The Sunday Morning Bray, by Bray!
These men who were hired last worked only one hour, they said, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the work and the heat of the day. Matt 20:12
If Hollywood was so eager to be communist why do so many of them need to be filthy rich? Shouldnt Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin insist that they make no more than what a cameraman makes? Its easy to be a commie lib when you have more money than you could ever spend in 10 lifetimes, its a lot harder if you are wondering how you are going to pay your taxes, fill the tank and make your house payment. The only people who can truly afford communism are the extremely wealthy and the dirt poor, everyone else pays.
The truth about SoddomWood is it is a nearly perfect capitalist economy. People, are for the most part paid what they are worth by that economy and is an open market for their individual talents. Every skill has a corresponding value which is paid accordingly. The investors invest in an actor such as Alec Baldwin on what they believe he can bring to the project monetarily and he is prepaid or if he wants to gamble will take a portion of the gate. No matter how he wants to prattle on about the 1% vs the 99, he is paid the outrageous rates he is paid due to making himself a small fraction of a percent who can generate an audience willing to either watch his comedy, go to his movies or buy his credit card.
The capitalist economy will pay anyone exactly what they are worth. It doesnt matter if you agree or disagree with his ability to act or how he markets himself as an agent for the little guy; he is one of the rarest of commodities on the planet, a decent looking guy who is believable when speaking his lines. Likewise the cameraman is paid union scale not by how he differentiates himself from other cameramen, but he had enough skill or nepotism to get him in the union and then takes advantage of whatever opportunities presents themselves. A skilled cameraman is also a valuable commodity and will get better jobs and pay but will never be judged economically by audience generated like those on the other side of the lens.
Hollywood is one of the enclaves of pure capitalism yet has no idea that it is what it is. It generates massive amounts of revenue from absolutely nothing of value. People are rewarded by how rare they can make their skills and the ability to market those skills to an eager marketplace. They are rare diamonds whose facets are attractive features and practiced acting skills for sell to capitalism. Unfortunately the people there are either ignorant of the fact, pandering to the audience or so self centered they are glad for their own success but really dont want the lower classes polluting their caste. Some of it is fear of going against the status quo of commie sympathy but a certain part of it is pure evil and class protection. People like Alec Baldwin likely thinks he is superior to the general public so he makes his liberal proclamations speaking to his audience in Beverly Hills while he keeps himself completely removed from the general public he so outwardly claims to embrace.
This is what makes no sense. These people who have succeeded in a very capitalistic society with little or no public money and all private yet reject that very formula which made them successful beyond their dreams. Until one of them has the courage to take a major cut in pay to help the 99% they work with, you simply have to shake your head and chalk it up to being Lear Jet Libs. You would hope Sean Penn would at least give an honest look at capitalism and realize he would be some dope head lying in a ditch if not for an economic system that gave him a chance to win Megabucks. No, he would rather fly down to Cuba and give Castro a virtual casting couch bragging about what a great Country it is compared to America. Course the chances of a Soviet country making a movie glorifying drugs and making him a star is about the same as one of Castros dissidents swimming to Miami.
No, the HollyWhacked self indulgent would rather go the intellectually lazy route and give the same old America is a racist, sexist, homophobic Country that is unfair. What about the fairness of making these people wealthy beyond their dreams, what unfairness do they have to complain about. Doesnt it make more sense for them to get up and say how fair it was for pure capitalism to spot their talent and pay for it accordingly? Shouldnt they give back to the people telling them there is hope for their future in a purely Capitalistic economy rather than one that is predetermined by a centralized expansive gummit? Of course they should but they are inside their own dictatorial commiecratic world which expects their stars to act and make statements which tear down America and capitalism to supposedly connect with Joe average as well as gain favor with the Hollywierd elite.
For many even their tearing down the economic system which brings them untold wealth is an economic decision. They have to make stupid statements like Bill Maher and Sean Penn to stay on the A list and turn the dollars they need to turn to make those multi-million salaries. The irony of that dance escapes these paid organ grinder monkeys although they have to understand it on some level as they complain and make fun of the 1% while they take a Gulfstream to Cannes while they pronounce it with a silent S and sipping their 95 Krug. Yes, its those evil one-percenters are who are destroying our precious earth and oppressing the 99.
What they should be preaching is if everyone had the same opportunities they had for upward mobility and a chance to market your talents in a free economy this would be the system to strive for. Most can see why John Wayne and Clint Eastwood were paid more than some of the lesser actors due to their talents and presence. At the same time many never make it and are thrown into the underworld of SoddomWood making porn or being toys for the stars which is the way pure Capitalism actually works. Is it fair for them? Yes, because they are allowed to make bad choices as well as good, it is what character is all about. These people know the risk they are taking to become the mili-fraction of a percent to make the big time and failing is a likely possibility.
What Sean Penn and Alec Baldwin should be professing is that they make no more than the cameraman and any excess due to market forces should go into a fund to eliminate risk for struggling stars. This fund run by the District of Corruption will make sure any of the failed actors and actresses dont end up on the street but will have a cameramans wage to survive and continue their training or trained into another career. They should be eager to actually do what they continually preach on everyone else and turn SoddomWood into the utopian paradise they want for the rest of America. So from now on we expect that movie actors, directors and agents who promote ObamaCare for America will insist on no more than the Cameramans pay and they will let the rest of their wealth go to ObamaStarCare for budding stars who want to someday earn the Cameramans pay they are already getting. In a few short years they would no longer have to fly their Gulfstreams to Cuba to visit a workers paradise, they would be living in it. Perhaps Pelosi can write ObamaStarCare, something even the Tea Party will support?
Pray for America
Note: The above opinion is not necessarily mine, but FReeper Brays. If you wish to discuss this, please ping Bray.
Pelosi ..... won't be watching. Not starting my day listening to someone who can gag a maggot with lies that aren't a 180 from the truth .... they are lies that are off the planet.
I could stay in this AM and hear about a BFD, liberal high fives, spiking the ball, move on, it's settled law.
Or gas up and hit the beach.
Where did I keep the sun screen?
I hope both O'Malley and Walker are in studio and O'Malice smirks "Scott Walker hasn't been Indicted...yet" one more time, then spends the rest of the hour picking his teeth up off the floor.
Clear in the morning, then partly cloudy with thunderstorms and rain showers. High of 106F. Winds from the West at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 20%.
We had 107F yesterday, so I do appreciate the cooling trend!
And speaking of ill-gotten fortunes, I do wish that every time Al Sharpton gets quoted somewhere, an enterprising reporter gets a reaction from Tawana Braxley as well. It's a shame that he became a celebrity while she became a footnote, when she did the heavy lifting and carving to get into the headlines in the first place.
Well, Mary Jo Kopechne still isn't available for comments...
Morning AB, All....
Hot here in the swamps, as it is across America. And that's just the anger over John Roberts, weather's kinda warm too.
As always, thank you AB, for doing this thread.
Got a problem....got a new bread machine.
Well that's not the problem. The problem is the first loaf I made in it came out a bucket of dry crumbs.
There's a history, to include the cat getting stuck in the kitchen cupboard.
More later.
Got plenty of thoughts on the Roberts matter, as do we all I suspect.
Will join in the commentary but right now, let me say, do NOT believe the "wise" pundits who think John Roberts to be Christ returned.
This applies especially to Charles Krauthammer, who practically wept with pride over the sacrifice of the Chief Justice who only did it, after all, for us.
Guy didn't do his job is all, he plain flat didn't do his job. I don't do my job, you don't do your job, what happens?
Only we can't fire this guy.
Something really went awry with our country last week and I look forward to the input of y'all.
Not to mention the bread machine problem.
Smarmy Dave: "Nancy...are you a dingbat?"
Thanks for the thread, AB!
Burning question - will George Will stick to his idiotic claims that this was a "substantial conservative win"? How many times will "silver lining" be brought up in reference to the disaster that Roberts and the other four idiots have just cemented as law?
QUIET EVERYONE, THE DINGBAT IS SPEAKING! (meet the depressed)
Jack Lew says now they are going to continue to implement the AFC, the Rs are going to have to explain why people are going to lose their benefits.
The "uninsured" is the 1%....(hmmmmmmmmmmm)
Wallace plays clip of Barry claiming those under @250,000 will not see their taxes go up.
Wallace badgering Lew over tax/mandate Constitutionality issue.
So the guy on Fox just basically said we've got to overhaul the entire health care system for the benefit of 1% of the population?!
we have to repeal it for the benefit of the 99%
I had a bread machine.
It was purchased at the end of last century and I had it packed away. Husband loves bread out of the bread machine so I decided to pull it out and start using again.
Only it walks over the kitchen counter as it mechanically kneads. Besides, the resulting loaf came out....TADA....a bucket of crumbs. I have made bread before, plenty of times. Never got a bucket of crumbs.
So it's my birthday and husband gets me new bread machine. Old one thrown in trash because of its habit of walking, besides, the bucket of crumbs I blamed on the old machine.
New machine up and ready. This machine makes bigger loaves, something like 2 pounds, 1/2 lb bigger than older one. The machine's own recipe book has recipe for basic white bread-2 pounds, so I make.
Due to crumb bucket of last try, I am very, very careful. FOUR cups of bread flour it calls for....I put the stuff in as it calls, liquids first, then dry, level the dry, add salt, bit of sugar....then make a well, add the yeast. Check yeast date-good until October 2013.
Turn it on, boom, machine starts and this one does NOT walk all over the kitchen counter.
I get busy doing other stuff, find husband in kitchen checking out machine. "I heard something banging around and wanted to make sure it wasn't the new bread machine."
I too hear the slam of kitchen cupboard doors and I'm livid. Darn, the NEW bread machine not only walks all over the counter, it's slamming kitchen cupboard doors!
I run around to check further and see a black and white paw reaching out from behind a close kitchen cupboard door. The owner of the black and white paw could not open the cupboard door because my kitchen stool was blocking it but he kept pushing it, slamming it, in an effort to get out.
Gerald was not at all upset about being caught behind closed door because in Gerald's world, the world of feline sous chefs who help humans with the cooking, sometimes you stuck in cupboards. He'd sit and ponder the situation then reach the paw out again. In Gerald's world, somebody comes and lets you out sooner or later.
At any rate the bread machine was not slamming the kitchen doors and I was pleased.
Except when it was done and I opened my creation to find....a bucket of crumbs!
Now I used flour from a tupperware type of container with "bread machine flour" written with magic marker on the side.
I don't know, this could have been a mistake. Maybe it wasn't bread machine flour. It might have been regular flour and I dunno, maybe that's part of the problem.
I did some investigating and as I searched the Internet, I find NO bread machine recipe that has FOUR cups of flour to ONE cup of liquid, that if the bread turns out dry and crumbly...it's probably not enough liquid.
But this is the recipe that came from the bread machine manual!
Anyway, I shall buy some fresh bread machine flour this upcoming week and I will try again.
Gerald will be, as always, my sous chef.
Wish me luck.
if that is so, why is the penalty/tax only $95 for the rich 1% who can afford it?
There's that 99%/1% insured/uninsured lie again.
Hell, as far as I know, about 15% of the people are on MediCaid...medical welfare.
Lew tells Wallace he wants to move on and talk about the economy and jobs. I seriously doubt that.
Now Wallace asking Lew about Holder, and F&F
Lew lying his @$$ off about Holder not knowing about it and stopped it immediately.
Lew says what everyone knew would happen and simply says the Roberts was wrong and the penalty is not a tax. Roberts twisted himself into a pretzel to take our freedom away and give it to his precious DC.
What I heard Jack Lou say on ABC was that the 1% were screwing up the whole system by taking advanatage of the health care system, not paying for it, and really, they could afford it!
So this monstrosity of a bill just closed that loophole and reigned in that 1% to pay their fair share, and now the whole system will work! (WOW)
Paul Ryan - 1 man (Roberts) decided to go against what Rayn through were his primciples, the stakes of this election couldn't be higher.
Because he's a RAT whose lips are moving.
All RATs always lie about everything.
but, we instituted Obamacare to cover the uninsured....
Sleepy McConnell calls ObamaCare a tax cut.
Sleepy McConnell calls ObamaCare a tax cut.
Let the reactions of these wise "pundits", like George Will as you mention, and Krauthammer, be a lesson to us all.
They are the political chattering class and they are part of the problem.
I read how Roberts was "protecting" the image of the Supreme Court with his silly, and probably illegal, action. I read that Roberts threw himself on his sword-can you imagine anybody stupid enough to express such a thing?- to save the country.
The political chattering class, yes even the so-called conservative ones, did not see the emperor has no clothes. Only we, the common people, with the common sense the political elite and their chattering class do not have, see the absurdity of what happened last week.
Our legislators passed an outrageous piece of legislation that nobody wants, that was passed through bribes and incentives to certain states and not others, that the public tried desperately to stop by electing a Republican to replace Ted Kennedy then in 2010 rang some clocks with the country's collective outrage.
So we wait for the Supreme Court to do their little tiny job, a great job when you think about it, a lifetime job protection for just reading a document and interpreting....AND THEY DO NOTHING!
Well Roberts changes the law from a mandate to a tax, thereby effectively re-writing the law which the SC is NOT supposed to do, and we're all out here in la-la land, bitter and feeling more than a little tyrannized.
Our gubmint is run amok folks, that's all.
Time for us, the common people, to do what we got to do.
First, let's eject those always wrong conservative pundits, Will, Krauthammer....time for them to go.
Then we'll talk.
Of course the big question is why did Chief Supreme Court Justice John Roberts rewrite Obamcare giving the dead sea scroll new life by morphing it into just another tax.
You have to jump into this guys mind to really know what happened and since few of us are up to that we are relegated to just educated guesses.
Here's mine.
Currently, we have a regime that is fully engaged in the Chicago Way. What is the Chicago way? It's a system of intimidation through long term political corruption by political animals willing to do most anything to get what they want. This intimidation includes murder of ones family or basically whatever it takes.
(by the way Valerie Jarrett the defacto potus now was Daley's go to gal before she came to dc)
If you happened to see the State of the Union speech where the Manchurian in charge gave the evil eye to the Court more than once you can get it that there may be just a little apprehension on the part of the five "supposed"conservative members who don't cave to socialism/communism aka the Chicago way. Are they now targets with the biggest target Roberts?
In addition as a supposed conservative member of the court being appointed instead of Harriet Roberts (which is a challenging mindset all of its own to be considered), you have to think that perhaps Roberts feels just a little allegiance to the right as well.
So he may view himself be in a position where he thinks he may have to appeal to both sides and basically have a hell of a good argument for whomever wins in November. His survival may be at stake in one case and just for appearances in the other.
Playing both sides could well have been the motive for Roberts rewriting obamacare(if he did the dirty work himself rumors are he is no rocket scientist either) and declaring it nothing but a big tax that congress has the right to do.
If it was it may well accomplish the following: If O'Kardashian is reelected Roberts simply tells Barry "hey I was on your side but had to make it look good for my(supposed) Budd's on the right" and will probably get a pass from the Chicago mob. After all they got what they wanted 1/6 of the economy of the US under their control.
If Romney wins in November all Roberts has to say is, "hey Mitt I made it a tax so you can get rid of it in the Senate with only 51%! I'm really a big conservative guy see Mitt." Romney at that point basically has no choice but to say "thanks" having claimed he would gut Obamcare on his first day anyway.Robers can make the case its now any easy task.Of course this presupposes we take the Senate which may not be a slam dunk unless Sarah and Marco can fire up the base as good as she did on her own in 2010,then we take it all.
Either way Robert's slimy ass is covered and he has plausible deny ability regardless of who wins in November which w the entire goal.
I know Krauthammer says its because Roberts is so noble he didn't want the Supreme Court to overreach its bounds by usurping power over Congress but sorry Chuck I ain't buyin' that one.
It is more than a little amusing so many of the Liberal rich adore the money but hate the rich yet on the other hand despise the "little" people as well.
I think a lot of the problem is that both greed and envy are vying for their souls and both are winning. Hate and pride seem to be the end result instead of a grateful heart for their God-given talents and the fantastic opportunity to use them. For them, it's all about themselves despite their protestations to the contrary. Sad.
McConnell say replace means modest reforms...no meat axe rather work with a scapel.
Interstate sales of health insurance
Tort reform
Go step by step
McConnell not concerned about the 1%
Not going to a European-style Socialized Medical System, the private insurance/nonprofit American healthcare system is the finest in the world.
Wallace asks about pre-existing contidions...McConnell replies High Risk Pools....good answer. Over half the states have them.
Old McConnell just said, "If I am the leader of the Senate."
That is a scary thought. If we do win we will have to change the old boys club that brings the worst possible spokesmen we can find. He can barely order a Big Mac let alone explain Conservatism.
Neither does he, he's just another RATagandist with his marching orders and attached sheet of talking lies.
Hey, we overhaul the laws for 2% of the gay population ... disrupt the military, make gay marriage legal, etc. ... what's the problem? /s

