Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
UPDATE TO Mrs. Flinger October 16, 2015
Because the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, after this delcaration, my blog threw up all over my last upgrade.
So I'm starting over using Craft. Turning 40 and kid entering Jr High next year, sometimes it's just time for a change. These archives will still exist in the way the last child goes off to college and their room is the same for 20 years, but it's just time to move forward.
The Tale of Costco (aka: Why you are thankful you don't live by us) Jul 31, 2009
I hate Costco. I hate Costco the way alcoholics hate bars. The way recovering smokers hate Neil Diamond concerts.
My children, they amplify the situation.
We call Costco the $100 store. It's the place you walk in needing two things and walk out with a tab well over $100. "We need diapers and toothpaste." I mark it off the list. An hour and seventeen items later, the cashier says, "$234 dollars please." Every. Single. Time.
My children begin to foam at the mouth about a mile before the turn in. "Are we going to COSTCO?!" my four year old yells. "Yes!" I reply. My two year old says, "SAMPLE? SAMPLE?" And then the foaming, it gets worse until the time we actually walk in to the store and I'm carting around two rabid dogs who refuse a leash. They seek out the sweet little sample ladies like drug dogs on a bust. They can smell frozen ravioli from seven isles over.
I'd be proud if this was a marketable skill.
Usually at some point during the whole charade known as "shopping", the children begin to melt down. The samples have been licked clean, the isles of canned goods stretch out in a foreboding hike and the massive amounts of bread selection tower like mountains.
They totally. Loose. Their. Minds.
At this point I turn to some lovely couple in the bread isle. They are discussing the merits of Whole Grain vs Whole Wheat. I lean in and whisper, "We're walking birth control, I swear."
They don't laugh.
And so it continues. We smack in to isles of people quietly hoping to get their dinner and perhaps a vat of mayonnaise before heading home. We echo through the store as my two, yes, I only have two, children whine and fight and I think, perhaps, start speaking in tongues.
We finally hit the checkout.
"Hi, thank you, that will be $234" as I slide my card. I look over to the spawn of my loins, the physical love of my husband and me, about the time they begin pulling the "Childrens' Hospital Donations" sign off the wall. The checker is disapproving. The people behind me wonder what kind of mother I am.
I look at my cart filled with diapers, bread, milk and cheese. I see the huge boxes of graham crackers and cheerios. I wonder, not quietly, why Costco doesn't sell massive quantities of condoms among the vats of oil and 4lb bag of chips.
Then I remember, they have us. Who needs birth control when you can shop with the Flingers?
Just sayin'.

My son will already make a wonderful husband. And he's two. Jul 30, 2009
As a girl, with a mom of girls, I never truly "got" the Mama's Boy thing. But it happened before he was born. I thought it was because he was my second born, the baby I could comprehend before I saw him, the kicking that I already understood deep inside my belly.
Now I know it was because of him. Who he is.
I have two children and I connected with them both. I understand my daughter from a "been there" perspective. I can read her and I remember what it was like being a four year old starting ballet. I understand when she just needs time without her younger sibling and I identify with some of her frustrations with school friends.
But my son? My son gets ME. My two year old will ask, "k? Mommy?" If I cough. He will come up and grab my leg on a difficult day and squeeze until my eyes fill with a different type of tear. He will pull his fingers through my hair absentmindedly as we watch Einsteins. He puts one hand on each of my cheeks to turn my head to him so he can kiss my lips goodnight.
His heart is as big as the sun and as warm. Most of the time, barring his two year old genetics, when I ask him to do something he will say, "OK, Mommy!" and he comes to get "screen on!" (Translation: Sunscreen) or "SHOES! ME DO IT!" or "HALP?"
He pats me on the back when he hugs me and his tiny hands make me forget what I was doing.
My son is growing up to be a man I will be proud of. He has his daddy's compassion and logic. He's all smiles and laughter and blocks and cars. He snuggles a blanket and a WWE figure at night.
He is boy. He is man. He is mine.
The day he meets a woman who he can care for, I will welcome her in to our lives. I will be happy for my son as he continues in to his own life, as he walks in to his own future. But I will tell her as they dance their first dance as husband and wife to be good to him.
I know he will be good to her.
It's who he is.
My son.
My brush, literally, with fame (a blogHer tale) Jul 29, 2009
**April, 2013** Hello and welcome! If this is your first time here, I'd love to meet you. I've recently written about being diagnosed with Adult ADHD, spent much of last year traveling and went back to work full time as a Program Manager for Media at a large global company. My children are 8 and 6 and I love talking to people with similar stories. Be sure to say hi and pull up a chair. I'll grab the coffee. (Or tea for my UK friends with milk and sugar.)**
I walked in to the keynote, searching the thousands of faces to find "my people." I wonder in and out of tables bumping in to elbows and computers. I recognize a few features but I continue to bump, walk, bump, walk looking for my table.
I spot the table of women more familiar than their pictures or email addresses. Vivaciously, as only I am known to do, I yell out, "There are MAH BEESHES! Wuz up Mothah Fuckahs!" I glance around the table taking in each face that I adore. I see Angie, Dawn, Molly, Shonda, Sam and Karen and…. who's this? I don't recognize the lovely lady in the red hair so poised next to my flamboyant friends. "Hi! I'm Mrs…" It hits me about the same time Angie pipes up, "This is Ree Drummond? THE PIONEER WOMAN."
