Skip to comments.BREAKING NEWS: Obama to call for 5-year freeze on non-security spending, White House says
Posted on 01/25/2011 9:40:57 AM PST by Hawk720
headline only
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
With all sorts of stuff redefined as "security"...
As if.
Big Fat Hairy Deal, after the massive run-up in spending over the last few years. We need to CUT spending, not just freeze it at the current insane levels.
A freeze does nothing except leaves the deficits at above $1 trillion yearly but actual cuts decrease the trillion dollar deficits.
...AND the sheeple will cheer this great apron string tightener...forgetting that he is the one who put us in the situation in the first place. He's pulling a Bill Clinton and he will get away with it.
Yep! Security is going to become the next bastardized political watchword!
"Freeze" - that would mean no increases, but then, it also means no REDUCTIONS....
If revenues continue, for a variety of reasons, falling, and outlays remain 'frozen', that works out to an ever-increasing deficit...
Thanks for nothin'......
Freezing spending at too-high levels fixes nothing. In fact, it makes things worse.
So he wants to lock-in the drunken sailor spending for 5 more years with no roll-back?
Freez at 2008 levels ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly. Freezing it at his spendthrift level accomplishes nothing. (And if you believe he'd even stick to that after re-election, he's got a high-speed rail project to sell you too!)
Freeze at 2008 levels ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (or earlier)
He just wants to LOCK IN the $1.4 trillion deficit
Freeze spending at a record high level???? Nice try.
If you're spending too much, you don't freeze the spending at the "too much" level.
You CUT spending.
"Calling" for it, and "getting" it, are two very different things....
Got his socialist DeathCare passed so it`s IN, can`t be subject to any freeze.
His agenda is passed, Czars rule by decree so he can feint to the middle and pretend to be moderate for 2 years.
Re-election is guaranteed.
Bookmark this one in stone
"he makes it his policy to spend no more money?"
Where do you see him promising to spend "no more money"?
His "freeze" is a lie meant to make it look like he's reducing spending, but in reality he's fixing spending increases at current levels. He's doubled spending in the last two years for his progressive b.s. and intends to keep spending. We need to cut spending, not fix the increase at present levels.
Freeze spending at high levels, then say you need higher taxes.
Spending levels are already too high. They should be CUT.
Freeze means only the usual 5% annual increase but no more beyond that and this time I mean it.
Correction: Freezes his spending level at its highest. Clever, no?
Freeze spending vs. cutting spending ?
Not convinced Mr. Soetero has seen the light, and nothing he talks about tonight will change that. He is a marxist, he doesn't plan to do what is necessary.
If he were to drive getting some serious cuts in spending done... he would finally have his first accomplishment in office. His whacked-out liberal ideology is in the way, he won't do it.
Yes, spending levels are too high, and people are rightfully demanding serious cuts. The cuts are the correct solution. The fact that Obama is not promising cuts is a clear indication that he doesn't "get it".
But the really essential thing is that Obama is not honestly calling for even a true freeze (as bad as that would be). He's going to call it a freeze, and then he's going to increase spending. He is shameless.
Defund Obamacare, HHS, HUD, DOE, EPA, UN and then cut back to 04 levels.
Agreed. Obama is probably using the "baseline spending" ruse which has built in annual increases. Also, according to the article he is allegedly "freezing" only "non-security, discretionary" spending. That excludes so called "emergency" spending which is just about everything in the budget. He's also probably excluding his "investments" which, of course, are not spending at all.
Since the Democrats think this is such a great idea, and they also think Bill Clinton was such a great president, let's freeze spending alright....at the level of Bill Clinton's last year in office, 2000.
After he jacks up our spending, he thinks it is an accomplishment to freeze it at that level for 5 years. We can't MAINTAIN that level of spending for 5 years.
Looks like the Obama speech-writers are having a hard time today. They're throwing out all kinds of trial balloons.
No bailouts of any kind?
Congressmen Brad Sherman and Paul Kanjorski and Senator James Inhofe all say that the government warned of martial law if Tarp wasn't passed.
Obama responded, You know, if my neighbors house is on fire, even if they were smoking in the bedroom or leaving the stove on, right now my main incentive is to put out that fire so that it doesnt spread to my house.
No investment in green technology?
WASHINGTON The changing global climate will pose profound strategic challenges to the United States in coming decades, raising the prospect of military intervention to deal with the effects of violent storms, drought, mass migration and pandemics, military and intelligence analysts say.
Such climate-induced crises could topple governments, feed terrorist movements or destabilize entire regions, say the analysts, experts at the Pentagon and intelligence agencies who for the first time are taking a serious look at the national security implications of climate change.
No additional funds for education?
At a ceremony at the White House on Tuesday, First Lady Michelle Obama announced the launch of the 'Let's Move' campaign to end childhood obesity in the United States, an epidemic she said is costly and a threat to national security.
By "No More Money" I mean he proposes to not spend more money than the current budget...not that he isn't spending ANY more money...just no more/no less...
If just 30% of the population were as savvy as Freepers then I would be amused by this lame bit of legerdemain.
Unfortunately, they aren't and we are soooo screwed!
This sounds like a last ditch effort to prevent REDUCTIONS in spending! Don't fall for it!
We can expect it to be a Balanced Budget in no time.
Yes. Global warming/climate change is a national security threat, you betcha.
What "budget"???
It's a CON! Just like the pay freezes in federal employees. The pay rates were frozen, but EVERYONE got merit/step increases into the next higher pay grade, so although they technically did not get "raises" their pay increased because they were re-classified into a higher grade where the "frozen pay rate" was above the "frozen pay grade" they were just promoted out of.
No matter how thin you slice it, it's still baloney!
This from the professional liar himself.
"Freeze" at the highest levels in history
This @ssclown takes us for idiots.
If for two years I or my spouse run up our credit card debt by spending $1,000 a month more than we bring in, we don't "freeze" our spending at a level that's already been proven to be a disaster, we cut back until we actually start chewing into the accumulated debt. Or we figure out how to make a lot more money.
Obama is incapable of pursuing either approach.
51% of the country ARE idiots... the Dem voters to be specific.
Usually these "freezes" mean nothing beyond inflationary increases. So the budget will contiue to grow along with the deficits.
Food security
Healthcare security
House security
Heating and cooling security

