In a bid to increase the building's energy efficiency, the White House will be outfitted with solar panels beginning this week, a White House official said Friday. The installation will mark the realization of a pledge made by President Obama nearly three years ago.
White House solar panels being installed this week
After nearly three years, the White House began installing solar panels on the First Family's residence this week, a White House official confirmed Thursday. The Obama administration had pledged in October 2010 to put solar panels on the White House as a sign of the president's commitment to renewable energy.
In Japan, Solar Panels Aid in Tsunami Rebuilding
Kenichi Hazawa, a resident of Ofunato in Japan's Iwate Prefecture, moved into his new home this summer—a milestone in and of itself. The rebuilding job has been monumental in this coastal city, where almost one-quarter of the 15,000 homes were destroyed by the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami, and nearly 8,000 people were forced into temporary housing. But there's an important crowning touch on Hazawa's home: rooftop solar panels.

Skip to comments.Dakota's Oil Fields Turn Farmers into Millionaire Drillers
Posted on 07/06/2008 7:41:37 AM PDT by STARWISE
John Bartelson, who smokes Marlboro Lights through fingers blackened with tractor grease, may look like an average wheat farmer. He isn't. He's one of North Dakota's new oil barons.
Every month, he gets a check for tens of thousands of dollars from a company in Houston called EOG Resources Inc., which drilled two oil wells on his land last year. He says the day his first royalty check arrived was one to remember.
"I smiled to beat hell, and I went to town and had a beer," Bartelson, 65, says.
His new wealth springs from the Bakken formation, a sprawling deposit of high-quality crude beneath the durum wheat fields of North Dakota, Montana and southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba. The Bakken may give the United States -- the world's biggest importer of oil -- a new domestic energy source.
Unlike the tar from Canada's oil sands, Bakken crude needs little refining. Swirl some of it in a Mason jar and it leaves a thin, honey-colored film along the sides. It's light -- almost like gasoline -- and sweet, meaning it's low in sulfur.
Best of all, the Bakken could be huge. The Geological Survey's Leigh Price, a Denver geochemist who died of a heart attack in 2000, estimated that the Bakken might hold 413 billion barrels. If so, it would dwarf Saudi Arabia's Ghawar, the world's biggest field, which has produced about 55 billion barrels.
The challenge is getting the oil out. Bakken crude is locked 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) underground in a layer of dolomite, a dense mineral that doesn't surrender oil the way more porous limestone does. The dolomite band is narrow, too, averaging just 22 feet (7 meters) in North Dakota.
The USGS said in April that the Bakken holds as much as 4.3 billion barrels that can be recovered using today's engineering techniques. That's a fraction of the oil that Price said should be there, but it's still the largest accumulation of crude in the 48 contiguous U.S. states. North Dakota, where Bakken exploration is most intense now, won't become Saudi Arabia unless technology improves.
For decades, the Bakken was the fool's gold of the oil industry. The name describes a geological formation that looks like an Oreo cookie: two layers of black shale that bleed oil into the middle layer of dolomite. It's named after Henry O. Bakken, the North Dakota farmer who owned the land where the first drilling rig revealed the shale layers in the 1950s.
All of the layers are thin -- about 150 feet altogether -- and none of them give up oil easily. In older, vertical wells, oil would often flow for a month and then fizzle.
Now, companies like EOG are drilling horizontally. They go straight down 10,000 feet and then put a slight angle in the mud motor, a 30-foot piece of tubing that drives the bit, so they hit the Bakken sideways, making a horizontal tunnel as much as 4,500 feet long through the dolomite. Then they pump pressurized water and sand into the hole to fracture the dolomite, making cracks for oil to seep through.
It eventually winds up in a pipeline that runs east to Clearbrook, Minn., and then south to Chicago.
Several billionaires are at work in the Bakken. Harold Hamm's Enid, Okla.-based Continental Resources Inc. has leases on 487,000 acres in Montana and North Dakota. Hamm, who started out driving a truck, owns 73 percent of Continental, worth $7.9 billion. Philip Anschutz, 68, founder of Qwest Communications International Inc. and Regal Entertainment Group, is there, too.
The big winner so far has been EOG, formerly a subsidiary of bankrupt energy trader Enron Corp. It drilled a horizontal well in western North Dakota just north of Parshall -- population 1,028 -- in April 2006. The well came online a month later and kicked out 1,883 barrels in the first seven days. Unlike the older vertical wells, it's still going.
Northern Oil & Gas Inc., a five-person company near Minneapolis, makes money without drilling or operating wells. It leases in promising areas like the Bakken and gets paid when someone else uses the land to drill.
The other people doing well in the Bakken are the mineral owners under the oil wells -- folks like John Bartelson. Oil drillers have paid them millions for right of access to the oil deposits.
Bartelson's checks are about to get bigger. One more EOG well just came online, he says, and another is about to be fractured with water. Still another has been permitted for drilling. For now, he's farming. The oil market is fickle, he says. Previous crashes drove the rigs out of North Dakota for years, leaving only the wheat.
"It'll crash again," Bartelson says, sipping on a late- afternoon cup of coffee beside his tractor.
Maybe so. But with crude trading above $125 a barrel, it'll be a long time before the rigs leave again, and John Bartelson is likely to be a wealthy man before they do.