There is a silence and my mouth hits the floor.
I stumble over to hug her, gush, possibly lick her feet. She says in her polite southern accent, "I was just admiring your belly." I laugh as she touches my two year postpartum belly. "This?" I exclaim, "This is old left over from before." I can tell she feels bad. She recovers and says, "At least yours is in the front, mine is all in the rear."
I hug her. I could package her up and take her home with me.
At some point during the keynote I look over and she looks as thought she feels just terrible. But! It's her lucky day! She's talking to me. Remember? The girl that did the five most stupidest things possible last year at BlogHer? The girl that went up to four, no five, different people thinking they were OTHER people only to get three sentences in before said mistake person clears up my error?
The girl who spilled, and broke, a glass of wine. Totally sober, mind you.
The girl who says all the wrong things at all the wrong times.
The girl who fifteen minutes earlier asked, "Does this dress make me look pregnant?" only to find out, from her idol that yes! Yes it does.
I'll never wash the dress that Ree touched.
Thankfully Ree is the kind of classy gal that can laugh with me over this. "Remember that time…" I picture saying to her in a year at the next conference where she wins some more big awards. And then I'll ask when the lady next to me is due. And it'll be my humiliation.
To everything turn turn turn…

** update, it happened again. March 2, 2010
I am. Jul 25, 2009
I picture Jesus sitting at his laptop alone in his hotel room in Jerusalem. He's kicked off his sandals (marketed simply as "Jesus Sandals") and stretches as he launches notepad. He has an inspired word and he begins to type. He starts: "I am Jesus. I want to share with you some ideas I have. Simple, easy ideas that will bring us all together. I want to give us community and peace and harmony. This world is a fucked up one, but I believe we are each able to contribute to the happiness of others. Cut the bullshit. Let's love."
He eyes his writing wondering if it's too harsh. He hits the backspace key 413 times Click Click Click Click Click… He stops short and leaves the "I am."
I am.
He ponders there for a while unaware of the consequences of this action, the impact it will have on his life and those for two thousand years and beyond. He wavers for a moment and stands to grab a drink, his favorite, wine.
Pausing long enough to fill another glass, he hits publish with those two words. "I am."
It's powerful and people comment.
There is hate-mail.
There is blasphemy.
There is confusion.
He steps up to defend his writing wanting to express the rest of the sentence unable to complete his thought. His community is angry, he has failed as his attempt to connect, he is hurt and saddened by the response.
It was supposed to be different.
This is how I picture each entry before I hit publish. I waver at times, wondering if anything truly meaningful will be well received. At times I hover above caring and calling the bullshit. Sometimes I'm not sure what the bullshit is. I hit delete 413 times unable to find the words to bond and not divide.
I stop short and hit publish all too often.
We are Jesus.
You are Jesus.
I am Jesus.
I am.
Five Reasons You Will Not Be A Dork At BlogHer (so stop worrying about it) Jul 15, 2009
Last year I popped my BlogHer cherry. I went with my my close friends and we were there for each other to share shoes and do makeup and hair and in general ease the fears of our own insecurities. Or rather, they eased mine. (They don't know a lot of bloggers so it was, "Hu, who's that again? Who's Isabell?" and I whisper "She's kinda a big deal")
Because I am… well… me, I do things in a Flinger sort of a way. Let's recap the top five Flingerisms from BlogHer 08 and why you can rest assured you will do better, shall we?
1. I randomly hug pregnant women when pregnant. Two different occasions I found myself hugging (randomly) Kristin Chase and Amalah. Twice. I threw myself at them and their lovely pregnant bellies and they were so kind and so sweet they STILL TALKED TO ME later. Those ladies? Got class.
2. I met Maggie Mason and I had no idea. This is pretty much how that rolled out:
me: Hi! I'm Mrs. Flinger! Nice to meet you. :: pauses for recognition because EVERYONE KNOWS MISSUS FLINGER. (cough)
her: Hi! Welcome to the party. I'm Maggie Mason.
me: :: chokes on wine :: MAGGIE MASON!? AS IN THE MAGGIE. MASON. (realizes am using outside voice and gets awkward.)
her: Yes, that's me. :: shakes hand :: Make yourself at home. (Thinks to herself, "freak".)
3. Kelley noticed, and called me out, on my dirty feet. I don't like shoes, ok? So sitting there in the keynote I hear, "Missus FLINGER! Look at YOUR FEET WOMAN!" and I see the lovely Kelley pointing at my retched feed. It was funny. In a "guess you had to be there" kind of a way. As in….. later….
4. I licked Isabell Kalman and it looked like bad porn.
Enough said.
(Really, SHE ASKED ME TO. I swear, this was not a rape-licking)
5. I spilled Teh Wine at Guy's house. On my swag. And washed my feet in his pool.
Dear god of holy hell that's mortifying. GUY'S HOUSE. You know him, right? (duh)
——————Other Highlights—————
1. Meeting Aimmeeeee (I give her shit about her spelling) and having her blog the following conversation:
Greeblemonkey: Oh look! There's paella!
Flinger: I don't think I read her!
2. Having some freak show hit on Jenny and me and getting him kicked out of the hotel.
3. Making Cat Schwartz say she knows who we are on video:
And, really, there are too many more to admit here. Just, look, you'll be fine. I promise. Hang out with me and you'll look like a freakin' STAR.
Trust me.
