An accidental Saturday affair
I was dining out as I do every Saturday afternoon, at the Olive Garden. That's when I saw her, the object of my accidental Saturday affair.
Those green eyes, twin emeralds, flashing at me from the far seat at the bar.
To describe her beauty is to attempt to describe the beauty of the sunrise at dawn. If they say a picture is worth a thousand words, then this angel smiling at me and flashing those green eyes is worth a thousand pictures.
She dined on Fettuccini Alfredo and a glass of red wine.
I enjoyed a luncheon of unlimited soup, salad and bread sticks, and a tall glass of sweet tea. Men wept as she passed, knowing they will never experience her beauty.
But she smiled at me over the rim of her wine glass as I shoveled a big spoonful of chicken gnocchi and snatched my heart from my chest.
She wore a simple blue pullover and made it look like a million bucks.
I wore my Father Flannigan outfit of black on black because it was the only thing left not dirty and I hadn't done laundry this month.
She is reading, a tome by Hemingway, his "A Movable Feast." I had just purchased the latest Walking Dead comic from Books a Million.
She looked again at me from across the bar and smiled. Perhaps I stirred a misplaced morsel of memory, or reminded her of an old friend. Maybe she found something in my face desirable and wanted to know more as I munched on a forkful of salad.
I nodded and raised my glass of sweet tea to her in a toast and mouthed the word, "Cheers," around a big hunk of breadstick.
Something in my heart went pitter patter as she smiled again and slowly lowered her hand to her chest, the left side just above the heart and tapped her chest just like Sammy Sosa and silently said, in French no less, Je t'aime, I love you.
My heart swelled as she nodded and did it again, touched her hand to her chest, the left side, and tapped twice, the universal sign for "I love you," as according to Sammy Sosa.
I nodded vigorously, "Yes, YES! Je t'aime! Je t'aime! I love you too!" And wept openly into my bowl of chicken gnocchi soup.
As if to profess her love for me to the world she tapped her chest yet again – what did I do to deserve this blessing bestowed by the Fates?
And then I understood, she wanted me to reply and as I slowly lowered my own hand to my chest, mimicking her movements, she nodded more vigorously herself, and if I could see that far across the bar I'm sure she too wept into her Fettuccini Alfredo.
She pointed as if to say, "Yes, you are doing it right."
So I touched my hand to my chest, left side, above the heart.
And felt a warm, sticky mess of Chicken gnocchi goo.
Set against the Father Flannigan black of my jacket, the long dripping stain of yellow chicken gnocchi looked like I'd missed my mouth altogether with one of those shoveling spoons.
And because I am a lovesick idiot she even grabbed her napkin to show me I needed to wipe off my jacket.
I smiled and replied in French because it is the language of love.
"Merde," I mean, "Merci."

A paper by Dr. Vincent Sollars and Ph.D. candidate Jasjeet Bullar of the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program will be published in an upcoming edition of Immunogenetics. This journal spotlights research concerning the genetic control of the immune system, including immune response and susceptibility to disease. More about the journal can be found at the Immunogenetics website.
The paper is entitled "YB-1 expression and function in early hematopoiesis." YB-1 is a gene that encodes for a "cold shock" protein that is a part of the stress response system. It is expressed broadly during development and serves as a cell survival factor, regulating the transcription and/or translation of numerous genes controlling cellular growth and death. According to their research, YB-1 is already known to be involved in the progression of cancers, and he is investigating its possible role in leukemia. His research specifically focuses on the characterization of the expression pattern and role of the YB-1 gene in early hematopoiesis and leukemia. YB-1 and Hsp90, another gene studied by Dr. Sollars, comprise a new arena of cancer therapeutic targets that offer a lot of promise. Jasjeet Bhullar was the primary author of the paper.
To learn more about the exciting biomedical research being performed by Dr. Sollars and other professors at the Marshall University Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program and the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, please visit the Marshall University Nutrition and Cancer Center website.

Copenhagen: The end is near… or is that nigh?
It looks like a deal has been made. It's just after 10pm now Copenhagen time and it's emerged that the 28 most powerful nations – known as the constellation group – have forged a deal, aimed at curbing global temperature rises to 2 degrees Celsius. (more…)

We delighted to announce that on the 29th March 2011, we've purchased an additional stretch of the River Wye to support the first piece up at Bridge Sollars. So now we're able to boast not only a fabulous mile on the River Teme, but also brilliant river fishing North and South of Hereford on the beautiful and profilic River Wye.
Dave Harrell coaching feedback page which confirms how great our stretch is: http://www.daveharrellangling.com/coaching
These two fantastic, prolific and beautiful parts of River Wye fishing are exclusive fishing rights for Docklow Pools residents and members only. There are no matches or day tickets. Its soul purpose or purchase if you like is for Docklow anglers to come and enjoy….and we know you will. Not only have there been great catches yet also returns to say how much they enjoyed the easy parking, comfortable access and the sheer peace and quiet of the Herefordshire countryside.
In the winter time, a weekend B&B stay is quiet popular for anglers looking to do some "trotting" or piking even. Docklows Rotherwas stretch has had pike photographed and recorded up to 28lbs although up stream in Hereford town part they can go bigger still. And thats only meters away. At Lulham, that lovely piece of water regularly has produced the goods over the last 15 years or so on big pike, as shown below.
In season (June 16th onwards), the River Wye fishing is now one of the most sort after rivers in the country, taking over from the Severn and Avon. Both Rotherwas and Lulham have been excellent for barbel. Lots of them, great condition and good sizes too. The one thing we wont apologies for is the fight they give…..so many anglers have said afterwards that a Wye barbel are so strong and the resistance is incredible. Only you know the answer to that…..
Great for some winter piking and River Wye Fishing…..
- River Wye – 24lb 14oz Pike
13th February 2012 – River Wye, Rotherwas, Hereford
Stretch One: Rotherwas, Hereford
Our River fishing is for our weekly permit residents and River members of Docklow Pools. No day tickets or matches. Ask for details. http://www.docklowpools.com/docklow-membership.php
Also doing River Breaks with Dave Harrell -see www.docklowpools.com/Riverbreaks-daveharrell.php
Stretch Two – Preston on Wye.
John & Mike – 2009 showing the youngsters (Jonathan!) how to catch Barbel!
River Wye fishing offers a great variety of inhabitants including chub, roach, dace, bream, pike, salmon and trout. It is also rumored that there is also the odd pearch and carp coming out of the river.
August 2011
Why not come down to Docklow for a few days Pike fishing in the winter?
Docklow Pools offers B&B accomodation for groups and limited cottage accomodation for couples throughout the winter. Have a few days staying in our accomodation with the luxury of fishing the river wye or any of our 8 lakes. We are able to do short rver fishing breaks from October through to April

