Lies, Lies, Lies: Welcome to the G.O.P.Posted Saturday, July 30, 2011, at 12:32 PM
I apologize for being M.I.A. for an extended period of time. I've had a very busy summer. I found a few articles posted on-line, and thought they were worth checking out. The chart I am posting is taken from one of these articles. I hope you'll have time to check it out.
I'd be even more thrilled if our fair Congresswoman Emerson would respond to this information, but I highly doubt that will happen. Remember your (recent) history, folks. I think it is high time we stop allowing ourselves to be mislead by this politicking by the White-House hungry G.O.P.
Here are the links:
Finally, if Congresswoman Emerson is "too busy" to address the truth, perhaps some of our own in-house fiscal conservatives have an opinion.
So, ShannonHoon, LayneStaley, BonScott, (whichever of you is S.D....I knew there had to be a Republican P.R. talking head in our midst), Swift, Bearcat72, I.B. Le Truth, Geezerette, and so on....please tell me how you feel about these charts.
There is a second chart that I couldn't upload in the first link posted. Please take the time to READ all three links and think for yourself about the factual information presented!
Here's to another round of the same old tricks by the Grand Old Party!

By the way, in case you weren't able to tell (I thought you would be able to enlarge the photo) the red bar represents the Bush administration from 2001-2008. The blue represents the Obama administration from 2009 to 2011. Again, please visit these websites and enlarge the charts to get a better understanding of what is being discussed.

Well, Actually, welcome back! As a member of the Prohibition Party, I will say that BOTH major parties know how to decieve the American public. We have very good leaders in the Prohibition Party who nearly sound like Democrats in their daily emails. We also have anti-Democratic Party leaders in our party who sound an awful lot like Republicans.
I'm not an economist or a political expert so I really cannot comment on the pros or cons of the charts. But, I will say this: history may be about to repeat itself. In '95, the GOP controlled the House. There was a partial government shut down. Compromises were reached, and agreements were made. Bill Clinton won a second term in '06. I was not a fan of GW Bush and most certainly am not a fan of Obama.
What I want to know is why the Democratic Senate refused to even vote on the Cap, Cut, and Balance bills 1 and 2. The second was a compromise bill. Both included a proposed Balance Budget Amendment. Everybody knows that taxes will have to be raised, spending has to be decreased, and our budget needs to be balanced. Social Security, Medicare, and our national defense don't need huge cuts. They can be streamlined to save money without hurting our seniors or military. The Prohibition Party members, Don Webb and Leroy Pletten, have proposed a so called Jubilee Principle. Check my blog on that, Actually. In the mean time, I'm comparing the charts with charts from MarketWatch.com.

How can allowing people to keep more of the money they have earned be considered spending??????

Both republican and and democrat parties cause a lot of America's financial and health problems by backing vices such as abortion and alcohol that drain a state of its people and money. Legal abortion killed over 32,000 kids in Georgia in AD 2008. Legal alcohol in Georgia cost the state 331 lives lost to DUI in AD 2009. It cost the state of Georgia 1.6 billion dollars to pay for the deaths and chaos. 32,000 unborn children when adult and 331 people living, working, and enjoying life and the 1.6 billion dollars spent to fund businesses would make the state stronger.
If people really want to make their state and nation stronger, they should join the Prohibition Party and help it to correct the abuses of politics gone bad.

