Very nice contact. The flat has the perfect location in that part of the city i like most. The equipment of the flat was absolutely enough for us. We found everything we needed. Thank you very much for a perfect stay.
the bedroom facing the street are noisy, the back no direct sunlight.
Well is close to the metro station!
We really enjoyed our stay in Barcelona. Manuel was friendly up on arrival. The apt is well situated, we walked every where. The bus or metro are also close by.
The air-conditioning was not working and wash machine was leaking during a wash so we dimentionned it to Manuel hopefully will be taking care of
Super dejlig stor og lys lejlighed. Fantastisk udsigt. Vi nød opholdet og den gode service fra Manuel.
Super nice big and bright apartment. Great view. We enjoyed the stay and the good service from Manuel.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Host: Manuel is great, very friendly and so helpful.
Location: Amazing!
Flat: Very nice, cosy, but the bathroom needs a bit improvement!
Overall: Satisfied and I would go back straight away! :)
Manuel came in time to hand over the door key and was very friendly and helpful. The flat was comfortable and had plenty of space for 2 persons. The location of the flat is central, just go out the door and find 4 cafés after 50 meters for breakfast and the Rambla de catalunya after 150 meters. Because of the traffic on the road it was noisy. Thank you Manuel!
Beautiful apartment, clean and located in one of the most beautiful areas of Barcelona. Manuel is a fantastic person, nice and helpful. I recommend everyone this apartment. Enjoy barcelona
Very nice apartment in a very attractive area of Barcelona. Manuel is an attentive and considerate host. It was a great pleasure to stay in the Apartment - we felt comfortable during our stay.
Manuel is a very friendly host, our accomodation was superb!

Our Country Haus Bed & Breakfast
French country living on a Northwest island.
This private carriage house is done up in French country style and is surrounded by an enormity of wildlife and cultivated gardens on rural Bainbridge Island. The bucolic vantage point on nature and the northwest's vibrant seasons allows you to feel as if you've left the city far behind, even though the ferry to Seattle is only six miles away. The property is airy, with large windows to let the light in, even on the gloomiest of days. There is a fireplace for cool winter months, and a large bedroom with a sitting area for snuggling year-round. French doors lead out to a deck where visitors enjoy morning coffee, read and marvel at the setting. A three-night minimum stay is required in the summer.

Choir Auditions
Auditions Fall 2016
Membership in UWM choral ensembles is open to any UWM student. Becoming a member of one of our choirs can give you the opportunity to grow and develop as a musician, make new friends, and be part of one of UWM's most exciting and popular student activities.
Interested students should register for the choir that interests them (contact Dr. Durlam if you are unsure) and sign up for a 10-minute voice placement audition when they arrive on campus in the fall. Sign-up sheets will be posted on August 22 on the choral bulletin board in the Music Building (across from room MUS 165). Various audition times will be available August 29-September 7. Specific audition requirements are listed below.
Women's Chorus – Women's Chorus features students of all ages – from first-year through graduate students. Singers interested in the Women's Chorus do not need to prepare anything for the audition (though students that have a prepared classical solo should bring it). The audition is primarily to place singers on the correct voice part. The audition is very informal and will consist mostly of vocal warm-ups to allow the directors to hear the quality and range of your voice.
University Men's Choir – Students interested in UMC are not required to prepare anything for the audition, though students that have a prepared solo should bring it to the audition. Students will sing a few vocal warm-ups to determine voice part. Singers will also be asked to sight read, though poor sight-reading performance will not keep students from being in the ensemble. The audition is mostly just a chance for the directors to get to know you and your voice.
Advanced Women's Choir – AWC is for advanced female singers, and most participants will have at least a year of collegiate singing experience. Incoming first-year students with a significant record of choral participation and vocal success (superior ratings on solos at state solo/ensemble; participation in State Honors or All State choirs) are welcome to audition for AWC as well. Students must bring a prepared classical solo to their audition, and all students will be asked to sight read. Transfer students with at least one year of collegiate singing experience should contact Dr. Durlam at email@example.com for alternate audition requirements.
Concert Chorale – Callbacks for Concert Chorale are by invitation only and will take place on Saturday, September 3. Audition music and a more detailed schedule will be mailed in early July to students who have been called back. Concert Chorale consists primarily of juniors, seniors, and graduate students with a small number of sophomore music majors. Transfer students new to UWM wishing to audition for Concert Chorale must have at least one full year of collegiate choral experience, and these students should contact Dr. Durlam at email@example.com to set up an audition time over the summer. At this audition, students must perform a prepared classical solo and will be expected to demonstrate excellent sight reading skills.
Gospel Choir – Students interested in Gospel Choir do not need to sign up for an audition time, but should instead attend Gospel Choir rehearsal on Tuesday, September 6 at 7 p.m. in MUS 280 where Mr. Daniel will hear you sing individually. No advance preparation is necessary.
Women's Chorus – Wednesday, September 7, 2 p.m, MUS 280
University Men's Choir – Tuesday, September 6, 2 p.m., MUS 175
Advanced Women's Choir – Tuesday, September 6, 2 p.m MUS 280
Concert Chorale – Tuesday, September 6, 1 p.m., MUS 280
Gospel Choir – Tuesday, September 6, 7 p.m., MUS 280

Apple Clarifies Japanese IPad SIM-Lock Question
Japanese mobile phone carrier Softbank Mobile's announcement earlier this week that the 3G version of Apple iPads sold in Japan could only be used on its mobile network created something of an uproar. That's because Apple CEO Steve Jobs said in January that the devices would be unlocked outside the U.S. and usable on any carrier willing to provide a micro-SIM card for it.
Softbank is the exclusive carrier in Japan for the iPhone, so it wasn't a surprise that it was chosen to be the partner for the iPad, which will launch on May 28 in the country. But anticipation that consumers could use the iPad on the network of Softbank rival NTT DoCoMo had been mounting for weeks, particularly as DoCoMo executives made public comments expressing their interest in supporting the iPad.
In addition, CEO Jobs confused some people when he recently responded to an email complaint by one Apple fan saying: "Actually, the version of iPad sold in Japan does accept international SIMs."
Apple on Friday responded to a request by this blog to clarify the situation. An Apple spokeswoman verified that Japanese 3G iPads will only work with Softbank's 3G service in Japan. But outside of Japan, those iPads are unlocked, so they can be used with SIMs for local carriers in their respective markets. Whether 3G iPads purchased outside of Japan will work in Japan will depend on the roaming agreement that the users's home carrier has established in the country, the spokeswoman said.