The Ugly Jul 13, 2009
Sometimes I have The Ugly. The Ugly tends to show up when I'm emotional, irrational, bloated, tired or overwhelmed. The Ugly can start from anything: a facebook update, a tweet, a post, a real life jab.
The Ugly? It sucks.
It sucks out my happiness, my joy, my security, my stamina, my confidence. It reduces a good, healthy, happy 33 year old woman in to a 15 year old girl with zits and generic jeans.
The Ugly, it is bad.
I often recognize The Ugly as just what it is: Ugly. I see it from my place of confidence and can see through its irrationality. But when The Ugly strikes, its loud voice takes over my own and pushes all the confidence down in to one big pile of jealousy.
The Ugly can wear anything but it usually shows up in sweats and makes itself at home.
The Ugly can be a bitch and take up all the sanity in a room.
The Ugly can bring a pack of beer and drink it all.
The Ugly often has no patience.
The Ugly piles on. On the todo list, on the "things you fuck up" list, on the "people you've let down" list.
I am not the sum of The Ugly, but rather someone who falls in to its trap. Most days I can shake off The Ugly.
Today, I'm arm wrestling with it. And I'm hoping I win.
P.S. I wrote this last week and today saw Amanda wrote about competitive people and it hit me: That? Is. The. Ugly. It's the competition where there is none. It's the jealousy of losing when there is no race. So.. just.. wow. And thank you.
Facebook, you're forgiven Jul 10, 2009
#The College Angsty Years#Family Life
Whatever issues I've had with facebook, and I have, are gone today. Suddenly today I saw the most amazing use of facebook and I'm thankful over and over for it.
I've mentioned my friend Amy who's breast cancer took us from her family and friends entirely too early. It hit home too close and too hard for me. It was hard.
I was unable to make it to her memorial here in town. I was sad for that fact but I forgave myself because I knew I would've lost my shit if I'd gone. I mean The Big Ugly Crying.
But the community that Amy created around herself and those who knew her is a wonderful one and I did miss out on celebrating Amy's life with them. Until today.
Today I went to her Facebook page just because I was thinking of her. Today I realized a lot of people are going to Amy's facebook page because they are thinking of her. They are talking to her, leaving her notes, telling her about her children and about daily life and sharing stories of love and comfort and remembering.
Today I hugged my daughter and son a bit tighter because of facebook.
Today I remembered a great friend because of facebook.
Today I realized how we touch people in the world beyond what we even comprehend because of facebook.
I hope it's ok that I share this story, it's the one that touched me the most from her page. A friend shares, "Your baby girls misses you today Amy. She was tearfully talking about you today. But don't worry, R came up to her and said "Don't be sad, your mama will always be in your heart." and then gave Maddy a big hug and kiss. After R was done Maddy told her she needed another hug and she laid her head on R's shoulder and cried a little bit more. R patted her and stroked her cheek and then they sat together holding hands for a while. Your daughter is such a wonderful little girl. And I love to see our girls supporting eachother when they need it. And don't worry, I cuddled both of them until the smiles returned."
Today I forgave facebook. Because I needed to read this. As do so many more.
*I changed the little girl's name because I don't know how they would feel about publishing it. I know Amy has written openly here on my blog about Maddy so I feel ok with leaving her name as is. I hope this is ok with those involved. Much love to everyone who is.
Good Luck With That Jul 09, 2009
I walked by a glowing extremely pregnant woman. Her friend handed her a bag with some baby booty in it. I chuckled. I couldn't help myself. I CHUCKLED. They looked up at me and I recovered, smiled, and continued on my way.
In my head I was picturing what the card would say. I chuckled again. It could be any of the following:
Outside: Congrats New Momma! You're going to spend the next five years trying to get your pre-baby body back!
Inside: Good luck with that.
Outside: Congrats On Your New Bundle! They don't sleep through the night until they're teenagers.
Inside: Good luck with that.
Outside: Dear New Daddy! You thought you had Blue Balls in High School?
Inside: HAHAHAHAHA. Good luck with that.
Outside: To the happy new parent: Write down the last day you had sex.
Inside: So you remember it in three years when your brain is sleep deprived. Good luck with that!
Oh, comeon. Add your own! It's fun!
And only mildly depressing….
I love you, even if you are two Jul 08, 2009
It's 2:45AM. I've been asleep for two hours. I hear the familiar call from a tiny man, "Mommy! Mommy!' I'm in his room before I open my eyes.
I get him milk, his Thomas Trains and put him back to bed.
It's 6:00 AM and I hear the familiar call from a tiny man, "Mommy! Mommy!" I'm in his room before I open my eyes.
I pick him up hoping to give his sister a few more minutes of sleep. He asks for milk. I turn to get him some.
He starts screaming.
It's 7:00 AM and he's still screaming.
Finally, having had enough of this, I coax him in to eating a banana and watching LIttle Einstines so I can get the family ready to go.
It's 7:45 AM and the family is ready to leave. I get the tiny man's shoes and he yells, "TRY! TRY!" which is short for "I'll do it you mother fucker!"
I let him try.
He screams out of frustration, "HELP! HELP" which is short for "why are you just standing there watching me you mother fucker!"
I coax him down the stairs. I attempt to take his hand. "TRY! TRY!" which is short for "fuck off."
I walk a few stairs down and he yells, "UP! UP!" which is short for "why are you leaving me here, hold me now mother fucker!"