We need to get out and canvass for Tea Party candidates who will overturn the law/tax and furthermore we need to sign the petition to pass the Anti-Mandate Amendment in order to make it all the harder for Congress and the Supremes to simply ignore the Constitution.
A new amendment prohibiting the taxing of non-commerce might buy Americans a couple more generations of freedom before another future Roberts type decides to fart that up is down and black is white.
ABC - George Will still holding on to his claim that this is a win. George WIll is officially a moron. (Aaahhhh, Terry Moron agrees with him. George Will is right, Glen Beck is wrong. Hear that George? That should give you pause if Terry Moron agrees with you.)
Keith Olberman -
Artur Davis, former D, turned R, AL - this is not a popular law. The people that don't like this law , don't like it because they think it costs too much, it's unpredictable, etc.
Donna Brazile - this law didn't go far enough. It didn't include a single payer option. (Don't worry, Donna, it's coming!)
SHeer brilliance as usual.
Getting into the minds of Hollywood's elite is challenging at best.
About the only parallel I can make as to why those who benefit more from capitalism than most are the most ardent socialists is the same reason why so many otherwise rational individuals voted for the Dear Leader in 2008.
It's white guilt in a contorted fashion.
The Hollywood rich share a near universal guilt that they have taken away gold/wealth from others and should now be self enforced to give it back to the poor using government channels.
This differs from true capitalists who use charities rather than the worst use of funds ever devised; the US government. Its probably not too much more complicated that that.
Says it all!!Still laughing down here in the mosquito infested land of big fish.
Holy crap, George Will just assaulted Donna Brazille!
True enough.
Brit says it is even more vulnerable to repeal than it was before.
Wahn MIA...no one to slap-down today.
Referring to the ObamaCare ruling as "Robert's Rule" and calling it a 1/4/4 decision.
Some people saying he created a mine-field and gave the people a lot of tools.
WAPO reporter says while others are playing checkers, Roberts is playing chess.
Wallace asking if Roberts was subject to coercion...did he switch his vote at the last minute. Blonde Chicky Shannon says it is a reasonable theory.
Brit says dissent is much more compelling, Roberts' rule is somewhat of a stretch, but agrees with the "playing chess" analogy.
Spot on ... as usual.
Did he bich-slap her, or just scratch her eyes out?
Thanks for the reminder. Ugh. We're hearing good things from the repubs now but I fear they'll cave once again if elected in November. We lack leaders with the courage to stick to their convictions.
Wallace: Will this election be a referendum on ObamaCare?
both of his hands on her right arm. somebody call a lawyer.

