Skip to comments.Let's be Honest: Guns are just a small part of the USA's problems.
Posted on 01/09/2013 5:32:14 AM PST by GlockThe Vote
Let's be clear: when Congress passes an "assault weapons" ban (and they will pass a ban), it'll be pretty much toothless.
That the law will likely leave most things unchanged doesn't matter the government simply has to do something.
Much like Clinton's ban in 1994, this new legislation will be rife with loopholes.
To effectively ban weapons in the U.S., a country with 90 guns for every 100 people, the government would have to outlaw all semiautomatic weapons.
That's not all though.
It would then have to double, if not triple, the staff at Alcohol Tobacco Firearms, and sweep through the nation conducting mandatory buybacks, using the FBI's gun registry as a roadmap. That's right, no grandfathered weapons allowed either (unlike Rep. Diane Feinstein's new bill, which allows grandfathered weapons).
To call the strategy costly would be an understatement even in terms of human cost how long before the ATF is in an intense shootout with some Midwestern militia?
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
That's true. The government has to do something and inanimate objects are way easier to control than people. You can easily sit around and talk about this weapon or that at committees on tv in the radio. No one knows what to say or do when it comes down to people committing random acts.
Let's be even MORE honest. Guns in the hands of law abiding citizens are NOT A PROBLEM AT ALL!
> No one knows what to say or do when it comes down to people committing random act
The left knows what to do - ban random acts...:: )
I wpuld not even have a problem w some type of training requirement as I know a lot of people w guns who quite honestly are probably more a danger to themselves at this point.
But that is besides the point, these commies are trying to go after people who are no danger whatsoever to the public.
If we want to be honest, guns are not the problem at all in America. That's like saying knives are the problem...or cars are the problem...or poisons are the problem...or electricity is the problem...or any other object/device that can be used to harm/maim/kill is the problem.
No, if we want to be honest, sin is the problem in America...or anywhere else, for that matter.
Ban earthquakes!
Let's be Honest: Criminals are the USA's problem, brought about by the laxity of the liberal, do-gooder courts.
In a nation of 300,000,000 people w a 24/7 media looking for anything whatsoever to obsess over - we get a few isolated incidents blown up to be national tragedies when they are not.
Sad YES!
But with 300,000,000 bad stuff is going to happen from time to time.
Every person on a shooting spree has been certifiably insane. The problem is we let crazy people walk around with no monitoring.
Correct - the leftists and communists blame guns instead of the failed liberal utopia that is all around for everyone to see.
Gun owners like ourselves will look like complete asses if we choose to fall on our sword over mentally ill people getting CCW.
I personally have no problem w denying guns to mnentally deranged people, felons, and have some type of training requirement and class for safe storage, usage, etc.
I have a problem with the felons one. If they did their time, they should be given a second chance on guns. If they are multple-felon, then maybe deny.
Right now we have to be smart about this. Fighting for felons and mentally ill people to own guns to me looks awful, regardless of the principals behind it and will be used to make a mockery of us.
Just my .02
If we're going to be honest, claiming that guns are even a small part of America's problems is counterproductive.
Guns are not even a small part of America's problems; the authors premise is a lie.
More guns in the hands of the right people are very much a part of the SOLUTION to America's problems. Hence, any legislative action other than repealing some or all of America's 20,000 gun-control laws is only preventing a solution.
It's quite clear that the gun-banners, the Dianne Feinsteins and Chuck Schumers and Barack 0bamas of the world WANT more dead innocent children. They WANT innocent people to be trampled and killed by criminals and tyrants.
The gun-ban crowd are simply evil.
The problem is who gets to make that determination. In the Soviet Union, dissenting views frequently resulted in a diagnosis of mental illness.
They will deliberately leave guns in the hands of criminals, while trying to take them from honest, law-abiding citizens.
Guess who will get to decide who is mentally unfit?
The medical profession that is run by uncle sugar.
Oh, I agree. We have to stem the flood right now. Mentally ill should be 100% denied, and if they are certifiable, they need to have the guns plucked right out of their hands. To a person, the last 5 mass shootings have been crazies.
Seeing what that aurora freak was warning of prior to his shrink - uuummmm - sorry - that dude does not and should not get a gun legally.
Any history of depression can be construed as mental illness. The stats on "depression" in this country are staggering.
Who will define mental illness as the basis for not owning firearms?
I'm not well read on the constitution.
What restrictions does the 2nd Amendment impose?
Whenever an atrocity like Sandy Hill happens the left uses it to promote restrictive gun laws that in no way would prevent a future occurrance of the event. This shows they are interested in fixing what actually happened, only in promoting their antigun agenda.
Interestingly the left has taught us how to handle incidents like this- GO ON THE OFFENSIVE. Back in the 80s when gays were busy spreading AIDS thoughout the country and killing millions of people, they didnt hang their heads, apologize for it and accept new laws against homosex. They demanded MORE rights, in fact they demanded that normal epidemiological reporting of venereal disease and the notification of sex partners be banned (which helped spread the disease and killed more people).
The second ammendment is a right and we should push for an expansion of it not more restrictions that will do no good.
I had to talk one of my severly depressed friends off the ledge a few times from killing his ex.
People w Bi-polar, schizophrenia, etc should not get access to legal weapons IMHO.
Of course if they want one illegally there will always be a way - but we are going to lose big time on this if we plant or flag for felons and schizos
Pointing out the errors in this piece starts with the first word and ends with the last. The picture of Rambo shows him using an M-60, a 7.62 machine gun, which Americans can't buy without giving up your firstborn child. Tet, this "Marine Corps veteran" says Rambo uses a .50 caliber machine gun.
I have never seen Bugs Bunny "wrapped" over the head with a hammer. Rapped, maybe; but not wrapped. He wants confiscation, which belies his being a Second Amendment supporter and betrays his oath as a Marine.
Finally, in an article advocating the disarming the people, by force, if necessary; he concludes that the problem is bigger than guns. Thanks for nothing.
If there is a diagnosis that somebody is an immediate threat to themselves or others, they need to be locked up. At that point its not a matter of dickering of what civil rights they may or may not have, and firearms ownership should be among the least considerations. If somebody is going to be dangerous with a firearm due to psychosis, they are every bit as much a threat with a car, an axe, a chainsaw etc. and need to be committed.
They deliberately armed the narco armies in Mexico in order to create a chaotic situation with the ultimate end goal of disarming the American citizens.
Think of the situation if the justice department had suceeded in that plan.
Fast and furious blew up in their faces, but their goals have not changed. They are just looking for another avenue to achieve the same goal. If Sandy Hook doesn't get it for them, there will be another incedent down the road that they can use.
"never let a crisis go to waste"
That is a losing argument when you consider impositions that have been imposed on the 1st Amendement that have passed muster that are set in stone.
If we want to fall on sword for felons and shizos - well good luck - we are going to lose everything.
Stalin: killed 50 million of his own people; Mao: killed 75 million of his own people; Hitler: killed 25 million people; Pol Pot, Castro, Lenin, and others: killed many millions more.
Who will stop the tyrant, if not a well armed citizenry?
Who do you trust more with a gun? The average citizen who works a job to support his family? Or some Fed agent who doesn't make policy, he just follows orders?
I'm waiting to hear another solution which solves the problem of tyranny more effectively than the 2nd Amendment.
Because it sounds to me like the proposed 'cure' is much worse than the 'disease'.
correct - and that is why we should steer the focus to the failings of the mental health industry since all of these psychos who did these mass killings were clinically F'ed up!
"I have a problem with the felons one. If they did their time, they should be given a second chance on guns. If they are multple-felon, then maybe deny."
I dont have a problem denying guns to felons even if they did their time. I have a problem with denying guns to guys who are going through a divorce and whose wives put out an order of protection against them for spite. It happened to a friend of mine even though no accusation of violence was ever made. It happens all the time.
"The United Kingdom has a total recorded crime rate per capita of approximately 85 per 1000 people; the United States of America records approximately 80"
"A 2006 statistical analysis found no measurable effect detectable from the 1997 firearms legislation."
"In the year Apr 2010 to Mar 2011 there were 11,227 recorded offences involving firearms, broken down as follows.
By weapon type:
Long-barrelled shotgun = 406
Sawn-off shotgun = 202
Handgun = 3,105
Rifle = 74
Imitation firearm = 1,610
Unidentified firearm = 957
Other firearm = 670
Air weapons = 4,203
"According to Nationmaster, the UK has the third highest number of persons per crime, on the planet, at 26.4% of their population."
"According to Mail Online News, gun crime has skyrocketed in the last decade despite a weapons ban in effect"
As you can see a ban is extremely effective....[/sc]
Source wiki
I understand your sentiment, but I have a huge problem with any training requirement, at least a governmental requirement. As you admit, it would be for our own safety, which is the slippery slope of all government enslavement. As CS Lewis says, the tyrant who works for our own good never sleeps....
Who will define mental illness as the basis for not owning firearms?
This is exactly what the gun-ban crowd would like to do. Does anyone have any idea how many tens of millions of people have taken anti-depressants over the last few decades? If you've taken them, that means your doctor has deterined that (at least at the time) you suffered from some degree of mental illness. This WILL be used as a way of denying people the right to keep and bear firearms. If they have no moral qualms about dancing over the still-warm bodies of children victimized by a nut, why would anyone think that they'd have moral qualms about disarming tens of millions of people using some other means (that they can claim is "only reasonable")?
I once practiced to become a magician. I'm no good at it but I remember the overriding principle if misdirection. Never let the audience focus on what you're doing. Change the focus with a flourish of a scarf, a scantily clad assistant or the famous smoke and mirrors.
The furor about gun control has me wondering about to what end are we being played? What is the Left really up to? What's really going on.
We are being played with all of this. There will be new legislation but that's not what this noise is all about.
Mentally ill people are already banned from owning guns. The bat sh** crazy guy who killed all those kids was denied a firearm when he tried to buy one. So he killed his mother and took her guns. Where the he** have you been living that you don't know that mentally ill people can't buy firearms legally in the USA? As for the rest of your statement, requiring training in order to buy a firearm is just as much an infringement on our rights as are permits to carry.
PS, Felons can't legally buy firearms in the USA either. Read a little and learn something.
Look - I have been to few ranges where they rent guns to anyone and quite honestly - I was horrified at how poorly trained a lot of these people were.
I'm not saying a govt course - but maybe something run by the NRA, GOA, or Front Sight or something like that.
When my GF first got her license and the first time I took her to the range - good God - I'm surprised I walked away alive. Thankfully she has become a lot better after much range time and some training.
So cut to the chase, Geoffrey, what is your solution? Communist dictatorship with "the right people" at the helm? Mass slavery? Elimination of wrong-thinking people?
Hey genius - that is why I am saying we need to focus on the mother who was reckless, the people who knew this kid was batshit crazy, etc.
Same as Aurora, same as Colorado, same as VA Tech.
This defense did not work at Nuremberg. Some of the concentration camp guards tried to use it but were hanged anyway.
Stalin: killed 50 million of his own people; Mao: killed 75 million of his own people; Hitler: killed 25 million people; Pol Pot, Castro, Lenin, and others: killed many millions more.
Hitler had the Jews, blacks, homos and infirm as his targets. Pol Pot had the intellectuals as his. Who will be the targets in the US? Whites, Repubs, US citizens, anyone have any ideas?
I have an idea - all of the gun control zealots who want to disarm the public lead the charge and act as point man on the raids.
Let them put their money where their mouth is.
How the heck can the FBI have a "gun registry"?
Guns may soon become the solution.
Let the gun control zeaolts lead the charge to try to disarm people.
It is not the weapon that is the problem it is the insane and the criminal. The politicians want to control law abiding citizens and they can only do that if they disarm us first. Instead of controlling the problems, the politicians let the criminals and insane run free on the streets to commit crimes and then use those crimes against us and not against the criminals and insane. If someone of age is not responsible enough to a full member of society (full rights including self defense rights) then they should not be in society. We cannot allow the government to infringe because the government only takes and we will never get it back.
Freedom requires responsibility of the members of society.
Those w guns need to know if there is a psycho crack pot under their roof and act in a responsible way.
Had the mother in Newton simply transfered the guns to a friend or had this kid sent away for help perhaps this whole mess could have been avoided.
I disagree, I don't think an AWB will ever be allowed out of committee in the House. (a committee stacked with a majority of pro-gun Republicans by the way). There a $hitload of Republicans and even quite a few democrats would rather not have a vote at all than be put on the record supporting gun control even if they secretly support a ban, and killing it in committee is the easiest way to do that.
The mother was working on having her son submitted but because the left wants to control law abiding citizens it is hard to do. There is also no reason for her to give up her rights and protection. Bad people will do bad things, punishing good people for the actions or possible actions of bad people is wrong. Our rights do not come from the government and the 2nd amendment is a limit on government not us.
Please remember to thank the ACLU for litigating to turn loose all of the fruits and nuts who cannot function in an organiozed society out into the general populace.
Peopel who have absolutely no ability to care for themselves or who are demonstrably feral and dangerous wander the streets because they have "rights" too.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (835 votes).
In short: Not quite sure why it didn't quite do it for me...In full: Odd one this - I had higher expectations, with this being my first GSR. To be honest in many ways it didn't match up to some of the smaller, shorter runs I've done previously. The scenery was Ok but maybe as I'm reasonably local I dont appreciate it as much as i should. It was well organised, didnt encounter any problems, came in by train but could probably have travelled in by car without too many problems. The crowds were patchy but gave good encouragement. I'll probably do it again - depends if anything else is on offer in the weeks either side of this, if there is something else I may well be tempted away.Date of review: October 10, 2004
In short: My first race! Definitely a good one to start on (mostly flat!)Date of review: October 10, 2004
In short: Six mins quicker than my last 10 miler so it must be a pretty fast course.Date of review: October 10, 2004

