The VP vetting begins as a result of bloggersPosted Monday, September 1, 2008, at 4:56 PM
One of the great things about the internet and blogs is that the individual can have a voice that is heard around the world. One of the drawbacks is that it shows the both the great side of humanity as well as the seamy side. There is very little way to know what is truth or not and very little accountability for accuracy.
Some have chosen to imply that Governor Palin's youngest child is actually their daughter's. This has resulted in the Palins making a private matter, very public by stating that their 17 year old daughter is in fact five months pregnant, plans to have the baby and also plans to marry the father.
Mr. Obama made a statement that he firmly believes in family being off-limits adds that he does not condone it and will fire any of his workers if he finds someone behind this. I believe him and that should be that, but the press is running with it.
I believe we suffer when many qualified candidates shy away from public service because so much of their family's privacy will be lost. Is family off limits?

I do not think so. I think every family has some problems. I see no reason to hide from them. If everyone would finally realize that no family is perfect, we may find ourselves being less judgmental. I also believe that how a person relates to their family speaks volumes about their character. For example, I do wonder why this pregnant daughter was not in the public eye before. It sounds to me as if she has been dug up from her previously hidden position by some investigative reporter, but I do not know anything about the specifics. It was all news to me. I personally am more bothered about the apparent dishonesty than the daughter that put herself in a difficult position. We are all human after all.

Funny how the very same right-wing Neo Cons were lambasting Clinton for his alleged affair... they didn't want that to be a private matter, in fact it was about the only negative thing they could blame on Clinton :)
When the tide turns, suddenly someone is entitled to respect because it is a private matter. Can't have it both ways, regardless of the fact that she's 17. If this were Obama's daughter, each and everyone of those Conservative pundits would have a field day. They want respect now? Hmmm... Maybe they should practice what they preach?
-- Posted by nascarfanatic on Mon, Sep 1, 2008, at 8:14 PM
All about family values and morals.. Uh huh. Look I am the LEAST judgmental person you will meet, but I don't want to have the party of morals, which tries in vain to legislate morality tell me or anyone how we should live our lives, when they can't do the same in their own home.
This isn't about liberals disrespecting a personal issue, it is about the issue of hypocrisy. Someone who fights corruption, injustice and instills Christian beliefs is all well and good, until those beliefs she instills are not even practiced at home. Again, nobody is perfect, and quite frankly the fact their her daughter is 17, unmarried and pregnant should be a private issue, but how many of you have gossiped about local girls in the very same situation. I can only imagine, in this part of the country, it happens more than you'd like to admit.
Again, the fact the the teenager is pregnant doesn't even bother me, at all... It is just ironic that the Conservatives are asking the national media (CNN, Fox News, NBC, etc) to keep this private but in her very own home state, it is the largest news event.
Also ironic, as governor she wanted abstinence programs taught in public schools, in fact she was a HUGE advocate for it... Makes me wonder, did she teach abstinence at home? Sex education is a million times more beneficial than telling a auditorium full of hormonal teenagers to be scared of sex, obviously ;)

A synopsis of Alaskan Politics:
"Ted Stevens, the longest serving Republican in U.S. Senate history, faces trial later this month for allegedly lying on federal disclosure forms to hide $250,000 in gifts from VECO Corp. The state's only congressman, Rep. Don Young, also is under investigation. Five former and current state lawmakers have either been sentenced to federal prison or await trial on bribery and conspiracy charges."
And now we have Gov. Sarah Palin ;)

Nascarfanatic . . . while I agree what Clinton did was a private affair and the media and Republicans made too much of an issue of it but he is an adult and can handle it. Palin's daughter is still a child and this really is a private matter and this situation unfortunately happens across America. I respect Palin for taking on the issue and still loving her child and standing behind her. That is a true mother and I can only respect that.
Darrick_04 . . . are you a parent? If not, then don't be so fast to judge. While she may have been for abstinence, Palin actually never forced the issue in Alaska and allowed schools to choose their own methods of education and many schools taught sex education. Still though, we can teach our children all we want but they will always make bad judgments because they are human and immature. We can only hope they learn what we teach them and go through life making all the right decisions. They don't always do that though and how they recover from that says a lot about them.
And really, this whole issue is about LIBERAL BLOGGERS basically using a private issue to act stupid and discuss family matters and gossip instead of real issues and problems. I am sorry, I may not like the Republican party but I do not like the fact that Democrats have become more or less a gossip machine and pulling stupid stunts like this. People need to start acting like real adults and start taking on real problems and issues.

Also Vindicated . . how is Palin's daughter being pregnant even compared to what has happened to Stevens and Young?
That kind of statement by you just proves how ignorant politics and certain bloggers have become. It saddens me that instead of talking about REAL ISSUES, we are talking about something like this.
Oh well, no wonder we get stuck with horrible politicians because people would rather mouth off stupidity and not deal with real issues.