Actually, I sent the link to your blog entry to nearly everyone of my Prohibitionist friends. It became quite a discussion with emails sent back in forth! Anyway, I'm going out on a limb and am printing one such email exchange. What is articulated below is the economic theory of the Prohibition Party. My blog entry on the Jubilee Principle covers some of this:
With all due respect to you, I have to challenge your obvious misconceptions about Populism and the Scriptures. You ask some "vague" questions, but I will attempt to respond based on my understanding of your questions.
"How are Populists to be for the common people?"
Who else would they be for, MA? Populism means "for the people." It is not for the "special interests" of the liberal or socialist Democrats or for the "private interests" of the conservative or capitalist Republicans. If one genuinely understands the Constitution, they know it was initially a "populist" document, but infortunately it has been perverted or interpreted "cafeteria-style" by most who claim they are Constitutionalists including many reading this email. Do you not remember the beginning words of the Constitution which read: "We the people..."
"How does one undergird Populism with Biblical truth?"
True Populism is based on Biblical truths. True Populists know and believe in Romans 13 that government has the right and authority to stop the greedy from exploiting the workers and gouging the consumers. (Of course, Romans 13 also gives government the authority to keep Law and Order in society and to protect the helpless - such as the unborn.) True, Biblical-based and Biblical-knowledged Populists know and understand that the Principles of the Jubilee is God's perfect economic system where all people who are willing and able to work can too be prosperous - not just the rich, and the rich are not allowed to dominate the holding of wealth as they are today under the Capitalist system.
"I think what is mistaken for "capitalism" maybe is corporate capitalism ...or greedy capitalists."
As I have explained before, I do not like the words "capitalism" or "capitalist" because of their misunderstood context. I prefer "Competitive Free Enterprise" as the proper description of a proper and fair economic system, provided that government is allowed (as it should be) to stop the greedy business owner (whether it be the "Mom and Pop" or the Corporate owners) from exploiting the workers or gouging the consumers - as well as stifling competition. As I have also explained before, but even many Christians don't want to admit it - is that man - even a "saved Christian" - still has a potential to give in to the "greedy sinful nature," but we know many - if not most -businessmen- especially owners of large corporate businesses - are not Christians - at least in the manny they operate their businesses. If they were Christians, they would not operate their companies in the greedy manner they do. And until we all acknowledge this, we will never get a handle on the Truth. Unbridled capitalism, without allowing government (again, under the authority of Romans 13), to control the "greedy sinful nature" of the businessman results in a society where the wealthy eventually dominate everything and the poor have no chance for that "2nd chance in life."
"There is enough for everyone. "
Yes, you are right here. Under God's Principles of the Jubilee, there is more than enough for everyone. But in our modern economy where we use money or currency rather than bartering, we have to have a National Bank to make sure that ALL have access to capital so they can, as you write, "...produce and distribute goods or services for profit."
You also wrote; "One produces and distributes for profit without gouging his competition ...like Walmart does [and possibly others do to]. Walmart will establish a new store in an area, lower its prices to beat out all competition, to the point of putting others out of business. They can take a loss from one store while other stores keep their profits up. When it has cornered the market in one area and the competition isn't a problem any longer it can then begin to raise their prices."
Surely you mis-wrote here or I'm not reading it the way you mean it. Surely, though, you don't accept Wal-Mart's concept as Godly? Also remember, you and I can buy those cheap products at Wal-Mart because of the "slave labor wages" the Chinese and other foreign laborers are paid for producing them. Or, do you. like many Republicans, accept this as okay? I actually read in a newspaper sometime ago, where one (Republican I assume) stated, "Well, at least these people (the Chinese) have jobs." So did the slaves on the Southern Plantations.
What you, and many others, appear to misunderstand, is that under the Federal Reserve System with it private banking system, one has to have collateral to borrow capital so they can "produce and distribute goods or services for (a reasonable) profit." Only the wealthy or who or fortunate enough to have collateral, can borrow money to start a business. Is this fair? I think not! Why should I have to place my home up for collateral to borrow a million dollars to start a business? If that business fails, the tangible assets left over, (i.e., the building, equipment, etc.,) can be sold off so the bank can get its loan back. Sometimes they get more back than what they loaned. Instead, the greedy private banking system we have today, not only wants those tangible assets, but they also want my home. This is not only unfair, it is wrong, and it violates the Principles of God's Jubilee, but still most Republicans and many professing Christians deny such and claim it is fair and okay.
A National Bank, instead would loan me the money - which it can create (coin - without debt or interest) by authority of the Constitution (Article I, Section VIII, Paragraph 5), and would allow that bank (through a local government branch) to loan me the money without any collateral. All I would have to do is present a business plan (as you do today with the private bank) and if the bank officials were convinced my business idea was feasible, they would loan me the money needed - without interest - or with simple interest if at all - and the officials would know if my business venture failed, they could take the building or equipment I had purchased (and they should have the right to demand that at least 90% of my loan be invested in those tangible assets) and sell it to recoup the loan. If this failure were to happen, I would still be able to keep my home and hopefully try another business venture another day which might work.
Now I ask you, what is wrong with this economic concept? Is it too "communistic" or too "socialistic" for you who have been brainwashed into believing that only the greedy private bankers should be allowed to loan money and gouge the debtor with compounded interest? This is what most Republicans believe, and unfortunately too many profession Christians of the 3rd party arena also believe. How sad.
Your comments about "undercutting," "[h]ealthy competition," and "God will bless that" are all good points which I agree with. However, I am not so sure there is such a thing as "Christian capitalism." To me this sounds like an "oxymoron." But I do know an economic system based on God's "Principles of the Jubilee" will work and God will bless those and any nation who will follow and obey them. The United States does not today, and this is one reason why we are in the economic mess we are in. People tend to forget - including many professing patrotic Christians, that God is in control. It is His political and economic principles - not man's - whether (socialism of the Democrats or capitalism of the Republicans) - but God's - that are correct and that will work. Too bad the Republicans (and the Democrats too) have forgotten this. Equally too bad, we of the 3rd party agenda have forgotten it also.
MA, there is much more I could write, but most (if not you, yourself) have already deleted it - as they don't want to hear the Truth. So if what I have already presented does not at least start you to reassessing what you have been taught over the decades about economics, then nothing else I can write or say will change your mind.
These are my thoughts on the matter for what they are worth.
Don Webb]
And here are some points made on another email from my friend, Don Webb.
[Billy Joe:
I'm sick and tired of all the phonies. I don't care what they "mouth" or "do" to make us think they are one of us. If they don't or won't do the following (and there are other issues, but these are starters) they are phonies in my book and I will oppose them regardless of the political label - Democrat, Republican, or whatever - they may wear.
1. Do they support a National Bank which will issue only US currency, debt free and interest free?
2. Will they demand the US get out of the UN, and the UN out of the US immediately?
3. Will they demand we stop trading with China and Russia immediately?
4. Will they outlaw the shipping and outsourcing of any and all American jobs to foreign nations, and confiscate the financial assets, factories and equipment of any American company which attempts to do so?
5. Will they demand those former American factories (and jobs) which have been outsourced or shipped to foreign countries, be returned to the United States immediately, or immediately deport any citizen owning or invested in such factories who refuses to do so?
6. Will they place a minimum 25% tariff on any goods which might be imported to America and place that tariff in a special trust for patriotic American businessmen to build factories here in the United States?
7. Will they recognize that Alcohol, Tobacco, and Gambling accounts for 40% of the insurance premiums, health costs, law enforcement, and social programs, respectively, for Alcohol and Tobacco users and Gambling addicts, and if American citizens are too stupid to demand the outlawing of such commodities or activities, then will they assess appropriate taxes on both the producers/owners and the users and participants of, or in, such entities so the non-user taxpayers will get a break?
As I said, there are other issues also, but these are a good litmus test for a true Christian patriot. If they will not agree to these positions, they are phonies, not matter what positions they may take on other issues.]
Actually, This is how I believe! I hope you read this. you've probably already noticed, none of the folks you named in your blog entry commented except for me.

Sorry peeps, but the facilities used to manufacture yellow macaroni dye are not sustainable. nuff said.
There's another petition making the rounds trying to force Kraft to stop using food coloring in their famous Kraft Macaroni & Cheese. The petitioners say that the coloring adds no value to the product other than its bright orange color, and that said coloring "chemicals" are unhealthy.I say, if you don't like the "chemicals" that they use, then don't buy their product!
Do these people even understand what they are doing to their poor tires when they rub silicon(Armor All) on them?

Skip to comments.Gingrich Appears to Support Akin
Posted on 09/02/2012 2:50:14 PM PDT by katiedidit1
Former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich appeared on Sunday to defend Missouri Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin, who has been pressured by Republicans to bow out of the race after saying that women dont get pregnant from legitimate rape.
I think Todd Akin is the choice of the people of Missouri. And Todd Aiken has publicly apologized, Gingrich said on NBCs Meet the Press. People make mistakes.
Gingrich said he is fed up with the one-sided bias that has Akin under fire for his comments but gives a pass to Vice President Joe Biden, who told an audience that included many black supporters that if Republicans win they will put them economically back in chains.
(Excerpt) Read more at nationaljournal.com ...
Newt the eternal warrior and defender of conservatism.
"Wheres the outrage over overt, deliberate racism? Gingrich asked. How come Biden shouldn't get off the ticket?
Last week, Gingrichs former presidential campaign aide, Rick Tyler, joined the Akin campaign.
Karl Rove should be required to wear ankle monitors so that we know where he is at all times. Only then will conservatives feel safe in expressing their own opinions.
Mittens couldn't run fast enough from Akin. Newt, on the other hand, stands on the front lines. That's how you tell the difference between spineless politicians and real men.
Well, if anyone knows anything about women, it's Newt.
Did he stand by Clint Eastwood?
Just because he smacks the idiot Rove around doesn't mean he supports Akin. I do though. heh.
Did who stand by Eastwood?
Newt does stand with Akins. One of his staffers has been working on Akin's campaign since last week. I stand with Akin too:)
Gingrich. I heard he didn't at all, but I wasn't watching his appearance(s) today.
As you know Newt isn't my favorite person but I for one appreciate him standing up for what's right in this case.
Newt confessed before God and the world. Newt apologized and he has been happily married to Calista for years. Rove has been married 3 times and last I heard he was called an atheist..who knows? he is a jerk for his comments on Akin and he is a paid mouthpiece for Fox and the republican party. He should be fired from Fox and reprimanded by the gop
I am glad to hear that cripplecreek:) and I know due to our numerous and intense primary battles.
You would think that what Akin said was the end of the world. A small gaff in a world going to shi! and stupid Republican jackasses still continue "The end of the world is near with what Akin said". This guy is a good conservative and doesn't deserve Republican crap but support.
Your tag fits you well. Logic was not used by the gop in Akin's case. Yes, he is a good, strong conservative. Such an endangered species these days:)
"Gingrich. I heard he didnt at all, but I wasnt watching his appearance(s) today."
I'm not sure what you are referencing. I have not heard of anything about Newt and Clint, pro or con. I wasn't even aware Clint did something that required people to stand with him against the odds.
I'm with Newt on this one.
I found some of his comments. Called it a distraction but also said for Mitt it's good to have Saturday night live focus skits on Clint rather than Mitt. So that's not too bad. On NBC:
If youre Mitt Romney and your choice is to have Saturday Night Live decide to pick on Clint Eastwood or pick on you, I think Id give them Clint Eastwood every night for the rest of the campaign, he said.
I was just asking. Lots of disinformation on the intertubes.
Oddly enough, the last time the major nonpartisan polls did a survey of the Missouri senate race was over a week ago, 8/23, right after Akin's gaffe. You would think there would be at least a little interest to see if the numbers had changed by now.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - What a difference a week makes in politics. A new poll out Wednesday shows embattled U.S. Senate Republican candidate Todd Akin ahead
I don't have much to say about either one, although I think Newt would have been a good choice for the nomination.
Misleading title.
The original article was on a link that free republic does not support. However, the gist is that Newt stated Akin should stay in the race and Newt also does not approve of Rove's comments.
Yes, I read the article. You can read the title two ways.
Either it means that Gingrich gives the appearance of supporting Akin and maybe doesn't (which is what I thought on first reading), or Gingrich made an appearance in which he expressed support for Akin (which is what the article says).
As I said, misleading.

