagine.
Picture it: It's 2016. Obamacare has been the law for six years. The exchanges were a giant success and everyone is now covered with health insurance. People have adjusted to the changes and are now actually enjoying the piece of mind of having health care coverage. The economy, meanwhile, has continued to improve and unemployment is around 6.2%.
Enter Hillary. She was once in the white house and presided over a great economy while trying, albeit unsuccessfully, to give everyone healthcare. Now, with Obamacare humming along in 2016, and with the ACA actually having helped Democrats get elected during the 2014 mid-terms, Hillary can remind everyone that she tried to do a similar thing back in her day, but was stopped by you know who. Oh, and as for Chris Christie? By 2016 he will have lost so much weight in preparation for his campaign that it will creep people out. Republicans, meanwhile, will have done a great job of moving eve further to the right and will have convinced voters that Christie is way too liberal because he shook hands with Obama after Hurricane Sandy.
If I were a republican I would be pretty darned nervous too, and you know they are. Hillary has always been the republicans worst nightmare. After all, she was married to the champion of republican hate who managed to thwart everything republicans could throw at him. In fact, when Bill Clinton ran for a second term he did so against Bob Dole. If ever a bone was thrown you could not hit a better ol' dog than Bob Dole.
While all of this bodes well for Democrats in 2016, there is one caveat. Yup. You guessed it. Benghazi! Currently, we are so saturated with that word it's now part of our general lexicon. Starting today, as the RNC officially prepares to attack Hillary head on, prepare to be bombarded with it to a degree we may have never seen. It will be a Benghazi-thon of the highest order. It's all the republicans have and all they will have by 2016.
Prepare for the Benghazi-gasm. It's gonna be sticky.

Kennedy's Conservative Cacophony
By tmcbpatriot | November 22, 2013 | No Comments
Today was a weird day. It's been fifty years since JFK was killed in Dallas. Still blows my mind that such a thing actually happened. Watching some old news clips today, it reminded me of how much has changed in fifty years. Back then all you had for news was a radio station and a few channels on the TV. People found out about The President of the United States being assassinated only if they had a radio or TV nearby. And the news broadcasts were like watching Edward R. Murrow. A bunch of cigarette smoking, gritty men right out of Mad Men central casting all telling you about actual news. Not only that, but they would do this only twice a day, once at 5PM and again at 11PM, or maybe less. Anyone, Beuller?
Other things have changed too. For one, no president goes anywhere in public today that hasn't been swept, cordoned and stripped searched. And if something did happen we would know about it milliseconds later and see it from every angle, including 3-D! Another thing that has changed is the president. Yeah, he's black, but I was talking about Kennedy. I wasn't aware of this, but Kennedy, it turns out, was a conservative.
That's right. It's true! Well…sort of. Well, no, not really. Better yet, I'll let wingtopia explain it for you:
- Glenn Beck: Kennedy Would Be "A Tea Party Radical."
- Rush Limbaugh: Kennedy "Was Not In Any Way A Liberal As You Know Liberals Today."
- Chris Wallace: "There Is A Growing Body Of Thought That In Fact President Kennedy Was Quite Conservative."
- Breitbart.com's Joel Pollak: "JFK Would Have Rejected The Iran Deal."
What was that last one? What else would JFK have done? This is so fascinating! Like I said, today was a weird day. Fifty years have gone by since 11/22/63. Anyone born on that day feels pretty weird too, and probably a little depressed.
What I want to know is, am I losing my mind? Has the earth officially flipped on its axis? Well, no. Not really. It's just right wingers doing what they do best; trying to distract us from the fact that they have really shitty heroes. Just this week George Zimmerman was arrested for assault, James Woods is still James Woods, and George W. Bush is selling his artwork as christmas ornaments. At this rate, I imagine in several years we'll find out that RFK was actually Ted Nugent's uncle.
I guess I can't blame the Right for claiming Kennedy as their own today. They really have no choice. But it confuses me too. Since the Right's listeners and watchers were probably adults and republican in 1963, you would think they would be confused by this. My guess is that they hated Kennedy in 1963, about as much as they hate Obama now. After all, back then Kennedy might have well been black. In 1963, being catholic was nearly as bad as being black. Furthermore…
You know what? I am starting to sound a little too factual. There is really no place for that in this article. So I'll stop. Happy Anniversary JFK, you right-winger you.