ooh! ooh! - - - but - - — what about the Prairie Dogs. What about them? Oooh those bad ol' oil companies.
One of the nurses up at OHSU was showing us a pic of his Dads land on the cell phone (graphic wise).
Dad hit oil and Nurse is thrilled as his student loans are going to be a gift of paid off due to the Black Gold.
And yes drilled horizontally.
He should move out to the land of "swimmin pools and movie stars."
Yeah, that song played in my head when reading this too.
We were just up in West Texas and saw a lot of rigs we hadn't seen before - lots of drilling going on these days.
But what use is this awful oil, Dinghy Harry Reid says it makes us sick!(sarq). What a pathetic,treasonous slime he is! Bet he flew home to Nevada on a private jet consuming Jet A at a huge rate and laughing at the jerks that actually may listen to him.
My lib son has a degree in geology and could be making six figures but is playing banjo and bull fiddle for a living. Sigh.
Yet the media is selling all doom and gloom no oil will end in Global famine.
Exciting to think about America being self sufficient once again.
And IMO the Go Greenies eco plan is going to grow tiresome to those they have tried to sell it to.
A glimmer of coming change.
There is no way the Dakota fields will ever yield what we require daily. The estimate of total oil is very much exaggerated in the article. The recovery rate is less than 3% of about 200 billion in potential biomass.
Also, the area mentioned is in the Newtown area, which is the thickest part of the entire field (Williston Basin) and is not a good example of the overall field's potential.
But it sure sounds good to the uninformed.
Always told my mother that I was a piano player in a whorehouse cause I didn't want her to know I was oilfield trash.
Ask him if he's consider moving up here to Alberta. We need all the good geologists we can get.
We love banjo and fiddle, too. Yee-HAW!
Contact your Congress critters to let them know that you are tired of high gas prices.
He does love Canada and there are a couple of festivals he plays up there. Is Wintergrass up there?
A U.S. Geological Survey assessment, released April 10, shows a 25-fold increase in the amount of oil that can be recovered compared to the agency's 1995 estimate of 151 million barrels of oil.
Technically recoverable oil resources are those producible using currently available technology and industry practices. USGS is the only provider of publicly available estimates of undiscovered technically recoverable oil and gas resources.
New geologic models applied to the Bakken Formation, advances in drilling and production technologies, and recent oil discoveries have resulted in these substantially larger technically recoverable oil volumes. About 105 million barrels of oil were produced from the Bakken Formation by the end of 2007.
Whatever it is, it's that much less not imported from the Middle East, and thank God for it.
If you like $5/gal, Thank Congress in Nov.
Pray for W and Our Troops
I guess that you should go there then and tell all us who are drilling there today just what it is that we're doing wrong.
The actual production figures fall seriously short of your data. We are producing about 150 thousand barrels per day from about 1200 wells.
Maybe if we plug your numbers into those wells, they will somehow double production.
"I smiled to beat hell, and I went to town and had a beer," Bartelson, 65, says...."
....I love it!!...good for you old farmer...we need more stories like this....so what if it doesn't stop our foreign dependence on oil....at least it's a start...at least somebody's doing something more than the nay saying we're getting from the Libs.
EOG Resources just leased some land in east Texas from my family. Wishing them continued success.
I know several people who are very busy in the oil industry - you are right though, all we are hearing is doom and gloom from the media.
Again, there are limitations to what a given field can produce before you do damage to it. The Gulf Coast has potential because there are areas that are off limits near the Florida Coast. The Louisiana district is much older and has been in a slight decline for a while now but newer methods have helped to raise those levels somewhat.
Even in a proven field, there are pockets that yield more than others. It all boils down to what you find when you drill a well. There is still a great deal of risk involved.
I think it's in WA.
It IS Stampede Time right now in Calgary. tho!
How about the popular bumper sticker from the early '90's;
"God....Please let there be another Oil Boom, I promise not to piss it away this time.....(I always loved that one)
I never saw that one but it rings true! lol
Given that we require about 20 million barrels per day, you are correct. Not much of a stretch to throw that dart toward the barn.
Unfortunately greenie-weenies have financial backing from somewhere to have stopped the reopening of those wells.
Most of these lower producing conventional oil wells were capped back in the 90's when oil dipped to $17 / barrel.
The goobermint doesn't want the US to reopen these wells that in the lowest producing wells only have to pump 10 barrels a day to be profitable at $110/barrel.
This is a story the LSM isn't airing.
Amazing, I would love to hear the excuses for all that!! We need to keep getting the word out and sooner or later the rats will fold! They always do!
Reason: Liberal Marxist Elitist Demoncraps and RINOS.
Seems like we have one of those RINOs running as the presumed Republican Presidential Candidate this year.
He ain't getting my vote.
What and leave the delightful ND winters?
They are offering my son-in-law who has a MS in Geology his own business if he'll move to Calgary. How is the living up there?
He stupid! There is no one source for our energy independence. That's why we need to exploit All our resources. I suspect you are one of those enviro-wackos who wants us to return to the good old days. You know. The ones where sanitation, refrigeration, mechanization and medication didn't help us reach the current expectancy of 78 years of quality life.
Keep smiling, drink all the beer you want and keep the coffee pot hot, Mr Bartelson. Just don't pull a "Jeb" and move to Beverly Hills. God bless you and grant many more years to enjoy you success.
Any Questions, Liberals?
I am not in the oil industry, I am just a plain ole American citizen that is sick to death of seeing everything in our country outsourced.
Being naive, I can't understand how countries to the north of us and south of us have enough oil that they can export it but we, being smack dab in the middle don't have any.
Nothing is impossible if you want it bad enough. In 3 years we were able to build an atomic bomb which ended WW2 and you're telling us that with technology today we cannot get oil?
Do we need and alternative sources of energy, of course. Get the government out of it and let individuals develop it. I hate when I hear that we are addicted to oil. Natural human inguenutity will alway find ways to invent and produce. Pulling ethenol out of blue was downright stupid because nobody thought of the ramifications, as usual.
We need to drill and drill now, no matter how hard it will be. You can't just give up or give in to the globalists that hate our guts.
Being self sufficient is the American Way. The ripple effect of us drilling is enormous, the jobs created, the tax es collected and so on.
But hey, what do I know.
I might get my degree in geology. I want to fine OIL for Americans*

