[0001]This application claims priority to EP 09158009.2, filed Apr. 16,
2009. All patents, patent applications, and other publications cited in
this application are incorporated by reference in the entirety for all
[0002]The present invention refers to a multilayer heat shrinkable film characterized by a combination of desirable properties, such as high shrinkage, good optical properties, excellent sealability, high abuse and high puncture resistance. The invention further is directed to a method of producing said film. The invention is further directed to the use of said film or bags and pouches made thereof for packaging goods as for example food products. The invention also refers to tubes made with the film.
[0003]Generally, the packaging of food items by means of a heat shrinkable bag comprises the following steps [0004]1. Putting the food item inside the bag and removing the air (vacuumising) with the help of a vacuum device. [0005]2. Sealing of the open end of the bag. [0006]3. Placing the vacuum pack in a heat shrinking media such as hot water under a temperature that ensures the shrink of the pack (e.g. 90° C.). [0007]4. The pack is ready and is characterized by appealing appearance and long shelf life because of the absence of oxygen.
[0008]These films need high shrink properties and good optics to ensure an excellent appearance and excellent sealability so that there is no entrance of oxygen to the pack as this would be detrimental for the shelf life of the food.
[0009]In some cases, where the food is stored in frozen conditions for example, there is the possibility to use a non gas barrier film. The other characteristics remain the same.
[0010]Packaging films with the above properties are well known in the art.
[0011]A problem that is often found in the art is that during the packaging process the items to be packed are extremely tough or hard (e.g. bone-in meat pieces). This results in breakages of the plastic film during the packaging process. Packaging materials with high abuse and puncture resistance are desirable in order to withstand the packing of hard products with less scrap.
[0012]This problem has been addressed in the past.
[0013]U.S. Pat. No. 6,183,791 proposes the use of heat shrinkable film bonded to a heat shrinkable patch which adds strength to the film. This solution is effective but very expensive.
[0014]Patent EP 0692374 proposes the use of copolyamides with melting points less than 160 C for blending with polyamide 6/66. These copolyamides are exceptionally expensive and they lack oxygen barrier.
[0015]Therefore, the problem underlying the invention is to provide a heat sealable film, which has also good shrinkability, high abuse and puncture resistance and is easy to orient.
[0016]These problems are solved by the subject-matter of the independent claims. Preferred embodiments are set forth in the dependent claims.
[0017]The inventors have managed to overcome all of these problems by discovering a film combining [0018]1. Excellent abuse and puncture resistance. [0019]2. Excellent sealing properties over a big range of machine conditions. [0020]3. Excellent optical properties [0021]4. Manufacturing in a stable and controlled way.
[0022]This is achieved by a heat shrinkable film comprising at least one layer comprising a blend of a first copolyamide and copolyamide 6/66/12.
[0023]In this application the following definitions are used:
[0024]The term "film" refers to a flat or tubular flexible structure of thermoplastic material.

[0058]Another preferred material for the outer layer is styrene based copolymer, such as styrene butadiene copolymer.
[0059]Between the outer and the barrier layer there may be another layer incorporating a tie layer. Preferred materials for this tie layer may be ethylene ester copolymers, such as ethylene vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene methyl acrylate copolymers and other materials well known in the art. A preferred version might include maleic anhydrite modified ethylene ester copolymers or maleic anhydrite modified LLDPE. Commercial trademarks are for example BYNEL® from Dupont and ADMER® from Mitsui.
[0060]Any of the layers described above may also include additives well known in the art such as slip agents, antiblock, polymer processing aids, antistatic, antifog, acid scavengers, odor scavengers and the like. A person skilled in the art may select the right additives according to any particular needs.
[0061]In one preferred embodiment, the multilayer film is irradiated. The irradiation may be a beam, gamma radiation, UV radiation or other.
[0062]According to a further aspect, the present invention discloses a bag or pouch comprising a film according to the present invention.
[0063]In a further aspect, the invention is directed to the use of the films or the bag or pouch of the invention for packaging food. For example, the food item is putted inside the bag and the air is removed (vacuumising) with the help of a vacuum device. Subsequently, the open end of the bag is sealed and the vacuum pack is placed in a heat shrinking media such as hot water under a temperature that ensures the shrink of the pack (e.g. 90° C.). The pack than is ready and is characterized by appealing appearance and long shelf life because of the absence of oxygen.
[0064]The present invention is now described by the following Examples:
Example 1
[0065]A 5 layer film is produced in a double bubble (the double bubble method is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,456,044) commercial line with the following recipe:
TABLE-US-00001 Inner (sealing layer) 100% E1 Adjacent layer 100% M1 Barrier layer 70% PA1 + 30% PA2 Adjacent layer 100% M1 Outer layer 100% E2
[0066]See table 1
[0067]The thickness of the structure is 35/8/40/8/9 starting from the inner and going to the outer layer.
[0068]The processability of the film was unexpectedly good. There was stable orientation and the line speed could be increased much more than if instead of the blend a pure copolyamide 6/66 was used.
[0069]As comparison, tests were done with commercial product with thickness 100 microns. The product is marketed as high abuse, meaning it targets the same potential market as the film of the invention.
Example 2
[0070]A 5 layer film is produced in a double bubble commercial line with the following recipe
TABLE-US-00002 Inner (sealing layer), 100% E1 Adjacent layer 100% M1 Barrier layer 70% PA1 + 28% PA2 + 2% nano modified polyamide 6 Adjacent layer 100% M1 Outer layer 100% E2

