History of Pensacola
When the Spanish arrived in Pensacola during the 16th century, the native inhabitants were the Pensacola, which is where the town got its name from. After the Spanish, the area was claimed by the French, followed by the Spanish again, then the English, then the Spanish a third time, the United States, the Confederate, and then became part of the United States again as it is now since 1865. Because of this, Pensacola is known as "The city of five flags" from the different rulers that have governed the city.

HOMICIDE detectives plan to reopen an investigation into the death of Kiesha Abrahams's brother after the arrest of her mother and stepfather on Friday over the little girl's murder.
Ayden, the son of Kristi Anne Abrahams, 28, and her former partner, Chris Weippeart, was believed to have died from sudden infant death syndrome more than a year before Kiesha was born.

Police to look into death of Abrahams boy
NSW police plan to re-open the investigation into the death of Kiesha Abrahams's brother Aiden , who was expected to have died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).
But following the arrest about 1am on Friday of Kiesha's mother, Ms Abrahams, and stepfather, Robert Smith, 31, police are considering taking another look at Ayden's death.
''We probably will do,'' said Detective Inspector Russell Oxford of the homicide squad.
He said early in the investigation into Kiesha's disappearance that detectives had examined Ayden's death at six weeks of age, but had not continued.
''It's something we have looked at,'' he said.
The distraught grandmother of Kiesha and Ayden, Liz Weippeart, said yesterday that both her grandchildren had now been taken from her and she wanted her grandson's death re-investigated.
Ms Weippeart said she had cared for Ayden for the first six weeks of his life.
''He slept in my bed,'' she said.
But he had died just four days after leaving her care to live with his mother, she said.
Yesterday Detective Inspector Oxford said investigations into Kiesha's alleged murder were continuing.
An autopsy is expected to be conducted tomorrow on skeletal remains found in bushland at Shalvey, near Mount Druitt, just hours after Ms Abraham and Mr Smith's arrest in a nearby laneway.
Kiesha was reported missing on August 1 last year, but police believe her mother and stepfather killed her at least four days before that.
Following Kiesha's disappearance, a spokeswoman for the NSW Coroner said Ayden's death had been investigated and there were no suspicious findings.

I don't understand the outcry against Obama's SOTU address where he talked about using more executive orders. It's even more ironic if you consider that conservative presidents like Reagan actually used more than him back in the 80s. Such a non-issue.
2 comments
I think to date Bush used more. And honestly even if it is somewhat dubious its completely justifiable by the fact that the republicans are essentially holding the government hostage over healthcare.

Five Reasons to Repeal Farm Subsidies
Cato held a packed forum on Capitol Hill yesterday examining major farm legislation that is moving through Congress. Our panelists included Andrew Moylan of R Street, Josh Sewell of Taxpayers for Common Sense, and Scott Faber of the Environmental Working Group.
Farm Bill Would Increase Spending by 47%
House and Senate farm subsidy supporters are pushing to enact the first big farm bill since 2008. Democratic and Republican supporters say that this year's legislation will be a reform bill that cuts spending. Hogwash.
Corporate Tax Avoidance: Where's the Harm?
Politicians are having fun slapping around big corporations for supposedly not paying enough taxes. In this country, Apple is the current target, while in Europe it's Google, Amazon, and Starbucks, according to the Washington Post today.
More Firings Needed at the IRS—TSA Precedents
I've watched the congressional hearings on the IRS scandal, and like others, have been appalled at the glib performance of former IRS Commissioner, Douglas Shulman. Shulman isn't taking an ounce of blame for the mess even though he headed the agency from 2008 to 2012. Dana Milbank reviews his slippery and rather arrogant performance in the Washington Post today.
The Realities of Government Infrastructure
Politicians and liberal economists get misty-eyed when thinking about grand infrastructure projects. But recent stories in the Washington Post about D.C.-area projects illustrate the realities of government capital investments.
Apple Defends Itself against Tax-Hungry Senators
A Senate Subcommittee chaired by Senator Carl Levin heard from three panels of witnesses today on Apple Inc.'s corporate tax payments.
IRS Abuses Past and Present
The stories coming out about IRS abuses of nonprofit groups are appalling. We will likely find out that arrogant and biased officials are to blame, as well as members of Congress who pushed them to be especially aggressive on conservative groups.
IRS Budget Soars
The revelations of IRS officials targeting conservative and libertarian groups suggest that now is a good time for lawmakers to review a broad range of the agency's activities. Since the agency's last overhaul in the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998, its budget has exploded from $33 billion to a proposed $106 billion in 2013.
Heritage Immigration Study and Government Spending
Conservative and libertarian scholars are clashing over the findings and political implications of the new Heritage Foundation immigration study. The study spans 92 pages and is jam-packed full of statistics and detailed calculations.
Washington Sport: Throwing Competitors under the Bus
One reason why Washington keeps getting bigger is that so many business people are willing to throw their competitors under the government bus. The Washington Post today describes how a major lobby group representing small banks cut a secret deal with Rep. Barney Frank to not oppose his big-government financial bill if it excluded small banks from regulations and shifted $1.5 billion in annual fees from them to the big banks.

