The $21 billion State Employees' Credit Union credits its Mortgage Assistance Program for helping it keep the increase in foreclosures to just six basis points over the last five years.
The MAP program has helped over 7000 North Carolinians stay in their homes through a mixture of member awareness programs, mortgage extensions, modifications, refinances and partial payment alternatives, the CU said.
"State Employees' Credit Union always strives to put the interests of its members first. MAP is an excellent example of putting this member-focused approach into practice," said Spencer Scarboro, senior vice president of mortgage lending at SECU. "Foreclosure is never a quick answer at our Credit Union. That's why SECU is committed to exhausting every possible option to keep members in their homes and foreclosures at a minimum. It is the right thing to do for the member - prudent and compassionate - and the financially responsible course for their credit union cooperative."
When announcing the program's success, SECU also made a point of touting that it is much more careful with loan paperwork than many other mortgage lenders have apparently been.

Following Chelsea's 3-0 win over Valencia, which saved them from Champions League elimination, manager Andre Villas-Boas could not issue a verbal riposte to the media.
The press have spent the past few weeks hinting that the Portuguese boss would not last long in the job, having fallen well behind Premier League leaders Manchester City and scraping through their group in Europe.
Villas-Boas greeted those same members of the press and had a pop back at them, saying: "We've been continually chased by different kinds of people, but today we've given everybody (those critics) a slap in the face.
"We have become your target, we have to accept it. Tomorrow, it's unfortunate for you guys because you'll have to report on a brilliant win for Chelsea and finishing first.
"Tomorrow is difficult for you guys. I'll never pick a fight with you guys."
In honour of AVB's biting back at the media, here are five more managers who have not been afraid to have a go back at the hacks.

Here's one way citizens can get active. via Letter: Shariah threat is real » The Commercial Appeal.
The new appointee to Gov. Bill Haslam's Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development is Samar Ali, a devout Muslim. Her credentials reach deeply into Islamic Shariah law, most troubling of which is her former position in the Hogan Lovells international law firm, which has had in its employ such "eminent Shariah scholars" as the Muslim Brotherhood's Sheikh al-Qaradawi, an extremist radical Muslim.
For what purpose are Shariah finance laws needed within Tennessee or American government? Shariah is exclusionary, radical and contrary to American law and is ethnically driven. Let Muslims comply with our laws and our Constitution, not the other way around. They are in America.
Additionally, is Ali to impose Shariah law on the state departments of Children's Services or Safety and Homeland Security, for which the governor has given her the status of "nongovernmental partner"? The good governor has alienated his loyal constituents who put him in office.
I am no longer one of those constituents.
Bravo. Put elected officials on notice. Call them out in a professional, informed, fact-based manner. Put them on notice. Particularly when they double down on sharia as Haslam has:
Governor Bill Haslam says he has not spoken with the Muslim woman whose job with the state has drawn the ire of several county Republican parties. But Haslam has strong praise for the state's international director in Economic and Community Development, Samar Ali.
Some county Republican groups have passed resolutions against Haslam, saying they worry Ali is an inroad for spreading Sharia law in state government. Haslam defended her at an event in Dickson.
"She's a product of not very far from here, in Waverly, Tennessee, where she was most likely to succeed in her class, a member of the 4-H. Her dad is a colonel in the Tennessee National Guard. This is somebody that's very Tennessee, and I think maybe the important thing to recognize is this is somebody who could have a lot of great jobs in a lot of places."
She's also someone who could establish aspects of sharia law in Tennessee. Previous posts on Ali:

Rueben, turkey club, BLT—sandwiches are an American classic. While long a staple of the home kitchen, in recent years sandwiches have become the foundation of lunch and dinner menus at restaurants of all kinds. Today, consumers are purchasing more sandwiches away from home than ever. They are sitting down to eat them at all times of the day, but they're also ordering more grab-and-go options as well. One reason sandwiches are growing is because operators are serving up creative ...

Luxurious Ancient Wind Mill sleeps 4. Gorgeous Views, Heated Pool, Tennis.
Near Carcassonne, in the small Languedoc village of Montlaur, two ancient Mills. Described by the Times Online as one of 31 most unusual holiday homes in Europe:
... 'Sit outside to watch the sunset as your nostrils fill with the aroma of mint and lavender'. ....
Historically interesting 13th century stone Windmills. Charmingly renovated, open-plan, providing a fabulous holiday home for 4 people in each mill.
We put a complementary bottle of our own traditionally made red wine in your Mill for you. From Grenache Noir grapes in our small adjoining vineyard.
More info on the website of the Pointed Roof Mill at http://www.la-couscouillette.com/pointedroofmill.htm
The website of the Sloping Roof Mill is at

Here is a video of of the interior and the grounds outside the Sloping Roof Mill on YouTube at
You can't get more unique than these Medieval Mills. Small but perfectly equiped in the gorgeous setting of unspoilt Mediterranean nature they provide a holiday you will never forget.