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly been dumped by Casablanca, her record label, according to FoxNews.com and the New York Post.
Guess they got tired of waiting for that big comeback album that her DJ ex-lover, Samantha Ronson, was helping her with.
But it gets worse.
]]>That widely publicized — and much maligned — Paris creative consulting fashion job at Ungaro? She may have had to pay for her own airfare and hotel. The reports are that the French fashion house only paid her with designer clothing.
Make that $100,000 worth of clothing, mind you. So don't feel too sorry for her.
We're still waiting for a response from her publicist. Assuming she still can afford one.

Skip to comments.Brunswick commissioner jailed in baby killing investigation (De'Marquise Elkins case)
Posted on 03/29/2013 6:59:13 AM PDT by RoosterRedux
City Commissioner James Henry Brooks Sr. has been charged with influencing a witness and obstructing the investigation of the fatal shooting of a baby and wounding of his mother March 21.
Brooks, also charged with racketeering in unrelated cases in Camden County, was booked into the Glynn County jail.
He was at the Glynn County Courthouse Monday when the mother of murder defendant De'Marquise Elkins left the courthouse after her son's initial court appearance. As Karimah Elkins and another woman walked from the courthouse, a county police investigator tried to speak with her. Brooks stepped between them and prevented the officer from speaking with the mother, officials said.
A bail of $1,256 has been set on the obstruction charge, but there is no bail on the charge of influencing witnesses, authorities said.
(Excerpt) Read more at savannahnow.com ...
Brunswick LEO's apparently mean business in getting to the bottom of this case.
Is he black??
Well, he ain't no Cracka, Baby.;-)
They found the .22 pistol? Top notch investigation.
I saw this in the Brunswick morning paper and said "if it were not so tragic (the crime was horrible ) this could be a Three Stooges Movie ". I cannot believe this is happening in the community.. I no longer feel safe in Brunswick.A good Friday lesson here..
The article leaves out so much information... is the commissioner a family member? Why was he escorting the woman out?
No need to ask that. Nothing to see here folks....no black on brown/white crime here...no hate crime....the accused is black, just getting his life together and had so much promise. Mother and auntie, sister are saints of the community.....bozo commissioner was just protecking his constituency..
It sounds like there is more to this case than there was at first glance. Perhaps they are making sure that there will not be a Zimmerman circus occurring there.
Nice pony tail.
This a-hole is probably thinking along the same lines as a black detroiter I encountered on a discussion thread on FB... one of these who thinks the two feral animals should go free "because of past injustices." His main example was the Emmitt Till murder from 1955.
Friggin' amazing.
Holder's people.
But here's some more info on Commissioner Brooks from another source:
This isn't the first time Brooks has been in trouble with the law.
In January 2012 he was arrested by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation on one count of bribery. He was accused of taking a $300 bribe for a man who wanted his record expunged so he could apply for a police officer job.
A judge denied his bond at the time because he felt Brooks could try to intimidate witnesses in an ongoing investigation.
Then in February 2012 prosecutors added a gun charge against him.
The District Attorneys presented a warrant to charge him with "possession of firearm by a convicted felon."
The Florida Times-Union reported at that time that Brooks had a prior felony conviction for taking out a credit card under a false name.
Woodpile overflowing
What a piece of work! Thanks Rooster!
Yet another fine, upstanding public servant doing his part to protect his kind. And these radical tribal leaders accuse all white people of racism? Enough of this nonsense, slavery died a long time ago, but these misfits cling to it for their freebies and to excuse their criminal actions.
Is that a mullet ?
Wow. One of my best friends lives in Brunswick, and he happens to be black. He does not contribute to the stereotype. Just a working musician, like me.
Okay, how black is he, this Brooks race pimp? Suppose the Holder unJustice dept. has put a 'bug' in his ear?If the thugocracy doesn't have a racial crisis, they just send little black devils to gin one up! Can Sharptoon and Jaclkasson be far behind?
Thanks Swampy! Seems to be a relative. Gee.... what a wonderful family, huh?
"As Karimah Elkins and another woman walked from the courthouse, a county police investigator tried to speak with her. Brooks stepped between them and prevented the officer from speaking with the mother, officials said."
How is this against the law? Sounds like the Jesse Jackson look-alike must have gotten on someone's bad side.
The LEO's have hinted at a gang connection in this case and they have also hinted that it is the gang angle where Commissioner Brooks gets drawn into the puzzle.
This is a shock. I thought Brunswick was a picture perfect, wholesome, quiet little town. Sounds like it must have a shady side as well. How sad.
Seems like the town is a Bloods stronghold, the shooter's mother, aunt, and sister all charged in the case, the O.G. mayor...
"How is this against the law?" You can't be serious.
Or their mammas have boyfriends in high places.
And his peeps ELECTED him to City Commissioner??? OMG....I am really starting to believe certain people are TOO STUPID to get thru life and do moral things....geesh.
He looks like Obambi's father.
Still waiting for the illegal alien racist POS living in our White House to call the mother of the slaughtered baby to console her and maybe offer to pay all funeral expense for the little tyke. Obambi's a multimillionaire and could pay out of his own pocket . . . wouldn't that be nice?
After all, his own sons killed the little guy!
"Never side with a white person against another black person."
Without bail, according to the article. Throw away the key.
They need to take a good look at the public defender Gough —
I hope you aren't holding your breath......LOL
"As Karimah Elkins and another woman walked from the courthouse, a county police investigator tried to speak with her. Brooks stepped between them and prevented the officer from speaking with the mother, officials said."
"How is this against the law? You cant be serious.""
Since when is it a crime to advise someone not to talk to the police (unless the officer was assaulted in the process)?
What kind of relative?? They're all related down there. Is that supposed to be some kind of excuse on his part.
They just need to round up the entire Elkins crime family, turn them upside down and shake them.
Ever since they passed laws against obstructing law enforcement and against influencing a witness in a murder case it has been illegal to obstruct law enforcement in a murder case and illegal to influence a key witness in a murder, my FRiend. He isn't her legal counsel and he isn't just some inconsequential party, he's the acting mayor.
Besides, look at the guy's rap sheet in comment #14—and furthermore, he's currently charged with bribery and racketeering himself.
The fact that he's being held without bond on the witness influencing charge tells us they know he's connected to the case/family in a very key way. Methinks the Bloods have an O.G. as mayor of the town and the whole sh*t wagon is about to blow.
He's justifiably worried by all of this. Those 4 members of the Elkins crime family account for 28 to 30 votes for him at election time.
Brooks is taking his cue from Norton Bonaparte down the road in Sanford.
This is just more Black Ku Klux Klan Racism
Just like the Black Ku Klux Klan Racism I see here with the George Zimmerman case...only that the Black KKK has already lynched Baby Antonio
Absolutely distrusting what this politician did
Time for people to wake up....get over the White Guilt Liberal nonsense
CNN has this story on its website, but there is no picture and no mention of the name or party affiliation of the culprit.
Heck....Brooks and ol' Nap in Sanford are probably related. Heck, Brooks may be one of the DeeDee Witness #8 s
All the bottom-dwellers don't wear hoodies...
Not until the trial, when they will come a-runnin' and declare that if there are whites on the jury it will be an unfair trial.
Isn't THAT the damn truth!!
"Is he black??"
Is the Pope Argentinian?