America is beautiful – but sometimes hard to love
Published 30/04/2014 | 02:30
One of the more tedious refrains of the unthinking liberal left in Ireland is that America is somehow the source of all the world's evil. It's trite and it's trying but it's the kind of sentiment that guarantees you will never be out of step with the herd.
After all, it's so much easier to look at the world's madmen, despots and genocidaires and place the blame on the Great Satan for supporting them.
And if we can't blame the Great Satan for supporting them? Well, then it's obviously America's fault for annoying them. It's a remarkable piece of circular logic which seeks to place the Yanks as the root cause of all the bad ju-ju in the world. After all, the inconvenient truth is that the cause of Islamic extremism is ... Islamic extremism. It's an expansionist ideology that has been around for centuries.
But still, much better to blame those people who won't actually kill you for expressing a negative opinion about them, eh?
I'm quite happy to state America is the most incredible country we have ever seen – a place where the individual can thrive, if they work hard enough; a place founded on the finest Constitution, which is buttressed by the most beautiful political document ever written, the Bill of Rights.
In fact, you only need to look at the First Amendment and its promise that: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble ... " to understand that this was a country founded on a set of principles far more noble and egalitarian than any we see elsewhere on the planet.
But, by God, it can be hard to love the place at times.
In fact, this is a week that will go down in memory as one that casts a shadow on this bright shiny city on a hill.
John Kerry's astonishing – and factually incorrect – use of the word 'apartheid' in relation to Israel this week will appal many and I suppose we should take his admission that "if I could rewind the tape, I would choose a different word" as some sort of apology.
Then there is their continued provocation of Russia and the flagrant reneging on their post Cold War promise not to engage in NATO's expansion onto Russia's borders.
Nobody on this side of the fence has any time for Putin and his thugs but yet again the Yanks are displaying a compete inability to see things from Russia's perspective – how would they react if Mexico suddenly started to allow Russian troops and warships congregate along the border and in the Gulf of Mexico?
The Americans may yet find that poking the Bear comes at a cost they're not willing to pay, but such is international geopolitics.
But the great stain, the blood-soaked blemish on their soul, from a national rather than international point of view, is surely the death penalty.
And yesterday's double execution in Oklahoma of two men – guilty of horrific crimes, of that there is no doubt – is yet another incremental step away from the noble ideal that America is meant to represent.
This is a country that likes to present the concept of 'American exceptionalism', which states that their country is different to others and better than all.
And, in theory, they are undoubtedly right.
But only tyrannies execute their own citizens when they're not at war.
The simple fact is that as long as America continues to execute its citizens, even the bad guys, it can take no moral high ground when lecturing countries such as China.
After all, the difference between China's execution rate and the one in America is of scale, not integrity.
And for those liberals who still lionise Bill Clinton?
Maybe they would do well to remember that, in the face of accusations that he was soft on crime, he took time out from his first presidential campaign trail to return to Arkansas to sign the death warrant for the mentally retarded Ricky Ray Rector.
This, lest we forget, was a man with the mental age of a child who, when asked why he had put aside the dessert from his last meal, replied: "I'm saving it for tomorrow."
And if that doesn't say everything we need to know about the abomination of capital punishment, I don't know what does.
Who wudda thunk it
It turns out that of all the most deadly creatures on the planet, the shark is, as every schoolboy knows, not very dangerous at all.
In fact, the awe-inspiring creature only kills a couple of people a year and it is their own fault – if you play in the water, you can't complain if you're bitten.
But I must admit that I was surprised to see that snails kill more people a year – 10,000 – than the shark. So I'm going to change my desire to go shark fishing – only for tag and release, natch – and instead take up snail catching.
Ah yes, one man, wearing suitable attire, drinking beer and pitting myself against the deadly, primal forces of the ... snail.
I tried it in the back garden last night and, frankly, crawling around the grass, saying "we're going to need a bigger jar" just isn't as much fun as open-water fishing, and the bloody neighbours called the cops.
Hemingway didn't have to put up with that nonsense, I can tell you.
So a feud has broken out between Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kimye over the Buffy star's sneering at that infamous Vogue cover.
Now Kardashian and Kanye, a couple so obviously thick that if you combined their intellect you'd still struggle to come up with a half-wit, have vowed to exact revenge.
So in the one corner, you have the woman who played the greatest action character in decades versus a bird whose superpower is having a giant arse. I know who my money's on.