Located in open countryside house, bananas, avocados whistling frogs in the same Garten.Diana and Steven are uncomplicated and generous hosts, with the car everything is on the part of the island well erreichen.Wir felt like we were at home
Mitten im Grünen gelegenes Haus ,Bananen,Avocados pfeifende Frösche gleich im Garten.Diana und Steven sind unkomplizierte und grosszügige Gastgeber,mit dem Auto ist alles auf dem Teil der Insel gut zu erreichen.Wir fühlten uns wie zu Hause
Reviews for this host's other properties
You need your own transport to get to this property and it is quite far out from anything! It's a good place to stay if you want to unplug from everything including TV and the big city. If you want to fall asleep to the sounds of nature, this is the place for you.
The hosts are friendly and will offer you fresh smoothies and even pumpkin pie, they also have a lot of local information regarding the area and beyond.
There is internet, use of kitchen and a shared bathroom, but all in all, a really peaceful place to stay, even though it rained for a full week.
see below...
Steven and Diane were nice and helpful hosts. There is lots to do and see nearby and Steven suggested many options. We had a pleasant new year's eve with our hosts and another couple who stayed there at the same time. During our stay (late Dec 2013) the weather at the west coast was much better though, so we moved back there. If you are on a honeymoon or need lots of privacy a shared property and bathroom may not be your thing, but if you enjoy meeting new folks and sharing cultures, this is a nice place to go.
The host was superb! He made me feel so welcome from the moment I arrived. The room was quiet and comfortable. The home is in a lovely neighborhood. Steven knows the area very well. He took me on some trips and recommended some good restaurants. I love the Sushi and the famous Hawaiian Ahi. I am so glad I booked a room at his home. I encourage everyone to stay at the Pineapple house or at the Da Shurf Shak while you are on Big Island Hawaii. You will not regret it. Thanks Steven for making my trip so outstanding and memorable!!

