Skip to comments.Clinic: Cancer Patient Who Wrote to Obama Will Not Lose Home, May Get Aid
Posted on 03/16/2010 11:12:36 AM PDT by Nachum
Natoma Canfield, the cancer-stricken woman who has become a centerpiece of President Obama's push for health care reform, will not lose her home over her medical bills and will probably qualify for financial aid, a top official at the Cleveland medical center treating her told FoxNews.com.
Natoma Canfield, the cancer-stricken woman who has become a centerpiece of President Obama's push for health care reform, will not lose her home over her medical bills and will probably qualify for financial aid, a top official at the Cleveland medical center treating her told FoxNews.com.
Though Canfield's sister Connie Anderson said her sibling is afraid she'll lose her house and Obama warned at an Ohio rally Monday that the patient is "racked with worry" about the cost of tests and treatment, she is already being screened for financial help.
Could she not qualify for Medicaid?
There's another vote for Obambi
so how much TARP money is left???
Sounds like Bummer made some phone calls and some welfare agencies got on the ball.
Hard to tell for sure, but it sounds like the existing system was working fine for her. She wasn't going to lose her home, but she was worried about the possibility. Worried for nothing, perhaps. Now we learn that she is not in danger of losing her home — but it's not clear to me that anything suddenly occurred (i.e. Obama's spotlight did not result in any sort of good Samaritan rescue). Basically, she was a prop. A misleading prop.
The Democrats love to tell sad stories about people without insurance (who apparently don't know that the law forbids hospitals to deny them treatment, with or without insurance), but what the Democrats don't say is how their reform bill would protect them. They operate on the unproven premise that they have the remedy. WHY WON'T THEY TALK ABOUT WHAT'S IN THE BILL? Is it because they know the answers aren't there, or is it because they don't know what's in it at all?
BHO is focusing on cancer to scare people. The tonsillitis and diabetes wasn't scary enough and he showed his ignorance discussing those and also his ignorance re: asthma.
Boy, Oboma picked the wong "victim" this time! What an as$.
The "messiah" has touched one of his own./S
why would she have a mortgage on a house she has lived in for 50 years?
Depending on who you ask, negotiations are ongoing or not ongoing. A position statement given five minutes ago may no longer be valid in this crazy Congress.
Nancy-poo is basically telling the country to trust her and Harry, they'll "do the right thing" even if they can't say what the right thing is. This might pass muster if you're regulating the commerce in snapping turtles, but this is our bodies and minds she's talking about. Get it wrong and you hurt us from the word go. Sorry, after the bounteous load of BS you've heaped on us, we don't even trust them to stick a tongue depressor in our mouth and look at our throat. They might not remember to use a new one.
This is not my field of expertise...not by a long shot. So maybe I am missing something obvious, but here is a portion of her letter to 0bama, with facts I find incomprehensible:
"Last year (2009) my insurance premium was increased over 25% even though I increased my deductible and out of pocket to the highest limits available. I paid out over $6075.24 in premiums, $2415.26 for medical care, $225 in co-pays and $1500 for prescriptions. I never reached my deductible of $2500 so the insurance company only paid out a total $935.32 to my providers.
I must repeat, in 2009 my insurance company received $6075.24 in premiums and paid out only $935.32!"
Would it not be more economical to have put that $6075.24 into some other account, where it would grow or be available for medical expenses? Would the expenses not have been even less if she'd been completely self-pay? (Every nurse I've ever discussed it with, said there's a huge discount for cash on the barrelhead.)
Most people will see it as Bummer having shaken things loose. The hospital isn't going to crow about its program for understandable reasons.
load of BS you've heaped on us => load of BS they've heaped on us
Maybe she took out a Second Mortgage, or maybe she's in danger of losing her house for non payment of Property Taxes?
Maybe she took out a Second Mortgage, or maybe she's in danger of losing her house for non payment of Property Taxes?
Hell, that's not much to pay for one vote.
Please pardon me if this is tangential (I'm taking the above as your comment, not the woman's comment) but if you have no applicable insurance and go in to a doctor's office and have to pay retail, how do you go about getting this "cash" discount when the bookkeeper isn't there and they just send you a bill? I've seen insurance benefit statements and they have tremendous leverage upon providers, sometimes getting them to settle for maybe a third of their retail prices.
Yeah, I suspect a home equity line of credit, being used to help pay the medical bills that her enrolled program doesn't pay.
We've paid thousands every month (from the first day we started working years ago) for health insurace and only used it for child birth. One of my kids came home with strep throat once, but we have a $200 deductable, so we paid cash for that anyway.
Had we banked our money, we'd be pretty rich right now.
Buy major medical and bank the rest. Most of the time you'll have to pay for other services with cash anyway. We learned that lesson the expensive way.
Where's the link?
In Desperation, Obama Exploits Cancer Patient Natoma Canfield to Sell Obamacare...and Lies About Her
If Obama and his minions say it, you know it's a lie.
Did she get her free Obama t-shirt yet?
I know that if you go into a nursing home, they can take your house and other assets - perhaps it is because of that.
She had insurance until she got tired of paying for it and dropped it. Then she expects a handout a couple of months later when she gets sick. I'm sorry she got cancer but she dropped her insurance, not me.
Under Oboma Death Care, they'd do the same thing, only they'd do it long before you got sick.
Nice. If she's at the Cleveland Clinic being treated for cancer she's probably getting just about the best care in the world!
That's the way insurance works. When you're well and not running up a lot of medical bills it seems like an expensive waste of money. Once you get sick and it starts paying you realize what it's worth. I have no sympathy for this woman;s financial plight. She caused it herself.
So she started voting for democrats because she knew they'd steal her neighbors pay check to pay for it.
Gosh. What a sweet lady. (/s)
Yet she's trying to make us look like the bad guys for not paying her bills for her.
How can anyone vote democrat and admit it in public?
"commander zero" says that's no good enough. The a$$ is a shameless liar.
Mm Mm Mm so Bummer did stick his pedal appendage in his os.
It would, if you could be sure you might never need the coverage. What insurance does is mitigate risk. You premiums are the reflection of the actual cost of claims payment for your type of policy, to your age group, in your location.
In most states (I am in California) health insurance companies are required to pay out a minimum of 70% of all premium collected in claims. The average profit margin for these companies are between 2 and 5%, which is in low. Medicare is less efficient, has much more fraud and waste, and pays your doctors, the hospitals and other providers much less than the actual cost of service.
Guess who has to make up the difference?
If you refinance to pull cash out every 5-10 years you never pay it off.
Exactly why obamacare will not work either.
Risk is expensive. Especially some particular risks. That's a free market operating, when you pay someone else to take your risk.
Republicans can destroy the health care reform bill right now if they will stress this message: By immediately raising taxes, this bill will sink our already struggling economy.
If media-prominent Republicans emphasize that single crystallized point, the political pressure on wavering Democrats in the House to vote no will increase enormously. Factually, the bill legislates massive new taxes on personal incomes and on medical devices & services: all of which go into effect immediately upon the bills passage. RAISING TAXES DURING A RECESSION will obviously hurt the economy. (Which is why Democrats have not dared attempt a tax increase despite controlling both chambers of congress.) So as unpopular as this ugly bill already is, it can be made much more so with simple clarion emphasis that: this bill is instant poison to our ailing economy.
The American people already hate what the bill stands for (the rotten substance of the bill) as well as they hate the corrupt process that has produced it. Now it needs to be branded into the national psyche that passage of the bill will straightaway cause personal financial harm to everyone. The ball game will be over if Republicans will simply apply immense pressure to that one crippling point. (They can use the new CBO numbers coming out on the reconciliation/fix-it bill as a fresh predicate to sound the alarm.)
Imagine variations of the following sound bites issued from someone like John Boehner: "If the Health Care Takeover Bill becomes law, our taxes instantly go up, and it will make one of the worst recessions weve ever experienced much worse. Everyone knows you dont raise taxes during a recession." Or how about: Theres something else Democrats arent telling the American people about this bill which is that it suddenly raises taxes in the middle of a recession. And you cant do that and expect the economy to recover. Did you feel that? Those were the scales tipping in the House. That was wavering House Democrats quietly sliding into the no category by the handful.
Note that this is not the same as arguing that the added deficits this bill is certain to generate will be unsustainable in the long run. Thats the Generational Theft message which has been lucidly conveyed and has resonated with the American public. Yes, severe concern has been raised about the future. But the argument that the bill will also do serious harm to TODAYS jobs and to TODAYS fragile economy has yet to be forcefully made. And this is the checkmate move that is needed during the endgame this week.
A very good prop. Kooch is changing his vote now?
Everyone having to deal with medical crises are racked with worry. It appears that this woman is no different, and most likely much better off, than many. She still has her house, her medical bills will be paid, she's being cared for in an excellent facility.
What I find exceedingly strange is that she says she never reached her deductible of 2k. Every single year (4) that I underwent cancer treatment I met my deductible in January.
Furthermore, she's being treated at the Cleveland Clinic, a place that she'd never make it to under Obamacare.
Good point. Wonder if Obamacare will allow us to call in the world's top brain surgeon from Duke for needed surgery just when he's about to go on a Canadian vacation ala Ted Kennedy?
They are covering this here in Cleveland. She was already assigned a financial counselor, the hospital she is being treated at doesn't place lien's on homes for bills (they could, but they choose not too), she most likely is eligible for medicaid (but had not sought assistance soon enough).
Basically it sounds to me she didn't know how to navigate the government bureaucracy to get the help she needed. The hospital is the one that actually provided her with the counseling and advocate she needed. She will need to apply for SS disability in order to get medicaid.
If anything she demonstrates the already existing difficulty in dealing with the government systems.
Good point.
I pay cash on the day of services. Discount 60%. No bill sent to my home. All offices I've ever been to are able to take my payment that day. General practitioner, hospital, even the surgery center was able to take my payment that day.
So if you go into a nursing home, you are not suppose to pay your own way?
Are your assets supposed to be saved up for your children?
Some believe that, not saying I do, but I was just pointing out what could have been the case.
Someday soon when some poor soul dies of one of the myriad maladies
mortal humans suffer from...
some people will be saying:
"Where was Obama?"
Some people seem to have already turned Obama into, at the least,
a small g-d.