Two of downtown Buffalo's prominent developers – and parking lot owners – sparred Wednesday over public parking in the city, highlighting a debate about whether artificially low-cost parking induces development or just encourages more people to drive rather than use public transportation.
Carl Paladino, founder and chairman of Ellicott Development Co., and Mark D. Croce, a restaurateur who also owns Statler City, argued across a long conference table at the monthly Buffalo Place board meeting about the city's current parking policies.
They also attacked each other for conflicts of interest that they said exposed selfish intentions. Both own parking lots as well as multiple buildings with tenants who need parking. Paladino is the largest property owner in the city, while Croce owns parking lot operator Pay2Park.
Paladino said the city suffers from a shortage of parking spots and called for a board resolution to urge the city to build more parking ramps. He noted that it takes about three years to plan and build a new ramp.
"We need to impact City Hall and say we need more municipal parking," he said. "We have to have safe, convenient downtown parking. We can't seem to get City Hall motivated. We need more ramps."
Croce immediately responded by saying the problem isn't the access to parking but the low subsidized parking prices, particularly at ramps owned by the city but run by Buffalo Civic Auto Ramps, or BCAR, a nonprofit organization owned and operated by "downtown business interests" that acts under contract as an agent of the city to manage 10 major downtown public parking ramps and lots.
As a result of the cheap prices, everyone who works downtown drives and parks separately instead of carpooling or using public transportation, so the lots and ramps fill up. In turn, that affects not just downtown businesses and residents but also tourism.
"There are parking ramps scattered throughout the city. The problem is the prices," Croce said.
"Because of the pricing and the subsidy, we've filled every parking spot because it's too cheap."
According to a report presented to the Buffalo Place board Wednesday, the lots on the edge of downtown were as much as half-empty, but those in the center of downtown were often 90 percent full or more.
Croce took special aim at BCAR; Paladino is a board member of the organization that has run the parking ramps since it was established in 1954. "BCAR is the biggest travesty to downtown development," Croce said. "It's not the city's job to build more parking for developers... We can't build a parking ramp on every corner."
BCAR ramps charge between $60 and $97 for regular monthly permits and $1.50 to $2 per hour. Pay2Park, which operates 24 lots, charges about $75 to $120. Allpro Parking, with 24 lots and three ramps, charges $40 to $130. Ellicott Development has five lots and one ramp, and charges $110 to $130.
"It shouldn't be the city's responsibility to subsidize private building owners," Croce said, noting that BCAR pays no taxes.
Croce said raising parking prices will encourage more people to use alternatives and will free up spaces for those who need them, while at the same time benefiting those private lot owners who stand to make more money.
Paladino returned fire, saying BCAR has "never used one city dollar" but has "always been self-sufficient," even providing money for the city budget. "Buffalo Civic provides a service to all the taxpayers of downtown Buffalo," he said. "Parking should not be a private business here. We have to compete with suburban [business] parks that give free parking as part of the rent. If we can do that and put more money into city coffers, the way to do that is through building more ramps."
Croce said conventions would benefit from raising parking prices. With the parking ramps and many lots full during the day, Visit Buffalo Niagara is unable to attract or serve daytime conventions, he said. "How many conventions has [VBN President] Dottie [Gallagher-Cohen] lost because of that?" he asked.
Following the debate, Buffalo Place Chairman Keith Belanger opted to "dust off" a study from several years ago, get new input and try to find common ground – but at another time. "And thus, the reason we don't have a particular position on this," he joked.

I don't love Meryl's dress either but the program is exquisite. They really are developing as a team.
I don't love Meryl's dress either but the program is exquisite. They really are developing as a team.
Davis&White - well that was impressive. They are so light on their feet, so fast (yes, I know they are know for it) and precise. It seems to me like it is high season and it is their first competition. Polka part was in the last part of the program. very very impressive!
Ok i got to say something not very pc, but in the stands there's this man that keeps eating popcorn but he rarely watches the skating lol
I love the program from Davis and White. Love the difficulty. I don't mind the dress at all. I do think Meryl will probably be tweaking the hair throughout the year. The bun is great but the way it frames her face doesn't quite work for me.
Ok that was magical. D/W's skating seems fresher somehow.
Who's the guy in the Kiss & Cry along with Meryl, Charlie, and Marina Zoueva?
So excited for Meryl and Charlie. They are always so much fun to watch. B/S showed much improvement as Tanith noted, and W/P relate so well together and tell a story. For me Meryl and Charlie took it up a notch. High of the night for the SD! Very fitting that they skated last.
ITA dots!
Well, I'm maybe the online one, but I didn't like Meryl and Charlie a lot: they seemed a bit slower than how they usually are, and the whole program didn't excite me a lot... But, their twizzles are always perfect and their footwork is just superbe! Good program, not a masterpiece for me. (I know that it's early to say this etc. )
Thank goodness I got back in time to watch W/P and D/W (missed the rest ). I really enjoyed both teams and programs. Can't wait to hear from all the experts and those watching it live.
Being with zhulin was definitely supposed to mean higher pcs for b/s and they are behind w/p there. Both pcs and Tes. So far a failure.
I LOVE D\W sd!So exquisite
I thought that Bobrova and Soloviev were a bit undermarked compared to Weaver and Poje. I felt like Davis and White were very much overmarked. I thought that they shouldn't have broken 70, but then again, it's their home event. Excited for the FD though.

Chrysler, GM and the Future of Chapter 11
Edward R. Morrison
Columbia Law School
December 30, 2009
Columbia Law and Economics Research Paper No. 365
Although they caused great controversy, the Chrysler and GM bankruptcies broke no new ground. They invoked procedures that are commonly observed in modern Chapter 11 reorganization cases. Government involvement did not distort the bankruptcy process; it instead exposed the reality that Chapter 11 offers secured creditors - especially those that supply financing during the bankruptcy case - control over the fate of distressed firms. Because the federal government supplied financing in the Chrysler and GM cases, it possessed the creditor control normally exercised by private lenders. The Treasury Department found itself with virtually the same, unchecked power that the FDIC exercises with respect to failing banks. The Chrysler and GM bankruptcies are cautionary tales about Chapter 11, not about government intervention. It may be time to entertain longstanding proposals for reforming the reorganization process.

It is possible that the main title of the report Ivemark Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.