It's 8:20 and I'm dropping him off at day care. I have a full schedule of deadlines, meetings, phone calls and deadlines. I turn to leave. He lunges at my legs. I pick him up, kiss him, whisper in his ear, "I love you even if you are two."
I walk away missing him. Even if he's two.
The Road to Mid-life Jul 07, 2009
#The High School Years#Family Life
I was thinking about rebelling. Not in a present tense, but rather in a pattern-of-maturity. A "hindsight" if you will. "Enlightened Rebellion" even.
I realized my husband and I were together in High School when most people go through their rebellion. Our friends may have skipped class or chugged beer or started smoking but we were both first-borns too busy pleasing teachers and parents and each other. We were fairly straight laced aside from a few back-seat make-out sessions. We were home on time, we never did drugs and we never got pregnant. We stayed out of trouble and stayed in school.
We were model teenagers in a sense.
We broke up, went though our own "self discovery" a phase that got us to different colleges, new friends, new places. We tried on new people and jobs and lives, all while staying out of trouble and living as we were expected: Strong contributing citizens of society.
Then I turned 25.
I went in to what I can only call as "my six-month rebellion" where I stayed out for entire weekends at airplane hangers where friends would sky-dive and smoke pot at night, drink too much, and go to McDonalds for fries. It was stupid at best, dangerous at its worst. I did my first tandem skydive as a giant middle finger to my old life. I was fresh and new and starting over as a new person.
I'm so incredibly glad I did.
My husband, however, continued to work and be amazing. He continued to pursue a career, a path, a plan. He never did rebel. He never washed his hair free of expectation. He never jumped out of his proverbial airplane.
I contemplated this fact earlier today. I thought of all our friends who did rebel, who went through their time maturing to flip The Man the giant middle finger and face their new spirit and their new selves only to find peace and comfort in settling down later.
I wondered if there was in inverse relationship between rebellion and mid-life crisis.
I don't see him heading off with another family or even a sports car. I don't see him jumping out of an airplane or smoking pot when I'm at BlogHer. But I wonder: I wonder what life's turns require rebellion and which require steadfast boring ticky-tacky houses with manicured yards or the lack-there-of. I wonder if nearing forty (In seven years, but still! It's coming!) will be harder on those who never rebelled at fourteen. And I wonder how to cultivate this in our family, for our children as they mature in to their own people and in us as we hit our mid-lives.
How do we maintain our sanity in a suburb of Seattle in a townhouse we paid too much for and work too hard to pay off?
I wonder.
Did you rebel? Did you come back? Did you settle down? And when are you buying your motorcycle to flip off The Man?

Skip to comments.Angry beggar sets stranger on fire
Posted on 04/13/2013 4:34:52 PM PDT by kaehurowing
US police have arrested a beggar who allegedly set a man on fire outside a convenience store because he didnt give him money.
The 37-year-old beggar reportedly approached his victim as he got out of his car at a California 7-Eleven store and asked him for money, US network ABC reported yesterday.
The 63-year-old man refused to give him money and walked into the shop.
When the man left the store and got into his car the beggar doused him and the inside of the vehicle with a flammable substance and lit it on fire.
"With the door open you could see the entire insides were ablaze," a witness told Good Morning America.
"He came out and he was horrifying. His entire shirt was on fire, his head was on fire."
The victim was rushed to hospital with third degree burns and is in a critical condition.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.ninemsn.com.au ...
Politics follows culture, and our culture is in the toilet. Momentum continues in the wrong direction. The war was lost decades ago.
I thought Trayvon was killed by Zimmerman?
This is ObamaNation now. If a freeloader demands your money, you better give it to him/her.
Long Beach, CA.
Probably not. I will donate some semi-precious metals, though.
Gold and silver I do not have but here's some lead for your ass.
This is why it is necessary for Americans to never leave home unarmed. Our society is out of control. It's full of Freaks Gone Wild.
What a cruel thing to do.
I don't know why but somehow I am still amazed at what human beings can and will do to one another.
A "sense of entitlement?"
After seeing someone do that to another human being, would you, a witness to the crime, be justified in blowing the perp's brains out? He was, after all, in the act of using deadly force against someone, and was even eyeing you or someone else quite menacingly, with his lighter fluid and lighter in hand, you'd say.
So what's the angle here? Scenario A ? Scenario B ?
I bet the perp was black they seem to light people on fire
or at least most of the stories I have read about this sort of crime the perp has been black. I did not see much about the person who did it in the story I could be wrong it's just a hunch.
Photo of perp at link. He's black...
Perp's name is Raymond Sean Clark and he's black
"Can't we all just get along?"
the perp is black. Is the victim? I hope we dont have another hate crime here.
>He was being held in lieu of $502,000 bail.
There should not be a chance of bail for this act. Slow torture or death, but never a chance to escape his deeds.
That's what I thought. A few years back there was a man in New York and he killed his apartment manager in the elevator. He was dressed like an exterminator although his head was not covered and he sprayed her with a liquid and then set her on fire it was caught on tape in the elevator he was black.
In those circumstances, even if armed, I'm not sure if the target (any target) would have realized the danger in time...
Once you're burning, it's really hard to defend yourself.
I guess you mean if the victim was black it would be a hate crime because he was made to turn on his own people by the usual nefarious individuals, who must be sought out and punished. That's about where we're at.
And its obvious this black guy had been planning to set a white person on fire for a while. He had his matches and gasoline ready to go. All he needed was a white person to diss him to give him the excuse to light up a white guy.