Classical producer Alspaugh wins Grammy for Florentine/MSO recording
A project with ties to Milwaukee won a Grammy Award early Sunday night in the hours before the start of the 55th annual awards show in Los Angeles.
Blanton Alspaugh won the Grammy for classical producer of the year, in part for his work on the Florentine Opera and the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra's recording of "Davis: Rio De Sangre," an original opera from Don Davis. »Read Full Article
Milwaukee Opera Theatre, Genghis Barbie rock the art song
Audiences at opera singers' recitals do not, customarily, pump their arms and cheer. Of course, singers at said recitals don't usually perform tunes by Queen and Guns N' Roses flanked by a quartet of female horn players, either.
Saturday evening's Milwaukee Opera Theatre presentation of Andrew Wilkowske in "Guns N' Rosenkavalier," directed by John Glover at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, was a riot of rule-breaking, genre-bending tunes from the worlds of art song and rock. »Read Full Article

The Consequences of Welfare Reform and Economic Change for the Food Stamp Program--Illustrations from Microsimulation: Final Report
Stay Connected
Electronic Publications from the Food Assistance & Nutrition Research Program No. (EFAN-01-003) 98 pp, January 2001
This report summarizes the results of a longitudinal microsimulation model known as MATH STEWARD that was used to explore how state welfare reform and economic changes between 1992 and 1998 might have affected the Food Stamp Program and how an economic recession might affect food stamp outcomes. Slightly over half of the reductions in FSP caseloads and costs between December 1992 and December 1998 were simulated. About one-third of the simulated reductions in caseloads and costs could be attributed to changes in state welfare and child care policies; about two-thirds could be attributed to changes in state unemployment rates. In a future recession similar to the 1990-92 recession, food stamp caseloads could increase about 11 percent and food stamp costs could increase about 13 percent.

