Personal use fuelwood permits for the Payette and Boise National Forests will go on sale beginning Sunday, May 15. Check with forest vendors for Sunday hours.
On the Sawtooth National Forest, the Minidoka Ranger District and Fairfield Ranger District issue permits beginning Sunday, May 15, but permits for the Ketchum Ranger District and Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA), will be delayed until Tuesday, May 31 due to melting snowpack. Call the SNRA at 208-727-5013 or Ketchum Ranger District at 208-622-0090 to check snowmelt and road conditions in these areas.
Permits are $12.50 per cord with a 2-cord minimum and a 10-cord maximum per household. Permits will be available at USDA Forest Service Ranger District offices, the Interagency Visitor Information Center at 1387 South Vinnell Way, Boise, Idaho and private vendors in Southwest Idaho, (see attached list).
The Payette National Forest has four free-use areas, which are located in the Hazard Lake, Kinney Point, Secesh Meadows/Warren and Big Creek areas. A free-use permit is required for these areas and can be obtained at the associated Payette Ranger District office along with specific location information and permit use requirements. Free-use fuelwood counts toward the 10-cord maximum per household.
The Boise National Forest has closures in the Hulls Gulch and Rocky Canyon areas of the Mountain Home Ranger District.
"Please check this year's fuelwood brochure and current Motor Vehicle Use Maps to make sure you are cutting in an area open to fuelwood gathering. Also, pay special attention to areas with restoration activities, roads may be signed," said Boise National Forest Fuelwood Coordinator Audrey Karpe. "Remember all Forests have regulations in place regarding not cutting neither dead nor living whitebark pine trees which are declining and are of critical importance to several wildlife species."
Each Forest fuelwood permit is valid for use on any of the three Forests. All motorized travel related to fuelwood gathering must be in full accordance with Forest Service travel regulations for the area as shown in the Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM), unless specifically exempted in the fuelwood permit.
Once the snow melts, the public is encouraged to cut fuelwood early in the year because fire restrictions may impact the cutting season later in the summer. However, early season fuelwood cutters should be very careful with wet road conditions and avoid them if rutting or getting stuck is a potential. Fuelwood cutting is not allowed within riparian areas (adjacent to creeks and rivers).
Regulations for each forest are available when permits are issued. For additional information, contact the local Ranger District offices, or Forest websites.
There is a 2 cord minimum purchase for the personal use firewood permits. The minimum permit is $25.00 ($12.50 per cord). You can buy up to 10 cords per family per year at $12.50 per cord.
With your firewood permit purchase, you will receive the permit, load tickets (in 1/4 cord increments), and a Boise or Payette National Forest firewood map to help you locate firewood wood in an appropriate area. You must have a permit, tags and Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) of the area you will be cutting in.
The person gathering the fuelwood must be present to purchase and sign for the permit, tags and fuelwood brochure.
Also, obtain a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) for the area where you plan to harvest the wood and comply with MVUM regulations.
The Personal Use Firewood Permit is for your own personal use.

One cord of firewood measures 4ft. X 4ft. X 8ft. which equals 128 cubic feet and weighs approximately 2662 lbs. The average half-ton pickup can carry 1/2 cord of dry wood without overloading the vehicle. Remember to validate your firewood with load tickets before you leave the area where you cut.
Not all lands on the National Forest are open to firewood cutting. Please consult the firewood map to be sure you are in an area where cutting is permitted. In some areas on the Forest, only downed logs are available. Remember that not all land within the Forest is publicly owned. It is your responsibility to be certain you are not trespassing on private land. The permit is for Boise, Payette and Sawtooth National Forest lands only, not State, BLM, or private lands.
For information about wood gathering on State or Private lands please contact the Southern Idaho Timber Protective Association (SITPA) in McCall 208-634-2268 or State of Idaho Dept. of Lands (Boise) 208-334-3488.
For information about wood gathering on State or Private lands please contact the Southern Idaho Timber Protective Association (SITPA) in McCall 208-634-2268 or State of Idaho Dept. of Lands (Boise) 208-334-3488.
The firewood map does not have road openings, closures or restrictions posted on it. The firewood map should be used in conjunction with the Forest Map which is sold at Ranger Stations and the Interagency Visitor Center in Boise.
If you need help finding firewood ask for help at the nearest Ranger District Office. They may have areas where they want to remove small diameter trees.
Riparian areas include the trees and other plants that grow along streams, rivers, and lakes. These areas are important to the forest. The plants hold soil in place, absorb excess water, provide shade and shelter, and filter runoff.
Riparian Conservation Areas (RCAs) are zones that protect riparian areas. They include the land 300 feet along both side of streams, rivers, lakes, and wet areas. The firewood permit prohibits firewood cutting, vehicle and trailer parking, slash piling and travel within RCAs.
To protect valuable riparian areas, please observe the following restrictions for firewood harvesting in riparian areas:
NO fuelwood cutting is allowed within 300 ft. on either side of perennial streams. (Perennial streams flow year-round.) Perennial streams are shown on the map that comes with your fuelwood permit.
NO fuelwood cutting is allowed within 100 ft. of either side of intermittent streams. (These are streams that do not have water in them all year. At times they may look like dry stream beds.) Intermittent streams are not shown on the permit map.
NO fuelwood cutting is allowed within 300 ft. on either side of perennial streams. (Perennial streams flow year-round.) Perennial streams are shown on the map that comes with your fuelwood permit.
NO fuelwood cutting is allowed within 100 ft. of either side of intermittent streams. (These are streams that do not have water in them all year. At times they may look like dry stream beds.) Intermittent streams are not shown on the permit map.
Allowed exceptions fo the RCA buffer zones: When a road runs parallel to the stream and the stream is on the downhill side of the road, fuelwood on uphill side of the road may be removed if the fuelwood is not in the RCA of another stream on the uphill side of the road. (See fuelwood brochure page 19 for drawing of this situation.)
NO fuelwood cutting within 300 feet of these road edges or shoulders as they are visual protection zones:
1) 300 ft. either side of State Hwy 21 from Grimes Creek northeast to Banner Summit,
2) 300 ft. either side of State Hwy 55 within the Forest boundary,
3) 300 ft. either side of Warm Lake Hwy (NF Hwy 22) from the Forest boundary to Landmark.
1) 300 ft. either side of State Hwy 21 from Grimes Creek northeast to Banner Summit,
2) 300 ft. either side of State Hwy 55 within the Forest boundary,