Rudolph III of Burgundy
Rudolph III of Burgundy (called Rudolf der Faule in German, and Rodolphe le Fainéant in French, in both languages meaning "sluggard" or le Pieux "the Pious" in French) (971 – September 6, 1032) was the last king of an independent Kingdom of Arles, also called the Second Kingdom of Burgundy. He was the son of King Conrad of Burgundy and Queen Matilda of France. He was the last male member of the Burgundian group of the Elder Welfs family.
Rudolph's reign was marked with turbulence. Unable to placate the increasingly powerful nobility, he also had to deal with encroachments of power on the part of Otto-William, Count of Burgundy, as well as by the Emperor Henry II, as head of the Kingdom of Germany. Henry succeeded in negotiating Rudolph to name him as his successor in 1016.[1]
When Henry died, his successor, the Emperor Conrad II, also negotiated with Rudolph to make him his heir.[2] This was contested by Rudolph's nobles, Odo II, Count of Blois and Reginald I, Count of Burgundy.[2]
Rudolph married firstly Ageltrude, and secondly, c. 1016, Ermengard, widow of Rotbold III, Count of Provence.[3] Rudolph died in 1032, at the age of 61, with no surviving issue. Conrad then claimed the Kingdom of Arles and incorporated it in the Holy Roman Empire.

My name is Anastacia, and I am the scrap yarn/one skein queen. I buy my yarn mainly at yard sales/thrift stores, so I got used to making do with what I could find. So most of my patterns are designed to use up the odd skeins or leftovers in your life, and are geared towards beginner crocheters or those who just want a fast, easy, but still pretty item.
I'm a 30 something adult living in MA. I'm married, have a wonderful cat named Wedgie, & I work full time. I also teach knitting & crocheting at my local Michael's & squeeze in designing as many hours as I can a week.
I do love to hear from everyone, but please remember that I am busy, just like you, & will reply as soon as I can.
All of my patterns use USA terms & abbreviations.
I try to layout my patterns as simply as possible to save money for people printing at home. My patterns are as short as possible, usually with only one photo on the first page, which you can easily skip printing to save ink.
This is a top down crochet crescent-shaped wrap design, beginning with a long starting chain. There are directions for two sizes (using two different yarn weights) and hints for resizing, if you want a different size or want to use a different weight of yarn.
You can wear this either as a wrap, a scarf, or a shawlette.
Pattern uses single and double crochet, double crochet clusters, and picots.
Yarn used:
o Small Sample: Lion Brand LB 1878, 100% fingering weight wool, 2045 yards, 500 grams (580 yards / 141 grams were used), size J (6.0 mm) crochet hook (shown in light blue)
o Large Sample: Knit Picks Swish DK, 100% superwash wool, 123 yards, 50 grams, 4 skeins (420 yards / 169 grams were used), size K (6.5 mm) crochet hook (shown in maroon)
Samples measure:
o Small Sample (Fingering): Preblocked: 9" deep by 65" across (23 cm by 165 cm). After blocking, shawlette measures 12" deep by 70" across (30 cm by 178 cm).
o Large Sample (DK): Preblocked: 7.75" deep by 60" across (20 cm by 152 cm). After blocking, shawlette measures 12" deep by 72" across (30 cm by 183 cm).