HONG KONG—Burma's President Thein Sein met with Chinese special envoy Fu Ying and a high-ranking Chinese military delegation in Rangoon on Saturday to discuss the ongoing Kachin conflict, which is raging near China's southwestern border.
The outcome of the talks remain unclear as Chinese authorities have not spelled out their strategy for addressing the ethnic conflict. But there are signs that China is growing increasingly concerned over the unrest, which could spill over into its territory.
Following Saturday's meeting, the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry released a statement saying that Thein Sein and Fu Ying had "exchanged views on deepening the Sino-Burmese strategic partnership and have agreed to protect peace and stability in the Sino-Burmese border areas."
"We hope to maintain peace in the border areas, so that the border population can go about their ordinary lives," Fu told Chinese Central Television. "Both sides agree on this point."
Thein Sein's office provided few details on the meeting and only mentioned that the president and Chinese officials discussed "matters related to amity and cooperation between the two countries, assistance to Myanmar and border area stability."
A ceasefire between the Burmese government and the Kachin Independence Army (KIA) broke down in 2011 and fighting escalated last month, when the Burmese army began launching airstrikes on rebel positions using helicopter gunships and jet fighters.
The battles have focused on the mountains around Laiza, a town of about 20,000 residents where another 15,000 displaced villagers are seeking refuge. Kachin rebels have their headquarters in Laiza, which is located on the Burma-China border.
On Dec. 30 and Jan. 17, Burmese artillery shells landed on Chinese soil, prompting an irritated response by China's foreign ministry, which asked for an "immediate ceasefire" on Jan. 18.
Although the shells caused no damage, Chinese security forces were sent to increase their patrols and surveillance along the border, according to local Chinese reports.
Qi Jianguo, the new Deputy Chief of Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, also met with Thein Sein in Rangoon as part of bilateral strategic security consultations between the two countries' armed forces.
Following the meeting, he addressed the conflict, telling Chinese state-run Xinhua news agency that he hoped the Burmese government would "adopt effective measures to achieve stability" in Kachin state. But he added that, "China will not interfere in the internal affairs of Myanmar."
One particular concern for Chinese authorities has been the potential influx of thousands of Kachin refugees, which could occur if the Burmese army captures Laiza town.
In early January, local Chinese authorities reportedly started preparing four refugee shelters in Nabang town, which is separated from Laiza only by a small river that demarcates the border.
A local medical official told China News Service on Sunday that authorities in Yunnan Province's Yinjiang County set aside 21 medical staff, five ambulances, tents, food and cooking oil to provide assistance for any potential Kachin refugees.
Such preparations are reminiscent of a situation in 2008, when the Burmese military attacked another ethnic group in Burma, the Kokang, and some 30,000 Kokang refugees from northern Shan State fled across the border into China.
Chinese economic interests are also put at risk by the Kachin fighting, as it has several large hydropower projects in the state, while a Chinese an important gas and oil pipeline runs from Burma's western coast to China, passing just south of the war zone.
The unrest along its southwestern border presents a challenge to China's foreign policy and Chinese authorities still seem to be in the process of formulating a coherent response. Some Chinese media have recently begun to address this issue.
"How our government should react is a question worth considering, this is also a new kind of test of what role China should play in the world," Chinese right-wing daily Global Times said in an article on Friday.
The newspaper said China should not become directly involved in the conflict, as it could strain the country's relations with Burma and put at risk Chinese investments. It warned against siding with the Kachin movement, which gets support from Chinese ethnic Kachin, who are called Jingpo in China and number about 132,000.
However, an opinion survey on the Global Times' website on Saturday indicated that 53 percent of its readers think that "China should become involved in the ethnic conflict in northern Burma". Another 63 percent said they believed that the conflict was affecting bilateral relations between Burma and China. The survey has since been removed from the site.
Zhang Huagang, a scholar at Yunnan University in Kunming, said in a reaction that China's options in dealing with the Kachin conflict were limited. "The visit by Fu Ying and the high-level talks will not be able to change the situation, the fact is that the Burmese army is besieging the KIA," he said.
Zhang Huagang said China also had to contend with other foreign powers in dealing with the conflict. "The question of security at the Sino-Burmese border areas is no longer solely an issue in Sino-Burmese relations. The West, led by the United States, now also has stakes in it," he added.
In other areas along Burma's long border with China meanwhile, ethnic groups are in a precarious ceasefire agreements with the Burmese government, which could be destabilized by the Kachin conflict.
The local administrations of Burma's Special Regions II, III, IV in Shan State, all bordering China, recently issued a statement, warning that the Burmese offensive against the Kachin could cause a return to more conflict in the border areas.
Among the ethnic Wa, who control Special Region II with their powerful United Wa State Army, concerns over the Kachin conflict are growing, as they fear that the Burmese army will come after their territory next.
These concerns have not gone unnoticed in China. "Once the Burmese control the Kachin, the next target will be the Wa," a local Wa source told Chinese Shenzhen TV on Sept. 9.
The Chinese are too entangled in all this. The KIA has been an obstacle in their control of Myitsone and other business ventures where two (the Burmese kleptocracy and themselves) is a company but three is a crowd. Splitting the profits three ways is not a very attractive idea. The Wa, unlike the weaker Kokang albeit Han Chinese themselves, can be a more effective pawn in the game. They say the Wa are good at dying during the seventies and eighties under the CPB fighting the military dictatorship.
Than shwe, ming aung laing and thein sein are playing the game with China and USA. Let see who is the loser and who is the winner. Whatever , whenever and however, all ethnics should be in the unity as it might be their last chance to fight for all ethnic rights and autonomy from bama military thugs. The next target from bama military thugs is Wa army. Let see who will confidently invest in Burma.
The Chinese are applying "pressure". The Chinese PLA general (vice-commander-in-chief) talked to Shwe Mann and Min Aung Hlaing.
See: http://www.globaltimes.cn/content/757143.shtml
The greedy Chinese want everything: Myitsone dam, copper from Letpadaung, jade from Phakant, the gas/oil pipeline, railway line from Kunming to Kyaukphyu right through the heart of Burma (so that the PLA can move in quickly!), Shwe gas, naval base at Kyaukphyu, real estate in Mandalay, Rangoon, Lashio, etc. etc. so they are pressuring the "Tatmadaw". I don't think China really cares about ethnic minority groups. Just look at what's happening to the Tibetans and the Uyghurs (Jingphaws are small fry compared to these bigger ethnic groups in China)
Let's look the communist China's way of installing peace in Tibet. Silencing the Tibetans is the Chinese way. It will not work in Burma because Kachins are not the only ethnics who ask for greater liberalization politically. So, this war can ignite the whole Union like wildfire in summer time. China always takes advantage of our poverty. This time, we need to open our eyes wide to see what China-Burma secret talk on the Kachin War. As Burmese junta keeps lying and cheating, all ethnics(UNFC members) need to be ready to join the war. Agreement signed with the junta may never bear fruits. I can say it. Pang Long Agreement was betrayed and how long we have been demanding to re-institute the Pang Long Treaty for six decades, do the Burmese juntas care? Thein Sein promised us with democracy but is he serious to bring democracy in the Union of Burma? No. If he were serious, why should he do this stupid war on the Kachins who just ask genuine democracy? Every movement or action the government is taking, we see no democratic change. It just try to satisfy with economic development. It just tries to copy from China and Vietnam. We did not start fighting for economy but democracy. Liberalizing just economy is no way near to meet our demand. Without dragging its feet, Burmese junta needs to push for democracy. So, political Talk and Dialogue is urgently needed to avoid larger war.
Properties, belongings and possession, if you wan it for
Private, you have to pay.
China is asking US to get involve now Eh? Is it officially cold war now? Is Burma is split up by 2 super power countries interests? Is Burma is new North and South Korea? It is very dangerous now. It looks like the situation is worse than I thought. Ethnic people must stand together for their common interest of Federal Union. If you guys do not stand together now, it will be the end of it. Everyone of Ethnic people are doom. After Kachin, I believe it will be Karanny or Karen. Wa and Kokang will be last if I am not wrong. Burmese military will not go head on with the strongest one first. It will break piece by piece of the ethnic people until every one of us bow under these brutal tyrants. Wake up Ethnic people, stand up for each other. Burmese people, stand up for injustice and fight for each other rights. If you love peace, it is your only chance, you can't let US and China play their game. It is time you all have to change your country and to create peace. Where tyranny is rule, you have to fight for peace.
Chinese officials visited Burma to discuss the Kachin conflict that is raging near its border. The situation concerns China, but it lacks a clear response because she is a covert part and parcel of the conflict: China you can't have your cake and eat it too! Get on the potty or get off the potty, but don't trot around looking constipated.
China has begun blocking its border against the Kachin refugees in Nabang. Even though they have camps prepared, China will refuse them if they don't have the proper papers which are impossible for them to attain. No one should be surprised by the carnage of innocent men, women and children if Laiza falls.
It is very sad, unfortunate and quite preposterous and rediculous that the expatriate Burmese community expects with misplaced high hopes that the WEST is truly interested in helping democracy, ethnic rights, human rights and development in general of the country. They are not. Their only interest is to just give "lip-service" to the all the above. Deal with whoever is in the seat of power and use that for their larger strategic goal of "stemming the growing Chinese economic and military power in all of Asia". The American and the Europeans are in no position to get involved in the internal affairs of Myanmar as they themselves are "deep in debt", especially the U.S. to China and the rest of Europe on the verge of Bankruptcy.
It is therefore in the critical interest of our ethnic communities of Myanmar to accept the reality that hoping and expecting help from the WEST is wishful thinking and start finding a way to resolve the conflict on your own with the government that has offered to do so.