Commissioners table ditch project
NEW ULM – After nearly an hour of discussion Tuesday, Brown County commissioners tabled action on a repair request for a private driveway/bridge built over County Ditch (CD) 4 in Home Township in 1988.
According to a March 4, letter from Leon Hoffmann to the county auditor and commissioners regarding CD 4 drainage issues, a private driveway and 36-inch culvert were added in 1988 that caused a pinch point, lessening flow rate for the ditch that has been considerable pattern tiling to the north and west, increasing the flow rate.
Hoffmann wrote that last summer, the far north and west branch on his property were cleaned and a spillway on the far north branch in Section 21 was put in place.
"We need to finish the job so flow rates can return to normal with a 54-inch culvert and Roger Marti can get a safe driveway," Hoffmann wrote. "The determination of assessments of benefits should be looked at and be brought up to date as soon as possible. We have a lot invested in CD 4, and want it to be kept in good working order, and that assessments be fairly distributed."
According to May 10, 1988 county board meeting minutes in the Request for Board Action (RBA), Roger Marti requested permission to construct a private driveway across CD 4, understanding that the entire cost and future repairs would be borne by himself.
Engineer G. R. Schnobrich recommended a 36-inch culvert be placed in the driveway and said he would monitor the project for proper grade and driveway slope. Notification was sent to all landowners on CD 4, informing them of Marti's intentions. With no opposition at the hearing, commissioners authorized Marti to proceed with driveway construction, according to 1988 board minutes.
Commissioner Andy Lochner said Tuesday an engineering study is needed to determine what size tile should be used for updating the project that would require filing a petition to the county board.
"It seems you have a lot of support from your neighbors, which is great," Brown County Attorney Bob Hinnenthal said. "We can't assess costs outside the (ditch) system. …The law says public money can't be used for a private crossing."
Commissioner Dennis Potter said the board agrees the project needs to be done, subject to an engineering report, at landowner expense.
Commissioners approved:
Buying a $66,476.25 pothole patcher for the county highway department from Swanston Equipment Companies. The patcher was preferred over a $64,982.23 bid from Brock White because the Swanston unit would have less maintenance issues since it has no hydraulics or auger system.
Planning Commission recommendations for Conditional Use Permits (CUP) of Redwood Tel Acquisition, Inc. in Home Township, allowing continued use of a 240-foot microwave/cellular tower as a communications facility in the A-A Agricultural Protection Zone; and a CUP of Christopher and Lori Hacker in Eden Township, to continue to allow up to 1,920 head (576 AU) in a hog wean- to-finish operation and continued use of an existing 100-foot by 165-foot by 10-foot and 55-foot by 165-foot by 10-foot, two-stage, earthen basin in the A-1 Agricultural Protection Zone. Conditions include allowing onsite feedlot inspections to ensure compliance with all state and county standards and requirements.
A Certificate of Recognition awarded to Brown County Parks for its soil and water conservation efforts in 2012 for the restoration of native prairie and habitat. The County Parks Department and STS crew helped burn about 100 acres in the east half of Mound Creek County Park. The burn reduced the amount of non-native and noxious weeds plus spurred growth of native species already in the park. The burn plan and burn were done by Prairie Restorations Inc.
Adoption of the Brown County Open Burning Ordinance no longer requiring permits to burn brush piles. Residents wishing to burn still need to contact Brown County dispatch officials to inform them of burn locations.

Board of Adjustment OKs parking plan
A farm management company won permission Tuesday to have some parking spaces on the property of its Fort Dodge office.
The city's Board of Adjustment gave Sunderman Farm Management Co. a variance allowing the five or six parking spaces on the east side of its building at 1309 First Ave. S.
The variance was needed because city law requires a business to have a 100-foot wide lot before parking can be allowed in a side yard. The Sunderman Farm Management property is 92.3 feet wide, Brent Larson, the company's vice president, told the board Tuesday.
"We want to be in compliance," he said. "This is the only option that will come close to any compliance."
Board member Steve Hoesel said the property was laid out before the city had zoning laws. He said that means the problem the firm is trying to deal was created long before it owned the property. He added that awarding the variance doesn't give the company any rights or privileges that owners of surrounding properties do not have.
Board Chairwoman Susan Hayden abstained from the otherwise unanimous vote to award the variance. She said she abstained because she is a friend of the business owners.