Another true cattle story
True story: Texas Long Horns Part 2, the late 50s; the attack
We had a huge corral that I built all by hand (no machines). It was made with railroad ties, bridge timbers and thick hardwood planks. There was a 20-foot wide hardwood swinging gate.
The far end tapered to a narrow shoot so only one Hereford could slowly go through at a time. This was to trim hoofs, clean and bandage any injuries. Also, to give shots when needed and to load or unload the Herefords.
The state notified us that they wanted to test all the cattle in a two-day operation. This was a new program. They had a shoot on wheels and a two-man crew. Their shoot had a steel end neck squeeze gate to hold the cow, and the sides were wood boards.
They put their shoot in our corral. One state man stayed by the squeeze gate to lock the cow in (or so he thought). The other state man helped me chase about 30 head into the corral and my dad shut the big hardwood gate. The state man and I were pretty far out in the field with the rest of the herd.
Well, two long-horns in the corral went into the shoot, one behind the other, but they didn't stop. The first one took out the entire steel squeeze gate. The state man ran for his life. The second, being so close, went through the side of the shoot. There was splintered boards and broken steel everywhere, and what a noise. All the cattle were worked up and excited by now.
Myself and the other state man were still in the field with the rest of the herd. One long horn was about 75 yards away from the state man. It put its head down and charged at him. Now it happened there was a 70-pound bale of hay laying about 15 feet from the man. None of us had noticed it before and it was the only one around. I shouted for him to "run," but he did not move. Those big horns speared and went right through the bale of hay. As the cow raised its head going past the state man, the end of the bale just brushed him. The cow ran off into the field, head held high and the bale on top. What a close call.
I said why didn't you run for cover. When the state man could finally talk he said that he was horrified, paralyzed, petrified and frozen to the spot. He also said they were never coming back again.
Well, thanks to that and the lone bale nobody noticed before, he was still alive. I wondered if he had any nightmares afterward.
Anyways, maybe another true cattle story in the future.

Click here to write an review and share your thoughts with others.
Reviewer: Melissa (Chesterfield, VA) 8/6/2013
Such a SEXY Dress!
This dress is an absolute jewel! I purchased it in Intense Blue and when I put this dress on, I was instantly in love. It's so flattering to my figure and the ruching hides EVERYTHING.
Reviewer: Melissa (corona, NY) 6/13/2013
I initially got a 2x because I read some of the reviews and I was worried about the size of the sleeves; however, I had to return it for a 1x, which was a PERFECT FIT. It has been a LONG TIME since I felt comfortable dressing up and this dress fit every curve beautifully. I felt amazing and it was worth every penny!
Reviewer: Larisa Morozkina (Nizhniy Novgorod, Nizhniy Novgorod) 1/23/2013
Good Idea, but Bad Execution
Absolutely not in compliance to a dimensional grid. I wear a 47-40-51 (1�). I have 3 kiyonna dresses, one from an old collection in a size 0x. My other Kiyonna dress is the "Sweetheart Knit Wrap Dress" in a size 1x. Both dresses fit well. However, this dress was very small and I felt that the fabric could have been better. Good idea, but bad execution.
Reviewer: Alma T (Oakland, Ca) 12/31/2012
Low Quality, Great Fit.
I am disappointed with the quality of the fabric. It's like the Halloween costume fabric, but the dress did fit great and felt comfortable. To me, this dress should not cost more than $40 just because of the fabric.
Reviewer: Amanda (Boston, MA) 12/6/2012
I ordered this dress in the teal color 1X and it fits wonderfully. I never dreamed I could wear a dress like this and feel good about how I look. I feel sexy and gorgeous in this dress.

Share Your Reflection

What I find fascinating about this graphic is that it
What I find fascinating about this graphic is that it looks vaguely like the southern (southwestern) border of the US...

I had the same thought.

Not completely on topic
I had the same thought.
Not completely on topic ,perhaps, but I am reminded of an insight I read (in Playboy magazine!) to the effect that the amount of freedom on the planet varied directionally, with California (the most Western) the most free, and China (the most Eastern) the least free. Europe, of course, was in the middle, not as free (or capitalistic) as the US but not as controlled (or socialistic) as Russia or China. Not sure exactly how evolution figures in all of this ... except to say that a friend in college was convinced that we would all meet in the middle one day.

I wanted to add a quotaton from Charles Darwin himself. (I have heard numerous reports in recent days all inquiring as to his religious beliefs, but not many (if any) quoted Darwin himself.) According to my Encyclopedia Britannica (remember those?), Darwin wrote the following in 1870: <<my a="" any="" as="" at="" beneficent="" blind="" can="" cannot="" chance,="" design="" design,="" details.="" evidence="" i="" in="" indeed="" is="" kind,="" look="" muddle.="" no="" of="" or="" result="" see="" simple="" the="" theology="" universe="" yet="">> The article tells us the following: "It was therefore not surprising that as he grew older Darwin abandoned the views of an orthodox member of the Church of England and became an agnostic."
From the same article: "In 1856 he had written <<what a="" and="" blundering,="" book="" chaplain="" clumsy,="" cruel="" devil's="" horribly="" low,="" might="" nature.="" of="" on="" the="" wasteful,="" works="" write="">>"
(But is this not the best of all possible worlds?)