Foley, from Halls Gap near Stanford, dropped out of high school at age 16 and started working. At that time, he didn't really have a desire to continue his education. Now, he's staring down the path of a college degree with plans to continue learning until he receives his Ph.D.
"I thought working a shift job was it for me," said Foley. "It's what my dad did and we did okay…or so I thought. I didn't realize at the time how rough we lived and how hard it was to make ends meet."
Foley worked his first job in waste management for the City of Stanford. He performed well and worked his way up. Later, Foley worked as a welder and then as an auto technician at Wal-Mart. In 2008, his dream job came about and he started working at Caterpillar, Inc. in Danville. In April 2009, Foley and his entire shift was laid off.
"I was devastated, even depressed," Foley said. "My wife told me to go back to school, but I was scared to make the commitment."
When Foley, now 47, and his wife, Shirley, found out that they were going to lose their house and possessions, he decided that going back to school might be his only option to change his future.
"I called SCC and talked to Melissa Winstead in Student Support Services," Foley said. "If I'd talked to anyone else that day I probably wouldn't have enrolled. Melissa helped talk me through everything and then I met Roger Hollars (SCC advisor). Roger walked me over to take the compass test and all I could think was 'I'm seriously going to college.'"
Foley said that he was overwhelmed and scared when classes started. He didn't know how to prepare for class or study for exams, but with hard work and by asking for help when he needed it, he was able to finish that semester with a 3.3 grade point average. His second semester he proudly earned a 4.0.
Recently, Foley was given the 2012 Kentucky Association for Developmental Education (KADE) Outstanding Developmental Student award from a two-year Institution. He also serves as an SCC Student Ambassador, a member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society and is a mentor and tutor with Student Support Services, a department at SCC that serves low-income and first-generation students.
"This was a dream for me," said Foley. "I came to college and was a tutor. To me, that is an accomplishment I am very, very proud of."