Luxurious, heated swimming pool May till Oct. ! Near air temperature! Private grass tennis court, not Wimbledon of course. Home made and very bumpy! football goals on tennis court. English satelite TV. Barbecue available.
10 acre domain of glorious countryside, on a hill, private, yet at the edge of a small village in Aude, magnificent views. Beautiful sunsets with our Camargue horse outlined against the horizon.
Dating to 13th century, one of the first windmills in the South of France.
Our pets, little dogs, cats, parrots, horse and chickens.
Fantastic walking and in beautiful unspoilt nature.
Gastronomic delights in the region are numerous. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the luxury of world famous French Cuisine at very reasonable prices.
Exciting new Italian restaurant called 'Bourdasso' in a Chateau just down the road.
Around the Mills: The ancient miller's house, where we live, is near the mills. Our ten acres of 'garigue' surrounding the mills has wild thyme, rosemary, mint and lavender among many other plants growing wild and has supposedly medicinal properties. It certainly emits a gorgeous perfume. We have our own little vineyard. You will be given a complimentary bottle of our delicious red wine. Grown and prepared in the ancient classical way!
We have dogs, cats, chickens , a horse, and parrots. So, though we adore animals you will not be able to bring yours. Our little dogs, Lolita and William, both Coton de Tulears, adore visitors and will welcome you to our grounds. For more photos of 'La Couscouillette' as our country estate is called, and stories about our animals please click http://www.la-couscouillette.com. Golf at 25 minutes from the mills at Carcassonne nearby the famous Cite Medieval
Village Activities: The friendly, wine producing village provides walks, excursions and village open air dances and (occasionally) meals in the summer. The small supermarket, there's a butcher, post office and pharmacy. Our lovely old horse is a Camargue and very friendly, loves to be given bread and carrots. Not suitable for riding but horses can be sometimes be rented locally.
Fantastic sightseeing: for instance the famous Medieval Walled City of Carcassonne is reached in 25 minutes. There are beautful abbeys nearby and of course the Cathar Castles, from the early Middle Ages, are worth a visit. In fact, the mill itself dates from the Cathar period (1266) and is probably the first windmill in the South of France.
Drive through beautiful countryside to the Dinosaur museum at Esperaza. It's at an hour's drive from here and it will take you back 70 million years.
In 1988 Allan and I moved here permanently. He carried on teaching his students abroad via video conferencing (Physics Prof) and lecturing occasionally as well as doing research. I stopped my Clinical Psychology Psychotherapy practice and went in for spinning, weaving, goats, horses, chickens, gardening etc. This 'back to nature' period left us with the chickens (eggs!), 1 old horse, a vineyard (wine) and a beautiful wooded area around the Mills, having planted almost 1000 trees.
Details for holiday chateau / country house Pointed Roof Mill, 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, 1 Bathroom

Like a paradise
We had 11 wonderful days at the Pointed Roof Mill. Our hosts were extremly friendly as well as Willy, the sweet little dog, visiting us from time to time. The garden area is like a well kept park. The pool was of good relief, because the summerdays were of unusual heat. The mills are very extraordinary, a perfect place to stay, when your seeking quietness and a time off of your usual allday living.
We very much want to come back. Thanks a lot to Margret and Allan who by the way sell their own tasteful wine. And thanks as well for the eggs.
fantastic 3 weeks
Three fantastic weeks for all of us (two adults and three little girls). Relaxing days at the pool, wonderful trips to the coastline, to wonderful villages, castles, and wineyards. Margaret and Allen, thank you very much.We would love to come back.
Great get away!
Excellent location for a family holiday, children enjoyed the pool and the helping out with the animals. Accomodation had everything we needed. Carcassonne is a short drive away and certainly worth a visit. We had a great time and would certainly go back.
Sloping Roof Windmill
Two of us stayed for a very enjoyable week at the Sloping Roof Windmill in May. Owners on hand were helpful but discrete. Views from the site are breathtaking. The pool is immaculately maintained. The mill itself is `cosy` and had everything we needed - even fresh eggs on demand ! Not sure we would have liked it as much with 4 people in the mill, but for 2 it was fine. The road up to the mill is somewhat steep & `tight` and not for the faint-hearted but this added to the adventure of staying in a 13thC Windmill ! We lunched at a different restaurant each day in the area and never had a bad meal. All in all an excellent stay for us.
A place to get away from it all
When I found this rental online, the history and location sounded so appealing. After contacting the owner, and making the deposit, I was happily surprised at how easy it was to plan this trip. The owner sent me information on the windmills, the surrounding property and village, so we were well prepared and found the property quite easily.
Montlaur is located about half an hour from Carcassone, making it a central spot for touring the area by car. The windmills are perched on a hilltop over the small village and has the most fantastic views, especially sunsets.
Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate and we had rain and high winds for half of our stay in early May. However, that did not stop us from walking around the property which still maintains that natural rugged openness from years gone by.
The owners were most accommodating and made us feel very welcomed with fresh eggs and wine. The new pool was inviting (although not quite warm enough while we were there) and we did dangle our legs in the water and enjoyed the sun on the deck when it did make its appearance.