Tammy Duckworth on Education
Congressional Summary:Amends title IV (Student Assistance) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 to extend the 3.4% interest rate on Federal Direct Stafford loans to loans first disbursed to undergraduate students between July 1, 2011, and July 1, 2015. Replaces the [termination date of] 2013 with 2015.
Proponent's argument for bill:(US PIRG press release): The Student Loan Affordability Act keeps interest rates affordable for students over the next two years. If Congress fails to act by July 1, interest rates on federal Subsidized Stafford Loans will double from 3.4% to 6.8%. That would hike the cost of college by $1,000 per student, per loan, for over 7 million students across the country. The bill pays for extending the current interest rates through 2015 by closing three non-education tax loopholes.
Opponent's argument against bill:(Rep. Tom Cotton, R-AR): Unfortunately, too many students today struggle for years to repay their loans because Washington politicians dictate student-loan rates and end up hurting students and taxpayers alike. It's causing tuition costs to skyrocket, leaving students buried in debt, often without jobs, and forced to delay buying a home and starting a family. As students struggle to repay their loans--regardless of the interest rate--taxpayers are on the hook for a $100 billion bailout--a burden hard-working Arkansans shouldn't have to bear. A better path is to let Arkansas's hometown banks work with students and families to finance higher education, just as they do with homes, farms, businesses, and other loans. I'm committed to bringing affordable higher education to every Arkansan and ending the federal-government monopoly on the student-lending business.

Hey guys. Welcome to the dream journal of Kingx2! He has some of the most vivid and crazy dreams you can't even imagine. Oh how he wishes he could draw them professionally. Anyways, let me stop talking in third person so I can give you a run down on how this is going to work.
I may not show it on the outside, but I have a crazy imagination. When I hit the pillows, it runs wild like a gazelle through the savanna. I remember my dreams multiple times a week. Once in a while, I'll get one that stands out and I remember well for months. A select few I remember for years, just because it paints such a mental masterpiece I can't let go. Even more rare, I will have reoccurring or 'continuing' dreams. These dreams will have multiple posts, which I will signify with 'post two', 'post three', 'post four', and so on.
I've never kept a dream diary, but creating this thread, I can now say I have. I'll update it every time I have a dream I can remember enough to post, but there might be long periods of time between those times because such an instance doesn't always happen. I hope I don't freak you out too much! After all, I'm only
insane, right?

View of the Sun
I had this dream a few nights ago, but I still remember important parts of it.
It started off with me and these two strangers, can't remember who they were or who they could have been representations of in real life, but all I know is we were a team and on a mission towards the Sun. I remember us messing around with a telescope camera, trying to take the best possible picture of the Sun as we approached it. After what seemed like only seconds, the Sun was right next to us, and our spacecraft was soaring over it. Of course, in real life we would have been incinerated instantly by the energy by flying that close, but being a dream, we sailed over it, gazing at its formidably hot, bubbly surface below.
It then came to my attention that we were approaching a planet, which floated so close to the Sun, it could have easily been hit by a casual solar flare and burned to a crisp. Eventually, we landed on the planet inside of a city, which, of course, resembled roughly the city that I currently live in. Although everything wasn't on fire like it would have been in reality, I do remember the temperature being extremely hot and humid, and absolutely everything was drenched in hot water for some reason. There were no cars or anything on the streets; just us.
There's a huge gap in my memory from what what happened until the next part of the dream, but I vaguely remember us exploring an abandoned city devoid of all life. In the last part of the dream, I was hiding from someone in a bathroom stall. Someone came into the bathroom and left, and I remember feeling intensely relieved.
Another story idea? Haha.

I dunno if I believe in past lives exactly, but I've had really odd dreams that felt like they actually happened, even after I woke up. It's kind of hard to explain, but it's a really deep felt emotion and when I disagree with it, it's like I'm disagreeing with something I KNOW happened, but at the same time...part of me says it's not real. I dunno if that makes sense but that's just how it is.
Still thinking about that novel idea...

Definitely novel worthy.
I've always been a huge believer in past lives, I don't think the life we are experiencing now is the only life we've ever had. Yes I will say that some of us have lived more lives than others but most have lived at least one or more. Fresh souls are scarce. We have no explanation for how long time has existed, but only answers for what we think we know.
Have you ever read about past-life regression therapy?
Therapist have found a way to put you into a deep trance that allows you to relive your past lives. Studies show from many seeking the truth that they have lived more than multiple lives. Why would all of these people report these other existences if they couldn't possibly be real?

It's that time again, folks!
I don't remember exactly where this dream started, but it began with the explosion of an atomic bomb, and me being caught in its blast radius.
However, instead of the blast of the bomb waking me up, like what death-inducing dreams would normally do, instead I became very warm and all I saw before me was white. As I fell through what was something along the lines of limbo, I remember calling out for my God, to save me from whatever fate lay before me.
Soon after, I was laying in a dark street of an old city, with architecture that looked very old. I remember seeing a sign that read, "382 B.C.", so I assumed this was the time period I landed in. I got up, dusted myself off, and began walking.
Aaaand...that's it. Haha. I don't remember anything else other than that. The bit about me dying and going through limbo, through, really stands out to me. Wouldn't it be awesome if when we died, all we did was get transported to a different time in history? Sounds like a premise to a novel...

Wow, can't believe it's been an entire year since I posted in this thing. I had a pretty bizarre sequence of dreams, so I felt it was worth posting so it wasn't lost.
One-Hundred to Zero
I call this dream "One-Hundred to Zero" because I went from having a great dream to what was pretty much an intense nightmare. Shook me pretty good.
Now, I can't remember a lot of how it all started, but the earliest part of the dream I can still remember is I was flying through this sort of jet stream, but only about twenty feet off the ground. All my friends were there up in the air with me, along with some various characters from TV shows I watch, and I think my family was too but I'm not too sure. All I know is me and my friends were traveling to our vacation destination and all the others up there with us just happened to be going to the same place at the same time. Lol, yes, we were literally 'flying' to our destination, haha. I always enjoy flying dreams, but this dream was pure ecstasy. Later on in the dream, when my friends and I arrived at this hotel room (which seemed rather messy), I recall raving about how amazing the 'flight' was.
Some time later, I became upset because I apparently left all my clothes and stuff back at home, so I was on the vacation with just the clothes on my back. Then my friends got all condescending and annoying all of a sudden and wouldn't stop insulting me about it. Shortly after this, the dream shifted.
Now, I walking along this road that resembled something similar to my grandpa's house in a nearby town. As we crossed the street this huge semi-truck passed by that was decorated with all sorts of designs and colors. Then before I knew it, I found myself in my Entity XF from GTA5 and I was cruising down this desolate dirt road.
Shortly after, I arrived at this gigantic white house that was situated in the middle of nowhere. Before I could get out to check it out, though, I was hijacked and two thugs drove off with my car. I remember seeing all of this in third person, too, like I was actually playing the game. When I got to the house, a few of my friends and most of my family were there, including some other people I didn't recognize.
This is where the dream really started going south. Out of nowhere, I start hearing these bullets rain down upon the front of the house and everyone started running out the back door. Before I could stop people from leaving the house, I heard screams and bodies fall. I don't remember who died exactly, but I remember feeling an intense feeling of rage and grief, which likely meant they were my family and/or close friends.
I was so angry that I wanted to run from the house, but then I saw one of the gunners, a kid that looked similar to my friend's brother (who I actually like and respect), and he nearly but a bullet in me as I dived back inside. I remember hating him with every inch on my body as I saw him stand outside the door, smiling back at us like he was totally amused with it all. However, when he tried to get inside, someone in the house pulled out a pistol and shot him dead. When the killer fell, I remember rushing to his body and chucking it clean off the porch of the house, furious, then running out into the desolate area around the house and mourning over the dead bodies.
It was some heavy stuff...it all felt so real. If it were possible, to make matters worse, when I finally managed to bring myself back inside my grandpa, who was there and alive, had a heart attack and died. Just like that.
I don't remember much after that, but I vaguely remember other events happening and they were just as bad. I almost never have nightmares like this, so it was pretty disturbing to me as I thought about it after I woke up. The only explanation I can come up with why I was so affected by all these deaths is because I've had a grandma and uncle pass away recently, as well as found out one of my grandpas was diagnosed with lung cancer. We lost all three of our dogs since October as well, so that definitely hasn't helped matters either.
I guess all these deaths has really put life into perspective for me and I'm afraid of losing any more of them, so that's why I dream about my friends and my family. I can't stand the thought of losing them, especially my close friends or family members that are such large parts of my life. But life can change in an instant and even those in good health can be taken by death just like that.
But that's just the fear talking. So, in an effort to bring this post back to 100, let me share a couple videos with you all that always help me up when I'm feeling down:

You Can't See the Forest For the Trees
- June 12, 2014
This entire dream, which felt like it was as long as a movie, took place within just one hour. The reason I know this is I went to bed around 3:30AM last night and I woke up at 4:30AM, immediately having this dream. But that doesn't even scratch the surface of how profound this dream was. It was like a vision for a movie or something. Get a load of this.
I begin the dream in a parking lot taking notice of this poor teenage girl who just came out of the store to find her truck had broke down. She was heavy set, unattractive and she dressed in raggedy clothes. She probably got crap from people a lot. While she sat there in her truck, I noticed she had a totally lost look on her face, wondering what she was going to do. I felt so bad for her, I decided to walk over to her and offer her some help. She didn't speak to me at all, but she smiled and I could tell she was a very kind person. I ended up giving her some money towards fixing her truck, and I gave her a ride home.
Her home was only one room and she lived with her parents. But what stood out in this room was the incredible artwork that lined the walls. I remember just standing there, in her one room house, staring up at the high walls, gazing up at this amazing artwork. I came to the realization that this teenage girl created this artwork.
Then something really weird happened. Walking up to me was this thinner, much prettier and richly dressed girl who tried to hit on me, and she wanted me to come with her. So I did. Then I noticed the surroundings had changed to a much nicer room, something similar to a fancy hotel. I then remember looking around for the artist girl, who had vanished, then feeling a sense of guilt. As me and the rich girl exited the building, I hesitated. She kept trying to persuade me to go with her, but I refused. Eventually, she gave up and walked way.
The dream shifted again and I was in this bar looking at this tall, pretty Latino woman who was operating the bar. She had long dark hair and she had a look of no bullsh** on her face. She kept giving me this dirty look like I had done something terrible. I remember this bothering me a whole lot, because I really liked her and seeing her look at me that way was like total rejection.
But instead of shooing me away, she came up to me, took me by the hand, and led me to the back of the restaurant to a jail cell! She sat me inside of it and closed the door, then the dream shifted again.
Now this is where it really starts getting strange. I was now younger, and I had just walked into a diner. On accident, I broke something in the diner and tried to blame it on somebody else, but the guys who ran the restaurant knew I did it and they kicked me out. As I was kicked out, I noticed that I was being filmed by a floating video camera. Ignoring the camera, I ran away. As the dream kept shifting, I kept finding myself in situations where I did the wrong thing. And every time I did those bad things, this same floating camera was staring down at me, filming it all, like I was a part of some sort of show. It was like it was trying to highlight all the dishonest things I did throughout my life.
The dream shifted again. Crowds of girls similar to the rich girl I met early on in the dream were chasing after me, but of course I wasn't able to run fast enough. They ended up trampling me in the middle of this buildings that had tons of round tables in it. I remember feeling so ashamed of myself that I just wanted to curl up there and cover my face. But as I did so, the dream shifted again.
Now, I was outside on this misty street. The artist girl was there again, but this time, floating above the ground. Her parents were there too, and they were treating her like she was some sort of goddess. The sky was yellow.
But then the dream shifted again and I was back in the bar, the same age as I was when I first saw it in my dream. I was staring back at the same tall Latino woman behind the counter. Then suddenly, she shifted into this much less attractive, heavier woman that I normally would have been disgusted by. Instead, though, I ran up to her to try and hug her. But the girl transformed again and she pushed me away as she became this tall, glowing man with stunning mint colored eyes. WTF! He then put a arm over my shoulder and led me through the restaurant.
What happened at the end of this dream still gives me chills. When we reached the back of the restaurant, we turned toward the same jail cell I had been imprisoned in earlier on in the dream. Sitting there was the younger version of me, staring up at me with a mixture of confusion and fear.
"I had no idea," the older me said out loud.
"Well now you know," said the glowing man next to me. He had a cool, soothing voice. He then put his hands on my head, covering my eyes.
"But would you believe that this is all just imaginary?"
Right when he said that, I am not kidding, I heard a woman's voice in my ear whisper,
"wake up, Damon,"
and immediately after, I woke up.
Again, WTF?
And yes, this all happened. I remember in such awe by the dream, chills ran down my spine. I still can't believe such a thing transpired in my subconscious, but it did. Was it something paranormal? Did it all mean something, or was it just another clever concoction of my imagination? Whatever it was, it was an inspiring experience and I hope to experience something like it again.

