Senate Likely To Pass Immigration Overhaul
WASHINGTON (AP) — Sufficient support from both sides of the aisle appears to be in place as the Senate prepares to vote, possibly today, on a major immigration overhaul. The measure offers eventual citizenship to millions now in the U.S. illegally and spends billions of dollars to secure the border. But Many in the GOP-controlled House oppose the pathway to citizenship at the center of the Senate bill.

Prep 5 mins
Cook 45 mins
Only 3 ingredients and my family LOVES it!!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 cup thick & chunky salsa or 1 cup picante sauce
- 2⁄3 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons additional breadcrumbs (may need, depending on consistency of salsa or picante sauce)
- mix all ingredients well by hand.
- Place in glass 8x8 square casserole.
- you can even drizzle with catsup.
- place in a preheated oven set at 375 degrees
- bake until done.(about 45 mins.).
Most Helpful
The DH declared the meatloaf "just fine". I added an egg, and did not bake it as long -- I think I had less than one pound of meat, and it looked like it was drying out. I buy less meat, as the kids became vegetarians and no one wants to eat the same meal for a week. It is only DH and me eating meat.
Thanks for posting. I will make this again.

I'm Going ThroughD G D Lord, I have started to walk in the light E A That shines on my pathway so clearly, so bright; D G D I've bade the world and its follies adieu, D A D And now with my Saviour I'm going through. Chorus D G D I'm going through, I'm going through, E A I'll pay the price, whatever others do; D G D I'll take the way with the Lord's annointed few; D A D I'm going through, Jesus, I'm going through. Many once started to run in this race, But with our Redeemer they could not keep pace; Others accepted because it was new, But not very many seem bound to go through. Chorus Let me but follow my Lord all alone, And have for my pillow, like Jacob, a stone, Rather than vain worldly pleasures pursue, Than turn from this pathway and fail to go through. Chorus Come then, my comrades, and walk in this way That leads to the kingdom of unending day; Turn from your idols and join with the few, Start in with your Saviour, and keep going through. Chorus

Located on Baja's magnificent Sea of Cortez, between
Cabo San Lucas and La Paz (45 minutes north of the Los Cabos International
Airport) Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort began as a beachfront
hacienda. It was originally built as the vacation retreat by Mexican
General Agustín Olachea, two-time governor of Baja California
October 1976, Jesus "Chuy" Valdez, a young entrepreneur
from La Paz with great dreams, leased this property. At that time,
the East Cape was virtually undiscovered. The area's pristine
beauty, world-class sport fishing, safe beaches and pure underground
hot springs made it an ideal place for a resort. He named it Spa
Buenavista and opened with 13 rooms. Valdez purchased the property
in 1981 and began expanding the hotel to include 45 rooms, a fleet
of 20 fishing boats, lushly landscaped grounds with pool, swim-up
bar and world-class restaurant. In 1992 the resort's name
was changed to Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort.
Buena Vista Beach Resort retains the "Old Mexico"
style of hospitality. This four-star resort welcomes you with
wide-open arms and makes you feel like one of the family. It's
no wonder that guests return again and again, year after year.
Hotel Buena Vista Beach Resort is a tropical oasis.
Lushly landscaped
with palms, colorful bougainvillea and hibiscus and fragrant plumeria
trees, fountains and natural hot springs Jacuzzis, this one-story
hotel is laid back and lovely. The pace is mellow. Architecture
and furnishings are simple and comfortable. Accommodations 60
garden view, pool front and ocean front rooms with two double
or king-size bed, full bath and telephone. Rooms are terraced
down the hillside to the beach and the warm waters of the Sea
of Cortez. There are umbrellas on the beach and hammocks on the
patios of many rooms.
Hotel Buena Vista's fishing fleet is the most experienced
on the East Cape, and includes 20 boats, from 23-foot Center Console
Super Pangas and 28 single engine cruisers, 29-foot Twin Engines
Cruisers to a 31-foot Twin Engines Cruisers. All are fully equipped
with safety and fishing equipment and are manned by professional
crews (experienced in both conventional and fly-fishing) who know
the sea and its denizens.
can also enjoy the pool, and swim, dive and snorkel western
North America's only living coral reef. They can take tours
into nearby mountains to hot springs, Indian rock paintings and
waterfalls and afterward indulge in a relaxing massage. Bird-watching
tours are available, as are ATV, Jet Ski and kayak rentals, along
with shuffleboard, ping pong, horseshoes and pool.
Pescador Bar
Before or after dinner, old and new friends gather in the beachfront
El Pescador Bar, adjacent to the restaurant to sip cocktails,
watch the big-screen TV, check their email or play rousing games
of pool and ping-pong. Happy Hour is from 4 to 5 p.m. daily. Mariachis—Mexican
strolling musicians—will frequently drop in and play for
guests. Open from 12:00 PM to 10:30 PM
Swim-up Palapa Bar
The social hub of Buena Vista Beach Resort is the swim-up bar
under the giant palapa at the pool. The beautiful fresh-water
pool is the perfect place to unwind after a hard day of fishing
or touring. It's also a great place to spend an afternoon under
an umbrella reading a book. Beach towels are available daily.
Hungry? Order up a plate of Nachos or a hamburger. When the
boats come back from fishing and all sorts of people descend on
the pool, you can be sure that someone will start up a wild game
of water volleyball. Join in. What more could you ask?. Open
from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM
El Navigante Restaurant
Meals are served either in the lovely El Navigante Restaurant
or outdoors on the oceanfront terrace. Snacks, such as our famous
Nachos, can be ordered poolside. The breakfast menu is extensive,
and offers an array of both traditional American and Mexican favorites.
At lunch, choose between hamburgers, tostadas, tacos, burritos,
enchiladas, soups and salads. Dinner's menu is even more
extensive. The American plan menu includes a large selection of
beef, chicken, seafood and Mexican dishes. Soup and salad come
with the meal. For those wanting to eat the fish they just caught
fresh that day, the chef will prepare it to their liking. Guests
in the mood for lobster, shrimp, surf and turf or a giant seafood
combination for two can order a la carte, off the European Plan
menu. Picnic lunches are provided on each fishing boat and Saturday
nights are celebrated for the Mexican Buffet and Ballet Folklórico
Floor Show.
Center State-of-the-art conference facilities
include 1981 square feet with capability for 251 people and ocean
view food service area. Meeting and breakout rooms are equipped
with a climate-control system, 110 volt electrical power, registration
desk, microphones, VCR, 35 mm slide projectors and screen, large
screen TV, overhead projector and screen, flip charts and easels,
dry-erase board.
Events Buena Vista Beach Resort has hosted many
weddings, anniversaries, birthdays and other special events. This
hotel has the ability to make any celebration memorable and unique.