Former Gannon football players cleared in assault
Two former Gannon University football players have been cleared of all charges they assaulted a Gannon University wrestler at a party in April 2012.
Wesley Smith, 23, of Albany, N.Y., and John Chisolm, 25, of Erie, were cleared of charges of simple assault, criminal conspiracy and harassment following a trial in Judge John Garhart's courtroom.
Garhart dismissed the harassment charge and granted an acquittal on the charge of criminal conspiracy before the jury began its deliberations.
A jury then acquitted the men of the charge of simple assault after deliberating less than an hour, Chisolm's lawyer, Erie County Assistant Public Defender Nicole Sloane said. She credited the verdict to inconsistent testimony by prosecution witnesses.
The two had been accused of assaulting Jermaine Easter, then 20, on April 29 during a dance and going-away party at 518 Chestnut St.
Erie lawyer Tony Logue represented Smith.
"Attorney Logue and I both agreed our clients were very nice young men who have promising futures. This has been going on for one year and two months. I hope they are able to move on with their lives now that this is over," Sloane said.
Police said Easter's 17-year-old brother was asked to leave the party after he bumped Chisolm's disc jockey table. Easter was then asked to leave when he said he would escort his brother from the party, police said.
Easter testified in a preliminary hearing that Smith hit him as he was trying to leave and that Chisolm later hit him while trying to leave on the street. The original criminal complaint filed in May alleged that Chisolm struck Easter first and Smith hit Easter second.
Easter, who is a Cathedral Preparatory graduate, suffered a broken jaw, a lacerated lip and head and neck injuries. His jaw required surgery.
At the time the charges were filed in May 2012, the Gannon's registrar's office said neither Smith nor Chisolm were currently enrolled. Smith, a 6-foot 3-inch, 245-pound redshirt senior defensive end, played during the 2011 season. Chisolm, a 5-foot 11-inch, 190-pound defensive back, last played for Gannon in 2010.
Easter continued to wrestle for Gannon in 2013.

The Top Gear car review:Rolls-Royce Wraith
For:Incredible road presence, sumptuous interior, unique driving experience
Against:Attracts both sorts of attention - good and bad
Find new & used cars
Our choice
2dr Auto
Specs we've tested
Our latest road tests of this car...
A caddish, rakish take on what it means to be a modern Rolls Royce. Not without its foibles, but sublime all the same…
What we say:
Incredible new fastback coupe from Rolls-Royce. The Wraith is distinctive, unique, and quite wonderful
What is it?
The most powerful and dynamic Rolls-Royce ever produced, according to the taglines. And the hardware sounds promising: a 6.6-litre, twin-turbo V12 that belts out 624bhp and 590lb ft of torque. That gives this enormous fastback serious pace: 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds and a limited 155mph. That's pretty darn rapid for a 2,365kg leather and walnut living room on wheels. The other big news is obviously the two door shape. Yep, Rolls makes the Phantom Coupe, but that's more of a tidier Phantom saloon – the Wraith is a full-on fastback, meaning super-raked C-pillar and a booted rear end that looks like it might contain an enormous hatchback. It's awesome to see on the road, though slightly polarizing for onlookers.
Interesting one this, because although Rolls-Royce has determined that this is it's quickest and most powerful car ever, when you first get into it, it feels a bit like a Ghost – wafty, silent, easy.
But once you get going, the Wraith really is different. It never really shrinks-to-fit, because it's always just massive, but it certainly motivates itself with the kind of speed that makes continents small. The BMW-derived V12 isn't exactly vocal, but it still whooshes in all the right places, aided by a satellite-aided 8-speed ZF auto 'box that means it never changes up (or down) at an inopportune moment. The steering is accurate but slightly aloof, the rear-wheel drive chassis nicely balanced on air-suspension, but never going to worry a razorblade for sharpness. It might not even worry a spork. But the Wraith transcends normal considerations such as ride and handling – it's a majestic, wondrous thing to drive, and utterly unique.
On the inside
One of the Wraith's strangest points: book-matched, gorgeous wood, leather softer than butter, and all the good technology nicked from top-end BMWs. That tech is well disguised as well, hidden beneath a classy veneer of Rolls- Royce fonts and glassware, plastics and lacquer. If it had a toilet, you'd want to live in it.
Roughly 85 per cent of Wraiths will head through RR's bespoke department, so if you're ordering one, you probably aren't all that bothered about the next bloke and your residuals. But the first year is sold out, so you can still expect the Wraith to be a pretty solid bet. Unless it's been ordered in yellow with a green interior, that is.
It'll also be horrific to insure and run – although we did get 22mpg on a cruise. Hardly the stuff that's going to save the planet but, for a car of this stature, pretty impressive.

