As this was cooking, I was concerned that there might be too much rice, but the end product was delicious. I ended up adding a bit more chili powder 'cause that suited our taste. Served it up in tostada shells and topped it with the cheese. Then I placed the lettuce, olives, tomatoes, avocado, sour cream and salsa and more tortilla chips on the side so my family could dress their own as desired. Flavor was reminiscent of a good super burrito. We all ate more than we should have--you can call me "Gordo" now!
This is great - it reminds me of tacos in a skillet. DH and I love homemade tacos and this is so much easier than fixing individual tacos. I always add a tsp of ground cumin to my taco meat so I did add a tsp to this recipe. But that was the only change made. In fact, I think tacos may be a thing of the past. Ole'!
Being from Texas, we eat alot if Tex-Mex dishes and this one was wonderful! I followed your directions, except that I added two cloves of minced garlic. I didn't have lettuce or avocado, so I didn't top it with the toppings. Instead, I served it plain along with warm corn bread! I'll be trying the toppings next time, as I think it would be great served that way too! The whole family loved it and I will be making this one on a regular basis. Thanks!

Lower respiratory infections can include diseases such as bronchitis, influenza, pneumonia, lung abscesses, or other problems. More serious lower respiratory infections can include tuberculosis or lung cancer. These types of infections were one of the leading causes of people dying of all kinds of infectious type diseases with millions of deaths occurring every year.
Symptoms of lower respiratory infections
The symptoms include the following:
- Breathing problems
- Extreme tiredness
- Persistent coughing
- Heightened fevers
- Weak feeling

Diagnosis of lower respiratory infections
If the doctor suspects someone has a lower respiratory infection they may take a blood test or schedule a chest X-ray to confirm the diagnosis.
Treatment for lower respiratory Infections
One of the first choices for treatment of lower respiratory infections is antibiotics for five to seven days, unless it was caused by a virus, as antibiotics don't work to cure viruses. That is why it is vital to know the exact cause of the infection. These will help to treat those that are caused by a bacterial source of infection. If a bacterial version is suspected, the two most common antibiotics used to treat lower respiratory infections are penicillin and amoxicillin.
Other treatments may be given to help relieve the symptoms like drinking lots of fluids to stay hydrated, taking pain medication such as Tylenol or ibuprofen for pain and fever, or taking over the counter medications to treat the runny nose or cough.
In some cases, there are no treatments for lower respiratory infections unless it gets severe and so the infection clears up on its own. If you believe you have this type of infection, you should go to your doctor if the symptoms of lower respiratory infections appear and then gets worse. This is especially the case when it comes to babies, small children and the elderly, as they are more susceptible to serious infections and complications.
The main thing to remember when it comes to lower respiratory infections is to take note of the seriousness of the symptoms of lower respiratory infections so that the doctor can decide on the best course of treatments for lower respiratory infections and help you to get well fast.

With continually evolving designs, rugged dependability, great pointing characteristics and versatility, the Model 870 has been the standard for slide-action performance for almost 60 years. Beneath the no-nonsense, ready-for-work exterior of the Model 870 Express lies the same quality, precision, and dependability that you'll find in Remington's legendary Model 870 Wingmaster, but at a much more affordable price. Like all Model 870 shotguns, this workhorse features a receiver milled from a solid billet of steel for maximum strength and reliability. The silky-smooth twin action bars prevent binding and twisting so that you'll always have the chance to get off a second shot. The 870 Express comes appropriately dressed for the hunt and not for the wall. Each shotgun sports non-reflective black matte metalwork. This combo includes a 28-inch barrel with a ventilated rib, a front bead sight, and a modified choke tube, and a 20-inch smooth bore barrel, with a fixed front sight and adjutable rear rifle sight, and a cylinder choke. Its wood, metal, and bore are all in very good condition.

I WAS recently in London and, to commemorate the one-year countdown to the 2015 Rugby World Cup, one of their newspapers interviewed a panel of six rugby journalists. Without exception, when asked who could beat the All Blacks, they said that in a normal match, nobody could, but that New Zealand's perceived World Cup vulnerability meant that any of the teams queued up behind the All Blacks could topple them on the World Cup stage. One even resorted to the ridiculous cliché that the All Blacks were the only team that could beat the All Blacks.
Having since seen South Africa beat them, admittedly at "fortress Ellis Park" (another cliché), even the most patriotic journalist might concede that South Africa are the team most likely to beat New Zealand in 2015. Of course, much can change in a year, and England remain, in my opinion, extremely dangerous — part of my trip to London was to visit the English Rugby Football Union, and they have the feel of brewing something special there. Whether it will arrive by 2015 remains to be seen.
For South Africa, the same is true. A slow start to the Rugby Championship was gradually turned around, and there is optimism around the balance and quality of the team. Particular praise has been given to their physical condition, something I am not all too sure was warranted — it is easy to write justifications for scoreboards after the fact, but most are bald assertions.
The truth is we cannot know whether the team is optimally conditioned, and I doubt the margins of improvement were that large to begin with.
A big part of Heyneke Meyer's challenge now is to make sure that the 2015 World Cup team remains at the same physical level as they were in the Ellis Park Test. This will require that perhaps five or six key players make it to the knockout phase of the tournament in optimal condition. This means more than just being injury-free — it means being well-conditioned and rested, but still game-sharp and contact-ready, which is why simply resting players is not the answer.
The Springboks are together only three times a year, and even then during the Super rugby season, where physical conditioning cannot be their focus. Tactically, certainly, Meyer can work towards implementing a certain game plan, but that is not peaking, it is just progressive development.
Herein lies the dilemma. There is always talk of teams "peaking at the right time", a response usually heard when losing.
Peaking, physiologically speaking, means managing training so that the best performances happen on the most important occasion. This is done by balancing periods of harder training with rest, so that the body is perfectly tuned for the main objective.
In the modern world of sport, this is very difficult to do, because the calendar is too long with insufficient time off to allow this typical structure. And in team sports, it is even more challenging.
For Heyneke Meyer, I would even go so far as to say that he and his support staff are not responsible for getting the team to peak, at least not physically, given the constraints of coaching a national team.
That is, as national coach, he sees the players too infrequently to have any real influence over their physical performance.
The Springboks are together only three times a year, and even then during the Super rugby season, where physical conditioning cannot be their focus. Tactically, certainly, Meyer can work towards implementing a certain game plan, but that is not peaking, it is just progressive development.
Similarly, the mental or psychological state of a team can improve over time, but this too is not peaking so much as improving.
The reality is that the physical aspects of winning the World Cup lie mostly outside the national coaching team's control.
Instead, it is the Super rugby teams who may control the destiny of the Rugby World Cup trophy, for it is they who will do the important work between December and July next year. World Cup success will thus require their contribution, at worst to "do no harm" so that Meyer and co have the best resources to work with.
It is a fragile and precarious place for a national team to be.

