2010 Cabernet Sauvignon
- Tech Sheet
- Show Reviews
- Vineyards
The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is beautiful. Scents of pain grille, mocha, black currants, spices and plums emerge from the deep, resonant wine. The 2010 possesses stunning textural depth and richness, not to mention phenomenal overall balance. This is a dazzling wine, especially within its price range.
A cab with great concentration. Aromas and flavors of blueberry, plum, tobacco and vanilla. Layered flavors. Striking.
The 2010 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon shows amazing concentration and depth with layers of gorgeous ripe black cherries and dark currant which are immediately followed by spices, herbs, anise, mocha, caramel and dusty minerals. Full and rich with a wonderful plush texture and a finish that is long and supple leaving behind a coating of ripe dark fruit. A remarkable Cabernet that is already delicious and showing excellent, but will be even better after some short-term cellaring.
This wine shows the glamour you expect from a Phelps Cabernet. It's softly tannic and rich in blackberries, currants, licorice and cedar, with a lovely structure. Nice to drink now, right out of the bottle.
Aromas of cassis, mocha and Cuban cigar tobacco. Sweet and pliant in the mouth, with currant and black cherry fruit flavors complicated by tobacco, herbs and spicy oak. Quite suave in the middle. Finishes with firm but sweet tannins and excellent length. A very successful vintage for this bottling.
Medium-dark ruby, attractive, intense, cedary, blueberry and blackberry fruit aroma with hints of dill, tobacco, and graphite; full body; big, rich, extracted, cedary, currant and blackberry fruit flavors with notes of pepper and dried herbs; full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Very highly recommended.
A polished, refined red with blueberry and blackberry. Full body with silky tannins and an attractive, fruity finish.

From a public PC, in the lobby of the La Quinta Inn, Austin, Tejas.
Yesterday was one of those wasted days of travel, where it's as if it need'nt exist except to warp from one town to another. Instead of through a wormhole at the speed of light, we warped through the Interstate system of our great country at varying speeds of 40 to 70 mph in a full-size Chevy cargo van, 353 cubic in., I'm guessing. Brand new to the fleet at Enterprise, and smelling fresh as a tire store.
Gone are the days of the Great Roadtrip--the skies spangled with plastic signs yellowed with french fry grease that hangs foggy over the exits, each one looking more like the last, satellite radio further homogonizing the landscape.
But, alas, we did find one slice of Americana there, between XM radio signals, in one Lousianna State Police officer.
I wrestled the Chevy into the emergency lane when I saw his lights in the rearview. Not speeding, my colleague, James, asleep beside me, me at the wheel.
The trooper motioned for me to get out of the vehicle.
I walked back to him, where he stood smoking next to his cruiser, "Afternoon Sir."
"Where y'all playing?"
"Austin, Tejas, sir."
"Okay. This a rental?"
"Yes sir. I'm liking her so far, but it couldn't break 70 if it wanted to."
"Austin...I tell you a good place to eat there. Dick's Place ... no wait ... that's in San Antonio... So waht's the name of the group? ... "
So ... he apparently just wanted to chat, and I guess he liked the looks of us.
Or, maybe he didn't like the looks of us, but when I approached him, not smelling like marijuana or acid or something to his keen cop nose, he decided that I was probably good Christian folk that needed to be reminded to "Take her easy now."
The rest of the drive was through torrential downpours on a two-lane highway, where the middle-of-nowhere landscape was blacked out completely in the night. Flat greenery only visible when the lightning came in strobes of noon. Thank God, I remembered that the Louisianna cop had told us to be careful. We play tonight at 10 p.m. To be continued... There is a line of South-by-South-Westerners squeaking around in their Chuck Taylors behind me waiting to check their MySpace pages.

Great minds think alike. He really wanted a smoothie - so that was my first thing. It's a dream. No problems at all with all of the frozen (like a big rock!) fruit. I'm not going to want to work the next few days:)
that is it, I am going to Costco on Friday and getting mine!
Then you'll have to share what you're making:)
I really want to make some of that macadamia nut "cheese" and some sunflower seed flower.
I will gladly share, so excited.
p.s. is the noise really irritating? ie is it loud?
It is LOUD. Doesn't bother me, but won't be able to cook if DH is on a conf call.
I will likely not use it while Dh is home, easy enough given he is a 6 to 7 day a week 10 to 12 hours a day kind of guy!
[QUOTE=RMS123;1086108]DH just left to buy my Vitamix. SO excited!!!!
Stomach is VERY unhappy over the dairy. Is it Friday.?[/QUOTE]
AWESOME about your new toy!! Congratulations! Be sure to share what you are doing!!
Its not Friday yet :( sorry your @ your tummy trouble. That makes for a long day.
I am in love. With my new Vitamix (and DH who bought it for me, of course:p). Made Fat Bread tonight. It powdered those macadamia nuts so fast, my head was spinning!
Hard day at work. I cannot get myself motivated. I do not seem to care. I'm grumpy. All very unlike me. Sigh.
As Karin says, pass the bacon.
I feel like a reason for your lack of motivation may have to do with the lack of progress regarding the talk you had with your boss about work load and travel. Frustrating i suspect.
How very sweet of your DH to get you the Vitamix. A new toy should lift the spirits a bit. Maybe a good nights sleep will help.