One More Topping for Strawberries
shortcake and Eton Mess—where fresh strawberries are allowed to be themselves, sliced and added with minor intervention. Read on for another topping (in case you're tired of shortcake). It's not whipped cream... It's a simple but slightly punched up custard, an almond-flavored créme anglaise. The recipe reminded us of making one of our favorite ice cream bases that is steeped with almonds; you infuse the custard with toasted almond flavor, then strain out the bits and pour the smooth cream over fresh strawberries. Doesn't that sound good? Definitely better than Cool Whip. • Get the recipe: Fresh Strawberries with Almond Créme Anglaise, from The New York Times Related: Recipe: Strawberry Ice Cream with Cacao Nibs (Image: Flickr member riza, licensed for use under Creative Commons)

EOF - SOLIS, a Brazilian Free Software Cooperative
Univates, a university center in the south of Brazil, has been a free software user since 1997 and has adopted free software as a standard for administrative people since 1999. As there was no academic administration system available as free software, Univates developed its own, SAGU. SAGU now is used by a dozen other universities in Brazil, with some of them contributing code. By adopting free software and developing SAGU, Univates has saved almost $200,000 US in software licenses. It further saves $70,000 US every year as it doesn't need to buy new licenses or upgrades when installing new computers or increasing the user base. The number of students in Univates has grown from a little less than 2,000 in 1999 to more than 7,500 in 2003. The savings always have been more than enough to cover the payroll of the whole IT department, now employing 26 people.
If you search Google with the keywords Free Software Brazil, you surely will find Univates' projects among the first search results. These projects include a library automation and integrated circulation system, GNUTECA, which is compliant with international library standards. It has been promoted in South America through workshops held by Unesco's office in Montevideo. There also is a PHP-based, object-oriented development framework, MIOLO, that was used to develop GNUTECA and is the base of several other projects. You also should look at Agata Report, a full-featured professional database reporting tool; see www.univates.br/freesoftware.
Univates is a community-owned university. Its only financial support comes from students' payments and some services it provides to the region's industries. It serves a region made up of 40 cities where 300,000 people live. As it is owned by the community, Univates also is audited by this community, which participates in the election of the rector and in several committees that help decide the university's actions. Univates is committed to regional development and has promoted several programs through which it helps local industry.
Univates has watched its IT department become self-sustainable and even generate resources for the university by selling services such as software customization and technology transfer seminars. However, as Univates never wanted to be a software house, it proposed to its IT team that it become a separate entity. As its own entity, it can be hired by Univates and by others, expanding its business and creating job positions to be filled by the university's graduates and students. Both this new entity and Univates would work on a business plan that would link regional development and free software.
The International Co-operative Association (www.ica.coop) says that:
Co-ops are based on helping each other and caring for others. A cooperative is a type of business or organization. It is a group of people who are working together to solve their own problems and meet their needs. Co-ops are different from other types of organizations since they abide by three main rules: 1) co-ops treat people fairly and respectfully; 2) co-ops encourage people to work together toward solving their mutual problems; and 3) co-ops provide products and services to meet people's needs rather than solely for the purpose of making money.
By this definition, it is quite easy to see that a co-operative organization and the free software philosophy have a lot in common. Both are concerned with treating people with respect and working toward common objectives. The new organization that was born from Univates' IT department is a cooperative called SOLIS (www.solis.coop.br), officially inaugurated on May 12, 2003.
SOLIS works toward regional development by finding ways of empowering local businesses through the use of free software. By doing this, people at SOLIS hope these businesses can become more competitive, profitable and able to grow and hire more people.
