Local moms hoping to win $50,000
By RACHEL BRANT
Staff writer
Becoming a parent drastically changes a persons life, but for Suzanne Sprague and her sister Kelly Bolton, their daughters also sparked a small business.
Sprague, of Bremerton, and Bolton, of Lake Stevens, created Melodies About Me last year. The business creates and sells personalized childrens songs.
Sprague came up with the idea last July while she and her husband were on vacation. They walked past a kiosk selling personalized childrens music and Sprague bought CDs for her daughter, niece and nephew.
I was like you know what I bet a lot of people are like us and would like having one, Sprague said.
Sprague, a former high school science teacher, and Bolton, a former cost analyst at Boeing, said they would have never entered the childrens music industry if it were not for their children. Spragues 1-year-old daughter, Hannah, and Boltons 8-month-old daughter, Emily, served as the driving forces behind Melodies About Me.
Without having kids we definitely wouldnt be doing this, Bolton said.
Sprague and Bolton teamed up with their mother, Terry Lage of Marion, Iowa, to write childrens songs and personalize each CD with a childs name. Their mother has a gift for writing, according to Bolton and composes the childrens tunes at her piano.
We spend a lot of time on the phone and e-mailing, Sprague said.
The family teamed up with music arranger/producer Mark Pence, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to produce the songs. Pence also enlisted the help of various singers to lend their vocals to the songs. Sprague and Bolton then edit the personalized childrens names into the songs before shipping them to the customers homes.
We wanted to make music that the kids would like and the parents would enjoy too, Sprague said. Its a very good mix of music.
Last fall, Bolton and Sprague entered Melodies About Me in a small business contest. Intuit, maker of Quicken, Turbo Tax and QuickBooks small business accounting software, received more than 1,500 entries nationwide in the Just Start contest and Melodies About Me was selected as one of the top five contestants.
Landing in this contest has really pointed us in the right direction, Bolton said.
People can vote for one of the top five contestants online at www.IWillJustStart.com. The business with the most votes will receive $50,000 in cash and prizes.
Its like a dream, Sprague said. I cant believe were doing this.
The sisters said the $50,000 in cash and prizes would greatly help their business get off the ground and begin production on a second CD.
Were doing it (Melodies About Me) with or without the winnings, Bolton said.
Melodies About Me is currently working on personalizing their first CD. People can pre-order CDs at their Web site, www.melodiesaboutme.com. CDs will be available March 1. Sprague and Boltons mother said the business would not be the same without the family involvement.
Were like legs on a table, we cant stand without one another, Sprague said, quoting her mother.
The sisters said they are about 1,000 votes behind the winning business and currently are sitting in third place. People can vote for Melodies About Me until Jan. 31. The winning team will be announced Feb. 8.
Were just two local, ordinary moms who had a dream and decided to just go for it, Sprague said. We just want people to support us.
Vote for Melodies About Me in the Just Start contest at www.IWillJustStart.com. Contest ends Jan. 31. The winning business receives $50,000 in cash and prizes to further their small business.
To pre-order a CD from Melodies About Me, visit their Web site at www.melodiesaboutme.com. CDs will be available March 1 and cost $18 plus shipping and handling.

2011 TCG National Conference: TCG At 50: What If...
From June 16–18 in Los Angeles, the 21st TCG National Conference will kick off a year–long celebration of TCG's 50th anniversary. This historic convening will provide the theatre community with a unique opportunity to explore what the field has achieved, the challenges we face in this moment, and where we hope theatre will be in 50 years. How might we paint a vision for the future of our field, and what will it take to turn that vision into reality?
TCG was founded in 1961. That year, John F. Kennedy became President of the United States. The Beatles performed for the first time. The Peace Corps was created. The Civil Rights movement was in full swing as the US Freedom Riders began interstate bus rides to test the integration decision by the Supreme Court. The Six Flags theme park was founded in Texas. Roger Maris beat Babe Ruth's record when he hit his 61st home run. West Side Story was released as a film. Barbie was introduced to her boyfriend, Ken. The Fantastic Four comic books were launched.
What links these events to each other? They're all examples of the imaginative impulse — embodied by the simple question, "What if...?" Some of the world's most significant developments and inventions were born out of that impulse. TCG itself was founded (and the burgeoning not-for-profit theatre movement given a boost) when the Ford Foundation and resident theatre pioneers asked themselves, "What if there were a strong network of theatres throughout the country, with a program to strengthen their work and help them learn from each other?" That question birthed an organization with the mission of strengthening, nurturing, and promoting the professional not–for–profit American theatre.
Enter TCG!
Throughout this year's Conference, we'll begin to chart the future of the theatre field by asking ourselves, "What if...?"
What if we imagined the theatre field of the next 50 years, and began making visible progress today? We'll pursue this train of thought through difficult scenarios, as well as more positive ones as we commit to improving the health of our theatres, the strength of our artistic expressions and the impact our work has on communities in our backyards and around the globe.
- What if theatre weren't seen as a luxury, but as central to the fabric of our country?
- What if artists and other theatre leaders talked regularly and openly about art and aesthetics?
- What if theatre institutions and their boards committed to hiring more people of color in leadership positions?
- What if a group of committed philanthropists created a "Giving Pledge" initiative for theatre?
- What if the US became more embedded in wars around the globe – what would become the role of theatre and artists?
- What if there were a new audience engagement model as powerful as the subscription model?
- What if theatres and artists could commit to each other for multiple years?
- What if we could solidify new business models that would truly lead to the sustainability of our theatres?
Join us in Los Angeles as we celebrate the past, imagine a new future...and have one heck of a birthday party! This is your best opportunity of the year to think about the big picture, to focus on the nuts and bolts of everyday operations, to attend boundary–pushing plays at TCG's pre–conference symposium and festival, RADAR L.A., and to connect and reconnect with your colleagues from around the country and throughout the world.