Country Evaluation
Pakistan is the South Asian country and was established in 1947. It shares border with India, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Iran and China. It has a coastline spanning of 1,046 km with Arabian Sea. The country has highest peaks in the world that are K2 and Nanga Parbat of Karakorum and Pamir in the northern and western highlands of Pakistan. Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi provide the major by air gateways to Pakistan. India and Iran also provides the way to reach Pakistan by train.
There are several favorable characteristics that make Pakistan an ideal country for an international business. However, the country is facing imbalanced economic, societal and political conditions since independence due to which investors gets reluctant to invest in the country. This report reviews the favorable and unfavorable aspects of Pakistan for U.S. investors.
Investors need to consider various factors before making investment for an international business. First the investors assess the economic conditions of the host country from different scenarios. Evaluate the risks and opportunities relevant to the business. Moreover, make an analysis of the costs and profits.
Pakistan Current Economic Conditions
Pakistan is a developing country and its economy is the 27th largest economy of the world in purchasing power. However the country is still facing poor conditions due internal political disturbances and lack of foreign investments. During 2001-2007 the poverty levels reduced by 10% due to development spending by Islamabad. The economic conditions also got better during 2004-2007 because of GDP growth from 5 to 8%. The industrial and services sector brought positive changes to economy of the country but now electricity shortfalls are creating a big hurdle in the growth of the country.
International Trade
The Federal Commerce Minister of Pakistan Makhdoom Amin Fahim said during the Annual Investment Meeting 2012 held on 1st May that Pakistan is focusing on enhancing the international trade. Pakistani delegations have brought 20 new projects that would start as soon as foreign investors show their interest. These projects include fish farming, dates, halal products, dairy sector, livestock, chilies, fruits, and cold chain products. The Pakistani Government is not only asking for the investments but has also shown interest in Partnerships. As according to the World Bank Report, Pakistan is at third rank in ease for doing business. Makhdoom also added that Pakistan offering supreme investment incentives to foreigners, "we will give 20% return in dollar terms on investment, 30-year tax holiday, whereas all machinery imported for investment would be tax free. We have estimated that investors would begin to get a return on investments in 3-4 years' time. These are incentives you will not get anywhere else in the world."
Chief Minister of Sindh, Qaim Ali Shah added that there are high opportunities of investments in energy and agriculture sectors. Since, the energy crisis is severely shackling the industrial growth so foreign investors should consider to invest in wind corridor and Thar coal reserves. There are opportunities available in infrastructure development and roads building as well. (Najeeb, 2012)
The Finance Minister of Pakistan, Abdul Hafeez Shaikh has also asked American Entrepreneurs to take benefits of the great investment opportunities in Pakistan. While speaking to the members of U.S.-Pakistan Business Council at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Abdul Hafeez emphasized on facilitating the private sector especially in trade and bilateral areas, so that to strengthen the relations between U.S. And Pakistan. (Recorder Report, 2012)
Pakistan is offering phenomenal returns to the foreign investors as they can invest and take as much capital as they want. The foreign minister Pakistan added that there are opportunities for foreign investors in all fields. Despite the high oil prices and caring for the refugees after Afghan war, the country is able to withstand the pressures and improve performance in some of the areas. The country has kept a check on inflation, revenue generation, brought increase in exports and maintained comfortable foreign exchange reserve levels. So, considering the above conditions of international trade, there are several opportunities for U.S. investors to invest in international business at Pakistan.
Exports and Imports
Despite the global downfall during April to July 2012, Pakistan has well maintained its exports. There has come an increase in the exports up to 30% last year and 6% increase is expected this year. Overseas Pakistanis have eased pressures on economy and also strengthened reserves by unprecedented inflow of remittances. It is expected that remittances will cross up to $13 billion this year. Similarly, GDP is expected to grow 4% by this fiscal year and 6 to 7% growth in next 6 to 7 years.
US - Pakistan Business Council is optimistic about business opportunities in Pakistan even in presence of number of challenges. The American business leader has also expressed members' support for the economic relations and strong trade between the two countries. (Recorder Report, 2012)
The volume of exports has increased by $2.5 billion with the Afghan Transit Trade Agreement that has encouraged formal trade between Afghanistan and Pakistan. Efforts to Free trade agreements and preferential trade agreements are in progress to increase the trade with many other countries.
Imports during July - April 2011-12 have increased by 14.5%. The reason for this was high oil prices and so the import of fertilizers. Due to this the current account deficit remained at $3.4 billion. However, workers' remittances have helped a lot in maintaining current account balance.
The current situation of imports and exports in Pakistan is not as favorable for the U.S. investors since high oil prices and energy crisis has increased the imports. Moreover, increase in exports level is also not satisfactory. However, if the U.S. investors invest in electricity plants then it will highly boost the level of exports and imports will decrease too. So there are high opportunities in energy sectors. Once the energy problems gets resolved, there will be large number of opportunities will also open for other investors.
Exchange Rate Stability
Due to recent tension that prevailed between U.S. And Pakistan on NATO routes to Afghanistan, the foreign aid and investments to Pakistan decreased. This made a bad impact on the value of Rupee as well. The Rupee value depreciated down to 97 per dollar. It was 89 per dollar till January 2012. However, the value of rupee has increased with 94.50 per dollar in July 2012. During this period, the foreign as well as local investors were not taking interest in investments in Pakistan. However, since the NATO routes have been restored, the investors' confidence and economy has raised. The stock market has already shown improvement in foreign exchange reserves and it is now expected that the economy will move towards growth and recovery. (Mahmood, 2012)
The exchange rate of Rupee-Dollar is expected to stabilize once the economic conditions and supply demand rate will improve.
Foreign Direct Investment Policies
The foreign direct investment to Pakistan stood at $668 million during the period July-April 2011-12 whereas it made $1,293 million last year. The global financial crunch and the euro zone crisis were the reasons of low capital flows. However, oil and gas exploration remained at the top for the foreign investors making share of 70% in total FDI during July-April 2011-12.
Pakistan has liberal investment policies on repatriation that made it ideal for the foreign investors from different scenarios. For example, foreign direct investors can enjoy remittance of royalty, technology and franchise fee is permissible for projects in agriculture, international food chains, infrastructure, and social services franchises. Secondly, there is minimum share of Pakistani partner in a joint venture. Thirdly, FBR also do not inquire the investor about the source of investment. Fourthly, foreign investors do not need to take permission from Government on investment in industrial project. Foreign investors can avail many other advantages on investing in Pakistan. (Masood, 2010)
The easy going FDI policies of Pakistan makes it an ideal country for U.S. investors since there are no strict laws and policies for the foreign investors. Moreover, there are opportunities of high return on investment in big projects like oil, gas and energy plants.
Taxation Policies
Pakistan applies zero-corporate tax policies for the foreign investors that make it easier for them to establish their business. However, majority investors are of the opinion that major hurdles are not the policies set by the country but the corruption, instable economy, terrorism activities and energy crisis are the central problems. Many foreign investors went through bad experiences of investment in Pakistan. The zero corporate tax policies first attracted the foreign investors but later on they were trapped in negative tactics of extorting taxes by corrupt leaders. (Dawn, 2012)
Labor Market and Employment
The higher percentage of Pakistan's population is of youth thus acting as the productive asset for the country. As according to the labor force survey of 2010-11, there were 57.2 million people in labor force out of which 53.8 million people were employed. Pakistan is making efforts to develop equitable, efficient and rights-based labor force market. Currently the wage rate is quite low as compared…[continue]