I can't wait to see the results Norma. I am kind of curious why you included sugar and malt powder , but I am guessing you will provide us with the answer tomorrow.
Norma,I cant wait to see the results. I am kind of curious about the better for breads and how it will hold up as well. I have used it several times in the past and had to lower my hydration by about 2% when compared with some of the other brands I have tried, KA and Wheat Montana. I am liking the idea of larding up the pan. If that does not provide some flavor I am not sure what will. Good Luck.
Norma,One thing I thought of tonight for your future Sicilian experiments is that you may want to try two different dough formulas on each side of the pan. What I mean is, cut your dough formula in half and create a standard or generic dough on one side of the pan (what is referred to in experimental biology as a control) and your experimental dough on the other side. I personally found this method to be useful when creating the Buratto clone. I found that using this method saved me quite a bit of flour and gave me a chance to compare two or three different recipes side by side, all the while knowing my workflow, equipment, oven temp and any operator errors will equally effect my final products and not differ the outcome for the recipes. Anywho, just a thought.
Fantastic Norma! How soft was the crumb?John
Norma - Try mixing the dough fully until it is smooth, and skipping the malt (since the flour is already malted). This may give you a lighter crumb. I would be interested to see if that would help.John
Norma;On your formula sheet it shows the malt as being DIASTATIC. This is an active, (enzyme active) malt that should only be used with a non-malted flour, and even then, the recommended use level is only 0.25% of the total flour weight, not 2% as your formula shows. If the malt was non-diastatic you could use it at the 2% level without any problem. High malt levels will always result in a gummy, wet crumb structure, and in some cases it may also inhibit oven spring. My advice is to totally eliminate the diastatic malt form your dough formula.Tom Lehmann/The Dough Doctor
Norma, I ate most of the leftover pie last night. I think it was better reheated in the toaster oven than fresh. Nice and crispy on the bottom, but maybe a little greasy too, but not too much so. The crumb didn't get any lighter though, and I know that's what you were hoping for.