and in the restaurant, and every detail was lovingly, beautifully
attended to.

It has been two years since I posted anything new here. For a long time now, I've wanted to write an update post for you guys, just to clarify whether I'm still doing this or abandoning it entirely. But I honestly didn't know, and so I didn't know what to tell you.
At first, I stopped posting because of other things that were happening in my life. I'll tell you about that stuff first.
About two years ago, Hubs and I got really interested in the tiny living movement. We wanted to lower our cost of living so we could have more free time. To this day, I think downsizing is the one smart thing we've done thus far in our adulthoods.
We had some money saved, but not a lot. We decided to remodel a vintage RV, because the ones on Pinterest looked super cute and that option fit best within our (laughable) budget.
We've been living in a 1983 Airstream for two years now. I honestly kind of like it and don't mind the tiny-ness. Here are some pictures I took right after we moved in:
And here are some of the outside:
|Okay, now I'm just showing off.
Moving into the Airstream reduced our rent by half. We had lovely plans for how we were going to use all the extra savings. Then, Hubs took a job that had a better schedule and seemed like it would be an increase in pay. Long story short, it was the opposite of an increase. We blew through our savings and had to start using our emergency credit card to pay our bills, which we're still paying off. Finally, after about seven months, he found another job, which actually pays more than any job either of us has ever had, so I guess it all worked out for the best.
All that was about a year ago. BUT THERE'S MORE. Right after Hubs got the new job, last summer, my mom fell and cracked her knee cap in half. I flew out to Montana and helped her recover from surgery and go through physical therapy. I was there for two months, and she's doing a lot better now. I was really sad to come back to North Carolina, because Montana is awesome. Hubs and I want to move there.
And somewhere in there, I stopped blogging.
I kept trying to figure out how to tell you guys about all this stuff. At first it seemed weird for my cartoon blog to suddenly start talking about tiny homes and vintage travel trailers, and I couldn't figure out how to introduce the subject. Then more stuff happened, but in order to tell you about that stuff, I had to tell you about the first stuff that I still hadn't told you about. Then even more stuff happened, and it all got so overwhelming that I just never did it.
I felt like you guys had come to know a certain aspect of my personality and think of me in a certain way, and I was afraid it would be jarring to you if I suddenly presented myself as someone who also has non-funny interests and does other kinds of writing and has other projects.
My concerns are ironic, because nothing could possibly be more jarring to you than this abrupt information dump.
And the truth is, I haven't known what to tell you about the future of this blog, because for a long time I didn't know.
Even when things started to slow down again and my life became more settled, I never felt another urge to compose an illustrated post. At first I thought I was just burned out. I didn't want to jump to conclusions, because I like to let things grow and change on their own. Sometimes I go through long periods when I don't feel like working on a certain project, and then when I go back to it I've gained perspective. Other times, I stop working on something, and then months or years pass and I realize, "Oh, I was finished with that. That's why I stopped doing it and never wanted to do it again."
I also started working on another writing project, which brings me to the next thing I want to tell you, because it's also a major factor in my decision about the future of this blog.
I also started working on another writing project, which brings me to the next thing I want to tell you, because it's also a major factor in my decision about the future of this blog.
When I started blogging, I was at the beginning of what has been a very long, very slow identity crisis, mostly stemming from the fact that I was in denial about the kind of writing I want to do. I've always known I want to write novels, but it's taken a long time to accept that I want to write novels. When I was a kid, I was 100% sure about it. As I got older, I realized how risky it was. What scared me most was the idea of going so long without any finished work I could show people. I think starting this blog was my way of trying to take the easy way out. I could spend anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks working on a post, then get almost-instant feedback (translation: gratification) after publishing it. I rationalized with myself that writing was writing.
And in a way, that's true--the fact that I was writing anything, at all, was a drastic improvement for me five years ago, when the idea of writing scared me shitless. Illustrating my personal essays with crude digital cartoons wasn't something I had ever dreamed of doing, and because I didn't have any pre-conceived notions about it, I approached it objectively in a way that I just couldn't approach any of my other writing at the time. I learned to assess what was working and what wasn't, and even though I've never produced content of mind-blowing, reality-altering genius on this blog, it has come a long way. I poured more effort into this than I'd ever put into any project before. No matter what else I had going on, for those first three years, I clung to this one creative outlet with murderous tenacity. It felt good to make something and see it evolve.
A few months ago, when I got back from helping my mom, and Hubs' work situation stabilized, and I wasn't working at the pottery gallery anymore, I had sort of assumed maybe I'd finally get back to blogging. But instead, I started writing a book, which I'm pretty sure is the first in a series. I actually had the story idea a long time ago, and while I was staying with my parents, I started making notes and outlining plots and expanding the story. Now that I'm in this rare situation of not working but also having food and shelter, I know deep down that if I want to write this story, it's now or never. I've also realized that if I'm going to give it my all, I won't have time for much else.
I'm hesitant to say, "I'm setting this blog aside to write a book series," because I can't promise that I'll never write more personal essays or other things someday. It would probably be more accurate to say I'm setting this blog aside so I can move on to other kinds of writing. And I owe this blog, and all of you, heaps of gratitude for getting me to a point when I'm actually ready to do that.
For the foreseeable future, this blog will stay right here, and I hope people will continue to derive enjoyment from it. I don't intend to post anything new here again, and if I do, it will probably be very different than what I used to post.