With this in mind communications strategy has to be developed and implemented. The central debate remains that of degree of uniformity. The pros and cons are obvious, i.e. economies of scale, consistent message across markets, centralized control, different market characteristics, media availability and costs and government regulations (Balabanis & Diamantopoulos, 2011). The stronger argument appears to be that different strategy appears to work in different situations, rather than a
Traditionally, Italians are very proud of their cooking, and eat their main meal at midday. These meals generally included pasta with either meat or fish. This is often preceded by an appetizer known as antipasto, which would include cold meats and vegetables. Like Spain, Italian food also differs by region.

ULAN-UDE, July 24 (Itar-Tass) —— Some 16 houses in the settlement Sbega were flooded on the Chernaya River in the Mogocha district in the Trans-Baikal Territory. "Some 64 people and 21 children, who live in the flooded houses, were accommodated at their relatives and acquaintances at the houses in the same settlement, but on the hill," a source in the emergency situation department in the Trans-Baikal Territory told Itar-Tass on Tuesday.
"The electric power supplies of the settlement were not disrupted. Two teams of emergency workers are controlling the situation. A total of 1,503 people, including 495 children, live in Sbega. Some 375 houses, a school, a rural medical station and the house of culture are situated in the settlement," the source said.
The emergency situation regime was announced over the flood in the Kalar district of the Trans-Baikal Territory on July 23. The water level is growing on the Chara River in the district over heavy rains since July 21. Some 20 countryside houses were flooded in the district centre Chara. Some 109 people live in the houses, to which the water came up, 22 of them were accommodated at their relatives and two pensioners were taken to the Kalar district hospital. The temporary station was prepared on the premises of a local school. In case of a worse situation other residents of the village will be resettled there.
Six farmyards with the houses, where ten families of 43 people live, were flooded in the village Chapo-Ologo, the source said. "In this village seven pylons of the 10 KW power lines fell down. The restoration works continue, a diesel generator was put into operation. Another two houses were flooded in the settlement Kust-Kemda. Residents of these houses were also accommodated at their relatives," the source said.
The high water level damaged two bridges across the rivers Anarga and Apsat, the section of the Chapa-Chapo-Ologo road was washed out. The boats are used to traffic people and foodstuffs to the flooded settlements. "The population of the district is constantly informed about the weather and the situation on the river through door-to-door visits and sms messages. The foodstuffs are delivered to the villages Chara, Kyust-Kemda, Chapo-Ologo, and the stock of the fuels and lubricants is created. The police have tightened the protection of the law and order. The situation on the rivers is being monitored constantly, the water level is measured every hour," the source said.
On Tuesday the water level in the Chara River in the Kalar district began going down.
The emergency situation department in the Trans-Baikal Territory has formed an interdepartmental emergency headquarters, which controls the delivery of food products to the flooded settlement and the progress of restoration works.

Kosher Deli Role At NFL Games
by Steve Lipman
Staff Writer
Photo Galleria:
Just what Wall Street trader Jonathan Katz always wanted: a slice of the action. Katz, who deals with hedge funds on weekdays, will handle pastrami and turkey on weekends this NFL season as a partner in Kosher Sports Inc., which will operate a pair of kosher food carts in Giants Stadium, in East Rutherford, N.J., during Giants and Jets game. The teams' home season starts Sunday, Sept. 7, with the Giants hosting the St. Louis Rams. The kiosk-on-wheels, which was completting negotiations this week to offer sandwiches and knishes and a pickle-on-a-stick and soft drinks, will be the first kosher vendor at Giants Stadium in recent memory. "Everyone else has it," Katz says. By everyone, he means Yankee Stadium and Shea Stadium in New York City, as well as ballparks in such cities as Baltimore, Cleveland and Phoenix. "It's all over the country." Why has it taken so long in metropolitan New York, which has the country's largest Jewish community? "Nobody pursued it," Katz says. So he brought his proposal to Giants Stadium. "They thought it's a great idea." The number of kosher-observant fans at the local NFL games "absolutely" warrants a kosher cart, Katz says, pointing out that fans are barred from bringing individual food packages into NFL stadiums under post-9-11 security regulations. The kiosks' pre-packaged food (the cart is slated to appear at nearby Continental Airlines Arena during NHL and NBA games) will be under the kashrut supervision of the Rabbinical Board of Bergen County. A washing station for the blessing on bread will be provided. In addition to the regular Sunday games, the kiosk will be open at two Monday night games and a Sunday night contest; it will be closed during three games scheduled on yom tov this season, on Rosh HaShanah, Sukkot and Simchat Torah. It will be open for the post-season playoffs, "if there are games" at the stadium. Katz, who lives in Englewood, N.J., is a Jets season ticket holder. This season, at work at the kiosk, he won't be able to watch his team. "I'll have to give the ticket to somebody," he says.