Right now SOLIS is working with industrial and commercial associations, helping the companies associated with them fine-tune their needs in order to save money by sharing among them the costs of software development, customization and training. Univates and SOLIS wish to prove in a practical way that free software can help regional development and is good business that—most importantly—respects people's free access to knowledge. We hope other universities can set up similar arrangements in their own regions.
Cesar Brod (firstname.lastname@example.com) first became involved with the GNU/Linux operating system in 1993. He now is the IT manager and coordinates software development for Univates. Cesar also is the Vice President of SOLIS and the coordinator of the international section of the Latin America Free Software Conference (www.softwarelivre.pti.org.br), which will be in November 2004, in the beautiful setting of the Iguassa Falls, among Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Blixt Off to Hot Start in Greenbrier Classic
Jonas Blixt began the defense of his title in the Greenbrier Classic in fine fashion. The 30-year-old Swede opened with a 6-under 64 for a one-stroke lead in the $6.5 million PGA Tour event, which got underway Thursday on the White Course at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.
Beginning on the 10th hole, Blixt carded six birdies and a bogey on his front nine before tacking on two more birdies and a bogey on his home half. Four of those birdies came on Nos. 14-18, his fifth through ninth holes.
Blixt said he started the first round with a straightforward game plan. "I talked to my caddie about it on the first tee," the two-time Tour winner told reporters. "There was no wind, so I just said to him, 'I'm going to be really aggressive today.' He was like, 'Yeah, I like that.' Just go out there and make as many birdies as possible."
One stroke behind are several other players who also took advantage of the benign conditions. The All-American lineup recording 65s were James Hahn, Jason Bohn, Joe Durant, Chris Kirk, D.A. Points, Patrick Rodgers and Jim Renner. Durant is a rookie on the Champions Tour.
Tied for ninth following 66s are South Korean Sang-Moon Bae, New Zealander Danny Lee, and Americans Michael Thompson, Steve Stricker, Kevin Na, Troy Merritt, Chris Stroud, Pat Perez and Chad Collins.
The 47-year-old Stricker has been playing a limited schedule the past few years, but the Wisconsin native - still ranked 18th in the world despite making only his eighth start of the year this week - maximizes the time in competitions.
Also starting play on the 10th tee, Stricker carded four birdies - all on his front nine. The 12-time Tour winner says the secret to his success while playing a shortened schedule is "knowing that your shots really do count.
"You spend a lot of time at home practicing and the shots don't really matter. You can hit one off-line and it doesn't mean anything. And when you come out here, every shot means something. You've got to try and erase that out of your mind and do what you do at home and do what you do when you're practicing."
Stricker has made the cut in each of his previous seven tournaments, with his top finish a T-6 in last month's Memorial Tournament. "I have gotten used to (a limited schedule) over the years," he said. "I haven't played much and I am kind of used to that fact. So I am excited about the start this week."
Three behind Blixt are fellow Swede David Lingmerth, South African Tyrone Van Aswegen, Australian Robert Allenby and Yanks Michael Putnam, Davis Love III, Ben Curtis, Charles Howell III, Patrick Reed, Charlie Beljan, Kevin Chappell, Luke Guthrie and Keegan Bradley.
Two-time Masters' winner, Bubba Watson, who recently built a new house at the Greenbrier, was among a big group of players opening with a 2-under 68.

03 May Go Ride Your Bike
No time for words as I need to sleep, lots of work and bike riding going on these days. How about you?
No time for words as I need to sleep, lots of work and bike riding going on these days. How about you?
Hey BikeShopGirl,
Is that Spearfish2 your regular ride? How do you like it? I'm thinking about getting one but trying to decide between that and a Rocky Mountain Element 930.
If you have a minute I'd really like to hear what you think about the Spearfish specifically and Salsa bikes in general. It's really hard to get a decent (unbiased) opinion out there when shop folks are trying to sell you what they have on their floor.
Hey Earl!
A short disclaimer – I sell Salsa Cycles.
In truth I have ridden Salsa for several years, long before I sold them and I was simply a bike shop employee that saved long and hard for her bikes.
I currently ride a Spearfish because for what I do, local mountain bike rides, 8 hour rides in Pisgah national forest, 24 hour solo mountain bike rides, and even riding on the road, it is PERFECT. 100mm in the front, 80mm in the rear.
The other part of Salsa I've been drawn to in the past 4 years is the culture around the brand. I live their mantra, their customer service and even their marketing.
Where and how do you ride?