There are two lovely horses and two dogs which we thoroughly enjoyed visiting with. The horses are allowed a free run on their fenced area and it was thrilling to watch them and the neighbouring horses running along the hills.
The windmill itself was very quaint and cosy. There were four of us (two couples) sharing the mill which has the kitchen and dining area on the ground level. The kitchen had modern appliances and was stocked with every cooking utensil needed.
Climbing up the curved steps was a bit of a challenge especially with luggage, and I made sure to hold on to the bannister, so I wouldn't recommend this property to anyone with leg or back problems.
The bedrooms were very basic and tiny, but we expected that. There was one bathroom on the middle floor which was tiny but adequate with the most fascinating window and view! The double bed was a futon type and adequate. The top floor had two twin beds with very basic furnishings.
Overall, the property is ideal for a couple or a young family (not babies or toddlers though) or very close friends as there is a lot of space sharing! I personally liked the property but my husband found it a bit cramped. He admits if the weather had been better, he would have enjoyed it more. My girlfriend and I would like to return one day for a ladies week bringing our cameras to capture the breathtaking area.
Erholung pur, Platz für Kinder, super freundlich
Unsere Anreise am Samstag vor Pfingsten konnten wir Dank der guten Internetbetreuung durch Magaret perfekt planen. Schließlich waren am Sonntag und Montag die Geschäfte geschlossen. Bei der Ankunft erwartete uns Sonne pur, ein Vorgeschmack auf die kommenden Tage. Manchmal war es etwas stürmisch auf dem Mühlenberg, aber das konnte man sich ja schon denken. Wo baut man wohl eine Windmühle? Magaret und Allan haben die Freifläche mit vielen Bäumen bepflanzt, so dass man jederzeit einen windstillen Platz finden kann.
Wir hatten die "Pointed Roof Mill" angemietet, was für uns Drei (Mama, Papa und Sohn) sehr gut war, denn der Stauraum ist doch sehr begrenzt. So konnten wir das eine freie Bett unterm Dach als Ablagefläche mit benutzen. Unser Sohn nahm gleich den Dachbereich als sein Domizil in Beschlag und liebte es vom ersten Tag an. Wir waren in der Zwischenebene auch sehr zufrieden, denn das Klappbett ist sehr bequem.
Gegessen haben wir immer draußen. Jede Mühle hat schließlich seine eigene Terasse und wenn der Wind zu stark geweht hat, haben wir uns einfach einen anderen windstillen Ort gewählt.
Wer Tiere mag und keine Berührungsängste hat ist bei Margaret und Allan wirklich am richtigen Ort.
Jeden Morgen ist unser Sohn mit Allan unterwegs gewesen und hat die Tiere gefüttert, den Pool gesäubert und seine Englischkentnisse verbessern können. Im Gegenzug hat Allan geduldig all die deutschen Informationen versucht zu verarbeiten und wir haben manchesmal gemeinsam gelacht.
Der Poolbereich bietet für jeden den richtigen Platz. Sonnenhungrige wie schattenliebende können es sich jederzeit gut gehen lassen.
Und auch wenn die zweite Mühle bewohnt ist, hat es sich gezeigt, dass jeder genügend Freiraum hat um sich entspannen zu können.
Wenn wir erschöpft von einem Ausflug am Abend zurückgekommen sind, war die Erfrischung im Pool ein absolutes MUSS.
Der Tennisplatz ist wirklich holprig, so wie es auch beschrieben ist. Wir haben trotzdem oft gespielt und herzhaft gelacht über die komischsten Situationen die sich ergeben haben. Außerdem haben wir Fußball, Basketball und Boule auf diesem Platz gespielt. Genug Bewegung für alle.
Für unseren Sohn war das beste Ferienerlebnis jedoch, dass Allan mit ihm gemeinsam ein neues Zugangstor zur Koppel von Dumpy gebaut hat.
Das Fazit zu diesem Urlaub ist: "Wir waren super erholt, haben wirklich nette und liebevolle Menschen kennengelernt und können "La Cascouilette" jederzeit weiter empfehlen".
Dank an Magaret und Allan
From the Owner
"These Mills are extremely unique. Historically as well as beauty and comfort wise. Built during the Cathar Wars in 1260 the 'Couscouillette Mills' are described in a book researched at the turn of the last century by a Catholic Priest delving in ancient annals at a nearby Abbey, the book was recently republished, La Couscouillette fills a chapter. But as well as the important history, the positioning of this domain, on top of a hill with beautiful views and surrounded by 10 acres of countryside, including our little vineyard is unbeatable. We put a complementary bottle of our own traditionally made red wine in your Mill for you. From Grenache Noir grapes in our small adjoining vineyard."