Security Studies Program Seminar
Richard Kohn
October 12, 2005
One the oldest fears in civil military relations is militarism, the displacement of civilian government by the military and the imposition of military values, perspectives and ideals on the rest of society. This fear is rooted in the fear of standing armies and embedded in the US Constitution. The word militarism was invented by European leftist opponents of their government in the eighteen sixties. Militarism came to be seen in the United States as a threat to freedom and democracy.
The fear of militarism was articulated in academia and Congress in the nineteen thirties. In the United States, this fear was expressed primarily toward internal problems, but after World War I, it was also seen as having caused German aggression and thus as a force that created foreign threats.
In 1941, Harold Laswell wrote on the garrison state. Charles Beard, the historian, expressed similar fears about the dangers of centralized power in a Republic and its threat to civil liberties. These fears did not materialize however. American victory in World War II and the Cold War were achieved with heavy military spending but not a total capitulation to military values. After the Cold War, around the world, democracy not only survived but expanded, along with individual liberty and human rights, and military budgets declined. Military regimes declined in number. War became more an internal than international problem.
Yet the global war on terror brings back the problem of militarization and the threat of militarism. Most people accept that this war is indefinite. It is a war against an ill-defined enemy, without a way to measure success or victory. It has already produced domestic stresses common to other American wars. Moreover, because of the internal nature of the terrorist threat, the impact of the war on American society could well exceed those of previous conflicts.
The danger today is not militarization. The United States has already experienced a high degree of militarization. The danger is that further militarization will lead to militarism. The question is to what extent American values and institutions will become militaristic and change the character of the country into one our founders would abhor.
What is the difference between militarization and militarism? Militarization comes from the organization of the state for war. It is the degree to which societal institutions, values, and thoughts are shaped by war. Militarism is the reification of military power as an end in itself.
Militarization emerged in Europe in the sixteenth century when monarchs organized their subjects for war. But it was only in late nineteenth century when armies professionalized, governments began to devote more wealth to arms, and militaries sought and gained more autonomy that militarization took off.
In the United States, because of the perception of success, by the nineties, the military had gained unprecedented influence. The military has had less influence since 2001, but that has been a choice by military leadership.
Until the twentieth century, the United States lagged behind Europe in militarization. War and peace were very separate until the Cold War. Our country has a long history of periods of militarization for war-making and bluster and jingoism in war. But prior to World War II, the country built up a large arsenal and military only during war.
It was the World War I partnership between government and business to produce military power that changed things. The force dismantled after the war, but the idea remained. This was an irreversible step toward the creation of the national security state.
In the interwar period, the American armed forces began systematically to make war plans. The services reached out to business to plan for mobilization. With the Great Depression, the tools used to organize the war spilled over to other parts of the government. War metaphors were invoked to fight poverty. War became the central paradigm used to shape the organizations that fought the depression. The New Deal organizations were led largely by men who had run World War I organizations.
With World War II came full militarization. Industry converted to war ends, wage and price controls were instituted, and foreign and domestic policy were subordinated to the war effort. Universities, professional organizations, and even Hollywood contributed as they could.
During the Cold War, militarization became less pervasive but more permanent. Internal security became a consuming concern. American foreign policy became a handmaiden of containment. For the first time, the United States constructed nearly permanent alliances. The strategic objectives of the Cold War displaced other economic and political aims to determine foreign relations. Military leadership became more influential in interagency politics. The services gained independence and power. Veterans groups emerged to promote preparedness and other ends. Conventional forces were expanded, their readiness upgraded. The forces built bases abroad and send military advisors to dozens of countries. A huge intelligence apparatus grew, not only to ascertain enemy intentions but to combat them around the world. America overturned foreign governments and made covert war.
The needs of the military establishment pervaded the economy more deeply than ever before, outside shooting wars. A large portion of a growing economy fed national security, though only twelve percent at most. Eisenhower popularized the term "military-industrial complex" but it was implied in C. Wright Mills' investigation of "the power elite." Large percentages of men served in military, and most Americans participated in civil defense programs and air raid drills.
Popular culture reinforced war thinking. Comic books and television depicted danger and military reassurance. Movies showed combat as a way to prove manhood and the military as all-conquering and always right. The martial John Wayne became the mythically ideal American man.
War language came to pervade daily life. America declared war on drugs and poverty. Military planning spread to business. Football, with its similarity to combat, displaced baseball as the national sport.
Despite all this, a lot of factors prevent the formation of command economy and a garrison state, as Aaron Friedberg argues. But even without a full garrison state, the vast expansion of the military and its penetration into society militarized many aspects of American life. Various industries became dependent on military spending for their existence.
Some thought the end of the Cold War would change all this. But the reduction in militarization was brief and weak. As Andrew Bacevich argues, Americans become enthralled with military power after Vietnam. America fell prey to the variant of militarism that measures societal well-being in military preparedness. Almost without discussion, the United States decided to keep a large military establishment, take a dominant role in world and spend heavily on defense. Regional commanders gained great power over foreign policy in their area. Military force sizing aimed not only to overpower any other state but any conceivable combination of states. There was no demobilization.
At home, the cultural manifestations of militarization continued. The war paradigm was used ubiquitously. Movies like Rambo became regular hits. Style got more boldly masculine. Criminal justice organizations adopted military ideas like boot camps and swat teams.
The military became seen as an institution with models and tools to solve all problems. American trust in the federal government declined dramatically in the last thirty five years, but the military has risen to iconic status. Americans have trusted the military more than any other institution in government by a wide margin for twenty years.
So what?
The global war on terror may last for a generation and it promises to continue or intensify militarization. It poses the risk of the domination of war values in American society to the point of dysfunction. It threatens Americans institutions and the coherence of American foreign policy.
Since September 11, military campaigns have dominated foreign policy. The President gave responsibility for the war on terror to the Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld. The core of the new national security strategy links bellicosity and liberalism. It says the United States has the right to overturn countries that cooperate with terrorists and make WMD. Bush Administration officials have talked of preemptively attacking up to six nations.
Other nations see a militaristic nation, blinded by fear and power. Around the world, there has been a decline in respect for the United States as a result of the use of military force outside accepted norms.
Calling the effort against terrorism a war tends to give power to the President at the expense of the other branches. It gives increased weight to the military in policy making, and requires a larger intelligence establishment. National security is now paramount in domestic politics. There are calls for the military to be used internally for disaster relief or to quarantine avian flu victims.
As Andrew Bacevich points out, there is no real anti military left anymore. The response to increased militarization has been weak.
So far, however, militarism has been rather limited. Like President Johnson in Vietnam, President Bush has not called for much sacrifice. And though the most threatening developments are in internal security, the PATRIOT Act was relatively modest, and a stronger request — PATRIOT Act II, was beaten back by a strong bipartisan coalition in Congress.
One of the most worrying developments has been the executive branch's aggressive use of secrecy. Secrecy has been used to block information as to how many immigrants have been collected, to place restrictions on Freedom of Information Act, and to justify the holding of Americans as enemy combatants. Then there was the Tips program and John Poindexter's Total Information Awareness program.
True, Congress blocked a lot of these developments. But Congress has done little else to check militarization. It issued a blank check for the war. And the courts have basically deferred to the President and the military, while establishing some limits on executive power in the Padilla and Hamdi cases.
If things remain as they are, America only has to worry about militarization, but when the next large attack occurs, restraint may vanish and militarism may take hold. We are still vulnerable, the borders still porous. The administration has done little to control the spread of nuclear technology. Iran and North Korea are proceeding quickly toward becoming nuclear powers.
Nearly every war in US history has involved infringement of civil liberties and freedoms. The PATRIOT Act, though modest, shows a public willingness to support and even call for suspensions of freedoms when security seems precarious. War generates a powerful mass psychology and the United States public often lets fear and fury to get ahead of it. A large WMD attack may lead to a request for a radical tilting of freedom and security.
But even without that calamity, defining the struggle against terrorism as war could lead to a slow creep away from freedom, and there is no evidence that Congress or the judiciary will push back. The courts reflexively defer to the military, and deal with the largest questions in the narrowest ways. The most worrying thing about the recent Supreme Court nominees, John Roberts and Harriet Miers is that they both believe in broad deference to executive power.
Recently retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Richard Myers calls terrorism today the greatest threat to the United States since the civil war. That's ridiculous. We can absorb even a grievous blow. The worst danger is overreacting to this threat by weakening or mutilating liberties and freedoms that define us. We can only defeat ourselves.