Skip to comments.Obama replaces Andrew Jackson on the $20 Bill
Posted on 04/29/2010 10:24:32 AM PDT by AuntB
The State of Arizona passed a law to uphold federal law and to protect their citizens but the liberal DC establishment, instead of supporting the right of Arizona to enact the legislation is acting full bore against them.
First, lets get the media and open border politician's spin corrected.
There is nothing in the Arizona law contrary to Federal Law. The State of Arizona is acting in concert and protection of the the US Constitution and law.
Today, an article in David Horowitzs blog describes it.
Tragically, the very powers that are Constitutionally supposed to protect America from foreign invasion are lined up to ruin her. It is already a felony to be in this country illegally, but the federal government, from the administrations of Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and now Barack Obama, have obstinately refused to protect and secure our borders.
Its not the first time a president and his regime of these United States sided against a sovereign state, refusing to enforce federal law.
Its not the first time a president acted outside of federal authority to distribute to his supporters the wealth and property of other Americans. Like Andrew Jackson, Obama the Democrat, is seeking his place at the bottom of the presidential history heap by disregarding the rule of law.
The question is, will the State of Arizona survive and and be allowed to protect its citizens, its culture, it's history, its laws.
Law, Law understood, and Law executed
This is the simple principle adopted by the Cherokee Nation, located in the NE corner within the State of Georgia, by 1819.
First was the Law. Then law must be understood by the people being ruled by it. But with no execution the law is empty and invites anarchy. When it becomes so complicated, no one understands it.
Seems simple enough, right? Not when special interests are regarded above the rule of law.
These Cherokee, many of them the half breed off spring of Scottish immigrants who fought for the Revolution, and members of the Ridge Party, named for Cherokee leader Major Ridge, had a Constitution copied after our US. Constitution, a legislature and courts. They were prosperous, Christian, independent, modern, and relied on nothing from the Federal government for their care. They had a Newspaper, the Cherokee Phoenix, distributed world wide, in the Queens English as well as the Cherokee Language. They named their children after founding fathers they regarded with the utmost respect: James Madison Bell, Benjamin Franklin Adair, and so on.
Home of Elias (Buck Watee) Boudinot, editor of the Cherokee Phoenix, c. 1830, New Echota, Cherokee Nation.
After his election, Jackson pushed and signed the Indian Removal Act into law in 1830. The Act authorized the President to negotiate treaties to buy tribal lands in the east in exchange for lands further west, outside of existing U.S. state borders.
While not popular in the North, and opposed by Americans like Congressman David Crockett and Ralph Waldo Emerson , Jacksons Indian Removal Act was popular in the South, where population growth and the discovery of gold on Cherokee land had increased pressure for removal of the Cherokee. The state of Georgia became involved in a contentious jurisdictional dispute with the Cherokees, culminating in the 1832 U.S. Supreme Court decision Worcester v. Georgia, which ruled that Georgia could not impose its laws upon Cherokee tribal lands.
Their own New England educated Cherokee attorneys fought and won the decision in the Supreme Court, which held the Cherokee Nation was indeed a sovereign state, who, as long as they held to Constitutional guidelines of federal law, could not be invaded or removed.
Jackson is often quoted regarding this decision, as having said, "John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it!"
Of course, Jackson knew the Supreme Court has no power of enforcement; he as the top executive is responsible for that. He refused. Jackson was the peoples president, or so its said, representing American pioneers of simple means in the South and the movement west. The citizens of Georgia, aided by their Militia, continued to move into modern, European styled Cherokee homes and productive plantations unimpeded by the Federal government. Those who objected, white and Cherokee within their territory, were jailed or killed.
The rule of law was ignored in favor of lining the pockets of the people who put Jackson in office and invaded the Cherokee Nation. The result was the forced removal on the Trail of Tears of tens of thousands of Cherokee, other tribes, slaves and the white men who stood with them.
The Cherokee State was cleansed in favor of the invaders and stands as a stark historical reminder of the fragility of any state sovereignty.
No, there is no formal movement to replace Jackson with Obama on the $20 bill, that we know of. But there is a concerted effort by Obama and his squatter support squad of liberal socialists, some of them republicans, to destroy the right of any state to protect its citizens from invasion.
History does indeed repeat itself, if we allow it. Where will the good people of Arizona or any state, of all races, go if they are not allowed to enforce their laws?
"All Nations have their rises & their falls. This has been the case with us.
Within the orbit the U. States move the States & within these we move in a little circle, dependent on the great center.
We may live this way fifty years and then we shall by Natural Causes merge in & mingle with the U. States.......
Cherokee blood, if not destroyed, will win its courses in beings of fair complexions, who will read that their ancestors became civilized under the frowns of misfortune & the causes of their enemies." -
John Ridge , son of Major Ridge, letter to Albert Gallatin, member of Thomas Jefferson's staff - February 27, 1826
It's contrary to Federal POLICY (they don't WANT to enforce the laws on the laws on the books).
Thank you!!! Stealin' that one!!!

There is actually a move to put Obama on the $20 bill!
Go to Facebook, if you play there, and tell them what you think.
Petition to PUT BARACK OBAMA ON THE $20 BILL
[snip] his is a petition to replace Andrew Jackson with President Barack Obama. While Andrew Jackson tamed the west, he also murdered millions of native Americans with his policies. Its time to wipe this guy off of our most used currency, for while history is history, our values have changed to diversity, teamwork, equality and service. Barack Obama's face alone is a symbol of these values. Lets have him on the $20! Future generations will thank us!

You may as well. I did!
The money has been a joke all along. The Federal Reserve isn't part of the Government and has no reserve.
You might as well put Al Capone on the money or use laffy taffy as currency.
Stolen, thank you.
Jackson may have murdered one of my ancestors. Obama is out to murder me ;-)
The difference being is that Andy Jackson had his good points. Still trying to figure out Obama's.
"The difference being is that Andy Jackson had his good points. Still trying to figure out Obamas."
Jackson certainly put the bankers in their place.
Thanks AuntB. Its done
He was a rogue and a brute. But like TR, he was a patriot thru and thru despite his wild hairs
My contribution for the day.
"He was a rogue and a brute. But like TR, he was a patriot thru and thru despite his wild hairs"
I have to disagree with you. Jackson was corrupt, just like Obama...looking out for his $$$$ special interests.
Yes, he fought the good fight at Horseshoe Bend/1812 war.
But kind of like McCain being elevated to where he is because of being a 'war hero'. BTW, The Ridge Cherokees fought beside Jackson in that war, saved his life. After the war, he still took their land.
Almost 30,000 now.
Anyone with a drop of cherokee blood (which I proudly claim) should have a genetic built-in distrust of government.
"Anyone with a drop of cherokee blood (which I proudly claim) should have a genetic built-in distrust of government."
Yep! ANY American who knows our history, should have that distrust. Our founding fathers warned us that questioning authority was our duty.
Yes, but taking Indian land is not something exclusive to Jackson, by any means. Bear in mind the entire continent had indians from coast to coast at one time.
Also, Jackson did not just shine at Horseshoe Bend, he defeated the brits at NO in one of the most astounding US military campaigns ever. Him leading the charge.
And his heroics against the spanish and the seminoles is also legendary. He was more Patton than McCain, by a long shot. McCain's claim to fame is as a POW, not a warrior.
Just out of curiosity, how do you think Old Hickory would handle the illegal aliens invading out nation?
"Yes, but taking Indian land is not something exclusive to Jackson, by any means. Bear in mind the entire continent had indians from coast to coast at one time.