We Are So Screwed!
By tmcbpatriot | November 16, 2013 | No Comments
Another week is history and what a week it was. In between hearing about Obama's website shit storm, there were two other smaller stories that I think required way more attention:
1. Ted Cruz introduced a bill in Congress offering a $5 million reward for information on the Benghazi terror attack.
2. A law banning undetectable firearms is set to expire
Now, trick question, one of these stories is way more important than the other. Can you guess which one? If you chose the first one then you are a republican and should not even be reading this blog. If, however, you said the second then pay attention because this is not a joke.
From the LA Times: A 25-year-old federal law requiring that all guns be detectable by security screeners will expire Dec. 9.
You want to read that again? I think you should in order to fully grasp the situation. There is apparently a law out there that requires guns be made of metal so that metal detectors can pick them up. It's crazy to think that such a law would even have to exist. I mean, Take The Money and Run was funny, but a gun made out of soap is really not that dangerous. So why all the fuss?
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives officials said this week that they themselves had made and fired eight rounds with a printed handgun called the Liberator; officials ordered that the gun's design be taken down from a website last May, but not before the design had been downloaded more than 100,000 times.
What? A printed handgun? Oh yes.
The 3-D printed gun's maker told the BBC: "I recognize that the tool might be used, yeah, to harm other people. That's what it is. It's a gun. But again, I don't think that's a reason not to do it, to not put it out there. I think that liberty, in the end, is a better interest.
We. Are. So. Screwed.
The question now becomes: Will Republican's actually allow this law to expire? Do they even have balls that large? Will someone from the NRA go on Meet The Press and say that this law infringes upon the 2nd amendment? Will they argue that requiring guns to be made of metal so as to be detectable in airports, court houses and other large gatherings is anti-American and not as the founders intended? And of those 100,000 who have already downloaded the design specifications, and the million more who will now do so after reading about how you can download plans to make your very own undetectable plastic gun, will they comply with a law that nobody even knew existed? Will they say, "Oh darn! I thought I could make an undetectable plastic gun, but now I am required to get a a metal trigger! DAMN YOU OBAMA!"?
Democrats in the Senate and the House have new versions of the law that would, among other things, require a gun's barrel, slide and receiver to be made from metal, which would make them detectable by most security scanners. But they don't seem to be advancing speedily to votes.
In case you were not aware, we're coming on a year since Newtown. Nothing has changed and in fact may be about to get way worse. Kind of makes me want to learn more about Ted Cruz's reward money, Benghazi thing. I could use a little comedy to go with all the insanity.

Republicans Take Down The Internet To Stop Obamacare, Or Not
By tmcbpatriot | November 7, 2013 | No Comments
Has this been a crazy year for politics or what? I mean, it's like every week a major crises emerges and each time it gets nuttier and nuttier. The most recent of course is the faulty Obamacare website. Holy schnikes Batman! It's bad!! Real bad!!!
What I don't get is why is the Right is so upset about it? If I were on the Right, and I had a radio show or blog, I would be celebrating the failure of this website from the rooftops. I would be laughing and saying how great it is that the website is broken. A broken website means nobody can sign up, thus We the People are saved from the evils of Obamacare. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! This is exactly what the Right has wanted from day one.
Weird thing is all I hear on AM radio is what a failure Obama is and how dare he try to launch a website. They talk about him as if he is an IT guy working in his cubicle just screwing up all the code. I know we think the President is in change of every damn thing, but he's the CEO! How much does the CEO really know about the day-to-day? A small company maybe, but the United States of America?
It's actually quite funny to listen to. They Right is trying so hard to find reasons to bash the President, but then they always fall short. They are trying to use this debacle to speak to those who voted for Obama and Obamacare and give them empathy, as if to woo them over to their way of thinking. Thing is, in a month when the site is up and running and everything's fine the Right will realize they missed an golden opportunity to do what they should have done from the start: Bring down the internet!
Think about it. If the internet stops working then Obamacare is dead in its tracks. Sure there are paper applications, but this is the internet age. If the website is down then millions will be cut off. It is like defunding Obamacare, but without all the work.
Reality is though once the site is fixed people will sign up and they will like it. That makes the Right cringe. They know the deal and went with empathy. They should have gone with plan B.

What Happened To My D.C. Truckers?!!!!
By tmcbpatriot | October 11, 2013 | No Comments
"Video cams occasionally showed three trucks rolling side by side, clogging up cars and other trucks behind them, but the Beltway otherwise keeps truckin."
"At one point, according to the Virginia State Police, four commercial vehicles slowed traffic to 15 mph after the drivers rode side-by-side across all four northbound lanes of I-495 in Virginia. Police pulled the drivers over and warned them not to impede traffic."
"They're traveling with the flow of traffic, which is slow due to the heavy volume and weather conditions…Still no incidents to report."
— Dumbasses. The Tea Party are like that crazy uncle you put up with because he makes you laugh, until you finally kick his ass out.