The Strangest Laboratory
- May 19, 2014
This was a dream just before I woke up this morning, which was about 10am. Keep in mind I normally wake up around 7-8. I don't sleep this late unless I go to bed really late, which wasn't true, because I fell asleep around midnight, my normal bedtime. This dream had the be the reason why I slept so late.
Anyways, so I start off in my old high school. For some reason, I really pissed off one of the gum teachers there, and all I remember here is leaving the building with him shouting at me. I pushed open two sets of double doors and the dream shifts. Now I'm standing in front of this round, glass building just one story high. I walk in, and it resembles something like my high school cafeteria.
This is where it starts getting weird. A bunch of people are sitting inside, but they're not in high school. Instead, I'm looking at a bunch of thugs, and I have the sensation that they're aggressive and they don't want me there. However, I somehow think it's a good idea to sit down and start talking to them, like they're my friends.
Instead of beating me up, all but one of them leaves the building. The one guy that stays looks like a former co-worker I had, who had the look of a thug, but was a really nice guy.
The dream shifts again, and this giant wall beside me opens up and reveals an area that looks like the lobby to a fancy skyscraper or something. The floor is polished, people in suits are walking around me and a set of doors leads off to the right of me. I decided to push through these doors and explore.
What I'm met with couldn't have been a higher contrast of what I saw before: a long line of jail cells. Creatures, some fictional and some not, as well as people, are behind bars. I walk past all of them until I reach the very last cell, where a group of what I assume to be my friends, await my presence. I can't remember if they were my real friends or not, but I had the knowledge that they were my friends.
Of course, I tried to get them out, but I'm unsuccessful. So then I decide to leave them there to find a way to break them free. I walk out a door behind me and into the sunlight.
All along this wall was a sight so disturbing, even as I'm conscious now I'm still spooked by it. A bunch of glass windows housing the most distorted, deformed, horrific looking creatures I've ever seen are before me along a long stone wall. What made it so disturbing was the fact all of these...things used to be humans. I don't want to go into detail what they all looked like, because it's too grotesque to be allowed on this site, but they made zombies look cute. And there was so much...blood. Ugh, it was gross. I went back inside to tell my friends that this was a lab and they were test subjects. They were going to end up like those monsters!
Because I was stupid, I thought it would be a great idea to just blow open the iron bars with a claymore. To my great misfortune, I found a pile of claymores inside the lobby (it was a dream; I don't get it either). But the second I picked one of them up, a siren went off and a countdown timer began to echo throughout the building. Horrified at what just happened, I ran back down the hallway, past my friends who were seemingly oblivious to the whole thing, and out the same door I went through to find those deformed humans. I get to safety just in time as a huge explosion sounds behind me.
When I turn around, though, the building is still there. A tall, stone and glass building looms above me, completely intact. Apparently the explosion did absolutely nothing to the exterior walls. Shrugging, I go back inside. My friends are still there, perfectly fine, as though nothing has happened.
Somehow, the explosion made it possible for me to open the door. I open the door and my friends escape to the outside. I'm now faced with an empty jail cell and a whole lot of other prisoners. Wanting to free the rest of them, I go back to the lobby and attempt to set off another explosion. Sure enough; as I pick up another claymore, it triggers the siren and the countdown starts again. I run from the building yet again.
However, this was a fatal mistake. I look back towards the building to see the entire lower level explode outward. Glass and rock flies out all around while flames and smoke begin to erupt from the windows. Horrified, I run back inside.
What. The. *bleep*. All the creatures behind the prison cells have suddenly turned into those creepy monsters and they're trying to break free and attack me. Down the hall, I hear shouts of men wanting to kill me for what I had done to their lab. I turn to look at the shouts to see the same thugs I saw earlier. I sprint from the building.
The dream ends with me looking back at this burning building and creatures filing out of it after me.
Yeah, talk about strange, right? This dream made no sense at all and I honestly wish I never had it. But it was odd enough to warrant a new post in this thread, so here you go!

The Two Dragons
January 26, 2013
This was probably the coolest dream I've had in years, even though I only remember random snippets of it.
The earliest part in this dream was me in a very dimly lit kitchen, with two huge golden eggs sitting on the table. The room was almost dark, yet it felt extremely warm and friendly, like I was having a fun night with my friends.
Suddenly, the eggs shatter and reveal two small dragons, one male and one female, about the size of my three year old baby brother. I don't remember anything about the male, but the female had bright white eyes that glowed in the dark and it was a deep purple color.
The rest of the dream, though, was almost all about me and the male dragon. I recall one of the first 'scenes' after the hatching incident taking place in a great grassy field. The female dragon was bigger now, probably about my size, and doing somersaults up in the sky while me and the male stood there looking out towards some far off mountains. This is where I named him something in the color of "Valilero," a name that I think I was trying to relate to
off Wind Waker.
Basically, to make a long story short, the rest of this dream is me growing up with this dragon, who gets progressively bigger, and the general public being astounded I owned something that supposedly didn't exist. I remember hitching a ride on his back and him launching fireballs over the heads of my friends, as well as flying breakneck speed over the top of a big city.
Eventually, I came to the realization that the male and female were siblings and the female was 'taken' away somewhere, and my last thought before the dream ending was going on a mission with Valilero to save her.
I'm a fan of the movie 'How to Train Your Dragon,' but I haven't seen or watched anything about the movie in weeks. I would totally consider this was a knockoff of the movie if I had, or if the dragon resembled anything like the dragons on the movie. These dragons resembled the forms of the formidable dragons I have on a poster in my room, but much friendlier looking.
So yeah, way odd but it was immensely satisfying. More of these please.

Endurance Test: Ford C-Max Takes On Chevy Volt
Let's start with the body: The Ford is a tall but somewhat short station wagon. Think of it as a mini-mini-minivan. The only drawback is the battery intrudes materially into the trunk space, which will be a deal-killer for many potential buyers.
The Ford's back seat is one of its key selling points. It's easy to get in and out, and you can fit three very large and tall basketball players. In contrast, the Volt fits only two people no taller than 6 feet, and it's a chore to get in and out given the low seating position and smaller doors.
The Ford's other major advantage is its behavior at high speeds. It is as quiet as a BMW 750, with outstanding steering. There are zero shakes or rattles. The thick and heavy doors close like a big Mercedes S550. Setting the cruise to 75 MPH and driving over 500 miles per day was a pleasure.
The Volt is also good for those 500+ mile days, except for two things. First, there is more wind noise and other noise coming from the suspension. Second, its 1.4-liter engine doesn't produce enough energy to climb very long (15+ miles) and steep mountain passes at 75 MPH without engaging "Mountain Mode" some 15 minutes before you start heading uphill.
What about fuel economy? This goes into two parts. Let's start with electric drive. The Volt goes 38 miles on electric, except if the temperature falls below 35 degrees, at which point the gasoline engine engages from time to time. This switching operation is ultra-smooth.
The Ford can go 21 miles on electricity, but I found it to be very sensitive to some combination of cold temperatures (more like 50 degrees than 35 degrees) and various unspecified "maintenance modes" where the gasoline engine often came on despite being put into "EV only" mode.
On the whole, it was very unrefined when compared to the Volt, with the gasoline engine delivering herky-jerky power when driven at very low speeds.
Furthermore, the Ford's EV-only mode has a lot less power -- at least a third less -- than the Volt. When flooring it in a steep curvy uphill road, the Ford simply lacks power, and even engages the gasoline engine even though half the battery power remains. In contrast, the Volt has sports car power and never turns on the gasoline engine if there's battery power left.
This speaks to the Volt's main advantage: Its much larger battery, which is liquid-cooled/heated and has much more powerful electric components.
Yes, this costs more to manufacture, but the performance/smoothness advantage is also huge. Being able to drive 38 miles on electricity at full power is dramatically better than 21 miles with herky-jerky low-speed gasoline engine interruptions, and at much lower power in the Ford.

Condition: 8/10 (The anno is in good shape, but there is a small amount of rust on some of the screws, and the ASA rail is scrapped up a bit.)
Color: Polished black
Upgrades: Dye NT ASA, Dye UL barrel, and Bob Long G6R grips.
Known problems: None
Price: 850 dollars shipped and pped.
Shipping options: Norwegian Post, unless you want to pay a ton in shipping.
Trades of interest: None. Cash only
Location of item: Bergen, Norway (<-- Norway is a country, for those unaware)
What is included: Crome 2 with Dye UL barrel. (unknown bore, as it is unmarked. I assume .689). I also have a defective board that will be sent with it. Maybe you can get it fixed.
I got out of paintball several months ago, and I have had this Crome 2 for a while, and it had a defective board in it. The replacement board came in, and now it is all up and going. The only problem is that I dont have the time to play, and might not for quite some time. So, out she goes. Everything is cleaned and lubed up, although after the trip from Europe to the US, it will likely need a new lube job on the bolt engine. The marker has always fired, but the defective board has a problem where you have to hold the power button to keep it on, and able to shoot. Either way, it works fine now. I would do a shooting video, but I dont have any paint or air. Yes, I know, typical excuse, but since I dont play anymore, and I dont have a paintball field near my house, I honestly dont have paint or air. I can assure you that it works, and I still have enough air to cycle the bolt for you if absolutely needed, but not enough to put a pod through it or anything.
Anyway, feel free to put in bids, but as mentioned above, no trades. If you have any questions about the marker, feel free to ask. Also, this goes without saying, but if you PM me before we have made a deal, you wont be getting a response, and I will report you. I dont like to lose a potential sale, but keep in mind that I used to be a mod here. Thank you.