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Carstea Organizer These are made well! Very sturdy! I've always loved the the white plastic ones for years but they get dingy looking over time. These clear plastic will probably hold up better.my only complaint is the outside circle is that you can't put larger items on it.they don't fit! April 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Hairsbychristine Best Lazy Susan Ever! This lazy Susan fits all of my products in one convenient place, easily accessible for my use as a Hairstylist! I would recommend this to anyone who wants more organization in their lives! LOVE IT! March 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by HollaE amazing I ordered this for my table! It was the perfect size and it went so well with it. So happy with it! March 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by 4family Perfect Perfect to keep spices in your cabinet not only organized but easily accessible. I purchased 2 but I think I'm going to get 2 more for pantry. May 4, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Trigger Great Quality Turntables I bought two of these turntables to organize my cosmetics in my bathroom cabinet. I just love them! They are really high quality, rotate smoothly, and make it so much easier for me to locate the products I need. These cost a little more than the ones you might find in a discount store, but are of much higher quality and worth the extra cost. I donated my cheaper ones to charity. April 28, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ktravel09 Perfect spice organizer! I could never find the spices I had in my cabinet, and with the shelves being a little tight, I couldn't fit in other organizers, but this lazy susan did the trick! It easily fit into my cupboard & works pefectly (and bonus, it's super easy to clean!). Would highly recommend this for any kitchen organizer! April 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Cateuy Very functional Fit perfectly in small kitchen cabinet to make spices easier to see and access. April 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by HWilson So Useful! This fit right into my kitchen cabinet and makes finding vitamins/medicine MUCH easier! March 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by aln05b This is perfect for spices or other small items that are cluttering up your pantry! May 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SpokaneLeanne Like another reviewer noted, it's good for bottles, but not big bottles. I needed one for vinegar(s), oils, tabasco, etc. Most fit, but some do not. It spins very smoothly, and still works for most of what I need it for. I have a wire shelf pantry, and it sits level. I wish they made one slightly bigger that has the platform in the middle. May 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by SalPal Love it I love this. I can now get all my spices where I can see them. The inside part will hold 5-6 spice bottles. Highly recommend April 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jaminal Spins well. Sturdy enough to hold lots of things This item is very sturdy and able to hold many bottles. The size however won't let you hold bigger bottles, so those will need to be stored on the side. April 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Red7 Handy Product This is a great product and very handy. I have several turntables and use them in the kitchen for spices, vitamins and condiments and in my bathroom for haircare products. This product allows you to locate what you need quickly and save space in your cabinets. May 27, 2010
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Butterfly66 Love it! This helps me see everything I use and I love organizing my spices, because it makes cooking a little easier! May 21, 2010

Now that I've finished my local (San Diego) and state (California) ballot proposition blog entries, I can move onto the presidential election debate. Hopefully, this will be one of the last political posts of the political season and I can get back to random, technology, and programming blogging…
Note: You can read my state and local proposition blogs by clicking on the local politics categories on the side of the page.
For the record, I've been able to vote in four presidential elections since I turned 18 (1992, 1996, 2000, and 2004). I was a bit young and unconcerned with politics in my first two elections (1992 and 1996). I was deployed overseas somewhere in the Arabian Gulf region during the 1996 election and I was a little bit busy and still a bit unconcerned. I did vote in the last two presidential elections, but I didn't vote for Democrat or Republican. One year, I voted for an independent (err… I mean someone that wasn't a Republican or Democrat) and most recent election I just wrote in my vote for 'none of the above'.
Friends have stated that I threw away my votes there, but the state I was living in at the time (California) went pretty heavy democratic, but I still feel that I wasn't being responsible enough to dive deeper into politics and choose either a turd sandwich or a douche (South Park reference, view full episode).
After spending the last few years more involved in politics, I now believe that candidates aren't just choices between the turd sandwich or a douche. It's just the political cycle and the 24-hour news cycle that surrounds the countdown to the election. Two years ago, the same politicians were out doing work and saying the same things they are saying now. However, only they weren't being repeated on the news channels 24 hours which turns them into the turd sandwiches and douches.
I also believe that as election draws near, people begin to cluster into groups and their delusions, positions, feelings, and perceived truths sway more into the extremes. Some people sway a bit too far into the extremes, while others that are less interested or moderates just move a bit further away from centrist and moderate ideas into the hardened partisan demagogy and ideology.
Social psychologists have conducted scores of these "group polarization" experiments since the '60s, and they all come to the same finding: Like-minded people in a group grow more extreme in the way they are like-minded.
— Bill Bishop at Slate.com on Psychology studies of '60s
Blogging about Politics
My Background
I became more interested in politics a couple years ago when I began discussing politics more with a friend. We'd throw around our ideas and impressions of various political schemes or direction. I'd watch all of the Sunday political shows (Hard Ball with Chris Matthews and Meet The Press with Tim Russet being the two most watched). So I owe my friend a little for helping wake up my conscience about politics and the world.
Before the presidential primaries got underway in early 2007, I thought that both Senator Obama and Senator McCain would be the best representation of their parties. I remember saying that I had hoped they would end up as the candidates since both of them (individually before the parties and others got involved) seem to be good and decent politicians.