Hashem el-Tarif
Hashem el-Tarif is a mountain located in northeast Egyptian, Sinai, close to the border of modern Israel. According to Google Earth, the name of the mountain is "Gebel Khashm el Tarif," its coordinates being near 29°40'9.18"N and 34°38'0.28"E.
Mount Sinai Claims[edit]
Hashem el-Tarif is one of several proposed locations of the biblical Mount Sinai.
The Exodus Decoded[edit]
The James Cameron-produced History Channel special, The Exodus Decoded, suggests that this location, now in an Egyptian military zone, is the best candidate for the Biblical Mount Sinai. The program claims that it not only features "Biblical geographical" clues, but that it also possesses three important traits described in Exodus:
- A cleft that overlooks a natural amphitheatre, from which a speaker could have been observed and heard from a great distance.
- A plateau below the clef large enough to have held several hundred thousand people and to have contained enough vegetation to sustain large flocks. The plateau also contains one of the largest concentrations of ancient open-air fire pits in the region (many still visible as ruins), as well as many graves.
- Calcium deposits that provide evidence of an ancient spring (now dry) which was located on the top of the mountain - a fairly rare geological feature.[1]
Another argument used in the documentary to strengthen the claim that Hashem el-Tarif is the Biblical Mount Sinai is that in the Bible Mount Sinai is described as a "holy mountain", and Hashem el-Tarif contains several ancient stone shrines all around it, as well as graves of apparently prominent persons near its summit The final argument in favor of Hashem el-Tarif is the fact that the traditional Jebel Musa is devoid of any of the above and surrounded by a granite plateau unsuitable for herding sheep. According to the documentary, though, despite all this evidence, permission for archeological excavation was not granted to them by the Egyptian military, which the documentary claims closely guards and restricts access to the mountain.[2]
The Naked Archaeologist[edit]
Simcha Jacobovici in an episode of The Naked Archaeologist explored several mountains as possible candidates for the biblical Mount Sinai. Potential candidates had to meet the following criteria:
- The mountain must have at its base a large plateau that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of Biblical Israelites.
- It must have a water source to support the people camping at the foot of the mountain.
- It must be accessible and easy to climb.
- It must have symbols of worship; archaeological evidence proving that the mountain was "holy" even before the time of Moses. (He claims the plateau of Hashem el-Tarif contains 33 open-air sanctuaries; the largest number of open-air sanctuaries next to a mountain in the eastern Sinai ever found.)
- It must be located somewhere along the ancient route of the Exodus.
- It must have a natural spring at its top.
In addition to these criteria, Jacobovici claimed that, according to Biblical text, the mountain must also:
- Be a fourteen-day journey from "Elim" (Exodus 16:1). For a mass of people, a days journey was assumed to be 15 km per day. A fourteen-day journey would be about 210 km.
- Be an eleven-day journey from Kadesh Barnea (Deuteronomy 1:2), approximately 165 km.
- Be within "goat grazing distance" of Midianite territory. Moses was tending his father-in-law's goats at the time of his first encounter on Mount Sinai (Exodus 3). Based on modern Bedouin practises, this was assumed to be 60 to 70 km from a camp (or further in the event of drought). Midianite pottery and art have been found at Timna, assumed to be the only Midianite enclave in the Sinai.
Using these points of reference to triangulate possible locations, Jacobovici claims that Hashem el-Tarif is the most likely candidate for the biblical Mount Sinai.
The hypothesis that this mountain is the original Mount Sinai has faced criticism.[3] Some of the arguments against the proposal that Hashem el-Tarif is Mount Sinai are as follows:
- There is no mention in history of Hashem el-Tarif, nor any well-known local tradition pointing to it as Mount Sinai.
- Neither Rabbinic-era Jewish tradition, nor 3rd Century Christian traditions recognize a particular mountain as Mount Sinai.[citation needed]