General Discussion
Ivemark syndrome is a rare disorder that affects multiple organ systems of the body. It is characterized by the absence (asplenia) or underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the spleen, malformations of the heart and the abnormal arrangement of the internal organs of the chest and abdomen. The symptoms of Ivemark syndrome can vary greatly depending upon the specific abnormalities present. Many infants have symptoms associated with abnormalities affecting the heart including bluish discoloration to the skin due to a lack of oxygen in the blood (cyanosis), heart murmurs, and signs of congestive heart failure. Ivemark syndrome often causes life-threatening complications during infancy. The exact cause of Ivemark syndrome is not known.
The medical terminology used to describe Ivemark syndrome and related disorders is extremely complicated and confusing. Ivemark syndrome is classified as a heterotaxy disorder or a laterality disorder. These terms refer to the failure of the internal organs of the chest and abdomen to be arranged in the proper location within the body. Additional terms used when discussing Ivemark syndrome may include situs solitus (which refers to the normal positioning of these organs); situs inversus (which refers to the complete reversal of the organs so that those normally on the left side are on the right and vice versa); and situs ambiguous (which refers to the random positioning of the organs, with some in the correct place and others in the wrong location). Ivemark syndrome is usually referred to as a specific form of situs ambiguous.

It appears that we are indebted to our good neighbors in West Virginia for the celebration of both Mother's Day and Father's Day.
Mother's Day began May 10, 1908 when a West Virginia daughter decided to honor her late mother by organizing a church service.
Dr. Robert Webb of West Virginia is believed to have conducted the first Father's Day service in 1908 at the Central Church of Fairmont.
A Spokane, Wash. woman also played a part in getting people to observe Father's Day throughout the nation. Sonora Smart Dodd was listening to a Mother's Day sermon, at the Spokane Central Methodist Episcopal Church when she was inspired to have a special day dedicated to her father, who had raised Sonora and her siblings alone after her mother's death. She chose her father's birthday, June 19, to honor him and all fathers.
Even though Father's Day isn't greeted with the touching sentiments used to celebrate Mother's Day, it has indeed become a national day to remember our dads.
He may not get all of the attention we lavish on Mom on her day, but be sure to let your father know how much you appreciate him today.
Take him fishing, golfing, out to eat at his favorite restaurant or at least visit him or give him a call. Dads may not show it, but they appreciate the attention as much as moms do.

Re: Date Kimiko Return!
Great news KDK fans!,Kimiko has successfuly undergone left knee meniscus surgery on April 21 in Kobe University hospital.From her blog Kimiko says She will be discharged tommorow,and is very relieved the surgery was a success and is over.Kimiko will be back in Tokyo rehab soon.Wishing her a speedy but full recovery,and hoping She will back out there in a few months time.I guessed She would have the surgery [second],Kimiko still loves competing and doesn't want to retire yet,so hoping She can be out there pain free and not putting more stress and damage on her body.......... get well soon KDK...

Thx for the update! This is so sad, doesn't look likely that she will be back, but she has nothing to prove at this point. Respect.

Oh that's sad, I'm still really hoping for a miracle cure for her, but she's inspired a lot of people in her comeback career regardless of what happens now.

Re: Date Kimiko Return!
she's been such an inspiration to everyone who loves the sport
a pity she had so many close losses and bad draws , but she also had so many amazing moments in this fantastic comeback !
if this were to be the end ... she could be oh so proud of herself
good luck with any decision she makes

Re: Date Kimiko Return!
Poor Kimiko...Pity all these injuries may be the way She retires again...I guess She will recover fro this procedure first,then decide....I woudn't be suprised if She has the meniscus done .She still seems very keen to compete and play matches.Just a shame her body seems to have other ideas and is breaking down.If anyone can make a comeback I think Kimiko can do it..... Time will tell what her decision will be..Hope She gets a good rest in,and comes back stronger.
|Feb 23rd, 2016 07:18 AM
|Sad way to end perhaps but at her age her its always a chance her body will break down. Therefore unless she has another surgery she cant play properly it seems, so will she do this and try and comeback again OR retire?

it really sounds her career is finished..

Re: Date Kimiko Return!
English translation from her facebook page:
<Kimiko's blog (summary) dated Feb. 21>
Im sorry for the delay in reporting to everyone, but I had a surgery on Feb. 16th as originally scheduled.
I went into the hospital the day before the surgery and was released the day after. It was an endoscopic surgery under a total anesthesia. The surgery merely took 30 to 40 minutes. It began at 2:00 pm and I was already awake by 3:30 pm.
Im now at home. The pain is almost gone and I am recovering day-by-day to the point that I hardly use the crutches.
I started the rehab the day after I got out of the hospital.
My surgeon was Dr. Akiyoshi Saito, an orthopedist specializing in the field of sports injury of the knee.
Originally, I was supposed to get suture meniscal, but after he viewed my knee with an endoscope, I was told that the condition was worse than expected. The outer left knee cartilage was totally worn out. Some floating particles were found, so they were removed. At this time, the doctor decided not to do the suture meniscal surgery and as a result, I ended up having my knee cleansed.
According to the doctors explanation, complete recovery to the athlete level will be very difficult now. In order to return to the life of a professional player, another surgery would be necessary. And even if I chose not to resume the life of an athlete, participating in competitive sports will still be difficult.
If I were to get another operation, it would be inevitable to take some time before making a comeback. I have been thinking about the choices I have.
Kimiko Date-Krumm as an athlete or Kimiko Date-Krumm as a person who loves sports these are my choices and I would like to delve into this issue to make the best decision for my future.

Kimiko got news from her MRI,She has a torn meniscs in the left knee...Kimiko's blog was nice to read,She thought about retirement immediately,and guessed the AO qualies would be her last GS,singles anyway...She decided to undergo endoscopic surgery on the left knee,She stated it was her first OP in her tennis life,but Said She still wants to compete and loves the tour,and this will be her last big challenge as an athlete...Kimiko says The days were She is able to compete 100% and pain free are very few,even with the surgery there is no guarantee of pain free tennis,but She want's to give it a go...Kimiko hopes to be straight into rehab following surgery and competing again.....Kimiko says She is unsure when She will play again,but want's support .........
Really hoping Kimiko's surgery is a success and it will help her with pain free tennis,I guess we have enjoyed her 2nd comeback for 7 or 8 years now,But it is evident Kimiko's herat is still in tennis ,but her body's age is catching up abit now,making her prone t more injuries and pain...Comeback soon Kimiko,She will get PR anyway i guess..