Why Choose Marble for Your New Kitchen Countertop
If you're thinking about redesigning your kitchen in 2015, there's no doubt you've been looking at the various stone materials that you can implement onto your kitchen countertops. Whether you've been looking at granite, soapstone, quartz, or marble, you've probably read pros and cons on each material. Maybe you've even consulted with a professional on the matter.
Here, I'll tell you some reasons why you might want to choose marble for your new kitchen countertop. Aside from its overall attractiveness, which is reason No. 1 why marble is chosen to add appeal to the kitchen, there are many reasons why you should take advantage of marble countertops for your Wilmington, DE home.
Color Options: Marble is a natural stone, and miners find marble in all areas of the world. The color and shade of the stone is relevant to where it has been mined. Marble is made of calcium carbonate, which typically leads to light or cream colored fabrication, but could be a darker colored onyx. Because of its variety, you'll be hard-pressed to find another home with the exact color of marble that you have in your kitchen.
Designs: No matter the color—a beautiful creamy Crema Marfil or a dark, rich, brown marble called Dark Emperador or a classic Italian Carrara marble with beautiful veins—the softness of marble, mixed with its workability provides an endless opportunity for designs. The material cuts easier, and professionals can fabricate the stone to manufacture fancy edges and styles to the surface.

[MEXICO]U.S. product Edgar Castillo scored for defending champ Santos in its second-leg semifinal clash with Toluca but Santos fell 2-1, which combined with the first leg's scoreless tie sends Toluca to the Apertura 2008 final against Cruz Azul.
Castillo, 22, struck in the 26th minute after combining passes with Daniel Luduena. The goal ended Toluca goalkeeper Hernan Cristante's 772-minute shutout streak. But Toluca responded a minute later with a goal by Edgar Duenas. Toluca, which needed only a tie on aggregate to advance thanks to its superior regular-season record, made it 2-1 shortly before halftime on a goal by Chilean forward Hector Mancilla that was set up by Antonio Naelson.
Cruz Azul tied Atlante, 1-1, on Saturday in their second-leg semi to advance 4-2 on aggregate. Cruz Azul's Cesar Villaluz opened the scoring in the fourth minute and Venezuelan Giancarlo Maldonado scored the game's only other goal three minutes later.
Cruz Azul, which finished runner-up to Santos last season, won its last title in 1997. Toluca last won the title when it lifted the 2005 Apertura crown.
Castillo played in all 17 regular-season and all four playoff games for Santos in the Apertura 2008.

House Votes to Strip EPA of Regulatory Powers In Water Pollution Cases
–Chad Love
The US House of Representatives has voted to strip much of the EPA's regulatory powers over state water pollution cases. The bill, ironically dubbed the "Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act of 2011" passed the House on a largely party-line vote 239-184 and has virtually no chance of passing the Senate. That didn't, however, stop environmental and conservation groups from pointing out that the bill – which would essentially gut one of the most successful federal environmental laws ever passed – might not be such a good idea.
From this press release from Trout Unlimited:
The U.S. House of Representatives voted yesterday to approve sweeping, harmful changes to the nation's bedrock water-quality protecting law, the Clean Water Act. In a 239-184 vote, the House passed H.R. 2018, a bill that will adversely affect waterways across the nation. H.R. 2018, dubbed the The Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act of 2011, purports to strengthen "cooperative federalism" by giving the states more control over the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Clean Water Act oversight. In fact, the bill undermines the federal-state partnership on which the Clean Water Act is based. Introduced less than four weeks ago, the House of Representatives held no legislative hearings on the bill and rushed to approve it, apparently to avoid giving it the scrutiny it deserves.

There's a New TX Record Catch-and-Release Alligator Gar
–Chad Love
Alligator gar, once thought of as trash fish good only for killing and leaving to rot, are quickly gaining status as a worthy catch-and-release gamefish. Yet another Texas state record (catch-and-release) gar has been caught, and this one is now swimming free…
From this story on GoFishn.com
Joseph Williams thought he had the Texas record for a caught and released alligator gar in April, but the 200-pound gar died on him. This time, the 88-incher caught in the Trinity River was successfully measured, photographed and released, and is now the catch-and-release record for the Lone Star State. According to KYTX, Williams, from Cleveland, Texas, is passionate about preserving this trophy fish. Using circle hooks and a 14-foot boat that allows the gar to tow him around the river.

Fish Learn To Use Tools
–Chad Love
The next time you hook a big fish and then lose it, don't just assume the line broke. The fish may have whipped out his multi-tool and cut it. No, really…
From this story on Wired:
Professional diver Scott Gardner has captured what are believed to be the first images of a wild fish using a tool. The picture above, captured in Australia's Great Barrier Reef, shows a foot-long blackspot tuskfish smashing a clam on a rock until it cracks open, so the fish can gobble up the bivalve inside. Tool use was once thought to be exclusive to humans, and was considered a mark of our superior intelligent and bulging brains. In recent decades, though, more and more animals have shown an ability to work with tools and objects.