Lady Jays fall in two extra-inning district battles
By Jamie Anfenson-Comeau
The St. Edmund Lady Jays dropped a 5-4 decision to St. Joseph Wednesday night in their first District 6-1A outing after going into six extra innings.
"That was an outstanding game," Lady Jay Coach Louise Johnson said afterwards.
"These were two outstanding teams playing, and in the end, somebody got it done, and somebody didn't. But really and truly I think that both teams played an outstanding game."
The Lady Jays (12-7; 0-1) drew first blood when Ashley LaFleur scored on an error in the bottom of the third.
But the Lady Eagles tied the score in the top of the fourth when Krisma James reached on an error and scored on Katie Mayeux's sacrifice.
St. Joe's scored two more runs in the top of the ninth when Lauren Plauche singled and was driven home on James' double. James then scored on a sacrifice fly by Katie Gauthier out to center.
But in the second half, Leah Andrus' 2-RBI base hit kept the Lady Jays alive.
In the top of the thirteenth, James drew a walk and Gauthier singled; both were able to score on a Lady Jay error.
St. Eds scored one run in the second half on a sacrifice before the Lady Eagles closed the door on the inning.
Johnson commended Andrus, who pitched all 13 innings for the Lady Jays, giving up five runs and eight hits. Andrus walked two batters and struck out nine.
Catholic-P.C. 5,
St. Edmund 4
On Thursday, the Lady Jays fell in another district battle after extra innings, dropping a 5-4 decision to Catholic of Pointe Coupee after the Lady Hornets scored a home run in the eighth inning.
St. Eds (12-8; 0-2) scored took the lead in the top of the first inning when leadoff batter Ashlyn Deaville singled, advanced on Brittany Fontenot's sacrifice, and scored when Anne-Marie Himel reached on an error.
The Lady Hornets took the lead in the second half, scoring two runs.
They added two more runs in the bottom of the second inning, extending their lead to 4-1.
But St. Eds rallied in the top of the seventh, loading the bases with no outs before Deaville tripled to score three runs, tying the score and forcing the extra inning.
The Lady Hornets held St. Eds scoreless throughout the first half of the eighth inning.
Then Kathleen Bosey opened up the second half with a home run on a 3-2 count, quickly ending the game.
The Lady Jays continue district play at home this week, hosting the Lady Gators of False River Academy at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Spring is just around the corner. I can feel it.
This framed original painting is newly listed in my Etsy shop
This is a nice little photo of a mushroom amongst the burning bush foliage in our garden this past fall.
My little muse...
While scrolling through Facebook one day a few months ago I spotted a post from our local animal control. A puppy who had been dropped off and mistreated, needed a home. I have always had kitties and never thought about having a dog. We are in the midst of renovating an old house and it's always a little crazy and undone in here! However I fell in love with this little face as soon as I saw it. I showed the post to Jason and he said "when are you going to pick him up"? Yes! Jason is awesome! Applications, home visits and lots of vet stuff later I went to pick up Oliver. He was very scared and other than Jason wanted nothing to do with men or children. Immediately though he was my right hand puppy! He follows me everywhere and is the best studio puppy there ever was. So be on the lookout for lots of little dogs in my upcoming work.

State Senate president asks Time Warner to lower bills in WTMJ blackout
Wisconsin Senate President Mike Ellis (R-Neenah) has sent a letter to Time Warner Cable asking that it lower the bills of customers affected by the blackout of three stations in the retransmission dispute with Journal Broadcast Group.
"My intention is not to take sides but rather to look out for my constituents in this dispute," Ellis wrote. "It is clear your customers are no longer receiving the service they are paying for" and he urges Time Warner to "reduce their bills appropriately."