Summer Weather
This is one of the best times of the year to travel to Los Angeles as the days are long and the nights are relatively warm. In June days often begin foggy– locals call it "June Gloom". The fog often returns in the evening, which can make the air turn cold suddenly. These are also the worst months for smog; especially inland near the mountain ranges

It seems like the New England Patriots have been playing big games for several weeks now, though they'll never admit it.
New York Jets? Pittsburgh Steelers? Green Bay Packers?
None of those mattered. Each was just another game on another Sunday against another team.
But for the first time this season the Patriots are ready to admit – publicly, at least – that Sunday's game against the Bills in Buffalo has some significance.
"This is the first game where you know what [a win] will bring you," Patriots coach Bill Belichick said. "We know what this game would produce for us and, sure, [winning the AFC East] is one our goals. Now you can start talking about it. It's not hypothetical anymore."
New England can end all of those hypothetical discussions by beating the Bills tomorrow.
A win grants the Patriots their eighth division title under Bill Belichick and also clinches the No. 1 seed in the AFC, which comes packaged with a first-round bye and home-field throughout the playoffs.
If they lose, the Patriots can still clinch with a New York Jets loss.
If New York wins, then Week 17 becomes a do-or-die situation, a scenario the New England hope to avoid.
"We've all worked pretty hard to get to this point,'' quarterback Tom Brady said. "It does take a lot of good fortune to be able to control your own destiny like we do. I think we're in a very good position in terms of us being able to win this game and win our division and a few other things come along with it."
The Patriots know that locking up their first No. 1 seed since the 2007 season won't be easy.
Though they've won 14 straight against Buffalo, the Bills have transformed into a respectable unit by winning four of their last six and look at Sunday as an opportunity to make a statement about what their future holds.
"People talk about us being hot, but they're pretty good too," wide receiver Deion Branch said, "and this is their Super Bowl."
To prevent the Bills from celebrating their moral victory, the Patriots will need to find ways to slow Buffalo's various offensive weapons, namely receiver Steve Johnson, running back Fred Jackson and quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, all of whom have been extremely effective this season.
Johnson has emerged as Fitzpatrick's go-to target at wide receiver and is on the verge of emerging as a star in the league after making 72 catches for 943 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Fitzpatrick has been equally excellent since claiming the starting job for good in Week 3 against the Patriots.
He's completed 58.7 percent of his passes for 2,749 yards, 23 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, including a stellar performance against the Patriots where he went 20 of 28 for 247 yards.
Jackson has been his typical productive self, running 196 times for 811 yards and five touchdowns.
If New England can slow them, all members of the team should be going home with new shirts and hats.
And even though it's a day late, that's the only gift the Patriots are longing for this holiday season.
"There would be no better Christmas present this time of year than to go out and win this game," Brady said. "I'll tell you it's very exciting for us. This is a championship game."
But they also know that this is only where the road starts, not where it ends.
"We haven't really done anything other than, if we get this one done right, some home-field advantage," tackle Matt Light said. "But that's all good. You're impressed when you go to and win the Super Bowl. Other than that, it's a little bit of a letdown."