Darvocet Lawsuit Settlement and Other Drug Recall Lawsuit Settlements
Drug recalls and resulting settlements of the past provide encouraging examples to current plaintiffs and former users who have experienced Darvocet side effects and are awaiting a Darvocet lawsuit settlement of their own.
Darvocet recall similar in some ways to Vioxx recall
In 2004, Merck pulled its blockbuster anti-inflammatory drug Vioxx from the US market after it was found to put users at significant risk of heart attack. At the time of its recall, Vioxx was one of the most widely used drugs to ever be pulled from the market.
As soon as the drug was recalled, the lawsuits poured in, with millions awarded to plaintiffs who developed cardiovascular injuries due to Vioxx use. In 2008, Merck began paying out a massive $4.8 billion settlement to nearly 50,000 former Vioxx users. Vioxx settlements ranged from $5,000 to a couple million dollars each.
A Darvocet lawsuit settlement may be equally valuable, although there are almost certain to be fewer plaintiffs involved in the growing Darvocet side effects litigation. Darvocet side effects including arrhythmia,torsade de pointes, ventricular heart problems, heart electrical changes, heart attack, all of which also affect the heart, are relatively rare. Nevertheless, they are particularly deadly. As such, a Darvocet lawsuit settlement may be valued at a million dollars or more.
Darvocet recall and the Fen-phen recall
Fen-phen is another popular drug that was recalled due to cardiac side effects. The popular diet drug, a combination of previously approved individual drugs fenfluramine and phentermine, was recalled from the US market in 1997 after it was found to cause valvular heart disease and pulmonary hypertension.
In 2005, drugmaker Wyeth announced that it had set aside $21.1 billion to settle more than 60,000 Fen-phen lawsuits. Many plaintiffs who never experienced symptoms of Fen-Phen side effects were offered settlements worth between $5,000 to $200,000. Plaintiffs who developed serious side effects with life-changing symptoms were offered considerably more.
Darvocet side effects lead to lawsuits
Today, only a few dozen plaintiffs have so far joined Darvocet litigation, which may be consolidated and centralized when a high-ranking judicial panel meets later this summer. By that time, hundreds of plaintiffs may have hired or at least consulted with a Darvocet lawyer about potential compensation for Darvocet side effects.
Darvocet recall
Darvocet was recalled last November after the mild painkiller was found to interfere with the electrical activity of the heart, causing sometimes-deadly Darvocet side effects such as ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation.
Darvocet and its core ingredient propoxyphene had been on the market for more than 50 years prior to the Darvocet recall. Consumer health advocacy groups estimate the painkiller has killed several thousands of Americans within just the past two decades.

Jersey City is on the verge of mayoral elections, and I'm glad to live in a place where we have the power to vote in the person we would like to see in leadership as opposed to a place like North Korea that basically has a leader for life. However, I do think that a two-term office is a valid way to go. Jersey City and all of Hudson County has been marred by politicians who have taken the citizens of Jersey City and Hudson County for granted. These politicians have a history of viewing their public office akin to being the boss instead of the public servants. I applaud Steven Fulop for the forthrightness to push for such a policy as a term limit. I would vote yes to this public question if it were on the ballot. This would also mean Healy, Brennan, Richardson and company -- time's up!
Such a policy would give other talented people with new and innovative ideas the opportunity to help move Jersey City forward. I hope that the Jersey City public understands that this type of policy would be a positive step towards stopping some of the systemic abuse that we have endured with Hudson County politics in general and Jersey City politics in particular.
I too, like many others, think Steve Fulop's ideas in regards to moving Jersey City forward are intelligent, positive, fair-minded and objective. He has a real common sense approach to the issues. Having my say, as a taxpaying citizen who supports a new direction and a most needed change in Jersey City, I will vote the Steven Fulop ticket on Election Day.

Well, the other little girl that our sitter watches is sick today, so the sitter came to our house. I went home for lunch at noon, and before I left, I offered nursing to Haylee. She nursed for about 5 minutes and was done. She got down, and the sitter (Nana) had her baby-doll, and Haylee went over, got the doll from Nana and attempted to pull down her shirt and nurse the doll. She couldn't get her shirt all the way down and got frustrated, but she shoved his little head down there and "nursed" the doll for about 20 seconds. Then she threw him down on the floor (much as I do with her when we are done nursing--j/k) but had the proudest look on her face. My little nursling, nursing her doll . I am actually quite surprised, because she really doesn't seem to have much knowledge of my breasts and their location...occasionally she will pat them when she wants to nurse, but very rarely. And its only been very recently that she has started humanizing her objects...patting the doll's back or kissing the stuffed animals.
Anyway, I just had to share this with likeminded souls. My sitter thought it was cute too, even though she isn't really a breastfeeding advocate and thinks it would be just fine to wean Haylee at this point. I have to say the look on Haylee's face was priceless...she was so proud of herself!