Agreed and on point about McCain.
" but taking Indian land is not something exclusive to Jackson, by any means."
Absolutely, but Jackson was only able to go on because of Horseshoe bend in that war. He bestowed the title of 'Major' to Ridge, and claimed to be his friend. His friend was $$$ and power. Not unlike, Obama.
Okay, gotta run, I 'spect I've done enough damage for the time being...
"Just out of curiosity, how do you think Old Hickory would handle the illegal aliens invading out nation?"
A hell of a lot better than the last 4 have done. Unless there were a LaRaza, Maldef, etc, etc, that is tax funded to buy him off.
"Okay, gotta run, I spect Ive done enough damage for the time being..."
LOL! Two weeks ago, we couldn't get anyone to read an 'immigration thread', now I can't get through them all.
I'm not sure if that's good or bad!
Interesting times, my friend.
Andy Jackson paid off the national debt while Obama bankrupts the country.
Jackson ended the central bank of his time, Obama reappointed Bernanke.
In short I'd rather have zombie Jackson as president right now.
Tea Party Petition signed!
Also consider joining the Obamacare Class Action Law suit:
Obamacare Class Action Lawsuit
"The purpose of this lawsuit is to reverse Supreme Court precedent related to the Commerce clause and thereby overturn Obamacare. The Supreme Court has historically erred in its interpretation of the Constitutional role of the Federal Government. Recent Supreme Court rulings hint that they may be willing to take another look at Commerce clause precedent. Obamacare is so over reaching and so onerous, that it must either be repealed in Congress or struck down in the courts. We must fight this on both fronts. This is our historic opportunity to reverse Americas trend toward Socialism by overturning this unconstitutional precedent.
If you are a US citizen and agree with the goal of this lawsuit, please join us. If you have concerns about joining, please review the FAQs for more information. Every person we add strengthens the voice of "We the People".
He also vetoed more bills than his 6 predecessors combined
I'm not at all sure that Jackson was more corrupt than the average president. Anyhow, I do get the point of your piece. It was well made.
But I will always be an partial fan of this warrior.
Don't know if you've read any books on him, but one I read some years ago was quite excellent. Warts and all, but you ended up with some respect for this larger than life figure.
Here's an interesting short bio. The man had a rough life. Joined the Continentals at 13 years old too!
Obama's face isn't fit to print on toilet paper.
Thank you for the ping. Will read;comment at a later time.
I signed a while back.
"Dont know if youve read any books on him, but one I read some years ago was quite excellent. Warts and all, but you ended up with some respect for this larger than life figure."
Actually, the History Channel did an excellent biography of him couple years go. Rough life as a young man!
Obviously a forgery, AuntB! If you compare the engraving on the Obama ZERO bill its same as a ONE not a TWENTY!;^)
There, it's called, on account of a) headline disconnect and b) flagrant apostrophe abuse.
And Teddy Roosevelt was just another Big Government Progressive. He, along with Franklin and Woodrow Wilson, was responsible for major growth in illicit government power. I USED to think him a hero; the reality is, he was pond scum, pure and simple.
You have been listening to the idiot Beck too much.
"Just out of curiosity, how do you think Old Hickory would handle the illegal aliens invading out nation?"
LOL. Now that thought puts a smile on my face, cause I know the illegals would no longer be in the country.
A.) Beck's NOT an idiot, though sometimes you can't actually PROVE that; and
B.) YOU are not addressing the substance of my post; which means:
Sorry, but thanks for (not) playing.
A.) Beck's NOT an idiot, though sometimes you can't actually PROVE that; and
B.) YOU are not addressing the substance of my post; which means:
Sorry, but thanks for (not) playing.
You want to argue TR sometime, I'm game. He was quite the patriot and effective President. Like all Presidents, he had his shortcomings and moments of stupidity. But basing TR's career evaluation on his boneheaded BullMoose years (all two of them) as Beck likes to do, is as much a disservice to TR as basing Churchill's career on his mistakes (Which including joining Labour, amongst other things).
I could care less about his "Bullmoose" years. I base my loathing for him on the Interstate Commerce Commission, the "Trust Busters" and all the other ways he grew government and government regulation of business when he WAS in office. Now, granted there may have been some abuses by a few businesses, but I would far rather have had THAT than the strangling tentacles of big government, which is what TR was spinning during his Whitehouse years.
"The question is, will the State of Arizona survive and and be allowed to protect its citizens, its culture, it's history, its laws."
It won't if Obama and his GOP Treason Lobby comrades have any say in it.
Jackson definately had his many flaws. Unlike Zero, he really knew who our enemies were!
So busting up AT&T's monopoly was a bad thing?
When was it busted up? I don't recall the year, but it was in the 80's after the MCI lawsuit. Had nothing to do with Teddy "big government" Roosevelt.

Millcreek police look for man sought in truck theft
Millcreek Township police are looking for help in locating a man who is wanted for questioning as part of an investigation into a vehicle theft in March.
A 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 pickup truck was stolen outside the PNC Bank at 5014 West Ridge Road on the afternoon of March 20, when the owner left it running while he went into the bank. A man was seen entering the truck and driving off, police said.
The person who took the truck abandoned it after crashing it into a pole at South Shore Drive and Superior Avenue in Erie.
Millcreek detectives on Friday released a surveillance image of the man wanted for questioning. The image was taken from a business near the PNC Bank branch.
Anyone with information is asked to call Millcreek police Cpl. Robert Bucko at 838-9515, Ext. 431.

Ramen Boy lasted, oh, about as long as one slurp. Or so it seemed for this sleek Chinatown entry from the owners of Yakitori Boy into the city's suddenly piping hot ramen scene.
After a steady thrum of (justified) bad buzz on the "Yokohama-style" bowls, it closed after just five months while the owners regrouped.
What a remarkable turnaround they've made in forming a new partnership with the Terakawa ramen restaurants from New York, which brought new recipes and a new chef.