If he pleads guilty to a felony charge of tampering with physical evidence, he'll be sentenced to the mandatory minimum penalty of 1 1/2 to three years in state prison.
Or he can take his chances and stand trial on a companion charge of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance and face up to 12 years in prison if convicted.
Defense lawyer Tylyn Bozeman noted in court last week that the prosecution will have trouble proving what Johnson is accused of possessing was crack cocaine.
Because Johnson grabbed the substance and swallowed it at the scene of his arrest.
"You don't get a blue ribbon for that," County Judge Tony Aloi told Johnson. noting he was not going to reward the defendant for eating the evidence to keep it from being tested.
Hence the offer to settle the case with the evidence-tampering charge and the minimum sentence, the judge explained.
Aloi then pointed out it didn't matter if the substance Johnson swallowed was sugar, salt or crack cocaine for the proseuction to prove the evidence-tampering charge.
All the prosecution has to do is show it was evidence in the case, something Johnson apparently believed when he chose to swallow it to get rid of it, Aloi noted.
"You can win the battle and lose the war," the judge told Johnson in leaving the plea deal on the table for an additional week.

Paddle along little doggie
Barking, panting, dog-paddling and the smell of 75 wet pooches made up the atmosphere at the second annual Dog Swim at John Vanderzicht Memorial Pool Sunday.
Dogs from all around Oak Harbor and Coupeville came with their owners for a night of fun and swimming.
The Dog Swim takes place once a year, right before the emptying and cleaning of the pool.
This years Dog Swim went very smoothly. According to Craig Carlson, North Whidbey Park and Recreation director, there was a bigger turnout of people and dogs this year. At last years event, about 60 dogs showed up with their owners.
We all had a great time, Carlson said. There were no major incidents and all the dogs and people seemed to get along great together.
All breeds of dogs turned out for the event; from Chihuahuas to Labrador Retrievers and many breeds in between.
Jan Hill was busy watching her son Hunter swim with their German Rottweiler, Bandit. Bandit, who is four years-old, was decked out for the event with a red bandana around his neck as he paddled furiously in the water.
This was Bandits first time ever going swimming and he did great! Hill said.
We like to introduce him other dogs. Contrary to what some may think about Rottweilers, he has never hurt anyone and he likes to meet other people and dogs, Hill said.
Kids and adults alike seemed to like the idea of swimming with their furry friends. While some owners chose to sit and watch their dogs swim around the pool, many decided to jump right in and enjoy the fun too.
Alyssa Conwell and her little sister Ashley were seen swimming around the pool with their dogs, Anabelle and Sabrina, in tow.
I like the dog swim because we can bring our dogs and they can play somewhere where they normally wouldnt be allowed, Alyssa said.
At the end of the night, it appeared that the dog swim was a big hit, even to the point of exhaustion. Small dogs rested in the arms of their owners, while the larger ones simply flopped down on the floor next to the pool, wore out from their night of swimming and excitement.
Lifeguard Emily Weisinger stood with her co-workers, petting the dogs on their way out the door.
In all, this was great fun for the whole family, especially the dogs, Weisinger said.

Perfect Strategy: Middlebury Solves Colby
by Jac Coyne | Lacrosse Magazine Online Staff
|Chase Delano (above) scored four of her six goals in
the first half, helping Middlebury build an insurmoutable, 7-2 lead
over Colby. It took three times, but the Panthers finally managed
to figure out the White Mules, and now they get a shot at
Hamilton, the defending national champions.

You can only beat your head against a wall so many times.
That was how Missy Foote and her Middlebury staff decided to approach their third attempt at defeating Colby, the two-time NESCAC champion and No. 3 team in the country.
Having lost to the White Mules, 10-9 in overtime during the regular season and again, 17-12 last weekend in the conference semifinals, Foote wasn't about to roll the dice again with her usual game plan when the two teams met in a regional semifinal at Waterville, Maine.
In her 28 years as a lacrosse coach, Foote has managed to pick up some knowledge along the way.
"Bad coaching is doing the same thing over and over again," said Foote after finding out she'd be facing Hamilton in Sunday's regional final. "We lost to them twice, so you can't think you're going to do the same thing and win. It was a no-brainer."
By reining in both the Panther's usual attack-minded offense and defense, Foote guided Middlebury to a stunning, 9-3 victory over Colby on Saturday morning.
Taming the high octane White Mule offense, which averaged nearly 15 goals per game, involved substituting the typical ball-hawking Panther defensive philosophy with one focused on defending the eight-meter.
In addition, Middlebury avoided the temptation of marking Kate Sheridan - perhaps the most complete player in women's Division III - out of the game.
"We didn't focus on Sheridan because we knew they had too many potent attackers. We couldn't focus on one of them, because as soon as we took Sheridan out of the game, it would be somebody else," said Foote. "We sort of tweaked the defense and protected the eight-meter a little bit because we knew they like to feed. And that really, really worked well."
Normally operating with plenty of space down low, Colby was taken off guard, managing goals by Becky Julian and Heather Nickerson - the sixth and third-leading scorers on the White Mule team, respectively - in the first half.
Meanwhile, the typically bloodthirsty Middlebury offense also put the brakes on, burning up plenty of clock while waiting for Colby to take the bait.
"Our other strategy was to only take shots that were pretty high-percentage shots," said Foote. "More than pretty; very high-percentage shots."
Unfamiliar with this new brand of Middlebury stall ball, Colby became flustered, opening vast amounts of space for Chase Delano, who scored four of her six goals in the first half. With the game tied at 2-2 with 21:11 in the opening stanza, Middlebury rattled off five straight markers to take a 7-2 lead into the break.
The tone had been set and the only plausible salvation for Colby in the second half was for the Panthers to get jittery and abandon Foote's ingenuity.
They didn't.
Using up huge chunks of time just clearing the ball and utilizing deft ball-handling on the offensive end by Delano, Sally Ryan and Dana Heritage, Middlebury blunted a ferocious White Mule pressure defense.
"They came out second half hard at us, and that's great in some ways, because it opens up the middle," said Foote. "We only went to goal when we were sure. We'd make an attempt and then come back out."
The plan worked brilliantly, as Colby was held to just one goal in the second half - and Sheridan, who entered the game with 85 points, was shutout - on the way to the 9-3 triumph.
Now awaiting Middlebury is defending champion Hamilton, 8-7 winners over Williams in the other regional semifinal.
Foote was impressed with how the Continentals planned for their contest.
"They've got good strategy," she said. "In fact, the game they played today against Williams was very much like the game we played against Colby, so it will be a battle of wits tomorrow."
Just the way Middlebury likes it.