6 Supposedly Fun Activities Nobody Actually Enjoys
It's a cold and lonely world we live in. That holds even truer if you live somewhere that actually gets cold during the winter months, when ice, snow and freezing temperatures lead to a massive downturn in time spent in the company of others. Your friend's bullshit might fly when the sun is out and the skies are clear, but driving through life-threatening road conditions to deal with his tomfoolery is out of the question. It's probably best to just stay in and watch TV and counter his invitation to meet for dinner by inviting him to go fuck himself.
Finally, though, the cold weather is starting to subside and people are looking for any and every excuse they can come up with to wrangle up a group of friends and hit the great outdoors. With very few exceptions, the activities these friends will gather to partake in are unspeakably stupid and boring. But, hey, at least it's not snowing. Because we're all so beaten down by the winter months, come spring and summer, we'll pretend to enjoy just about anything as long as it gives us an excuse to not be holed up inside.
For example ...
#6. Parades
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying parades are exclusively a warm weather activity. What I am saying, though, is fuck a parade. Maybe the St. Patrick's Day Parade is a good time, but I suspect that's only because people are too hammered to realize how terribly boring it is to watch grown men walk around in skirts while cops and firemen goosestep down Fifth Avenue.
But that's just one example. There are countless cities and towns throughout this great land that use the return of warm weather as an excuse to put on a "parade." I put that word in quotes because what this usually amounts to is watching pimply faced band geeks from the local high school drum and fife corps slaughter whatever 20-year-old pop tune their teacher had stuck in his or her head at the start of the semester. Or, even worse, you just get a bunch of conceited dicks mistakenly believing they're so important that people are lining the streets just to catch a glimpse of them waving from the backseat of a convertible. Rest assured, Captain Fantastic, nobody gives two shits about you or your spot on the board of the local Chamber of Commerce.
Nobody interesting works here.
If you were stuck in traffic behind someone driving 3 mph and waving at everyone on the sidewalk, you'd be on your smartphone Googling the legal ramifications of smashing a person's rear window out with a tire iron. But because your local city council hung up some banners and calls that exact same situation a "parade" you all of a sudden can't get enough? Now watching someone drive at the speed of snail and listening to shitty marching band music merits fighting your way through a crowd just to find a nice spot to stand on the dirty concrete and bake in the scorching hot sun?
No, you still hate it, but all of those months of cold weather have you so desperate for an excuse to be outside that you'll take whatever you can get. That in no way changes the fact that the last time a long line of cars moving slowly through the community was even remotely interesting was when Kennedy was assassinated. Now that was an interesting parade. Unless the parade you're at has a series of strategically placed Lee Harvey Oswalds taking shots at the participants, it's just a bunch of assholes driving slowly, and nobody loves that.
#5. Movies in the Park
People love the word "free." The promise of enjoying something free of charge that you normally have to pay for is a surefire way to get people to leave their homes. After years of searching, that is all I can come up with to explain the appeal of movies in the park.
If you don't know what I'm talking about, scan your local newspaper's "events" section. Without fail, you'll see that some local organization is hosting a series of movies in the park. They're exactly what they sound like. People gather in the park, sit on the dirty and inevitably wet ground and watch a 5-year-old movie on the lowest-definition screen that money can buy.
It should go without saying that any standard rules of movie-going behavior fly out the window when you're watching that movie in the great outdoors. If you talk in a movie theater, you're a pariah, but that dynamic is reversed when you're watching a free movie in the park. If you can even hear a movie above the chaotic din of a park full of people yammering about their pointless concerns, you're blessed with superhuman hearing and should be abducted by the government so they can study your DNA to see if it offers any hope for curing hearing loss in the future and/or can be weaponized to fight terrorism.
It's not like they have anything else to do.
The people talking will only be a minor irritant compared to the throngs of children that irresponsible parents will allow to run roughshod over every inch of the park, though. It's not enough that these children have destroyed their parents' dreams, but now they've been dispatched to ruin your night out as well, and they will stop at nothing to do it.
Look, I get that going to an actual theater is quite possibly the most fiscally irresponsible decision a person can make, but that's what Netflix and the Internet are for. If you're really that desperate to enjoy your cinematic adventures in the company of ants and mosquitoes, just buy a projector and point it at the side of your garage or something. That movies in the park shit is for the birds (who probably also hate it).
#4. WaveRunners
I know it seems like I'm coming out of left field with this one. WaveRunners are like baby speedboats -- what could possibly be the problem with that? I guess the answer to that would be "Nothing," provided you put absolutely no value on how enjoyable your weekends are. Granted, if you've never been on a WaveRunner, it probably looks like the best time a person could have until we finally get our jet packs. But shell out the absurd amount of money required to purchase one and then tell me how you feel about that investment.
Think about it for a second -- a WaveRunner is basically a boat stripped of the following things:
- Room for friends
- Room for booze
- The ability to tow shit
- Any hope of looking cool
Yep, I said it. Nobody looks cool on a WaveRunner. You might think you do, but what you really look like is a man in the midst of a midlife crisis. Even you, ladies. You do understand why Kenny Powers is constantly whipping around on a WaveRunner on the HBO series Eastbound & Down, right?
It's not because WaveRunners look awesome. It's because the only people who enjoy them are testosterone-riddled tools who think having a floating Rascal scooter between their legs and a pair of Oakleys around their face will help them score with the ladies. Everyone else sees WaveRunners for what they really are, which is completely and totally boring.
And don't give me any "Hey, man, you're wrong, there's room for friends on a WaveRunner" nonsense. If the other person has to put his arms around your waist while you ride, he isn't enjoying himself. It's called "riding bitch" for a reason.

Although the Davos Klosters snow sports arena can be very busy and crowded, there are also some very tranquil spots here as well. The village of Monbiel is just such an oasis of peace. Located in the municipality of Klosters, it is the highest year-round inhabited settlement in the Prättigau. Even today, this Walser village has a distinctly rural atmosphere. To get to Monbiel, catch the bus from Klosters. The narrow road into the valley is car-free in the winter and is only used by hikers – and by nostalgic horse-drawn sleighs. The cleared winter hiking trail ascends gently to the Alp Pardenn before continuing on to the Alp Garfiun. The final section before the mountain hut is somewhat steeper. Here you are rewarded with a magnificent panorama and the chance to fortify yourself at the cosy mountain restaurant. Return to Monbiel either on foot along the hiking trail or by horse-drawn sleigh. And if you still wish to extend your hike, the trail continues to Klosters.

Martinsburg assessed $15,830 in fines for not complying with plant's permit
April 9, 2013
MARTINSBURG — The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is fining the City of Martinsburg $15,830 for violations of the city's permit to operate a wastewater treatment plant....
Martinsburg fined for producing too much crap. Now there's a revelation.