Even though sales of solid-state drives (SSDs) and multimedia products are growing rapidly for Western Digital Corp., they both combined account for less than 2% of the company's quarter revenue, according to the latest financial results of the world's second largest maker of hard disk drives (HDDs). However, the company hopes to address broader markets and earn higher revenues with SSDs when it introduces new products for enterprise markets in the future.
"The combination of media players and solid state drives taken together are the fastest growing component of our business and they're both growing and we anticipate they will both continue to grow," said John Coyne, chief executive officer of WD, during the most recent conference call with financial analysts.
Western Digital on Thursday reported revenue of $2.6 billion, hard drive shipments of 49.5 million units and net income of $429 million, or $1.85 per share, for its second fiscal quarter ended January 1, 2010. In the year-ago quarter, the company reported revenue of $1.8 billion, hard drive shipments of 35.5 million units, and net income of $14 million (the year-ago net income included $113 million of restructuring charges). Average hard drive selling price was approximately $52.00 per unit, up $1from the year ago quarter and up $3.00 from the September quarter.
According to Timothy Leydon, chief financial officer of WD, non-hard drive revenue, including sales of WD TV HD media sets and solid-state drives, totaled approximately $47 million compared to $12 million in the prior year and $36 million in the September quarter. Clearly, WD TV HD as well as own-brand SSD product lines are growing fast.
At present Western Digital ships SSDs designed for embedded systems, media appliance and data streaming markets. The company remains tight-lipped over solid-state drives for consumers, but claims that in 2011 it will address broader enterprise markets with offerings that include SSDs with Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface and other improvements.
"We expect to have an enterprise ready solid-state product line offering in 2011 and so we will continue to expand the current drive base of 2.5" 10K SAS, continue to expand that product line over the course of this year and follow up with an extension to the product line with higher performance products in 2011," the chief executive of WD told the analysts.
The company has no plans to enter the market of HDDs with 15K rpm spindle speed and intends to address the ultra high-performance segment with solid-state offerings. Nevertheless, WD is sure that 90% of enterprise storage needs will still be served by HDDs in the next three years.
"Our expectation [is] that within three years [over 90% of] the traditional enterprise space would be serviced by 2.5" 10K [HDDs] and that our solution for higher-performance than that would be addressed with solid-state drives," said Mr. Coyne.

Global paleogeographic reconstruction of the Late Ordovician 450 million years ago and a reconstruction of life in the Cincinnatian ocean. The position of Cincinnati on the paleocontinent Laurentia is highlighted (red star). Paleogeographic map by Ron Blakey (Colorado Plateau Geosystems). Ocean life reconstruction by John Agnew (2007).
Cincinnati Museum Center (Cincinnati, Ohio)
Under the Sea in the Southern Hemisphere
The layered strata that can be seen along the numerous road cuts and in streambeds in the vicinity of Cincinnati are among the most fossil rich regions in North America. As a testament to their scientific significance, these rocks are known as the North American Upper Ordovician Type Standard. To study Earth's history 450 million years ago, the best place in North America is the famous Cincinnatian Series.
These outcrops of strata represent muds and limestones that were deposited over the course of millions of years on an ancient shallow tropical ocean bottom. This time in North American history looks very different from our modern perspective. North America as we know it didn't exist, but its predecessor, Laurentia, was a southern hemisphere continent mostly covered by a warm, shallow ocean. At this time, the majority of life on Earth was in the oceans—representing most major phyla of organisms known today. Brachiopods and bryozoans comprise the greatest proportion of the biomass, but crinoids, trilobites, bivalves, corals, and gastropods are abundant and diverse. Annelids provide a rich trace fossil record, signaling the diversity of soft-bodied life within the oxygenated substrate at this time. Even though vertebrates, in the form of agnathan fish, had evolved by this time, this was definitely an invertebrate dominated world with every ecological role—from detrital feeder to predator—occupied by invertebrates.

The Ordovician trilobite Isotelus maximus is the state fossil of Ohio (link to PDF).
There are a variety of reasons why this region continues to be a hotbed for paleontology. The Cincinnatian Series is at the end of a pivotal evolutionary event for life on Earth. During the onset of the Ordovician period, life experienced the greatest evolutionary biodiversification event in the history of the Earth. As a result, the number of species in the oceans exploded culminating in the astounding diversity of fossils found in this region. These fossils are exquisitely preserved. Rapid burial by submarine mudflows at the bottom of the ocean provided protection from wave energy and scavengers that might otherwise destroy animal remains. The numerical abundance of fossils is also amazing. Try to pick up a rock from this region without a fossil in it—it's hard to do!
Our incredible rocks and fossils have attracted much worldwide attention for well over 100 years. A long legacy of scientific research in American paleontology and stratigraphy was accomplished here. Cincinnati paleontology grew out of research publications from "gentlemen naturalists" that were passionate collectors and amateur scholars in the latter part of the 19th and early 20th centuries. This legacy of scientific research is still ongoing today, with the University of Cincinnati Department of Geology cited as one of the foremost paleontological programs in the country.

The official City of Cincinnati fossil, Isorophus cincinnatiensis, was decided by public vote at Cincinnati Museum Center and declared by the mayor of Cincinnati in 2002. Isorophus is a edrioasteroid ("seated star"), an extinct group of echinoderms.
Cincinnatian fossils are displayed in museums all over the world. Scientists regularly visit Cincinnati Museum Center's research collections—one of the largest Upper Ordovician collections in the world. Whether through the legacy of major contributions to science by historical and current paleontologists, or the abundance, diversity, and preservation of organisms found in this regions outcropping strata, Cincinnati has a unique resource that continues to make significant contributions to understanding the Earth's past.
Please visit Cincinnati Museum Center's website www.cincymuseum.org for more information. Detailed information on the Invertebrate Paleontology collections can be found at www.cincymuseum.org/research/invertebrate.
The Mission of Cincinnati Museum Center is to inspire all people to understand and appreciate natural history, science, and regional history; and to support the development of children. We collect and preserve; we advance and share knowledge. We stimulate curiosity and promote enjoyment of learning.