Service is Second Nature for RESPy Winner
Jennifer Barrio, Managing Editor
Published Online:
Thursday, January 13, 2011
In addition to her studies at South Carolina College of Pharmacy, Erin Elizabeth Boles has given over 900 hours to her community.
Erin Elizabeth Boles
South Carolina College of Pharmacy (SCCP) student Erin Elizabeth Boles, the January Walmart/
Pharmacy Times
RESPy Award winner, has logged over 900 hours of community service, spending much of her time helping patients with diabetes, underprivileged populations, and children. A member of the class of 2011, Boles is an inspiration to her fellow students and a prime example of the ways that pharmacy expertise can change people's lives.
Boles was nominated for the RESPy Award by Cathy Worrall, PharmD, BCPS, BCNSP, FAPhA, assistant dean for Student Affairs and Experiential Education and professor of Clinical Pharmacy and Outcomes Sciences at SCCP. Dr. Worrall explains that in addition to Boles' involvement in pharmacy organizations, she gives freely of her time in ways that have both benefited members of the community and enriched the educational experiences of her classmates.
"[Boles] was the first pharmacy student to serve on the Crisis Ministries Wednesday Night Clinic Board," Dr. Worrell says. "She was instrumental in increasing the number of pharmacy student volunteers at the clinic and in obtaining more hands-on experience for pharmacy student volunteers. Pharmacy students are now an integral part of the interdisciplinary team at the clinic, participating in patient interviews, treatment plan development, and counseling."
In addition to her work at the Crisis Ministries Clinic, Boles has been actively involved in many special projects, preparing and serving dinners to out-of-town cancer patients and their families, serving as a counselor at a camp for children with diabetes, and filling prescriptions and counseling patients at the Harvest Free Medical Clinic.
It is no wonder that the RESPy Award is not Boles' first recognition of her accomplishments. She was inducted into the Phi Lambda Sigma society in her second year and was named the Medical University of South Carolina Gives Back Volunteer of the Year Award in 2010.
In her interview with
Pharmacy Times
, Boles made it clear that she learns to become a better pharmacist by listening to her patients and their needs and that she plans to continue her commitment to community service even after she earns her PharmD.
Was there a specific moment when you knew pharmacy was right for you?
During my first semester, I had 2 professors who practiced in the field of pediatrics. Up until that point, I didn't realize all the options available to pharmacists. After one of their classes, I asked if I could go with them one day and see what their jobs entail. They took me to the pediatric intensive care unit and the neonatal intensive care unit. I was amazed at the pharmacist's role in the hospital. After leaving school that day, I realized that pediatric pharmacy is what I was meant to do as a career.
What do you think is the most important issue in the field of pharmacy today?
The cost of health care. I see on a daily basis people having to choose between the cost of their medications and buying food for their family. While working at Hollings Cancer Center, I saw many families struggle to pay their medical bills. There were many times when an insurance company would deny coverage for a medication. This left the patient with 2 options: pay full price for the expensive medication or not get the medication at all. It was heartbreaking to see cancer patients have to make that choice. Because of this, I would work very closely with the social worker to provide families with either free medication programs or enroll them in a program to help pay for the medication costs.
What are your long-term professional goals?
After graduation I want to complete a residency and specialize in the field of pediatrics. I really enjoy the topics of nutrition and pediatric oncology, so I am pursuing a residency that will be able to provide both areas of practice. In the long run, I would like to practice as a clinic specialist in a children's hospital and also be a faculty member at a college of pharmacy. I also plan to stay very involved in community service, as it is something that is very important to me.
Is there a specific patient or person you've worked with who taught you something that will help you be a better pharmacist?
I believe every patient and person I have worked with has taught me something different about being a better pharmacist. Even the difficult patients will teach you to become a more patient pharmacist. I believe you can use every encounter to learn how to be a better pharmacist. PT