No One Knows What's Going On In Miami Yet
Word on the street is that there are changes coming for the Miami Dolphins coaching staff. What changes exactly?
Jeff Darlington of NFL Network reports that there's "little sense" from sources about what Dolphins owner Stephen Ross will decide: to clean house or if it's more targeted to one person. Mike Sherman perhaps? Darlington speculates that if general manager Jeff Ireland is let go, Dawn Aponte could be in.
As for the atmosphere in Miami? "Eerily quiet", Ian Rapoport of NFL Network says. Per Rapoport, no one knows what's going to happen because Ross hasn't communicated to anyone.

There are so many different things that illustrate the Holiday Season, it is difficult to choose just one. Some are based on the Christmas event, some on the delightful traditions such as trees and wreaths, but before there were any preconceived notions regarding how to celebrate, there was the beauty of winter. Our artists have skillfully captured that beauty in our Winter Scene Christmas Cards and Business Holiday Cards.
All one has to do is look out the window or walk in the woods to feel the exquisite, sparkling globe that is our planet. From the sanctity of snow covered branches forming a lacy roof above your head, to the boisterous laughter of fun lovers swooping down trails on skis or sleds, there is a purity that is beyond compare.
Just as seeing a diamond among stones of onyx elevates the appreciation of its beauty, so the sighting of a fiery cardinal or a majestic stag intensifies their impact on our senses. The very notion that a host of animals have evolved to not only endure, but also to relish the elements of the season, is awesome. The fearsome polar bear that nature has blessed with a white coat for protection from other predators and from the cold, and the graceful caribou who roams the polar region existing on lichens for sustenance have come to represent the epitome of the circle of life.
Whether your preference is religious or secular, nature is a positive and universally accepted platform for your message to be communicated to those you wish to reach in your business Christmas cards or personal holiday cards.