A Mighty Convoy Is Coming to D.C….And It Won't Be Sexy
By tmcbpatriot | October 9, 2013 | No Comments
The government is closed! National parks are barricaded!! Panda Cams are dark!!! Obamacare exchange servers are crashing!!!! Angry truckers are coming to D.C. as part of a three-day protest to "shut down America" and "restore our Constitutional Republic!!!!!"
Wait, what was that last one?
Amidst all the turmoil in Congress and as if Obama doesn't have enough on his hands, some crazy, red neck truckers aim to tie up three lanes of Interstate 495 circling the nation's capital this Friday with big rigs in order to have "the last peaceful defensive stand in a war that has been declared by Wall Street, Washington, and the Whitehouse upon the American people." In other words, this should be fun.
Seriously, here's the story:
"[A] Georgia trucker handling logistics, Earl Conlon, told U.S. News & World Report that he and other truckers would block the highway if police intervened and that they also would try to arrest members of Congress for disregarding the Constitution."
"We want these people arrested, and we're coming in with the grand jury to do it…We are going to ask the law enforcement to uphold their constitutional oath and make these arrests. If they refuse to do it, by the power of the people of the United States and the people's grand jury, they don't want to do it, we will. … We the people will find a way."
You gotta love the Tea Party. If nothing else, and I mean nothing else, these guys are so insane that their antics are becoming funnier every time they pull a stunt. All I can think of when I hear stories like this is Glenn Beck laughing his ass off all the way to the bank and FOX realizing that they have created a monster that is destined to bring them down, all the way down, if this kind of stuff keeps up.
These truckers are yet another example of our media getting the best of not very bright people who believe the words coming from the talking heads and the republican leaders enabled by them on the radio and tv. They believe them so much in fact that they are convinced that they too can affect change through intimidation and bullying. What we are seeing is simply a bunch of children copying the behavior of their fathers. If republicans can hold the government hostage then why not some dumb as shit truckers?
It is becoming quite clear that these past five years have been quite hard on republicans. They have been brought to the edge of insanity as a result of having a black democratic president and having told so many lies to try to defeat him that they and their followers are now unable to tell reality from Fox & Friends. I find it so wonderfully amusing too how these ignorant souls will take to the streets in their semis to protest the very things the occupiers were fighting for so many eons ago; like low wages, high fuel prices, Wall Street corruption and power being distributed to the wealthy few while everyone else suffers. I am quite sure these same truckers were scoffing at those hippies and telling them to get jobs and to stop being lazy.
Imagine these trucking protesters actually had real grievances and really cared about the things they say they care about? They could have driven their trucks onto Wall Street and showed some solidarity with the tent dwellers who were equally upset. Alas, the reason that didn't happen is because these truckers are not focused or serious. They are simply led by folks crazier than them whose agenda has nothing to do with fairness as much as it has to do with living in the land of crazy. One of the co-organizers of Friday's BJ and The Bear reunion, a woman named Zeeda Andrews said this not too long ago:
Osama Bin Laden is our President Obama do your research. The CIA has been preparing for this since he was a boy. They have same height, bone structure, hands and ears both are left handed the Osama face was created by Hollywood. The fox is in the hen house.
Here is a link to the truckers manifesto, if you care to read it. You may find that it is devoid of any goals or purpose, outside of confirming that they are indeed crazy. It also states that this event will be their "last peaceful defensive stand." What does that mean? Is an armed insurrection scheduled for the following Friday?
With a shutdown underway and republicans totally being blamed for it, these nutty truckers are only going to make things worse for republicans' already falling poll numbers when they piss off a lot of cops and female motorists just trying to get to work or get their kids to school on time. But the truckers don't really care about any of that. All they care about is a higher minimum wage, lower fuel prices and less corruption on Wall Street and Washington. Oh and that our president is really Osama Bin Ladin in disguise.
If you think about it, this Friday should be pretty apropos to whats happening in D.C. These truckers, like those in congress, may soon find themselves down a very lonely road and quite obviously running on less than a full tank.