If there ever were an example of how one man can make a difference, that man is Dr. Fred Schwarz. An Australian, he came to the United States in the mid-1950s and spent 50 years in our country teaching Americans to understand Communism. His knowledge of the theory, strategy, tactics, objectives, and successes of Communism was profound and total. Dr. Schwarz was a compelling orator who could hold the attention of crowds of many thousands, and also a debater who could never be tripped up on the subject of his expertise. To many, he is best known for his five-day "schools," which he started in 1958, to teach about Communism in depth to willing listeners.
The essence of Dr. Schwarz's message was published in his 1960 book, You Can Trust the Communists ... To Be Communists. When he completed his 50-year mission in the United States and returned to Australia, he bequeathed his organization, the Christian Anti-Communism Crusade, and its publications to a worthy successor, David Noebel of Summit Ministries. David Noebel has just re-published Dr. Schwarz's book under the title You Can Still Trust the Communists...To Be Communists, adding several chapters of his own to update us on the continued Communist assault on capitalism and Christianity and add a useful bibliography. Communism did not die when the Soviet Empire collapsed. It still exists in Cuba, Venezuela, China, and, unfortunately, on the campuses of many U.S. colleges and universities.
This book is an excellent primer for anyone who seeks to know how Communists are recruited and molded to become agents for an un-American ideology. It describes Communist techniques for seizing power and setting up fronts and captive organizations. This book would be an excellent vaccine to give to any young person heading off to college.

How difficult would it be to install 57 mods for Minecraft using ModLoader MP? Is it harder to do for multi-player? Can it be made easier using a mod manager? If you want more details or the mod list, contact me.
Well, n my minecraft i got over 67 mods and when i tried installing shelf mod it wouldn't work... is it cause there is to many mods running at once?
You can install as MANY mods as you want for minecraft, but beware of lag spikes and lag attacks. It might make your system perform poorly installing 57 mods if you don't have a good computer. So think before you download mods because in the next updates you will have to uninstall, and reinstall mods all over again each minecraft update, unless all the mods you downloaded are from installers. To make modding less of a hassle, go to...
Just install the installer and it will do all the work for you, unless you downloaded the installer wrong, which in case no one can do because it is incredibly easy.

Quick observations from the New Orleans Pelicans 110-107 loss Saturday night against the Dallas Mavericks.
1. Nice bounceback
After a miserable effort Friday night in a 107-90 loss to Dallas. In an unusual
scheduling quirk, the two teams met again on Saturday night and this time the
Pelicans had much more fight.
Down 11 at one point in the game, New Orleans
made it a game in fourth quarter after a third period in which Dallas outscored
the Pelicans 42-40.
But the Mavs took advantage of a sloppy fourth-quarter stretch by the Pelicans and went on a 9-0 run to seize control of the game before holding off one final New Orleans push.
2. That Dirk guy
Perhaps the young Pelicans were unaware of the MVP credentials of Dallas power forward Dirk Nowitzki.
Or perhaps they were in awe of his still deadly jump shot. Nonetheless, Nowitzki again had a big night for the Mavs, scoring 40 points.
He had 20 of the Mavs' 42 third-quarter points and went to the free throw line 15 times, making 15. In Friday's Dallas' win, Nowitzki finished with 24 points and did not attempt a free throw.
Dallas was 39 of 45 from the free-throw line Saturday night.
3. Future glimpse
The Pelicans' possible small forward of the future had a nice night against the
Mavs. Second-year forward Darius Miller was 4 of 5 from beyond the 3-point line
on the night and hit a couple of big shots in the fourth quarter of Saturday's
shootout, including one with four seconds left that pulled the Pelicans within one, 108-107.
Miller had a nice Summer League for the Pelicans in Las Vegas, but then sustained a stress fracture in his foot that needed to be surgically repaired, causing him to miss the beginning of the season.
Injuries will
necessitate Miller being on the floor more now for New Orleans and he performed well against
the Mavs, finishing with 12 points.