Last week, I visited the brand-new ChicagoQuest school, created by the Institute of Play, as part of a Digital Media, Technology, Children and Schools conference organized by the Hechinger Institute. The learn-by-gaming charter school started this fall with sixth and seventh graders and will add a high school.
We walked into Code Worlds, which teaches both fractions and grammar as codes, and were greeted by a petite, very self-possessed seventh-grade girl, who explained the class was trying to restore rationality to the town of "Digiton" and compete to help farmer Al Gorithm calculate his harvest. A very articulate boy joined us, displayed his map of Digiton and joined the discussion.
The school tries to create narratives and games to motivate students to solve problems and think in terms of systems. Students — nearly all are black or Hispanic — range from way behind academically to advanced.
We tap into kids' natural curiosity by giving them a "mission" — a hugely complex task that they can not solve with their current knowledge and understandings. These missions create reasons to learn. Students actually do something with their learning, right on the spot. Our approach sparks the drive to think critically, to keep trying, to persist for solutions.
We also visited a lab where students can play physical games: I tried moving mirrors with a partner to direct a laser to the target. Allegedly, we were learning geometry and maybe physics. Maybe, maybe not.
I liked the school's very thoughtful curriculum design, which includes teaching the Common Core Standards and "21st century skills." Game designers work with teachers to come up with ideas, look at what works and redesign curriculum.
In every room, students were working — or faking it convincingly. One class was looking up an article on Aristotle on their iPads and taking notes. Not very gamey, but ambitious for middle schoolers. I told a girl that Aristotle had been Alexander the Great's tutor — and then explained Alexander the Great. She looked interested.
When we talked to four students — including the very articulate boy from Digiton — we asked what was different about ChicagoQuest. They didn't talk about the games or the technology. They said they liked the fact that there's no fighting or cursing. One girl said teachers at her old school had walked by a fight, pretending they didn't know it was happening. One of ChicagoQuest's "core values" is "Nobody walks by."
Other core values are: "Respect all things," "Be tenacious," "Win and lose with grace" and "Get in the game: Play fair, play fully."
Digital learning will prove itself — or adapt — argues Katie Salen, a game designer and DePaul professor who co-founded Quest to Learn two years ago in New York City.
. . . video-game companies develop products with users. They might issue an early version with kinks or bad ideas. And then it's a dynamic process where user feedback helps the designer improve a game. There's constant fixing. The video game is ever evolving.She'd like to see schools experiment with education software in the same way, rather than waiting for definitive proof that certain products work. The more students play with educational games, the more game designers can make them effective.
The MacArthur Foundation folks, who are providing most of the money, sounded offended by questions about effectiveness. I agree it's too soon to tell, but it's a valid question. (Reading and math scores for the New York Quest school are average for sixth graders and above average for seventh graders.)

Great advice!
I felt like Dr. Lyn was talking directly to me…like she is my best friend and she really cares about me!
This book really helped me get over a guy I recently broke up with and reinforced that he was not the right person for me. I am ready to move on and feel much more empowered to find a better man!

Here in England, a large (13.5") pizza from Dominos is £15.99/$24.85.Now when we think about the gulf in quality between a UPN pizza and a Dominos, I think Anthony is amazingly good value. BTW, I was meaning that a UPN pizza was better! Paul
Those pies look great especially the filetti.
Really? You don't think the crust looks a little off? The volume looks a bit low. I don't think anyone ever opens with flawless pies and I'm sure he'll work out the kinks, but I do think he's got some kinks to work out.
Scott, I was under the impression that Anthony was still using the old dough technique. Is he using that in conjunction with wild yeast?I'm only an hour a way, can't wait to try it out. I will report back with some pizza pics.

Welcome to the Death and Taxes Official Team Thread.
Who we are:
We are a new team as far as title, but not as playing goes. All of our members have years of experience and look forward to play against the best that our state has to offer. Our team is a tightly knit group of friends that have played for over a decade, and the better part of twenty years for some. Most of our play takes place on scenario fields, but we are now switching gears to become a more Speedball oriented team. We are not professionals by any means, but our willingness to learn and consistently improve our game puts our members in a similar mindset of just that. We treat other players and fields with respect and would like nothing more than the same in return.
Interested in:
- Practicing with other teams.
- Tournaments that are local to the tri-state area.
- Networking with other teams or players to improve on play.
- Still having fun while being competitive.
- Constructive criticism.
- Events
- Recruitment
- Issues regarding members of Death and Taxes
No interest in:
- Trolling / Harassment
- Drama
- Disrespect
If interested in a joint practice, please contact us via PM or email. We will work with other teams to schedule a date that works for both parties. Weekends are preferred but weekdays are always an option if a field is open for after work hours.
Thanks from all of us at Death and Taxes!

When I started writing publicly about my healing from sexual abuse, I did it to validate my own history and journey and to inspire hope in other survivors. It's been wonderfully empowering to record my triumphs and to share the process with thousands of fellow journeyers.
However, being so public about such intimate feelings and experiences has been costly. For the most part, I count it a bargain compared with the expense of silence, but that resolve isn't always very convenient or comfortable.
One of the recent costs for being so vocal is a lawsuit from my parents. They are suing me for defamation of character and emotional distress. Through their case, they want to shut down OSA and silence my voice.
In the minds of my parents, they are the victims; I am the abuser.

- All paintball tanks must be tested for safety every 3 or 5 years. The only exception to this are aluminum tanks less than 2-inches in diameter and under 2-feet long.
- All fiber-wrapped tanks expire in 15 years from when they were manufactured, regardless of the last hydro test date.
- Tanks are considered generally safe as long as the hydro test is current and there are no unraveled/exposed/damaged fibers sticking out.
How to read a Hydro label on a fiber-wrapped tank
TC-SU #: This is the certification for use in Canada. If your tank doesn't have it, you can't legally use it in Canada.
DOT-E or DOT-SP #: This is the USA cert license number. You can google that whole thing "DOT-E #####" and get the full document that tells you how often your tank needs to be retested. For most tanks in the USA it's every 5 years. DOT-E 9634 is one example of a tank that requires testing every 3 years until it's 15-years old and then should be thrown away.
## © ##: This is month and year that the tank was manufactured. For the purposes of testing and expiration dates, the Department of Transportation counts from the first of the month. In the example above, this tank will be unusable after January 1, 2019.
Hydro recertification label
## [X] ##: This is the month and year that the tank was last hydro tested. The numbers in the middle are the D.O.T. certification of the place that did the test for you. Every hydro tester has their own unique code. This tank was tested at Acme Fire Extinguisher Company in Oakland, CA in June 2008.
Reply below with a DOT-E number and I'll dig up who makes your cylinder, and how often it should be tested.

Make Sure Your Tenants Are Safe
If you're worried about vandalism or theft in your building, the solution could be as simple as recording video from your front door. Simply replace your current peephole with this camera, and always have a record of what's going on outside your door.
Why the Peephole Cam?
No visible wires from the door's exterior, so the camera won't look suspicious
Records video in high and low light situations
Wide-angle lens makes it easy to capture footage of a corridor
On the inside of the door, connect this full-color, wide-angle camera to a DVR or TV and see exactly what's going on outside. No one on the outside will suspect that your peephole is different than any other standard peepholes because there are no wires showing on the outside.