Since everyone loves a winner, it's reasonable to assume that everyone hates a loser -- everyone but short-sellers, at least. These contrarian investors bet that hot stocks are primed to fall, aiming to turn their pessimism into profits.
Here are top companies on the New York Stock Exchange with the largest percentage increases in shares short. Combining that with the collective intelligence of Motley Fool CAPS, we'll see which of these companies Fools believe have the power to make short work of short-sellers.

|Qihoo 360 Technology (NYSE: QIHU )
|Sunrise Senior Living (NYSE: SRZ )
|Unilever (NYSE: UL )
Sources: wsj.com. Share counts in millions. NM = not meaningful.
Of course, this isn't a list of stocks to buy -- or short! These stocks could have serious problems that warrant their short interest, but they might also be stricken by short-term troubles. Only Foolish due diligence will tell you for certain; our 170,000-strong CAPS community offers a good place to start your research.
The short list
The IPO market had been hungry for Qihoo 360 Technology's new shares, which stopped the presses on their introduction, sending the stock soaring. It was priced at $14, opened at $27, and closed at $34 a share. Yet like "China's Facebook" Renren (Nasdaq: RENN ) , the taste is more like cotton candy: It quickly dissolves. Renren's shares have been almost cut in half since their debut and Qihoo's stock is down to $26 a stub.
Qihoo has something of an advantage, though, as it's the second-most-popular browser behind Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT ) Internet Explorer. While it gives away the browser for free, it apparently does quite well supporting itself through advertisements and games. Revenues were up almost 80% last year.
CAPS All-Star aidourtroops sees strong growth for Qihoo 360, a point undoubtedly supported by many members in the CAPS community, as almost three-quarters of those rating the browser company believe it will outperform the broad market averages. You can browse through the Qihoo 360 Technology CAPS page and let us know whether you think it's a winner.
No small thing
Too far, too fast, and on the back of one-time gains may be the short-selling case against Sunrise Senior Living. The stock has enjoyed an incredible recovery after foundering in a desperate attempt to raise cash. Over the past year the stock has more than doubled and it's up 158% in the last six months alone.
At just seven times forward earnings estimates, Sunrise is valued at about half of what the market thinks National Healthcare (NYSE: NHC ) is worth and just a third of Capital Senior Living. Based on its growth prospects, though, the market is also saying it's fairly valued, which may mean the market has overpriced its rivals.
For CAPS member trishsym, an expanding demographic base will lead to a growing market for Sunrise's business:
On same page as other posters, this market segment is only going to grow given the baby boomers and given the success so far, they know what they're doing in this field. Look at historical prices of SRZ before the recession and it's an indication of where it can go
You can add it to your watchlist and take up residence on the Sunrise Senior Living CAPS page and give us your thoughts on whether this is a stock to grow old with.
Squeezed to death
Honesty only gets you into trouble. What applies to marital infidelity also goes for telling the truth about inflation in China, as Unilever is quickly finding out. It recently warned that the commodities bubble was sending costs soaring and it was going to have to raise prices. Unfortunately for it, truth is apparently a casualty of China's death-grip on reality.
The government fined Unilever $308,000 for letting the cat out of the bag that inflation is an ever-present danger. If Beijing hasn't previously announced actions like that, then it's against the law to tell the people that inflation is going up and price increases are necessary. As the Fool's Rich Smith notes, the government is running around like the Red Queen yelling "off with their heads!" But it's really no different than the censorship it imposed on Google (Nasdaq: GOOG ) for having the temerity to allow individuals to search for phrases like "Tiananmen Square."
The "China problem" isn't what's attracting the shorts, though. Likely it's the actual higher costs the company is having to contend with, which led to price increases here at home and the announced ones in China. That will only ameliorate and not eliminate the margin erosion it's been suffering.
But CAPS member BKITU says consumer products like those Unilever sells both here and abroad will keep it in the public's good graces, if not the government's:
As long as there are more and more consumers being created by globalization, it's a good idea to be bullish on unsexy consumable goods produced and/or marketed by solid companies.
Add the stock to the Fool's free portfolio tracker to find out if the truth will set Unilever free.
Don't sell yourself short
It pays to start your own research on these stocks on Motley Fool CAPS. Read a company's financial reports, scrutinize key data and charts, and examine the comments your fellow investors have made, all from a stock's CAPS page. Then share your views with the CAPS community: Squeeze 'em till it hurts, or short 'em till the sun don't shine? May the best argument prevail!

I'm interested in the above statement you make. What have Wigan done that was so impressive this year, that the RFL haven't?
Wigan sent their marketing team to the USA in the close season and linked up with baseball / american football clubs to see how they marketed events / clubs etc. Wigan took what they gleaned and applied it to Wigan RLFC. Mick Hogan did a superb job until he left for Sale but Simon Collinson has been fantastic for the club and still is.
The RFL marketing has never been very good IMO since David Howes left and that is a long time ago.

Sneak Peek: Chanel Noirs Obscurs Makeup Collection
I'm keeping my fingers crossed hoping these will be released in time for the Saks and Neimans Beauty Events (mid September), but since they just released a new skincare line and the rouge allure laques in the US, I have a feeling the release date might not be as soon as I hope.
From Biteki Magazine, scan of the Chanel ad (the scan just couldn't capture the true color or intensity/depth of the eyeshadow, the actual photo shows a bit of iridescence to the eyes but when scanned, just looks flat):
Article featuring Peter Philips from Voce:
Scan from Maquia:
I've found some more details on the product names on these two blogs:
British Beauty Beauty Blogger (Chanel: Noirs Obscurs Collection)
Ladies Beauty (Noirs Obscurs Dark Black Collection . . .)
If you have anymore details, please share!!!
For those unfamiliar with these Japanese magazines, they run about $8 to $12 USD each issue which is fairly pricey. However, they have beautiful layouts, pictures on real women, tons of how-to tutorials, and lots of great ideas (both fashion and beauty related) which make these well worth the price in my opinion and a better deal than most US beauty/fashion magazines. That being said, since these are Japanese publications, they do follow Asian Trends (which do not always coincide with other countries) and most of the models are fair-medium in skintone.
Check to see if your city has a Japanese supermarket or bookstore!

This collection looks stunning, as well as the make-up on the model! I wish we could all pull of those dark lips! Thanks for sharing all the images :)ReplyDelete

high cut, allure korea, singles, nylon korea, etc. haha (:
......and they're similar to japanese magazines-- like ceci, with a bajillion pages but lots of cool insightful fashionista/beauty addict stuff <3
Marce - I will definitely check out your blog soon!ReplyDelete
SLee - thanks so much for the Korean Magazine recommendations!!!! Now I need to find out if there is a Korea-town near me.
I can't wait to see swatches of that black palette, seen some okeish palette pics, I'm not sure if I need it though, has to be something to wear by day.ReplyDelete

HOMEWOOD, Alabama - The University of Alabama continued doing today what it had been doing during its three-day visit to Lakeshore Foundation. The Tide's women's wheelchair basketball team pulled away from yet another opponent, beating Illinois 63-42 in the women's division final of the Pioneer Classic tournament.
In its five victories, Bama averaged winning by 32 points a game. But Alabama's Karolina Lingyte said today's final was not as easy as the score indicated.
"It's always a tough game against Illinois," she said. "They always play hard and push for 40 minutes. Every time we play them it's a hard game."
Alabama, the 2012 national runners-up, led 37-25 at the half but the Tide had stretched the lead to 41-25 at 14:32 of the second half on its way to its 21-point margin. Lingyte led the way with 17 points while Cindy Ouellet and Anika Zeyen, the MVP and top Class I players, respectively, followed with 14 apiece.
Illinois got 12 each from Gail Gaeng and Helen Freeman. Gaeng was named the sportsmanship award winner.