2) On the stream side of Lick Creek Road.
1) 150 ft.either side of the Warren Wagon Road from the Forest boundary to Secesh Summit,
2) On the stream side of Lick Creek Road.
DO NOT cut dead or live whitebark pine trees. MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHITEBARK PINE TREES.
DO NOT cut live Larch (Tamarack) trees. These trees lose their needles each fall. Before cutting what appears to be a dead larch, look on the ground to see if needles have recently fallen or check just inside the bark to see if the tree is still alive. If the bark is tight, the tree is probably alive.
DO NOT cut Wildlife Trees. Standing, dead trees (snags) play a role in supporting wildlife populations in the forest. They are a source of food, nests, perches, and protective cover for many birds and mammals. Removal of snags for firewood purposes must, therefore, be carefully managed.
DO NOT cut trees that have a sign on that says "Do Not Cut for Firewood". Typically these are found in active timber sale areas. Trees with paint on them are included in timber sales. A tree that has recently died may still be salvageable and sold. Do NOT cut trees that are painted or bear this sign. Log decks are usually located along roads in an active timber sale area. These logs have been skidded and decked for hauling by the timber sale purchaser, and are not available for public use. Do not cut these log decks for firewood.
Remember Slash Disposal is an integral part of this process. DO NOT leave slash in road ditches.
It is your responsibility to abide by the rules and regulations of this program and failure to do so will result in a violation of the permit. You may be subject to fines, penalties and further prosecution.
Things to Remember:
Cut firewood cleanly and safely. Wear personal protective equipment.
Remember your fire prevention tools: an 8 ounce minimum capacity fire extinguisher and a size "0" or larger shovel. Help prevent forest fires.
Make sure your chain saw is legal to operate. See Idaho's rules and regulation pertaining to fire protection.

…ly discredit any trickle-down theory of economics. This is problematic because income growth among the lower and middle classes creates a culture of spending that stimulates the economy. Workers outside of the upper classes generally spend a relatively high share of their income. When they spend their money on goods and services, the businesses they buy from profit. A strong middle class leads to more demand, which in turn leads to the expansion…Read more ›

This print started out as a baseball card more than twenty years ago. Every aspect of it is designed to preserve the original look and feel of the card, from the printing pattern to the slightly worn edges. In fact, this print started by finding the actual card in our vault and then painstakingly re-mastering it with a team of designers. The authenticity extends to manufacturing; each print is made on high-quality, cotton fine art paper that measures 1/64 inches in thickness. Framed prints feature 2-inch flat wood or metallic frames with high-end, glare-resistant glass. And all prints are officially licensed by MLB and the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
STORYMike Ramsey pretty much played all over the diamond for the Cardinals as a super utilityman. In 1983, Ramsey hit a career-high .263 and had the second and final home run of his career, coming Sept. 10 at Wrigley Field off the Cubs' Chuck Rainey.