Major, I am beginning to isolate your purpose and daily mission. That is, to support all "city officials" no matter what incompetence, tragedy, or fiscal nightmares they deliver.
3 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
WOW!!!!!! No wonder you want to raise our taxes on water/sewer because the City new a fine was coming due to incompetence by the City and Knipe. Let him pay the fines, he won't make the same paperwork mistake again, just fire him and all involved, but you want to give city employees a raise on the taxpayers backs. Enough is enough.
3 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Geez, wrong forms? Then he should pay the fine or be fired for incompetence. Maybe I will tell the city police next time I had the wrong insurance card in my vehicle as the new one is on my computer. You think the the taxpayers will pay my fine? This is pure incompetence or arrogance by city officials that will now cost taxpayers.

If you have ever floated down the Opequon Creek from Rt.45 to the mouth at the river you would know something is wrong. Very little wildlife habitats that area, lack of turtles, fish, water fowl and at some places the odor is very bad.

BELLWOOD - The Tyrone wrestling team got bad news Thursday when it found out junior Jared Beckwith, a returning state qualifier, was injured in a morning automobile accident.
Still, the Golden Eagles, who had to forfeit Beckwith's spot at 182 pounds, held a 17-point lead over rival Bellwood-Antis going into the final four weights.
The Blue Devils, however, won those last four weights, including Jeremy Wilson's key 3-0 win over Nick Getz at 152, to secure a 38-35 win Thursday night.

Bellwood-Antis' Nick Torsell cradles Tyrone's Jacob Damon during the Blue Devils' win Thursday.
"I feel really good," B-A coach Ron Wilson said. "It's a tough break for [Tyrone]. They had one of the better kids out tonight. I know our kids are thinking about him. I hope he gets better and returns real fast."
"I thought we wrestled as well as we could have wrestled tonight," Packer said. "Bellwood just had a little more firepower tonight. This epitomizes that it's a team sport. It takes everybody in the lineup. It isn't a one-man show, that's for sure."
Beckwith, Packer said, suffered a kidney injury when his car hit a patch of black ice while getting on Route 99 at the Bald Eagle exit, and he was taken to the Altoona Regional Trauma Center. Packer didn't know how long he would be hospitalized or the extent of the injury.
"They at least wanted to keep him for a 24-hour watch," Packer said.
"When I heard that, I was real sad," Tyrone 195-pounder D.J. Wunder said. "I kind of took myself out of class. I thought he was real hurt, at first. I just really hope he gets better. I'll be praying for him. He's my best friend on the wrestling team."
The meet actually started at 182 pounds, where B-A's Bruce Knisely picked up a forfeit. After Wunder, who, like Beckwith, is second in the Mirror rankings, pinned Ethan Hunter in 47 seconds, B-A's Keith Shawley won by forfeit.
Tyrone's Dakota Walk moved up to 285 and pinned Ryan Boslough in 1:47. There was no bout at 106, and the teams traded forfeits at 113 and 120 to B-A's Justin Grassmyer and Tyrone's Ty Snyder, respectively, leaving the score at 18-18.
The Eagles won the next three weights. At 126, Jason Schopp rang up a 17-0 technical fall over Josh Wilson. And then Aleic Hunter and Luke McCloskey recorded pins at 132 and 138, respectively, giving Tyrone a 35-18 lead.
"We just got Hunter back from a knee injury," Packer said. "He was coming off of an MRI he got done today. Pins by those two actually kept us close."
"We gave up way too many bonus points," Ron Wilson said. "We just can't get pinned. But, that's an experience thing."
B-A's Zack Mock started the comeback with a 20-4 technical fall over William Sessamen in 4:49 at 145. Jeremy Wilson, a sophomore and the son of the coach, broke a scoreless tie with Getz in the third period with an escape, and then he countered a Getz shot for a takedown.
"Jeremy's been wrestling really well," Coach Wilson said. "I think he's won 11 out of his last 12 matches. He's been some pretty decent kids. Tonight was a good, quality win. He's a come a long way, and we're really pleased with the progress."
"I thought Wilson wrestled a smart match," Packer said.
With the Eagles holding a 35-28 lead and Mike Decker set to pick up a forfeit win at 170, B-A's second-ranked 160-pounder Nick Torsell built a 10-0 lead on Jacob Damon before putting Damon on his back again. The end came in 5:09.
"I was real happy with Nick going out there and wrestling," Coach Wilson said. "Nick has been solid for us for a few years now, and we're glad we'll have him back next year.
"We have a pretty young team. We only have one senior in the lineup. Most of these kids wrestled in junior high last year, so it looks good for the future."
The series between the rivals, once dominated by Tyrone, has gone B-A's way two of the last three years. Both have losing records this season, but it's still Tyrone-B-A.
"Like I said to the kids before the match, 'This is Tyrone. I shouldn't have to say anything to you,'" Coach Wilson said. "If you can't get up for this kind of match, then you're not going to be able to.
"It hits close to home for me too because I teach down there, and I see a lot of these kids. This is the one night when I'm not rooting real hard for their kids to do real well also."
182-Knisely, BA, won by forfeit; 195-Wunder, T, pinned Hunter, :47; 220-Shawley, BA, won by forfeit; 285-Walk, T, pinned Boslough, 1:47; 106-No bout; 113-Grassmyer, BA, won by forfeit; 120-Snyder, T, won by forfeit.
126-Schopp, T, tech. fall Jo. Wilson, 17-0, 5:59; 132-Hunter, T, pinned Waite, 1:46; 138-McCloskey, T, pinned Dicken, 2:51; 145-Mock, BA, tech. fall Sessamen, 20-4, 4:49; 152-Je. Wilson, BA, dec. Getz, 3-0; 160-Torsell, BA, pinned Damon, 5:09; 170-Decker, BA, won by forfeit.
Records: Tyrone (3-16); Bellwood-Antis (6-11).

"Shark Tech: Tracking Hidden Hunters of the Deep"
Abstract: The ocean is a concealing environment, hiding the daily lives of its inhabitants from our view. For us to learn about the natural behaviors of secretive marine animals, we need a way to unveil what is happening beneath the surface and beyond our sight. Recent decades have seen the development of a variety of sophisticated, electronic devices that can be attached to sharks and other marine animals to observe different aspects of their daily lives, and provide biologists with new insights into their behavior. Join us to find out how HIMB scientists use technology to study sharks, and what they have discovered.