Never lose another of those pesky tubes!
If cans of spray lubricant came with built-in holsters to prevent their plastic applicator tubes from getting lost, Club member John Kriegshauser of Chicago, Illinois, wouldn�t have needed to try this new spin on an old trick. Before you lose one more applicator, take a 5-in. length of plastic soda straw, and starting 1-1/2 in. from the bottom, make two cuts as shown in the drawing. Fold the straw and tape it to the side of the can. The collapsed portion of the straw that results from the cuts creates a gentle pinching action that retains the applicator tube when it�s inserted, even if the can is turned upside down.

As a pre-solo student, I turned up at the airport one morning for a lesson on a day that was a bit windy. I don't recall what the winds were, but they were probably above 10 knots. My instructor took a look at the winds and canceled our flight. "You wouldn't learn anything," he said.
What he meant was that the newish sensations of an airplane moving around in reaction to strong, gusty winds would be daunting for a pre-solo student, and he was absolutely right. I'd likely have spent the entire lesson reacting to and then overcorrecting the movements of the airplane, and wouldn't have retained anything we were trying to accomplish. He did me and my wallet a favor that day. We spent the hour in ground school.
Later, of course, as I got a few more hours under my belt, we launched in breezy conditions. Even then–even though I knew what to expect, because we'd briefed it–I felt unprepared for the way the airplane seemed to rock and roll without control inputs from me. It was unnerving and uncomfortable. It was a little scary.
I asked a colleague–a CFI–if it was normal to feel this way, or was I being a baby? She could have laughed, but she didn't. She took the question seriously and told me to think about the airplane as if it were a boat, reacting to the movement of the water that surrounds it. This helped–a little. Hours of flight time and more exposure to winds helped too.
If we wait until it's absolutely calm to fly every flight, we'll stay on the ground a lot. Pilots who live in Oklahoma and Texas, where the winds seem to be a fact of life, get acclimated to them very quickly. Others may not. I've seen many new pilots confess they're still uncomfortable with the way the airplane feels when it bobs around. Are they being babies? No, but when the discomfort remains and starts to interfere with the learning process, that's when you need an intervention.
If something's bothering you in the cockpit, don't let it get the better of you. Tell your CFI, or a pilot friend, and get a second point of view. Schedule a flight lesson to tackle that particular issue. If the fear and anxiety start to outweigh the reward, and we don't do anything about it, we might be tempted to give it up. And that would be a shame. There are nice days ahead, beautiful days just beckoning you to take to the sky. Don't let a little wind stop you from enjoying them.–Jill Tallman

Dana Goldberg is a lesbian comedian who appeals to all — I like to think of her as a dirtier version of Ellen DeGeneres — making her a perfect headliner for the inaugural Off the Wall Comedy, Wall Street Nightclub's LGBTQA comedy night.
The first time you went on stage was in front of 650 people. Was that intimidating?
It was a show called "The Lesbians for Change Foundation," a big compiling of comedians, drag kings and the gay women's chorus. They gave me a seven minute set and I was terrified. When I went on stage I didn't touch the mic because I thought I would turn in to an amplifying vibrator.
I hit my first big joke and I heard the most deafening laughter. I went off stage and people were asking me, "How long have you been doing this." I was like, "45 minutes."
So you're a natural?
Yeah, my kindergarten teacher told my mother that I was the funniest five-year-old she'd ever met. I'm not sure what that means, but apparently it's always been in my blood. I was raised by a single-mother in a Jewish family, and two out of three kids are gay. So, it was either this or jail, or a lot of therapy — which actually still could happen.
Do you draw comedic inspiration from your family?
I think everyone's family is dysfunctional in a sense. Anyone who says theirs isn't concerns me. That's not a place I want to go for the holidays, if your family doesn't have some dysfunction.
They've definitely been inspiration and they're incredibly supportive. Every once in a while I'll tell a joke that probably makes my family cringe. Even my mother is really funny. I remember her being at one of my shows and having a cognitive thought on stage, "Oh my god, my mother is hearing this." And she came up to me after the show — I told jokes about sex toys and everything — and my mother goes, "Dana, brilliant show. Did you have to say I was 63 on stage?"

Steak with Bernaise
- For the sauce:
- 1/4 cup Champagne or white wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup good white wine
- 2 tablespoons minced shallots
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves, divided
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 3 extra-large egg yolks*
- 1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
- 6 (1-inch thick) rib eye steaks
- Olive Oil
- Coarsely ground black pepper
For the sauce, put the Champagne vinegar, white wine, shallots, 1 tablespoon tarragon leaves, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the mixture is reduced to a few tablespoons. Cool slightly.
Place the cooled mixture with the egg yolks and 1 teaspoon salt in the jar of a blender and blend for 30 seconds. With blender on, slowly pour the hot butter through the opening in the lid. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of tarragon leaves and blend only for a second. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon of white wine to thin. Keep at room temperature until serving.
Season the steaks liberally with salt and coarsely ground black pepper on both sides. Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large saute pan over high heat until it's almost smoking, then sear the steaks on each side for 1 minute. Lower the heat to low and cook the steaks for about 7 to 10 minutes, turning once, until very rare in the middle. Remove to a plate, cover tightly with aluminum foil and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Serve with the bernaise sauce on the side.
Note: To make the sauce in advance, prepare an hour before serving and allow it to sit in the blender. Before serving, add 1 tablespoon of the hottest tap water and blend for a few seconds.
Contains Raw Eggs: The Food Network Kitchen suggest caution in consuming raw and lightly cooked eggs due to the slight risk of salmonella or other food-borne illness. To reduce this risk, we recommend you use only fresh, properly refrigerated, clean grade A or AA eggs with intact shells, and avoid contact between the yolks or whites and the shell. For recipes that call for eggs that are raw or undercooked when the dish is served, use shell eggs that have been treated to destroy salmonella, by pasteurization or another approved method.