One of the best pastrami sandwiches I've had turned up at a place I could barely find.
For nearly 20 years, David Pearl operated David's Deli at East 12th Street and Superior Avenue. Though I'd heard good things, I never made it over, and when he sold the spot all I could do was shake my head in a "my bad" shrug.
Last month, Pearl quietly reopened in Cleveland's North Point Tower on Lakeside Avenue. When I ran into his business partner, Izzy Schachner (of StrEAT Mobile food truck) at the Spring Fabulous Food Show, he recommended a visit.
Not that North Point Tower is all that hard to locate, but lack of signage puts Pearl at a hide-and-seek disadvantage. Guards tossed a couple of thumbs in the general direction. I followed their cues and eventually found myself at David's Grill & Bar, just off of North Point's lower level atrium, which spills out onto an expansive patio and a glimpse of Lake Erie.
"People don't really know we're down here," says Pearl, glancing around his large dining room and a bar area. External signs aren't permitted, he explains, "so if a customer isn't a tenant of the building, he probably won't know I'm here."
That's a shame, if that succulent pastrami sandwich (the only dish I tried) is any indication. Lean, tender, juicy and fragrant, the plump slices were served on fresh, hand-cut rye. A variety of panini sandwiches, wraps, grilled items and ciabatta subs are available, as are breakfast and a full-service bar.
Next time you've got some time to wander downtown, try that pastrami. And if you're looking for a hideaway, this is it.

Consciously or not, we live by the reliable rhythms of the sun. Calendars are ingeniously tuned to it, so that it is always winter in December, always summer in June.
It was not always so. Keeping time by the moon is older, because it was easier. But over time, as our ancestors learned, that way invited chaos.
Consider Easter and its attendant New Orleans festival, Mardi Gras.
Easter is perhaps the last public remnant of the old lunar calendar, when time was marked by the phases of the moon.
That means Easter wanders spectacularly — in Western Christianity, from March 22 to April 25 — pulling with it Lent, with its 40 days of penitence, not counting Sundays.
That means Mardi Gras, New Orleans' signature final fling before Lent, can occur as early as Feb. 3 and as late as March 9.
Next week's celebration of Fat Tuesday will be the latest in the calendar year until 2038, when Mardi Gras is March 9.
The exact Easter calculation is surprisingly complex, but the general formula — not completely accurate, but good enough to impress friends — is this:
Easter usually falls on the Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox, which occurs March 20 or March 21, depending on the year. When that first full moon is on a Sunday, Easter falls on the following Sunday.
This year Easter is April 24, almost at the end of the range. In five years, it will be March 27, near the beginning.
It could be worse: Easter, like the Islamic lunar month of Ramadan, would migrate slowly through the entire year were it not loosely tethered to the vernal equinox, the solar event that marks the beginning of spring.
At bottom, of course, Easter is the Christian celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
According to biblical accounts, that occurred on the Sunday morning after Christ's execution in Jerusalem during the celebration of the Jewish Passover.
The day before Ash Wednesday.
40 days before Easter -- not counting Sundays, which are not counted by the church calender.
The first Sunday after the first full moon* after the Vernal Equinox.
It's always March 20 or 21, the first day of spring.*The Western Christian church does not use the astronomical full moon, but the so-called "paschal moon," which is the 14th day of a lunar month, determined from tables. It may differ from the date of the actual full moon by up to two days
So in Western Christianity, Easter usually, but not always, follows that Jewish celebration.
Meanwhile, Greek Orthodox and other Christians in Eastern Orthodoxy celebrate Easter on dates different than in the West.
That difference dates to Orthodox Christians' use of the ancient Julian calendar, different than the modern Gregorian calendar, with its 16th century reforms.
But that's another layer of complexity, and another story.

Legendary Boy Scout honored in Oak Harbor
A special Boy Scout Breakfast in Oak Harbor recently honored a living legend of scouting in this area and beyond.
John Allgire joined Boy Scouts in 1927 in Brawley, Calif. He stayed a member until 1930. His troop activities consisted of camping and fishing trips into Mexico. In 1933 Allgire joined the U.S. Navy and served on the China Station and in World War II and the Korean War. In 1953 he retired in Oak Harbor.
In 1956 he became the committee chairperson of Cub Pack 60 sponsored by the Clover Valley School. He remained in this position until he joined the committee of Boy Scout Troop 60 in 1959. He became the Scoutmaster of Troop 60 and 1962 and held that position until 1964.
In 1964 Allgire and Clarence Tennant formed Scout Troop 62. This was the first troop in Mount Baker Council for scouts with learning disabilities. Allgire was the Scoutmaster of Troop 62 from 1964 to 1968.
In 1968 he became the chairman of the Island District Committee, a position he held for 14 years. As district chair he served on the Executive Board of Mount Baker Council.
Allgire has remained a member of the Island District Committee since 1982. This represents, from 1956 until 2010, 54 years of continuous involvement with scouting.
He is the recipient of the Island District Award of Merit, the Silver Beaver and in 2008 the Island District Award for Lifetime Scouting Achievement. Allgire is an Order of the Arrow Brotherhood member and has served for years as a Wood Badge counselor.
In his 54 years John Allgire has been an important and integral member of Island District and Mount Baker Council. "His service, his achievements and his dedication make it only appropriate that we honor him today."