It helps to have a bit of context before delving into (deep breath...) Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legends, so let us enter the WayBack machine for a moment.
I just opened up an old issue of the now defunct Ultra Game Players magazine to remind myself how big Tomb Raider once was. It's the Holiday 1996 issue, actually. Lara Croft's on the cover, poorly rendered. She's blowing gunsmoke from her pistol and wearing a very, very ugly red thing on her head. I think it's supposed to be a "Santa Cap", for wont of a better term. It's not the only image of Lara in UGP #92, either; not including gameplay stills or advertisements, Lara's buxom figure can be spotted 9 times, posing in various uncomfortable-looking environments. I guess she's supposed to look "sexy," but mostly she just looks pained and contorted, never more so than on that cover render with that hideous Santa thing on her head.
On page 78, Lara's first game, Tomb Raider, is reviewed by the erstwhile Patrick Baggatta, who as far as I know is no longer working the game journalist racket. He fawned over it, giving a game that in retrospect was complete shit a 9.5. Mr. Baggatta felt so strongly about Tomb Raider that he awarded it The ULTRA AWARD, which looks similar to a KMFDM album cover. That is respect, right there. If the creepy KMFDM hand award and positive score were not convincing enough, Baggatta ends his review with this sentence: "Without question, one of the very best games available... Tomb Raider is a must-have for any system." I'd call that a ringing endorsement!
Mr. Baggatta lavished some serious hype on the first Tomb Raider game in this issue of Ultra Game Players, but he did something else, too. He explained to his readers how Crystal Dynamics developed such a stellar product. Here is Baggatta's hypothesis as to why Tomb Raider was such a successful game:
"What's most impressive about Tomb Raider, however, is the fact that the game engine was a sure hit from the start and a more fiscally cautious publisher might have rushed the product in an effort to cash in on the novelty factor, but this was not the case."
Hindsight, they say, is 20/20. Eidos has done almost nothing but cash in on the novelty factor of the Tomb Raider games (so they could fund the development of winners like Omikron: the Nomad Soul?), shipping a new game to Electronics Boutique every year even though consumers had no genuine use for the product.. After something like a dozen million Tomb Raider sequels, each slightly worse than the last one, a slow but inevitable decline set in. In recent years, Tomb Raider had become little more than a mildly retarded 3D adventure game-cum-stone block arrangement simulator.
This is important, though - Tomb Raider was stupid big. Ginormous sales. Time Magazine articles, Wired cover stories, underrated Angelina Jolie feature films, you name it. I think one can argue that Tomb Raider was the first game to attract mainstream press not as a children's plaything, but as a legitimate form of entertainment, however infantile the Mainstream Media portrayed it. Had the Tomb Raider series continued to take half as many risks as the first game did, who knows how many innovations the series could have introduced? By the fourth sequel or so we might have even seen Lara develop into a fully formed woman instead of a wet dream with an endlessly repartee of snarky quips, a woman with a real personality, a woman whose actions would drive a narrative directly connected to her character... you know, the way narratives have been structured since the beginning of freaking time?
Games design in general has gone in a very different direction, however, and at this point I need to accept videogame story lines as superfluous extras; if I want a story, I'll watch Gilmore Girls or something. Tomb Raider: Legend does not have any witty banter between Lorali and Rory, but the Gilmore Girls doesn't involve chasing down some kind of mystical sword before a mostly dead sister gets it... lest Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung's theories on shared subconscious and mono-mythology lead to the destruction of the Earth.
Whatever. Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend is not Metal Gear Solid 2. Heck, this game doesn't come close to 1up.com Username Chriservin22's Favorite Videogame Plot Ever, Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!! -- there's at least 5 different layers of complexity to that narrative.
At least Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend tries pretty hard to weave a thrilling yarn. It's just that the yarn spun is kind of disjointed and told in the most histrionic way possible. Luckily, Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend works so well as an action/adventure game, the extraneous story isn't much more than a nuisance.
Although Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend is exponentially better than the last Tomb Raider game I slogged though (Last Revelation, on Dreamcast), both games rely on the same basic mechanics:
- enter big room
- look around big room
- accidently step on a pressure plate which will be releasing spikes that instantly kill you
- reload
- enter big room looking to discover logical route to exit room
- notice logical route requires Lara to make all sorts of effing crazy jumps and backflips
- perform said jumps and backflips; enter smaller room crawling with things that want to kill Lara
- kill said things with a shooting mechanic that can't help but feel a little weak
- repeat
This works so well because Crystal Dynamics wisely ripped off as many elements as they could from Ubi Soft's Prince of Persia series as possible. Ubi Soft borrowed fairly heavily from Tomb Raider when they designed their first good 3D Prince title, anyway, and Tomb Raider was a 3D "re-imagining" of the oldskool roto-scoped Prince of Persia Broderbround games for the Apple II. Everyone steals from everyone; there would be much learning of new control schema otherwise.
Sadly, Crystal Dynamics wasn't just stealing Ubi Soft's stuff. In their infinite wisdom, they grafted on some Quick Timer Events for no readily apparent reason. Worse, they screwed the mechanic up. By giving the player absolutely no warning that a QTE is coming up, the player is almost certainly going to die half a second after that first unexpected green triangle pops onto the screen. Even Shenmue, the gameplay of which otherwise revolved around picking stupid looking things up off the ground and looking at them (sidenote: I effing hate Shenmue) warned you whenever some fat kid kicked a damn soccer ball at your face .
There are only a handful of moments where these QTE's crop up in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend, making their inclusion at all perplexing. I mean, if you're gonna put QTE's into your game, shouldn't you actually bother to build gameplay around the damn things?
Outside of the QTE's and the asinine, nonsensical plot, Lara Croft Tomb Raider Legend plays a solid game. Some of the middle and late levels are as awesome as a robot programed to entertain children by break dancing until the end of time, throwing fun puzzles and shootouts at you constantly while keeping cheap deaths at a minimum.
The real selling point is the genius level design. Metriod Prime and the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time are the only two other action/adventure games I can think of off the top of my head that pull off the same vast environmental scale as well as Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend. There is a lot tomb raiding in this game, but each tomb is fully realized and unique unto itself. Furthermore, each level begins how the first scene of Indiana Jones & the Raiders of the Lost Ark ends, with a pitched battle between archeologist and others.
The attention to detail in Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Legend is what makes this something special. Three minutes into the game, you can move Lara right up to the edge of a tremendously high peak and stare straight down into the cloudy abyss below. It is a positively vertiginous little moment, a completely unnecessary gesture from the development team, the sort of thing that gamers racing to beat the game so they can post vulgar messages on forums telling the world how much better at videogames they are might never notice. It's a sign that Crystal Dynamics cares again.
Check out Croft Manor for another sign that the people who put this game together love this franchise. Historically, the Croft Manor has been an afterthought tutorial level hybrid Tomb Raider fans barely acknowledge. Not in Legend -- Ms. Croft's mansion is a sizable environment filled with secret passageways and ingenious gymnasiums -- a huge playground that is nearly as exciting to explore as the actual campaign missions.
Patrick Baggatta was right, ten years ago -- Crystal Dynamics built a solid engine this time around, and they were given the time and the space to develop a very quality game. It's a shame it took 9 years between good Tomb Raider videogames, but que serra, serra.