Coming Up
Soon I hit the road again, and this week I will be at Quail Ridge Books, Raleigh, NC, 7 PM Wednesday. Flyleaf Books, Chapel Hill, NC, 7 PM Thursday. Books & Books, Coral Gables, FL, 3 PM Saturday. Inkwood Books, Tampa, FL, 2 PM Sunday.
Next week---Tuesday, 4/27---- I'll be at the Brookline MA Public Library at 3:30 PM.
As you can tell, this is a very busy spring. Yesterday I took a break and Martin and I went with friends to see the Argentinian movie "The Secret in Their Eyes"---good movie, but I had to go back just now and look up the title, which means it is not a good title. You should be able to remember and say a title instantly, like JAWS.
Years ago---actually, 32 years ago!--- I wrote a book called FIND A STRANGER, SAY GOODBYE. Ever since then I have had people say to me, from time to time, "I loved your book, ah, 'Say Goodbye to—' or some variation thereof. See what I mean? Unwieldy title.

This week Glue Arts and Want2Scrap is teaming up to bring one amazing blog hop. Loved working with their products! For a complete list of supplies, enter to win a prize pack and see some amazing projects head on over to Glue Arts for more details! Also...today is Wednesday and time to share my Precious Remembrance project for this week...
Had fun combining Pink Paislee, Heidi Swapp, Lily Bee, Prairie Bird Boutique ribbon and felt pieces for this tag and card set.
Finding ways to incorporate these felt pieces from Fancy Pants that I collected awhile back. Love the soft touch, color and dimension that it brings to each piece. Also found that the heart stamp from Precious Remembrance fit perfectly in this little girl's hand from Pink Paislee. Well, that is it for now. I will be posting in my Etsy shop over the next couple of days. I will post my Etsy link on the side bar when I begin listing. Have a wonderful day and be back on Saturday with a giveaway!

Strategy: Below the Application: The High Risk of Low-Level Threats
Much of today's malware works on applications, exploiting code vulnerabilities in the software that employees use every day. But there is a growing number of attacks that work at the operating system level and below, enabling attackers to gain full control of devices at a root level and/or infect them before they fully boot. In this report, Dark Reading explains the ways in which low-level attacks—including the newest rootkits, RAM-level and other memory-level attacks, and OS kernel-level exploits—insinuate themselves into your systems and why they are particularly difficult to detect and flush out.

Website's security potentially risky
HHS secretary: 'Hold me accountable for the debacle'
WASHINGTON — Defending President Barack Obama's much-maligned health care overhaul in Congress, his top health official was confronted Wednesday with a government memo raising new security concerns about the trouble-prone website that consumers are using to enroll.
The document, obtained by The Associated Press, shows that administration officials at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services were concerned that a lack of testing posed a potentially "high" security risk for the healthcare.gov website serving 36 states. It was granted a temporary security certificate so it could operate.
Security issues are a new concern for the troubled healthcare.gov website. If they cannot be resolved, they could prove to be more serious than the long list of technical problems the administration is trying to address.
"You accepted a risk on behalf of every user . . . that put their personal financial information at risk," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius during questioning before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. "Amazon would never do this. ProFlowers would never do this. Kayak would never do this. This is completely an unacceptable level of security."
Sebelius countered that the system is secure, even though the site has a temporary certificate, known in government parlance as an "authority to operate." Sebelius said a permanent certificate will only be issued once all security issues are addressed.
Added spokeswoman Joanne Peters: "When consumers fill out their online . . . applications, they can trust that the information they're providing is protected by stringent security standards and that the technology underlying the application process has been tested and is secure. Security testing happens on an ongoing basis using industry best practices."
A security certificate is required before any government computer system can process, store or transmit agency data. Temporary certificates are allowable, but under specific circumstances.
Earlier, the secretary said she's responsible for the "debacle" of cascading problems that overwhelmed the government website intended to make shopping for health insurance clear and simple.
"Hold me accountable for the debacle," Sebelius said during a contentious hearing. "I'm responsible."
Sebelius is promising to have the problems fixed by Nov. 30, even as Republicans opposed to Obama's health care law are calling in chorus for her resignation. She told the committee that the technical issues that led to frozen screens and error messages are being cleared up.
Addressing consumers, Sebelius added, "So let me say directly to these Americans, you deserve better. I apologize."
The Sept. 27 memo to Medicare chief Marylin Tavenner said a website contractor wasn't able to test all the security controls in one complete version of the system.
"From a security perspective, the aspects of the system that were not tested due to the ongoing development, exposed a level of uncertainty that can be deemed as a high risk for the (website)," the memo said.
It recommended setting up a security team to address risks, conduct daily tests, and a full security test within two to three months of going live.
Healthcare.gov was intended to be the online gateway to coverage for millions of uninsured Americans, as well as those who purchase their policies individually. Many people in the latter group will have to get new insurance next year, because their policies do not meet the standards of the new law.