Deck the halls green with the King County EcoConsumer, Green Holidays program
Holiday waste reduction has never been easier, and King County's Green Holidays program is here to help. The program offers fun, festive new resources for the 2013 holiday season.
"When it comes to making the holidays greener, I believe that our region leads the nation in public awareness and actions," said Tom Watson, King County's EcoConsumer. "This new crop of ideas will help enhance our holiday celebrations."
Here are a few examples, from King County residents who are also experts on making the holidays greener, featured on the newly-revamped Green Holidays website, KCgreenholidays.com.
Green giving. Use your skills – if you're an accomplished photographer, for example, take pictures of families as a gift. Or give a digital copy of your favorite recipes, especially if the gift recipient has ever asked for your recipes. These tips are from local "waste-free" blogger April Luebbert. For more tips, see her interview on the Green Holidays website.
Green decorating. If you love them, why not keep using the same decorations you've used for 20 years? They have history! Spruce up your decorations by using branches from the yard. These tips are from Marilyn Lauderdale, local recycling business owner and avid green holiday decorator.
Green wrapping. Get creative using salvaged materials for wrapping, from a used plastic bottle to your kid's old artwork. Pull an old scarf out of the closet and turn it into fabric gift wrap. These tips are from green gift-wrapping blogger Charissa Pomrehn.
Green eating. To reduce food waste, plan your holiday meals around what you know your family and friends like to eat. A leftovers party the day after can also help cut down on food waste. Always try to use locally-grown, in-season ingredients, which these days means you have lots of choices. These tips are from PCC Natural Markets cooking instructor and green foodie Jackie Freeman.
For more fun, practical ideas, visit KCgreenholidays.com. King County EcoConsumer
Tom Watson (206-477-4481, email@example.com) is also available for interviews about conserving resources at the holidays and how to recycle post-holiday waste.

I am fortunate. My life has never been touched by gun violence. As a citizen, it saddens me that so many others too frequently face the damage inflicted by such violence.
President Obama did not run on this issue. It was demanded of him by concerned citizens. In the wake of the Newtown shootings, he has signed executive orders to: 1) strengthen the background check system, 2) study the best ways to reduce gun violence, 3) develop emergency plans with schools, including those who wish to hire more protection officers, and 4) work with mental health professionals to know their options on reporting threats of violence.
None of these orders infringe on a citizen's right to own a gun. They seem to me to be a common sense approach in an effort to address what has become our nation's tragedy.
It is my hope that Alabama's concerned citizens and responsible gun owners will join together to ask our state's representatives to step up and support such a reasonable approach in an effort to reduce gun violence.

Eight finalists were named at the beginning of the AJM national finals tonight.
Mississippi's Marianna Breland, California's Jackie Rotman, Alabama's Norma Boyd, Utah's Lindsey Brinton, Oklahoma's Kaileigh Bullard, North Carolina's Helen Ching, Colorado's Nanxi Liu and Ohio's Lauren Gessner placed in the top eight.
The finalists will compete in the fitness and talent portions of the competition again and they will answer an onstage question.
The show, which is being shown online at www.nbc15.com, started with a tribute to the members of the armed services.
A video showing images of soldiers from different events was shown before the show in honor of anyone serving in the military. Almost everyone in the audience stood and cheered for the video.
The finalists were announced after the contestants performed their opening number, which featured the 2007 America's Junior Miss Nora Ali playing her violin.

Race sail for 25-35knots
Hello Ian, I`m 80kg and Have SSR 8,6 and 7,6 that I use until 20 and 25 knots. This winter we are thinking in gps testing old slalom and speed boards against new and wider designs. We have also some old sails to test against new ones. People that used to make speed competition think that old boards with new sails will be the fastest combination, but would be too uncomfortable for the standars now a days. What do you think about? I've sailed a Sonic 100 in more than 30knots and hard chopy and I think it would have been almost impossible with my old customs boards of the early 80's.
And another question, what size of Code Red do you think we need for speed in completely flat water and 30-35 knots?

Do you ever wish that you could open your refrigerator and find a single piece of your favorite pie just sitting there just waiting for you?
Well, it's not impossible.
If you don't want to make an entire pie because you know you'll eat the whole thing -- check out the Individual Pie Slice Pan from King Arthur bakeware. It allows you to make a single piece of pie,cobbler, potpie, etc. Because sets come in twos, you could make an extra piece for yourself -- or maybe a friend. You can also buy a "full plate" and have 6 individual servings for yourself (or your friends).
Each individual stoneware pie pan comes in a 5-inch wedge and is dishwasher safe. Most pies, cobblers or crisps can be used to fill them -- just divide the ingredients between the pans. Each segment holds 1/2 to 3/4 cup of filling.
It's available online at www.kingarthurflour.com. The pie pans come in sets of two and cost $10.95, but if you buy two or more sets you pay only $9.95 per set. The Web site includes a recipe for Crunchy Panko Fruit Cobbler that sounds good enough to eat!