MOBILE, Alabama -- South Alabama's 17-16 loss to Arkansas State Saturday night came with a second loss -- receiver Danny Woodson Jr.
Woodson, who transferred to the Jaguars' program from Alabama in May and was granted a waiver by the NCAA to play immediately for the Jaguars, suffered a torn Achilles' hell late in Saturday game and will be lost for the remainder of the season.
"It was on the second-to-last series and he was coming off the ball and just kind of pulled up on it,'' South Alabama head coach Joey Jones said. "After looking at it after the game and today we found out it was a torn Achilles.''
Woodson played in all eight games for the Jaguars and had two catches for 54 yards against Arkansas State. His first catch was a 7-yarder on the first play of the jags' second possession of the game. In the second quarter, he caught a 47-yarder -- his longest catch of the season -- and put the Jags at the 2 yard line.
In South Alabama's previous game at Texas State, he had a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown catches of 42 and 43 yards, the second TV catch leading to a 31-30 lead for the Jags with 1:32 to play. Texas State would kick a field goal with four seconds to play for the win.
"We're going to have to have some other receivers step up because he's definitely been a good receiver for us,'' Jones said. "It's definitely a big-play guy, especially down field. So, we've got to have some receivers step into his shoes.''
Woodson exits the season as the Jags' fourth-leading receiver with 26 catches for 409 yards and four touchdowns. He is the team's third-leading scorer with 24 points but his greatest impact has been in recent games as a down field threat. Texas State attempted one-on-one coverage of Woodson and that defensive plan did not work; he had five catches for 118 yards.
"He's been a great asset to our team,'' Jones said. "Not only is he a great player, but he's one of those very competitive guys on the field and it rubs off on the other players. He's brought that intensity element as well as being able to make plays down field.''
Jones said the injury will likely require at least six months to heal.

A Des Moines Democrat wants to require that school harassment policies address the issue of student bullying on social networking sites.
Rep. Bruce Hunter introduced a bill Monday that would update state guidelines for district bullying and harassment policies to include so-called cyberbullying. It also would require that all alleged incidents be reported to school administrators.
Hunter says Iowa law doesn't now recognize bullying that occurs outside school on social media sites like Facebook.
The bill would affect students at all public and accredited nonpublic prekindergarten through 12th grade schools.

|[TowerTalk] Mast-mounted rotors and assy
|email@example.com (Paul Booth)
|Fri, 05 Jun 1998 08:53:36 -0700
I currently have a quad-pod (not a mini-tower but a 2" mast supported by 4 legs at the peak of my roof) with a mast-mounted rotor supporting a TA-33jr and a 40m dipole (2' from beam and in parallel with boom). The beam is on top about 2.5ft. from the rotor. I would like to upgrade to a TA-53 with the 30m add-on element and still keep the 40m. mounted below as is currently. However, this increases my total overall wind surface area from 5.6ft-sq. to 9.5ft-sq. Is this going to be too much for a mast-mounted rotor assembly? The rotor is a Ham-M and the manual provides no specs. for this kind of arrangement. Guess I should call Hy-Gain too. Maybe I'm trying to do too much here.

Though the raw dough does tear easily as it is being shaped into the pan, it is easily patched. This dough can be used in a traditional pie pan, but also works well pressed into a tart pan (though you will need less dough). And while this dough can be used for a double crust recipe, it is most frequently used for single crust pies.
The classic clafoutis is a custardy concoction straight from the countryside of France. This version adds a touch of chocolate that is nicely offset by the crisp sweet crust.
For the clafoutis filling melt 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan with 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen, sweet cherries, thawed, and 2 tablespoons sugar. Let that mixture become syrupy after about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
Meanwhile, prepare the batter. In a blender, combine Ð cup flour, ¼ cup cocoa powder, ½ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 3 eggs and 1 ¼ cup whole milk. Pour a ½-inch layer of the batter into the bottom of the pie crust. Spoon the cherries over the batter, then top with the remaining batter. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until set and lightly browned. A toothpick inserted at the center should come out clean.
The clafoutis recipe feeds 8 guests.
(Makes 1 crust)
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup powdered sugar
½ cup (1 stick) butter, room temperature
1 egg yolk
In a small bowl, sift together the flour and salt.
In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together the sugar and butter. Add the egg yolk and beat just to combine. Stir in the flour mixture until completely incorporated. The dough will be quite soft. With your hands, form the dough into a disc, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
When ready to make the pie, on a lightly floured surface roll one of the discs into a 13-inch circle. Always roll from the center of the disc and turn frequently to prevent sticking.
Fold the dough in half, then again to form quarters. Lift the triangle of dough into your pie pan, putting the folded point in the center of the pan. Gently unfold the dough to cover the whole pan. You should have a generous overhang once the dough is all settled into the corners of the pan.
Trim the overhang of dough to just beyond the edge of the pan. Using either a fork or your fingers, crimp the edge of the dough around the pie and against the top of the pie pan. Bake as directed for your pie recipe.
— Recipe by Alison Ladman, The Associated Press, 2010

Washington -- President Barack Obama today will unveil a sweeping climate action plan that includes the first-ever carbon dioxide limits on new and existing power plants.
Obama will outline his plan in a speech this afternoon at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., where aides say he will propose mandatory reductions on power plant emissions, the nation's single largest source of carbon-dioxide emissions.
The president's plan also includes new steps to increase energy efficiency and promote the use of renewable fuels, aides say, in an executive branch move likely to be challenged by Republicans and some industries, the New York Times reports today.
Obama is already facing criticism for bypassing Congress, which is unlikely to approve any significant legislation tackling climate change. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., immediately called the effort "a national energy tax" because it may increase the cost of some energy, particularly electricity generated from coal.
To help sell the climate action plan the public, Obama tweeted a video from the White House account on Monday afternoon.
"We'll need all of us, as citizens, to do our part to preserve God's creation for future generations -- our forests and waterways, our crop lands and snow-capped peaks," Obama said in the video. "There's no single step that can reverse the effects of climate change. But when it comes to the world we leave our children, we owe it to them to do what we can."