Agreed. Pests respond well to high-velocity lead injections.
I carry everywhere and have hollow point for just such actions by these leeches of society.Urban outdoorsmen as Boortz would say.
In the dark, a shovel of stars overhead for keeps, the people march.
Where to? What next?
... 'course, that was a lefty sentiment from Sandburg, but everything stands on its head these days.
Related thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3007482/posts
"I'm paranoid. But am I paranoid enough?" I'm not saying I could or would have escaped an attack like this, but I wonder. I sure would have been on the lookout for the guy. Maybe I wouldn't even have gone into the store. Don't know.
everything stands on its head these days.
Just because you are paranoid doesn't mean you are not being followed. Old joke maybe..
Give this despicable man the max, and he won't have to panhandle again. He'll get his three sops and a flop in prison.
The poor guy is one year younger than me and I am sure that I would not have made it through this attack.
While it seems that a firearm wouldn't have changed the outcome, this is one more reason that I NEVER leave my home without my CC, NEVER.
Re: Silver and gold have I none, but here's some lead for your a-s.
You are a true poet - thank you for the chuckle.
KABC-TV Chan. 7 Los Angeles:
I wonder who is promoting that?
A close family friend, white in his 60's, waiting at a bus stop not far from our home was set upon by several black punks. They doused him with some gasoline and set him afire. Barely survived. Third degree burns over much of his upper body, endured a couple years of skin grafts and therapy but lost use of one arm. He would often take my hand to his neck, telling me I was rubbing his ass because that's where the skin graft came from. White victim, black perps.
From another direction: After seeing someone do that to another human being, how could you, a witness to the crime, be justified in not blowing the perps brains out? He was, after all, in the act of using deadly force against someone, and was even eyeing you or someone else quite menacingly, with his lighter fluid and lighter in hand, youd say.

Makes Skin Feel Healthy and Moisturized
Posted by ellelisw on May 12, 2011
I'm very happy with this lotion -- and I'm a bit of a lotion snob. It has a nice scent that isn't too strong and it absorbs very well. All the ingredients are quality and healthy for the skin. No cheap oils or butters used in it, either. This goes to the top of my favorites list and I plan on trying the other scents and products as soon as I can.
Very good Moisture Lotion - Waterstone is a nice scent !

Love this lotion! Have bought extra as gifts. Nice for those who like a light scent - it does have a very natural, botanical scent, which is very pleasant. The scent is "not" fake or chemical. It's a very nice product to put on feet, legs, arms and hands. Non-greasy finish, and hands and body feel truly moisturized. Very good product that helps moisture to last. Highly recommend.
Works on teenager skin well.

I like the guy a lot already. Don't for a second expect a guy coming from hockey to know the ins and outs of the on the court game at a level like a Windy but thus far he is following all the major players on Twitter and reading them all. He's attentive, he's slipped things I've said to him into blogs after researching to verify on his own, and he just seems to genuinely want to produce a solid product.
Guy was a high upside hire by the PD and one that I'm pretty damn happy w/ thus far. It feels weird to see the PDCavsInsider Twitter account actually useful again.

About Me Working Parent
Comments about Educational Insights Fluorescent Light Filters:
This product is great! I have an office without windows, but the overhead lighting was too bright. I tried these and now it is like having skylights. It casts a very relaxing blue/white light, and the pattern and color make it look fun and inviting. Many of my coworkers have commented on how nice the light that comes from it is.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

About Me Education Oriented
I used this product in my classroom. The fluorescent light filters give off a calm light. The children love them.
A great addition to my classroom!
By Math Science Teacher 4
from Alabama
The fluorescent light filters have been a great addition to my classroom. Students are working quietly, complaining less about headaches, and staying on task. Voices are true "indoor" voices! These were well worth the price!
Great for Classrooms
By Krista
from Miami, FL
This product does exactly what it claims to do. It not only creates a more relaxing environment, but the students no longer complain about the lights bothering them and giving them headaches. They were easy to put up and look great in my classroom.I have a classroom with two light switches that turn on different lights. One light switch turns on these blue light filters, and the other light switch turns on the white light filters.

Prep Roundup (1-9-13)
PETOSKEY-A couple of voids made the difference between a win and a loss for the Alpena wrestling team on Wednesday as the Wildcats lost 44-33 to Petoskey in a Big North Conference match.
The Wildcats voided three weight classes, giving the Northmen 18 free points, which ultimately helped them.
Winning for Alpena were: Connor Day (135) by void; Shane Trafelet (140) by pin; R.J. Centala (145) void; Dakota Patterson (171) by decision; J.D. Niergarth (189) by pin and Aleco Hantzis (heavyweight) by pin.
Alpena coach Jake Stenz was impressed with his wrestlers in the upper weight classes and said Alpena's lighter grapplers also wrestled good matches.
"They (Petoskey) have two really good wrestlers at 171 and 189 and were were able to bump up Dakota and J.D. and win those matches," Stenz said. "Our light weights came out and wrestled tough."
Alpena will wrestle in Kingsley on Saturday.
Onaway 65,
Forest Area 41
FIFE LAKE-The Onaway girls basketball team picked up its fifth straight win on Wednesday, defeating Fife Lake Forest Area 65-41 in a Ski Valley Conference game.
Mariah Ehrke had a double-double for the Cardinals (7-2 overall, 5-2 Ski Valley) with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Emily Estep nearly added a double-double with 13 points and nine steals and Kallie Shimel had 19 points.