In this paper we examine usage patterns for these systems and map the patterns to widely used security standards and approaches. We focus on science gateways, a class of distributed system cyberinfrastructure. Science gateways are end user environments that provide access to a wide range of academic and commercial computing and storage resources for virtual organizations. Successful gateways focus on specific scientific communities and domains, but they build on many reusable features that can be provided by general purpose hosted platform services that can support multiple tenants. Providing a security framework for identity and access management for such hosted service removes the burden for each gateway to handle its user identity management and control access to its critical resources. From the resource provider's point of view, it provides a basis for more uniform accounting and auditing. Challenges arise from the range of gateways (both legacy and newly created), the range of technologies used to build them, and the range of end user environments (Web, mobile, desktop, and programmatic API clients) that gateways provide. Using Apache Airavata as an implementation, we examine three common gateway types based on where the user identity information is held and how these can be treated in a unified manner using OAuth2 and OpenID-Connect. Our solutions for identity and access management are not specific to Apache Airavata but can be generally applied to any e-Science platform. 2016-12-01T00:00:00Z A comprehensive pipeline for translational top-down proteomics from a single blood draw http://hdl.handle.net/2022/21091 A comprehensive pipeline for translational top-down proteomics from a single blood draw Toby, Timothy K.; Fornelli, Luca; Kristina, Srzentic; DeHart, Caroline J.; Fellers, Ryan T.; LeDuc, Richard D.; Kyunggon, Kim; Thomas, Paul M.; Levitsky, Josh M.; Kelleher, Neil L. Top-down proteomics (TDP) by mass spectrometry (MS) has become increasingly popular in translational spheres as researchers discern the value of proteoform-resolved measurements. The advent of robust prefractionation strategies for intact proteoforms and the emerging availability of high-resolution benchtop mass spectrometers have catalyzed the emergence of high-throughput TDP for the analysis of biological and clinical samples. Here, we provide a comprehensive protocol for TDP of a sample type often investigated in translational research: human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC). The workflow described herein comprises sample collection, cell lysis, proteoform prefractionation, instrument setup, liquid chromatography-tandem MS (LC-MS/MS) analysis, and data processing, for a minimum completion time of 48 hours. Importantly, this workflow is compatible with multiple PBMC processing strategies and existing biorepository practices, can be used for both small-scale targeted proteoform studies or large-scale multi-sample discovery studies, and has been successfully applied in quantitative contexts for biomarker discovery. 2016-11-01T00:00:00Z Jetstream - In production & supporting science http://hdl.handle.net/2022/21090 Jetstream - In production & supporting science Stewart, Craig A.; Hancock, David Y.; Laherty, Jennifer 2016-11-15T00:00:00Z

Matchup: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. St. Louis Cardinals Game 6
Date/Time: October 18th, 8:30 PM ET
Television: TBS
MLB Betting Odds from BetOnline Sportsbook
Probable Starters: Kershaw (Los Angeles) vs. Wacha (St. Louis)
Moneyline: Los Angeles -132
Total: 5.5
Runs have been tough to come by for the whole NLCS, but in Game 6 of the series on Saturday night in the Gateway to the West, we have a whole new meaning. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the St. Louis Cardinals have the first 5.5 for a 'total' that we have seen for the entire postseason.
It's understandable for sure to see why the 'total' in this game is so darn low. LHP Clayton Kershaw has literally been untouchable over the course of the whole postseason. In his three starts, one of which came on three days of rest against the Atlanta Braves in the NLDS, Kershaw has a 0.47 ERA and a 0.68 WHIP. He has allowed just a total of seven hits in 19 innings of work, and he has only surrendered the lone earned run in Game 1 against Atlanta. On top of that, the southpaw has 23 strikeouts, which gives him 255 whiffs this year in 255 innings of work. There has to be a real concern about innings pitched for Kershaw this year, and he didn't have his best stuff whatsoever in his last start, only lasting six frames. That's not good enough in this one. Kershaw is going until he drops, and we don't expect to see anyone in the bullpen set to relieve him for at least seven innings.
Though it seems like the edge here should be going to the Dodgers, perhaps we shouldn't be so quick to jump to that assumption. Manager Mike Matheny has an ace in the making in RHP Michael Wacha. The question: Has Wacha just had three awesome starts in a row, or can he really take this team on his back to the World Series? Wacha has been more nuts than Fozzie Bear sounds when he makes that stupid noise with his namesake. The righty has allowed one run in his last three outings, spanning 22.2 innings, and he has allowed just seven hits and five walks with 26 strikeouts. The one run? A solo homer against the Pittsburgh Pirates on the road in a do or die Game 4. That was the only hit that Pittsburgh managed the entire game. Parlay in there all the clutch bats that we have seen over the years in these spots for the Cards, and their fans have to think that they are going to be able to celebrate a spot in the Fall Classic when this night is said and done with.
This has been a much better series than most would imagine. We expect another great pitching performance out of both of these men, but we have to give the nod to the man who is going to win the Cy Young Award this year. Kershaw will go the distance and pitch his team into a Game 7 on Saturday, where the Dodgers will have as real of a chance as any team to get to the World Series.
Los Angeles Dodgers @ St. Louis Cardinals Pick: Los Angeles Dodgers -132