You heard it here first. Both ESPN and slamonline are reporting this.
I still think Dunleavy made the right trade by moving him, but I guess it still makes you wonder.. What is it with our luck?
HOWEVA, in our defense this is his first year of actually making a huge positive impact on a team in terms of wins. Congrats Z-bo, perhaps our fortunes will turn when Griffin gets (and stays- let us pray) healthy.
I don't know if you have news about it but Pau Gasol is making the AllStar according to spanish media. So Kaman will have to wait once again...
About ZBo he definetelly deserved to be an AllStar. He deserved it playing for the Blazers and this year he's the best players in a PO team. Congrats ZBo!!
Good for Z-Bo. Definitely deserved it.
Congrats Zack. He is definitely the X-factor this year for the Griz. With the way the team is heading I'm glad he got picked as an All-Star.
On top of Kaman probably being overlooked by most coaches, our loss and Chris' lack of defense against the Nets certainly hurt his chances.
Congrats to zach! I actually liked his game when he was here. When you think about it he was never really surrounded with talent . He was booted before ROY came to portland.NY was a mess when he went there. Coupled with his off court problems the media and public perception of zbo was not that good.
He is playing team ball and should have made the all-star. More deserving than chris kaman because his team has a better record .
Great job Z-Bo put up numbers that resulted in many wins. Felt like Marc Gasol should of made it too.
I notice it says you're from Spain.. If so, Is Pau "huge" over there like Dirk is in Germany? And do you like him even though you're a Clip fan and thus consequently (probably) despise the Lakers?
I thought it was addition by subtraction. Except, how does trading one of the premier power forwards in the league to open playing time for an unproven rookie equall addition by subtraction. Trading Zbo was subtraction leaving subtraction. We would be better off if he were on our team this year and next year then any free agent we could pick up. NO free agent will sign with a team that loses to New Jersey Nets. Bad trade, mistake dunlevy.
Oh, and have four bigs hurts you how???
Agreed. A much-deserved congratulations to Zach Randolph; his selection to the all-star game is legit.
Get well soon, Griffin; at least you're still more promising than Brand at this point.
First of all, congratulations Zach. Secondly, how the hell can anyone say that trading Z-Bo was a bad move? It was absolutely the right move! It was amazing that Dumbleavy was able to pull it off. How was anybody supposed to know that Griffin was gonna break his knee cap? All while Z-Bo was gonna start the season in the best shape of his career. There is no way anyone couldve predicted that things were gonna turn out this way.
congratz to zack!!!
'grats to snack!
yes. i'd like to say congrats too
Hate to say I told you so.
HOWEVA, in our defense this is his first year of actually making a huge positive impact on a team in terms of wins. Congrats Z-bo, perhaps our fortunes will turn when Griffin gets (and stays- let us pray) healthy.
Get well soon, Griffin; at least you're still more promising than Brand at this point.
the only reason why we didn't succeed with zach is cuz of Dunleavy's coaching style which are set plays are nothing but crap. look at the difference in style of play Memphis likes to get off as many shots as possible becuz they're bound to fall i u keep chucking them and going for the offensive rebound while Dunleavy and his stupid plays like to drain away the clock and get off stupid shots in the end which half the time end up as turnovers.
Z-Bo is a Laker killer with a three and two free throws in the last minute.Mem95-93LAL
What can you say about him, the guy is consistent as they come.
It would be great to see Z-bo kill the Lakers again in a 1st vs. 8th seed playoff matchup.
I have to give Z-bo props. he is the leader of that team and he has proven all the haters wrong. He believed he couldve taken us to the playoffs with camby and Baron. Now he is doing it with a team that is younger and has less talent than us. Z-bo made some clutch shots against the Lakers. If we had known blake would be injured for the whole year, we would not have traded z-bo. Its just ironic that once we trade him he becomes and all star and one of the most important cogs on the grizzlies. Just the way of the clippers I guess.
Let the haters hate. Z-bo keep doing your thing.
I have to agree. I was watching last night's game and they were saying Zach is the most popular, most recognized, and most available ( PR-charity) player on that team. He looks fit, happy, and like a leader out there.
I still stand by opinion that it was the thing to do but how would we have been if he had started the season with this team?
At the same time, how bad would we have been without a bench? Uh, we have some pieces but does anyone really think Telfair ( injured all the time), Rasual ( as consistent as a broken clock), and Rhino ( like him) was worth the trade?
Some teams have 7-8 man rotations and succeed...could we have been one of them? hmmmmm????
^^^ If Blake had played, we'd be over .500 and no one would begrudge trading Z-bo. Just bad luck on our part.
I've been one of the most outspoken Z-bo haters. It's rare to see a leopard change his spots, but look at how much he's changed and how many of those changes were firsts for him... He actually worked on his body in the off-season rather than just getting fatter, a career first. He's gone almost a full year now without getting suspended or arrested (that's not a joke). That's also a first. Who could have predicted such a transformation?
I mean, who would believe it if Iverson said he was going to become a pass-first PG? Or if Sheed Wallace said he would stop complaining to refs? No one...
Few believed Z-bo could transform himself the way he has. I certainly didn't.
Even still, I have no regrets about the trade. If used properly, with the addition of Griffin, that cap space will be more valuable than Z-bo would have been. Add to that, Z-bo is heading toward the end of a long, lucrative contract. He's young and wants another one. Most players are always on their best behavior at those times, Stephan Marbury excluded... Who's to say Z-bo won't go out drinking and driving the moment he signs his next deal... Or stops his off-season workouts.
I think his motivation was largely due to the trade. He really wanted to be here. I think he used that to his benefit.
My only problem with the cap space is what we do with it. If we don't get something in the vicinity of what Z-Bo can do in terms of an All-Star, then the cap space and money wasn't valuable at all.
I think Rasual was a bad trade. I'm still on the fence on Telfair, and I really like Rhino. Right now, Memphis came out as winners...Jury is still out on us but it doesn't look good.
^^^ I agree... I do think if Griffin hadn't gotten hurt, the trade would have gone down as a win/win for both teams... And if we end up doing right with the cap space, I still think it can be a big win for us.
It's crazy because i dont think the Grizz expected to be a playoff team with their current squad. Marc Gasol is one the nicest upcoming C's in the game. That Pau Gasol trade doesnt look so bad at hindsight. Can you imagine if they didnt waste that pick on Thabeet and drafted Tyreke Evans or brandon Jennings?
As for our team, I still think we are one player away to becoming a playoff team. Just a solid consistent SF.