Troops ask how repeal of gay ban will affect them
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Came across a great quote which is very relevant
"When I was in the military, they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one."
—Tombstone of Leonard Matlovich (1943–1988)
Again fair enough lift the ban, maybe create a gay infantry unless we can change the attitude of servicemen and women and I have to laugh, in between two wars? The Yanks started both!
chutney – the yanks didn't start the wars. an islamic saudi prince called osama, and his army of middle eastern muslims started the last two wars.
and to suggest a gay only infantry is like suggesting a black only infantry, a jewish only infantry…..its homophobic.
gay people should be allowed to serve alongside any other citizen of the USA and should have the same rights as any other citizen. fullstop.
First off… I was being tongue in cheek sarcastic with the reference to a seperate infantry and secondly what in the name of hell has shooting Reuters journalists, raping the locals, bombing a wedding, arresting innocent locals and handing big contracts to American companies got to do with Osama and his mates carrying out 9/11. If as you are suggesting that the only way to find one man is to carpet bomb a couple of mountains and decimate lots of sheep in the search for Osama then the action is completley disproportinate. Its like using a nuclear weapon to kill a fly….end of rant.
PS I agree they should be able to serve openly in the military alongside their colleagues
to re-iterate the 3 points of significance:
1) US soldiers (etc) know they serve with gays (and often know who)
2) US soldiers regularly serve with out gay military in NATO theatres
3) Being known to be gay doesn't lead to discharge if they need you enough. They will however discard you afterwards (if you survive)
THREE issues were hypocrisy seems to win out…
They already do sleep, eat, wash, change, work, fight and die alongside homosexual soldiers. They need to get that into their bigoted heads. Maybe they are just scared they will be tempted to try the fruit from the other tree! If so the should come out of the closet already.
@ No2:
Last time I checked, Osama wasn't a sovereign country. So technically speaking, the US did start the war with the invasion of the two countries.
And why is all this talk necessary? Aren't they in a bit of a hurry because of the elections? Or can Obama repeal this ban himself with some sort of an executive order? Can someone clarify this for me?
I am immediately volunteering to demonstrate to 350 soldiers how a lifting of the gay ban could affect them.
I'll even bring my own lube…
The Grinch – if sites like activeduty.com are anything to go by they're already more than up to speed.
When I was on HMS Illustrious in 2000, I was "invited" to a Leading Hands meeting in the wardroom to discuss the Royal Navy's decision to allow gay sailors to remain in the service. It was hosted by the the supply officer, a solicitor.
The men, a you might imagine, were full of jokes and surprisingly good natured about it all. The women though, were vicious and condemnatory, which surprised me no end, for multiple reasons which I won't go into.
The problem seemed to focus on the availability of men for the serving women… you figure it all out.
I also served alongside a steward with about 20 years service. He came out as gay to the supply officer in 1993. He disappeared from the ship that night, and was out of the service in two days.
It ruins lives, the US military should get its act together and understand it is living in the 21st century now, and gay soldiers, sailors and airmen (yes, yes, and women) are just as talented and driven, brave and professional as their breeding counterparts.
Sorry, this is rather at a tangent – but Jay (#2), are you for real? What exactly did Osama (never a prince, by the way) have to do with the 2003 invasion of Iraq? Do you think all Arabs are one and the same or something?
@Jennifer Interesting story…did you ever find out what happened to him?
The way it used to happen when I was in the RAF is CIB turn up go through all the squadrons personal stuff looking for evidence of homosexuality.
A guy in my flight got kicked out for having a pair of tights that he used in the cold weather. He got a good beasting then kicked out for being a transvestite. he was not of course he just felt the cold weather more than most of us thats all.
I am sure CIB miss those days the B@*#@*ds