With the Final Four set, the 2014 NBA draft field is beginning to build and grow.
Prospects who have been eliminated from postseason play have started to announce their plans to declare, including big names like Kansas' Andrew Wiggins, Indiana's Noah Vonleh, North Carolina State's T.J. Warren and UCLA's Zach LaVine.
Some prospects have also announced they'll be returning, such as Kansas' Wayne Selden.
There are still some NBA prospects to watch for in the NCAA tournament, including Connecticut's Shabazz Napier and everyone in Kentucky's lineup. And look out for Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky, who's making a legitimate push into the conversation.
Team needs, along with each prospect's NBA potential, were taken into account when deciding how we project the draft to play out.
The draft order was generated based on NBA standings through games played on Tuesday, April 1, and future trades.

The Toughest Race You've Never Heard Of
America's first endurance race comes to a theater near you. The new film, The Mountain Runners, tells the amazing tale of the turn of the century Mount Baker Marathon
Mount Baker, at 10,778 feet, dominates the skyline of the North Cascades. Photo by John D'Onofrio
The year was 1911 and Bellingham, Washington, was a sleepy little town in the shadow of Mount Baker, on the northern shores of Puget Sound. Logging and fishing were the economic mainstays but, as the leaders of the Mount Baker Club, a local business organization, saw it, the town needed something more.
Congress had established Mount Rainier National Park, about 130 miles south of Bellingham, in 1899. Within a few years, well-heeled tourists from the East Coast were arriving in ever-growing numbers via the new-fangled automobiles of the day. This new breed of pleasure traveler would journey great distances—just to look at a mountain! And they brought cash. Lots of it.
If Mount Rainier could be such a money magnet, Mount Baker Club President A.J. Craven reasoned, why not nearby Mount Baker? The mountain, at 10,778 feet, was the third highest peak in the newly named Washington State and its glacier-encrusted volcanic dome dominated the landscape of the northern Puget Sound region.
What they needed was a publicity stunt, an event that would make the papers in New York and Chicago, drawing those eager East-Coast tourists to Mount Baker and Bellingham. Their arrival would mean good times for Bellingham and prosperity for local businesses, many of which were owned, coincidentally, by the leaders of the Mount Baker Club.
A plan began to percolate. They would organize a race, but not just any race—an epic contest, one that would capture the imagination of the nation. And so began the Mount Baker Marathon, America's first extreme endurance race. The Marathon would be an every-man-for-himself, 116-mile affair, including at least 28 miles on foot through forest and over glacial ice and 88 miles of madcap mechanized transport via steam train or automobile.
The Marathon was held for three consecutive years (1911 to 1913) and inspired the Ski to Sea Race, now held each Memorial Day weekend in Bellingham. The modern version, though, is a relay race from the ski area on Mount Baker to Bellingham Bay, with seven legs: cross-country skiing, downhill skiing or snowboarding, running, road biking, canoeing, mountain biking and sea kayaking.
The Marathon is also the subject of a recently released documentary, The Mountain Runners, which, at the time this issue went to press, was soon to be featured at the Vancouver International Film Festival by film makers Todd Warger and Brian Young.

Topic: DRYing up redundant controllers, models, etc - the polymorphic assoc.
So I've continued to stride forward with my app and have gotten to the point of reducing the number of different image tables & controllers, etc. in my app, and rolling it into one big happy unified table, replete with exciting polymorphic associations.
For reference, I used the recipe book's recipe #23 - "Polymorphic Associations - Has_Many :whatevers" (p.109-113).
The basic structure and command line stuff worked like a charm. (I can run through the stuff in the console as demonstrated in the recipe and everything works, everything saves, etc.)
However, I'm missing something here when I'm trying to translate this to the real world.
Rules, Objects, Sites, and Galleries all can have Images.
so, model code:
#in rules, objects, sites, galleries...
has_many :images, :as=>:imageable
#in images
belongs_to :imageable, :polymorphic=>true
So I'm trying to do a form for uploading images that allows me to pass the relevant info (stored in the database as imageable_id, imageable_type), and this is where it's not seeming to work...
#_form.rhtml partial:
<%= error_messages_for 'image' %>