Softball sluggers hammer way into All-Stars state
Whidbey Island will be represented at the 9/10-year-old softball Little League All-Stars state tournament this weekend in Asotin, Wash.
A team of players from Central and South Whidbey's Little Leagues combined to smash through the District 11 tournament. Through three games, the All-Stars won by no fewer than 10 runs — 22-5 over North Whidbey, 13-3 over Sedro-Woolley, 16-6 over South Skagit — at the Community Park fields in Langley last week.
The team's 16-6 win against South Skagit secured the trip to the state tournament, which begins Saturday, July 12. Gaining the state berth was a team effort, said coach Lark Gustafson.
"There were many stars," Gustafson said.
Two players on the team were from South Whidbey, which was not able to field a 9/10 softball squad of its own and had its players join Central Whidbey. One of them, Kaia Richmond, was 4-for-4 at the plate and scored four runs. The other South Whidbey girl, Shiana Baker, brought in the 16th and winning run.
Audrianna Shaw scored three runs and Thora Iverson tallied the final run to eliminate South Skagit.
Chelsea Prescott pitched a five-inning complete game that was shortened because of the 10-run mercy rule.

BIBLE HILL - It was too little too late for the Dalhousie Rams in their recent ACAA men's basketball contest with the Mount Allison Mounties.
Dalhousie Rams
The Rams (1-8) outscored the Mounties (5-3) 49-43 in the second half but lost the game 86-71.
The result leaves the Rams in a tie for seventh in the eight-team conference with the Kings Blue Devils (1-7).
The loss came a day after the Rams opened 2014 with a 112-52 setback to the Crandall Chargers (9-1).
The Rams trailed 43-22 at half time.
Truro's Taran Jordan led the Rams with 16 points and eight rebounds while Marcus Robinson collected 16 points and four rebounds. Brookfield resident Cody Locke drained 10 points.