If you were to have sex or even so much as verbally sexually harass someone at your job...on the job...would you not be fired? I know I would.
Bill Clinton's misconduct in the Oval Office was hopefully not on the job training. If you want to have sex or an affair on your own property, time, or in a hotel somewhere is one thing, but on the job...in the Oval Office...the people's office is another. Talking about our tax dollars at work...
Don't get me wrong, I like Bill, and actually did not let his over active libido and sexual weakness keep me from voting him Prez both times. However, Palin's situation is a whole different case...does not even parallel with Bill's.
I am a parent. I try to raise my children to be abstinate & remain virgins knowing that they still might mess up. It is only natural for teenagers to rebel. Sometimes we get lucky with our kids...sometimes we have a prodigal child.
On CNN, Obama stated:
Sen. Barack Obama said firmly that the news should not have any bearing on the campaign for president.
"Let me be as clear as possible," Obama said. "I think people's families are off-limits, and people's children are especially off-limits. This shouldn't be part of our politics. It has no relevance to Gov. Palin's performance as governor or her potential performance as a vice president."
I totally agree with Obama & admire him & McCain for at least trying to run respectful campaigns even though the media & campaign members do not.

How old is the father??? That is what I want to know...
-- Posted by Disturbia on Mon, Sep 1, 2008, at 9:54 PM
I look at it this way - her daughter is not running for office. I respect the daughters privacy and it should be not be headline news. I did not agree with Clinton's affair(s), but at the same time I didn't like anytime the press has tried to question Chelsea about it. I also think the Clinton's did a good job of raising a teenage daughter in the public eye and for the most part let Chelsea be a teenager, even if I didn't agree with their politics.

Perhaps because many parents would file sexual battery charges... Or it could be considered rape, regardless of it being consensual.

I stand corrected: I voted for Bill Clinton both times. Although I did not agree with his sexual exploits in our Oval Office, I did not wish to see him impeached & frankly would not have minded if his disgraceful incident were not swept under the rug to keep from humilitating our entire country & to protect not only Chelsea but all the other young citizens of our country.

By the time I got back to this post and wrote something XOXO and Sharon22 have already said most of it. Thanks.

Vindicated . . . Palin sounds like she has morals because she is standing by her daughter and loving her and is going to help her with the baby. Isn't that what any "moral" person does? You can have morals and teach them all day to your children but sometimes you can't control what they do outside of the house. A mistake was made by the daughter and will learn the hard way how those actions have consequences but it is nice to see that Palin loves her daughter and is standing beside her and still being a mother. I respect that.
What happened there has nothing to do with the message of the party . . . a party can not be judge by the action of one person because if that is the case, then all Democrats are adulterers due to Clinton's infidelities in the White House. You see how that works?
I wish people would actually use their brains instead of playing these childish name games and see who can one up the other. That is why this country is in such bad shape . . . we play childish political games instead of dealing with real issues and solutions and unfortunately people like Vindicated are just as much part of the problem.
-- Posted by jaxspike on Tue, Sep 2, 2008, at 7:44 AM
Everyone is always part of the problem. When I, and others wanted to focus on the issues, you didn't. Now, that we are still focusing on this issues of contradiction and hypocrisy, you still don't... Not surprised.

Her daughter made a mistake, let it go!
The Lord forgives mistakes , we should to!

At least she has morals and sticks with them.
The media needs to back off.

Vindicated . . . I always focus on the problems. I usually always vote for the Democratic party but this year I am not voting for either party because the choices for president are a joke.
If you want to subscribe to the usual rhetoric then be my guest . . . I would rather make informed decisions and talk about real issues instead of following party propaganda which you seem to be doing.
Sad really . . . I guess it's easier to be a follower and a robot than to actually think for yourself.

Wasn't McCain and Palins campaign "The Ones" that put this information of her daughter having a baby out?
Wasn't this all suppose to be an effort to go ahead and let the public know about her, her family, their past, and air-out rumors on the internet about Palins Down-syndrome child being her daughters (Bristol)?
The media and people are the ones that are making a "Big Deal" over this. Barack Obama is totally against it. Saying that "Family is OFF_LIMITS" and that they are not the ones running for President. And will not allow his campaign to do this type of messages.
Ditsurbia, The father of Bristols baby is being kept private, the only information they are giving is his name "Levi", for privacy. I doubt they will press any charges on him if he is older, because they expect him to marry her.
As far as Steves' question: "Is Family's Off Limits" if they are in the publics eye, the Media will print anything and everything they can find that will be news worthy. That is how they make their living.
-- Posted by Momof3&3step&1gran on Tue, Sep 2, 2008, at 12:58 PM
You can't compare Clinton & Palin's daughter. He was in public office, married, and getting favors from a young aid or whatever she was. I think the Palins taught their daughter when you make a mistake you own up to it. She is taking responsibility for her actions. We all can teach our children abstinence, but in the end it is their choice. All our children make bad decisions, there is NO perfect family
-- Posted by greeneyes on Tue, Sep 2, 2008, at 1:09 PM
I have a member of my family that was raised in a good home that tried to teach him right from wrong, love and compassion and everything else we try to teach our children. He breaks the law frequently, doesn't take care of his child and is truly better off in jail. Now my question is... Should his parents be held accountable for his choices in life? After all they did everything they could to make him a productive citizen. It was his bad choices.
Palin may have been doing the right things all along but she should'nt be crucified for her daughters choices. They could have hid it all by an abortion, but chose to take a higher road.
As for Clinton, I had a harder time with dealing with his affair because that was on him. If a man cannot be faithful and true to his own family {which should be top priorty} then how could I expect him to do right by me, an American citizen?
Whichever way the vote goes, I hope our next president will try fix some of the wrong done by those before him!