Whether it's Mitt Romney hiding his personal profits in secret bank accounts, or major corporations doing the same thing, I find it reprehensible. These people are takers, contributing little to the country that made them rich.
That's one of the reasons why I support Rep. Richie Neal for Congress. For years, he's sponsored a bill to close tax loopholes that allow foreign insurance companies to shift their U.S. profits to offshore havens to avoid paying taxes. What's more, they gain a competitive edge over American insurance companies in the process.
I say, "Go get 'em Richie." It's time for Romney and all corporations to pay their fair share.

A black former cook at Lone Star Steakhouse in Bangor Township who alleged co-workers showed him a noose inside the eatery has agreed to a cash settlement with the restaurant chain.
Joe Hill, 34, of Bay City, who quit his job at the eatery several weeks ago, said he stands to get money from the eatery at 4107 E. Wilder Road in Bangor Township.
Hill, a father of six children, said he hasn't received the money yet, and both he and his lawyer, Southfield attorney Paul Broschay, declined to disclose the amount of the payout.
Hill's mother, Lewis M. "Marie" Hill of Bay City, said her son reached the agreement Tuesday, but added that he won't become wealthy from the payoff.
"That won't happen - not with all them babies he's got," Marie Hill said.
Broschay said he and attorneys for Lone Star reached a deal before Joe Hill filed any lawsuit in connection with the noose incident on April 12. The Times could not reach Lone Star representatives for comment.
Joe Hill claims a rope noose hung in the restaurant's boiler room for several days, said he shot a photo of it and claims the eatery's general manager refused to take it down.
Only days later, Lone Star fired three workers - including the general manager - in connection with the possible hate crime.
Marie Hill said her son quit his job at the restaurant a few weeks ago, and chose to settle now to keep income flowing to his kids.
"He said 'I gotta go ahead and settle, because I gotta pay this child support,'" Marie Hill said.
Karla D. Smith, helping organize the Sept. 7 Unity Picnic to celebrate diversity in Bay City, praised Lone Star for its "prompt response" in firing the three workers.
Smith, community education coordinator for the YWCA of Bay County, said Lone Star has agreed to provide food and labor for the upcoming Unity Picnic.
The Times could not confirm that with workers at the Lone Star eatery in Bangor Township, or with Lone Star corporate officials.
But Smith said Lone Star employees will grill hamburgers and hot dogs for about 400 picnic guests, a donation - considering food and labor - worth several thousand dollars.
There's no cost to attend the picnic, at Wenonah Park along the Saginaw River on Bay City's East Side. The event also features the first "Kids' Races Against Racism," where children ages 3 to 14 receive free T-shirts, snacks and ribbons by running races of varying distances.
Joe Hill told The Times that several current workers at Lone Star's Bangor Township location have made accusations against him.
"They're trying to make allegations that I staged this (noose incident)," Joe Hill said. "Only the managers have the key to that boiler room. I've never been in that room before in my life."
Joe Hill also criticized the Bay County Sheriff's Department, saying it hasn't taken his claim seriously. Hill filed a police report with the department several days after he shot the photo of the noose.
"I haven't talked to no police officers, no FBI agents, nothing," Hill said. "They haven't interviewed me. I'm very upset with the local authorities and with (Bay County Sheriff) John Miller.
"I have no respect for him any more."
Workers at Bay City's FBI office declined to comment about the case. Sandra R. Berchtold of the FBI's Detroit field office said she couldn't confirm whether the agency is investigating Hill's allegations.
Sheriff Miller, however, said his office has turned over the case to the FBI.
"We determined this was a complaint better handled by the FBI, which handles civil-rights and discrimination complaints like this," Miller said.
Miller said he's sorry Joe Hill is upset, but noted "We didn't blow him off - we took him very seriously."
Joe Hill said law-enforcement officials may not appreciate his allegations of racism because of his past. He said that as a younger man he was the leader of the Gangster Disciples, a Bay City gang.
He said he left the gang 14 years ago.
"Now I try to get young people out of the gangs," he said.
Marie Hill claims that following the noose incident, Lone Star managers instructed employees to say only "Good Morning" or "Good Evening" to Joe Hill, and nothing more.
"He'd been working there for three years and all of a sudden, they'd speak to him only if he spoke to them," Marie Hill said. "He said he couldn't work like that, not after three years there.
"One girl had confided in him with some problems. Now she just had to walk around him and hold her head down and look at the floor. That just bothered Joe, because Joe is the kind of person who always likes to help people."

Who is your choice for the Cubs' Opening Day 2012 starter?
a. Ryan Dempster
b. Matt Garza
c. Paul Maholm
d. Someone Else (Who?)
Elizabeth Pearson stumbled upon VFTB around 2006, and enjoys encouraging conversation among the wide variety of readers brought together by their love of the Cubs. She's married, has a Cub-loving pug named Phinneaus, and enjoys biking, hiking, cooking and gardening. She calls Chesterton, Indiana home and hopes to one day retire on Mackinac Island. Connect with Lizzie via email or Instagram.
Don't much care, but I'd pick Garza if I was calling the shots.
Randy Wells or Matt Garza. Garza would be my 1st choice since he is our 'Ace' now. But Randy finished the season out pretty strong and that's why I'd throw him into to convo.
Assuming Garza's still around, I'm going for him. Why? He's the best we got, plus, I REALLY want to see him pitch and I managed a ticket to opening day
@cheezy – You gave me a chuckle because I completely forgot about Randy Wells. That's probably saying something! Good catch though!
@Deezer congrats! Wave to us! :-)
Currently I'm going with Garza, but I think there's still a good chance he gets traded before Opening Day.
Dempster. His is a weird delivery and I've seen him both times I got to Cubs games here in DC. If he is on his game he could win the season opener.
I think spring training will help iron this out but we can't wait for that to start dreaming about opening day.
I will have died and gone to heaven to ever have seats to opening day anywhere.
Garza if he isn't traded, Dempster if he is.
Deezer – How did you get a ticket to opening day if tickets aren't on sale yet?
I'd go with Garza.
Some here have said they think Dempster has already started his downward slide. It's possible, but I'm not convinced yet.
I get the feeling he put extra pressure on himself at the beginning of last year. After a rough April he kept us in about 80% of his games after that. Maybe being out of the number one slot, he won't put extra pressure on himself.
b) and hoping that he signs a 3-4 year deal before opening day.
If he gets trades Dempster, simply because he has been around so long.
You want to give 3-4 more years to Dempster? I like him, but he is not worthy of that kind of contract
9IP, 5 hits, 2 unearned runs 5k, 1BB for the W
2 for 4 with an RBI
Having great fun in AZ with the Capn and Seymour
Keep the lines coming Raker! Updates for Cap, Sey, you, and Berg would be awesome. Have fun fellas…
Seymour played a solid 3rd base in the victory while the Cap'n added an RBI himself and played some solid defense at ss doing his best left handed Starlin Castro impression any lefty could do. The Cap'n also started on the mound in game 1 and did a fine job going 7 innings striking out 7 in a tough loss. We go against the vaunted Blue Sox today and will look to do an Aram today and gather some numbers.
You guys need a 2B or OF? One of these days I will have to join. I played 2B and OF for 3 years
Always room for more players.
Some year soon, I hope to be part of this
If' he's traded then Chuck Rainey.
I second the Chuck Rainey nomination.
Garza if he is still a Cubbie . If not go with Wells !!
If Garza is still around it's a no-brainer. I guess if he's gone I would go with Dempster, as he is somewhat less mediocre than the rest of the Cubs rotation.