Onaway held a 20-7 advantage after the first quarter and led 37-24 at the half. In the second half, the Cardinals pulled further from the Warriors, outscoring them 23-6 in the third quarter.
"Every girl played tonight and it was pretty close at the half," Onaway coach Marty Mix said. "Our third quarter really made the difference though."
Onaway hosts Bellaire on Friday.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's a treacherous time to trade on earnings, Jim Cramer warned "Mad Money" viewers Friday, but it's a great time to listen to what companies have to say.Cramer said that's why his game plan for next week's trading includes a lot of listening but not a lot of trading.
On Monday, Cramer said he'll have his eye on the JPMorgan Chase (JPM) health-care conference, where both Celgene (CELG) and Biogen Idec (BIIB) are expected to present. Cramer said he expects to hear great things from both of these companies.
Tuesday brings earnings from Monsanto (MON) and Alcoa (AA) . Cramer said Monsanto has rallied big, so he expects a sell-off, which would be a great time to buy. Alcoa will remain challenged, he said.
For Wednesday, it's the Walgreen (WAG) analyst day taking center stage and Cramer said he'll be waiting to hear about the company's international plans, which he expects to be good news for the stock.
Turning to Thursday, the Herbalife (HLF) analyst day will give the company a chance to respond to a rash of short selling, said Cramer, but he's continuing to stay far away from this heated battleground stock. Also on Thursday, Chevron (CVX) reports. Cramer said this would be a good name to pickup on weakness.
Finally on Friday, Wells Fargo (WFC) , a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, will report. Cramer said this bank is taking huge market share in mortgages and he'd buy more if the stock gets hammered.
Break Up Johnson Controls
Some companies are worth more in pieces than they are as a whole, Cramer reminded viewers. He said Johnson Controls (JCI) , which was down 1.8% in a roller-coaster 2012, would be an excellent candidate for splitting itself into three separate companies.
Johnson Controls currently has three different divisions, each accounting for about a third of company sales. It's a big player in HVAC and building efficiency systems, it manufactures automotive seats and interior components and the company makes batteries, both old-fashioned car batteries as well as some newer hybrid batteries.
Johnson Controls currently trades at a discount to similar companies like Eaton (ETN) and Honeywell (HON) , noted Cramer, and with easy comparisons the stock should perform well even without a breakup. But with a breakup, the stock would be worth a whole lot more.
Cramer said that Johnson Controls is fairly valued using 2013 earnings estimates, but said that's the wrong ways to value the company's businesses, all of where are late-cycle recovery plays that are just coming into their sweet spot. If the divisions were separate and easy for investors to understand, they'd be using 2014 and 2015 estimates to value the potential for a strong housing recovery and continued strength in the auto markets worldwide, he said.

Essex County eyes 15 percent tax levy increase
ELIZABETHTOWN – The Essex County Board of Supervisors is set to hold a public hearing Monday night on the county's proposed 2014 budget, which would override the state tax cap, increasing the tax levy by 15 percent.
The budget is the first step in a plan to decrease its tax levy increases over the next five years, county Manager Dan Palmer said Friday. In 2015, Palmer anticipates the levy increasing by 10 percent, then 8 percent the following year, then 5 percent. He expects the levy increase to be down to 2 percent by 2018.
As it stands now, the 2014 budget would include $94,917,464 in spending, a 0.09 percent decrease over the current year. Revenues are anticipated to grow by 1.74 percent, to $72,938,431.
Palmer explained that the tax levy would increase so dramatically despite revenue growing and spending shrinking because the county used $6.8 million in fund balance to reduce taxes this year.
"We don't have it this year to put against it," Palmer said.
County officials felt that the county could only afford to put $3 million from the fund balance toward lowering taxes in 2014.
The biggest drop in spending in the proposed 2014 budget is $2.9 million that won't have to be spent on the county nursing home, which is being sold. The biggest increase in the proposed budget is the county's health insurance costs, which are anticipated to increase by 15 percent.
The hearing is set to begin at 7 p.m. in the county Board of Supervisors' Chambers at the Essex County Government Center in Elizabethtown.
The board will also hold a hearing at 9:15 a.m. Monday, Dec. 2, on a local law that would allow the board to override the tax cap. The override law would need a 60 percent majority of the board's vote to pass.
Copies of the budget are available at the board clerk's office in Elizabethtown.
The board has set a special meeting for 9 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 4, to possibly make changes to and consider passing the budget.

Broadcasting Requirements
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Cheryl Gallant Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canadians benefit from a competitive media in all markets.
Since 1961 the city of Pembroke has operated a licensed television station, first as CHOV, a CBC affiliate, later as CHRO, a CTV affiliate, and currently as A-Channel Ottawa, a Citytv member.
Each time the Pembroke TV station has been sold, local viewers have experienced declining local content and there have been severe job losses. CRTC requirements for local broadcasting have been routinely abandoned or discarded.
There has been an abdication of the responsibility of the local Pembroke station to serve the market that its licence is intended to serve. This has occurred despite conditions that have been put on the Pembroke licence renewal in the past to protect local community content and jobs.
It is our hope that future programming plans and commitments will be effective in ensuring that Pembroke's A-Channel will focus and keep its orientation on Renfrew County and the upper Ottawa Valley before any sale is finalized.