The company, based in Stockholm, said net profit for the period dropped to 457 million kronor ($75 million) from 911 million kronor a year earlier.
Revenue for the quarter fell by 6.7 percent to 23.4 billion kronor. The company said demand was "stable" in Europe and North America, but that increased raw-material costs and continued pressure on prices weighed on results.
"The prices of some of our most important raw materials continue to increase, especially plastics. We expect our costs for raw materials to increase in 2011 by about 2 billion kronor compared to the previous year," President and CEO Keith McLoughlin said in a statement. "Our ambition is to gradually compensate for the increase in costs through price increases, improvements in product mix and cost savings."
McLoughlin was the head of Electrolux's North American headquarters when it moved from Augusta to Charlotte in 2010. The company maintains a customer service center in Augusta.
He said Electrolux plans to increase prices in North America in the second quarter.
The company will implement selective price hikes in Europe as well, but McLoughlin said it could take time before the increases will give effect.
Electrolux said it expects market demand for appliances in Europe and North America to grow by around 2 percent and 3-5 percent respectively in 2011.

An integrated PV system that uses foam as an anchor instead of rack penetrations was recently installed on the roof of the SunTrust Building in St. Petersburg, FL. Lift tests confirm the installation can withstand wind loads in excess of 200 mph.
Solar may be one of the fastest growing sources of renewable energy, but many facility managers have reservations about the necessary roof penetrations and weight load associated with PV racks. Integrated photovoltaics are an alternative that can alleviate these concerns. The SunTrust Building is Florida's first commercial roof to install a new form of this technology.
Installed by Solar Energy Management (SEM), the 50 kW solar system occupies 50,000 square feet of roof space. Instead of conventional ballasted or mechanically attached racks, it uses a sprayed urethane foam distributed load attachment system that supports the solar array without penetrating the roof.
"This system allows the weight load to be distributed across the entire field of the roof, every 4 feet, without drilling holes into the structure," explains Scott McIntyre, CEO of SEM.
Working with a structural engineer, SEM also conducted lift tests of the roof and stanchions used with the integrated solar system.
"The lift tests far exceeded our expectations," McIntyre adds. "The results showed that the solar attachment system can withstand wind loads in excess of 200 mph, which is important in Florida."
Prior to installation, SEM worked with Wallace, Welch & Willingham Insurance, owners of the SunTrust Building, to establish a cost of energy per square foot. They discovered that a solar array could save 40% of the company's energy costs.

So first things first, last month I bought a psp and some games. I have to tell you, I was'nt expecting this thing to kick so much ass. It has amazing resolution, and initially I was'nt going to use it for anything but games, but it really is a viable movie player, especially for trips. I picked up lumines for it, which is super addictive, I also got puzzle quest, but I have'nt gotten into it yet. Chains of Olympus, though, well it really is a portable PS2 game,and a damn good one too.
While my PS3 has'nt been getting much of a workout, I did play a massive PS2 game. I put over 70 hours into Odin Sphere. If you like RPG's or just games in general you should get this game. the 2D action was great, and you play through five different characters, with different play styles. Also you grow sheep. Did I mention it's loosely based on The Ring Cycle by Wagner?
Then there's a backlog of games I've been playing through on my 360. Just today I finished Just Cause (see what I did there?). I bought that brand new for fiften bucks. Fifteen bucks! While it was completely worth the money, it did have a few problems. The story missions had a nice variety to them, but the main body of the game "liberating" towns, and military compounds was repetative, and while it did have new suites of weapons, and vehicles to unlock they were pretty much standard. One of the things that bothered me was that there was some stuff that was too hard to use, ie. you had to drive five minutes to get to the helicopter you want, which tou then have to fly for five minutes to get to the fight. Over all it seems like the world is bigger than it needs to be, Saints Row may be smaller, but in this case denser is better. The bottom line is what you always see in a review for open world games, this is a decent fix to hold you over till GTA IV.
Another flawed gem I picked up recently is GRAW. That this is a launch title is obvious from the clipping, and pop up. The thing that holds it back for me though is that the AI is'nt that great. To be fair I have'nt tried multi-player. Single player is marred by troops that get stuck in corners, or not see enemies. Also I felt like the control interface was limiting, being basically go here, go there.
Condemned : Criminal Origins was a launch title that I feel was mis-catogorized as an FPS, it really owes more to survival horror. As far as the game goes I really liked it, but I wish it had'nt degenerated into that whole occult thing with the final boss. The game play was good, even the CSI minigames, I just thought the story fell apart in the third act.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot, I got guitar hero III. I have'nt played Rock Band yet, so I can't make any comparisons there. As far as the new boss battles, and battle mode, I like them more in retrospect at least the boss battles were offputting initially. Ultimitly for me, more of the same is good news when "the same" is this good.
Finally I played Overlord. This game frustrated me more than I care to admit. I think part of that frustration came from my memories of Pikimin, which was obviously the bluprint for this game, and as is often the case much better than the pretender. Of course a game is only really frustrating if the core is fun, but something gets in the way of your enjoying it. In this case using your minions for the greater evil is the fun, the artificial difficulty via the klunky interface is getting in my way. I may try to finish it, but with Gun, and GRAW2 already waiting in my collection, not to mention the pre-order I just put down on GTA IV (which comes out in just four weeks!) that may not happen.