My Political Leanings
Like many that fondly remember the 80s, I was raised and grew aware of politics under President Regan. I still remember sitting in front of the TV watching the news of his attempted assignation. I wasn't too much interested in politics then — but as a kid, who is really interested in politics anyways.
I believe that my initial indoctrination was as a conservative. That might be due to my culturally southern upbringing combined with my first few years of adulthood spent in the military. I enlisted under Bush (41) after the first Gulf War and served under Clinton. I've never been registered with any political party. However, if I had been asked, I would have probably stated that I was a Republican.
As I grew older, I became both better educated (finishing college and graduate school many, many years after high school), better informed (by reading lots and lots of books about religion, philosophies, etc.), and more exposed to other countries, cultures, and religions (mainly due to military and then DoD-related contracting work afterwards), I believe that my views began to shift from middle-right leftwards towards the center. Moving to California also pushed me a bit more to the left, probably due to the whole group mentality mentioned above.
Now, I consider myself a moderate and I am pretty comfortable here. On the two key attributes, I lean towards being socially liberal (tolerance) and fiscal conservative (responsible) with a little bit of libertarian (citizen rights). That doesn't necessarily line me up with either party in the classic sense of the terms. I am not a big versus small government idealist. We don't live in an ideal world, so we can't live without government. I believe we just need it to work responsibly and effective.
Most of the political tests that I've taken either list me as a moderate (WashingtonPost Facebook Political Compass app) or as a left-leaning libertarian (Political Compass).
It's interesting to note that I'm closer to Ralph Nadar than either the democratic or republican party candidates. I really don't agree with this polling or assessment — I think there's a handful of questions there where you need to give a Agree/Disagree response where I would otherwise have taken more of a Neutral stance. I do agree that I am more libertarian than authoritarian, but I don't agree that I'm that far to the left. I believe my position on this chart is a bit off center is based on a several questions that automatically shift me towards the left (tolerant) and libertarian (less government involvement). Also, based on other charts of prominent people, I am pretty close to the Dalai Lama.
On Leaning Right…
I believe that in the last few years, the Republican Party has swerved away from being fiscally conservative. The only thing the Republicans have left is being socially conservative — which I'm not. I also believe that the term "socially conservative" is now even more limited and restrictive than it was 20 years ago, since a large majority of social conservatives have taken over the reigns of redefining social conservatism into a more xenophobic and anti-tolerant group.
Even recently in the economic problem, the Republican presidential candidate proposed to add more government involvement in the market — that goes against nearly all of the capitalistic and small-government tenets of a historically defined fiscal conservative and capitalist.
Right now, I feel that most Republicans might be embarrassed to be associated the the party due to the lack of intellect being demonstrated by those that call themselves social conservatives. Seeing that most of the moderate and fiscally conservative republicans are now leaning towards or supporting the Democratic candidate in the race, whereas the far-right social conservatives are continuing to embarrass themselves, their religion, and their party.
After Christopher Buckley (republican and former writer of the National Review) came out in support of the democrat candidate (Sorry, Dad, I'm Voting for Obama), he resigned from the magazine that his father founded. He explains why he resigned stating (Sorry, Dad, I was fired) :
So, I have been effectively fatwahed (is that how you spell it?) by the conservative movement, … But then, conservatives have always had a bit of trouble with the concept of diversity. The GOP likes to say it's a big-tent. Looks more like a yurt to me.
I haven't left the Republican Party. It left me."
I feel that the Republican Party has also left me. I used to be around 45/55 between Democratic Party and Republican Party (leaning right). Today, I'm leaning more around 65/35 (leaning left), that 20 point shift is mostly because I feel that the Republican Party has moved too far to the social conservative right and the Democrats has seemingly (by relative comparison to the Republicans) moved towards the fiscally conservative right.
On Leaning Left…
I believe that the Democratic Party (since Clinton) has shifted a bit to the right towards the center on the financial issues. I believe that is a bit subjective, since the Republican Party has been in charge the last 7 of 8 years (both President and congress). Currently, I'd consider that both parties are pretty close when you weight their current positions (not historical) on economic matters. The biggest difference between the two parties now are the social issues and there's not much difference between the presidential candidates on those issues.
The left (historically) hasn't always been the socially liberal (or inclusive versus exclusive) party. That change came back in the 60s and the party almost split over it. You can still see much of that chasm in many of the southern states. It appears that a lot of the dixiecrats were encompassed within the Moral Majority and moved into the Republican Party which helped Regan and Bush (43). (I don't think it helped Bush 41 as much as Regan or Bush 43.)
Both parties talk about regaining some of our deficit. But, if you look over my lifetime (instead of historically), the Democrats have done better with the economy than Republicans, which (to me) is hard to believe, but the charts don't lie.
Christopher Buckley summaries his endorsement of Barack Obama stating:
Eight years of "conservative" government has brought us a doubled national debt, ruinous expansion of entitlement programs, bridges to nowhere, poster boy Jack Abramoff and an ill-premised, ill-waged war conducted by politicians of breathtaking arrogance. As a sideshow, it brought us a truly obscene attempt at federal intervention in the Terry Schiavo case.