Marian Cavanagh
Yoga has been a joy of mine since my early teens, I loved how I gained a feeling of presence in my body and how my mind became more peaceful. And then in my thirties I discovered the Radiant Light style of yoga, and I felt so uplifted and nourished when practicing that I wanted to learn more.
Heather Kinang
Heather first stepped onto a yoga mat at university in 1981 when she was dragged to her first class and floated out the door. She believes a consistent yoga practice helps you achieve your highest level of wellbeing, both physically and emotionally, because, as Heather realised after her very fist yoga class, the lessons learned on the mat are lessons for life.
Kasia Kondas
Kasia's journey into yoga began in 2002. After years of working in the corporate world in Australia and Europe, Kasia took a sabbatical in South Africa where she began to practice yoga every day. She was invited to attend yoga teacher training and soon became a certified Ashtanga style instructor with a strong following.
Michael McDowall
I was first exposed to yoga as a child, and I recall sharing guided lying meditations on the lounge room floor to old cassettes, with my mum and sister. The peace, serenity and stillness experienced in these early practices are still the foundation of my practice, and these are the benefits of yoga that I most wish to share in my teaching today.
Miriana Rose
Growing up in a small island in New Zealand called Waiheke, Miriana was fortunate enough to spend the majority of my childhood with bare feet and sand and grass between her toes. By around the age of 17 the calling to be a yoga teacher was strong, it took her another 5 years to travel to India where she her Yoga Teacher Training began.
Fiona Overell
Fiona's younger years were filled with competitive sport, travel, corporate work and parties; living life in the fast lane but knowing something was missing. Her world changed dramatically when she witnessed debilitating illnesses in close family members and a realisation of how precious 'life' really is.
Nirvana Pilkington
From a young age, movement and bodywork have been a part of Nirvana's life. As a youngster, she was exposed to dance, various sports, drama, yoga and massage. Nirvana's practice and teaching has been immersed in a variety of styles and her classes have become a fusion of these elements.
Georgina Siddall
Having experienced the profound impact of yoga on her physical, mental and emotional health, Georgina is committed to sharing her love of yoga. Focusing on slow, flowing vinyasa yoga, Georgina brings yoga to life through the exploration of postures, breathing and meditation.
James Barrie
James love permaculture and sees yoga as an extension of that way of being. Just as we might learn to sustainably grow our own food and have our lessons reflected from the garden, so yoga sustains the body and mind and spirit and reflects our lessons from inner sources.
Pamela Walker
I began my yoga journey in 2000 as a form of relaxation and to manage back pain. I was soon attending 3 classes per week with different teachers to learn more and more because the benefits to my life were so great. In 2005, I qualified as a yoga teacher in the Sivananda tradition to give me a balanced practice of all aspects of a yogic lifestyle.
Sheridan Carpenter
A yoga practice has been a foundational element of Sheridan's life and her belief is that we all come to the mat for a variety of reasons at different times in our life's journey. Sheridan was fortunate to learn yoga at an early age with her mother, and it has been a constant ever since, providing her with balance and nourishment alongside a successful, rich and busy international career.
Bronwyn Wilson
She is very passionate about living a balanced life, combining healthy eating and exercise whilst enjoying time with friends and the good things in life.
Gabriel Reese
'Yoga Teaching' journey began in India through an intensive teacher training at a uniquely traditional Tantra yoga ashram. Being taught a traditional system of yoga handed down over many generations inspired Gabriel to teach and share the science of yoga.
Tanya Zappala
Tanya has been teaching students yoga in Brisbane for over 10 years and she continues to find joy every day in helping people through their yoga journey. Her training comes from varied yogic traditions, which Tanya feels is a blessing as it is a reminder that we all have something valuable to share.
Kylie Skillen
I was initially drawn to Ashtanga yoga 12 years ago for its physical benefits, but quickly realised the power of yoga on the mind, body and spirit. My yoga classes focus on using the breath as the unbroken thread to flow throughout the practice, adjusting the pose to the individual to create a positive experience for students of all levels.