2010 FIVB Women's World Championship Pools Set
Bill Kauffman
Manager, Media Relations and Publications
Phone: 719-228-6800
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Nov. 24, 2009) – The U.S. Women's National Volleyball Team was placed into Pool C of the 2010 FIVB Women's World Championship Tournament that will be held Oct. 29 to Nov. 14 in various Japanese cities.
Team USA, ranked second in the world by the FIVB, joins NORCECA rival and No. 5 Cuba to headline Pool C being held Oct. 29 to Nov. 3 at Matsumoto, Japan. Other teams participating in Pool C are No. Germany, No. 13 Kazakhstan, No. 17 Thailand and No. 39 Croatia. The order of matches for the Americans will be Thailand on Oct. 29, Croatia on Oct. 30, Germany on Oct. 31, Kazakhstan on Nov. 2 and Cuba on Nov. 3.
"Pool C is a strong group to contend against - as are all of the teams who have earned the right to compete in the World Championship," U.S. Women's National Team Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "We're excited to compete in this event and build on the foundation we established in 2009. While we hope to do well in this tournament, our initial focus and goal is to get out of our pool and qualify for the next round of competition."
Logo courtesy of FIVB A total of 24 countries were drawn across four pools for the final round of the 16th edition of the FIVB Women's World Championship, which will be held in six venues across five Japanese cities (Tokyo, Nagoya, Hamamatsu, Matsumoto and Osaka). The FIVB World Championship is held every four years in the second year of the Olympic quadrennial.
Pool A consists of host and seventh-ranked Japan, No. 8 Serbia, No. 9 Poland, No. 16 Peru, No. 19 Algeria and No. 30 Costa Rica. The six teams will play their matches in Tokyo.
Brazil, the 2008 Olympic Games champion, heads Pool B that includes 2009 FIVB Grand Champions Cup winner Italy. Brazil is the No. 1 team in the world, while Italy is ranked No. 5. Other countries in Pool B are No. 10 Netherlands, No. 15 Kenya, No. 18 Puerto Rico and No. 36 Czech Republic. All Pool B matches will be played at Hamamatsu.
Pool D is made up of No. 3 China, No. 4 and 2006 FIVB World Championship winner Russia, No. 12 Korea, No. 14 Dominican Republic, No. 20 Turkey and No. 23 Canada. The group will play its set of round-robin matches at Osaka.
The top four teams from Pool A and Pool D advance to Pool E, while the top four teams in Pool B and Pool C will comprise Pool F in the second round. The second round is a single round-robin format involving teams from opposing first-round pools for a total of four matches. The results and points obtained by countries in the first round carryover to the second round. The seventh- and eighth-ranked teams at the conclusion of Pool E and Pool F are eliminated from the tournament, while the remaining 12 teams advance to the semifinals for final classification.
The top two teams in each second-round pool advance to the gold-medal bracket, while the third-and fourth-place teams will battle for places five through eight. The playoff round for 9-12 will include the fifth- and sixth-place teams from the second round.
A record-breaking number of nations (101) participated in the year-long qualifying process before 22 countries joined hosts Japan and defending champions Russia in the final round. The host nation and the first 11 teams in the world ranking were automatically placed according to the serpentine system with the following 12 teams drawn into pools.
The U.S. qualified for the 2010 FIVB Women's World Championship by winning the NORCECA third-round qualification tournament held in Orlando July 6-8, 2009. The Americans topped Costa Rica, Netherlands Antilles and Barbados in the four-team round-robin event.
In the previous FIVB World Championship, the U.S. finished in ninth place out of the 24-team field. Russia won the gold medal, while Brazil captured the silver. Serbia and Montenegro earned the bronze medal.

My wifes grandfather, a man near and dear to my heart, passed away this weekend. Coming home from the wake tonight, an enormous deer darted out in front of my wifes Honda Pliot, which I was driving, and slammed into us.
We got lucky as hell.
I had just got off the 615 exit on 90, and made a left towards my home. Four lane road, I was in the left of the two lanes heading north.
I saw the antlers literally a split second before impact, and had no time to react. The deer smashed into the front passenger side of the SUV, and almost hit a lady who was probably 6-7 car lenghts behind me in the right (curb) lane.
The Pilot took the impact beautifully. When we got it, the salesman trotted out all these crash test stats ... which I brushed off as BS to help sell the vehicle. Then I saw a Dateline report that confirmed it. Despite completely destroying the whole front right corner of the SUV, it took the impact very well. I swerved left, but not much, and caught myself. We never even stopped.
We called the cops from my wifes cell, then continued home, which was just another mile or two down the road. They met us there about 10 minutes after we got home. The deer was fucking gone! Survived I guess. Or limped elsewhere to its death. Blood all over the windshield.
SUV probably has 4-5k in damage, at least. We couldn't open the glove. Front hood bent up, front passenger side corner destroyed, quarter panel damaged bad. Insurance should cover all of it minus a small deductible.
Even though we weren't hurt, was lucky to not have my 11 month old son in the car. He was staying at my moms tonight since we gotta go back for the service tomorrow. Had we been in my little Mitsubishi Diamante, it would have been ugly. Nearly all the impact damage was waist high or higher ... which means that sunamabitch woulda been in the windshield were we comandeering my little rice burner.
Jesus H ... what a friggin day.
This bottle of Black Opal Cabernet has no chance tonight.

Mr. Speaker, last April our three year old son was diagnosed with cancer and I just wanted to take a moment to thank my colleagues, my staff and my constituents for all their warm thoughts and prayers. It has been a great encouragement to all of us at home.
I want to say that as our son is battling leukemia there are many others that have battled cancer in this place.
I want to give a special thank you to the doctors, nurses and staff at the Children's Hospital in B.C., especially to Dr. Jeff Davis, Jenny Parkes and also to Dr. Finch in Mission. We know that at times like this it is family that means the most. I want to thank all my colleagues for their support during this really rough time.
I also want to encourage all of us to pull together. We celebrated the Terry Fox Run and the Run for the Cure which are very important things and we know that by working together cancer can be beaten.

Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the constituents of Mount Royal, for whom Pierre Elliott Trudeau will always be the most distinguished and esteemed MP, may I express my condolences to the Trudeau family at this moment of private and public mourning.
Pierre Elliott Trudeau, whom I knew for some 40 years as colleague, confrere and friend, was a unique combination of intellect, integrity, passion, wit and commitment. But the thing I remember most, and what I believe touched Canadians the most, was his personal courage and his moral courage inspired by a vision not only of who we were but what we might aspire to be.
It was this vision and the courageous pursuit of this vision that found expression in an enduring legacy of a more just society whose centrepiece is the charter of rights and freedoms and the values that underpin it.
While we mourn the passing of Canada's greatest statesman and citizen of the world, let us celebrate and be inspired by the heroic life he lived.

Mr. Speaker, on this, World Teachers' Day, I wish to pay tribute to those professionals who play a fundamental role in the development of any society.
By transmitting knowledge and values to our young people, they are helping to shape the Quebec of the future and, by providing upgrading for an increasingly large adult clientele, they are contributing to the vigour of our economy.
Because teachers guide and motivate student learning, their commitment and passion for knowledge have marked many of us.
I wish to underscore the government of Quebec's current campaign to promote education, the teaching profession and occupational and technical training. "The spark that lights a lifetime of learning" is the theme of this televised campaign, which was launched on September 21 and will last three years.
The Bloc Quebecois wishes to express its gratitude to teachers, who are on the front lines battling against ignorance and complacency.