Title

<%= text_field 'image', 'title' %>

Caption

<%= text_area 'image', 'caption' %>

 Choose Image File: <%= file_field("ruleimage", "image")%>

<%= hidden_field :image, :created_by, :value => session[:admin] %>

<%= hidden_field :image, :imageable_type, :value=>@refobject.type%>
<%= hidden_field :image, :imageable_id, :value=>@refobject.id%>
<%= submit_tag "Add Image" %>
def new
@image = Image.new
@refobject = Rule.find(:all, :conditions => ['id = ?', '99']) ## this is a dummy value until I work out the paths here.
def create
@image = Image.new(params[:image])
if @image.save
flash[:notice] = 'Image was successfully created.'
redirect_to :action => 'list'
render :action => 'new'
class Image < ActiveRecord::Base
DIRECTORY = 'public/support_images'
belongs_to :imageable, :polymorphic=>true
after_save :process
after_destroy :cleanup
def image=(image)
if image == nil or image == ""
@image = image
write_attribute 'extension', image.original_filename.split('.').last.downcase
def imageable=(imageable)
write_attribute 'imageable_id', imageable.id
write_attribute 'imageable_type', "rule"
#from this point forward, it's just the same code from the recipe and from other controllers that work that I'm attempting to DRY up..
def fullsize_path
File.join(DIRECTORY, "#{self.imageable_type}_#{self.id}_#{self.timestamp}.#{extension}")
def process
if @image
@image = nil
def save_fullsize
File.open(fullsize_path,'wb') do |file|
file.puts @image.read
def create_directory
FileUtils.mkdir_p DIRECTORY
def cleanup
Dir[File.join(DIRECTORY, "#{self.imageable_type}_#{self.id}_#{self.timestamp}.#{extension}")].each do |filename|
File.unlink(filename) rescue nil
When I run this, it gives a weird (incorrect) value for imageable_type and imageable_id in the DB. In this case, for one I just ran:
imageable_id = 19251268
imageable_type = Array
The latter I understand why it says Array (since the Rule.find... in the controller returns it into @refobject, which is an array). I would assume 19251268 is a valid number that is cropping up for the same reason. Thinking this may function like the console example in the recipe, I tried changing @refobject to refobject in both the controller and the _form partial, and that died with the error "undefined local variable or method `refobject'".
Then I tried @refobject[0].id and @refobject[0].type, which did give me the right values. But it doesn't seem like it's right for the One True Rails Way.. nor, really, does putting all of this in the view -- seems like the view should just point a reference to the object and the model should pop out all the values it needs to put in the DB.
(As one last note to this long-winded post.. I tried changing the
write_attribute 'imageable_type', "rule"
#to the following:
write_attribute 'imageable_type', imageable.type ## or imageable.class
and I get the message "can't dump anonymous class Class").
Any help for me? I really want to do this the right way, because if I'm going to use RoR it's stupid to hack it back to being PHP.

Surrey looks to House bill to support growth plans
The City of Surrey is hoping state legislators look favorably on a bill that would allow the city to expand its water service to new property developments.
House Bill 1440 will be heard before the House Energy and Natural Resources Committee Thursday. The bill would permit a city's governing body to petition the Public Service Commission to exclude all or part of the city from a water district.
The bill also spells out the compensation rules in transferring territory and any existing water distribution infrastructure from a water district to a city. It requires the State Water Commission to consider whether a water district is in dispute with another public entity or whether a proposed project would harm another public entity before granting any state funds to the water district.
The North Dakota Rural Water Systems Association opposes the bill. A spokesperson was unavailable to explain the organization's position.
The City of Surrey would like to extend its water distribution system to new developments as they are built and annexed into the city. Those areas now are part of North Prairie Rural Water District's service area. Surrey is hindered in its negotiations with North Prairie because it previously had not formally identified the territory as its growth area, city auditor Jason Vaagen said. By gaining the right to provide water service, the city could ensure that adequate fire protection and other services are provided, he said.
Surrey operates its own water distribution system but contracts with North Prairie for its water supply. If the city is unable to incorporate growth into its city system, residents in the new areas would contract as individuals to buy water from North Prairie.
Rep. Andrew Maragos, R-Minot, a co-sponsor of the bill, spoke at a recent forum in Minot to stress the need for a more equitable situation for communities that are trying to grow. However, he added that it will be challenging to get a bill passed this session, and it may require persistence and future legislative efforts should efforts fail this time.
The bill was introduced by Rep. Curtiss Kreun, R-Grand Forks. It is co-sponsored by Reps. Maragos and Roscoe Streyle, R-Minot, and Sen. Oley Larsen, R-Minot, and by several representatives and senators from Jamestown, Devils Lake and Crosby.
Minot is not directly affected by the legislation because it has an established growth area and can negotiate with North Prairie to bring new developments into its municipal water system.

At the beginning of this conversation with Rabbi Sharon Brous and again at the end, we discuss a seminal prayer-poem of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Unetaneh Tokef. It is a recital of commonplace mortal perils of the year to come:
How many shall pass away and how many shall be born, Who shall live and who shall die Who shall be at peace and who shall be pursued, Who shall be exalted and who shall be brought low
Our culture human nature magnified denies frailty and finitude with a million devices. This religious ritual, more realistically, stares them in the face and asks us to make sense of our lives in and because of them. This program evokes so much that I love about Jewish tradition like the fact that it is supremely attuned to human nature's messiness as well as its nobility. It comprehends the fact that we turn a phrase like "living like there's no tomorrow" into a cliché, an excuse for froth or license. And so, by the calendar, cyclically, Jews both secular and devout are stopped in their tracks by the long blasts of the shofar and High Holy Day rituals that cleanse, humble, deepen, anchor, and refresh. In long hours of prayer, liturgy, and fasting, worshippers name and reckon with the transgressions and omissions of the year past both individual and communal and wipe the slate clean for the moment in time ahead. We had wanted to find a way to explore the Jewish High Holy Days for years, and we might have interviewed any number of wonderful guests, who would have provided myriad windows into the themes and meaning of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. But as we researched this program, my imagination was caught by Sharon Brous. She is a rabbi in the conservative school of Judaism, but spent a number of actively disaffected, secular years doubting the validity of faith in a modern life. She now leads an urban community she helped to found in Los Angeles in 2004 named IKAR after the Hebrew word for "essence," or "core." Her congregation is bursting to the seams, mostly with people in their 20s and 30s. IKAR calls itself both progressive and traditional. Alongside social justice engagement, their Yom Kippur worship will include the ancient spiritual posture of full-body prostration. Solemn words like repentance and atonement define the Days of Awe, though these English translations of Hebrew words are resonant culturally with their Christian appropriations. More importantly, they don't capture the poetic and visual nuances of the Hebrew. Yet Sharon Brous embraces them intellectually and kinetically. In the deepest spirit of Jewish tradition of midrash and Talmud, of reverent yet imaginative interpretation of text and practice, of sacred and fearless conversation across generations about them she fills them with new connotations for her generation. There is a new Zeitgeist that she embodies, and that intrigues me. Sharon Brous could not be more different from other recent younger guests I've had, such as the Christian Shane Claiborne or the Muslim Eboo Patel; but she reminds me of both of them. They are all thoroughly modern, deeply thoughtful, spiritually wise beyond their years at once fully engaged in modern life and rooted in ancient spiritual soil. They are fierce about making their traditions relevant and as passionate about transmitting the beauty and wisdom their faiths have revealed across the ages. In one moving part of our conversation, Rabbi Brous speaks about teachings in Jewish tradition that grieve her, as a woman in particular. But she adds that "the wisdom that comes from this text comes from the same place as the excruciating pain that flows from it." And even the tears she cries over the pages of Talmud or Torah, she insists, become part of the mix of the living tradition that she carries forward into a new year.