Precisely. Big business is what they truly represent. The rest is window dressing. Everyone has an agenda of their own. The Burmese nation must strive to work out things among themselves, and not get caught up in superpower agendas. There is a need to find some common ground that all can start to build on. Trust is not the real issue since no one trusts anyone else completely. But in the end if the generals are not looking for a political settlement it's going to be an awful waste of time for the rest, and only an elaborate window dressing got up by the ruling elite to pursue their own sell serving agenda.

This covers: Event reservation fees, costs associated with no-shows, meetup fees, prizes, etc
Payment is accepted using:
Refunds are not offered for this Meetup.
**Please read all of the following before requesting to be a member**
We are a 'mingles' group, not a 'singles' group. We have many single members, but we also have attached members as well. I started this group as a way to meet new people & expand my social circle. We meet regularly and do a variety of different activities with the goal of making new friends. We'll also use the meetup time to discuss dating, tell stories (good & bad), give each other advice & help each other find what we're looking for in life. This is not designed to be a 'hook-up' group. It's designed to help people of any age meet new friends & mingle. The purpose of this group is to help people make a connection. Whether it be as friends, or more. This group is open to anyone looking to meet people but please keep in mind that some members are looking for a relationship & I encourage members to mingle. So if you are in a relationship, bring your partner as well.
We hold similar events as other groups, but we are definitely not like other groups;
All our attendee counts for past events are 100% accurate
We don't "share" or cross-promote other groups or events & vice versa
We are about quality of events, not quantity of events
We are about quality of members, not quantity of members
Inactive members are removed after 6 months (why join a group that you don't attend)
Even when there is a wait-list for events, we do our best to allow everyone to come out (a great reason why we don't cross-promote events between groups)
We don't tolerate 'party crashers' (people that show up without being on the rsvp list). It's not fair to rest of the members.
If you're shy about coming out, shoot me a message. I'm sure we can find a way to make it more comfortable for you.
I make a strong effort to go around and talk with my members at each meetup. We're not strangers...we're all friends here.
New members will be removed if they are a no-show to their first rsvp'd event
We don't have events every day or every other day...everyone should have a life outside of Meetup.
We only want happy people to join us. We don't like or condone negative attitudes or behavior.
Our members range in age from early 20's to early 60's. We don't discriminate based on age, but you do have to be young at heart. We are a fun group & typically do a lot of things that younger people enjoy doing. The majority of people that come out are between their early 30's to mid 40's. But with that being said, we have numerous members outside that age range that come out & still party like rock stars! We're all about meeting people & having fun!!
Organizing & planning events is a time-consuming job so we want our members to show up when they RSVP for an event. We have a 3-strike rule for no-shows. If you are a no-show 3 or more times, you may be asked to leave to the group. Also, please note the following; cancelling within 6 hours of any event with a wait-list will count as a no-show & cancelling within 1 hour of any event will also count as a no-show. This is simply because RSVP's take up space that can be used by a member that wants to come and we often have limited seating. We want you to come out & we hope you also want to come out.
We charge an annual membership fee of $5.00 per member to cover costs associated with the running & organizing of the group. These can be paid through Paypal, or at your first event. Please offer it to me as I don't like asking for it (but I will).
All new members must be approved by an organizer, simply because we have had some issues with fake profiles and inappropriate messages. I may ask for a cell number in order to contact you prior to being accepted. Please do not join if you are not willing to provide a cell number. Keep in mind I am messaging you with my personal number as well so there is definitely a level of trust on both sides. New members must have a picture of themselves prior to being accepted.
Do not join if your main goal is to promote events for other groups. We have our own events & I typically don't 'share' events. There are a few groups out there now that all share the same events and that is not the direction I wish to follow.
If you are unable to make an event, please do not RSVP 'no'. It changes your group stats and is viewed negatively.
I'm open to any suggestions, comments or questions from everyone. I hope we see you at a meet-up soon.