Comments about Buyers Snowplow Oil - Low-Temperature:
I have had plow trucks for 25 yrs. Always used ATF in the pumps. never had my fluid freeze. This year I serviced my pump and used this overpriced product and have had my pump fluid freeze up at 5 degrees above 0. It is a huge waste of money. you can buy 3 qts of ATF for the price of 1 qt. of this oil. Save your money and don't buy this.

Q:I have a fisher minute man snow plow since new in 1997. Have always used ATF because it says to on pump and in manual- but is sluggish with sd winter cold. Would it be ok to switch to this fluid?
1 answer
A:Yes Grizzly1, you can very well switch to this low-temperature hydraulic fluid for high-pressure snowplow hydraulic systems. The antiwear formula protects to -50 degrees Fahrenheit. It replaces Meyer 15134, Western 49311, Fisher 28531, Sno-Way 96005029 oils.
Q:Can I use this Snowplow oil in my Curtis Snowplow in place of the recommended P/N 1TBP123?
1 answer
A:Hi SPARKY! great question! This snowplow oil replaces any of the following oils: Meyer 15134, Western 49311, Fisher 28531, Sno-Way 96005029.
Q:Need MSDS for this product.
1 answer
A:Please refer this below link for MSDS
Q:is this the same as atf fluid just for a lower temperature?
2 answers
A:No, this is oil for a snow plow.
A:ATF is fine for snowplows, but this stuff is better for its flow characteristics and protection of the pump. the best thing to use is manufacturer brand, but this is a close second. i actually never use ATF in a ford p/s pump though because they kill ATF. p/s fliud is better for that; doesn't burn up or thin out as fast. i'd prefer p/s fluid over ATF for my plow, but only if they didn't make this oil anymore. it doesn't slow down in colder temps like ATF or p/s fluid
Q:will this work on a boss snow plow
1 answer
A:If you snow plow uses any one of the following oils, you can use this oil with it: Meyer 15134, Western 49311, Fisher 28531, Sno-Way 96005029

Johnson, Gomes Banned After Game Melee
NEW YORK -- Milwaukee's Carlos Gomez admitted he went too far with a hyped-up home run trot that ended in a benches-clearing scuffle against the Atlanta Braves.
Gomez was suspended Thursday along with Atlanta's Reed Johnson for one game by Major League Baseball for their actions during the Brewers-Braves game a day earlier. Both players were fined an undisclosed amount.
Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman and catcher Brian McCann also were fined for their involvement.
Gomez accepted his suspension and sat out Thursday night's game against the Mets.