Jim Pankiw Saskatoon—Humboldt, SK
Mr. Speaker, we have now endured seven years of Liberal waste and mismanagement. However, I have good news. The Canadian Alliance has a plan to pay down our national debt and to lower taxes for everyone. We will end tax discrimination against single income families and replace the current Liberal tax system which penalizes hard work and overtime.
Under the Canadian Alliance plan, everyone will receive a basic personal deduction of $10,000 including a $3,000 deduction per child. A family of four under the current regressive Liberal tax plan starts paying tax at an income of only $16,000. Under the Canadian Alliance plan, a family of four would not start paying income tax until its income exceeded $26,000, and then only at the single rate of 17%.
In light of this very simplified and fair tax plan, Mr. Speaker, perhaps you yourself will join with millions of other Canadians in the next election and vote for the Canadian Alliance.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Canadian teachers on this World Teachers' Day, the 300,000 teachers who work hard to expand the horizons of their students to ensure they are equipped to succeed in a changing world. Thanks to teachers, Canada prides itself on having one of the best public education systems in the world.
To acknowledge the invaluable contribution teachers make, Canada has initiated the Prime Minister's Awards for Teaching Excellence and is proud to be partnering with the Canadian Teachers' Federation in the new sharing teaching excellence pilot program, which also includes recipients of the former CTF Roy C. Hill awards program.
We are honoured to have with us today in Ottawa the president of the Canadian Teachers' Federation, Marilies Rettig and six award recipients: Linda Dickson, Doreen Casserly, Dalia Naujokaitis, Trudy Bradley, Ralph Carney, and Erica McCarthy.
I am certain that members of the House know a teacher who has made a difference in their lives. I invite the members to join me in thanking all of them on this World Teachers' Day.
World Women's March

Michelle Dockrill Bras D'Or, NS
Mr. Speaker, October 15 is the World Women's March. This is an opportunity for women all over the world to gather together and continue to struggle for equality in society.
It is very unfortunate that we still have to struggle for equality. Violence against women is still a reality today. Women are still being attacked, abused, beaten, and even murdered. Just last night an advocate on the issue of violence against women herself became a victim. Sally McIntyre, an Ontario representative for the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, was attacked by her husband.
This leads me to ask just how this can happen in this country. We have a government that flaunts Canada as being the best country in which to live. But for whom? Certainly not women.
The government says that it is committed to the rights of women. The Prime Minister loves to remind us of how many women he has appointed to cabinet and the Senate. Does this help women who are continually being beaten? The answer is simple. It does not.
Canadian women call upon the government to begin working with us and not against us.

Caroline St-Hilaire Longueuil, QC
Mr. Speaker, all women in Quebec and in Canada know that the Liberal government is centralizing and arrogant.
The Minister of Canadian Heritage has no trouble coming up with $12 million to promote Canadian unity, but the Secretary of State for the Status of Women prefers defending her government to defending women.
Even though everyone knows that one woman in five in Canada is poor, we did not see her defending pay equity or calling for the changes to EI that women wanted.
The Minister of Human Resources Development may remain oblivious to female workers' concerns, but the Prime Minister does not hesitate to impose his parental leave on the families and women of Quebec and thus dismiss their demands.
This government's track record is not one that favours women. The World March of Women should give members opposite a chance to understand what it means to live in the real world.

Mr. Speaker, tonight the reform alliance releases its election platform and early reports show that one thing is clear. It plans to stick it to Atlantic Canada.
The Alliance is committed to ending all funding for ACOA, privatizing CBC television, privatizing VIA Rail, slashing the budget of HRDC, eliminating Technology Partnerships Canada, gutting the employment insurance system, removing mechanisms for the federal government to enforce the principles of the Canada Health Act and eliminating subsidies for farmers and fishers. All of this is expected to be in the Alliance's platform to be unveiled tonight.
Who wrote the Atlantic Canada section of this brutal platform? John Mykytyshyn. With this kind of platform, the Alliance will get exactly what it got in the last election in Atlantic Canada; zip.

Mark Muise West Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Justice does not get it. Her long gun registry is nothing but a colossal failure. Rather than admit her government's mistake, she is spending millions trying to convince Canadians that this new registry will somehow reduce crime.
Is it not ironic that the Minister of Justice televised ads portraying two hunters sitting at a bar discussing the long gun registry? I am sure her intent was not to encourage drinking and hunting, however, one cannot help but notice the irony.
Once a strong advocate for the new long gun registry, the Canadian Police Association is now withholding its support until it sees indications that the registry will not siphon away the much needed resources from enforcement agencies.
Let us face it. This registry will not have any impact on reducing crime in the country. Those intent on committing crime will not register their firearms. Therefore, what purpose is this long gun registry serving? At present it is only serving to save face for a government that is totally out of touch with millions of law-abiding Canadian gun owners.
Our party is committed to cancelling—

Judy Sgro York West, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Alliance proposes a flat tax which would have exactly the opposite effect of a fair and progressive tax system.
Under this plan, the higher the income, the bigger the tax break. For example, a taxpayer earning $30,000 would receive a tax reduction of about $600, while another taxpayer earning $200,000 would receive a break of over $22,000. That is not fair.
The Liberal government believes tax cuts must benefit all Canadians, but first they must benefit those who need it the most: low and middle income Canadians and families. Our five year plan will reduce personal income taxes by an average of 15%. Combined with cuts in the last three budgets, annual personal income tax reductions total 22%, and for families with children, at least 30%. That is a fair and equitable approach to income tax reform.

Charles Caccia Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, four years ago the auditor general warned that contamination at abandoned mines is a serious problem. There are 25,000 abandoned mines exposed to air and water. The waste rock is washed into the ground and eventually reaches groundwater.
The environment minister began addressing this problem at abandoned mine sites by committing $38 million to help clean up the Sydney tar ponds. The estimated cost of cleaning up contaminated sites on federal lands alone is $2 billion. This is a bill the mining industry should pay, but it is left to the government to find funds to deal with the pollution at abandoned mines.
I urge the Minister of Finance to allocate in the next budget funds for cleanup and also to propose a plan so that from now on mining companies will be responsible for the environmentally sound closing of mines.