Glad ya'll had a good day! I was out the day before on Friday afternoon and did fantastic on the streach betwixt Mas. and the rif below Millers Is. Fly of the day was a Tung BH quasi-PT flash back tied on a sz 14 2457 TMC hook floated about 12" below a yarn indie. Caught two 17" bows back to back and quite a few in the 12-14" range though those runs. The supher hatch was marginal and the fish were getting in the lanes to sip the emerging nymphs as they struggled to hatch.
AA; good call on your fly choice and depth, I did about the same area the same way the following day!
Wilson 10
Shawn had a size 14 sulphur SPINNER, NO Hackle just flat tie dun poly wings. He cast it into slow side water and chugged & twitched "bass bug style" and recieved savage strikes.
It is entirely possible that during the overnight hours there was a spinner fall so the fish are accustomed to seeing dying mayflies on the surface.
Actually fishing during a spinner fall is a rare event for most people; it has happened to me only a few times and I do not carry flies to "match" them.
Too often we ASSUME so much about trout behavior; surprises keep it interesting. While it's nice to just go out and catch trout on the seemingly can't miss times I much enjoy tougher fishing like saturday afternoon at the church when the fish had about seen everything by the time I got there... still managed several nice fish but boy did I need to work for them.
Hope to have some of HUGH's split cases made up by Saturday but the CABLE GUY is coming that morning to fix the mess he made last week so I don't know if I will make it.
Here is the pattern I am throwing.

If this were possible I could go to the Clinch or any other river, tie on any fly I choose and if I drift it enough times the fish will eventually think it is a hatch and start eating a fly no matter how absurd it might be for where ever I am fishing.
Anyone who believes the above please raise your hand?
Tight Lines,
You drinking again Jim Jordan or experiencing that little man's syndrome again? I thought we had a talk about this last time and how you were going to try and do better(?) I saw your ride at Miller's Sunday and I am sure we will run in to each other...
I have one of the most varied fly boxes you will ever see and I catch fish consistently on anything I throw. Now your philosophy of throwing a bhpt would bore me to death and I would rather fish with worms if that is all I threw...

I think Brook trout are beautiful but they are so absolutely foolish, gullible and MOOCHIE that I do believe they will eat anything they might even imagine is food. It bores the crap out of me to catch them; and i consider them "by-catch".
No doubt TWRA stocks them in the Clinch so people can feel successful fly fishing when the rainbows are fussy and the brown trout are totally tight lipped.
I caught a pile of brookies Saturday afternoon at the Church in water that had been totally SPANKED ALL DAY. I fished a spot after two guys left in disgust and still caught brookies and a couple bows.
So then this dude (about 60 and old enough to know better manners) totally tramples in front of me across the flow I'm fishing into with a dry-dropper and says, "Excuse me; I'm just passing through" and then proceeds to CAST his way through 20 feet away from me and tramples over the water I'm fishing. Well the dude had a CREEL on his hip and the last I saw him it was still empty.... not talented enough to catch a fool brookie.
SO If ANYONE is making a claim that they can throw something long enough to give the appearance of a hatch to fish in a river (any river) and expecting to catch fish.... I would expect it to be brook trout that would put up with someone casting over them 200 times to "create the illusion of a hatch" and then catch the fish... fact is if brook trout are in the water you are fishing you will likely catch them regardless of fly. presentation or spanking the crap out of them.
withdraw your bet Shawn.
You didn't see my ride at Millers on Saturday, I haven't fished at Millers in probably 15 years, and haven't been on the Clinch since March. I was deep in the woods.
My wording was poor, and we can certainly catch fish on a wide variety of flies to each of our liking or choosing. And as I have said before, I am stuck in a horrible rut when it comes to pattern variations on our tailwaters. I do not doubt for one second that fish can be caught on any manner of patterns, and most of the patterns that you post up here would work.
I was referring to tricking fish into thinking a hatch is starting. Like a lot of wild critters, fish are pretty in tune with what is going on around them, and duping them into thinking it is a hatch is difficult to believe.
Duping them into eating a wide variation of flies is not hard to believe, and I absolutely agree that many many different flies will work, and many times something random can work better than an old stand by. Hope that clarifies my post from last night.
Don't be so touchy, I wasn't trying to start any pissing matches, not this time
However, I do disagree about creating an artificial hatch. The logic and correct method allows for this to be possible. ....Not saying you can trick a trout to thinking there is a mayfly hatch in December....but, if you can trick them to taking a dry sulphur-why not trick them in to thinking there is a hatch with repetitive approaches of the same fly...?
I have tons of new video with my new HD Hero. However; my pc is super slow at editing the high-end video. I will try and put together a video illustrating my idea and how I fish it both from the fisherman perspective and the trout perspective underwater.

There are a handful a hitters that are begging for your attention on this slow day in the majors.Value plays:
Carlos Gonzalez – There are only 7 games tonight, making it important to choose wisely when it comes to which all stars you chose for you daily fantasy baseball lineup. The Rockies best hitter owns a lifetime .364 average against Madison Bumgarner with an extraordinary .773 slugging percentage. CarGo leads the team in home runs and doubles and is the only Colorado player to have a walk to strikeout ratio over 1. If you're going to spend big money on a player today in a daily fantasy baseball game, give the Rockies outfielder a long hard look, as he has the best career numbers of any of the big bats in action tonight.
Nate Schierholtz – Hitting a knuckleball requires a rare blend of patience and aggression, anticipation and guessing. Schierholtz has guessed right against RA Dickey is his limited experience, batting .429 with an eye popping 1.286 slugging percentage. The right fielder has more home runs (2) against Dickey than the rest of his team, and that figures to earn him a spot in the lineup. Don't rule out the fact that the Phillies need every game, a mindset that could lead to Schierholtz swinging for the fences. He may not be a common player to roster, but we know what pitch Dickey is going to throw, and Schierholtz has been able to handle it.
Pablo Sandoval – While Jhoulys Chacin's name may stump most people in a game of hangman, he has done anything but baffle the Kung Fu Panda of San Francisco. Sandoval has 7 hits in 16 career at bats (.438 batting average) with a 1.000 slugging percentage against the often erratic righty. He leads all Giants in doubles, triples (!), and home runs, and has gotten on base in every other at bat over his career against Chacin. Sandoval could easily be tonight's top third basemen, and is a sure bet to provide the greatest value.

Amgen and Onyx Pharmaceuticals Reported to be Near Deal
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Amgen
An announcement of a deal could be made as soon as Monday, The New York Times reported Saturday, citing unidentified "people briefed on the matter."
But "the talks could still fall apart before getting to the finish line," The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday, citing an unidentified person familiar with the matter.
If the deal -- said to be worth $125 a share for Onyx shareholders -- is completed, Amgen would gain full rights to Kyprolis, a new drug to treat multiple myeloma, Reuters reported. The drug could reach peak sales of more than $2 billion a year, the news agency said, citing analysts.
A spokesman for Amgen told TheStreet.com that his company had no comment. A similar response was received from a spokeswoman for Onyx.

13406 E. Philadelphia St. Whittier, CA 90608
English professor Tony Barnstone has published a new book of poems, Beast in the Apartment. The book is divided into five sections that include narrative poems and traditional sonnets.
According to the New York Journal of Books, "This collection offers the riches of a mature poet's reflections on life and death, which cannot help but enrich our own lives as well."
American poet Yusef Komunyakaa said this about Barnstone's new book, "Plain-spoken and magical, this poet knows how to make imagination and the real world collide softly. Borders are crossed in the psyche and the flesh, and this collection seems like an elongated song that embraces the most elusive moments buried in language and nuance through the pure naming of things--a mantra of what is and what is dreamt--that takes into the sacred territory what no ordinary compass can plot or unplot."