Click the link for daily surf reports presented by Nichols Surf Shop, 411 Flagler Ave., New Smyrna Beach
NSBNews.net photos by Sera Frederick / On the drawing boards for five years-plus, the proposed Hampton Inn & Suites is the new reality for historic Flagler Avenue in New Smyrna Beach. The developer is South Carolina-based David Swentor (with hand out to the drawing) shown here with CRA Director Tony Otte during a public hearing earlier this year.
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Residents soon will see the beginning of the first significant hotel development in the City in more than 20 years. Developers of the Hampton Inn Hotel on Flagler Avenue are expecting to break ground on the project in the next few weeks.
"After nearly five years of meetings and public hearings, we're excited to have a new hotel coming to New Smyrna Beach," said New Smyrna Beach Mayor Adam Barringer.
"The project will serve as an economic generator in the short term with construction jobs and in the long term with the travelers expected to stay here. We anticipate this hotel will exceed the expectations for occupancy."
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Susie Bruner put into perspective the true meaning of the 15th annual New Smyrna Beach Holiday Charity Ball.

Bring choice to your personal kitchen or professional break room with these blenders and food processors. You can use these to create fresh dishes for lunch or breaks even without a full kitchen or microwave. These take up little space, so you don't have to sacrifice counter or storage space.
Take Creations on the Go
Use blenders to create tasty smoothies, sauces, and soups. Many of these blender options include travel cups that attach to the base then easily detach. With these, you can take your snack or meal with you back to your desk instead of dirtying another dish, saving you time and reducing waste. These blenders feature multiple settings to give you precise control.
Pair With Other Kitchen Appliances
Food processors are a perfect pairing for other kitchen appliances, such as microwaves and stoves. These chop or slice materials instead of creating a smooth blend, making them perfect for salsa or preparing vegetables for a salad. Keep a food processor handy to quickly and efficiently process large amounts of foods for recipes. Food processors typically have a larger capacity than blenders, so they are a good option for making bulk recipes.
Save Space
When space is very limited, opt instead for a hand mixer. These mixers take up no counter space and can be stored in a drawer or cabinet along with other small kitchen items, such as silverware. Hand mixers give you more control when mixing because you can put the end of the mixer exactly where it needs to be. This lets you target specific areas of your mixture that need more mixing or blending.

Telugu SMS Application Software Launched
By Express News Service - HYDERABAD
Published: 31st December 2013 08:28 AM
Last Updated: 31st December 2013 08:28 AM
Telugu-speaking people can greet their dear and near ones in Telugu through SMS from their mobile phones to wish them a happy new year, as the state government has launched the unique 'Telugu Mata' to make it possible.
Not just the greetings for new year, SMSes and e-mails from smart phones can be done in Telugu language henceforth with the application 'Telugu Mata', which can be downloaded for free from the website - www.teluguvijayam.org.
Launching the unique mobile application here on Monday, information technology minister Ponnala Lakshmaiah described it as a landmark achievement.
"It will not just enable the people to send their messages in Telugu but, in future, can also prove to be a job-giver to those who are not well versed in English. Most importantly, it will improve intra-personal communication through mobile phones, given that more than 5 crore out of 8.4 crore people in the state utilise mobile phones," he said. State Official Language Commission chairman Mandali Buddha Prasad, who received the first message from Ponnala in Telugu using the 'Telugu Mata' application, said that efforts were now on to have all the government websites in Telugu.
Typing in Telugu on mobile phone using the application is quite easy and one can master it fast to send the messages at much faster rates. It will help in sending the message to those who are unable to understand English and had to depend on others knowing that language to understand the SMSes they received on their mobiles so far.
Telugu Mata application can be downloaded into all Android phones, tablets, I-phone, I-pad and efforts are on for a version for other phones as well. The state government, which has taken the permanent membership of the Unicode Consortium, has already introduced 21 unicode fonts under Telugu Vijayam project. English-Telugu digital dictionary, word analysis, Telugu thesaurus, other language dictionaries, and Telugu grammar for children among others were also introduced under this project. Efforts are being made to see the increased use of Telugu on the Internet, he said.

Where's Nara's House?Wondering where this college girl's house is? If you haven't heard, Nara is in the process of obtaining a Fencl to live in for her last semester of school. Her plans have been delayed ever so slightly, but she's keeping strong. Read about her initial process here, and find out about how black ice, blizzards, and mandatory driving bans can be small impediments to tiny house transport below.
Last Friday, I learned one important thing about a housewarming: you need a house. Upon failing to produce one of those despite a good deal of self-promotion, I felt a little something like ashamed. "Is it so tiny I can't see it?" asked my supportive friends. A very patient staff stood by day after day, while I postponed the Facebook event not once, but thrice.
But it just so happens that when other things aren't warm, like say the roads in Ohio, pretty much anything can go wrong. In other words, some pesky black ice led to a minor hiccup with my house delivery. After already being behind schedule, the waiting game continued through the weekend as the trailer awaited repair some hundreds of miles away. Finally, I got word that it would arrive by the end of that week. And then....
A blizzard hit the East Coast.
A lovely Saturday morning view
Yup. We got slammed. As much as I want to say "just my luck," I have enough life experience (and access to news channels) to realize that I'm far from being the only poor soul affected by bad weather conditions, and that ultimately my tiny house woes are very, well, tiny. I'm glad to be warm, safe, and kind of well fed.
As some of you may have heard, this whole state-wide driving ban thing led to a bummer of a weekend for everyone planning on attending the Tumbleweed workshop. Several Californians flew out on Thursday only to be cooped up in a hotel for a long weekend. I myself drove up from Western Massachusetts in the early hours of the snowstorm to find a ghost town. And most importantly, my apologies to all of the would-be-attendees.
On the plus side, all this time lounging around in a king sized bed has certainly given me the opportunity to think things over.
What can you do? Watch HBO, I guess.
It's hard to have things that directly affect you be entirely out of your control. I've come to peace with it, for the most part, but I won't deny that I've been going through a little bit of emotional turmoil. It's been over two weeks since I expected a delivery, and I still don't know when I'll see the house!
I'm learning everyday that it's important to be flexible, and it's an amazing source of comfort to have a network of friends that will help you out. I will have squatted with my dear friends in Northampton, rent-free, for exactly a month. They've been incredibly patient and supportive, even if they think they're entitled to all of my groceries. I guess it's fair: my backpacks and suitcases have lined the living room wall, half unpacked, day in and day out, and my ferret has been eating everybody's headphones.
Wreaking havoc on personal electronics AND personal relationships
But as all of the older, wiser folks in my life have told me, it's a part of the experience. My mom's number one piece of comfort for me in darker days has always been "it will give you something to write about." So here I am, writing about it. (That said, my first attempt at 'writing about it', during which I was seeing red and occasionally punching the table, would probably make my mom disown me.)
The reality is, it's no one's fault. These things happen, and there's a certain risk involved in pulling any kind of trailer when the roads are icy- I knew that at the beginning. I appreciate the work of all of those involved, like the truck driver who went through hell and still sent me a very sweet apology note.
This is not so much a lesson about transporting tiny houses as it is about remaining patient. It's not the end of the world. It's important to keep weather in mind when you're attempting to transport a small house in the winter- just ask Molly- but it's also not inevitable that something will go wrong. You just have to keep your chin up, and be grateful that a better future is on it's way, storm or no storm.
Thanks for your patience, everyone, and thanks for being so understanding about the workshop cancellation- we'll make it up to you!
More soon,