What I'd really love someday is a website where I can introduce myself to people as a writer, and showcase my work when I'm ready for that, but where I can also share updates about what I'm doing in my personal life and what's on my mind. I might include the occasional funny cartoon drawing, if it feels right. Even as I shift into other types of writing, I'm still the same person. I'm always going to need an outlet where I can be funny, and indulge my nerdery, and muse about random things, or tell stories about myself and the questionable decisions I make. My eventual goal is to consolidate more of the things I do into one place, rather than having all these separate, very different projects scattered across the Internet.
Whatever my next move is, you will be forewarned. You guys have followed my blog all this time, and I'm so grateful for all of you, especially the ones still reading this ridiculously long post. Maybe whatever I do in the future won't be something you want to follow, and that's okay. But I'll at least let you know what I'm up to, and if you want to check in sometimes and see how I'm doing, that will mean the world to me.

Skip to comments.Obama's a 'Colossal Sick Joke'
Posted on 03/20/2014 4:59:25 AM PDT by Kaslin
It was just gag gift. A joke.
That Nobel Peace prize that the Norwegians, on behalf of the Swedes gave Barack Obama.
I always found it ironic that the guy who was a major weapons manufacturer and inventor of dynamite would put up a prize for peace to begin with. But at least he tried to make amends for being known as a merchant of death.
Not so with Barack Obama.
As wars break out all over the world, our weakest man is stuck saying what he always says: Who? Me?
This is the same man who so quickly returned the Churchill bust standing in the Oval Office to the British Embassy that it offended some Englishman and some Americans.
Obama could have learned something from Churchills life. Or Nobels.
Churchill, half-American, most decidedly was a man of war and an imperialist, yet he knew more about making peace before he was 40 years old than Barack Obama will ever know.
Churchill fought Pashtuns in Afghanistan, dervishes in Omdurman and Boers in Pretoria. Yet he made peace with South Africa and with the terrorists in the IRAat least most of them to create the Republic of Ireland. He also negotiated peaceful relations with a communist Russia, a country that he called a blood stained bear.
He negotiated with striking transport workers and coal miners and was always willing to sacrifice everything short of honor for peace and goodwill.
Thats because Churchill was a strong man, comfortable in his strength.
And people who negotiate from their strongest positions are always in the best position to ensure peace.
And that stands in stark contrast to our weakest president, Barack Obama.
For all of Obama electoral successthe only resume item worth bragging about-- one might remember that U.S. Grant also was rewarded with two terms as president.
Grant, like Churchill, was a man of war, but not a strong man outside of the battlefield. The presidency for him was a gift from a grateful nation that wanted to believe that war meant something besides killing.
Obama could learn something from Grants life too.
Ulysses Grant in his throw-away linesin his throw-away lifekept trying to get people to see the colossal sick joke, writes biographer William McFeely. All you do is take the nicest guy on the blockthe one who wont be diverted by the dreams of vainglory or revenge or the sense of masochismand knowing he is not good for much else, let him act on the bald fact that war means killing the guy on the other side, or at least scaring him badly enough that he will quit fighting.
Grant alternately spent his life basking in the adulation of crowds or apologizing to himself for finding his calling in war.
Like Nobel, he tried to make amends.
He is remembered today, like Churchill, as a great man.
Obama, however, has no throw-away lines.
He does have Grants throw-away life.
Thats because Obama cant see his own colossal sick joke: He was bestowed the presidency not because of the ascendancy of his ideas, but because of ascendancy of his race. And his race is political device, not a moral one.
The presidency, for Americans, has been a gift from a repentant nation, still ignoring the wrongs that took a great civil war to even begin to acknowledge.
And mixed amongst the national psyche, now merged with Barack Obamas ego, is vainglory, revenge and masochism.
Alfred Nobel was a noble man and a smart one.
Winston Churchill was a strong man and just one.
Ulysses Grant was a determined man who tried to make himself a good man and succeeded.
Each understood that while peace is the ideal condition, there are worse things than war, real war.
Each was known for war, but their most lasting legacy was one of peace.
Obama understands none of it. He learns nothing from life that he doesnt already know.
And thats why hes the only guy who still doesnt get the colossal sick joke.
He got a prize though.
But the jokes still on him: These days, everyone gets a prize.
Partly disagree.
Obama was elected because of his race, of that there is no doubt... but his ideas played into the election as well.
His "followers" knew that no Republican would hand out the candy in as large bundles as he would. The only thing better than voting for Santa Claus, is having Santa Claus be black.
You must remember....... Obama is not white. Therefore he need not be capable of anything.
Yeah the article goes way too complicated to make a simple point. Obama is a disaster because leftist ideas are all based on extremely dangerous fantasies.
He literally thinks all our enemies are justified. All leftists think that.
Very well worded essay. I hope we can make it.
Yeah, but what a lame excuse
Obama is perpetually angry at his parents, and it now taking it out on all of us.
He never grew up and is still an unreasoning child.
Good essay, but for Obama, none of it matters.
He will always be the one he's been waiting for.
INCONVENIENT FACTOID---Ohaha was spawned from the viper pit of Chicago criminal politics---our WH is/was infested w/ Chicago criminals---these lowlifes never never met a decent, honest person in their entire lives.
INCONVENIENT FACTOID---O's 2008 PR person---Anita "Mao Kiss-up" Dunn---later said they let the media (voters) know only what THEY wanted them to know about Ohaha.
INCONVENIENT FACTOID---O told Putin he'd have more flexibility AFTER his 2012 election---knowing he would win when the campaign had not even begun.
INCONVENIENT FACTOID--- O's political henchman David "I'm Harmless" Axelrod took CBS-TV on a weird tour of 2012 campaign hdq. But nothing was happening. The shady voter fraud work was being conducted in swing states.
Romney never looked more stupid than when he sap-happily conceded the 20012 race election night---uttering not a word about Repubs being put through Ohaha's massive voter fraud meat-grinder. ============================================================================== The Chi/Gang are a super-strain of malevolent con artists.
Reminds me of the psychological weapon called "gaslighting"....taken from the film noir classic, "Gaslight."
Charles Boyer's character was a glib con artist, murderer and thief---he ingratiated himself w/ Ingrid Bergman, and married her, in order to move into her house----a house she inherited from her murdered aunt (murdered by Boyer for her hidden valuables).