Thyroid antibodies lower
Posted by 5248958136506666715 on May 30, 2015
I had elevated antibodies against my thyroid, so my doctor recommended that I take a supplement with beta glucans, calcium d-glucarate, and Lactobacillus lysate. I substituted separate supplements because they were significantly less expensive than the combination product. Three months later, my latest blood test shows healthy levels of antibodies. My doctor suspects it's primarily the result of the beta glucans.
Amazing immune booster
Posted by Reviewer2123273 on Oct 14, 2009
I'm happy to report that Beta Glucans actually work and with no side effects! I've tried other immune boosters like vitamin C, zinc, echinacea, goldenseal, and andrographis. Some of them upset my stomach, and I was usually disappointed because I would catch whatever bug I was trying to avoid anyway. Since I've discovered Beta Glucans, I've been sick far less often, which for me is really saying something--I have lots of allergies that wear down my immune system, so I've always been sick a lot. Now that I take Beta Glucans, I've noticed that the duration of any illness I do get is much shorter, though I hardly ever get sick now. Beta Glucans seems to keep me healthy.

San Francisco, CA, October 11, 2007—Magdalena Del Valle has moved to the Corporate Banking Division of Mechanics Bank as Vice President and Senior Relationship Manager. She formerly was Vice President and Area Manager-Metro Area in the Retail Banking Division.
Ms. Del Valle's new responsibilities will be focused on developing customer relationships with middle market Commercial and Industrial clients for loans, treasury management and deposit products.
Ms. Del Valle has 28 years of banking experience, including nearly two decades in corporate and middle market lending. Prior to joining Mechanics Bank, she helped launch United American Bank in San Mateo, CA, a successful denovo bank where she served as Senior Vice President and Manager of Marketing, Cash Management and Deposit Services. Prior to that, she was Vice President and Regional Sales Manager for United California Bank in San Francisco, with oversight of 23 Bay Area Branches with deposits aggregating over $702 million.
She also has held senior positions with WestAmerica Bank in Walnut Creek, California; Sumitomo Bank in Los Angeles, California; Community Bank in Pasadena, California; Bank of The West, Oakland/San Francisco, California; and First Interstate Bank in Los Angeles, California.
"When she joined Mechanics Bank in 2003," said Mike Popovich, Senior Vice President, Corporate Banking, "Magdalena was assigned to help the bank open a San Francisco location. It was one of the bank's first expansions west from our traditional East Bay stronghold, and she was a tremendous asset in getting it off the ground. Because of her strong commercial lending background and understanding of the needs of middle and upper-middle market companies, she is a natural addition to the Corporate Banking Division."
"My goal is to identify all aspects of the client relationship where Mechanics Bank can truly add value," said Ms. Del Valle. "Being a trusted financial partner is more about understanding the history and dynamics of a company and its owners, being there for them when it counts, and consistently delivering high quality service. I have experience in and truly enjoy dealing with unique industries like contractors, digital/media, property management companies and public relations/advertising and marketing companies. We have the financial strength and staying power to be that trusted financial partner for them, yet we are local and community-based so we can also think outside the box when necessary. It's a powerful combination in today's turbulent financial climate."
Ms. Del Valle, who is a member of the Advisory Board of the San Francisco Center for Economic Development, and a member of the San Francisco Financial Women's Association, is a graduate of the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, and a resident of Moraga, CA. Outside of work, she enjoys travel and family related activities with her 11 year old daughter.
Mechanics Bank is headquartered in Richmond, California. The century-old family-owned community bank is one of the largest independent banks headquartered in Northern California, with more than $2.7 billion in assets.

Scientific field research, exploration, conservation, and adventure are the backbone of National Geographic's grants, which have led to countless discoveries that continue to shed light on the planet's rich variety and diversity—and help to preserve it. The results from fieldwork are shared with audiences around the world through an array of National Geographic media, including print, broadcast, and online outlets, as well as events, exhibitions, and educational platforms.
The Global Exploration Fund is a global initiative modeled on National Geographic's century-long approach to funding research, conservation, and exploration projects through targeted grant programs. Supported through funding partnerships, National Geographic plans to launch regional Global Exploration Funds around the world. Each fund will rely upon an intensive peer-review process to evaluate projects seeking funding and an advisory board of scientific and innovation experts to help guide the program to achieve regional priorities. The grantees and outcomes supported by the fund will benefit from National Geographic media and outreach.
National Geographic launched the Global Exploration Fund in 2011 in Sweden to extend support to scientists, conservationists, and explorers from the Northern Europe region who are advancing research and exploring solutions for the benefit of the planet. In 2012, the Global Exploration Fund expanded to China with a dedicated Air and Water Conservation Fund designed to focus China's most creative scientific and conservation talent on solving problems confronting the country's air and water resources.

Tonight we celebrate abstraction through music and art-making!
Friday Nights at the de Young are after-hours art "happenings" that include a mix of live music, dance and theater performances, film screenings, panel discussions, lectures, artist demonstrations, hands-on art activities, and exhibition tours. Local artists conduct drop-in workshops, debut new commissions, display their art in the Kimball Education Gallery, and take part in conversations about the creative process. The café offers a delicious Friday Nights prix-fixe menu and specialty cocktails, and the observation tower is open until 8 pm. Artist Fellows, Artists-in-Residence, curators, scholars, and arts educators all play an active role in making Friday Nights an engaging museum experience for all.
San Francisco Center for the Book presents abstract prints
with Lisa Rappoport, Donna Seager, and Adam Ewing.

Peggy Gyulai's work explores the connections between music and the expressive possibilities of paint on canvas. She approaches music as a subject, object, and inspiration, and, like Richard Diebenkorn, invokes the dynamic tension between abstraction and representation in order to create substance from the most ephemeral phenomena.