— Christopher Buckley, Sorry, Dad, I was fired
There's crazies on the left as well. One of the reason why you don't see them on the news as much as the crazies on the right is that they aren't as dangerous as the far-right. They aren't shouting racial epitaphs, promoting violence against the other party, or shooting at doctors. Sure the left-crazies have crazy ideals and may throw paint on your fur jacket, but I haven't seen any as hate-filled, angry, and wanting to kill the candidate of the other party.
On Not Leaning…
I know that there's good people on both sides of the fence, but unfortunately, there's a party's base they need to identify with. If they veer away from the base to reach the moderates (like me), then they lose the base which they need to win an election.
I still think that either McCain or Obama would make fine presidents. Although, I'd still have wished that McCain would have fared better in the 2000 primaries and ultimately got the party nomination.
My biggest concern for the next president is whether or not they will consider things "outside the box" and be intellectually curious about why things happen and how to fix them. I believe that's been one of the downsides of the current president – the lack of interest and curiosity. The concept of having a president just make decisions after getting a couple briefs from "smart people", I believe that is folly. I believe that the president needs to be more involved in the understanding of the problem in order to fix it.
How to Decide Who to Vote for
I think that single issue voters are really taking the easy road out. Single issue voters don't need to do any due-diligence about the candidates' other positions. More often than not, that single issue doesn't even become relevant to the elected presidential term. Sometimes, a black swan (such as 9/11, economic collapse, a world war) will appear out of nowhere and drive much of the president's policy.
I believe that you should treat your selection for president (or any other political) just like you were able to hire your manager, boss, or CEO. You shouldn't pick anyone based on which party they are affiliated with. Remember that you are hiring someone for 4 years and that you can't fire this person, once you've approved him, then he has a job.
Who I've voted for
Yes, I've already voted. I'm a registered permanent mail-in ballot voter. I get my ballot in the mail, fill it out, put a stamp on it, and mail it back.
So… I've voted for Obama-Biden ticket for president/vice-president.
That's the first time that I've voted for a Democratic presidential candidate, but also the first time that I've felt good about my vote. Although, this is also the only election where I think that the US will do pretty well with either candidate as president. I'm not so confident in one of the VP picks, so let's all just hope that the top of the ticket winner stays at the top for the next four years.

Floyd's girls got closer to a Class 1A state championship than even they expected last year, losing by just three points to Fort Sumner.
The Lady Broncos know winning a state title will be even tougher this year, so coach Sean Wootton wants his squad to just worry about itself.
Cimarron, which dropped down a class this year after winning the 2004 Class 2A crown, is expected to battle Fort Sumner for this year's 1A title.
"Our goal is to beat as many people as we can," Wootton said of this year's meet, scheduled for Friday and Saturday at Albuquerque. "We'll just try to beat all of our personal records for the year.
"If we do that, I think we'll score more than the 37 points I have us figured for."
Senior Noel Carpenter, who won the 1A long jump title as a freshman and outlasted teammate Kelli Johnson to take the 800 at state last year, leads Floyd's nine-person girls entourage. The Lady Broncos are scheduled to compete in 11 events, including all four relays.
Carpenter will run the 800, where she comes in seeded second, and the 300 hurdles, where she's fourth. She's also No. 2 in triple jump going in, and will run on the Lady Broncos' 800 and 1,600 relays, ranked third and fourth.
Wootton expects her to do well.
"Noel's a different kind of athlete," he said. "She's one that if she's in range, she can get anybody."
Junior Rebecca Blue is in three relays and the 200 while Johnson, also a junior, will run the 800, 1,600 and 3,200.
Johnson is unbeaten in all three races this year, but faces some stiff competition.
"It's a little different perspective," Wootton said. "She's been used to being first and hardly having anybody run with her at all. Now she's going to have to chase the entire time."
Floyd's boys are sending five athletes, including a relay alternate. The Broncos will run in the 1,600 relay, and also have senior Jonathan Mitchell competing in the 800 and junior Brad Lee in the 1,600.
Dora has two girls competing in 1A triple jump in seniors D'Shawn Pettigrew and Jena Bilberry, while sophomore Alicia Smith represents Elida in 1A girls high jump.

Our area may be in for a double whammy of mosquito hatches.
La Crosse County's Vector Control Manager says we saw our first batch as the water level went up. Now that it's on its way down, and temperatures are on the way up, conditions are right for another wave of mosquitoes.
"We have an area that's not flooded for years, and all of a sudden it is flooded because of conditions, and you get eggs hatching that have been there for years and you get tremendous hatches coming off," said La Crosse County Vector Control Specialist Dave Geske.
One of the areas Geske pointed out is the islands throughout the Mississippi River.
He wants to remind everyone to make sure to get rid of any standing water in open containers, such as tires and bird baths, to help curb the potential hatch.

Got BOGO on the Brain?