BATON ROUGE -- Property and casualty insurance policyholders in the state have left almost $270 million in rebates unclaimed from assessments used to help pay off bonds issued by the state-run insurer of last resort, Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon said Wednesday. The assessments since 2007, Donelon said, total $465.8 million, with $268.5 million of that -- 59 percent -- eligible for rebate.
The state imposed the assessments after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005 to finance $1 billion in bonds to help the Louisiana Citizens Property Insurance Co. pay claims and remain solvent. The assessment is imposed on all property insurance policies, whether in the Citizens pool or in the private market.
The Legislature enacted laws allowing commercial and residential policyholders hit with the assessments to recoup them on their annual state income tax forms or by filing a claim with the Department of Revenue.
Donelon said that the 2007 assessment rebates expire Dec. 31 and cannot be recovered after that date. As of Nov. 1, about $11 million of the $70.16 million collected in assessments had not been rebated.
Donelon said the unclaimed 2007 money will flow into the state general fund for state spending as of Jan. 1.
"It is so frustrating," Donelon said of efforts to get people to file for the rebates.
"The good news is the year that is about to proscribe is the smallest" annual total still owed, Donelon said. The unclaimed amounts in subsequent years, he said, range from $53.5 million to $84.47 million.
When the 2006 assessment rebate program expired at the end of last year, policyholders left $132.9 million unclaimed out of the $193.4 million that could have been rebated.
The program gives policyholders a four-year window to reclaim the assessment before it is permanently lost, Donelon said.
Officials said that policyholders who want quicker rebates can file proof of payment with the specific forms as soon as the premiums and assessments are paid.
Program officials said multiple years of assessment rebates can be claimed in one mailing, but policyholders have to get individual forms for each year and proof of the annual payments of assessments.
The proof of payments is on the policy's declaration page, which shows the premium paid and the assessment.
Only the assessment is rebated, Donelon said.
"Claiming the rebate is simple," Donelon said. "Just fill out the Louisiana Department of Revenue tax form. ... The whole process doesn't take more than 10 minutes."
Donelon spokeswoman Lori Cherry said the forms for the rebates are available on the insurance department's website at www.ldi.la.gov by clicking on the newsreel link "Louisiana Citizens Insurance Tax Credit" or going to the Department of Revenue's site at www.rev.state.la.us/sections/general/calac/default.aspx.
Residential assessment rebate claims must be made on Form R-540INS and commercial property owners must use R-620INS, she said.
Cherry said that forms and more information about the rebate program is available by calling the insurance department's toll-free phone number, 1.800.259.5300. Completed applications for the rebate must be mailed to the revenue department at Post Office Box 3576, Baton Rouge, LA 70821-3756, she said.

Bigtop and other bands at Mirkwood for Free Speech benefit
An employee of the city of Arlington, Brian Fritts and his band are joining several other bands in a benefit for a new First Amendment Scholarship.
Live music will be offered starting at 7 p.m., Saturday, April 19, by three bands, Bigtop, The All-American Playboys and Sevrage at the Mirkwood & Shire Cafe, 117 Division St. at the north end of Olympic Avenue.
"The relevancy of this issue was raised by the 'heavy handed' treatment of Kay Powers, a Cascade High School teacher of English, journalism, and creative writing for 22 years," Fritts explained.
"Also, embroiled in this controversy is the Naperville School District in Illinois," Fritts added.
The first two scholarships will be awarded this year, in June, to two graduating Cascade High School seniors with plans to expand it next year to the entire Everett School District. In 2010 it will be open to all students in Snohomish County, in 2011 to all students in the state of Washington, and finally, in 2012, across the nation.
Students interested in applying for the scholarship must show involvement in community activities that showcase efforts to advocate for the First Amendment rights of others; must show the ability to write a compelling essay addressing the importance of the First Amendment in the 21st century; and must be making plans that exemplify how their education and career endeavors will uphold the First Amendment.
All ages are welcome. Come early for raffle prizes.

Irony of health care legislation lawsuits

A divisive order of the new health care law is its mandate for individuals to buy insurance.
Many liberals object because they see it as a gift to the overpriced private insurance market, with no public option to provide competition. Many conservatives see it as a power grab by the federal government.
For the most part, liberals are swallowing their medicine.
Conservatives are striking back with lawsuits.
So far, 15 states have announced lawsuits claiming that a mandate to buy insurance violates legal restraints on the federal government. The feds, they argue, are overreaching by subjecting citizens to a fine if they do not comply with a mandate to buy a good or service.
Troubling as the mandate may be, there is a dangerous philosophical problem at the core of the lawsuits.
The logic of the lawsuits is that citizens have a right to shun health insurance. Not to shun health care necessarily, but health insurance.
On the flip side, does that mean insured citizens have a right to demand that care be denied to the uninsured at institutions the insured citizens support?
In the end, whose position is more pernicious: Those who would try to gamble by shunning insurance, often at the expense of the insured, or those who would suggest that the gamblers pay with their lives?
Of course, it's no contest. The uninsured deserve life-saving care as much as the insured.
It's hard, however, to dodge the irony. Wasn't that the driving premise for health care reform in the first place?
I stumbled across a comment from a health care legislation protester who bragged that he should have the right to "die like a dog in the street" if he should so choose.
Brave words, but puzzling.