President Barack Obama has received strong support from fellow Democrats on Capitol Hill during his five-plus years in the White House.
But that presidential advantage appears to be at rising risk.
As Tuesday's Wall Street Journal reported, a climbing number of Democratic federal lawmakers, including some congressional leaders, "are parting ways" with the president "on issues including trade, energy and health care as the gap widens between the political demands of keeping control of the Senate and advancing parts of the White House agenda."
And the political concerns shared by many congressional Democrats aren't limited to maintaining the party's Senate majority in this fall's elections.
Few analysts now give the Democrats any realistic chance of recapturing the House. That's a rough letdown from the party's heady expectations in the wake of President Obama's re-election victory 15 months ago.
Though Republicans retained their control of the House in 2012, their grip slipped from a 41-vote to a 33-vote edge (it's now 32).
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, chief strategist of the party's attempt to hold that chamber, met with Mr. Obama on Monday in the Oval Office. Administration and party officials later dismissed reports of growing strains between Democratic lawmakers and the president.
However, as the Journal accurately put it: "Vulnerable Democrats are bluntly criticizing the rollout of the 2010 health-care law. Even an under-the-radar issue such as a flood-insurance bill has been a point of tension."
And even as assorted Senate and House Democrats running for re-election run away from the ongoing Obamacare debacle, more bad news about it came Tuesday.
From The Washington Post: "The Affordable Care Act will reduce the number of full-time workers by more than 2 million in coming years, congressional budget analysts said Tuesday in the most detailed analysis of the law's impact on jobs. After obtaining coverage through the health law, some workers may forgo employment, while others may reduce hours, according to a report by the Congressional Budget Office."
Voters can't blame those ill effects on any GOP lawmakers - because none of them voted for Obamacare. In a rare, sizable break with the president, even 34 House Democrats joined that unanimous Republican "no" vote on the Affordable Care Act, which passed that chamber by a mere 219-212 margin in 2010. Justified alarm over the law then helped the GOP win back the House later that year - and keep control of it in 2012.
And now the partisan solidarity Mr. Obama has generally enjoyed is clearly in jeopardy.
Yes, Republicans have serious divisions of their own, including a potentially defining rift on immigration reform.
Still, if Democratic resistance to the president keeps ascending, it will further undermine his already-shaky attempts to solely blame the GOP House for congressional inaction.
In other words, as for rubber-stamp approval from fellow Democrats for President Obama's policies, that party just might be over.

Beautiful Brochures and Booklets
- By Vitaly Friedman
- June 16th, 2008
- 137 Comments
In corporate design brochures and booklets are a standard tool for promotion and advertising. They are little books or magazines which lay around in conference halls, offices and waiting rooms. Sometimes they contain an annual report of the company or showcase the portfolio of an artist. Brochures can also be included in CDs and DVDs; however, usually they are given away as freebies (e.g. they may contain a calendar or some poster inside).
In either case, booklets serve advertising purposes and since they are usually short (max. 25-30 pages) they need to look good and be informative to focus users' attention and effectively convey the message. Unfortunately, only a few brochures are indeed designed with close attention to details. However, there are some options for creative and appealing booklet and brochure design.
This post showcases beautiful examples of brochure and booklet layout. We have tried to include creative, visually appealing and interesting design solutions; the booklets presented below are nice to have in the hand and take with you. Hopefully, everybody will find something interesting and unusual for herself or himself.

The choice of colors is impressive and eye-catching: this is what makes a good brochure design. Created by Rob Brearley, RGB design studio.

Car Color Timeline Link
The objective behind this piece was to come up with a method to organize information as simple as the color of cars in the most effective and interesting way. Using a timeline system, the structure of Art Center's Hillside parking lot was organized in step-by-step panels.
The timeline starts with raw data taken from photos and information gathered from each individual car. The data is then broken down into abstract shapes and optical mixing, giving the viewer various choices depending on their personal visual preference. At the end the data is compiled in a fairly generic information graphic. Winner of Adobe Education 2007 Award. Designed by Aaron Kapor.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the summer of 2016. It seems that just yesterday it was the first day of school in September. We have had a very successful school year and our children have had many achievements. During the past year at the Hancock and the LaBrum Schools, we have done our best to provide effective and rigorous instructional programs and opportunities for every one of our students. In addition to high-level academics, we were able to offer extracurricular activities at both schools including robotics, tutoring, skating parties, Drama Club, Student Council, Father-Daughter Dance, Mother Son Bowling, Reading Olympics, Ice Cream Social, Dancing Classrooms, Safety Patrol and the sports teams at LaBrum. Our Drama Club's Lion King play was absolutely wonderful!