Quinn Peeper Gynecologist, pianist, president of the New Orleans English-Speaking Union You have a special interest in Boswell's 'Life of Johnson,' don't you?
Quinn Peeper
Gynecologist, pianist, president of the New Orleans English-Speaking Union
You have a special interest in Boswell's 'Life of Johnson,' don't you?I do. Four years ago, Joe DeSalvo gave me the 'Life of Johnson,' and I thought "Great, I got a doorstop!" But it's one of those books I felt I needed to read. Then, after Katrina, I wanted to do something for the convention business and I asked the English-Speaking Union if we could host our conference here. We needed a theme, and Joe said, "Well, it's Johnson's tercentenary." So Joe came up with the idea.
What do you like about the book?What is it, 1400 or 1500 pages? It was amazing. The first 53 years of his life are only a fifth of the book and Boswell wasn't even around for that. He was 30 years younger. But when Boswell enters the biography he becomes a character in his own work. I feel like I know Boswell and Johnson and they're great charmers.
What will you be talking about in your lecture to the conference?I love, love, love the book. I compare it to reality TV. A lot of the biography is written in dialogue; Boswell does it as life and scenes. You feel like you're on a show, like "The Real Housewives of New York." You always have to find somebody you hate and persecute them and throw them off the show. I found out that after Shakespeare and Bible, Johnson is the most quoted person in the Oxford Book of Quotations and No. 1 in Bartlett's. Most people would recognize his face but they haven't read his work.
What other books do you like to read?I'm in a book club and we do prize-winning novels -- the Booker, the Whitbread, the Pulitzer. I'm off now to read the diaries of Samuel Pepys. But I've always loved biography and memoir.
You must have quite a book collection.People come to my house and say, "Have you read all these books?" And I say, "I'm insulted that you think these are the only books I've ever read." I like to say that I keep a bed by my books, and I'm lucky to find the bed.

Kids on Royals
Little experts weigh in on what they think the new royal should be named.
Little experts weigh in on what they think the new royal should be named.
A yahoo user: This paper sold out to the Clintons, just like the FBI, the Department of Justice, the DNC. We absolutely MUST get rid of the corruption. If we allow Hillary to be elected, the people will have less and less say in the government and it will become less of a democracy. Trump is a very, very unique candidate that comes in from the outside. It would be very difficult for any outsider to do so in the future, especially if Hillary wins. The changes that need to be made in the way government is run would be very difficult, if not impossible, to change in future elections. We would be stuck with corruption for a long, long time. It is imperative that the voters realize the long term implications of giving a would be criminal the office of President. The corrupt establisment cannot win on this.

Vaser Liposuction
Vaser Liposuction WORTH IT RATING* DETAILS
in the last 24 months
in the last 12 months
over all time
Vaser liposuction uses ultrasound energy to melt the fat before it's removed through a thin tube called a cannula. This technique makes the fat easier to remove and may be especially useful in areas with larger volumes or denser fat. It also results in a less aggressive procedure, which may lead to faster recovery times. This method does pose a risk for burns, and as with traditional liposuction, it's not intended to significantly reduce weight, but to address fat that's been resistant to diet and exercise.

Skip to comments.U.S. Mint to Unveil New Nickel Designs
Posted on 09/16/2004 7:25:57 AM PDT by evets
click here to read article
As time passes, the previous design generally drops from circulation. When was the last time you saw a wheat penny? Similarly, it's pretty darn rare to find any coin higher than a nickel in denomination that is older than 1965 (1972 in the case of half-dollars) because that's the year they debased them from silver to junk metals.
What I've recommended to kids is that they start by saving and putting aside one nickel of every year and mint mark they can find. As time passes, and they find a better example of a given year and mint, they could replace it with the one in better shape, so their collection will, over time, become both more complete and of better quality. It's cheap and easy for them.
Ten years from now you'll start seeing the Jefferson/Monticello nickels become more and more rare. Frankly, though I realize updating the design is probably not entirely a bad idea, I still am saddened by it.
Here is a sneak look at the new nickels:
Dammit, why isn't an African American woman on this coin? I nominate Sally Hemmings!
She'll be lounging in her jammies. :-}
Thomas Jefferson wrote quite a bit about freedom of the press.
My favorite:"The only security of all is in a free press. The force of public opinion cannot be resisted when permitted freely to be expressed. The agitation it produces must be submitted to. It is necessary, to keep the waters pure." --Thomas Jefferson to Lafayette, 1823. ME 15:491
This Poland Spring is for you, Dan Rather you greedy rich elitist! Anyone know how much this liar earns in one year?!
Further for the 'proof' of my assertion: Only one US coin has a right facing portrait: President Lincoln on the penny. Now, President Jefferson, who was so maligned by the press just like someone we all know and love, now turns 'right'. The tables have turned. W is for Write!
As for the quote.. a truely free press would eliminate the need for an 'intelligence' agency. I believe the CIA is a relic of the Cold War and if we eliminate MSM/Old Media, we can eliminate a good deal of the intelligence apparatus. The world is totally interconnected... Pajama Clad Analysts who love what they do and do it for the love of Country will be far more effective.
No wonder we didn't know about WMD.. we had career civil servants looking for it.
The new obverse (Jefferson) would remain and Montecello would be restored to the reverse... it would probably be updated too.
Interesting note left off the Yahoo piece: the word "Liberty" is a reproduction of the word in Jefferson's own hand.
Jesus Christ! STOP F*CKING WITH THE MONEY!
I bought a silver proof set of the 2004 coins last weekend, and the set has the two new nickels in it. I hadn't looked at the set that closely until I got home and saw the new design, so I wasn't able to ask the dealer about the changes. Guess I'll start saving some of the old design nickels.
is it me or should the coastline be reversed. If you were traveling from east to west as you approached the pacific wouldn't the water be on your left?
A problem is the mint messed up badly when they introduced the Sac dollar. Also, I think the new paper bills look like Monopoly money or something. But, then again, REAL money clinks not rustles.
For people living in border states to Canada, the 50 State quarter program has been a unending minor annoyance for years.
The only thing that would have made that pain in the a$$ worth it would have been if the Washington State quarter had the same Washington profile on both sides.
It looks more like an image of Bob Hope impersonating Thomas Jefferson.
Believe me, those old nickels are worthless, unless you get some of the early ones in pristine condition. How many billions of nickels have been minted in the last 30 years alone?
Wow those are some bags under TJ's eyes!
About two weeks ago. It's out of circulation now...
The change from silver to base metals meant that old coins were obviously worth more than face value. For other changes, though, I don't see it as such an issue. Eagle quarters are still in very wide circulation, and even the bicentenial ones show up from time to time. I would expect Monticello nickels to likewise remain around.
I thought real money jingled and only slug money clinked?
The word "liberty," in the third president's own handwriting, appears to the lower left.
They are going to destabilize the currency with this.
So far they have been issuing the quarters in the order states ratified the Constitution (for the original 13 states) or were admitted to the Union. What about the 11 states that seceded and then were readmitted...shouldn't they get another reverse design to commemorate their readmission?
Thanks. I thought/hoped so.