Topic: Bilingual website
I want to create a large bilingual website (English/German), but wonder how to approach this project. Each piece of content needs to be available in both languages, and a lot of it will be pulled from a database. There will also be a button to switch from one language to the other. Has anybody ever done a similar project or can hint me into some direction?
Any idea is appreciated!

behind the pages. (and free stuff!)
i discovered her work on scrapbook.com a few years ago. her pages are AMAZING and she is simply put - my favorite all-time scrapbooker! she has a great eye for color and layouts, and put patterns together better than i ever could. it also helps that she has 3 boys, so her pages really speak to me... and she works for Basic Grey which produces my absolute favorite paper combinations!
sounds great right?
then i found out she lives up the road from me.
then i found her on facebook.
then i realized we went to the same high school!
seriously its such a small world.
anyway - enough gushing. if you're not already familiar with her work - you will love it!
warning here: you may feel woefully inadequate as i do :)
however, her layout inspiration has made my scrapbooking life so much easier!
since i work full time, i simply do not have enough hours in the day to spend as much time as i would like on my hobby. so i have to make the most of every minute!
using her ideas for my pages makes my page process MUCH quicker!
here are some of my scraplifts:
her page:
my page:
yes i know mine is not nearly as good as hers.. but its not bad!
and i took her pencil idea and threw a protractor on this page. (i had not purchased a protractor in forever!!)
here's another page of Kelly's:
which inspired this:
get the picture? i have so many more.. i actually have a binder where i keep print-outs of the pages i want to do.. so i'm a bit of a scrap-stalker i guess.
she also makes great mini-albums, which i have to share:
jealous yet?
kelly is not only a talented, creative genius - she is also an incredibly sweet and fun-loving person who chronicles her work on her blog.. called "behind the pages".
in addition to basic grey products she swears by this white pen! so in honor of today's post - i am giving away a basic grey collection - your choice between the green at heart or june bug collection and a signo white uniball pen! (and some other scrap goodies thrown in)
to be eligible for the giveaway.. all you have to do is become a follower of patchwork pages... check out kelly's blog, and leave a comment on this post!
here is a link to kelly's scrapbook.com gallery.
and you can check out basic grey here.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 5 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by auntp1 Not worth the money After reading the reviews I decided on this rowing machine. It was delivered yesterday and took about 45 minutes to put together. Sat down on it and put tension on highest level, There was no tension on this machine at all ! I went to our local Dick's today and explained this to the clerk. I asked him if I could return this and get a better machine and he said yes. He showed me a Sole rowing machine which I am going to purchase. So, it's back home to take the Life Core rowing machine apart and return it to the store. Don't waste your time and money on the Life Core Fitness R88 Rower. November 5, 2015

Eagle Point Man Arrested At Airport
Police at Portland International Airport say an Oregon man who was told he couldn't carry a loaded gun through a security checkpoint disregarded the recommendation that he check the pistol through as luggage. They say the man dropped the gun in an airport planter box.
Transportation Security Administration employees told Port of Portland police on June 24 that a passenger had asked for advice about what to do with the firearm. They say they watched as the man chose the planter box option instead.
Port of Portland spokesman Steve Johnson says port police recovered the loaded .22-caliber pistol. The traveler was taken into custody as he was once again proceeding through a security checkpoint to get on a flight.
The Oregonian reports that police arrested 69-year-old Soren Muir Johnson of Eagle Point for investigation of reckless endangering. Police say the man told them he hid the gun so he could retrieve it when he returned from his trip.

Senior Faith Govan spent last fall abroad, studying in Cape Town and working with the Amy Biehl Foundation, an NGO dedicated to providing "transformative experiences for young people in under-served communities" in post-apartheid South Africa.
"I have always been interested in reconciliation processes and South Africa [was] the perfect place to see forgiveness at work," said Govan, whose internship was funded by the Center for Engagement with Communities' LEARN (Learning Enrichment & Academic Resources Network) fellowship program.
"My fellowship gave me the opportunity to travel all the way across the world and see how teaching tolerance and forgiveness, and the basic foundations of human rights can have an incredible impact on a population. I hope to continue this work for as long as I can all over the world."
Click here to read more on www.profellow.com.
The Amy Biehl Foundation is led by alumna Linda Biehl '65 and is named after her daughter Amy who was killed in an act of political mob violence in South Africa while she was there as a Fulbright Fellow. Linda and her late husband Peter turned the tragic death of their daughter into action by creating the Foundation to keep their daughter's passion for helping others alive. Based in Guguletu, South Africa, this organization has had a direct impact on the lives of the people there, and serves as a lasting model for social action.
As a result of their involvement in South Africa, the Biehls were with Mandela when he received the U.S. Congressional Medal of Honor in 1998.
"He was just this honest, simple person," she said. "He went from being an imprisoned terrorist to a lauded humanitarian. He has this amazing gentleness about him and nothing he ever said was a cliché."

text: Long blonde waves often make for the best bed-head or wash 'n wear looks. The light color, when cut, layered, or thinned, and then styled messily, show different shades of blonde that add to the visual treat. Curls and waves naturally provide movement, and a clean, sexy look is achieved when these are kept back from the face but then left alone without any further styling. Finger-combing with minimum styling product is often enough for a day or night out.