Lighting a fire under summerPosted Tuesday, May 31, 2011, at 9:36 PM
My cousin Bryan and two of his friends celebrated their birthdays and Memorial Day with quite the bonfire Sunday evening. Can you guess which one is my cousin?
Actually, I'm blaming my cousin Bryan for this. His way of celebrating Memorial Day included the 11th largest fire I've ever seen. (Keep in mind, I grew up helping burn swaths of switch grass and we've also been known to have brush pile burnings on our acreage. What I'm saying is this fire was impressive, as you can see from the photo.)
I won't say what was being burned, but there was a member of the Sierra Club standing by, so you can be assured that everything was legit. (If not, maybe that's why they call it "global warming"?)
Either way, the tactic worked.
Bonfires and summer just go together.
That ranks right up there on my list of things to do, especially if it accompanies camping.
It's funny because I grew up camping in a camper, but I feel like I was kind of robbed of the "roughing it" experience back then. Now, I'd prefer to tent or even sleep under the stars. (Though I'm sure that will change as I get older and my back and joints get achier.)
Speaking of stars, what's better than stargazing? Whether they're "falling" or not, there's not much better than throwing down a quilt on a hill and/or secluded area and checking out what's going on in the heavens?
So, those are a few of my favorite (summer) things. Of course, barbecuing and enjoying the Lakes are high on the list. Actually, I don't think I have rankings.
Summer is great.
What's the greatest thing about it or the greatest thing to do during it?

This policy framework charts a collaborative path forward for applying digital information or 'smart grid' technologies to the nation's electricity infrastructure to facilitate the integration of renewable sources of power into the grid; help accommodate the growing number of electric vehicles; help avoid blackouts and restore power quicker when outages occur; and reduce the need for new power plants.

Frank J. Manzella, an artist and entertainer who performed under the name Frankie Mann, died unexpectedly Monday in his Amherst home. He was 84.
Born in South Buffalo, Mr. Manzella demonstrated his talents as an artist and a singer at a very young age.
"His kindergarten teacher told him he didn't have to take a nap if he wanted to draw because he was so good," his daughter Rossana "Rusty" Droz said.
She added that he also began singing as a boy when he was shining shoes in taverns, then was invited to sing with bands.
He graduated from Hutchinson-Central High School and served in the Army with the occupation forces in Japan.
Returning from service, he found work as a commercial artist but was unhappy with the deadline pressures. Instead, he went to work for American Standard as an assembler, retiring in 1990.
Mr. Manzella continued his artistic pursuits as a painter, creating hundreds of oil paintings, watercolors and pastels, many of them depicting wildlife.
His action portraits of Buffalo Bills and Sabres players in the 1970s were exhibited in Eastern Hills Mall. His paintings of military aircraft are on display in the Niagara Aerospace Museum. A member of the Williamsville Art Society, he had paintings in numerous art shows and galleries.
As Frankie Mann, a stand-up bassist and singer in the style of Frank Sinatra, he appeared with trios and big bands in cocktail lounges and supper clubs throughout the Buffalo area and in Southern Ontario for more than five decades.
He was a regular performer for many years at the Big Apple Supper Club in Cheektowaga and Salvatore's Italian Gardens in Lancaster.
His wife of 56 years, Rose M. Marfoglia Manzella, died in 2011.
Survivors include another daughter, Anna Schibler.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10:30 a.m. Saturday in St. Gregory the Great Catholic Church, 200 St. Gregory Court at Maple Road, Amherst.

MARTINSBURG - Martinsburg Planning Commission members unanimously approved the site plan for a new McDonald's restaurant in the Old Courthouse Square shopping center at the Courthouse Drive entrance off Edwin Miller Boulevard despite misgivings by several
"Until there's an accident, it's OK," Reenie Raines said. "I would hate to see something happen and we did not do something, that we could not have been proactive."

Journal photo by John McVey
Traffic uses the entrance from Edwin Miller Boulevard into the Old Courthouse Square shopping center, where a new McDonald's restaurant with double drive-through windows is planned.
She and other members were concerned about the problems that might be caused by the additional traffic generated by the McDonald's at that intersection.
Traffic was discussed at great length when a sketch site plan - a preliminary stage in the approval process - was presented to the Planning Commission. Planning Commission members approved the sketch plan, allowing the project to proceed in the planning process.
McDonald's USA LLC wants to build a 4,350-square-foot restaurant on about an acre in the parking lot of the shopping center across from the Summit Bank branch. It would have double drive-through windows, seats for 87 and 21 parking spaces.
The new restaurant is assumed to be a replacement for the existing McDonald's on the north end of Martinsburg, but that has not been confirmed.
Mark Palmer was concerned about cars not being able to get out of the McDonald's parking lot onto Courthouse Drive because cars would be backed up there trying to get onto Edwin Miller Boulevard.
Jeff Molenda wanted to know if the traffic that will be added to Edwin Miller Boulevard when the Shepherd University Martinsburg campus opens later this year for late afternoon and evening classes. It is located in Aikens Plaza, a little west of where the McDonald's is proposed to go.
Apparently the Shepherd University facility was not taken into account by a private company that did a traffic study for McDonald's nor by the West Virginia Division of Highways that reviewed the study and accepted it, Michael Covell, city engineer, said.
The traffic study was performed by Traffic Solutions Inc. of Hagerstown. It found the current road system could handle the additional traffic generated by the new restaurant.
DOH officials agreed with the study, stating that no changes, such as a traffic light at the intersection or turn lanes, were warranted.
In a lengthy memorandum forwarded to the planning department, Lt. Brian Yost of the Martinsburg Police Department wrote, "I would like to be proactive in this plan instead of being reactive as the plans usually are and wait for a high accident rate, injuries or deaths to occur. This intersection is dangerous now."
Yost said he contacted the owner of the McDonald's on Eagle School Road for a traffic and customer count. He was provided with a total vehicle count for the restaurant's drive-through, which was 350,537 for 2012, or about 960 per day.
The owner told Yost that the number of cars using the drive-through at the new location could be expected to increase 15 to 20 percent, increasing the traffic count to between 1,104 and 1,152 using the drive-throughs per day.
"I believe the time to re-do this intersection (is) now and not wait for the inevitable to happen," Yost's memo continued. "My solution to this issue is to re-work this intersection making left-hand turn lanes on all four sides of the intersection and put in traffic lights ... ."
Covell dismissed Yost's comments.
"The comments from the police officer were unwarranted," he said. "I asked for documents and got none. The memo is filled with opinion and the Planning Commission shouldn't base its decisions on opinion. I think you're on thin subjective ice."
Palmer asked Covell, "If there is a problem after the restaurant is built, will (the problem) get worked out? The real proof is after it's built."
Covell answered that the site plan met the city's requirements.
"There are traffic problems all over and I'm afraid we're creating another problem," George Reichart said. "But everything has been met."