New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men to headline Summerfest
It's going to be boy bands galore at the Marcus Amphitheater when The Package Tour, featuring New Kids on the Block, 98 Degrees and Boyz II Men, headlines Summerfest on July 2.
The news will make fans swoon. Shows all across the country have been announced for the tour, including two dates at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Ill., in late July that made a Summerfest appearance seem unlikely. And despite going on tour nearly every year since reuniting in 2008 after a 14-year hiatus, NKOTB hasn't played in Milwaukee since that year. »Read Full Article(26)
Alchemist Theatre's 'King Lear' reigns as family drama
Early in Friday's opening-night performance of Alchemist Theatre's "King Lear," Bo Johnson's aged king called for the map demonstrating his intended division of Britain among his three daughters. Lear's attendants dutifully unfurled it — with the bottom at the top and the top at the bottom. When they tried to hang the map up, it kept falling down.
Director Leda Hoffmann confirmed during intermission that this sequence wasn't planned. But such a topsy-turvy world aptly illustrates the disorder that descends on Britain once the hot-tempered Lear banishes his beloved Cordelia, counting on his remaining two daughters to keep him and Britain safe. »Read Full Article

Commonwealth sham brought memories flooding back
I'm sure I was not the only one who feared the worst when I heard the headlines 'Bridge collapse threatens Games'. Events surrounding the Commonwealth Games in India brought back terrible memories of two recent Maccabiah Games.
No-one wants reminding of the terrible events that surrounded the 1997 Jewish Olympics. Four Australian athletes lost their lives marching into the opening ceremony when a makeshift bridge collapsed into the highly-polluted waters of the Yarkon River in Tel Aviv.
The second similarity were the unhygienic living conditions in the athletes' village. At last year's 18th Maccabiah Games, the entire junior Team GB delegation were swifty removed from sub-standard accommodation in Neve Hadassah where I received reports of cockroaches and much worse. The GB organising committee worked around the clock to rectify the situation and the young squad ended up in a five-star hotel in Jerusalem. The message is simple. Never again. The warning signs have long been there and I'm amazed that the Games are going ahead.
● Alex Haffner has announced his retirement from the MSFL. The Montana Boca United A defender suffered a second dislocation to the same shoulder he injured several months ago. He said: "It was bad luck that the shoulder went again in my first league game back. It would ultimately have happened again at some point in the future.
"There is an option for me to go under the knife again, this time via much more intrusive surgery. Although I would love to keep playing football, the prospect of another three months in a sling plus several months of rehab for a procedure which might not ultimately work is not one I'm up for going through.
"Very reluctantly, I've therefore had to accept that I have to hang up my boots and find other ways to let out my aggression on a Sunday morning."
Haffner hopes to continue playing cricket for London Maccabi Vale next season.
● Team GB still have places available in several sports for the squad travelling to the European Maccabi Games in Vienna next July. They are looking for athletes in swimming, chess, girls and women's tennis, open karate, junior and open judo, junior basketball boys, girls and women's table tennis, fencing and open badminton.
● Mark Ableson raised nearly £5,000 doing a six-mile walk at the London Bridgathon in memory of his late son Richard, who lost his battle with leukaemia. Mark's journey took him over the bridges of London, with all proceeds going to the Leukaemia & Lymphoma unit at UCLH. Mark said: "It was a real tribute to my well-loved and fondly-remembered son."
● It's time for my first monthly football awards of the season. Player of the Month goes to London Lions hotshot James Gershfield who hit the target 14 times, including two hat-tricks in the South Midlands League Division One.
Redbridge Jewish Care A cleaned up in the JC MSFL Premier Division with six-goal striker Daran Bern and manager Sam McCarthy picking up the gongs following three league victories as well as success in the London FA Sunday Intermediate Cup.
Manchester Maccabi 3rds boss Martin Simons is the JC MJSL top boss after steering his troops to four wins out of five. Haroldeans' Josh Silverberg wins top player after finding the net eight times.
● I'll be making some guest appearances on Israel's first all-sports talk radio station, Israel Sports Radio, which hits the airwaves on October 4. Set up by Ari Louis, Andy Gershman and Josh Halickman, the show will provide eight hours of continuous original programming, five days a week. Jeremy Last will present live talk and sports news.
The Maccabi GB Ten Pin Bowling tournament takes place at Airport Bowl on Sunday.