I Can't Control What I Eat. I've Failed Each Time I Tried.
Does this sound like you? Do you sometimes feel that you'll never get rid of your compulsive eating disorder or food addiction? One of the main reasons overeaters fail to change is that they simply believe they can't stop eating so much. It's that simple. If you want to eat normally, you have to build the belief that you can. If you fail to do so, the belief that you can't change will control you, and you'll keep on eating too much forever. I know it's probably the first time you are hearing this. Everybody else seems to be talking about eating mindfully or intuitively. This can help, but if you have a "limiting" belief like "I can't change" blocking your way, these techniques will be hard to apply consistently. Remove this block and everything becomes easy. In this article I will show you exactly how to shift your belief from "I can't control what I eat" to "I eat only what I want to eat" without the help of a professional like myself. Here are the steps:
- Start believing that people can stop overeating.
- Question the thought that you can't.
- Start building the belief that you can.
1. Believe That It Is Possible To End Compulsive Eating Permanently
If you have a long history of going back and forth from dieting to binge eating back to dieting and so forth, you have probably reached the conclusion that no matter what you do, you just can't change. You're still trying, but deep inside you just don't believe you can. Maybe you still have hope but not enough to really change. Maybe you believe you can't because something bad will happen. This is more like fear of change, and I've covered that in my article conquer your fear and stop eating so much food in four easy steps . This current article is more about the belief that in your unconscious you don't believe you can change your eating habits. An incredible amount of evidence has piled up throughout your life that you can't change, and the more you eat compulsively, the more you add to that pile. In that light, the possibility of making a permanent change in your eating habits may seem even more unlikely. However, the truth of the past doesn't matter. You always have the capacity for change within you (Tweet this). In other words, what is happening is that your ego believes your present is determined by your past. Fortunately, that is far from the truth.
2. Challenge the Thought That You Can't Stop Eating So Much
Now that you have some proof that other human beings just like you have been able to let go of their addictions and live peaceful, fulfilling lives, you'll want to transfer that belief to yourself. To do that, start questioning your thoughts. When you hear yourself think "I'll never make it. I'll never change," start asking questions: Is that true? How did I learn this? Are all these people I read about better than me? Who says so (my mother, my father, my four-year-old self…)? Then ask yourself, "Could I (they) be wrong?" and patiently take note of your thoughts.
3. Build the Belief That You Can Eat Normally
Now that you have created a strong belief that people can recover from any form of addiction and you have challenged the thought that this didn't apply to you, you should reinforce your faith in your ability to eat normally. I cannot cover all the ways you can do that here, but one way is to acknowledge your progress. It is so easy to forget how far you have traveled and only focus on the long road that lies ahead.

Reserves by name
Our star species are some of the most interesting birds you may see on your visit to the reserve.
The famous scrape hosts a large colony of avocets and these can be seen at close quarters from the hides overlooking this impressive man-made wetland from early spring to autumn.
Bearded tits can be seen flitting over the reeds as you walk along the North Wall, the path along the west side of the scrape and from Island Mere and Bittern Hides all year-round.
Minsmere holds a sizeable proportion of the UK population of bitterns. Visit in spring to hear them 'booming' or summer to watch the parents making feeding flights. Bittern Hide and Island Mere Hide offer a great chance of a sighting.
The extensive reedbeds play host to several breeding marsh harriers. The elevated Island Mere and Bittern Hides will reward you with excellent views. They can now be seen here throughout the year.
Nightingales can be heard singing in the deciduous woodland in spring. Their performance is best early in the morning or in the evenings - but they do of course sing through the night!

Why is it that when you most need to freshen up, you don't have a sink or washcloth handy? These one-time wipes are made for cleansing on the go. They don't just provide a little soothing relief—they also exfoliate, cleanse, tone, and hydrate when your usual routine is miles away.
I bought these for my husband since he always complains his bald head gets oily but is against 'products'. I figured a wipe is easy enough for him to use so I got them for his birthday. He loves the smell and his skin feels great with significantly less oil throughout the day. He actually asks me about other products all the time now5
I use these little blessings every day, everyone i work with knows how busy i get during the day, I sometimes get sweaty from rushing so much, and just one wipe feels like i washed my face with the Ursa Major regimen.
Next time you think about splashing nasty bathroom sink water from a public restroom on your face just carry these bad boys with you.