Skip to comments.Vicious obituary pulled from RGJ.com
Posted on 09/12/2013 10:12:02 AM PDT by Red Badger
RENO, Nev. (KRNV & MyNews4.com) It's an obituary like you've probably never seen before. Its about a woman who died and is survived by her children who, according to the obituary, spent her lifetime torturing them in pretty much every way possible. The obituary goes on to paint a picture of children who are grateful that their mother, Marianne Theresa-Johnson Reddick, is dead.
The Reno Gazette Journal President & Publisher John Maher tells News 4 the obituary was sent in via a self-service online submission. The obituary appeared in the print edition of the newspaper today, September 10th. The on-line version of the obituary has been removed as the newspaper is investigating the circumstances surrounding the placement of the obituary.
The obituary says Johnson-Reddick died September 30th. News 4 has confirmed a woman with that name died on August 30th.
UNEDITED VERSION OF THE SUBMITTED OBITUARY: January 4, 1935 Sept. 30, 2013
Marianne Theresa John¬son- Reddick born Jan 4, 1935 and died alone on Sept. 30, 2013. She is sur¬vived by her 6 of 8 children whom she spent her lifetime torturing in every way pos¬sible. While she neglected and abused her small chil¬dren, she refused to allow anyone else to care or show compassion towards them. When they became adults she stalked and tortured anyone they dared to love. Everyone she met, adult or child was tortured by her cruelty and exposure to violence, criminal activity, vulgarity, and hatred of the gentle or kind human spirit.
On behalf of her children whom she so abrasively ex¬posed to her evil and vio¬lent life, we celebrate her passing from this earth and hope she lives in the after¬life reliving each gesture of violence, cruelty, and shame that she delivered on her children. Her surviv¬ing children will now live the rest of their lives with the peace of knowing their nightmare finally has some form of closure.
Most of us have found peace in helping those who have been exposed to child abuse and hope this message of her final passing can re¬vive our message that abus¬ing children is unforgive¬able, shameless, and should not be tolerated in a hu¬mane society. Our greatest wish now, is to stimulate a national movement that mandates a purposeful and dedicated war against child abuse in the United States of America.
lets see how long this one last it got pulled early but what if all they talk about is true
It was probably posted in the wrong forum. The mods are really on their game.......
She died on September 30, 2013? Sounds suspicious to me.
Looks like I have a template for my mother-in-law's obituary, when the need arises...
September was probably a typo.
The error is explained in the body of the text above.
If I were Marianne Theresa Johnson-Reddick I would be asking for POlice protection or maybe buying a gun. BEFORE Sept 30.
Seemingly, the alternative was for the children to say absolutely nothing at all.
She is dead. Died August, not Sept.
Truth is truth. OTOH, who did it and was it really that bad that it was necessary to speak for so many offspring?
Sweet. I don't think they should have pulled it. Some people it's just not worth pretending they were nice.
A follow up story.
Some moms are June Cleaver, some moms kill their kids. On average most moms are closer to the June Cleaver side but that doesn't mean there's not plenty that are sick and/or wicked. If this is an accurate description of this lady, I have no problem with her kids giving an honest account of what she was like while she was alive.
Tru dat.
Having seen abuse up close, I am with the family.
Let this stand as that woman's eternal monument.
I'm saving it for when my Vile Fat Ugly Liein Thieven Lesbian Witch sister in law dies. ;)
"A Child Called It"
I recommend reading it.
This sounds exactly like a story from a number of years back. Color me skeptical.
I read this and got teary, I could feel and understand the pain. What its like to have your childhood stolen from you. I forgive my parents, my Father who passed back in 2002 I totally forgive, I dont forget but I forgive. I think of a song lyric by Mercy Me's Beautiful....
Before you ever took a breath
Long before the world began
Of all the wonders He possessed
There was one more precious
Of all the earth and skies above
You're the one He madly loves
Enough to die
She was probably a "Lifelong Democrat." They are experienced in making other people's lives miserable.
I'm the one who posted this in the regular forum as "news, current events". I don't know why it was pulled, because I saw a parallel with the funeral I attended yesterday. In the case yesterday, the love shared by the deceased and the surviving husband was lauded. If anyone had been telling the truth, they would have told about the years of anguish and tears suffered by the deceased at the philandering and cruelty of her husband who sat there (surrounded by females) and bawling like a baby.
I just about lost it when they played a recording of Frank Sinatra croaking (singing) "The best is yet to come" as part of the service, and I thought about my friend who spent her life caring for others, even when they didn't deserve it, and suffering insults for her efforts. And there sat her husband, sopping up all the attention from every woman in the room.
Oh man, I'm so sorry to hear that.
It speaks more about them than it does their abusive mother. This reminds me of those dysfunctional idiots on daytime talk TV who seemingly boast about their relational problems.
While it may have been good therapy to write such an obit, they should have left it with there psychiatrist
Posting to "General Chat" is usually pretty safe.............
I'm so sorry this happened and that you had to witness it. On a MUCH lesser scale, when my mean, mentally unstable husband killed himself, his family flew in from CA (to GA) and told how much they loved him and how special he was. When they'd ignored him all 23 years of our marriage and before. It hurt him so much, but he died alone. Yeah, they loved him, surrrrre they did. So many of my friends came to the service, and our kids friends. He really had no friends. I was so glad though that people came and he wasn't alone at the very end, even though he was already gone. I too pretended, for the service. What else was there to do. He must've hurt so much, before he shot himself.
A Child Called It
Apparently she wasn't their real mother, but ran a foster home.
R2nd, I am not sure you fully appreciate the hell these children must've gone through. This might have been very healing, if their pain was ignored, even condoned, all those years.
Where did that information come from?
On a side note, a local couple, several years back were 'foster parents' to some children, four IIRC, that were apparently just in it for the money they would get from the state. They would go for dinner at a local restaurant and order big meals for themselves, but just order grits for the children. The restaurant finally refused to serve them and called the authorities. The children were undernourished and not taken care of and were removed from the home. I don't know what ever happened to the couple.........
Read link at 13. This family was part of some heavy legislation from the 70's.
Why should someone's evil deeds remain private just because they were done to family? If her abuse victims were neighbors nobody would tell them to keep it to themselves.
Perhaps, but forgiveness is the answer.
While I see some positive steps (in the obit) the children are taking - they will never begin to recover without forgiving their mother.
I saw your earlier post regarding your husband of 23 years? Do you mind if I ask you a personal question? You don't have to answer.
Did you forgive him?
"Why should someones evil deeds remain private just because they were done to family? If her abuse victims were neighbors nobody would tell them to keep it to themselves."
I had always heard, and was taught, not to speak ill of the dead. Doesn't really accomplish a lot and the true Judge has the say then.
May God bless you and your sister.
I don't blame the family for the obit. May it be the beginning of peace for them.
So Stalin and Hitler are off limits? Venting anger can be very useful, better than keeping stuff pent up. If you're really honestly grateful somebody is dead, and the really honestly is a better place without them, be honest, it is the best policy.
"Who, me???"
Yes I have, it took a while! We just can't decide on what schedule that someone forgives, and it's really soon for them.
Thanks. You have far more insight into this matter than I will ever have. And I respect your comments.
God Bless....
Heck, I thought we were talking about somebodies Mom. Stalin and Hitler, knock yourself out.
My ex-wife of 20 years ago just died. At the funeral, husband acknowledged that she could be "difficult". Seems that several wanted me to share "war stories". I chose not to participate. It just didn't seem right bringing up the past. She had a lot of good qualities also and I prefer to remember that.
Anyway, it was just my opinion. But I think in most cases, other than genocidal manics, that it is pretty good advice...
A friend of mine who is a social worker said of foster parents: "Ten percent of them are saints and ninety percent are in it for the money."
By the sound of it, Just because she is dead don't mean she cant haunt people.
SOunds like a real Harpy
Any insight I have I unfortunately got the hard way.
If we're not supposed to speak ill of the dead then we're not supposed to speak ill of the dead.
That was your ex-wife from 20 years in the past, you broke up, you moved on. Mom's screw people up on a much more permanent basis. 2 of her 8 kids are dead. Wonder how many of the survivors have drug or alcohol problems. Every day they have to deal with the fact that their mom was a nut who abused them. When was the last time you had to deal with the fact that your ex was "difficult"? It's all about the wounds, if you recover before they die sure leave the past in the past. If there's half a dozen of you still struggling with the effects, it's not really the past.
To be quite honest with you the only thing in life that makes any sense to me is killing as many vermin like your parents as we possibly can. They are the majority of the human species. What is the point of doing anything else? Nothing is possible as long as these vermin infect generation after generation. The only way to get rid of troublesome weeds is to pull them from the roots.
The maddening thing is my parents were remorseful after the abuse, which was worse, Sis and I grew up totally confused. I have confronted my Mom who now has amnesia about it, like most abusive parents in the 1970's and early 1980's. She falls back on that her parents did it also and that it was not that bad. I guess getting closed fist punched at the dinner table for teasing my Sister was right out of Dr. Spock Mom....