Later the term "gaslighting" became a term to describe a pattern of psychological abuse in which the victims are gradually manipulated into doubting his/her own reality---involves the con artists using emotional gimmicks---cons often playacting as "victims" so as to dupe and disorient the targets experiencing the catastrophic effects of abusive behavior.
The desired effect of "gaslighting" is to maintain the abuser's image as a sympathetic person, while simultaneously priming the disoriented victim to believe that he/she is to blame for the ruinous mind-bending effects of their calculated mistreatment.
The Chi/crowd is an all-encompassing, well-oiled gaslighting machine......adept at co-opting the entire socio/political structure, duping the MSM and academia into becoming compliant accomplices. Democrats become prostrate----as they willingly march in lockstep, in obeisance to Obama. Too bad the entitlement crowd, the underserved, those "brothers he's keeping with tax dollars, and the 47% dont know they've all been gaslighted.
Obama is the Price America is paying for its Godless behavior.
We have abused our freedoms.
Affirmative Action Quota ?
Obama is not white you say. I say he is not 'black' as of "African blood' but has dark skin like many people in the world such as Indonesia.
share with the class,f15,,,,
We must also remember that Obama, BECAUSE he is half-black, is IMMUNE to ANY criticism or blame.
I remember that too. The prize was the first "pre-awarded" prize, to encourage future events. See how well it worked?
A white Obama would never have been elected, and that's the plain truth.
I remember phraseology to the tune of "what he's going to do".
And that's exactly why the left chose him, to implement the communist/anti-Christ agenda behind the shield of critic-proof skin color.
What I think it represented a movement of the prize deciders into the role of advocates of events. I think they believed they could influence people by virtue of giving the prize in advance of events.
Ransom has interesting thoughts. It's a shame that he has to couch almost everything in one-sentence paragraphs.
It's a schtick that quickly grows old.
There is quite a wide range of skin color in native Africans. I don't think a real determination can be made without DNA testing. I am becoming more and more skeptical that he is actually the spawn of Stanley Ann Dunham.
Yes, Clown Prince nobama is a sick joke...but it's not a funny joke.
Yeah, I do. He was given the peace prize because of the promises he made.
John Ransom's close on this...
You summed it up bert.
There are a number of stories with reasons as to the possibility that Stanly Ann was not Obama's mother. I tend strongly to discount such because of some photos that seem real and that Obama did go back to Hawaii and take care of 'Toots'(I think that was he called her)who was Stanly Ann's mother's burial at sea. Your take as to skin color and my take as to skin color go to my contention that his skin is not in and of itself an identifier of Obama's heritage.
The answer to your "So?" is that it seems unsophisticated to write that way. Every columnist I've ever read takes a central thought which usually is an assertion or observation and then develops the reasoning behind the assertion and/or observation—and ofttimes, its implications—IN THE SAME PARAGRAPH. That's WHY.
Yep. What's missing are exclamation points after each declarative sentence.
Perfect description for this POS and his worthless regime... the "participation trophy administration".
"A white Obama would never have been elected, and thats the plain truth."
Absolutely right! I told those who were raving about how amazing it was back in '08 that a "black man" had been elected that they were way off the mark. He was not elected in spite of being black, he was elected BECAUSE he CLAIMED to be black and appeared just dark enough to pull it off. There are videos which show him looking almost as white as Gunter Svenson but had he looked like a Swede on tv we would never have heard his name.
Indonesia or Kenya
My take of available info is that he was conceived in Indonesia but by circumstances born in Kenya
Obama is an enemy: a race-enemy (after Franz Fanon), an economic enemy (after Lenin), a national enemy ..... and "what have you got?" That's what he's the enemy of. Anything and anyone American.
Ransom still can't bring himself to believe it, despite the evidence piling up at the front door.
One of my theories is that Barry was the child of Grandpa Dunham and one of the Indonesian Hookers that worked at the bar Grandpa took Barry to many years later.
The pimp at the bar was always 'interested' to see Barry. (this is from Barry's own book)
She was flown back to Indonesia to have the baby, then Stanley Anne flew there, picked him up and brought him back to her Grandparents in Hawaii. This way the baby was 'in the family' and Stanley was still free to roam the globe.
verb (used with object), gas·light·ed or gas·lit, gas·light·ing.
to cause (a person) to doubt his or her sanity through the use of psychological manipulation: How do you know if your partner is gaslighting you?
Kind of like giving the only black kid in your high school the 'Most Likely To Succeed' Award.
Any boilerroom yak and three-card monte artist will tell you, you can't play an honest person.
Place of birth's a red herring. Citizenship is the key in the legitimacy argument ....... is he American or still Indonesian? I have never heard of any documentation that Stanley Ann "renaturalized" little Barry on their return from Jakarta, as the law required her to do, in order for the boy to reclaim his U.S. NBC status.
If he wasn't NBC in the first place, then that explains that.
Deeper and deeper ..... and as a famous woman said, "what does it matter at this point anyway?"
A guy fakes his way into the White House and federal judges line up around the block to tell us we don't have standing, we're not the injured parties.
Well, well, well. So, your honor ..... what does it take?!
I would say place of birth is not a/the red herring. It is the actual root of the key as you mentioned and postured. I take that Stanly Ann went to Kenya because of some circumstances to give birth and legitimacy and with her second marriage to Indonesian Soetero took young Obama to Indonesia where he was in school for a few years as a citizen. Things do matter after time. I look at the creation of the Federal Reserve and at the moment the fiasco of the Ukraine situation. I like the saying 'actions have consequences'.
Still think the Indonesian passport is the smoking gun.
I have it that Stanley Ann was just a couple of months pregnant when she went to Kenya for birth. As such there were several months interval before birth in August. Not a serious handicap to flying for such a condition. Info is that flying back to the States was held up a few days right after birth in Kenya because authorities in Kenya did consider it to soon for the baby for air travel; as to the mother's health I don't recall any such information.
I've always though that his trip back to "take care" of granny was to tie up loose ends to support his story that he was born in Hawaii. I don't think he gave a damn about granny - she was after all, white.
It is regrettable as to the history of Obama and the Presidency of the USA that 'Granny Toots' is not alive to give probably and provably, except for Obama, the most accurate accounting of Obama's up the ladder life.