Skip to comments.(High-tech) Drive-In Theater Coming to Fort Worth
Posted on 02/22/2012 10:15:58 AM PST by BuckeyeTexan
Get ready for some retro entertainment because the drive-in theater is returning to Cowtown.
The Tarrant Regional Water District gave Coyote Theaters the go ahead Tuesday to develop a drive-in theater along the Trinity River just south of La Grave Field.
"We are producing the first urban drive-in right now in the U.S.," said J.D. Granger Trinity River Development Director.
Itll have digital projectors and ways to listen through your car or smart phones. The tech will allow it to be the first drive-in in the country to offer first run movies simultaneously in both English and Spanish.
There will also be more than one way to watch movies on the four screens.
"Were going to have cabanas where you can watch from cabanas instead of your car. Theres ways to watch if you were going to ride your bike or in Fort Worths case ride your horse," said Coyote Theaters CEO Brady Wood.
(Excerpt) Read more at nbcdfw.com ...
Yeah, but listening to a movie through your phone?
Other ways besides smart phones.
Then I got into "necking age"....It was a hard choice...movie?? neck?? movie?? neck??
Damn, I really liked movies...
Still have the drive-in speaker, from Route 4 Paramus NJ, when I forgot to remove it from my window. Distracted by my hot date.
...no more "and don't forget the speaker"!
I remember going to drive-ins. ;)
I LOVE Drive-Ins!
>The tech will allow it to be the first drive-in in the country to offer first run movies simultaneously in both English and Spanish.
If you're living in America and don't do English, then you should be working on either learning our language
or leaving...not going to a bi-lingual drive-in movie.
First drive-in movie I ever saw? Blue Lagoon. :)
I think this a great idea. I HATE sitting in movie theaters next to people who refuse to shut up or are coughing/sneezing on me. Now I can sit in the car with my family in our own little cocoon and not worry about that stuff.
Too funny.
Think back ... what was the first drive-in movie you ever saw?
I asked her if she could recall the name of ANY of the movies we attended.
LOL! She couldn't either.
Me gusta!
I'm learning Spanish. If I ever become fluent, I'll go see a movie in Spanish just because I freakin' can!
Expand your horizons, FRiend. This is a good thing.
I have no idea why there are not more drive-ins today. I never understood why they died out.
My first "necking one" was Butterfield Eight. Then Physcho....because I remember covering my head with the pillow.
With my mom and dad?? Hmmmm...Say 1954...
You were a very naughty, very lucky man. :) Do you remember the 1st drive-in movie you ever saw?
(I can't believe you're on speaking terms with the ex. Good for you.)
Couldn't be sure but one of the first I remember watching the whole way through was Cat Ballou.
I don't remember the first movie I saw at a drive in. I'm pretty sure it was a Disney. Dad took us to the drive in about twice a year, back before I was a teen-ager.
We'd also go to the A&W for a float. The great old days.
What was the 1st one you ever saw?
I'm going to tell a story my dad would rather I not. ;p
(He and I are only 19 years apart.) Anyway, he took his girlfriend to see Blue Lagoon and I was dragged along because it was his weekend. Dang guy put me on the hood of the car with a blanket and pillows and told me to face foward at all times and knock three times if I had to pee.
Cars got to small to make out in? With my old '56 Olds, I went to them all the time --- never once watched a movie. ;~))
I'll probably regret asking this but ... did you ever attend a drive-in movie and do you remember the first one you ever saw?
Sound quality maybe? They also deteriorated to the point that you couldn't see a first-run movie at a drive-in. That could have contributed to their demise. I'm looking forward to this theater's opening on Memorial Day. I'm there.
Yes, I miss the outdoor drive-in. Wonder if the prices will be better then indoor rip-offs.
My hometown still has the original kind of drive-in.
I can't recall the first one I saw, my mother started taking me from a wee one. I loved the smell of those mosquito rings. And we would bring a big paper sack of popcorn.
I recall the last one I saw (80's), before the drive-in closed down off I-45 (Houston area). It was Friday the 13th. Oh lawdy was that scary!
I was thrilled when we lived in S.C., they had a Drive-In and I was able to load up with my neighbor and we would take the kids. First one kiddo saw was The Lion King.
That's pretty sneaky/smart of your dad! hahahaha! Pull off a date and his weekend parenting. Funny stuff! :p
I remember when the sports director at the Y day camp, where I was a counselor, got the keys for the van. The guy counselors packed into the van with a couple of cases of beer, and headed for the drive-in.
You can guess the test. They must have loved us.
Are they still working the mines, too?? And I suppose you're having bear for dinner. :-)
"Around the World in 80 Days" with David Niven
Do they play first-run movies? Just curious.
Don't forget the 1960 Rambler station wagons-the seat folded down so one had 6 feet or so of flat surface.
First movie I saw was some James Bond movie where he's trapped in a swimming pool with a shark. I was blown away, because I was 5.
My parents fell asleep. When they woke up, they said my nose was glued to the windshield.
I remember thinking, "I hope that never happens to me!"
You have the very good stereo sound
The I Phone audio jack plugs into an FM transmitter that sends the signal to the vehicle FM radio that plays the stereo signal.
The transmitter device is powered by the 12 volt onboard system (cigarette lighter) and is very small.
My son handed me down his old one and I use it to listen to audio books as I travel the Interstates for my job
Ah, thanks.
I was thinking the crappy cell phone speaker...