Kill Obamacare! Bring Back The ACA!
By tmcbpatriot | October 1, 2013 | No Comments
Obamacare is here. But what ever happened to the Affordable Care Act? I would have much preferred the ACA over Obamacare and the willful killing of our grandmothers. How was this travesty ever allowed to occur?
Of course I am kidding, but I bring this up because there are quite a few out there who are not. A recent poll by CNBC showed that when asked which of two health care initiatives people would prefer they found that forty-six percent oppose Obamacare while only 37 percent oppose the ACA. Thing is, they're the same fu**ing thing!! Seems republican types and those brilliantly informed "independents" we hear so much about during election season are more willing to support the Affordable Care Act over Obamacare.
What are we to do with this information? Should we mock those who voted in this poll? Should we smack them? Should we laugh at them? Should we deny them health care insurance and tax them heavily just because of their willful ignorance? How about the Obama Administration changes the name of the ACA to Cookies and Ice Cream? Would that make it easier for these geniuses to understand?
We once believed, and perhaps still do, that the children are our future. Which generation were these children and what the hell went wrong? Whatever high hopes we might have for "the children" and the lovely songs written about them, we are obviously not there yet. Maybe we just should start listening to the lyrics more closely. The "teach them well" part is obviously being ignored while "they can't take away my dignity" is a train that has long since left the station.
Call them cynical or call them smart, politicians are nothing if not manipulative and masters of obfuscation. As a populace, we seem sadly and ignorantly willing to go along with them; yet another generation whose parents had such high hopes only to find their children piled up at the bottom of the cliff once again.
Obamacare is here and so is the ACA. They are one in the same. Blind ignorance and a willingness to believe what politicians say rather than learning for ourselves may be as well.

Two Great Points On Obamacare
By tmcbpatriot | September 27, 2013 | No Comments
Point #1:
From: A Brief Interlude With Expert Opinion
By Charles P. Pierce
"What I don't get is these stupid governors who are turning down the Medicaid expansion," he said. "This is preposterously stupid. First of all, your low-income people get health-insurance, and you get billions and billions of dollars of stimulus in health-care spending. For example, there are one million uninsured Floridians who are below the poverty line. The federal government is saying we'll pay to insure them, and, in addition, we're sending billions of dollars to you. And Rick Scott says no. There is no basis for turning this down except to put your political agenda ahead of the needs of your state's citizens. They say they're worried about the federal deficit? Why? They're governors, for god's sake. This is one of the criminal failures of our political system. It is an enormous failure."
Point #2:
How To Think About Obamacare
By Andrew Sullivan
"The thing that staggers me about the Republican hatred of this law is its abstract quality. They never address the real problem of our massively inefficient private healthcare market, which is a huge burden on the economy. They never address how to help the millions of uninsured adults get the care all human beings need. They appear to regard a Heritage Foundation, free-market-designed, private healthcare exchange system as some kind of communist plot. They do not seem to believe there is any pressing problem at all. And they have nothing constructive to offer."
"This is not about Obamacare. It is not even about politics. It is about a form of revolt against the very country they live in."

The Left Shows Some Muscle
By tmcbpatriot | September 26, 2013 | No Comments
It all over folks. Our long national nightmare is over. In just a few short days Obamacare will be the law of the land and republicans will move on. They will have no other choice. They have already begun. Now that Ted Cruz is no longer standing, John Boehner and team are already working on holding the debt limit hostage….again! Following that? I suspect Iran will take center stage and then lord know what else. I also suspect republicans will start focusing more intensely on Hillary while making sure Chris Christie attends eaters anonymous and fat camp, ASAP.
The reality is that Obamacare is quite benign and will enable a lot of people to get health insurance. For republican politicians this really sucks because as with most public initiatives created by democrats nothing evil will ever come of it. Remember "Don't Ask Don't Tell"? That's going on two years now and last I heard soldiers are still not wearing dresses and high heels. You think gay marriage will still be an issue in 2015? Think again. Unless thousands of gays suddenly demand to marry their dogs or San Francisco gays start pricking people all over the country with their rings, it is a non-starter.
No. Come election time people of all political persuasions will be enjoying Obamacare as much as they enjoy their weekends, paid holidays, clean-ish air and water, regulations that keep our food from poisoning us, the internets (thank you Al Gore), unemployment insurance, legal weed, avoiding war, and a bunch of other nifty stuff we all take for granted and that liberal's have given us.
As for republican's, well they have some reminders too, like mandatory vaginal probes, defunding planned parenthood, not creating jobs, Ted Cruz, mass shootings, latino hatred, disenfranchising black voters and of course Benghazi. In all fairness, I am sure there are those who actually like all that stuff way more than Obamacare and will for sure continue to vote republican no matter what. But by giving people more nifty stuff that may actually improve their lives? That just might throw favor to the democrats for some time to come, something republican politicians are very well aware of.
Yes, Obamacare is yet another accomplishment by those damn liberals who can't stop helping people while republicans are working so hard to try to take it all away. How did it all come to this, they wonder, when mandatory vaginal probes seemed like a sure winner?