decided: July 12, 1978.
COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, APPELLEE,v.JEFFREY CLARK, APPELLANT
No. 43 March Term, 1977, Appeal from the Judgment of Sentence of the Court of Common Pleas of Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, at Nos. 138, 139, 140 Criminal Division 1975.
Joshua D. Lock, Public Defender, Harrisburg, for appellant.
Marian E. MacIntyre, Second Assistant District Attorney, with her, LeRoy S. Zimmerman, District Attorney, Harrisburg, for Commonwealth, appellee.
Watkins, President Judge, and Jacobs, Hoffman, Cercone, Price, Van der Voort and Spaeth, JJ. Watkins, former President Judge, did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case.
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 99]
Following a jury trial appellant was found guilty of robbery,*fn1 aggravated assault*fn2 and conspiracy.*fn3 A sentence of ten to twenty years imprisonment was imposed on the robbery conviction. In addition, appellant received a five to ten year concurrent prison sentence on the aggravated assault indictment. No sentence was imposed on the conspiracy conviction other than a direction to pay the costs of prosecution. The sole issue on this appeal is whether the evidence is sufficient to sustain the verdicts.
It is fundamental that "[t]he test for the sufficiency of evidence in a criminal case is whether, viewing all the evidence admitted at trial in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth and drawing all reasonable inferences favorable to the Commonwealth, there is sufficient evidence to enable the trier of fact to find every element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." Commonwealth v. Bastone, 466 Pa. 548, 552, 353 A.2d 827, 829 (1976); Commonwealth v. Whitfield, 474 Pa. 27, 376 A.2d 617 (1977). See also Commonwealth v. Roux, 465 Pa. 482, 350 A.2d 867 (1976).
The record, considered in accordance with the foregoing principles, establishes the following: In the afternoon of December 30, 1974, Frank Brinser, an undercover narcotics agent employed by the Bureau of Drug Control, and George Waters, a police informant, were "cruising" the uptown area of Harrisburg in search of narcotics. While driving past the Three Lucky Dots Bar, Waters observed one Michael Johnston*fn4 standing outside in front of the bar. Johnston was an acquaintance of Waters and known to Waters as an individual capable of obtaining drugs. After calling Johnston over
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 100]
to Brinser's vehicle, Waters soon turned the conversation to the subject of narcotics. Johnston indicated heroin could be purchased and went inside the bar to check the quantity available. In the meantime, agent Brinser and Waters moved the vehicle to a parking spot on the other side of the street directly across from the bar. Johnston emerged from the bar a few minutes later and joined Brinser and Waters in the vehicle where he informed them he would be able to obtain the desired amount of heroin. During the course of this conversation appellant, a black man, who is well over six feet tall and was attired in a white suit, appeared on the sidewalk some twenty to thirty yards from the vehicle and was identified by Johnston as the person from whom he was going to purchase the heroin. When Johnston attracted his attention, appellant responded by shaking his head in a negative manner and walked into the bar. Johnston then re-entered the bar in an attempt to persuade appellant to make the sale inside the vehicle. Shortly thereafter Johnston returned to the vehicle and reported that the transaction would have to be consummated inside the bar, but that agent Brinser could accompany him. While walking toward the bar Brinser stopped, bent down and removed a roll of bills from his sock, counted out $150.00 and placed the remainder back in his sock. At the same time, one Howard Cobb was on the other side of the street and also walking toward the bar. Cobb, apparently having observed Brinser's actions, followed the agent and Johnston into the bar.
Once inside the bar Johnston, agent Brinser and appellant met in the bathroom. Agent Brinser then glanced out the partially open door and observed Howard Cobb lurking outside the door. Cobb was the individual who was outside the bar when Brinser took the money from his sock. Brinser asked Johnston who Cobb was and Johnston warned him to "watch that dude." Immediately thereafter Johnston and Cobb switched places, that is, Cobb was now inside the bathroom and Johnston was just outside the door. Appellant, however, remained in the rear portion of the restroom. At this point, Cobb suddenly pushed agent Brinser against
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 101]
the wall and demanded his money. When Brinser refused, Cobb began beating him severely and grabbed the $150.00 out of the agent's hand. After a brief pause Cobb demanded more money and then resumed his assault. While trying to fend off Cobb's blows agent Brinser noticed that two individuals were still standing inside the bathroom door. Brinser recognized one of the men as Johnston, but was unable to identify the other individual. As Cobb continued his assault one of the two men standing inside the restroom door stated, "You better give him all the money or we'll kill you." At this juncture Brinser, fearing for his life, drew his revolver, shot Cobb twice and fled the bar.
Both appellant and Johnston took the stand in their own defense. Johnston testified that he never had an agreement with appellant to deliver drugs. He did admit, however, that at the behest of agent Brinser and Waters he agreed to try and determine if any drugs were available in the bar. Johnston further stated that he asked several people in the bar -- including appellant -- whether they had any drugs and they all responded negatively. In short, Johnston admitted that he attempted to procure drugs, but that his efforts were unsuccessful and, in addition, that he never told Brinser or Waters that appellant would sell them drugs.
Appellant testified that he never saw Johnston until the day of the incident when Johnston approached him concerning the availability of drugs. Appellant also denied any participation in the robbery and assault and battery of agent Brinser. Indeed, appellant stated he was outside the bar when the shooting occurred. We are of the opinion the evidence was sufficient to establish appellant's guilt on the conspiracy charge, but not on the robbery and aggravated assault charges. With respect to the conspiracy charge, the Commonwealth proceeded on the theory that appellant and Johnston had agreed to sell heroin. The crux of appellant's argument is that his complicity in the conspiracy was based entirely on circumstantial evidence. While appellant concedes circumstantial evidence may properly sustain a conviction, Commonwealth v. Hubbard, 472 Pa. 259, 372 A.2d 687
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 102]
(1977), he argues that his conviction for conspiracy was predicated upon suspicion and conjecture. We conclude otherwise.
The essence of the crime of conspiracy is a common understanding or agreement. Commonwealth v. Roux, 465 Pa. 482, 350 A.2d 867 (1976); Commonwealth v. Cameron, 247 Pa. Super. 435, 372 A.2d 904 (1977). This does not mean, however, that the Commonwealth must prove an explicit or formal agreement to establish the existence of a conspiracy. Commonwealth v. Roux, supra; Commonwealth v. Cameron, supra. "Indeed, direct proof of an explicit or formal agreement to commit a crime can seldom, if ever, be supplied and it need not be for 'it is established law in this Commonwealth that a conspiracy may be proved by circumstantial evidence as well as by direct evidence.'" Commonwealth v. Roux, supra, 465 Pa. at 482, 350 A.2d at 870, quoting Commonwealth v. Eiland, 450 Pa. 566, 570, 301 A.2d 651 (1973). While mere association alone will not suffice, "[a] conspiracy may be inferentially established by showing the relation, conduct or circumstances of the parties, and the overt acts on the part of co-conspirators have uniformly been held competent to prove that a corrupt confederation has in fact been formed: [cite omitted]." Commonwealth v. Horvath, 187 Pa. Super. 206, 211, 144 A.2d 489, 492 (1958); Commonwealth v. Roux, supra; Commonwealth v. Eiland, supra.
Instantly, while there was no direct evidence of an unlawful agreement, the circumstantial evidence warranted the inference that appellant and Johnston conspired to sell narcotics. Without reiterating all of the facts heretofore discussed, the evidence shows, inter alia, that Johnston identified appellant as the individual from whom he was going to obtain the heroin; when Johnston beckoned appellant to the agent's van appellant shook his head negatively indicating he would not sell narcotics outside the bar. After Johnston informed agent Brinser that the deal would have to be consummated in the bathroom of the bar, appellant immediately preceded them into the small restroom upon
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 103]
observing their approach. While any one of these events standing alone would not establish a conspiracy to sell drugs, when viewed in conjunction with each other and in the context in which they occurred, we believe they furnished a "combination of evidence link the appellant to the crime beyond a reasonable doubt." Commonwealth v. Petrisko, 442 Pa. 575, 580, 275 A.2d 46, 49 (1971); Commonwealth v. Whitfield, 474 Pa. 27, 376 A.2d 617, 625 (1977).
Turning to the robbery and aggravated assault charges, we are constrained to find the evidence insufficient to support the verdicts. On these charges it was the Commonwealth's position that although it was Cobb who actually assaulted and robbed agent Brinser, appellant was equally liable as an accomplice. Section 306 of the Crimes Code supra, 18 Pa.C.S. § 306, provides in pertinent part as follows:
"(b) Conduct of another. -- A person is legally accountable for the conduct of another person when:
(3) he is an accomplice of such other person in the commission of the offense."
Under § 306(c) a person is an accomplice if:
"(1) with the intent of promoting or facilitating the commission at the offense, he:
(i) solicits such other to commit it; or
(ii) aids or agrees or attempts to aid such other person in planning or committing it; or
(2) his conduct is expressly declared by law to establish his complicity."
"To 'aid and abet' in the commission of a crime, one must possess a shared intent to commit it. [Citations omitted.]" Commonwealth v. Henderson, 249 Pa. Super. 472, 378 A.2d 393, 398 (1977). Moreover, mere presence of the scene of the crime, standing alone is insufficient "to establish that one is an active partner in the intent of another to commit the crime." Commonwealth v. Fields, 460 Pa. 316, 320, 333 A.2d 745, 747 (1975); Commonwealth v. Henderson, supra.
The Commonwealth's evidence was insufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that appellant was an
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 104]
active partner in Cobb's intent to rob and assault agent Brinser. Viewed in the light most favorable to the Commonwealth, the record establishes no more than appellant's presence in the restroom when the assault and robbery occurred.*fn5 The record is devoid of any indication that appellant ever communicated with Cobb either prior to or during the course of the assault. Cobb was a stranger to the narcotics arrangement. From the evidence he was engaged only in the assault and robbery incident. Agent Brinser's testimony that one of the two other individuals inside the bathroom admonished: "You better give him all the money or we'll kill you;" and his testimony that, "there might have been more than one person hitting me," is insufficient to establish appellant's active participation in the attack absent any evidence identifying appellant as the individual who gave the warning or actually struck the agent.*fn6 Here, there was no such evidence.
In Commonwealth v. Garrett, 423 Pa. 8, 222 A.2d 902 (1966), the victim was beaten and robbed while walking across a bridge. Prior to being knocked unconscious the victim noticed four men on the bridge with him. The evidence established that the appellant was one of the four men, but the victim could not state whether all four men attacked him or identify the appellant as one of the assailants. The Court held that although appellant was present on the scene, both prior and subsequent to the assault, mere presence alone was insufficient to establish appellant's participation in the robbery. See also Commonwealth v. Fields, 460 Pa. 316, 333 A.2d 745 (1975); Commonwealth v. Cox, 460 Pa. 566, 333 A.2d 917 (1975).
Instantly, the evidence -- other than appellant's presence at the scene of the assault and robbery -- "is so weak and inconclusive that as a matter of law the inferences of fact necessary to establish guilt could not be reasonably drawn."
[ 256 Pa. Super. Page 105]
Commonwealth v. Cox, supra, 460 Pa. at 571, 333 A.2d at 919. In sum, while we find the evidence in this case sufficient to establish a conspiracy between appellant and Johnston to sell narcotics, we further find that this same evidence proves no more than a failure to consummate the unlawful transaction due to the intervening and independent criminal conduct of Cobb.
Finally, in view of our determination that the evidence is insufficient to sustain the convictions on the robbery and aggravated assault indictments, we must remand the record to the court below for resentencing on the valid conspiracy conviction. Commonwealth v. Lockhart, 223 Pa. Super. 60, 296 A.2d 883 (1972); Commonwealth v. Rios, 246 Pa. Super. 479, 371 A.2d 937 (1977).
Judgments of sentence on the robbery and aggravated assault indictments vacated. Case remanded for resentencing on the conspiracy indictment.