What happened to other companies with signed deals with Microsoft? -- 'No'rtel, 'No'vell, 'No'kia, and now Barnes and 'No'ble.
Does it make any difference whether it's Microsoft or Android for a simple E-Reader?
+Frank Milton It does make a huge difference. I won't buy anything from an abuser, which Microsoft is.
Microsoft will own 17% stake in the business. Barnes & Noble retains majority control and BN has more capital. I can't see that as a bad thing.
+Swapnil Bhartiya You shouldn't buy much in the tech realm then. Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google, the various hand-held and tablet manufacturers. They all act about the same when they can get leverage in the market, either through market share or patent portfolios, etc. If B&N could duplicate what Amazon is doing and achieve the same end effect, I suspect they would do so.

All I have to say is Splunge.
Lostutter is the alleged member of KnightSec, an infamous hacking group, and has already taken an active part in the hacking of Hunter Moore, the revenge-porn tycoon, and the Westboro Baptist Church hate group.
Whaddya think…hero or villain?
Lostutter is being tried under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which is known in the tech fraternity as an outdated, draconian law.
Meanwhile, the rapist football players are all walking free after serving a fraction of their sentences.
The hypocritical approaches of American criminal justice system have upset Lostutter a lot. He stated that "You get 16 years for forcibly entering your way into a computer, but you get 1 year for forcibly entering your way into a woman. I think that's the precedent the government is setting here."
I admit to some questions. What will this cost the tax-payer across 20 years, since these folks for the most part will not be able to be employed nor even perhaps speak English. What will caring for them across 20 years cost?
At what point does any country simply refuse entry into that country for tens of thousands of people? Millions? Not a "conservative question, or, if it is considered so, OK, but still a question. We as a country simply cannot be the unquestioned sanctuary for millions with no limits.
1. What if that cost is 10 million? Likely, no big deal.
2. What if it is 100 million?
3. Or 10 billion?
At some point the costs become an issue that needs to be explicated clearly. It may be that the eventual gains to us might be well worth it. It may also be that such long term costs, social disruption, security issues; etc., might give rise to the notion that there's a limit.
Trump, much as I dislike him, at least presents the idea that we're not a "bottomless pit" of "saving the world." We at least can reduce any influx more than Europe, "wall" or no wall. But this issue needs IMO to be explored and some transparency of costs would be a beginning. If I felt, given reliable data in a hugely complex issue, that such an influx of refugees would be more than we could handle, then, yes, I'd push for limits. We are not the world's saviour.]]>
Then comes the revelation that CBS News edited Charlie Rose's recent interview with Bill Clinton to make it look less damaging to Hillary's campaign: CBS Did Bill Clinton a Big Favor. When asked about Hillary's collapse the other day, Bill first replied that the same thing has happened "frequently." Then he corrected himself. When the interview first aired, it included Bill's gaffe. Subsequent airings did not include "frequently."
At issue is not whether Bill was mistaken or if he was lying again, or whether Hillary really does collapse "frequently." At issue is CBS's decision to edit out the gaffe. As Cent Uygur of The Young Turks makes clear in the above link, CBS has refused other people's requests to edit their gaffes, but they accommodated Bill's. Isn't this exactly the kind of thing that erodes confidence in the media? Was CBS wrong to have done it?]]>
Struggling to walk ... Knees buckle ... Stumbles off the curb .... Lost shoe
Even Washington Post now has to admit "Health now an issue".
This comes right after nearly 71% of 250 physicians responding to an informal internet survey by the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) expressing serious concerns about her health
and this Doctor Ted Noel summarizes his conclusions based on his observations what may be going on medically. Not a prognosis, rather conclusions based observations and available records.
and this Doctor known to millions on TV was fired from his TV job for raising questions about Hillary's health.
I've no answers here, but these stats are not due to racism of whites oppressing blacks, evil policing…..most of those killed were Black on Black, and/or gang related, drug trafficking or drive by shootings by teenagers spraying bullets. One suggestion: if you use a firearm in such a death or injury, in a non-defensive act, you get three times the sentence.
Many possible avenues to address this, none by themselves sufficient, but harsher sentences is one of them. Makes me reconsider my opposition to capital punishment. I have no, zero, tolerance or excuses for some 15 to 25 y/o, usually male and three time as likely to be Black, who sprays bullets at a crowd in a rage an/or burst of excitement. Stand those who have done so in a large field, facing a crowd of people, armed, who've been shot at. That might discourage others.]]>
Helps the flood victims
Trump Plays the Role of President in Louisiana
As newspapers criticizes a golfing Obama while flood-ravaged Louisiana struggles.
Video evidence and further investigation by the police showed "one or more of the U.S. Olympic swimmers vandalized a bathroom at a gas station after the four left a party early Sunday, according to Rio's Civil Police Chief Fernando Veloso. The athletes broke mirrors and damaged other things in the bathroom, police said. The athletes initially refused to stay at the gas station, but security asked the taxi not to leave. Another person stepped in to translate between the athletes and the guards, and the athletes left money, police said. "
So these World Class swimmers but also World Class MORONS get on TV and claim robbery at gun point making international news expecting the Brazil Police to simply stand by and do nothing about their lies.
I wonder where they get the idea that lying at this level is ok? Perhaps from the same people where they learned in the 1990s that blow job isn't sex.]]>
I lived and worked in Milwaukee for 17 years, so I'm biased. From what I can tell, the 23 y/o man killed was carrying a 23-round hand-gun, which makes this a small machine gun, and was pulling this weapon out when shot. By a Black officer. Good shoot. Justified. More will come out and any final judgement awaits all the evidence.
I was there in the late 60s during the riots, in Milwaukee, and drove by National Guard gun emplasements in the inner city as the whole city was locked down for several days. Most of the property destroyed, not much in Milwaukee unlike Detroit, was Black owned and destroyed by Black teenagers.
Of course there are many sides and issues here, but:
1. No city can allow rioting people, of whatever skin color, to dominate that city
2. If and as needed, then Milwaukee should be locked down again to avoid a Detroit
3. Most of the rioters are teenagers out for some excitement, some to rob and pillage stores and they need to be stopped.
4. And, if guns are pulled out, killed.