Skip to comments.Influence of Palin and Tea Party Wanes in Early Contests (I hope they actually believe that!)
Posted on 02/04/2012 2:05:47 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
In October, Sarah Palin announced that she would not run for president in 2012, ending the media frenzy around her potential candidacy even as she vowed to remain politically active and influential.
I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, she wrote in an e-mail to her supporters.
Just over three months later, her attempts to wield influence in the presidential campaign the way she did during the 2010 midterm elections have largely fizzled.
And the Tea Party movement that she helped to turn into a powerful political force in 2010 has so far displayed little impact on the course of the 2012 Republican presidential campaign.
Over the last two weeks, Ms. Palin has urged voters in South Carolina and Florida to vote for Newt Gingrich as a way of striking back against the Republican establishment in Washington and against liberals.
If for no other reason, rage against the machine, vote for Newt. Annoy a liberal. Vote Newt. Keep this vetting process going, keep the debate going, Ms. Palin said on Fox News two days before Tuesdays primary in Florida.
Ms. Palin, who pointedly said she was not endorsing anyone in the Republican contest, draped her remarks in the anti-establishment rhetoric of the Tea Party, saying that Washington Republicans who oppose Mr. Gingrich were fighting against the cause of freedom....
(Excerpt) Read more at thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com ...
The New York Slimes: all the lies that are fit to print.
I understand he won most counties in Florida too.
So what happened to her in Florida? Had a previous obligation or something?
Maybe not. Where can I find good information?
I will continue driving the discussion for freedom and free markets, she wrote in an e-mail to her supporters.
That is the exact same thing as Nurse Sarah giving me a soothing warm sponge bath.
We peeked too early in 2010. This election cycle proving to be an EXACT rerun of 1994/1196. And it's just as depressing to me now as it was back then.
We won a glorious victory in '94 that stopped clintoon and the hildabeast from completing their destruction of America. But we ran out of gas in '96. We allowed a really weak candidate (Dole) to get the nomination, and the 'bent one' was allowed to infest the Oval Office for four more years.
Is that why every media outlet goes into helium voice whenever she comments on the Presidential Primary race?
When Sarah ran away from running, I knew that we had all been had by the Republican Machine.
I warned all who would listen and argued with those that wouldn't to the point of getting banned.
Sarah Palin has been compromised by someone or something.
She is not now helping us and will not in the future.
Unfortunately she is now a total non-issue in this campaign!
It remains to be seen if the faithful can muster enough numbers and votes (ones that are counted) to stop Romeney-the-RINO in the Primaries in the Flyover Country, AND, to overcome the Fraud and Illegals that will count in the General Election of 2012.
We are underground getting ready to throw another tantrum that will even stun the RINOs. How dare they think we would give up our country for a European version!!
I think what happened in Fla. was the geographic nature of Fla. The Tea Party, being the independent groups that they are, are too scattered and not working together at the state level. S.C. has a strong TP connection within the state. The Tea Parties within states need to work closely together. That is the only way we can be effective. Sarah can't carry the whole load.
THE BLACK VOTE (95% of them voted for The Messiah in 2012)
The Unionistas (public parasites feeding at the behest of Taxpayers)
"In 2011, 7.6 million employees in the public sector belonged to a union, compared with 7.2 million union workers in the private sector. The union membership rate for public-sector workers (37.0 percent) was substantially higher than the rate for private-sector workers (6.9 percent).
Within the public sector, local government workers had the highest union membership rate, 43.2 percent."
Spot on
Reagan himself couldn't have beat Clinton in 1996, thanks, in part, to the new Republican congress who forced Clinton to govern from the center --which he was able to do successfully. It's strange to consider that had the Republicans not taken control of congress in '94, Clinton would've likely been a failed one-termer ala Carter. Clinton took credit for everything (including the then booming tech industry that he had absolutely nothing to do with).
The Tea Party's motto should be: "Flying Below the Radar."
Well I wondered what happened to you but was glad to see you were back.
I don't know about your theory on Palin being compromised but fully agree...she's no longer a help.
She diminished herself; the reason she had credibility is because the majority believed she was going to ultimately 'run' for President in THIS election cycle. Deception in the highest degree.
"I think what happened in Fla. was the geographic nature of Fla. The Tea Party, being the independent groups that they are, are too scattered and not working together at the state level."
That and FL is half full of northerners at this time of the year. And many of them are registered to vote there - snowbirds. They declare that they live in FL six months and one day out of the year, thus they get all the tax breaks, etc. that FL has to offer over the northern states.
A lot of our older neighbors here in NY like Romney because they like how he LOOKS and SPEAKS. Obama all over again. It was shown in the FL exit polls that the bulk of the people that voted for Romney did so because they think he is the more "electable". Remember that this has been the meme about Romney since FOREVER. It has become embedded in the narrative. People don't even know what the hell it means. It just sounds "good".
And Sarah, well in my opinion, she did wait too long to declare that she would not run. If she had done that even a couple of weeks earlier, she would have held on to her potential to influence voters. As it is now, while still popular, she has made herself less relevant as to a serious positive impact on whomever she endorses. Sad really. And don't everybody yell at me.
That's some of the revisionist nonsense that clintoons worshipers in the media have spread for years. And it is bunk.
Fact: Clintoon beat Dole (a VERY weak candidate)by only 8.2 million votes.
Clintoon did NOT even get a majority of the vote as that jug eared numskull Perot got over 8 million votes.
When you look at the single biggest decrease in voting by block between 1994 and 1996 - yep - the most conservative had the biggest decline.
Clintoon did NOT win that election - it was handed to him by the apathy of the conservative base, caused a weak candidate and some kind of misplaced feeling that we had 'won' in 94, and no more work was required.
And yes, sadly that does feel like today.
Michael Steele, who was president of the RNC when the rule was past said that Florida had no business giving all delgates to Romney, and the current pres. of RNC wrote a letter in Dec. telling them the vote was to be distributed.
All media is spreading the meme that "Romney won by large numbers", when he didn't. Romney has sent out spokes people who repeat the meme. If you are familiar with Alinsky it is a way to dishearten Newt's followers.
DO NOT BE DISHEARTENED......FIGHT BACK! See my tagline join the cause.
I like that instead of silent majority....We are Flying Below the Radar.....or simply "Below Radar".
What happened in FL?
Team Mitt spent 25 million dollars and gained 25 delegates.
Pretty simple.
If Team Sarah was responsible for the win in SC, what happened in FL?
Was Team Sarah not on the job?
Are victories to be attributed to Our Sarah but never defeats?
Or maybe split the difference and admit that she's just a mere mortal.
It's entertaining to still hear from you three whiners, whimpering because you can't get a woman fight your political battles for you the way you think she should.
Especially nice to hear humblegrumbler continue to make a fool of himself, or is it herself?
Cool, you've got wi-fi at the highway rest stop.
Made any money yet?
The reason is, conservatives in general get busy when they see a threat, get after it one or two election cycles, and when it seems that they might be pretty well left alone, they go back to making a living and tending their families 'til the next agressive action against them.
For the liberal, they want something specific from government, and they know politics is a continuing game and so they just stay organized and make politics a part of their life.
Revisionist? No, I was right there, nearly 28-years old and voting for Dole. Republicans fielded a weak candidate because nobody felt confident about beating Clinton. "Might as well run ol' man Dole. It's his turn and we're going to lose anyways" was what the Republican establishment was thinking. Even if every Perot vote is added to Dole's numbers, Clinton still wins.
It's a little different this year. In 1996, the economy was booming and people were relatively optimistic. Today? Malaise, depression and anxiety. Yet the Republican front-runners are possibly the two worst candidates the party could field. We have Mitt Romney, a liberal with an 'R' next to his name who sends the base fleeing and Newt Gingrich, who retains the base and sends everyone else fleeing. In the worst economy since the Great Depression, the race seemed impossible to lose. I'm afraid we're going to find a way.
I was also once a 28 year old working on an election, but it was for Ford trying to keep that idiot Carter out of the White House. And believe me, the story is always the same. Conservatives will man-up and score a touchdown, but we won't put the game away. It was the same thing in the 80's. In 1984, Reagan DID actually win by a landslide. We responded by going to sleep and letting the democraps win back the Senate in '86.
In 1994 I was up to my elbows in the mid terms. I could get anything I wanted. From contributions to bodies. It was like that across the country. We took back Congress and seemed poised to cut the head off the snake. Yet in 1996, the same people that had been willing to do anything in 1994, would hardly return calls.
As much as I despise liberals, I have to take my hat off to them for one thing: they will stick to it until they get what they want. If conservatives would ever stick to it and finish the job, we could straighten this country out. But I'm afraid every victory causes us to think we can go back to sleep. And then the process repeats.
It took me at least two weeks and a promise to Jimrob to change my ways. I've kept my word and intend to stay above the fray.
You'll get no argument from me here. I don't think I've ever been more disappointed in Republican governance than I was between the elections of 2002 and 2006 when we controlled all branches of government --and governed like free-spending Democrats! So much opportunity squandered.
Ignore the facts at your own peril.
Just like Dorthy said in the Wizard of Oz, there's no place like home. The "shellacking," in November had everything to do with the Tea Party.
Keep knocking your heals together GOP elite, you will find that you're not in Kansas anymore.
We are approaching the abyss, I trust the American people will choose wisely.
Florida is what happens when libs are allowed to vote in GOP primaries. My solution is you must have been a registered Republican in the last presidential election to vote in the next presidential primary. How stupid are we to let libs pick our nominee.
Don't worry, he asks me that bullsh*t question all the time, and I have no freakin' idea what he means by it. Maybe it's what they ask at the halfway house when you report in to your P.O. or something.
Remember though that BJ won both times with a plurality due to HRP.
Unfortunately Rush took away any claim to voting purity when he championed Op Chaos in 2008.
A Republican Congress led by Newt Gingrich. Something folks in FL seem to forget.
And believe me, the story is always the same. Conservatives will man-up and score a touchdown, but we won't put the game away. It was the same thing in the 80s. In 1984, Reagan DID actually win by a landslide. We responded by going to sleep and letting the democraps win back the Senate in 86.