Cruz On First
By tmcbpatriot | September 24, 2013 | 1 Comment
Ted Cruz is talking and he will talk until he can no longer stand. Great! If he is no longer able to stand that means I do not have to look at his dopey expression for a few days. Cruz kind of reminds me of Lou Costello. Not that I have anything against Lou Costello. I just cannot take a guy seriously who I can picture in a bowler while getting slapped around by Bud Abbott, or in this case the GOP.
Ted Cruz is drama and comedy all rolled into one and to the nth degree. In fact, his side show, non-filibuster filibuster was actually discussed with Harry Reid beforehand. I guess Reid saw the humor in letting this guy grandstand a bit longer before he becomes a footnote in the annals of egotistical, impatient, self-serving politicians who wanted the White House so badly that they were willing to do whatever it took, no matter how foolish the endeavor.
I will be glad when this is all over and Obamacare becomes part of the fabric of our society. Like Medicare and Social Security, Obamacare will remind us once more how democrats actually work to provide real solutions while republicans like to play "whose on first" in an attempt to keep us wondering what the hell is going on. It may be good for a few laughs, but at the end of the day it's entertainment meant to distract from the reality of things getting done by democrats. Soon the GOP will find itself without much of a leg to stand while Ted Cruz becomes a reminder of how bad things could be if we decided to elect one of them to the presidency again. Hopefully this whole drama gave us food for thought. Wait, don't tell me. He's the catcher.

Who Still Believes in Bi-Partisanship?
By tmcbpatriot | September 12, 2013 | No Comments
Is there anyone out there who reads and follows politics who believes that bi-partisanship is possible? I find that those who believe such things are often very disconnected from the news and don't really follow politics on a daily basis or at all. If you did then you would know that politics is all about getting money after you are elected so that you can run again. That's really all it is. It's about being a salesman. Granted, there are some very talented politicians, but for the most part, it is about keeping the coffers full and keeping political talk show hosts employed.
I was thinking about this after reading tons of comments from blog readers who have been taking sides in this Putin NYT's article thing. It has been really upsetting to see so many people actually defending Putin. It is as if they know nothing of his history, or his leadership, or the fact that last November these same people were ready to vote for Mitt Romney, who said that Russia was "without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe."
Whether he was right or wrong about that, the point is that if Romney were now president and Putin wrote this same article, those same people would be hanging their flags from their porch and changing the name of Russian dressing to Freedom dressing. To even consider otherwise is to be so naive that you think FOX is a reliable news source because they say so.
Of course when you call the commenters on it the response is always the same: "This is not the same as the Iraq war!" and "If Bush were president Putin and Assad would be in Gitmo." I just made those quotes up just now. But I guarantee you these two quotes are written on a comment board somewhere, verbatim.
It all just becomes so silly when we fight with each other over the same things we fought over when the last guy was president. Only difference is, now they actually have weapons of mass destruction, have gassed their own people and we are doing everything we can to avoid war. Other than that it's pretty much the same.
I guess what I am trying to say is that when I read comments from right wingers and then find myself pointing out their laughable hypocrisy to them, it becomes clear that I am wasting my time. There is no such thing as bi-partisanship. Bi-partisanship is a fantasy, save for an alien invasion, and even then I am sure we'd work together long enough to kill them or to learn their stance on abortion and gay marriage. However, if they have ray guns, I can pretty much guarantee a spot on Fox & Friends.