I'm in Western Mass. but lucky for us we completely escaped the ice. We got nothing but rain during that big storm last week. We're not going to be so lucky tomorrow. We're supposed to get hit with 6-12" of snow. Happy Birthday to me.
I'm in Central Mass...just south of Worcester...We got slammed!!!! Hubby's wrok office is in Western Mass..and they thought he was kidding about our damage and our situation of being without power and all. When they called him the second time and he relayed the damage to them over the phone of downed trees and powerlines they couldn't believe it...They then started watching the news and then realized just how bad it really was here. My dd went back to school yesterday, we got power back late tues. afternoon. Many in N.H. and as close as 20 miles north of here are still w/o power and the schools will be closed throughout the Holidays.
Yep...I'm a little gun-shy about loosing the power again with all the snow storms headed our way...Fri. 8 to 10+, Sunday into Monday another one and now they're talking another Christmas Eve!!!
I'm in Palmer, not far from some of the towns that were hit really hard. A few people I work with live in the Warren area and they either lost power themselves for a short time or know people who are still without it. It was such a strange storm. It seems my area was literally in the center of it where it stayed warm enough to give us nothing but rain. I consider us very lucky. This morning while I was driving DD to school we saw about 10 electric co. trucks in a row driving north. I figured they were heading out to do more repair work before tomorrow's storm hits.