The Raiders have officially given up on JaMarcus Russell. Cutting what many fans would consider dead weight while saving the team $6.45 million.
It would seem that Al Davis is finally taking advice from his critics:
Lane Kiffin for example said he couldn't win with JaMarcus.
Last year, though he didn't drop any names, Greg Ellis blamed some of the Raiders performances on players going out the night before games.
And Jeff Garcia claimed he felt the Raiders had too many players "just collecting paychecks".
Sure JaMarcus may have been one of the players going out the night before games and "just collecting paychecks", but was he the only one?... Definitely not...
The Raiders are yet to completely purge the team of dead weight. Here's a look at some of the other players who are likely next to visit JaMarcus Russell on the unemployment line.

Pac-Money: Thanks anyway, Bob, I'll wait for the movie
By Lyle Fitzsimmons
Man, that Bob Arum is something.
He zigzags across the globe schlepping a fight few seems to care about, yet he maintains enough savvy amid the jet lag to know precisely what to say to get other people talking.
That recipe is simple.
Mention Manny Pacquiao's name in the same breath as Floyd Mayweather Jr.'s.
Sprinkle in words like "optimistic" when suggesting they might one day share a ring together.
And add a pinch of practical purpose by claiming the appropriate television networks have met.
Then just stand back and let the media dig in until the belt buckle gives way.
Such was the case again last week, when Arum, Pacquiao and Freddie Roach traipsed through San Francisco on the tour promoting the Filipino's November date with Chris Algieri – the newly minted 140-pound champ with eight career KOs and zero wins over anyone in anyone's top 15 at welterweight.
The fight was concocted when four-time foe Juan Manuel Marquez didn't leap at the dangled prospect of a fifth go-round with Pacquiao, and after Algieri scuttled the prospect of an in-stable tilt between Pacquiao and Ruslan Provodnikov with an iffy upset of the sturdy Russian in June.
Pacquiao is the overwhelming choice of oddsmakers at VegasInsider.com to defeat Algieri – it'll take a $1,300 outlay on the WBO's 147-pound champ to make $100 – and what novelty does exist revolves around the fight site in Macau, China, where Pacquiao will appear for a second time in three outings.
Given all that, and showing his 41 years at Top Rank haven't been wasted, Arum changed the narrative.
A Google search for news items including "Pacquiao" and "Mayweather" in the aftermath of ol' Bob's comments yielded links from Sports Illustrated to the Washington Post, and provided any evidence needed to back the notion that "PacMan" vs. "Money" – even with its principals at ages 35 and 37, respectively – is still the dreamiest of dreams for a superfight-starved boxing marketplace.
Wanting it, however, is still a quantum leap from getting it.
Lest anyone forget, this isn't nearly the first time these two have seemingly inched a mite closer to one another in an awkward he-said/he-said tango that began more than half a decade ago.
Drug tests, purse splits and general animosity have been portrayed as road blocks to progress at one time or another, though it still never fails to move the needle when one side even implies a reference to the other in conversation.
Mayweather set the Twitter-verse ablaze with Manny vs. Floyd chatter several weeks ago upon suggesting he had a "big surprise" in store for fans next spring, even though he never once uttered Pacquiao's name. Several months earlier, in fact, while touring to promote a fight with Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, when he did bother to mention his would-be rival, he sneeringly labeled Pacquiao "a has-been."
His enmity for Arum since their relationship ended in 2006 is among the sport's worst-kept secrets, too.
And while Pacquiao rarely fails to answer in the affirmative when asked if he'd like a Mayweather fight, he's never been the type to seize an interview microphone and demand it outright – defaulting instead to a far less inflammatory "I fight whoever my promoter picks for me" stance.
Unless those realities change, the latest leans more toward hot air than hot news.
Neither HBO nor Showtime showed its hand upon a follow-up request, with the former, represented by media relations executive Raymond Stallone, citing a "firm policy" through which it does "not speculate/comment on fights that are not made." The latter, in the specific form of sports communications vice president Chris DeBlasio, delivered a more traditional "no comment."
Though the tepid cable sidesteps are by no means a flat-out rejection of Arum's insistence that appropriate parties have been in contact, it's at least somewhat telling that his sudden statement was accompanied by nothing else tangible that indicates any substantial progress has been made.
No reliable rumor. No indication of new interest. No worthwhile handwriting on any pristine walls.
Nothing beyond a promoter with a clearly detectable agenda, deciding that this was as good as any to toss a crumb to the peasants and stoke the impression that a satiating meal might follow.
Maybe so, but until the plate's on the table and the fork's in the steak, you'd best hold off on seconds.