MONTREAL - About 10 per cent of Quebecers have lost electricity this afternoon, the second day of blackouts brought on by powerful forest fires in the province's north.
Hydro-Quebec says 500,000 households or businesses were affected at the peak of today's blackout but they say service is being gradually restored.
Earlier in the day, Hydro-Quebec's president had explained the cause of the problem.
Thierry Vandal said smoke from powerful forest fires in northern Quebec had prompted a major transmission line to seize up in the north, causing a cascading effect.
The impact yesterday was felt in Montreal's subway system, which was temporarily shut down. There are reports today that shopping centres around the city have lost power.
Quebec provincial teams are battling a number of blazes, with help from Parks Canada.
More than 280,000 hectares of forested area have been scorched, and hundreds of residents have been evacuated from the northwestern Quebec community of Eastmain.

New tax assessments in Rocky Hill.
The fight goes on. The town assessors office informed me that the 'average' increase in value was 30%. Mine when up 42% based on a bogus assessment the last time with incorrect information about my property. (wrong number of room, bathrooms etc) anyway_ 30% for most of you.. Now let's look at some FACTS instead of corrupt town officials fantasy. Here is a FACT: The median sale price of a house today in RH is about 15% more than it was at the time of the last assessment. 15%. Not 30. http://www.zillow. com/real-estate/CT -Rocky%20Hill And the numbers are headed DOWN not up. -8.3% last year and nearly that much the year before. The REALITY is they are driving this boat into the weeds. They will kill this states economy if they don't stop. The average age in this town increases every year. Why? Because young employed people simply can't afford to live here. When the average age reaches 65 how do you think the tax revenue and economy will be? They have taken the assessment values and detached them from reality because the town needs more money. If our tax assessment are not based on reality then what are they based on? Who you know? The system and powers in local office are out of control. They don't care about reality all they care about is generating more income for the 'town'. So back to our 30%.. Do you think they will drop the mill rate by 8 or 9 points to make up for that. Noooo... They won't. So every one of you will be looking at a significant tax increase for next year. Mine is probably going to be about 1600 or so. From 4.3K up to 5.9 or so. Where the hell am I supposed to come up with that sort of money. It is insane. Time for a tea party I think., (Dec 4, 2008 | post #6)
New tax assessments in Rocky Hill.
I know all about how to fight city hall. I'll win as well because their numbers are insane AND the information on the house is wrong. Tax assessment records are public information and you don't even have to go into the office to pull whatever comps you need. I have a list of 10 houses in my area that are larger, newer, have more rooms and have lower assessment values. The problem seems to be an issue of who your buddies are in this town. Pretty obvious on a lot of these numbers. I doubt that I have a good enough case to accuse anyone of out right fraud but I surely have enough to get my number adjusted. If you can't tell the difference between some one spouting off in an anonymous forum and actually being in the assessors office then it would appear that I am not the one needing a reality check. I fail to see the connection between yelling fire in a movie theater and making statements about a politician. Can anyone say, "non-sequitur "? Also I don't appreciate being called a liar particularly when the person accusing me offers no evidence to the contrary. (Nov 27, 2008 | post #4)

Sure your right. I'll demonstrate. Come here with the intention of taking my guns and I'll shoot you. How's that for violence? On the other hand come here and try to take my BMW and I'll run you over with the damn thing. We get so passionate about our possessions sometimes. We do love 'our stuff'. Ah... Fast women, fast cars, loud guns... It is REALLY good to be an American. I ashamed for Texas. I would have expected they would have expelled you by now. Check the housing prices in France.