Cities could not exist without Rural America
December 30, 2012
Rural America is "becoming less and less relevant to the politics of this country," Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said recently. Vilsack is a Democrat, the former governor of Iowa....
Get a copy of "MaGruder's American Government" Einstein and you will learn that it was by design. It was part and parcel of the Founder's implementation of federalism. Without it there would have been no Union !

A Google search turns up wildly varying figures - from the World Bank "In 2011, China's gross national income per capita of $4,940 ranked 114th in the world; and over 170 million people still live below the $1.25-a-day international poverty line." From Forbes - "The average annual household income in China, converted to dollars, was $10,220, compared with $84,300 in the United States (the median US income is $47,300.)" From a Chinese news source - "Also in 2011, the per capita disposal income for Chinese urban dwellers rose by 14.1 percent to 21,810 yuan (3,493 U.S. dollars) over that in 2010." So where do you get your figure and how was it calculated ? You will have to enlighten us since "we know almost nothing".

You also say "The US has nothing approaching central planning or socialism. China does.", right after giving the example of "redistribution" of wealth among the states through "transfer payments" (more properly called block grants and/or categorical grants). You argue against yourself ... amazing !
Where do you get your figures ? Wikipedia cites four sources including the World Bank, IMF and CIA all showing an GDP per capita income in China as around $8400 (2011 figures). . . .

Do we in America denigrate our servicemen on a daily basis ... in the news, by politicians and by a larger army of "parasites" we call liberals ? And if the "American System" was what allowed the American businessman to become wealthy, WHY would they be investing in other countries ? Perhaps the 18 year old just needs a "JOB" so badly since liberals have destroyed the job creating market.

You people know almost nothing.
Average income in China is about $14,000/year. For a 2000 hour work year, this amounts to about $7.00/hour.
Most of the coal states and many of the farm states take much more from the Federal government in transfer payments than they contribute in taxes.
How can any educated person make this statement?:
"While we here in America are moving toward central planning and socialism, most of the rest of the world has abandoned Marxist economics and the future is their's."
The US has nothing approaching central planning or socialism. China does. The US has been growing at 1-2% a year, China has been growing at 10% a year.
And Kalva asks why businessmen should invest in America. Maybe because they are Americans? Maybe because the American system allowed them to become wealthy? Why should an 18 year old invest his life in the armed forces?

And if you are one of those "educated" people you speak of, where are the answers to the questions I asked ? Like - "Why should these people [Businessmen and investors] give a rat's butt if you have a job or anything else ? ... or "Why not just compete in the free market and show us all how to do it better ?" Your unions are more responsible for the flight of jobs from America than the AFP or Tea Party. And they killed the Twinkie too !

And you are not right ? Where is anything original about your whining complaints ? Your line is "HuffPO" all the way. Do I know what a free market means ? Tell me why restricting the market and saying in can only operate where you want it to operate is freer than a market that can operate worldwide ! You liberals claim to care about "all" people but you don't care that people in other countries like China have a job - regardless of what it pays. They are glad to have them. You can call it "slave" labor if you like, but if the problem of forced labor in China is "our" problem, then why was it not our problem to liberate the people of Iraq (or anywhere else) from a dictator - which you liberals have whined about incessantly ?

KalvaChomer, Your AFP, Tea party talking points dont work on educated people. Free market? DO you even know what that means? One example is China works for 25 cents a day labor, we import their slave labor products and our companies try to compete by actually paying a living wage. No healthcare, no laws for safety, retirement, its just sad your not able to make a intelligent decision when confronted with facts. Thats the TEA PARTY AND AFP WAY. You have been manipulated by professionals whos only job is to misinform, distort and try to convince people that getting less is a better idea. Only fools will by into that theory. Ask yourself this, why are you cutting from the bottom and not the top first? Because the top is whats manipulating your thoughts. Key words are Freedom, big gov., socialist, it isnt really hard to see if you just look at how it is presented. Propaganda is use by AFP, Tea Party, and those type of corporate scammers. You are allowing someone else to think for you.

When some start to chant corporate welfare where 40% of corporations do not pay income taxes, then you can be taken seriously. Seems this "free market" is not so free when they are given tax credits and incentives to provide employment. Sounds like this socialism I keep hearing about. Why are we only hearing about 47% of Americans?

You say "Don't just complain about it....", but your only solution is to "complain" and seek to enlist the government to use the force of law to get the capitalist to do your bidding. Why not just compete in the free market and show us all how to do it better ? If you believe that corporate greed is the problem, then the answer is simple. You on the left can create your own corporations and forego all that greed. That alone should make you competitive an run the greedy right out of the marketplace. Even if we went back to the tariff and protectionist regime, capital will move and they don't need you. They can take their capital, talents, and jobs out of America and find both workers and consumers who are happy to have them. While we here in America are moving toward central planning and socialism, most of the rest of the world has abandoned Marxist economics and the future is their's.

LocalGrown - Would you be terribly upset if answered your question "...who is destroying our country.", by saying you should look in the mirror ? It is you and your fellow liberals ! You have fallen prey to the century plus of anti-capitalist propaganda that has turned the "doers" of America into the bete noire of the masses. Why should these people give a rat's butt if you have a job or anything else ? You make them whipping boys. You do nothing but denigrate them. Do you expect that that is going to endear them to the working classes ? They are viewed as "exploiters" who should be regarded as cows to be milked. I can't blame them for taking their capital and jobs to places where it's appreciated.

We are all americans! Not country americans or city americans, but all americans! Get over your AFP talking points and get real! Food giants import apple juice from China? WTF? Full of DDT or other dangerous chemicals that are against the law here. So we are not going away by choice we are being starved by big corperation profits. Stop the lies!! Show the Facts!We shouldnt allow any country to sell us their harvest if we have it here, sure you can save a dime, but starve your own citizens to do it doesnt make sense to me. How about giving incentives to coperations to buy local? Be stricter on imports, like they are on us. Work together to save our country not tear it apart. Name names of congressmen or women who vote against intelligent proposals. DOnt just complain about it , tell us the facts so we can decide who is destroying our country.