Fitzbitz says: It's no slam dunk that a 21-year-old with six fights can handle a 29-year-old who's a fourth-year pro, but I've got no qualms taking my chances with a potential stud in the making. Inoue in 8
IBF junior featherweight title – Belfast, Northern Ireland
Kiko Martinez (champion/No. 4 IWBR) vs. Carl Frampton (No. 2 contender/No. 3 IWBR)
Martinez (31-4, 23 KO): Third title defense; Third fight in Northern Ireland (1-1, 0 KO)
Frampton (18-0, 13 KO): First title fight; Stopped Martinez in nine rounds in 2013
Fitzbitz says: You have a guy who won by stoppage the first time, fighting in his hometown, for his first world championship. Hard to imagine he won't get it done a second time. Frampton by decision
WBA/WBO flyweight titles – Mexico City, Mexico
Juan Francisco Estrada (champion/No. 3 IWBR) vs. Giovani Segura (No. 1 WBA contender/No. 4 IWBR)
Estrada (26-2, 19 KO): Second title defenses; Unbeaten in Mexico since 2011 (6-0, 4 KO)
Segura (32-3-1, 28 KO): Seventh title fight (5-1, 5 KO); Thirteenth fight in Mexico (11-1, 11 KO)
Fitzbitz says: Had it not been for Brian Viloria, this fight may have had a different champion/challenger arrangement. By the time it ends, it's quite possible that's what we'll see anyway. Segura by decision

San Jacinto Christian Academy advanced to the girls basketball state championship game of the Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools for the second time in three years after defeating Dallas Lutheran, 62-54, in a Class 3A semifinal at Mansfield Summit.
The Lady Patriots, who won the championship in 2007, will take on Katy Faith at 3 p.m. today in the final.
After a slow start, San Jacinto extended its first-quarter lead from six points to 14 at the half, 33-19.
Lady Patriots head coach Jeff Bearden said his team played inconsistently for the most part.
"We started out well in the first half but played nervously," Bearden said. "We would get a lead and then not play so well, playing as though we were very nervous. We kind of let them back in the game in the fourth quarter also by making only three of 11 free throws."
Carey Cox scored a game-high 22 points, and Saralyn Smith chipped in with 15.
San Jacinto 15 33 47 62

After a truly miserably week, today has been perfect autumnal sunshine. Got a lot done in the GH - re-potted loads of cuttings that have rooted well. Also potted up perlargoniums to overwinter, ditto fuchsias and cannas.
Bit of a touch and go frost last night - by the time I looked out, it was a very heavy dew, but OH says that there was a bit of a white glaze at something silly o'clock. Most unusual for us here - usually first frost is late November - but it did concentrate the mind wonderfully on getting the tender bits under cover!
Evening meal is roast pork today - Gloucester Old Spot from the local butcher. (Pig raised by the local college students studying agriculture.) Delicious with apple sauce (may even be as good as Frank's ham ).
It rained yesterday. Disturbed night's sleep because of the noise of heavy rain accompanied by intense thunderstorms. Lashed it down this morning . Thought it had set in for another day - but by the afternoon, the sun had come out - and they're predicting a good day tomorrow
Driving out today, there was ample evidence of localised flooding - fortunately subsided by the time I was there ulike Frank's experience!
Thanks Caroline - tea and cake = perfect comfort recipe. I'm glad,in a way, that it's not just my laptop that has misbehaved - sometimes this MB seems to get a bit slow and/or twizzled up!
The rain has finally eased up. If you saw on the news the pictures of the river that was Clovelly main street, then think of us a few miles further up the coast! I may have moaned about our weather - but it could have been so very much worse!
What a horrible week so far - and I haven't been able to get on to the MB - or rather, when I did, everything froze and even the PM I sent didn't go anywhere!
It has been grey all week - fog at tree-top level, rain, fog, more rain, and today it is chucking it down. To ad to my woes (sorry if I dump it all here) OH was in hospital - fortunately, a minor op and out after a couple of days. But it's a 2hour+ round trip to Taunton (the downside of rural living, I suppose) an driving each day through vile weather was no fun at all. Yesterday, when I thought it was a bit less grey, I drove "over the top road" ie Exmoor. Bad judgement call - thick, thick fog aka low cloud.
It's depressing - but I shall batten down the hatches today. OH is home, and it's warmer and drier indoors, that's for sure!
(Rant over.)
Nice day of sunshine with a bit more cloud than yesterday. Got a lot done - cleared and cleaned GH and am nearly done with getting things battened down for winter in there. There's still a lot of colour in the garden, and I must harden my heart and really get it sorted. Trouble is, the verbena bonariensis still has lots of flowers giving late butterflies a much-needed boost (and I know their seeds will sustain the birds - but, oh the seedlings! Everywhere!). And the Michaelmas daisies are very late this year - but are dripping with butterflies, so they will just have to wait until they are well and truly finished before I cut them down.
Badger (I presume) has rolled in the Miscanthus by the leat - so I'm in two minds whether or not to prop it back up or cut it down. Roses are still blooming and in fine fettle. Hebes still in flower. Verbascum has sent up yet more flowers.
On second thoughts, perhaps I'll give it all just a couple more weeks . . . . .
(Caroline - if the weather sets in as they are suggesting it will this week, we'll be lucky to see the shore, let alone wave/do semaphore! )
Caroline - you must have seen me waving! It was gorgeous looking across the Bristol channel which, you must admit, can look rather murky at times! Beautiful clear blue today, though.
Glorious here in the SW, too. And what a difference a few hours make! Went across the moor again to Barnstaple - the most wonderful views across to Wales, with blue sea as calm as a millpond. Getting cooler tonight, but hopefully it'll be almost as good again tomorrow.
A rainbow week! Lots of showers, lots of sunny interludes which created lovely rainbows at times.
Tonight it is chucking it down. Been across the moor to Lynton cinema (Anna Karenina - brilliant) and it was a white-knuckle drive back with rain in sheets, localised flooding and nothing but cats' eyes to guide me! Should be better tomorrow though!
Sorry - not been around much for the past few days: but Saturday was lovely - very warm and breezy - perfect for doing the washing, and clearing the last of the outdoor tomatoes (the green trusses are tied in long strings, and are hung up to ripen). Yesterday was less good, but today has been generally nice again, apart from the odd sharp shower. Went for a walk along the beach, and, wouldn't you know it, the heavens opened when we were furthest away from any shelter. Well - we could have dived under the cliff, but since it is crumbling and occasionally dropping large chunks we thought wet was better than squashed
"Panackelty" must be a local dialect term, Frank, for which we need a translation! I'm guessing from the context that it's a term for making do with whatever is available in the larder.
Glad that you're not drowning under the deluge btw!