The residents of Renfrew—Nipissing—Pembroke are calling upon the CRTC to return A-Channel to its roots in Pembroke, where it belongs.
Wheels in Motion
Statements By Members
2 p.m.
Gurbax Malhi Bramalea—Gore—Malton, ON
Mr. Speaker, it was just 20 years ago when a young man captured the hearts of Bramptonians and Canadians.
Rick Hansen, a paraplegic, wheeled around the world to raise money for spinal cord research. His incredible journey also helped teach Canadians about the day to day difficulties faced by people in wheelchairs.
On June 10, the fifth annual Wheels in Motion event took place in Brampton. This event was very successful and raised about $8,000 for the Blazers, a local wheelchair youth group. The money from the event will send some members of the Blazers to a summer camp that is wheelchair accessible.
In the future, Wheels in Motion wants to raise funds for wheelchair accessible picnic tables in Chinguacousy Park. I strongly commend Wheels in Motion for its efforts to help others.
Entrepreneurship Award
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jean-Yves Roy Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, QC
Mr. Speaker, Matane's adapted work centre, Les Ateliers Léopold-Desrosiers, recently won one of the Desjardins entrepreneurship awards for financial and social performance at a seminar entitled "Les grands enjeux de SECOR/Les Affaires".
The purpose of this award is to highlight the excellence of companies that contribute to advancing our society and enriching the community.
This company, which has been around for 24 years, has adapted its work stations and equipment in order to provide employment to persons with disabilities.
In addition to its remarkable social commitment, Les Ateliers Léopold-Desrosiers uses mainly recycled materials, thus demonstrating a commitment to recycling.
I would like to warmly congratulate the management and staff of Les Ateliers Léopold-Desrosiers, who are deserving of this honour. This is a great example of the accomplishments and contribution to the community of one of our very own companies.
Aboriginal Women
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jean Crowder Nanaimo—Cowichan, BC
Mr. Speaker, last week the family of Kelly Morrisseau was heartened to hear that the Assembly of First Nations was increasing the reward for information on the murder of their daughter, mother, sister, aunt and cousin.
Aboriginal women in Canada are at least five times more likely than all other women to die as a result of violence. Indigenous women's organizations such as NWAC are working to raise the public consciousness through its Sisters in Spirit initiative.
Canadians need to be aware of the alarmingly high rates of missing and murdered aboriginal women in Canada. These tragedies must be averted in the future.
In the last two years, other murders of young women were accompanied by timely press coverage, including regular press conferences. Kelly Morrisseau deserves no less.
We should not have different values for different lives. Any woman's death should get the same attention. We should not let their stories fade from the headlines and our memories.
Daines Ranch Rodeo
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bob Mills Red Deer, AB
Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to stand today in the House and pay tribute to a true, hard-working Albertan from my riding.
Jack Daines is a 70 year old cowboy who runs the Innisfail Auction, which was started by his father Snowden in 1955. Jack, one of seven brothers, has played a huge role in central Alberta and everyone in all of Alberta recognizes his distinct voice and his leadership.
This week, the Daines Ranch Rodeo runs for five days. This rodeo, which was started in 1961, has run without government grants and has grown to be one of the major events in our provinces.
By his own admission, Jack always tells it like it is. He is a tireless worker in his business and community life. As he says: "Sometimes I see guys not doing a good enough job and I have to step in and get things done the right way. I guess I lead by example".
Our community is proud of Jack and his son Duane, who have always led by example, and it is my honour to recognize Jack and his family today in the House.
Sri Lanka
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Albina Guarnieri Mississauga East—Cooksville, ON
Mr. Speaker, after a year during which the Sri Lankan army killed humanitarian workers and bombed civilians, we learned last week that Tamil civilians had been driven out of the capital at gunpoint.
When international groups protested these mass expulsions, the Sri Lankan defence secretary accused the international community, especially the U.K. and European nations, of bullying his country over human rights.
Meanwhile, the Government of Canada has remained relatively silent, and has not followed the lead of Great Britain, Germany and the United states by cutting off aid to Sri Lanka.
It is time for Canada to finally suspend aid and trade until the Sri Lankan government starts respecting the human rights of Tamil civilians.
Paul Thomassin
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Luc Harvey Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to draw your attention to the fact that an illustrious Conservative, whom we in the riding of Louis-Hébert consider to be the party's living memory, is here in Ottawa.
Paul Thomassin, whose involvement in politics goes back to the time of the illustrious Right Hon. John Diefenbaker, is a model of commitment and devotion to the men and women of today who are deeply committed to protecting Canadian values.
I wish to express my gratitude to this 83-year-old activist and his long line of Conservative predecessors for their role in preserving the party memory and the basic values for which we have always fought.
The health of a democracy is inextricably linked to the vitality of the parties within it, and the Thomassin family's legendary political involvement in the Canadian federation helped re-establish a stable democratic changeover when our country needed it most.
I wish my friend, Paul Thomassin, good health and long life.
Saint-Lambert Sesquicentennial
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Maka Kotto Saint-Lambert, QC
Mr. Speaker, on July 1, 2007, the municipality of Saint-Lambert will celebrate its 150th anniversary.
Everyone, including the 22,000 residents of the municipality, is invited to participate in various events organized by the Saint-Lambert 150th anniversary committee, a group of volunteers who have spent the last several months organizing the festivities.
Among the upcoming events of note, I would like to highlight the publication of Saint-Lambert au fil des ans / Saint- Lambert Through the Years, edited by the Mouillepied Historical Society, which recounts the great events in the lives of residents of Saint-Lambert since 1857.