Putin for USA president 2016!!
By tmcbpatriot | September 10, 2013 | 3 Comments
The title of this post is taken from an actual quote on the comment board of Pravda's website. Pravda of course is Russia's goto source of political news and the one most associated with the Communist Party. It's not been twelve hours since the tides turned from going to war with Syria to a potential stand down by Assad of his entire chemical weapons program and already the right wing are defecting faster than Vladimir Ivanoff in Moscow on The Hudson.
Good god man, what hath Obama wrought?
Yesterday, a freelance conservative blogger with a Russian sounding name wrote a scathing article about Obama and his supposed power struggle with Putin over Syria's chemical weapons program. Putin's wall Obama's fall lays out a factless, partisan argument that President Obama has said "uncle" to the beloved leader of a free Russia. What's amazing to me though is not the article itself. It was written by a conservative Russian. I can pretty much guarantee where his opinion and fear will take him. What is amazing to me are the comments that follow it, comments written by, one can only assume, American conservatives in search of yet another made up reason to bash Obama.
For example, here are just some of the comments, in addition to the one that titles this post:
"Putin made obozo look like a fool again thank you, mr. president!!"
"The once Evil Empire (as said by Ronald Reagan one of the greatest Presidents the US ever had) is now the Empire that wants Peace. Who would have guessed that American is the evil agressor now in Syria and Russia is the peace maker."
"A lot of weak little corporate props passing themselves off as leaders wish they were as popular as Putin now."
"The us corp media is mostly propaganda. thank you pravda and President Putin for standing to the the evil obama gangsters"
It goes on and on like this. People with names like Lee White, Leo Derosia and other white sounding names all praising a Russian, KGB, communist. You can't make this stuff up because nobody would believe you! Now, in all fairness these could be Russian's with really non-Russian sounding names or Russians who love creating screen names using really non-Russian sounding names. But if I were to go back to 1984 and tell Ronald Reagan and his supporters that in 2013 Republicans would be referring to the current Russian leader as a candidate for U.S. president, let's just say that the look on their faces would be worth the trip alone.
I find it hilarious that Republicans continuously prove that they do not understand the meaning of the word irony. I also find it annoyingly amusing when they seem willing to agree with just about anyone, even a sworn enemy of the United States, so long as it means making Obama look like a fool at the end of the day.
It's quite pathetic really and I expect it to continue for a little while longer. But if this war with Syria never materializes and Assad agrees to give up all of his chemical weapons then isn't that really a testament to good ol' fashioned diplomacy and emotional intelligence? Isn't this also something this country was sorely lacking approximately 8,000 dead American soldiers ago?
What may turn out to be a peaceful resolution to a major crises means that our president took his case to the world and found partnership with a leader whose country Mitt Romney said was 'our number one geopolitical foe.' You have to give props where props are due. Imagine if George W. Bush did the same thing in Iraq? Imagine he and the man he lovingly referred to as "pooty poot" had worked together on a diplomatic solution in Iraq instead of invading it? Of course you can't. The two are not the same. Syria actually has weapons!
Republicans are simply a breed who honestly do not understand what they are doing or saying. They couldn't possibly. For me to believe otherwise there would have to be evidence of it, based in fact. Over and over again though, Republicans simply cannot produce any and instead continue to use empty, angry rhetoric to hurl accusations and insults at a man who just may be one of the smartest presidents we have ever had.
I have an idea. How about Obama for RUSSIAN president in 2018!!?? We have to wait that long because when Putin became president of Russia he changed the term limit from four years to six years.
Like I said, you can't make this stuff up.