Technical glitches hit SMS-based poll monitoring system in Chennai
It was heralded as a technological leap when it was launched by the Election Commission, but poor network coverage impeded the SMS-based system to monitor elections at various polling booths in Chennai on Thursday. The Times of India reports.
Officials said at several booths, the range was poor, as a result of which booth level officers were unable to communicate with senior officials.
The SMS-based alert system uses coded messages to collect data. It also helps in monitoring events down to a particular polling booth at the click of a mouse.
A senior election official said they were working to rectify these technical glitches. He, however, said more than 60% of the booth level officers in Chennai had sent SMSes about scheduled events like the staff reaching polling stations, mock polls conducted, the start of voting and the presence of agents.

Don't believe 4.19? 'The film speaks for itself'
When Northern Iowa WR Terrell Sinkfield ran a 4.19-second 40, his week changed in an instant.
The buzz surrounding Terrell Sinkfield's blazing 40-yard dash has died down a bit since the former Northern Iowa receiver ran it in 4.19 seconds Monday at the University of Minnesota's pro day.
The last few days, though, have been "crazy" for Sinkfield.
Since roughly the time Sinkfield slowed to a stop Monday, his story was seemingly everywhere — from TV to the Internet … even Forbes was writing about Sinkfield. Once the news spread, Sinkfield received "hundreds" of phone calls, text messages and tweets — more than he could count.
"It's been kind of crazy just seeing my name out everywhere, TV and all the newspapers everywhere," Sinkfield told FOXSportsNorth.com on Thursday. "I've just been looking at it. It's been kind of surreal. I'm just getting back to working out and everything's starting to calm down now."
Pro athletes even took notice, including former NFL wide receiver Chad Johnson and Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson — the latter of whom ran the fastest electronically timed 40 in Combine history with a 4.24 back in 2008. His response via Twitter to a link about Sinkfield's performance? "Stop watch homie," Johnson tweeted, sounding a bit skeptical that someone could best his time.
The other Johnson, who played for the
Cincinnati Bengals and
New England Patriots during his 11-year career, threw his support to Sinkfield, who has long admired Johnson as a player. Johnson tweeted to Sinkfield: "Don't be star struck boss I'm accessible 24/7 to all walks of life ... It's an even playing field with me ... see you soon."
"That was kind of crazy because I had tweeted at Chad Johnson before a few times, asked him to work out and never really got a reply. Then I finally got him to tweet at me," Sinkfield said. "I didn't really know what to say for a minute. I just sat there and thought about it, like, 'Chad Johnson is really tweeting me.'"
Though Sinkfield's pro day was impressive — he also had a vertical jump of 40.5 inches and a broad jump of 11 feet, 5 inches — there were plenty of skeptics questioning the accuracy of his 40-yard dash. His time of 4.19 seconds was confirmed to the media by Sinkfield's agency, AMI Sports. But Scott Studwell, the
Minnesota Vikings' director of college scouting, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that his stopwatch didn't clock Sinkfield quite that fast.
"He ran in the high 4.3s," Studwell told the Pioneer Press. "He can run. He ran fast. He tested well."
Others online have questioned the legitimacy of the hand-timed reading, including ProFootballTalk.com, which said Sinkfield's time of 4.19 "doesn't pass the smell test." Then there was BusinessInsider.com, which broke down video of Sinkfield's run frame by frame — and actually timed him at 4.16, a split-second faster than the original time of 4.19.
When asked about the skeptics, both Sinkfield and his agent, Mitch Chargo, are saying they stand by the film.
"The tape is out. I'm not disputing it or saying any specific time," said Sinkfield, who had 43 catches for 499 yards and four touchdowns as a senior at UNI. "I'm just back to training and hope to run fast again."