Historical Traveler Reviews Yelton Manor Bed and Breakfast South Haven
We stayed at Yelton Manor on Feb. 6-8. It is the "Four Seasons" of Bed & Breakfasts. Rooms are beautifully decorated, romantic, & impeccably clean. There is romance in the air. The breakfasts were delicious and the evening appetizers a delightful touch. Right across the street from Lake Michigan so perfect even in Feb. for a nice walk.We had a wonderful time and will definitely return.
What a Wonderful Weekend
The Manor is such a wonderful place to escape to pampering, peace and a glorious surrounding. We loved our much needed weekend at a beautiful home with wonderful hosts.
We Loved the Yelton Manor!
South Haven is a little, lazy lakeshore town, quieter than Saugatuck and an easy 2 hour trip from Central Michigan. Right next to the sandy beach is The Yelton Manor, an inn both luxurious and relaxing at the same time. My partner and I felt well cared for by the attentive innkeepers, firm mattress, cleanliness, great food and lavish amenities, with a wide enough variety books to satisfy all tastes, music, and an extensive and up-to-date collection of videos to view in one's suite. We have found a home away from home!
I came to The Yelton Manor just to relax and be away from my world for a few days. The Manor really creates a mood for escaping. I watched 6 movies (free!) and buried myself in the shelves of books. Food was great, hosts were busy making everything nice but were always available for chat and information, rooms are comfortable and quiet. I am especially fussy about *clean*, and this inn is impeccable. It snowed while we were there and it felt like I was in a magical snowglobe! I highly recommend The Yelton Manor.
Best of All
I have stayed at all three of the so-called "better" B&Bs in South Haven, and Yelton Manor has the other two beat, hands down. For starters, it's the only one with true live-in, hands-on owners, and to me that makes all the difference. I do not go to a B&B so I can meet and be served by teenage hired help...I can go to a hotel for that! I loved the Yelton's nice hosts, great location near the beach, truly gourmet food and thoughtful amenities like the books and CD stereos.
It's the only inn for me now.
Peace, Quiet and Romance
The ultimate get away from it all destination for you and the one you love. We can withdrawl into our own wonderful corner of the universe filled with great books, wonderful gardens and luxurious appointments.
Fabulous rooms, excellent food and charming hosts combine to create an extraordinary venue.
Vestibule of Heaven right in South Haven!!
Looking for an oasis where a balanced blend of beauty, comfort, a library that will WOW you, top-notch hospitality and delectable appetizers and breakfasts will tantalize your taste buds?? Then come to the vestibule of heaven right in South Haven. The Yelton Manor has a charm that puts most other choices down the list. I don't know what the 1st and 2nd winners were this past year but when I heard that Yelton Manor was rated the 3rd BEST B & B in our entire USA, I wasn't surprised in the least. With hosts who are the mosts and an ambiance that is breathless, you'll want to return again as soon as you leave the drive way to be homeward bound.
Lovely, fun, perfect
Yelton Manor is now the only B&B we will ever go to! It has the ultimate getaway location (right on Lake Michigan), but it's much more than that. It's like being at a beautiful home of loving friends who just want you to have the best time possible. We paid winter rates, which are very reasonable...the book collection alone is worth the price of staying. The Christmas decor is elegant and extravagant, but we can't wait to come back in the summer to see the gardens. Hosts and staff are total pros, but fun, connected, really nice. Rooms are beautiful, perfectly clean. Town is small, nothing going on at all.
Only two hours out of Chicago, so we'll be going to Yelton Manor frequently. Awesome place.
While there was much to enjoy at Yelton Manor, at over $200 per night, we were expecting something a bit more indulgent. We never met our "hosts." There were lists of rules and reminders to tip the housekeeping staff in several locations throughout the guesthouse and room. Ask for a clear definition of "lake view," if that is important to you. In all fairness, the room was lovely and the presentation of breakfast was delightful, but why push video tape movies on us when the television in the room was all of 13 inches in size? Fortunately, we were not there to watch movies. Honestly, the feeling we got from our stay there was that we were more of a necessary inconvience than guests. South Haven is nice, but we liked Saugatuck better and will make that our destination next time.
Perfect Charm at Yelton Manor
Over a period of a number of years we stayed at Yelton Manor at least 8 times. The charm and relaxed atmosphere drew us back time after time.
The location is perfect. The hosts are wonderful and you cant beat the chocolate chip cookies.....

... neighbors' 40th Anniversary celebration. All the neighbors turned out - some old, some new, some borrowed ... but I digress. A good time was had by all. Jim and Gayle and Mom Nancy put on a great party. Lots of good food. Then, back to Schmidts for a wonderful boat ride. So nice. Up tomorrow for the rest of our journey home

... going home sweetie," and she responded with "we go back to Karyn's house, see Mallory!" Needless to say, the family made quite an impression on her! Thankfully we came home with lots of pictures for her to "see" everyone until we are able to visit again!
Thankfully this ride went much smoother! Reagan must have really had a fun week, poor little sleepy head didn't even make it to Chicago before she was out. We stopped at the same exit for lunch as we did on the way up there, ...
Reagan's first Michigan trip! Day 6!
... and all of our belongings, that wasnt an option, so we decided to scrap that plan and head to what was supposed to be our after lunch stop, Oval Beach. It was $7.00 to park but then you could come as you go as you pleased all day. When we arrived there was no one else there, which was shocking and nice all at the same time! According to Coastal Living magazine, Saugatuck is one of the happiest coastal communities and Oval Beach is rated the top beach in town, ...

... the past couple of years) as a graduation/ thank you present after we hosted Nicole during her senior year here in Novi. I chose Tanzania because I figure it is more feasible for me to travel to Finland on my own some other time. We have a lot of things planned, but I am most excited just to see my sister again :) I think we have become even closer since being apart. It has taken some planning on both sides, but I got ...
Reagan's first Michigan trip! Day 5!
... It was really neat that we got to sit right next to where they brew the beer! After dinner we headed back to the hotel and Reagan watched Disney junior shows on the portable DVD player we packed while we got to watch the Cardinals on TV, which was definitely a pleasant surprise, Woo hoo! Go Birds! Tomorrow is our last full day of the trip, why do trips always seem to take so long to arrive, but then go by so fast? Its simply not ...