Mitt Romney is due to deliver his first major speech of the GOP primary on foreign policy on Friday morning, from the Citadel military academy in Charleston, S.C. The address has been billed as a major opportunity for the GOP presidential frontrunner to put further distance -- in terms of seriousness and vision -- between himself and the rest of the primary field, but already a fair amount is known about his foreign policy outlook.
In a snippet of the speech released by the campaign in advance Thursday night, Romney calls for a strong and proactive military, and the return of America to a role of world supremacy and guardianship:
This century must be an American Century. In an American Century, America has the strongest economy and the strongest military in the world. In an American Century, America leads the free world and the free world leads the entire world. God did not create this country to be a nation of followers. America is not destined to be one of several equally balanced global powers. America must lead the world, or someone else will. Without American leadership, without clarity of American purpose and resolve, the world becomes a far more dangerous place, and liberty and prosperity would surely be among the first casualties.
If that sounds a bit like the perspective of the George W. Bush administration, there's also this: Romney's team of national security advisers, also announced on Thursday, includes many of the very Bush administration officials and aides who were most responsible for pushing that era's controversial policies, from torture and warrantless wiretapping to the war in Iraq.
Take a look at a slideshow of a few of the key figures in Romney's team of foreign policy advisers, and their roles and legacies from the Bush era:

The discord among leaders of the Delaware River Port Authority claimed its first body yesterday as Mike Joyce, the agency's chief safety officer, resigned.
Joyce was suspended last week for three days and forced to pay $600 for the unauthorized use of an E-ZPass transponder assigned to another agency official.
DRPA spokesman Ed Kasuba confirmed Joyce's resignation yesterday but said he could not offer any more information.
Agency leaders - Chairman John Estey, Vice Chairman Jeff Nash and Executive Director John Matheussen - did not respond to requests for comment.

UWM serves 'Lear' with a Russian twist
At the beginning of the "King Lear" now on stage at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee - a collaboration with the Massachusetts-based Shakespeare & Company - naked scaffolding is wrapped in white sheets, shaped to suggest the classical facade of an ordered world.
During the ensuing three hours, that thin disguise will be torn asunder, piece by tattered piece - much as Lear himself is stripped of his clothes and illusions. »Read Full Article
Setzer brings swinging holiday cheer to Potawatomi
On the 16th day of November, Brian Setzer gave with glee: 5 sax men, 4 trumpet players, 2 backing singers...and drums dressed in tinsel, glittering.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra's Christmas show, at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater, also had falling suds (subbing for snow), TV theme song cameos (including "The Flintstones," "Peter Gunn" and "The Andy Griffith Show") and covers from Setzer's Stray Cats rockabilly days. »Read Full Article(1)

Next Act Theatre offers solid primer on Marxism with 'Groucho'
Like the Marx Brothers' early vaudeville show, Next Act Theatre's"Groucho: A Life in Revue" is a "skule" act. It gently and congenially educates the audience about one of America's great comedians, Groucho Marx, whose remarkable career included Broadway, movie and TV hits built around his wisecracking persona.
After a brief opening sequence, this revue, written by Groucho's son Arthur and Robert Fisher, unfolds chronologically. It's sentimental in spots, but heck, you might be sentimental, too, if you were writing a show about your father and uncles. It's not warts and all, but it does acknowledge Groucho's regrets about three marriages that ended in divorce. »Read Full Article

Sell American Homes 4 Rent shares now
Dear Mr. Berko: What do you think of American Homes 4 Rent? I bought 300 shares at $17 in January. -- GP, Cleveland
Dear GP: The raw power of Wall Street money, descending upon recession-ravaged cities and scooping up distressed homes, is responsible for a 30 percent rebound in single-family home prices since early 2011.
Too many American families live like indubitable slobs and don't give a hoot about the houses in which they live. They'd sooner spend $7,000 for an entertainment system or $9,000 for an ATV and snowmobile than they would water a parched lawn or maintain an overgrown yard.
These are the tenants to whom American Homes 4 Rent leases its properties. And this is the market from which AMH will derive nearly $373 million in rental income in 2014 while booking a $44 million loss and paying a dinky 20-cent dividend.
And as its properties fall in value, AMH will start selling some SFHs (invading your principal) and using the proceeds to pay for increased maintenance costs on existing homes. Sell AMH; in a few years, it may be trading at $10.
Please address your financial questions to Malcolm Berko, P.O. Box 8303, Largo, FL 33775, or e-mail him at email@example.com.