Commissioners talk insurance
ST. CLAIRSVILLE – During their Wednesday meeting, Belmont County commissioners heard a report from Ginny Shrimplin of CORSA Insurance regarding a renewal update.
She was joined by Bob Bethel, chair of the Independent Insurance Agents Association of Belmont County, and Matt Thomas, committee member.
Shrimplin gave a positive report, noting the county's decrease of 2 percent in total premium, while pool-wide there was a 3 percent increase due to increasing property rates. The 2 percent decrease comes to $9,258.
The county also received loss control member equity credit of $41,280. They also received a loss control incentive program credit of $4,549 for participating in the program and meeting some guidelines.
Total amount due this year is $463,959, a reduction from last year's $473,218.
"We went through some rough times in Belmont County, and I really have to commend you," she said. "Everybody has really worked and made an effort to keep those losses down and participate in our programs."
She noted three coverage enhancements made to the program this year. The attorney disciplinary action coverage has been expanded to include any attorney who is employed by the county. Contracted individuals are not covered. Coverage is limited to $25,000, with an annual aggregate of $25,000.
The employee dishonest/faithful performance coverage will no longer have a deductible. This is due to an increase in the number of claims. The attorney general's office is becoming involved and has decided that should a county employee commit a theft, no county money can be used to repay the loss. The Ohio Revised Code specifies that elected officials are responsible for the actions of their employees and would have to pay the deductible.
"We didn't want that to happen so we are doing away with the deductible," said Shrimplin.
In addition, a $1,000 limit has been added to claims expense coverage.
Also, CORSA has put the local agency representation policy statement in writing.
She presented the stewardship report, listing the full benefits the county received during the past three years through CORSA membership. She noted the county has made frequent use of the HR help line 2010 and 2011 for legal advice.
"It does help prevent a lot of losses for the county. Your invoice, your program costs reflect that this year," she said, also commending the county for sending contracts to CORSA for review.
Shrimplin also commended Fred Thompson, the previous sheriff, for his efforts in taking advantage of online CORSA classes.
Board accepted the resignation of Dwayne Pielech as director of Belmont County Department of Job and Family Services, effective July 12, 2013. He held the post for the last 14 years. Commissioners accepted by a vote of 2-1, with Commissioner Matt Coffland dissenting.
Commissioners motioned to enter into a roadway use maintenance agreement for pipeline and compressor projects and infrastructure with Ohio Gathering Co. LLC for the use of .50 miles of Belmont 100 (McMillan Road) for the purpose of ingress and egress for pipeline activity. A county-wide $5 million bond is on file.
Commissioners approved a motion to adopt a revised county roadway use maintenance agreement for drilling projects and infrastructure.
In other matters, commissioners noted that Community Development Block Grant funds available were down to $190,000 this year from last year's $212,000. The applications are due by June 21.
Commissioners motioned to adopt a resolution establishing a Capital Projects-Senior Centers Fund to accumulate resources for the acquisition, construction, or improvement of fixed assets. These include acquiring, constructing or improving facilities and equipment and providing for contingencies and unexpected emergencies related to maintaining facilities and equipment. Money shall not accumulate in the fund for more than 10 years. If not used after 10 years, the fiscal officer will transfer all money in the fund to the original source or the fund intended to receive the money.
Commissioner Ginny Favede was authorized to execute a Master Group Policy with THP Insurance Co. Inc. for health insurance coverage for eligible Belmont County employees for one year, commencing June 1.
The next commissioners' meeting is set for Tuesday, April 23, at 10 a.m. The Wednesday meeting is canceled due to the oil and gas expo.

David Akers (1975/88): The 1926 is the second most common issue of this type after the 1932. Thousands of Mint State examples are known, and specimens are available with regularity in all Mint State grades up to and including MS-64. In MS-63 and lower grades, this issue is downright plentiful, at least by Indian Head eagle standards. Gems are more scarce than many realize (considerably more so than gems of 1932), but are still seen quite often. A very few superb quality pieces are known but even this "common" issue is extremely rare in grades better than MS-65. Although the 1926 is often put in the same cateory as the 1932 as far as rarity is concerned, it is actually substantially more rare, especially in MS-65 condition.
Nearly all 1926 eagles are well struck and the lustre is rarely, if ever, less than very good to excellent. Color varies widely from greenish gold to light to medium orange gold. Many specimens also have coppery spots. Frosty specimens are the rule but a small percentage have somewhat satiny surfaces. Many specimens exhibit unsightly surface "cuts" that seem considerably worse than one would mormally expect as bagmakrs. Is there an explanation for this?

The common wombat inhabits the hilly or mountainous coastal country of southeastern South Australia and as well, Tasmania and Flinders Island in Bass Strait. It used to occupy the other islands of Bass Strait, however, through hunting of humans, it has become extinct. Some zoologists have restricted the range of Vombatus ursinus to Tasmania and Flinders Island and regard the mainland form as a second species, V. hirsutus.

Topic: Good UI idea, but need Update several items from an ajax call?
Hi There,
I have been working on a very nice User Interface idea, where the list/create/delete and edit are all in one window.
But I seem to need the ability to render two partials from one ajax call. Can it be done?
I am wondering if there is a good way to do this:
I have (all in one page):
- a scrolling table with my items in it (in rows)
- a form with the current selected item
The table rows are clickable and with:
onClick="<%= remote_function(:update => "what_to_update", :url => { :action => :select , :id => item.id})%>;"
The 'select' function sets the selected item and calls render partial for the table items. This works very nicely. The selected item in the table gets highlighted and the table doesn't scroll back.
But... Offcourse the form should also be updated!
If I update the partial which contains both the table and the form, the form gets updated, but the table is drawn from scratch, and is reset to 0, so that if the selected item is at the bottom of the table, it scrolls out of view.
Is there a way to render the table items and the form independantly (so without redrawing the table)? That way the scrolling table will remain where it is.

The Pittsburgh metropolitan area is the U.S. Census-defined seven county region surrounding the city of Pittsburgh in Western Pennsylvania, United States. The counties include Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington, and Westmoreland.
The area is considered by many to be only part of the true Pittsburgh area. For instance, the Pittsburgh "market" as used by radio and TV claims the counties of Indiana, Greene, and Lawrence in Pennsylvania, as well as Monongalia, Preston, and Garrett counties in West Virginia and Maryland. See the Pittsburgh DMA for more precise definition of this area. There is also considerable evidence linking the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia and the east-central and southeastern counties of the state of Ohio; see Pittsburgh Tri-State for further data supporting this minority claim. Although separated from each other by natural barriers the two regions are growing more and more close.

Spadola shines as Jets beat Giants in overtime
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - Lehigh grad Ryan Spadola put on a show in the Jets 24-21 overtime win over the Giants in a preseason game Saturday night.
Spadola caught three passes for a game-high 110 yards, including a 70-yard catch-and-run and a 22-yard touchdown catch.
Billy Cundiff kicked a 32-yard field goal with 8:04 left in overtime to give the Jets the win.
It's the only time the rivals will play this year unless they qualify for the cold-weather Super Bowl here in February. The way the Jets (2-1) and Giants (1-2) played, it's highly unlikely.
The Jets quarterback picture got even murkier, too, despite winning the annual bragging rights game.
Rookie Geno Smith struggled. Mark Sanchez seemingly hurt his right shoulder, and his status is suddenly in question two weeks before the season opener. The only guy who looked good was Matt Simms.
The Jets' quarterback situation has been the No. 1 question mark for Rex Ryan's team since training camp opened. The seriousness of Sanchez's injury was not immediately known, and Smith didn't look ready for prime time.