High School Volleyball: Lady Rattlers split matches at Floresville Tournament
From Staff Reports
FLORESVILLE— The San Marcos Lady Rattlers continue to gain valuable experience as Michelle Moreno's team prepares for the start of its District 27-5A season this week.
San Marcos participated in the Floresville Tournament last weekend.
In Saturday's tournament action, the Lady Rattlers split their matches against Corpus Christi Moody and Eagle Pass.
San Marcos notched a 2-1 victory over the Lady Eagles (24-26, 25-9, 26-24).
In their match, the Lady Rattlers saw a solid effort for their two main juniors — libero Katherine Reeves and middle blocker Kile Coleman. Reeves led the team with 21 digs, while Coleman finished just short of a double-double with eight digs and 11 kills.
With the win, San Marcos improved its record during the Floresville Tournament to 3-3 and is 9-7 overall.
The Lady Rattlers began the tournament with last Friday's pool play round, which included a busy slate of four games. San Marcos went 2-2 and finished third in its pool.
The Lady Rattlers' first game of the tournament came against San Antonio Holmes where Moreno's team lost 2-0 (25-17, 25-7). San Marcos bounced back in its next game against San Antonio Edison with a 2-1 victory (25-17, 25-14, 28-26).
Senior Kayla Banks and Coleman led the team to the victory with hitting averages above .300 during the match.
Coleman had 12 kills and Banks added four more. San Marcos also received a strong match from senior D'Nauzscha Nichols who added seven kills to top the Golden Bears. Reeves accounted for more than half of her team's total digs with 22 and provided leadership on the back line, which Moreno's team needs moving forward.
The Lady Rattlers lost their third pool game last Friday to Laredo United by a score of 2-0 (25-13, 25-22). San Marcos finished up pool play with a 2-0 victory (25-23, 25-12) over Universal City Randolph.

Here's Why Bonds Matter on Election Day
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shortly after Americans select a president for the next four years, Congress will reconvene to solve the so-called fiscal cliff, and bond investors would be wise to keep an eye on discussions.
Treasury bond yields hit historic lows over the summer as speculation about whether Federal Reserve would embark on another round of quantitative easing kept investors on edge. The Fed eventually announced the extension of its Operation Twist maturity extension program through the end of the year as well as an open-ended, mortgage-backed securities purchasing program in mid-September.
While the yield on the 10-year Treasury has bounced back over the past few months, it still remains solidly below 2%, and that's pushed many investors into lower credit quality corporate bonds, according to Jeffrey Sica, chief investment officer of SICA Wealth Management.
"First of all, people have become extremely hungry for yields, so they've moved to lower credit quality bonds in order to get yields," said Sica. "So they've put themselves in the position of taking on more risks just to achieve yield."
Many bond analysts have said it's difficult to draw any conclusions about what will happen to bonds after the election, as any prediction has to be multi-pronged: Forecasting not only who will win the presidential election but also how the make-up of Congress shapes up and what deals will get done in order to address the fiscal cliff.
Here are a few scenarios that could play out:
In the event of a Barack Obama victory, investors should be able to trust that the Fed will be little changed. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's second term runs through Jan. 31, 2014. Unlike Mitt Romney, Obama has not expressed any intention to remove Bernanke before that date.
Pertaining to central bank policy, Bernanke and the Fed have committed to continue open-ended quantitative easing until the economy and the labor market not only improve significantly and also show an ability to maintain that momentum for an extended period of time. The bank has not been more specific about how long.
This means the Fed's efforts will continue to keep a lid on Treasury yields for the foreseeable future and likely push more investors toward other investments, such as stocks and corporate bonds.
A Mitt Romney victory, on the other hand, would leave investors with a lot of questions.
Romney has said he would remove Bernanke as Fed chairman if he wins the presidency. The former Massachusetts governor has also expressed a lack of enthusiasm for monetary stimulus, so the fate of quantitative easing would be left in doubt.
In addition, Romney has promised to rein in spending, and his policies have seemed to favor less central banking activity and less bond buying, which could begin to boost the yield in treasuries and eventually lead investors back into higher quality credit treasury bonds. Analysts aren't sure how long, though, a massive move like this would take.

Garden Club closes 2013 with lunch
Warren Garden Club enjoyed the last meeting of the 2013 season with a Christmas luncheon at the Warren Woman's Club. Ellen Paquette played the harp as background music for a social hour prior to the lunch.
Paper Nordic snowflakes hung on branches of holly comprised the centerpieces on each table. Club members were invited to take a snowflake home as their Christmas favor. Priscilla Breese and her committee decorated and made all luncheon arrangements.
After lunch, Rebecca Ryan presided over her last meeting as president. She presented each executive board member and the members of the standing and ad hoc committees with a holly decorated Christmas ornament as a token of thanks for the year's work.
Congratulations were extended to Louise Dyer for completing her work to become an accredited flower show judge.
Joyce Milberg, Director of District VIII of the Garden Club Federation of Pennsylvania, presided over the initiation of the 2014 local officers. She compared the properties of certain herbs to the different offices in an organization. It takes many herbs blended well to prepare a delicious meal. Thus it takes several well chosen officers to create a successfully run organization.
Dyer was initiated as the new garden club president. This position was likened to the herb sage. Sage is valued as a powerful healing herb, thus a president must assume the duty of power and one who heals differences. Lavender with its lovely fragrance which is felt to induce pleasant dreams was related to the first vice-president Sue Barone. This position is responsible for creating a pleasant atmosphere in an organization. Pat Christy's position of second vice-president was likened to the herb chamomile. Chamomile settles the nerves and muscles so likewise brightens and creates relaxation in an organization.
Recording secretary Priscilla Breese relates to the properties of marjoram, used to create polish and organization. Treasurer Dorothy McCarthy likened to dill which sooths digestion after paying the bills. Basil, which is welcomed and loved in many dishes, was assigned to corresponding secretary Dottie Higgins who sends cards of love and welcome to all sick and new members.
Departing president Ryan was presented with a pressed flower picture created by Marianne Fernstrom. The frame was made by Mike Fernstrom.