American Lambic - Spontaneous Fermentation
It is hard enough to brew a great sour ale when you know what microbes you are pitching, so why did I want to take on the additional challenge of souring a beer with unknown local microflora? I think it was some combination of the romance and curiosity of brewing a beer that gets its unique character from the area it is brewed (terroir). Some people suggest trying a smaller test batch first, but if I have to wait more than a year to see how the evaluation goes I might as well have five gallons to show for it.
Propagating the wild yeast I captured in my backyard and barrel room boosted my confidence, the starters had a surprisingly clean flavor with a hint of lactic tartness. Judging souring microbes after a few weeks can be dangerous since there are strains that may not have made their presence known by this point; I'll be interested to see how the flavor develops as the beer slowly ferments.
With 8.5 gallons of wort collected I started the 225 minute boil. I added three ounces cheesy 2007 Willamettes near the start (a generous addition of aged hops is helpful for a beer like this to slow the growth of spoilage microbes). When I tasted the wort I was surprised how little bitterness the hops imparted (although looking at them I shouldn't be too surprised), luckily none of their funky aromas carried over either.
After force chilling the wort I pitched about one quart from each of the two starter. While there was some yeast(?) that had flocculated to the bottom of the starter vessels I did not want to decant them because there were most likely numerous organisms that had not dropped out. Visible fermentation took about 24 hours to commence. During the first week I held the ambient temperature at 65 F to give the yeast the best chance to complete a healthy/calm primary fermentation, letting it rise slightly after that. The krausen was primarily composed of large, delicate bubbles (a sign that the strains at work are probably less flocculant than standard brewer's yeasts).
My plan is to leave this beer in the primary fermenter for the next 12-18 months. At that point, assuming it doesn't taste terrible, I'll bottle half of it as is and add a few pounds of (extremely bland) mulberries from the tree in my backyard to the remainder. If this batch is successful I may use it to start next year's Lambic, heading down the road to a truly wild house culture.

Sacch I - 30 min @ 150 (Infuse)
Sacch II - 30 min @ 162 (Infuse)
Mash Out - 10 min @ 169 (Return turbid portion)
3/24/11 Started spontaneous fermentation starters. 1.030, .5 oz aged hops, and 1/4 tsp nutrient: upstairs, backyard, and in the barrel room. Did not force chill, and put them in pots covered with cheesecloth. The next morning I moved them all inside and put them in growlers with airlocks.
Minor activity after a few days.
3 weeks later I tossed the upstairs (black mold) and stepped up the other two.
The outside had the best aroma and most active/flocculant yeast. The barrel room smelled a bit off, but seemed to be Brett (pellicle?).
Brewed 4/23/11 With Jaime, John, Brian B, and Martin
Wheat was whole/unmalted from the COOP, Pils was Best Malz.
Held the turbid portion @190 F before adding it back for the mash out.
Collected ~8.5 gallons of 1.032 runnings. Added 1 qrt of water with 30 min left in the boil since I was lower on volume than expected.
Ended up with 4.5 gallons post boil/chill/strain (surprisingly smooth, low bitterness), 1 qrt each of both ambient starters (light lemony tartness). Pitched at 70 F, only aeration was straining. Left in 6 gallon better bottle at 66 F ambient. No oak yet.
Good fermentation by 24 hours (big bubbles). Ambient had creeped up close to 70 F so I moved it to a 65 F fridge.
5/1/11 Moved the fermenter out of the fridge and attached an airlock. Still a bit of krausen, odd funky/yeasty smell.
10/29/12 Racked two gallons onto about two pounds of mulberries from my backyard. Bottled the rest with 1.75 oz of table sugar. No extra yeast, so it may take awhile to carbonate. FG 1.002.
3/21/13 Bottled the fruited portion, 2 gallons, with 1.5 oz of table sugar.
4/25/13 Tasting notes on the plain portion. Given where I live, the results are remarkably reminiscent of a Belgian lambic!
6/6/13 Tasting notes on the mulberry portion. More fruit character than I expected from eating the berries straight. Very drinkable, despite the crazy process.

Extraordinarily lavish, the Burj Al Arab bills itself as the world's only 'seven star' hotel. It stands 320 metres tall on its own artificial island just off Dubai's coastline. Every floor at the Burj al Arab has its own reception desk and butler service, and all "rooms" are actually duplexes.
The Burj Al Arab features an elegantly contoured sail-shaped exterior and highly extravagant interior. Dancing fountains, vast aquariums, vivid carpet designs, plenty of gold trimming and a startlingly blue-hued atrium (tall enough to accommodate the Dubai World Trade Centre) all conspire to make the Burj Al Arab a feast for the eyes.
The Burj Al Arab stands as a sight well worth seeing in its own right. There's stringent security at the gate, but non-guests can gain entry by reserving a table at one of the various eateries, all of which are excellent, although expensive.

In June 2006, the Loyola University Maryland's pastoral counseling program began its partnership with faculty at the Universidad de Alberto Hurtado, the Jesuit University in Santiago, Chile. Dr. Christine Gorigotia-Wittenberg, a recent graduate from Loyola's Psy.D. program, and Fr. Kevin Gillespie, S.J., president of St. Joe's University, were the first to go to Chile and teach several pastoral counseling classes.
In subsequent semesters, the following Loyola faculty have also been called upon to teach in Chile: Sharon Cheston, Beverly Eanes, Geraldine Fialkowski, Danielle LaSure-Bryant, and Thomas Rodgerson. The first of its kind in Latin America, this pastoral program will offer courses in psychology and spirituality that will enable its graduate students to receive the same concentration and integration of counseling and spirituality that students at Loyola have received for the past 30 years. Currently, "Crisis Intervention" and "Spirituality of Couples Relationships" is being taught by pastoral counseling faculty at the University.

Topic: Payment Acceptance Service Recommendations?
I hope this is the right area to post this. I tried the Rails mailing list but didn't get any traction. I need to add a cart and payment acceptance feature to an app. I'd like to use something like 2checkout to get the user's info and credit card number, then sending me back an authorization.
I mentioned 2checkout because they are one I am considering. Does anyone have experience with 2checkout or any of their competition?