Sensible guns are like sensible cars. Do I really "need" a car that does 140mph and 0 to 60 in 5.2 seconds?! No.. BUT I WANT ONE!! When exactly did the government get into the business of determining what we "need"_ as opposed to what we "want"? Talk about fascism, ah or is that totalitarianism? I get confused. Ever sense the Marxists rebranded themselves as "progressives " the whole thing is confusing to me. (Nov 26, 2008 | post #2354)
Rocky Hill Ranked No. 35 Among `Best Places To Live' -- C...
I love it when there are serious discussions about politics and some simpleton that wants to shift the discussion to football_ or some other sport he can't play but loves to watch. Sports people basically have no lives or existence of their own. They live vicariously though the bodies of their 'make believe' over paid heroes. Rocky hill is packed with simple old minded union blue collar guys. Too stupid to keep up with the reality of politics today they live in the past. They still think the democrats are the 'working mans' party. Clueless. They still think the teachers union is fighting for better education. Yes they are silly old people with the average age going higher and higher every year. Rocky Hill is a place with no future. Drunk police or inbred politicians aside. Young people leave because there is absolutely no reason to stay there. Not only is there no reason to stay, staying actually costs a fortune. Now there was some idiot on here that thought RH had the lowest taxes around. Gheez. Talk about clueless. The "mill" rate says little about the actual taxes people are paying. When the town assesses property at 3 times the actual value then the mill rate is sort of irrelevant. Our house goes on the market this spring. Rocky Hill is a good place to be 'from'. I hope to God we can sell it for half of what the assessors office says it is worth. I'll take less. Just make me an offer. See ya 'progressives', Rocky Hill and Hartford (Pravda) courant. Good luck with your tax deficit. I hope to never come back. (Nov 26, 2008 | post #33)
New tax assessments in Rocky Hill.
Wow! I guess they are expecting to pass that 72 million dollar boondoggle sometime soon. I just got my new tax assessment. I dont know what planet these morons come from but they cranked up my assessment by 42% !!!! How is that even possible?! If one dweeb in the assessors office will give me the market value of my OLD assessment they can have this house in a NY minute. They are off their rockers down there. Has anyone told them the prices of houses have DECLINED in the past 2 years? Not to mention they didnt even look inside. Drive-by assessment. I did some sale price checking over the past 2 years around here and cant even find ONE sale on a comparable house 5% over my old assessment value. This is nuts. Im calling an agent tomorrow. I can only hope to sell and get out of here before this BS takes effect. Shit_ If I was looking to buy this house and got wind of that bogus assessment I would probably back out of the deal. I pray to God that I can sell for 80% of my old assessment value but Ill bet it will be tough. Dont worry I wont let the door hit me in the ass on the way out. Basically, after these morons are done I wont have an ass. (Nov 22, 2008 | post #1)
Rocky Hill To Ask Voters For $71.1 Million In School Cons...
Okay there yay it might be time to move but the reason to move is to get away from people who seem to think that every part of their lives should be better or easier because the town is providing for them. Sounds like a typical Yankee government dependent socialist. Just like all the other so called 'progressives' we have around here. They aren't progressive at all. They are pro-government-opp ression. Do a little better than the guy next door and they want a little more from you. A progressive government would encourage people to "do better", around here (and soon in the whole country) they punish you for it. There is nothing progressive about that. Oh people might move out but not just out of RH. They will move out of CT and not because some school buildings are a bit run down. They will move out because if they work for a living they can't afford to live here anymore. The same reason young people aren't moving in or staying when they complete their education. The only thing this state has going for it is that it is slightly cheaper to live here than NY. So if you work in NY you probably will at some point live in CT. Other than that? This is an insane place to live. High costs, high taxes, 80% (and growing) of the population completely dependent on the state in one way or another. Dependents. That is what they grow here. Either monthly checks, the state services, or employment. The incompetence of government stinks to the heavens but people just keep electing who ever promises more. (Nov 19, 2008 | post #44)

Rocky Hill To Ask Voters For $71.1 Million In School Cons...
I am also over 55 but I have the misfortune of still having to earn a living here. Glad to hear you are apparently independently wealthy. An intelligent person looks at how the money is managed. Not how much money there is. You want money squandered on the wasteful mismanaged school system? Then stop the leaf collections, stop the trash pick up, stop the branch and limb collection and lame senior programs and put that money into the schools. If education is so valuable and you are under the delusion that we are getting our moneys worth then cut some other services to pay for it. Dont just keep raising the tax on people. Im not happy in Rocky Hill and I will be more than happy to move as soon as the house I bought is worth what I paid for it. If the values keep going down Ill just let it go into foreclosure. Isnt that the American way? Give me a bailout. I deserve it. What you are promoting is a downward spiral of depreciating property value and an economy that drives the young people out because they cant afford to live here. I have a number of kids and a bunch of grand kids. Ya know what? None of them live here any more. They cant afford it. It is high time people stopped thinking about how much it costs to live in our town vs what it cost to live in this state. Just because the state picks up 20 or 30 or even 40% of the tab doesnt make it free. Corrupt spending, cronies, over priced services, good ol boy handshakes putting millions into buddies pockets is why the town cant get anything done at a reasonable price. Wake up man. It shouldnt cost 70 million dollars to upgrade a couple of buildings. Any more than it should cost 4 million dollars to put in a couple of docks. Ya know what there mr senior. Last year my tax burden between the state and the feds and the town was 50 thousand dollars. Thats right 50K. How is your contribution coming? I have a modest home here. I cant afford a large home because I have to basically support an entire second family I have never met with my meager income. Enough is enough. This spending and waste has got to stop and this is a good place to start. (Nov 5, 2008 | post #32)

"You're welcome Brian. However, it's just a temporary reprieve. The council will toss this around like a hot potato and settle on some version(s) that will eventually be presented in a special ballot. Voter turn out will be dismal and IMO, some version of this proposal will pass in 2009." Oh I have been here before. My last battle was in Tolland. Where we lost. Eventually. After 4 times bringing the same bull shit to the table. These are the tactics of the union controlled democratic party. Just keep bring it up until the people tire of the issue. On and on and on they press until no one cares any more. Stinking scum. They force their special interests on the people because their jobs, their stinking corrupt waste and buddy contracts and their pensions depend on it. I am sick and tired of being held hostage by the special interest teacher's union and their cronies. I'll be pounding on doors for the next round. It is personal now. I'm retired now so I have lots of time on my hands. Prepare for battle. I know you will never give up but I will die fighting you. You parents out there. Take responsibility and pay your own way.

Now I can join with Rev. Write. and say: G.D. America. Actually you have already done it. People that don't understand the difference between capitalism and socialism, between freedom and government oppression will get exactly what they deserve. The truly sad part is the ignorance that spawned this event. I am embarrassed for my entire generation. They have forgotten how we got here. The only thing I regret more than seeing this day is the fact that I had four children and will be leaving them in this pile of horse shit. Oh well I wasn't going to retire for about 8 years but no point in staying employed now. I guess that I'll just kick back and start drawin' a check with the rest of them. The government will take care of me. After all_ I deserve it. I wonder how much he can actually screw up in four years? I'm sure it will be simply amazing. Nice going there republicans. This was the best you could do? Pretty sad. The good news is that this event may set the stage for a third party. Lord knows you would have to be an idiot to support the republicans from this point on. Only a fool would stay on that sinking ship. (Nov 5, 2008 | post #746)