"He gave a very clear yes -- he's very excited," Reed's father told the station.

Gwen L. Dubois' rant about nuclear energy is filled with half-truths and innuendo that intentionally make it difficult to rationally discuss nuclear energy ("No more Fukushimas," March 19).
First, nuclear plants in the United States are designed to withstand the worst possible events in their geographic areas, and those in Japan may not have been. Since the accident at Fukushima, backup power supplies for U.S. plants have been substantially strengthened where needed, and other actions are now being implemented based on a recent Nuclear Regulatory Commission assessment. Reactors already have to withstand the worst earthquakes an area can experience, despite the nonsense Dubois writes. And, despite her inferences, the spent fuel pools came through the accident in Japan without having the spent fuel rods overheat, so we already can see those concerns are unwarranted.
The bottom line is that probably more than 20,000 people died from events in Japan, and now health experts tell us that it is likely no one will die from radiation from the damaged nuclear plants. We certainly cannot allow such an accident as occurred at Fukushima to occur here or anywhere else. But overall nuclear energy remains a safe and economical option in this country, and we are fortunate that the response to Fukushima here has been, with exceptions like Dubois, overwhelmingly rational.

Burglars strip Eke home
Wairarapa Times-Age
11 February 2011
Eketahuna Senior Constable Earl Fincham said a house near the town centre was broken into some time between January 25 and 26.
A long list of items was stolen, including a television, telephones, a toaster, slow cooker and the contents of the freezer.
Bedspreads, towels and cutlery were also taken, with Mr Fincham saying it seemed like someone might be "setting up a house".
"Obviously, all the stuff could be someone going flatting."
He said the woman who owned the house had been away at the time, but better communication or neighbourly vigilance might have helped to stop the burglary.
Neighbourhood Support Masterton co-ordinator Sam Andrews-Paul said she was not aware of a Neighbourhood Support group in Eketahuna.
She said the beauty of the system was in its simplicity, with email helping to connect people quickly and easily.
"People can say 'Hey, I'm away for the next couple of days, can you watch my house, please.'
"It's not something where we want to have a big group meeting or anything."
She said an Eketahuna chapter of the organisation could be set up if there was a willingness to start one.
Anyone with information relating to the burglary is asked to phone Mr Fincham at Eketahuna police station on (06) 375 8277.

Debate has focused on whether it's safe, and perhaps even advantageous, for children to walk to school, as well as whether taxpayers should be responsible for busing, or if getting children to school falls squarely on parents.
From k12athome:
Maybe a bunch of kids in the neighborhood can come out of their houses and actually walk together to school! That is the way we used to do it, and yes, we crossed a highway as busy as 202 to get there. The kids in my neighborhood are driven 1/10th of a mile to the bus stop. I'm not kidding, beautiful day like today, you can see the bus stop from my driveway and the people across the street from me drive their kid there. No wonder the kids are all pudgy!
Walking school bus - couple of parents, bunch of kids. Or just drive the kid across 202, then drop them off and let them walk the rest of the way.
Free Range Kids - what a concept!
From slimwest1:
These posts are very funny! A lot of people on here who are either too young to have children or have selective memory about our state taxes. My favorites are the "when I was young" or "back in the 60s and 70s." Quick lesson for all you people in the closet...back in the 60s and 70s there was no state income tax. In 1976 the state income tax was created to provide services and equality in public schools. Almost 70% of the taxes I pay to live in this fine state go to the school system. That's about $7000 a year to send my child to a "free" public school. Is it too much to expect that my child gets busing to school? Also remember that "when I was young" there was only one parent working per household, things were generally easier. This isn't about saying people shouldn't have children because they can't care for them. This is about local towns finding a way to raise individual taxes after homeowners already paid for public schools. But keep up the uneducated comments...it is fun reading.
From exit14:
Will the affected parents band together and remove funding for other services? Do you really need that senior jitney? Will pressure on the local council remove any senior citizen discounts on property taxes? It is changes like this that polarize a community instead of bringing it together.
My final two cents.. removing the buses gives a lot of teens the 'excuse' that Mom & Dad should allow them to drive to school. Other teens will be walking through neighborhoods they normally don't.. all children find mischief at some point.. this is going to increase vandalism reports to the PD, and as kids find "short cuts" through yards with pools or dogs - injuries will increase. Maybe.. this can be an opportunity for cooperation. If the school board requires parents to participate in fund raisers.. and are indentured into "volunteering" to help the team / school.. why not make it town-wide? Require every town resident to "volunteer" for one day of service to the community. Those already locked into hot-dog duty or coaching do this now. Maybe the rest of the town can pitch in on other projects or concerns that benefit all. Maybe.. as part of the school contract process.. vendors are making profits by getting the exclusive contract to sell your school uniforms, team jerseys, or cafeteria food. Could we add a provision that gives a partial tax credit or some other incentive when a vendor "donates" some of that money back to help fund the football team or a school bus?
We need to find cooperative solutions.. not fight over who each dollar belongs to.