Louisville, Ky. — Trainer Graham Motion on Tuesday declared Wood Memorial winner Toby's Corner out of the Kentucky Derby because of a injury to his left hind leg.
The problem surfaced Monday morning when Toby's Corner was favoring that leg when walking. He had worked six furlongs the previous morning at the Fair Hill Training Center in Maryland, from where he had been scheduled to ship to Churchill Downs on Tuesday. The nature of the injury has yet to be determined.
His withdrawal gives Lexington Stakes winner Derby Kitten a chance to move into the Derby field. He stands 20th on the list of possible Derby horses ranked according to graded-stakes earnings. If more than 20 horses are entered today, graded earnings will be used to trim the field to 20, the maximum allowed.
DERBY DEBUT: Veteran Louisiana jockey Kerwin Clark, who has been based at the Fair Grounds for the several seasons and rides in the spring and summer at Evangeline Downs, will make his Kentucky Derby debut Saturday on Decisive Moment.
Clark, a 52-year-old Lafayette native, lives in St. Bernard.
"I had horses that were on the Derby trail, didn't make it very far, got hurt or something happened,'' Clark said. "By far, this is the most exciting thing to happen to me.''
He said that several family members will travel to Louisville for the race.
Decisive Moment, who hasn't won a graded race, will be a longshot.
"You never know; you never know,'' Clark said. "You can't win it if you're not in it.''
Clark's agent, Tony Martin, is the father of Anthony Martin, the agent for Shaun Bridgmohan, who'll be riding Santiva in the Derby.
Tony Martin will travel from Louisiana with his family. Anthony Martin already is in Kentucky, where Bridgmohan is based.
"I don't know if it's ever been done, but it worked out this time,'' Tony Martin said of father-son agents with Derby riders.
WHAT WORKOUT?: Trainer Jinks Fires was surprised to see that clockers had recorded Archarcharch's gallop Tuesday morning with stablemate Supreme Ruler as a half-mile workout.
The pair was timed in 52 seconds on the sloppy track. Jockey Jon Court, who will ride Archarcharch in the Derby and often gallops him in the mornings, was aboard.
"He wasn't working,'' Fires said of Archarcharch. "It was a competitive gallop, just to make him aggressive and get him to compete. I've trained that horse a lot that way.''
LONG TRIP: Master of Hounds arrived as expected after being flown from Ireland.
If he clears quarantine with no problems, he'll be able to train on the track Thursday and Friday.
OAKS FAVORITE: Joyful Victory, who won the Fantasy Stakes by seven lengths, is the 5-2 morning-line favorite in a field of 13 3-year-old fillies entered Tuesday for the Kentucky Oaks on Friday.
Kathmanblu, who won the Rachel Alexandra at the Fair Grounds, is co-second choice with Zazu at 4-1.
Churchill Downs line-maker Mike Battaglia set the early odds on Fair Grounds Oaks winner Daisy Devine at 20-1 and rated Fair Grounds Oaks runner-up St. John's River at 30-1.
Bouquet Booth, who won the Silverbulletday at the Fair Grounds, is at 20-1. Street Storm, who won the Mardi Gras at the Fair Grounds, and Suave Voir Faire, who ran twice at the Fair Grounds last season, are at 50-1.

AAPL seems to be consolidating in a very tight range and is due for a breakout. Implied volatility is also quite low around 27%, so let's look at a couple of trade ideas on how to play an AAPL breakout and subsequent rise in implied volatility. These are not trade recommendations and are just provided for educational purposes only.
The first trade is a long strangle set up by buying and out-of-the-money call and an out-of-the-money put. When buying options you want to be at least 3-6 months out in time in order to reduce the effects of time decay.
Buy 1 October $625 call @ $23.00
Buy 1 October $525 put @ $26.00
Total Debit: $4,900
Delta: 8.67
Gamma: 0.64
Theta: -31.77
Vega: 244.67
If you wanted to neutralize the delta of +8.67 you would sell short 9 shares of AAPL.
The idea with this trade would be to sell it after 1-2 months (or earlier if we get a big move). You would not want to hold this to expiry, as you can see that AAPL would need to make a pretty big move in order to reach the breakeven points. Ideally with this trade you would want to see a big move and subsequent rise in implied volatility as soon as possible. Based on the AAPL chart, that could be a distinct possibility. A drop in implied volatility would hurt this trade.
The other idea is a double calendar spread set up as follows:
Buy 1 August $590 Call @ $22.80
Sell 1 July $590 Call @ $11.95
Buy 1 August $560 Put @ $25.60
Sell 1 July $560 Put @ $14.20
Total Debit: $2,225
Delta: 2.18
Gamma: -0.54
Theta: 3.76
Vega: 50.13
With this trade, you're hoping for a rise in implied volatility, but what you don't want is a huge move in the stock. One difference between this trade and the long strangle is that time decay works in your favor with this trade. Like the long strangle, a drop in volatility will also hurt this trade.
I'll update this post in a few weeks to see how the trades are working out.
What do you think of these two trade ideas? Is it something you would consider trying?