Hi, my young friend, in our family we keep souvenirs in our family from every American conflict, incident, civil unpleasantness etc, It''s my turn until I decide, which cousin or son receives this antique trove of US Military swag. There are Guidons, Battle flags, flintlocks, 1863 muskets South/North, calvary sabers, Pennsylvania rifles, Krag, Springfield, Girand rifles and even a couple of Bowie knives.
We also have boxes of medals won, worn and wept over from the very first, a George Washington Medal for Bravery, to a pile of today's better known Purple Heart(s). Expert marksmen tie tacs. We have a Silver star, two Bronzes and lots of ribbons from Cuba to Iraq. Five fragile paper Gold Window Stars, We also have eleven folded Triangular Stars & Stripes. Seven given out after combat posthumously. There are medals, I can't find copies of in any book about military decorations. Some apparently came from the grateful nation of France 20 years apart. A dozen more from countries in SE Asia are written in alien tongues.
Should the sad day come when a nation denied the soap box, the ballot box and only the cartridge box remains, we'll take up those sacred relics and remove these diseased minds. This type of thinking is a mental illness. It must be wiped out and then educated out.
I lost two good friends over that. They both were life long Republicans and conservatives, that decided they wanted to, "send a message to Washington." Thanks to that jug eared idiot and gullible people like them, what we actually sent to Washington was an ultra liberal pervert and his communist wife. Some message. If somebody from the right jumps in as a third party, I fear we could easily see the same thing happening this year.
Since Feb 8, 2011
You're still wet behind the ears and don't have a clue or proof to back up that stupid post.
You need to sit on the sidelines and learn a little while longer before making an ass out of yourself.
It feels like deja vu all over again don't it.
Anybody ever stop to think that there might have been a last minute family reason to not run? I still believe something happened to block a run, whether a personal reason or some shennanigins by the GOP , we may never know. Somebody on one of the blogs with a contact in DC - said that the rumor was going around that campaign people were warned not to join a Palin campaign- or else. Myself, my mind keeps going back to the interview with Greta a few weeks before she announced her desision. She seemed shaken up, and not herself. It was right after the Bristol/ bar incident. I will always wonder if the guy accosting Bristol didn't bring home to her how dangerous a run could be for her kids and family.
"Engage the caterpillar drive."
—The Hunt For Red October
WISHFUL THINKING by the NY Slimes.. nothing more.
That's it: 'Fly Below the Radar'
That's it: 'Below the Radar'
Unfortunately the situation is that Romney is headed to victory—and then a likely loss. Neither the Tea Party nor Palin has had much influence (or even attempted much influence) down ticket either.
Further, for all the Tea Party victories in 2008, they weren't able to make the GOP in Congress budge on spending or Obamacare.
Palin and her family have made a lot of money, but the people's rebellion against Obama and his politics has fizzled a slow death.
At the risk of being royally raked over the coals, I seriously thing Gov Palin should consider a independent run for the WH.
I have no idea what deadlines may or may not be for such a run, to be on all 57 States, but I think she should consider this, assuming Romney is the guy.
Who knows how the vote could be split, maybe fat Rosanne could take a few votes away from Obuma, maybe Ron Paul will run and get Obuma`s youngsters?
Perhaps she would only need 30% or thereabouts to pull off a win?