Mark Halperin Has A Beard – LOOK!
By tmcbpatriot | September 8, 2013 | No Comments
I tell you what, I truly don't understand t.v. punditry. Why is it that none of these clowns ever go on their political shows and actually discuss political strategy and actual politics? It's as if their only job is to turn whatever goes on in Washington into some reality t.v. drama where the President is Mr. Obvious and the government is a soap opera where politicians operate out of personal vendetta's rather than pointing out that nothing in Washington moves unless it is for political advantage, period.
If we are to believe the pundits then we would also have to believe that chess is a game of chance where the pieces move willy nilly around the board until somebody wins by accident or by dumb luck. For the punditry to disregard the clear rules of the game is disingenuous or woefully ignorant.
Case in point…Mark Halperin, star of one of the dumbest of the dumb t.v. political talk shows, Morning Joe, said this recently about the situation with Syria:
"Yesterday I thought [Obama would win the vote]; now I'm deeply skeptical…Time is not on the president's side right now…public opinion and the member dynamics are all going against the White House. I'm not sure, now, how they get time back on their side."
Wow, Mark? Let me see if I understand you. Yesterday you thought Obama might get the votes and today not so much? Damn! That is quit an astute and deeply experienced observation. Please, tell me more!
I want to point out too that the story where I read about Halperin's childishly nuanced analysis began by pointing out that Mark is "still-bearded." You see for reasons unknown to me Mr. Halperin apparently stopped shaving a while back and has since grown a beard, which usually happens when shaving ceases. More importantly, a character on a t.v. show changed his look and when that happens viewers become absolutely giddy with wonder as to why.
In fact, that Halperin is sporting facial hair seems to be the bigger story, instead of say how the politicians in Washington are moving their pieces around the political chess board. Isn't that far more interesting to the viewer of political shows? One would think. For example, what if Halperin, in his hairy best, talked about how Republicans might be against going into Syria out of fear of increasing the deficit and asking people to sacrifice, which is what wars tend to do. Plus, if you recall, Dick Cheney once quipped during the Iraq war that "deficits don't matter." Are Republicans in 2013 afraid of being caught saying the exact opposite of Dick Cheney during war time? Inquiring minds want to know!
What if Halperin talked about the fact that supporting the president at this point is just so anathema to the Republican Party that it is simply no longer within their range of motion? I mean, what the hell politicos? Speaking of which:
From Politico: If the Senate passes a use-of-force resolution next week — which is no sure thing — the current dynamics suggest that the House would defeat it. That would represent a dramatic failure for Obama, and once again prove that his sway over Congress is extraordinarily limited.
What? And how can you say the administration is losing? Since this Syria crises began Obama has managed to turn previously war hungry House Republicans into bumbling hypocrites who are divided among the hawks and the isolationists. Obama has also managed to turn the once proud "noun-verb-9/11" neo-cons into anti-war, carefully deliberating, defenders of a muslim despot and terrorist who "gassed his own people" and all in the weeks leading up to 9/11!!! That sure as shit sounds like winning to me. Why is nobody talking about this?! Attention Pundits! Pull your collective heads out of your asses! Politics is happening right in front of your face!!
And can I just add one more thing here? In 2002 another guy with facial hair, mustachioed then-Undersecretary of State John Bolton, gave a speech entitled "Beyond the Axis of Evil" in which he included Syria and called them "state sponsors of terrorism that are pursuing or who have the potential to pursue weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or have the capability to do so in violation of their treaty obligations". In fact, when you have a moment, read the full speech and then also read this article from the Washington Times, circa 2003.
Again I ask, isn't this way more interesting than this?:
From NBC FirstRead: "The first place for news and analysis from the NBC News Political Unit — This all sets up a situation in which the Obama administration and its allies have 96 hours to change the momentum if they're going to get Congress to pass an authorization approving limited action in Syria. Does Obama address the nation next week to better sell this to the public and their representatives? (Only way he doesn't is if the White House abruptly decides Congress is a lost cause.) Does his challenge get easier — or harder — when most members actually return to Washington next week?
Get the popcorn honey, this is going to be better than Breaking Bad! Why not just give us a clock counting down on the bottom of our screen like "24"?
I guess I really can't blame Halperin and the rest for wanting to turn this whole thing into some kind of West Wing episode for the viewers at home. After all, there are alot of people who actually watch Morning Joe and wonder to each other aloud about that beard. Will Obama get the votes? Will McCain prevail? Will John Boehner cry? Tune in tomorrow morning at 8:00a.m. to find out, followed immediately by Shaving Mark Halperin at 9:30a.m.
It's Must See T.V.® America. You won't want to miss it.

Parishes hit by Ike and Gustav could get millions in federal aid
State lawmakers advance plan Friday
Published: Friday, January 9, 2009 at 6:50 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 9, 2009 at 6:51 p.m.
BATON ROUGE State lawmakers have agreed to a Jindal administration plan for spending federal recovery aid for hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
The state said Friday that it has been told it will get at least $438 million in such block-grant funding. Louisiana expects to receive as much as $800 million total.
The plan would let individual parishes largely decide how to spend the money on housing and infrastructure rebuilding. A quarter of the money would be saved for state programs on rental housing, agriculture, fisheries and hurricane protection.
The parish money would be divvied up based on the percentage of damage. Parishes would then be able to choose from a slate of possible programs for spending the cash.
The Legislature approved the plan by mail ballot. It still requires approval from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development before the money can be spent.

Two weeks later they charged my account again for $99.99. I tried going to the web sight but all I got was a page saying that I was not authorized to view that page. I was able to contact the company and talk to a woman who was very nice and she told me that as soon as I received the pills, which I told her I had never received them, that I could send them back and they would only charge me for one bottle and credit my account for the balance. I was agreeable to this if this would end my nighmare.
So far I have had no pills or responce from the company and now you cannot even get in touch with them by phone or e-mail. I had no idea what I had gotten myself into!! My income is only $17,000. a year and their unauthorized charges to my account caused some checks I had written to pay my bills to bounce, and therefore the back charged me a total of $300.00 for services rendered. I almost had a nervous breakdown over this and had to borrow money to cover the overdrafts just so I could break even.
If there is anyone out there than can help me I would so appreciate it.