The Bloc Québécois and I would like to congratulate the Saint-Lambert municipal authorities and all of the artisans who will be taking part in the 150th anniversary celebration for their contribution to this vibrant display of our collective memory.
Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal

2:10 p.m.
Bruce Stanton Simcoe North, ON
Mr. Speaker, it was my great privilege on the weekend to attend the 60th annual Stephen Leacock medal for humour presentation at Geneva Park, near Orillia, Ontario.
Each year the Stephen Leacock Association announces the winner of the Leacock medal for humour for the book judged to be the most humourous one published in Canada the previous year. It has done so since 1946, granting this prestigious medal to such literary icons and notable Canadians as Pierre Berton, W.O. Mitchell, Farley Mowat and Mordecai Richler.
This year the associates have awarded the medal and its $10,000 prize, courtesy of TD Bank Financial Group, to author and CBC personality Stuart McLean for his book Secrets from the Vinyl Cafe. I would like to congratulate Mr. McLean for winning this award for a third time.
I would like to thank the Stephen Leacock Association for its ongoing promotion of Canadian literature.
McCain Foods
Statements By Members
June 13th, 2007 / 2:10 p.m.
Paul Zed Saint John, NB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 50th anniversary of McCain Foods, a family business and world giant built on quality and on loyalty to Florenceville, New Brunswick.
Launched by brothers Harrison and Wallace McCain in 1957, the family business has been growing potatoes in New Brunswick since 1910.
McCain Foods is a Canadian multinational success story. As the largest processor of frozen potatoes in the world, it operates in 110 countries on six continents with 20,000 employees and has diversified its french fry business to include pizzas, juice and appetizers.
The McCain family continues to be one of Canada's foremost philanthropic families, donating millions of dollars toward worthy causes everywhere.
I salute the McCain Foods founders, the late Harrison McCain and of course our friend Wallace, whose heart is still in Florenceville and who remains one of Canada's leading business leaders, as well as late brothers Andrew and Robert and Andrew's son Allison, who is the current chairman.
I extend congratulations to them on their 50 years in business. On behalf of all Canadians, I wish them continued success in the next 50 years.
The Budget
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Jacques Gourde Lotbinière—Chutes-de-la-Chaudière, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebeckers are concerned about the Senate's wish to delay the budget vote, thereby compromising certain programs. Why did the Liberals and the NDP say no to restoring the fiscal balance that will allow Quebec to provide better services and improved infrastructure?
Why did they say no to giving Quebec farmers $90 million to help deal with rising production costs?
Why did they say no to a tax break that will allow Quebec parents to save nearly $300 million?
Why did they say no to the $350 million to help Quebec reduce greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution?
The House of Commons passed a budget that is good for Quebeckers and Canadians. The Senate must pass it before the end of the month. I would ask my hon. colleague from Westmount—Ville-Marie to urge the Liberal senators to support the budget, since she acknowledged that "it is a budget that should please federalists in Quebec".
Rachelle Leost
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis Winnipeg North, MB
Mr. Speaker, tragedy struck in Winnipeg last month when Rachelle Leost was killed by a drunk, underage driver of a stolen van, robbing Manitoba's Métis community of an active member and her three children of a caring mother.
We mourn the loss of Rachelle and all those who are victims of gun crimes, gang violence and car hijackings, crimes that can be prevented if the government would only move beyond its "get tough" rhetoric.
We need answers, not negligence and broken promises. Why has the government not kept its election promise of 2,500 more police on patrol? Why have crime prevention dollars not been fully spent? Why is it not supporting good ideas like the Winnipeg's North End Community Ambassadors program and the work Ndinawe does with the aboriginal community to help at-risk young people?
As the young students at Norquay School in my constituency said to the Governor General on her recent visit, "we want to walk around in our neighbourhood and feel confident". They deserve nothing less.
Order of Canada
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Lawrence MacAulay Cardigan, PE
Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise in the chamber today to pay tribute to an exceptional man who lives in my riding, well-known agriculturalist, Mr. Charles "Charlie" Scranton of Hazelbrook, Prince Edward Island.
Mr. Scranton was cited for outstanding service over three decades with Agriculture Canada's Poultry Division and developed one of Canada's leading herds of Hereford cattle. Over the years, Charlie was an avid supporter of the Easter Beef Show and Sale.
As well, Mr. Scranton worked for many years with Youth Outreach as part of his long involvement with the First Baptist Church in Charlottetown.
Once again, I would like to congratulate Mr. Charles Scranton of Hazelbrook, Prince Edward Island, for being named to the Order of Canada for his accomplishments in the industry, commerce and business category.

Mr. Speaker, Mr. Walid Eïdo, a Lebanese politician, was killed today in a bombing in Beirut, along with his son and six other people. Mr. Eïdo, who was in his sixties, was a member of the parliamentary majority led by Saad Hariri. This attack is strangely reminiscent of the tragic death of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, who was killed in February 2005, and the assassinations of MP Gebran Tuéni and Industry Minister Pierre Gemayel.
Several countries have already condemned these acts of violence, including France and the United States. On behalf of my Bloc Québécois colleagues, I would like to extend my deepest sympathies to Mr. Eïdo's family, to the families of the other victims and to the people of Lebanon.
Freedom and justice are not achieved through violence, nor will they be stifled by violence.