August 20, 2006 By 1 Comment
I used to associate Payless Shoes with "cheap". Probably because I grew up with no money, and my friends all had Nikes while I had the Nike knock-offs from Payless. But the last time the ran their "Buy One, Get One Half Off" Sale, I gave them a second chance. They do now carry a few good brand names! I ended up buying a pair of Champion Sneakers and some Airwalk clogs (not the Croc wannabe's). I wanted to show a picture/link to one or the other, but I do not see either carried online anymore. … [Read more...]

IDE Minutes 2008 10-07
From MemberWiki
URL: http://www.openajax.org/member/wiki/IDE_Minutes_2008_10-07
- Bertrand, Microsoft
- Jon, IBM
- Kin, Adobe
- Lori, Aptana
- Stew, IBM
Mashable Widgets
Jon: One could argue that we want a couple of mashable widgets. We could say ide's need to provide the scaffolding
Jon: Or we can make it so it is easy for widget developers.
Stew: In the IDE scenario I envision 2 models
Stew: I always thought there were a set of ides that render in a design mode. And other ides that have placeholders for the visuals and manipulate the properties, and generate code.
Jon: Can widgets optionally opt into the apis
Stew: APIs allow you to integrate with other widgets in the document. I'm of the mind that I would make it optional.
Jon: Yeah, that's what Kin and I were feeling.
Jon: My feeling is DW CS4 is a major product in the industry which isn't supporting the mashable format. We might as well go along and rally around the first major product that is shipping.
Lori: This doesn't effect Aptana as much as it does DW.
Lori: Not really worried about widgets at the moment.
Jon: Those mashable apis would be optional. You as an IDE don't have to provide scaffolding.
Kin: That's what I was mentioning I wanted to look into. The OAA providing some JS file that a widget writer could include that automatically did all the checking for the availaiblity of the mashup environment.
Jon: I'm pretty sure that can be done.
Change the Default for the 'src' attribute on <require>
Jon: Only response was from Rich Thompson that said he thought it was reasonable.
Jon: Talked to Lori at AJAX Experience and javier, and Now I'm backing off.
Jon: Dojo library is used in our reference implementation. We don't want multiple Dojo's coming down with each widget.
Jon: Lori pointed out if you just point to an absolute URL things should just work out. If you want to use Dojo, Prototype, Dojo, etc then you can just point to the CDN on AOL, Google, or on your own website.
Jon: Long story short is "nevermind".
Kin: The implementation we have assumes that if an oam.xml file is loaded from an absolute URL, and if the <require> paths are relative, we copy the files locally. If the <require> paths are absolute URLs, then we only insert references to them without ever copying them locally.
Jon: The most specific spec change would be to clarify that if you are pointing to an asset with an absolute URL, then you should just preserve that.
Kin: Right.
Jon: One more thing to clarify after talking to Javier, it is ok for the tool to put a cached/local copy of the toolkit even if there is an absolute URL. One of the benefits of relocation is that you can have a local copy. Especially if your app already have a local copy of dojo.
Jon: If you use the library feature the ajax libraries are relocateable. The target attribute does not apply when using the library attribute, but it does apply everywhere else. If you are not using the type="library" or library="" attribute then target is allowed.
Jon: Comes back to kin's question about what if the src of the require is an absolute URL and target is specified. Then the IDE would have to copy.
Kin: Right.
Dojo Feedback
Lori: I talked to Kevin, its kind of sad that we went with class model approach. But it makes it easier for tools.
Jon: Yeah I sent comments to ??? Visual Studio and Eclipse are 2 major IDEs that use class based tooling.
Jon: Lets see what the Dojo guys come up with.
Jon: We may consider a prototype way of expressing JS based APIs and also support the class based approach. JSDoc uses class based.
Jon: Minimize the lossiness of how you express your apis is good. You don't want to force lossiness, but that is preliminary to see what Dojo comes up with.
Lori: Yeah I want to see what they come up with too. The code assist file they gave us contained no mixin tags. We invented the mixin tags for them, but they didn't use it.
Jon: Maybe what you got was a flattened version.
Kin: What is a mixin?
Lori: Different objects inherit some methods.
Bertrand: A set of members are dynamically copied
Lori: They are added through run-time.
Jon: Piecemeal cloning of properties. Because JS is a dynamic language you can do that. In JS you can say I want to grab properties A, C, and E from this object because I like those.
Bertrand: Not including higher level constructs would be a mistake. The real test would be expressing major frameworks like jQuery.
Lori: Yeah, right now we add asdoc[??] comments
Bertrand: Actually they have JSDoc in their tree.
Jon: Bertrand, I see your point. There's metadata you can put in your source code which will make your source more useful in an IDE. We shouldn't cut out that level of meta-data. We're the ide working group that's what we're here for.
Options Object Literal
Lori: I just emailed about this topic to layout the problem.
Lori: There isn't a way of saying this property corresponds to an options object passed to a constructor.
Jon: In your example you have an optoin named draggable. Would that only appear in that one parameter?
Lori: Yes
That would implicity appear in a properties dialog?