Overall great experience.

Dragons Dogma is sort of an odd game. I don't quite know what to make of it. It's very old and new at the same time. In between the isolation of games like Skyrim and it's open world, which I'm still playing, to games like Final Fantasy XII which has an open world with multiple party members, but still somewhat isolated. Dragon's Dogma fits somewhere in between. It's in between the space of other RPGs. It's neither here nor there, it just is, and I'm glad it exists.
For one thing, the game sure does expect you to do a lot of walking. I must admit that I haven't finished the game yet and I'm still chipping away at it, but so far I've had to walk everywhere. It strikes me a bit odd because I can't remember another JRPG that does this, unless you've reached the end of a game and are fully maxed out so you go back doing side missions across the world map. Even then you usually get to transport yourself with a portal or an airship. Even Super Mario had pipes and flutes. I'm not complaining about the walking. It's an integril part of the game actually. That's what sets it apart from other RPGs. There is a real time day and night cycle, so when you start off on any given path outside a town or city towards a point on your map, you may end it travelling by night, which turns into a completely different game.
There aren't many games that completely transform between day and night. But this game does. I never expected to find a simple lantern as the most essential tool in my inventory. Yes, a lantern! These lanterns need to be fueled with oil. They do run out after a while so it would be best to always carry extra oil. Also, give your party members some lamps as well. This very simple detail lends so much to the workings of the game. It caught me a bit off gaurd, but then I found it to be a very refreshing idea. I could probably write a whole blog about the importance of lanterns in this game, but I won't. Regardless of how powerful your characters are, it would be pointless to journey on without a source of light to see the way on a darkened field, cave or tomb, which are pitch black. Other games just take small details like this for granted.
I hope to finish up with this game soon. There is a lot to understand about the world still. I haven't even mentioned the pawn system or item creation. The game is deep. One moment you are leveled up and kicking ass, the next you get your ass handed to you by giant cyclops that appears randomly behind a hill. The job of an Arisen is never done.

Some time ago the public was edified by the sensible humor and sarcasm of Mark Twain on the subject of "Christian Science." It is too bad that he, like other mortals, has his share of unwisdom, which he exhibits in recent remarks credited to him, endorsing osteopathy in particular and unlimited license in medical practice generally. He has lived so long abroad, it would seem that he is peculiarly jealous of personal liberty in America, a peculiarity often noticed in other individuals from foreign lands. His long residence in Vienna, where he apparently found matters temporarily satisfactory notwithstanding the police and other regulations, has apparently given him an appetite for license that he wants indulged. The state here, he says, stands for liberty, and without full freedom for osteopathy things would be as unsatisfactory as the garden of Eden was to Adam and Eve; people will want what they can

Analysis: Is Congress hurting the economy?
Sep 5, 2011, 10:13 p.m.
By Andy Sullivan
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With the economy facing a heightened risk of sliding back into recession, the country's elected representatives may be pushing it closer to the brink.
Democrats and Republicans say job creation is a top priority as they return to work this week, but there is a growing body of evidence that Congress is actually hurting the economy.
A protracted budget stalemate in the first half of the year caused nervous federal agencies to sit on billions of dollars that should have been circulating through the economy.
A vitriolic debate over raising the debt ceiling this summer spooked consumers, caused turmoil in financial markets and led to a first-ever downgrade of the United State's credit rating by Standard & Poor's.
A spat over subsidies for rural air services in late July idled airport construction projects across the country and threw thousands temporarily out of work for several weeks.
Businesses that had to suspend their airport construction projects are still trying to recover from the disruption.
In Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, the Daniel J. Keating Co. has had to rebuild a partially built access road that washed away when they were forced to suspend work. The company is also trying to reschedule product deliveries and safety inspections and round up subcontractors who had moved on to other projects, said company treasurer Joe Maloney.
"I don't think they have any appreciation about what's going on out in the public," Maloney said of Congress. "They seem to be totally ignorant of how this economy is driven by employment."
Maloney's disgust is widely shared. Congress' public approval rating tied its record low of 13 percent in a Gallup poll in August, while those surveyed by the Pew Research Center used words like "ridiculous" and "childish" to describe the wrangling over the debt ceiling at its height in late July.
"I cannot recall an instance where voters were so demoralized," said Greg Valliere, chief political strategist at Potomac Research Group. "The debacle in late July seemed to reinforce a sense of resignation, not anger, that everyone in Washington is incompetent and recklessly partisan."
Those bad feelings aren't just confined to cable TV news talk shows and Internet message boards.
Standard & Poor's cited the political environment as a primary reason for its decision to downgrade the country's credit rating. Stocks plunged after the downgrade, battering consumers' retirement holdings.
U.S. consumer confidence fell in August to its lowest level since the 2007-2009 recession. Some economists, businesses and pollsters say the debt-ceiling debate was a major factor.
"This collapse of economic confidence is not an independent event driven only by economic reality," Republican pollster Bill McInturff wrote in a blog post. "This sharp a drop in consumer confidence is a direct consequence of the lack of confidence in our political system and its leaders."
With consumers inclined to hold off on big purchases, that could spell trouble for manufacturers of durable goods like automobiles and refrigerators -- raising the risk of a double-dip recession.