Two U.S. Beach Teams to Play Sunday in Rome
| April Ross, right, receives the ball as Jennifer Kessy gets ready to make a play on June 22 in Rome.
B.J. Hoeptner Evans, Manager, Communications, Phone: (719) 228-6800, E-Mail: email@example.com
USAV Facebook - @USA_Volleyball - @USAV Beach
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (June 22, 2013) – The U.S. women's team of April Ross and Jennifer Kessy will play in the finals at the FIVB Beach Volleyball Rome Grand Slam on Sunday, while the U.S. men's teams of Phil Dalhausser and Sean Rosenthal has advanced to the semifinals.
Both U.S. teams will play teams from Brazil in their matches on Sunday.
Ross (Costa Mesa, Calif.) and Kessy (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.), seeded No. 7, will go up against Brazil's No. 5 Talita Da Rocha Antunes and Taiana Lima for the women's gold medal.
"We're hoping it is gold," Kessy said in an FIVB press release. "We definitely love this place. The sand works in our favor; it is a little deep and it was hot this week. I think it just feels very special here. We just like it in Rome, whatever the weather.
"They (Talita and Lima) are playing amazing. We played them in Shanghai in a close three-setter and didn't end up on top in that one. We are going to watch a ton of video and we owe them one."
Dalhausser (Ormond Beach, Fla.) and Rosenthal (Redondo Beach, Calif.), seeded No. 3, will play Brazil's No. 2 Pedro Solberg Salgado and Bruno Oscar Schmidt in the men's semifinals. Latvia's No. 6 Janis Smedins and Aleksandrs Samoilovs will face Brazil's No. 7 Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego in the other men's semifinal.
Dalhausser and Rosenthal advanced to the semifinals with two victories on Saturday. In the second round, the U.S. pair beat Kazakhstan's No. 15 Alexey Sidorenko and Alexandr Dyachenko, 21-17, 21-18 in 44 minutes.
In the quarterfinals, Dalhausser and Rosenthal topped Austria's No. 11 Clemens Doppler and Alexander Horst, 21-19, 21-18 in 44 minutes.
Ross and Kessy, seeded No. 7, defeated Italy's No. 1 seeded Greta Cicolari and Marta Menegatti in Saturday's quarterfinals, 21-11, 21-8 in 31 minutes. In the semifinals, Ross and Kessy beat Brazil's No. 11 Liliane Maestrini and Barbara Seixas De Freitas, 21-19, 10-21, 15-13 in 47 minutes.
The U.S team of Jake Gibb (Bountiful, Utah) and Casey Patterson (Van Nuys, Calif.), seeded No. 4, were eliminated from the tournament on Saturday after falling to Brazil's No. 7 Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego in the second round, 21-18, 22-20 in 39 minutes.

The men's fencing squad claimed its 42nd Ivy League Championship on Sunday.
The Light Blue will share the title—its first since 2008—with Harvard, as both teams went 4-1 on the weekend. The men clinched the title after a narrow win over Yale early Sunday afternoon. But the critical moment of the tournament for Columbia came against the reigning champion Crimson earlier in the day.
The Lions were down 13-12 with two points still undecided against, but managed to win both to secure the 14-13 win. Sophomore épéeist Brian Ro and sophomore foilist Harry Bergman clinched the Lions' victory in simultaneous touches in two bouts on adjoining mats. Columbia head coach Michael Aufrichtig called the victory the "single most favorite sports moment of my life."
"We were 13-12, it was 4-4 on both sides, and we won both," Aufrichtig said. "That was really exciting. It trumps everything."
That victory came on the heels of a similar 14-13 decision against Harvard for the women's team, but in which Columbia came out on the losing end.
The women's team one-point loss to the Crimson came en route to a 4-2 record and a third-place finish. Despite going a perfect 3-0 against Penn, Cornell, and Brown on Saturday, the Light Blue suffered a serious blow when Olympian Nzingha Prescod was forced to the sidelines due to an injury on the first day of the tournament.
Aufrichtig said he expects the junior foilist to fully recover within the next few weeks, but her absence required the Lions to use a replacement—first-year Sara Taffel.
"I was definitely really nervous, but I was also really excited because I wanted to prove myself and my abilities," Taffel said. "It was unfortunate that Nzingha couldn't fence, but it was an awesome opportunity for me to step in and fence really hard schools, and I was happy that I performed the way that I did."
Despite the sudden change, Taffel went 15-2 over the weekend, posting the second-best record for a foilist on the women's side. Her performance granted her a position on the first-team All-Ivy squad, along with Light Blue sophomore foilist Margaret Lu.
Following the tight Harvard contests, both squads were able to easily conquer Yale, as each picked up a 19-8 triumph over the Bulldogs.
But the Lions had yet to face the weekend's biggest challenge—Princeton.
For the women, defeating No. 1 Princeton, which had not lost a match in over a year, was the only way Columbia would have had a shot at the title. But the Light Blue fell to the Tigers, 19-8, leaving the Lions in third place, behind Harvard and Princeton.
Columbia's men were also unable to dispatch the Tigers, missing a chance at an outright title.
The Lions and Tigers went back and forth in the race for the 14th team point. Sophomore épéeist Jake Hoyle fell in a narrow 4-5 defeat as the score shifted to 13-12 in favor of Princeton. Then, in a grueling final bout, sophomore foilist Adam Mathieu lost to give the Lions their first and only loss of the weekend.
While the men's team initially appeared disheartened from the loss, the reality of their being Ivy League champions returned to the atmosphere as the awards ceremony approached. Ro, who was named first-team All-Ivy, said he realized the importance of the Lions' accomplishments.
"Since we came so close last year, but we didn't win, I think this is a big step up. But it's still hard that we have to share the title," Ro said, after apologizing for losing his voice cheering on his teammates. "I'm glad I'm here and that I'm able to represent my school with all of my really close friends who are also fencers. It's really an honor."
Columbia sophomore sabrist Geoffrey Loss was named the Most Outstanding Performer on the men's side. Loss tied for the best record among male sabrists at the tournament—going 12-3 over the weekend.
The Columbia fencers will continue into individual competition following Ivies. Several members from the men's team will compete at the Junior Olympics next week. The team will then get back together next month for the NCAA Regional Championships in Wellesley, Mass.