Added Chargo: "I would say that the film speaks for itself. Secondly, I would say that regardless, this young man is a competitor and has world-class speed."
Sinkfield's time of 4.19 came during his second attempt in the 40 after his first run was clocked at 4.27 seconds. Scouts on hand couldn't quite believe what they saw on their stopwatches after his second run, so they had Sinkfield run one more time. Despite a slight stumble, he still crossed the line in 4.41 seconds for an average of 4.33.
When Sinkfield takes part in Northern Iowa's pro day on March 27, he believes he can be faster. Not necessarily faster than 4.19 seconds but consistently faster in his runs.
"I just feel like those runs weren't my best runs. I'm blessed to just have those great runs and whatever times they came out to be," Sinkfield said. "That was the memo I just wanted people to see. Me going to Northern Iowa to run it again is just to let people know it wasn't any fluke. Regardless of the time, I know I can do better than I did."
There were just 13 NFL teams represented Monday at the University of Minnesota's pro day. Give the intrigue Sinkfield generated with his performance, there's a good chance a few more scouts may grab their stopwatches and head to Cedar Falls later this month.
"I've had contact from some teams who I know have expressed interest in coming down to see (him)," Chargo said. "My expectation is that you're going to get a full load of teams down there who are wanting to experience this first-hand."

I agree that rape is worse than adultery, but I agree that soaps are immoral and therefore maybe not for people that are to religious. The show would be boring if it was going by the bibel, not to say that serious issues shouldn�t be discussed or that it isn�t possible for the show to take it to far.
|Jun 23 2013, 05:18 AM Post #291
Of course soaps are going to have events/things/storylines that pass the envelope, but the issue with Days is that it doesn't handle those issues well in many cases, case in point, rape. In most instances, it is written and then passed off as anything except what it is-- a crime of violence. Now, if I felt that this scenario with Eric/Kristen would be handled responsibly or truthfully, I'd have no problem. Instead, I'm already prepared for the day when he remembers his "passionate encounter" with her and then she ends up pregnant or something (if she succeeds in raping him) and then all is written off as their simply having had sex.
It's wrong, pure and simple, and TPTB at Days should steer clear of this topic forever because it's always swept under the rug. They don't like dealing with the results/consequences of rape, then they shouldn't write it in the first place.
|Jun 23 2013, 05:30 AM Post #292
Rape is no worse than adultery.
I so strongly strongly disagree with that statement I just could not let it past.
|Jun 23 2013, 07:54 AM Post #293
Wow! Just wow!
Rape is a crime of violence or control where one party either physically overpowers the victim or uses extortion. It is a crime of physical violence or emotional violence. It's victims are scarred.
Adultery is when two people have consensual sex and one or both parties are married to other people.
How they are equivalent wrongs?
|Jun 23 2013, 08:12 AM Post #294
Yeah, I'm not even going to compare rape to adultery. Both are wrong but one is an encounter of two CONSENTING adults and one is an crime of violence and power. They are NOT equal....you can go to jail for rape....but not adultery.....
I don't have issues with rape stories on soaps. Unfortunately rape is a part of real life and soaps SHOULD tackle real life issues as part of stories they depict.....my main issue is when they try to glorify rape, reward a rapist, sweep the rape under the rug, whitewash the characters that committed it and then try to write it as a romance....it's vile and disgusting and I just hope that Days doesn't ONCE AGAIN go down that road here with Kristen and Eric.....because if that is what they are planning, then it's beyond ridiculous and I've hung on after the most disgusting storyline IMHO that Days has ever depicted but if they go there again with Eric and Kristen then I just might turn off the tv and forget about Days altogether.