Pop's Peppery Chili
Next to jazz music, there is nothing that lifts the spirit and strengthens the soul more than a good bowl of chili
~ Harry James
On the stove, simmering in a saline broth are fluffy pods of supple-skinned beans bearing pearly starch on the inside, like a patch of fertile brown earth unfolding in a pot. In that patch of earth, one sees a flash of harvest season, Dad's mulch-smeared hands at work, stripping away dry pods of dark red beans. With a little help from sauteed vegetables cajoled by robust spices, the starchy bean bulk can be magically transformed into a pot of chili. The onions and garlic that leave a trail of gossamer skins and piquant aromas are suggestive of the warmth at the dinner table, with Dad passing bowls and spoons around as the hungry munchkins sing the stir-the-soup song to complement Mom's actions. The chillies are in a league of their own. From groovy greens to raging reds, not to forget the mellow yellows and coy oranges in between, the shiny hues belie the fieriness within. With their cooked-down textures, and stray seeds that sneak in, trailed by feeble tails of piths, they suffuse the vegetables and the beans with heat and vigor. The veracity of their meaty essence is somehow evocatory of a backyard scene in the summer, where Dad clearly seems footloose, free of that workday stiffness, with his loveable stubbly cheeks and cotton shorts. Whether it's piles of hamburger buns that are readied for a sloppy joe showdown or Mom's lineup of rotis and naans skittering off a hot tava, there's nothing that can come even close to the smiles that reach Dad's eyes as he digs into his bowl of red. A big bowl of red and all that jazz for Dad this Father's Day, from Mom and her helpful but noisy nuggets.
Peppery Chili with Pickled onions and Makki-ki-rotis
(Serves 3-4)
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan and add the cumin seeds and dry chilli. Once they sizzle and darken, add the onions, carrots and a big pinch of salt and let the vegetables soften on low heat, about 5 minutes. Grate in the garlic, and after a few stirs add the peppers and zucchini. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring often, and then toss in all the spices and salt. Stir for about a minute and then pour in the tomato purée, beans and liquid. Mash the chili slightly with the back of a ladle. Stir in the chicken if using. Cover and simmer on low heat for 15-20 minutes. Allow the chili to rest for half an hour or so, if possible, for the flavors to mingle. Re-heat and serve in bowls topped with pickled onions, grated paneer and chopped cilantro/coriander leaves with hot, buttered makki-ki-rotis to scoop it all up.
- Heat the vinegar, sugar and salt in a small saucepan until it boils. Add the onion rings and chillies, switch off the heat and allow to cool. The onions will quickly leach their color into the pickling liquid and turn it pink. The onions can be served right away, store leftovers in a covered glass jar in the refrigerator and use over the next 4-5 days.
Makki-ki-rotis (Corn flatbreads)
(Makes 12, each about 4" across)
¾ Cup Makki-ka-atta (corn flour available at Indian markets)
¼ Cup whole-wheat flour
¼ Teaspoon salt
Warm water to knead (about ½ cup)
Mix the flours and salt in a wide bowl and make a well in the middle. Pour in enough water to make a dough. Knead for a while and then break off 1 inch balls, press flat between sheets of plastic or wax paper and cook both sides on a hot cast iron griddle until browned and toasty, adding a few drops of oil/ghee. Butter the rotis liberally while they are hot.

The foods you eat contain insects, rat hair and rat excrement. The Food and Drug Administration sets "food defect action levels," which are the maximum levels of natural or unavoidable defects in foods such as how many insects or rat hairs are permissible. "Action levels" are the point at which the FDA starts an investigation and decides what action is warranted. But if these are the upper limits allowed by law, what can we expect to find in our food? Well, that depends if you ask the FDA, it's about 10 percent of the action levels, but other experts argue it could be as high as 40 percent. Food Defect Action LevelsHere are a couple of foods from the guide just so you get a taste. You can view the entire list on the FDA website at fda.gov/food/guidanceregulation/guidancedocumentsregulatoryinformation/sanitationtransportation/ucm056174.htm#intro
Peanut ButterDefect: Insect and rodent filth.Action level: An average of 30 or more insect fragments and one or more rodent hairs per 100 grams.Example: In every 18-ounce jar of peanut butter, there can be as many as 150 insect fragments and five rodent hairs. ChocolateDefect: Insect and rodent filth.Action level: An average of 60 or more insect fragments and one or more rodent hairs per 100 grams.Example: A typical chocolate bar is about 60 grams, or 2 ounces. It could have as many as 36 insect fragments and about half a rodent hair and still be sold in supermarkets. Worried about Eating Way Too Much Over the Holidays? Here's a Quick Fix.
Being active every day does more than burn calories. According to the Journal of Physiology, "A daily bout of exercise generates vast physiological benefits even when you consume thousands of calories more than you are burning. Exercise clearly does a lot more than simply reduce the energy surplus." The amount of physical activity used during the study was running on a treadmill for 45 minutes every day. Work Out and Play Games: Make 30 Minutes of Exercise Feel Like 5.
There is a brand new gaming company in town the famed creators of Guitar Hero have come up with a game that can be played on nearly any exercise cardio machine (e.g., treadmill, elliptical, bike). It's called Goji Play (bluegoji.com/) and works with your iPad or iPhone. According to the company, the game comes with a wireless sensor, so "your movement is part of the game. And our game controllers either mount on your equipment or can be held in your hand ... making the transformation complete." According to the website, Goji Play has 12 games and apps currently available and plans to develop many more. While I haven't received the game yet, I imagine it's amazing. The cost is a bit steep at $99. Who Can You Trust? 100 Calories may be 120 Calories.
This is not new news, but it's interesting nonetheless. Most people don't realize that the Food and Drug Administration, which is responsible for regulating food labels, allows companies to be as much as 20 percent off on calories and key nutrients. From the FDA: "A food with a label declaration of calories, sugars, total fat, saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, or sodium shall be deemed to be misbranded under section 403(a) of the act if the nutrient content of the composite is greater than 20 percent in excess of the value for that nutrient declared on the label.In fact, researchers from Tufts University found that "Measured energy values of 29 quick-serve and sit-down restaurant foods averaged 18 percent more calories than the stated values. Likewise, measured energy values of 10 frozen meals purchased from supermarkets averaged 8 percent more calories than stated on the label." What does that mean? You could be consuming a lot more calories (and other nutrients such as sodium) than you think. It gets worse, because it works in reverse, too. The nutrients you need, such as fiber and vitamins, "must be present at 80 percent or more of the value declared on the label," which means that the food may contain only 80 percent of the amount listed.
From the FDA: "Class II nutrients are vitamins, minerals, protein, total carbohydrate, dietary fiber, other carbohydrate, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat, or potassium that occur naturally in a food product. Class II nutrients must be present at 80 percent or more of the value declared on the label.As an example: If vitamin C is a naturally occurring nutrient in a product, and the product declares 10 percent DV vitamin C (i.e., 6 mg/serving) on its label, then laboratory analysis must find at least 80 percent of the label value (80 percent of 6 mg or 4.8 mg vitamin C/serving) for the product to be in compliance." Account for these differences in your diet. Ever Wonder Who Controls Your Food?