Book co-written with his daughter reveals financial advice from both sides of the family fence.
Dave Ramsey knew he was in for quite a ride with his youngest daughter. The financial guru remembers a time when Rachel was about 4 years old and he had given her some kind of instruction she clearly didn�t want to hear. She faced him, hands defiantly on her little hips, and he felt her eyes burning a hole right through him. He smiles about it now as he thinks about how Rachel�s independent spirit helped her grow into a magnetic, vibrant leader in his company, and an ally in his work to educate people about money. Today, the father and daughter are teammates sharing their know-how from both sides of the family fence in their new book �Smart Money, Smart Kids.� �Rachel�s got a lot of personality,� Ramsey says. �She�s not a shrinking violet. She was that way as a kid, too. We had to teach her to behave, but also not break her spirit in the process. She and I have always been a lot alike.� Born at a turning point Rachel, now 25, was born to Dave and wife Sharon at one of the lowest points of her father�s life, but also at a turning point. He�d lost everything he�d built in real estate to a market downturn and had to declare bankruptcy. That twist of fate led Ramsey to his calling, helping people understand money and�managing their finances. Eventually, he rebuilt his company�into a 400-employee media franchise in Franklin, Tennessee, that now incorporates a successful radio show, several best-selling books, and money-management events. Rachel, who uses her married last name of Cruze, learned valuable lessons during those years of rebuilding. �I was born six months before they went bankrupt, literally at the bottom of everything,� she recalls. �I remember going to consignment sales to buy clothes, garage sales, camping vacations, and us kids wanting, but not being able, to go out to eat.� Even so, growing up Ramsey wasn�t as strict as some might expect. �I think people envision these nightly summits in our house talking about mutual funds, and that we were like little money soldiers marching around the house,� Cruze says. �But it wasn�t this crazy, intense part of our family like some people expect.� Early lessons As youngsters, Cruze and her brother and sister weren�t given money, but had to earn it. As they grew, so did their financial responsibilities. �At 15 in the Ramsey family, you get your own checking account,� she says. �We were in charge of budgeting it. In just three months, I had bounced checks, and dad made me go down to the bank�and apologize for �lying.� And I haven�t bounced a check since.� Ramsey used weekly drives to the shopping mall with Cruze and her friends as teaching opportunities, much to his daughter�s chagrin. �I�d volunteer to drive them because that way I could preach at �em the whole way,� Ramsey recalls. �I�d tell them getting out, �While you�re in there, pick me up a box of happiness�you�re in there every weekend looking for it, I know it�s in there somewhere! Rachel would go �Oh, Dad.� and they�d say, �Your dad�s so weird!� So I got to preach my sermon and embarrass a teenager!� At 15, Cruze began traveling to her father�s Total Money Makeover events and speaking publicly about her own experiences with finances. Today, she speaks to high school and college audiences about how they can better handle their money and plan their financial futures. A �gimme� world Ramsey�s pride at his daughter�s achievements is what inspired the new financial guide, penned to help parents navigate today�s �gimme� world that encourages rampant consumerism in children. �As Rachel came into the business, this proud dad started hearing wonderful things being said about her and thought, �Maybe we need to talk about how that happens, from both the kid�s and the dad�s perspective,� he says. The two agree on their favorite chapter in the book, �Contentment.� Keeping your child�s desires and expectations in check is key. �A hard thing to teach is being content,� Cruze says. �That principle�s not being grasped by my generation, or our culture. You always want bigger and better. Facebook is like window shopping: Seeing peers� houses, cars, the best of the best, and you�re expecting that as well.� �And the more television they watch, the more they get the gimmes,� Ramsey adds. �Advertising creates discontentment. And it goes from Cabbage Patch Dolls to iPhones and cars in an eye blink. Children are going to do what you do. You can�t teach your kid to save if you don�t save, or give if you don�t give, and they have to see you doing it, and know why.� �It�s about changing your family tree,� Cruze says. �If parents do this and kids see it, your family will forever be changed. Money is such a stress point for so many people. But a parent giving their child the gift of how to interact with money in life is such a blessing.� This article originally appeared as on American Profile

But something tells me you already know that Ryan.
I'm gonna defer commenting on that until people start calling me an idiot for helping spread the universe's most egregious pizza myth.(By the way, what does egregious mean?)
Look'in real good there Dino! Have you ever heard of the trick where you leave out the cutter wheel to get a courser grind?One of our members,"Meatballs", Ron is a home beer brewer and also knows his stuff about grinding meat. Check Cory's off topic hamburger grinding thread if you'd like....
Thanks for the tip and suggestions. I made that batch by myself. Talk about spinning plates
Tender Quick? Why not just regular salt? Italian sausage isn't usually cured, from what I understand, so why go the nitrates route? How does it differ?Thanks,Garvey
I am really curios about this stuff....particularly this "characteristic flavor" aspect you have mention several times.Is this type of curing salt used in all commercial sausage?
Chicago's Italian sausage is well known for it's high fennel content. The only sausage maker that I know of in Chicago that does not use a lot of fennel is Bobaks.
Curious why you use Mortons Tender Quick? I've never seen a fresh sausage that used nitrates and nitrites. Doesn't really seem neccesary from a preserving point with fresh, but maybe it would do something with taste and color.jb
For most Chicago thin crust pizzas, I'd agree about the fennel, but deep dish has always been a different animal.If you're trying to match the taste of a Uno's or Malnati's, leave out the fennel.I'm happy with it either way, and prefer italian sausage with fennel on thin crust.There's a Malnati's Sausage thread here: http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=12222.0
Creating fresh sausage also creates the kind of anaerobic environment food poisoning pathogens thrive in. Most of us make more sausage than is needed for a single pizza, so storing it IS an issue. Besides, gray sausage is unappealing.Read this: http://www.extension.umn.edu/distribution/nutrition/DJ0974.html
It's my understanding that unless your storing/curing/smoking the sausage at temps between 40 and 140, nitrates and nitrites are not needed for preservation. The nitrites will certainly help keep the pink color, but I am not aware of the nitrates doing anything. Always looking to learn. How are you storing your sausage?Thanks,jb
I think that what jb, and myself included, are interested in is whether we need to be adding more chemicals to home made sausage if it is going straight into a freezer.Your reference article(thanks) seems to be addressing only other types of meat.
Read the modified post above Bob.
All I am trying to get at is when you are freezing the sausage right away do you need the chemicals? I'm not freezing bad meat but I seem to remember something said on this forum(maybe Peter) that you can possibly have some bacteria in the meat that you are unable to taste/tell while it is still fresh(your cooked taste sample) and then even though you freeze it it does not stop the bad stuff from still growing.
spores, which subsequently germinate, resulting in production of toxin and the symptoms of botulism.Proper refrigeration at temperatures below 3 °C (38 °F) retards the growth of Clostridium botulinum. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botulinum_toxin.Would love to hear what Peter thinks on this as he is a very learned man.jb

Recently I was reminded of a method for measuring very small amounts of yeast. The method involves diluting 1g of yeast in 99g of water and then using some of that dilution in the dough. My question is, if one wanted to save the diluted unused solution, how long would it be active, and good to use in future doughs?

"Let me begin by expressing on my own behalf and on behalf of the European Commission my congratulations to Jean-Claude Juncker on his nomination by the European Council as President-designate. I have known Jean-Claude Juncker for more than 20 years. We have been working in very many capacities together and I really believe that he is a committed European and a political leader with exceptional experience. Myself and the Commission will do everything possible in the coming months to assure a smooth transition between this Commission and the next one."
The President continued by saying that the European Council had "also given a clear direction for the policy agenda for the years ahead, so fulfilling the norm inscribed in the article 15 of the Treaty. I believe the strategic priorities adopted are the right ones. They are important because it is critically important that the three institutions, the Council, the European Parliament and the Commission have a common understanding of the challenges ahead.
We have discussed particularly today what is related to growth and jobs. We believe that is the best way to respond to the concerns express by our citizens, to have concrete results for growth and for jobs. I'm therefore pleased that the European Council concluded successfully the so-called European semester. Our European economic governance, a partnership between European institutions and national governments that precisely are a new expression of joint commitment to adopt together the economic issues.
The European Council has generally endorsed the country specific recommendations put forward by the European Commission. Now, full national ownership is essential if we want to be successful. I welcome the discussion and the confirmation of the commitment of all the leaders of the European Council to our fiscal rules, stability and growth pact. This is the cornerstone of economic governance in Europe. Those rules are precisely designed for boosting growth and jobs, both today and tomorrow, and where necessary they will have the flexibility to take into account the economic situation of the country concerned. "