I don't remember the very first, but a very early one was TOY TIGER starring Jeff Chandler.
Thunderball with Sean Connery? Apparently some of his reactions were real as the sharks got too close for comfort.
Who cared what they were playing. I parked my van in the back row...and it was a rock'n!
My grandparents (who raised me) were not happy. I was only ten and Blue Lagoon was rather inappropriate. They had all sorts of questions to answer. :)
-——Thunderball with Sean Connery?-——
I don't know, but I'll have to watch it on Netflix, and compare it to my 5-year-old memory. Thanks!
>>>Yeah, but listening to a movie through your phone?
If one uses decent headphones, one can have quite an enjoyable listening experience to audio from a cell phone.
Yep! They also have indoor seating for the Drive-in movie and a cinema (with another flic) and a putt-putt golf course.
Why not? Most kids these days have the phone to their ears at least 6 hours per day.
No...not seriously...
Sweet. I'll have to check that one out. I remember playgrounds and *I think* an arcade at the drive-in but not miniature golf.
Good... cause we didn't have mines or bears ;>)
Have you been to the one in Gatesville?
Nope, but I might have to get down there.

Gin News [January 31st, 2014]
What a week for launches, with a couple unexpected names gracing our list:
What's New?
Gordon's Spot of Elderflower gin is a surprising new release, and should be an ideal companion to their line of pre-mixed Gordon's dash of elderflower gin and tonics. Remember in a G&T, it's a "dash"; in a bottle it's a "spot." [Gin marketing science!]
Vikre Distillery from Duluth Minnesota sought to capture the feeling of the boreal north with their lineup of (three!) gins, including Cedar and Spruce.
Wine and Gin have been getting together more often. Folks in the UK now have access to one of their very own, Ferdinand's Saar Dry Gin is now available in the UK. The Riesling in this batch has been added post-distillation.
Brockman's isn't necessarily new, but it will launch in the U.S. for the first time this month.
Michael Godard is probably best known as an artist, but he now has his own eopnymous gin on the market as well. The gin is distilled in Holland and imported by Pay Dirt Brands stateside.
International Wine Services has launched Squires Gin on trade in the UK.

Originally serialised in Harper's Magazine in 1892, Constance Fenimore Woolson's last novel Horace Chase came out in book form in 1894, the year of her death. The character of the title is a self-made millionaire in his mid-forties who marries Ruth Franklin, almost twenty years his junior. Their union, very reluctantly accepted by Ruth's widowed mother and her older siblings, Dolly and Jared, revolutionises the until then financially precarious life of the Franklin family. In the years that follow, the businessman's unfailing generosity, his solid reliability and boundless devotion to his wife, gradually win the Franklins' gratitude and respect, but never their affection. Seemingly unbeatable in the world of finance and …

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of coal miner Arch Coal (NYSE: ACI ) jumped 10% today, after reporting earnings.
So what: Revenue fell 9% in the third quarter, to $1.09 million, but was ahead of estimates of $1.01. The company also reported a surprise profit of $45.8 million, or $0.22 per share, when analysts expected a $0.16 loss.
Now what: This could be a sign that coal stocks are starting to bottom because of fundamental improvement. Prices are starting to stabilize, and even rise slightly, and demand is expected to improve. I don't think this is a reason to buy coal stocks due to long-term challenges in the industry, but I'm not as negative on the industry as I was earlier this year given how far they've fallen.

Subject: Track Segue
Hi, I'm looking at buying an Ipod but I have a defining question: I love to listen to Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon and it is essential to listen to this seamlessly. Basically my question is do I have the option to have one track immediately go into the next, as if i was listening to one complete track rather than separate ones, or is there going to be a brief period of silence between each track? Thank you in advance for any response.

I believe there's a way, but I've yet to find it. But yeah, it's a bit annoying on Live albums.
Author: FortePenance
Date: Apr 25, 06 at 10:41am (PST)
Subject: re: Track Segue
So many of the audio players I've listened to don't have this feature. An exception is the Rio Karma. That have no silence between it. You could try that instead of the iPod. I just prefer the iPod over the Karma since the Karma supposedly has a hard drive which is very easily damaged.

All of the MP3 players that I have owned always have that gap between tracks which I find very annoying.
As for Rio I used to have a 32MB flash player about three or four years ago. It crapped out about a year after I bought it. I haven't bought any other Rio product since.

Planning is in motion to launch the NEW YORK DOWNTOWN JAZZ FESTIVAL in September 2013. The event is being envisioned as a 4-day, multiple-stage, free music festival featuring over 20 bands, curated to entertain, educate and unite the masses through the power of sonic harmony. The NYDJF will take place at lower Manhattan's North Cove, behind the World Financial Center, overlooking the Hudson River.
On April 19-21, the New York Downtown Jazz Festival will curate the live music pre-show for the Tribeca Drive-In, the Tribeca Film Festival's signature outdoor screening series. Organizers hope to provide music lovers with a sneak peek of the diverse musical programming, while introducing the future event to potential sponsors.
FREE JAZZ + FREE MOVIES. April 19: check out the amazing afrobeat-jazz rockers NOMO, followed by classic thriller JAWS. April 20: see jazz legend and innovator RAVI COLTRANE, followed by 80s classic, THE GOONIES. April 21: TBD. Music begins at 7pm, movies begin at approx 8:15pm. ALL FREE.
Organizers are looking to KICKSTARTER to help finance the preview event. Expenses include talent fees, band gear, transportation, onsite branding and promotional items. The Tribeca preview event is a first step towards establishing the New York Downtown Jazz Festival as new cultural landmark in lower Manhattan. Show your support by pledging online. LIVE MUSIC = LOVE