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams puts vending machines at Port Columbus
The Columbus Dispatch - April 17, 2013 06:35 PM
Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams has designed, built and installed two vending machines at Port Columbus, with a third machine coming by mid-summer.
Welcome to Columbus!
"Port Columbus passengers are pleasantly surprised to find Jeni's ice cream in the airport," said Elaine Roberts, president and CEO of Columbus Regional Airport Authority, in a statement.
The airport recently installed the vending machines after security checkpoints in its B and C concourses, and plans to install one in Concourse A this summer. The machines dispense 6-ounce containers of ice cream and frozen yogurt ($5 apiece), as well as Jeni's macaroon ice cream sandwiches ($6).
Customers can use credit or debit cards to purchase their ice cream.
"We are pleased to offer our customers another quality concession option, and we appreciate the opportunity to partner with Jeni's on their new self-service vending," Roberts said.
Ice cream artist Jeni Britton Bauer started Jeni's in 2002 in the North Market in Columbus. Jeni's uses grass-grazed cream from Snowville Creamery in Pomeroy, local produce and ingredients including fair-trade vanilla and bean-to-bar chocolate to make its creations.
Jeni's pints and other products are sold in nearly 700 stores nationwide, as well as scoop shops in Ohio and Tennessee. The company expects to add shops in Easton and Columbus Commons soon.
Do the vending machines signal a new growth strategy for Columbus' favorite artisanal ice cream maker?
"The answer is, 'no,'" said Jeni's CEO, John Lowe. "We think it's a unique way to partner with the airport." The machines "are great," Lowe said. "We're excited about them. But we don't have plans to put them elsewhere."
"I'm really proud of the team, Jeni and our art and design team," he said. "They designed one of the most beautiful vending machines I've ever seen."

Our goals at this Ministerial are clear and simple: to support our ally Turkey by moving toward a deployment of Patriot Missiles to augment their air defenses, to help them protect their people and population; to broaden our cooperation and political dialogue with Russia; to strengthen our partnerships with other countries, including Georgia; and with all our ISAF partners, to monitor our progress toward successful transition in Afghanistan by 2014.
In addition to the goals, however, this Ministerial is noteworthy, because of Secretary Clinton. This is her 38th trip to Europe since becoming Secretary of State; and her ninth and last NATO Ministerial.
She has left behind a very impressive legacy at NATO and in the domain of European and global security.
As she said last Thursday at a speech in Washington: "The last four years represent not a new direction, but a return to form, and a reminder of what the United States and Europe stand for."
Four years ago, our relationship with our European Allies was often contentious. Now it's harmonious and cooperative.
When Secretary Clinton came to her first NATO Ministerial in March 2009, the war in Afghanistan didn't seem to be going anywhere. Now we have a clear timetable for handing over responsibility to the Afghans themselves.
European missile defense seemed an impossible dream, and it was dividing the Allies. Under Secretary Clinton's leadership, we made it into a NATO system, so it became a source of unity, not division. And now it's a reality.
When she began as Secretary of State, the NATO-Russia dialogue had been shut down as a result of the Russia-Georgia war. She created a consensus within NATO to re-engage with Russia. By bringing all the Allies together in a united effort, we were able to bring the Russians back to the table and renew our relationship.
Today, we have a distribution system of supplies to Afghanistan passing through Russia, something unthinkable when she first arrived here in 2009.
The Russia-NATO relationship is not always easy, but as Secretary Clinton has made clear, you can't accomplish anything if you can't sit together at the same table.
The Secretary understood from the beginning that NATO's mission is best accomplished through a wide network of partner relationships -- and not just in the Euro-Atlantic community. She led the charge on broadening NATO's relations with partners and allies in Asia and around the world. She helped ensure greater flexibility for partners to participate and contribute, thus enhancing NATO's capacity as a global hub of security.
Under the Secretary's leadership, we developed new ideas for strengthening our partnerships in Berlin in 2011, and this year in Chicago we reaffirmed our commitment to this new approach. These partnerships allow us to act with greater legitimacy, share burdens more broadly, and benefit from the capabilities of others. This work has transformed NATO into a truly global hub of security.
Secretary Clinton has also been a tireless advocate for NATO enlargement and has worked hard to convince our four aspirant partners to make the necessary reforms for eventual membership.
Today, NATO is more relevant, more necessary, more capable and more unified than ever.

This post is disingenuous. You claim to broadening cooperation and dialogue with Russia, in the same breath as you advocate deployment of Patriot missiles to Turkey, which serves no purpose other than to provoke Russia. You say NATO is more relevant and necessary than ever; well, it is no longer a relic of the Cold War. It has been transformed into an imperial force, spreading "regime change" throughout the colonial world.

An economic & trade alliance without too much defence/strategic content in it's agenda as in NATO but as structured as NATO with SAARC countries as an extension of ASEAN can be a good initiative, which evoke warm response from all SAARC countries. Rest may follow spontaneously.

Making a Will
You have a new life growing inside of you, and the last thing on your mind is your last will and testament. But that new life is just the reason you need to plan. If you have any property or money at all that you would like to save from the IRS and preserve for your child, and if you want the right to decide who will be appointed your child's personal guardian if you should die prematurely, you need to write a will.
If you have significant assets, long-term care responsibilities, or reason to fear that someone may contest your will, or if you want to set up a living trust, a bypass trust, or a Durable Power of Attorney, you probably need an attorney to produce your will. If, on the other hand, your will needs only to appoint a guardian for your children, appoint an executor to oversee the distribution of your assets, and lay out the plan for the distribution of your assets, you should be able to prepare your will yourself, using legal software, a statutory fill in the blanks will, or a stationary store will, which gives you a little more flexibility than the statutory will does.
But actually working your way through the paperwork is only a small part of the will preparation process. There are four stages to writing a will: planning, information gathering, form filling, and storing.
First of all, you need to plan, to evaluate your priorities and your options to figure out what will serve your child best, be most helpful to your loved ones, and do the best job of protecting your assets. You need to be tax-wise, and you need to choose an executor you trust. Most importantly, you need to select and sit down with the one person worthy of being a personal guardian for your child. Make sure to choose just one personal guardian for your child, as two or more may at some point go separate ways, leaving your child in the middle. The guardian you choose should be someone both you and your child are comfortable with and have absolute confidence in. They should share your basic moral sense and your philosophy of parenting. It is also important that the guardian you choose be able to take on parenting responsibilities: they must be physically able to handle the workload, and their schedule must be able to accommodate a child.
But in thinking about the person with whom you are willing to share the sacred duty of raising your child, you also need to think about money. Does the guardian you have in mind have the financial resources needed to raise a child? How much support can you provide them? It is possible to select two guardians, one property guardian to act as a financial manager and one personal guardian to act as a surrogate parent. If you want to leave money to your child, you will need to appoint a custodian to oversee it until your child turns 21 (in most states, anyway). Think through these issues and discuss them with your potential guardian and an alternate guardian, which you should also select in case anything should happen to your guardian.