The Balkan Gypsies are also known as the Balkan Romani. They are located in parts of Eastern Europe including Macedonia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Yugoslavia, and the Ukraine. There is even a significant community in China. Gypsies are the largest stateless people group that exist. Many times, the population count of Gypsies are inaccurate due to their nomadic lifestyle. Others do not possess identity cards because they fear discrimination or persecution.
Gypsies call themselves Rom, which in their language means "men." Rom is derived from the Indian word Dom, meaning "a man of low caste who gains his livelihood by singing and dancing." The Romani language, therefore, comes from the name the Gypsies call themselves.
Gypsies have their roots in India. They began spreading westward in the tenth century. By the fourteenth century, large Gypsy groups were established in the Balkan Mountains of Bulgaria. Some continued to live as nomads; others settled in permanent dwellings. Regardless of where they lived, though, to non-gypsies, they remained mysterious and distinct. Curiosity about them eventually led to hatred and discrimination. In the twentieth century, many Gypsies were killed by Nazis. Today, they are still discriminated against.
People often assume that all Gypsies have dark hair, complexion, and eyes; however, Balkan Gypsies sometimes have lighter skin and even blond hair and blue eyes. This is probably because their ancestors mixed with Europeans. Unlike the Gypsies who have remained in India, many of the Balkan Gypsies have become settled. They often live in villages or near towns and cities. Some still travel, though, by caravans of cars, trucks, and trailers.
In the past, Gypsies were not allowed to own land, so they began developing unique occupations which they still do today. These included such things as fortune-telling, horse trading, market vending, entertaining, acrobatics, and metal and wood working. They are especially known for their musical abilities and dancing. Many sing and play instruments at weddings, baptisms, and festivals. Unfortunately, they are also known as beggars and thieves. Petty theft (usually by children), begging, and black market peddling sometimes provide families with income. This reputation has caused much discrimination against them. In many countries, they are last in line for jobs. Some of the women work as domestic helpers, but are paid very low wages and given no health benefits. Many have insufficient housing and unsatisfactory medical attention.
Values such as justice, fidelity, and morality are included in the Gypsy code of ethics. The chief loyalty of a Gypsy is to his family members, who are extremely important to him. Extended family members usually live together, and those who live in separate homes often telephone or make daily visits to each other.
Marriages are sometimes arranged by the parents, and young couples usually marry while in their mid to late teens. Often, they prefer to elope rather than to have a wedding ceremony. Purity before marriage is something of great value to them.
Their uniqueness of lifestyle clearly separates them from non-gypsies. For instance, it is the fascinating manner in which a Gypsy wears his clothes: as a costume or as a statement; the unusual ways he uses his automobile: as a home, a shop, or a shrine; the unique method in which he works: with great skill or eccentric style, that sets him apart. All of these things make Gypsies interesting, mystical, and sometimes misunderstood.
Many Gypsies have maintained their religious traditions and beliefs. They believe that ghosts, lizards, and snakes are capable of harming humans. They believe that men have the power to curse others by giving them the "evil eye." They also believe that some men have the power to heal the sick.
Although they may be more sanitary, more educated, and have more opportunities than gypsies in the Middle East and India, they all have one thing in common: the need for Jesus. Prayer and evangelism efforts are needed in order to win them to Christ.
* Pray that the people who have been rejected and discriminated against will find love and acceptance through Christ.
* Ask the Lord to raise up people who are willing to share Christ with they Gypsies.
* Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of the Gypsies towards Christians so that they will be receptive to the Gospel.
* Ask the Lord to raise up people who are willing share Christ with the Gypsies.
* Pray that the people who have been rejected and discriminated against will find love and acceptance through Christ.
* Ask God to strengthen, encourage, and protect the small number of Gypsies who have become Christians.
* Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of the Gypsies towards Christians so that they will be receptive to the Gospel.
* Pray that God will give the missions agencies strategies for reaching the Gypsies.
* Ask the Lord to raise up strong local churches among the Balkan Gypsies.

Weir comments on coaching decision
To the editor:
This is in response to The Journal article concerning the hiring of a new Legion Gold coach for this season. Bryce Boelter and I were looking forward to coaching again this summer. In three seasons we went to the state tournament three years, posting a 6-6 record in those three state tournament appearances. We received many compliments (on) how the players played the game the right way. They were very good representatives of NU Legion baseball.
It all started with an article in The Journal last September. We expressed concern about the dwindling number of ballplayers in Junior baseball. We met with their board to discuss the issue and offered some ideas. The article also contained the idea that it is unfortunate not all kids received the same quality of coaching.
Next was a monthly board meeting with the Legion baseball committee. Apparently a number of board members were upset with what they referred to as disrespect showed to them when asked to explain the reason behind the article.
Next was the coaches hiring meeting. I was hired. The committee also passed a resolution to approve the hiring of all assistant coaches. Not all committee members were in agreement with this. To my knowledge, assistant coaches have never had to be approved by this committee in the history of New Ulm Legion baseball.
At the following meeting I expressed my desire to have Bryce as my assistant for the fourth year in a row. The vote came back 9-6 to not approve. In three years I have not received any negative feedback from parents, players, umpires or opposing coaches. If some of the committee members had a problem with our coaching style, I would think something should have been brought to our attention immediately. There are also end-of-season unsigned parent/player evaluations. There was no negative feedback from those evaluations. Following this meeting I stated I would not coach without Bryce as the assistant. Twenty-four hours later I reconsidered and asked to be reinstated. I was approved by the coaching committee, but not by the president of the baseball committee
Also at the meeting to approve Bryce, an unsigned letter was produced and read by a committee member. It stated players would not play if we were the coaches. It turns out four players and their parents were responsible for the letter. It appears a very small percentage of players and parents are dictating who will be the coaches.
We were told we would not be rehired because some of the committee members wish to take the Legion baseball program in a different direction.
These are the facts as to why we are not coaching legion baseball this summer.
It was an honor to be the Legion Gold coach for the past three years. I wish to thank the players, parents and committee members who supported us during those years.
I also wish to thank the members of the baseball committee and Legion Post who wanted us rehired for a fourth year.