I hope that "mmf" mean "sorry."
If it's about her hair, Dakota can be a tough girl. Her hair can be tough, too.
"BWAH!" is Phoebe-ese for "BLAART!"
Was Phoebe trying to break Dakota's concentration? I thought she was supposed to be helping!
Now Im cheering for Dakota Magic hair is a character I like better then Dakota I don't want to see it say good bye. Though hair packing bags and sitting on a bench to catch a bus would be funny. I hope what Phoebe did was a reaction to the contest being ONLY over hair. If it was over the fate of the WORLD she would have lost a lot more points in likability . I'm ok with Phoebe thinking its funny to make her friend loose and she got what she deserves but its how children are. If a childish act had cost us the world I would have hit her.
On the other hand Hair today Goon tomorrow. IDK I always did like characters with long or empowered hair Dakota's not the 1st. I also like people with other body part powers like Toph and her feet or some one with a cool tail.
Phoebe was jealous that the goblins kidnapped Dakota. Phoebe wants to "help" Dakota to fail. Phoebe should stop and figure out that she doesn't want the goblins to kidnap anyone.
The first eyeballs which dry out loses.
Goblins have a transparent nictating membrane that should make blinking unnecessary.
No dirty pool, Phoebe.
That "BWAH!" will boomerang.
CHEATING!!!! Nictating is cheating in a blinking contest. Automatic forfeiture!!
OK, so Dakota now has complete control of her magic hair and is in a staring contest with the Goblin queen. She better be careful or she'll BE a goblin. I wouldn't bet on the goblins letting her go. After all aren't "goblin" and "law-abiding' mutually exclusive?
You like characters with long or empowered hair? Are you a DBZ fan?
Let Phoebe go now Dakota!!

text: Ok, so I am looking to get a lightweight upper for my stripped Stag lower. I have pretty much narrowed my search down to DelTon's 16" Pre-Ban Flat Top with light weight barrel. My question is, how annoying is the A2 front sight on a flat top upper? I would be using a Bushnell Holosight and I am unsure if it would co-witness or if it would mount too low? I really dont want to have a view of only the front tower through my sight, lol. I may mount up my Pentax 2-5x scope for some coyote hunting too and I dont really want to have the front sight interfere wih that. Cash is kinda tight, so I would rather not spend the extra $40 for a rail gas block and I do kinda like the ability to use a flip up rear sight with the front A2.

Punctuation - Possessives
Which one is correct? She looked at the propertie's vast landscape. Or...She looked ate the properties vast landscape. Note the difference in the placement of the apostrophe in the word, "propertie's". Grammarly does not recognize possessive forms. What's up with that?
2 answers
Actually, Grammarly does recognize many possessives, but not all. This is a function of the software's dictionary.
You problem lies elsewhere; both of your samples are wrong. Properties is the plural of property and is not a possessive. Properties' is the plural possessive. Proopertie's is nothing, a misspelling.
Because you use the definate article "the," you are talking about a single property -- the property -- and not multiple properties. So you must use the possessive of the singular -- property's.
She looked at the property's vast landscape.
I hope this helps.

We are approaching the end of the European football season, and fans would normally fill their addiction for the beautiful game with an international tournament of sort.
We of course have the Confederations Cup to give us a glimpse of next year's World Cup, but most fans will concentrate their thoughts on something entirely different.
The transfer window will open in a month or so, and it is perhaps the beginning of great seasons where clubs can assemble their side in preparation for the year ahead and quickly forget last season.
With thousands of rumours released in the buildup to the offseason, anticipating the ones that will really happen can be tricky.
However, there are always those that we, as fans, anticipate to be inevitable for numerous reasons, and the thought of certain players joining forces with others can generate huge excitement in the wait for the new season to roll back around.
So here are some of the the biggest transfers that we are ultra keen to see this summer.

If you really "must" make an item information page (because there is information available for detail) then do so like was done in the following item : Brutal Hauberk CJ 05:47, 7 Mar 2006 (EST)
if you're looking for something to do: stubs : subcategories have a list of all incomplete pages, which might be a nice place to look at :) especially quests / npcs CJ 02:11, 10 Mar 2006 (EST)
hm, not sure which color theme you might be using, but on my screen the purple / blue in the tables on Rogue Gear Guide is very unreadable. CJ 04:48, 17 March 2006 (EST)
You started creating a bunch of pages related to serial quests but never added any content? --Dracomage 09:08, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

|This was my 2nd visit to j-tree, first time when my son was 2 was just a quick visit and a few short hikes. 2nd time (18 years later) spent 5 days climbing different routes, more remote routes, lots of 5.9s and 5.10s - Dow would not let me be a slacker :). Took 970 photos on this trip!!! and did a few hikes as well.

Date Climbed: Jan 3, 2015
|Just a quick road trip though the area to see what the park is like. Rock climbing is not really an interest of mine, so I doubt we will be back often, though it is certainly a very interesting area ecologically. It's always surreal to see snow and Joshua Trees together.