Lori: Yes
Lori: If you wanted to say
Jon: properties that appeared in the constructor would be appended to
Lori: I'm not thinking about UI. I'm just talking about a way to pass an options object
Jon: What's the tie in between the class element and the widget element.
Lori: One is API data. I was just describing my widget as part the api, so that if the user were typing they would get hints.
Lori: If someone was inserting this panel in Dreamweaver and they choose that they don't want their panels to be draggable.
Kin: Lori is trying to describe the scenario where the constructor takes an optional object for changing the widget defaults. In some toolkits, like jQuery UI, just the presence of an object with a specific property is enough to change the default for that property.
Lori: Yes.
Jon: Here's my question. how does the tool know that this widget below has any relation to the class above?
Lori: those 2 things are spearate. The top one is for coding (API meta data) for code hinting. We already have this mechanismi in the api metadata. but for the widget data there isn't a way to automatically
Jon: What in the meta data says this optional property is tied to where it should be inserted, etc.
Lori: That's my point. There is nothing that exists within the widget meta data.
Lori: When I originall proposed this for Adobe, it assumed there was a constructor and it looked more like an API metadata, but we (OAA) moved away from that towards properties and there isn't anything to express this.
Lori: We don't have a way to say this is an argument that goes here.
Jon: Oh so you're not defining a solution.
Lori: I just wanted folks to understand the problem.
Jon: We could invent a syntax that a special thing a tool needs to do a substitution where you insert an object literal or nothing depending on whether any properties are different from their defaults. We already have that notion that when it invokes a constructor that it should only pass the non-default options. The only problem is the comma.
Jon: we could put in a note in the spec that the widget developer needs to check that the library won't die in the case when there is no optoins object and we pass undefined in its place. Just in case they were assuming that the argument count indicates the presence of an options object argument.
Lori: I want to be able to mark the properties that should go in this options object.
Jon: We already use __OPTIONS__ convention. It's already a special thing.
Lori: What do we want to use (in meta data) that tells the IDE that this is an optional constructor property.
Jon: An obvious thing to do is add another attribute like constructor="true".
Lori: Right it could be anything.
Jon: which is the common case? To pass it, or not to pass it.
Lori: False I would think.
Kin: Right.
Jon: If constructor option is false. Then that property is not put in the object literal. It gets put into the object literal if its value isa non-default value and the constructor attribute is true.
Lori: Kin is proposing instead of having a constructor option true, that there be a property named options and it should have children enumerating the properties of that element. Which is also fine by me.
Kin: We should put this in an email so we are all on the same page.

PORT CLINTON, Ohio (AP) — An investigation into a series of telephoned bomb threats to schools and police departments in northwestern Ohio has resulted in a man's arrest on a charge of inducing panic.
An Ottawa County jail official said Charles Tingler, 22, of Oak Harbor, was being held in jail yesterday on the charge. It could not be determined immediately whether Tingler had an attorney.
Authorities say the threats occurred in Ottawa, Sandusky, Erie and Lucas counties. In each case, the caller said either that a device was about to go off in the school building or a man in a trench coat was walking in the school with a bomb, police said.
Agent Donald St. Clair of the Ottawa County Drug Task Force told reporters on Friday that the charge against Tingler related to threats to Oak Harbor schools on Monday. The case will be presented to a grand jury, and more charges related to threats to other schools are likely, Ottawa County Prosecutor Mark Mulligan said.
A message seeking additional comment was left yesterday at the Ottawa County sheriff's office. There was no answer to calls to the prosecutor's office.
St. Clair told reporters earlier that police were able to trace the calls to Tingler's cellphone and that the suspect used different Internet sites and mobile applications designed to disguise his voice and phone number.
Tingler told authorities that he made some calls that started as pranks and said that he "took it too far," St. Clair told reporters.
"He was extremely remorseful," St. Clair said. "Toward the end of the interview, he was ready to cry and break down."
Authorities said the drug task force was involved because its agents are local law-enforcement officers who assist on other cases when asked.
Tingler is scheduled for a hearing in Ottawa County Municipal Court on Monday.

Lost a Bet
The Rugby World Cup is on right now, and my boyfriend is following it. I don't know a lot about rugby, but I do know a few things:
1. The RWC is being held in New Zealand and New Zealand has one of the best teams year after year.
2. Australia always has good teams to rival New Zealand,
3. South Africa has good teams (I saw Invictus with Matt Damon).
4. The game was invented in England, so they should be good at it.
5. Canada has a team and I have to cheer for them no matter how good they are.
Well my boyfriend isn't going to let me pick the teams that I know are good every time we bet, so some times I have to go out on a limb. Canada won their first game, and I hadn't heard that France was that good, so I bet on Canada over France. The winner got to pick a dare. So here I am at the park topless.
Yeah. One of the early ones of her. I took this shot at the waterfall, late in the afternoon. Almost dark.
Then there is one taken the day I did the bike shots, I think.
The third shot was taken with her sitting behind the wheel of my 4WD and the others were taken with each lady in the outdoors spa.