Classic Soap Fan
|Biblically & religiously speaking (in many faiths), rape and adultery are the same because they are both sins and all sins are equal.
|Jun 23 2013, 09:54 AM Post #296
|What I don't get is how Days' treatment of rape is different than their treatment of any other crime. They regularly gloss over the fallout of EVERYTHING - rape, beatings, murder, kidnapping, etc. Obviously rape is one of the more heinous of these crimes, but it is definitely not unique in being written as no big deal a few months later.
|Jun 23 2013, 09:57 AM Post #297
Rape is no worse than adultery? Huh?
|Jun 23 2013, 10:02 AM Post #298
One doesn't have to be "religious" to necessarily find rape stories repugnant. And, if you've read the Bible (particularly the Old Testament), you already know that there's a heck of a lot of stuff in there that's NOT boring! Basically, a lot of soap plots and storylines could have been ripped right FROM the Bible!
|Jun 23 2013, 10:04 AM Post #299
I agree. I would like to see them at least attempt to treat this storyline as they did Jack/Kayla & Jennifer/Lawrence and not whitewash it. Drugging your victim and then forcing yourself on them when they are unable to think rationally or object to what is being done to them is rape. There is no 2 ways about it. If/When Eric gets his memory back I hope his reaction fits the crime. Greg Vaughn has the talent needed for such a storyline. Rape is a traumatic and horrible crime and if Days wants to portray a character being raped then they need to also show the emotional aftermath of the rape. If they do it right, Greg could have some Emmy material for next year.
|Jun 23 2013, 10:15 AM Post #300
This is an issue that goes so far past Days. That's what makes it so difficult to discuss. I do think the trivializing of it is harmful in a way that's unique to the crime, but Days is hardly the only show that has that problem. Ultimately, it'd be nice if they'd stop glossing over everything. It's give them much more story potential and better characters.
Also, all sins are equal in God's eyes but since we are not God, some sins are worse than others under human morality and laws. Biblically speaking, adultery isn't just cheating on a spouse. Therefore, any sexual relationship on Days outside of marriage would be sin. But when we're talking about a show or even real life, we're not talking about how God judges sin; we're talking about people.

Spectrum Acquires Pet-Products Maker FURminator
December 6, 2011,
MADISON, Wis.-Spectrum Brands, parent company of the Remington personal-care line and the Russell Hobbs cooking-products business, has signed an agreement to purchase FURminator, a global provider of branded and patented deshedding products for pets, from HKW Capital Partners for $140 million in cash. The deal is expected to close at the end of 2011.
The acquisition is intended to build up Spectrum's United Pet Group (UPG). "FURminator immediately expands and further strengthens UPG's broad companion animal product portfolio through entry into the large and growing dog and cat grooming category," said Dave Lumley, Spectrum's CEO. Founded in 2002, FURminator markets professional-quality dog and cat grooming tools and accessories, according to a Spectrum statement. Its annual sales are nearly $40 million.

Weed and Seed Has Already Planted Positive Change
While we appreciate your August 26, 1998, article on Hawaii 's new Weed and Seed program, some might conclude that nothing can make a positive difference in the high-crime communities of Kalihi-Palama and Chinatown.
That is not true.
Weed and Seed, an innovative program of the U.S. Justice Department and the U.S. Attorney to stop crime and rebuild communities, is already making a difference.
While other approaches have failed due to weak enforcement efforts, Weed and Seed brings tougher federal trial and sentencing laws designed to get and keep criminals off the streets.
Similarly, while other efforts have lacked follow-through, Weed and Seed understands that "seeding" the community with meaningful social and economic revitalization programs is just as important as "weeding" out crime.
Recently more than 850 Aloha United Way volunteers kicked off Hawaii's first Weed and Seed program by dedicating "A Day of Caring" to clean up and beautify Kalihi-Palama and Chinatown.

I love lunchables, they are quick and easy to pack into lunches and the pizza varieties taste great! However, I do not like to shell out two bucks a pop for these little suckers!
There are many recipes out there for this so I have taken tricks from all of them and found the easiest way to make these.
Can of pizza dough ( or your own recipe)
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella cheese
mini pepperonis
Sandwich bags
Mini bags for sauce
Snack size bags for cheese, and pepperonis
Round cookie cutter
Cut out circular shape dough crusts and bake until golden brown. Allow them to cool. Assemble bags of cheese and pepperoni (I combine these to save on bags.) Add sauce to the mini bag.
Put cooled crust in sandwich bags along with the a cheese & pepperoni bag and sauce bag. I also add a little spoon to spread the sauce.
These are easily frozen for later use too!

CouchDB Goes into Beta
The document-oriented database Apache Couch DB is available in version 0.10.0. The release is currently in a beta state.
New in CouchDB version 0.10.0 are modular configuration directories that the database uses for its settings. This new feature also changes the command line configuration options.
The show and list functions also have a new structure in the new release, as well as a stricter handling of the reduce parameter. These changes affect backward-compatibility and thus have a dedicated wiki page.
Developers also improved the build process and portability. CouchDB 0.10.0 is under Apache 2.0 licensing and available for source code download. Working with the Erlang-written CouchDB has proved to be popular among Web developers.

The benefits of Environmental Protection Agency regulations far outweigh the costs, according to a report by the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
32 major EPA rules issued over the last ten years will lead to estimated benefits of between $82 billion and $551 billion in 2001 dollars, according to TheHill.com, while the costs are estimated between $23 billion to $29 billion.
The analysis comes at an important time, disproving Republicans in Congress and critics in the media who say the agency's regulations hurt the US economy and jobs.
Congressional Republicans are working in everyway possible to block the EPA's greenhouse gas regulations and weaken the overall regulatory authority of the agency.
While the costs of EPA regulations are the highest of any agency surveyed in the report, the estimated benefits of those regulations are also the highest, and far surpass the costs.
For example, new sulfur dioxide rules issued in 2010 are expected to reap annual benefits of between $11 billion and $61 billion, while the costs are estimated to be between $2 billion and $4 billion.
Clean Air rules surrounding emissions of fine particulate matter account for the biggest figures in the report.
Here's an exceprt:
It is important to emphasize that the large estimated benefits of EPA rules are mostly attributable to the reduction in public exposure to a single air pollutant: fine particulate matter. Of its 20 air rules, the rule with the highest estimated benefits is the Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule, with benefits ranging from $19 billion to $167 billion per year. While the benefits of this rule far exceed the costs, the cost estimate for the Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule is also the highest at $7.3 billion per year.
Here's the report:

In 2001, Mamakthir reaffirmed Malaysia as an Islamic state. There was uproar in the House, with Kit Siang the most vociferous in objecting to the unilateral affirmation by Mamakthir. Mamakthir's argument then was similar to what Nazri is saying now – the Constitution does not provide for a secular state, and since the majority of Malaysians are Muslim, then by his logic Malaysia has to be an Islamic state. MCA, Gerakan and MIC stayed deathly quiet.
Obviously they trusted Mamakthir's reasoning, but the truth is that Mamakthir took them aside and said "Look, you can do what you want as guaranteed by the Constitution. You can drink alchohol freely, dress freely, ply your trade freely. I just need to fend off PAS." MCA, Gerakan and MIC never asked for Mamakthir to put his reasoning in writing, but to be fair, there has been little need to do so. We still have alchohol being served openly, we still have pork being sold openly, we have more massage parlours than ever before, and we even have kids who post their sex exploits on the net.
As far as the definition goes, the foregoing open exhibitions of non-Islamic practices preclude Malaysia as an Islamic state. And if we are not an Islamic state, then we have to be a secular state. I don't think there is anything in between.

Sustainable development at Roquette
Sustainable Development enriches the strategy of the Roquette Group
In the respect of key environmental objectives, the Roquette Group, attentive to the well-being of individuals and populations, transforms plant-based raw materials in its biorefineries into solutions.
To achieve its ambition to "become the global leader in starches and their specialities with sustainable and health advantages", the Group embraces a number of major challenges in terms of "sustainability":
- Optimize the profitability and solidity of the company
- Limit the impact of the Group's activities on the environment,
- Respond to the expectations of stakeholders (shareholders, employees, customers, suppliers…),
- Develop skills and adapt them to the orientations of the company in an international context...
The Roquette Group's approach to Sustainable Development takes into account these different objectives and adopted engagements according to 4 types of capital:
Natural capital
This is made up of plant-based raw materials, the terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, natural resources, water, air, the climate .…
Roquette Group's engagement seeks to preserve the natural capital by minimizing the impact of its activities on the local and global environment, at every phase of its business.
Material and industrial capital
This is made up of everything related to the Group's industrial plant & equipment, processes, R&D activities and investment capacity…
Human capital
This is made up of all the men and women who bring the company to life and contribute to its adaptability, performance and dynamism.
Societal capital
This is made up of the society that surrounds the company as well as the stakeholders who are more specifically concerned by its activity and who evolve in that environment.
The Roquette Group's approach to Sustainable Development aims to ensure the long-term viability of the company, which rests on the preservation and the development of these four capitals in equilibrium.
It also contributes to ensuring that the company remains a responsible company that responds to the expectations of its stakeholders.

text: Are you stating the problem as-is or are you paraphrasing? This problem doesn't really make sense. Production rate usually refers to the number of objects that you produce in a given time. Part of the problem is talking about rate of production and the other is talking about defective rates. And what does it mean to have a normally distributed non-defective rate of 0.84 with a standard deviation of 0.01? You could say that the non-defective rate of producing N items is normally distributed with mean 0.84 with a standard deviation of 0.01. But then we would need to know that number N.

In this week's edition of Video Game Crafts 'N Gear, we're kicking off the festive season with some awesome Mario-themed Christmas tree decorations, discover that Zelda accessories really do exist in real life and… what's this? Waiter, there's a companion cube in my drink! But that's okay, I think I'll keep it.
Super Mario Christmas Tree Lights
YouTube user oneupgreen has uploaded this video of his Super Mario Bros. Christmas tree lights. There's a vast range of characters and items displayed here: from classic enemies such as Boo and Blooper to iconic power-ups such as the Mushroom and Starman. There's even the new Penguin Suit! Now it all it needs is a copy of New Super Mario Bros. U wrapped up under the tree.
Wooden Hylian Shield
While you eventually ditch the weak, wooden starter shield in Zelda games, this is no Deku Shield! Deviantart user clefrayearth used his father's wood workshop to create a life-size replica of the Hylian Shield. He has also posted additional images showing different steps of the creation process.
While he could have simply created a flat shield and called it a day, clefrayearth went so far as to give the shield a curved appearance, like in the games. He used a variety of tools and resources to make this replica, and the outcome is incredibly impressive.

Companion (Ice) Cubes
Readers of our first episode may remember the Portal gun replica from ThinkGeek. Known for their large variety of Portal merchandise, ThinkGeek wow us once again with a pretty unique and nifty product.
Not only do the Companion Cubes help you solve the intimidating puzzles of GlaDOS' test rooms, they now kindly help keep your beverage cool, both in terms of temperature and style. The detail on the cubes is fantastic, and it's almost heart-breaking that they eventually dissolve away! You can grab yourself one of these ice trays for just under 10 dollars.

Short-Lived Celebrity Marriages
Dennis Rodman & Carmen Electra
Marriage duration: 5 months
No one is exactly sure what Carmen Electra was thinking or drinking when she decided to marry "The Worm" Dennis Rodman, who married himself two years earlier to promote his autobiography "Bad As I Wanna Be." The "Baywatch" beauty wed the NBA rebounding champion in November 1998 on an early morning in Las Vegas. Rodman admitted afterwards that he was heavily intoxicated when the two got married. Electra filed for divorce from Rodman five months later, but the two remained together for several months. Their relationship would soon end in November 1999 after the couple were arrested and charged with misdemeanors on battery and domestic charges.