This review is from: DELL Laptop Inspiron M531R AMD A8-Series A8-5545M (1.70 GHz) 8 GB Memory 1 TB HDD AMD Radeon HD 8510G 15.6" Windows 8.1 64-Bit
Pros: -Power:
-- quad-core processor
--12GB of RAM
-integrated 802.11
-USB [2x 3.0]
-USB [2x 2]
Cons: No touchscreen, no 5 GHZ wifi
Other Thoughts: Compares favorably with models costing twice as much...
...because the quad-core processor, 12GB of RAM and 1TB HDD are not currently the performance specs for similarly priced computers, but for those costing twice as much. Maybe this model is reaching the end of Dell's production life, or perhaps the absence of a touch screen and 5GHZ wireless option has moved it into the "bargain priced" laptop domain, but one thing is for sure: if the absence of a touch screen is something you can live with (and I certainly can): you're not likely to find a more capable machine in this price range.
Good connectivity options (ethernet, integrated 802.11, Bluetooth, HDMI output and USB [2x 3.0 and 2x USB 2]).l
After loading an Office Professional suite, an anti-virus program and the normal set of PC utility programs I use (inclduing a screen capture tool and audio editor, boot time from power off is an astonishing 24 seconds (12 seconds to my user splash screen, and 12 more for the desktop to be ready to use). Shutdown time to full power of is less than 20 seconds.
I don't yet have a consistent sense of battery life, which is going to variable depending on power management settings (including an "ultra long life" setting that will maximize available charge time).
For a mass market laptop, this computer arrived surprisingly free of bloatware/trialware.
Super responsive to productivity tasks, and so far has handled light video processing just fine.
Long term durability is TBD, but for most users, this is going to outpunch others in its weight class.
This review is from: SanDisk Ultra Plus SDSSDHP-064G-G25 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Pros: -inexpensive SSD
Cons: -if you don't need SATA, consider SD instead
Other Thoughts: ..for those without massive data storage needs.
-Good for Linux users, as a an OS boot drive in a multi-drive system, or for backup/portability for users that aren't overflowing with data files.
-Instantly recognized by two separate Windows 7 machines. In my desktop, USB 3 transfer speeds to/from an external enclosure were around 80 MB/sec.
-Fairly pricey (you can get the same capacity in an SD card for about half the price).
This review is from: HP 85A Toner Cartridge 1,600 Pages Yield (CE285A); Black
Pros: OEM for HP 1102w
1800 pages estimated
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: Once you've settled on your printer hardware, your only other choice is whether to go with the manufacturer's cartridges or an aftermarket "equivalent". I go with the OEM, and have had nothing but satisfactory result from HP cartridges.
Watch for sales and select with confidence for your HP printer.

Solutions for Chapter 18.2
The glycolysis of glucose yields pyruvate along with ATP and NADH. The electrons of NADH are transported to and drive the synthesis of ATP. The electrons are transported through electron carriers along the 4 complexes, which are present in a series.
All the reducing equivalents are transported from the cytosolic NADH to the mitochondrial NADH. They are transferred from all the NAD-linked dehydrogenations to the mitochondrial NADH-coenzyme Q oxidoreductase or complex I.
The reducing equivalents are then passed through a series of Rieske centers to ubiquinone. The ubiquinone then transfers the electrons to cytochrome b, which is the first carrier in complex III. Here, the electrons enter into 2 separate pathways through 2 b-type cytochromes and cytochrome c1 to center. The electrons are then passed from the center through cytochrome c and enter into complex IV.
Cytochrome c oxidase is the complex IV, which is a copper containing enzyme. It also contains cytochromes a and a3, which accumulates electrons before finally passing them over to.

Green Mountain Coffee loses patent lawsuit
OneCup does not violate patent, court says
Published 9:51 PM EDT May 30, 2013
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters has lost its patent lawsuit filed last year. The Rogers Family Coffee Company, the other party in the case, released a statement announcing the ruling in U.S. District Court.
Green Mountain lawyers had claimed the Rogers Family Coffee Company's single-serve coffee product, called OneCup, infringed on Keurig patents. The court disagreed.
The lawsuit could mean more companies could produce single-serve coffee products for use in a Keurig system.
Keurig is a line of single-serve brewing machines for K-Cup coffee packs from Green Mountain Coffee.