John McCain picked Sarah Palin to get the enthusiastic support of the evangelical, radical right. He didn't think it would matter that she has no national experience because he perceived he could argue Obama didn't either.
A big miscalculation. Obama presented himself for 17 months to the American people, they heard him debate more than a dozen times, they made their own decision that he was ready for the job and the Democrats voted him their nominee.
Obama wasn't unilaterally appointed by a party's nominee in a transparent play for the evangelical and female vote. As if Sarah Palin could fill Hillary Clinton's shoes by virtue of her gender. As if women wouldn't see that Sarah Palin is the antithesis of Hillary Clinton on issues. As if anything would evoke Palin's lack of qualifications more than to compare them to Hillary's.
John McCain went for a twofer because his campaign was in trouble. He had failed to excite his base with only 60 days to go. He took a risky shortcut to try to catch up, trying to get two birds with one stone. It's backfiring big-time.
Every tv anchor tonight is asking his surrogates what makes Palin qualified. It's the story with the longest legs. Not one of them has anything but a laughable answer. All they can cite is her 1 1/2 years as Governor and her position as chief of the Alaska National Guard. Then they say she's as experienced as Obama. The Democratic pundits on tv are making mincemeat of that argument.
Voters now know Obama. They vetted him during the course of the campaign. 18 million Democrats voted he was their choice. Voters don't know Palin from Adam. What they do know: She's under investigation in Alaska and she's got no relevant experience. And that only now, after selecting her, is McCain sending his team to Alaska to fully vet her.
Voters are left with only two conclusions: Either McCain didn't vet Palin which is shockingly, near-criminally negligent or he did vet Palin and still picked her, which has got to be the most desperate, jaw-droppingly reckless political move in decades.
Sarah Palin is not ready for prime-time or the Vice-Presidency, let alone to be one heartbeat away from the Oval Office."I think she will crash and burn faster than any national candidate in recent memory."
Obama doesn't have to say a thing. The media and public will do it for him.
As I'm typing this, Obama is being interviewed by Anderson Cooper about Gustav. Anderson's last question was how he would answer those who say that Gov. Palin, as mayor of a small town and Gov. of Alaska, has more experience than he does. He didn't miss a beat. He smiled and said Palin's town of Wasilia, Alaska had 50 employees. His campaign has 2500. The town's budget is about $12 million a year. His budget is 3 times that per month. He cited the legislation he's passed on emergency management post-Katrina and that many recommendations he made were adopted and are being put in place as we speak.
-- Posted by Vindicated on Tue, Sep 2, 2008, at 9:49 PM
Times Magazine:
"It's important to know Palin raised taxes as governor, supported the Bridge to Nowhere before she opposed it, pursued pork barrel projects as mayor, tried to ban books at the local library, and thinks the war in Iraq is 'a task from God. The attempts from the McCain campaign into bullying us from reporting such things are not only stupidly aggressive but unprofessional to the extreme."
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Wed, Sep 3, 2008, at 10:51 PM
I first learned that Palin tried to have books removed from the Wasilla Public Library tonight on the NBC Nightly News. When she became mayor she asked the librarian what the process was to have books banned from the library and threatened to fire the librarian if she did not remove the books that Palin wanted removed. Pathetic!

In 2004, the Republican Attack Machine called changing your mind on politics "flip-flopping"... Now, it's "evolving" LOL, nice spin! But what is the difference? I personally think changing your mind is perfectly NORMAL in politics, it happens all the time, after all a good compromise is essential to maintaining dialogue ;) But, don't accuse Democrats of "flip-flopping" when it's obvious your own V.P. candidate is guilty of the same.
Watch this video closely... Facts you probably didn't know.
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Wed, Sep 3, 2008, at 11:39 PM
After last night, I was SURE the press would have a field day chewing her up, but the first few cuts from all the morning news shows were surprisingly complimentary.
Even after the speech I sensed a combination of angst and surprised admiration in Katie's C's voice. She looked to her other analysts to do some critiquing but it all came out positive. They seemed surprisingly short on words and were saved by John McCain coming on stage to say a few words.
I have no doubt that this will change, but it was super. This might finally be an exciting campaign season.
-- Posted by stevemills on Thu, Sep 4, 2008, at 11:05 AM
I'll say it again, great speech, in that she did what was expected of her... But the simple fact that she didn't even know what she was talking about was obvious... A few of the cut-downs I'm sure she hand selected, but the majority of the speech was to keep us in the mindset of fear, propaganda and lies, as though those are substantive issues.
I want to hear Gov. Palin tell us a lot more of what she accomplished than selling the jet on Ebay. I don't discredit her experience, in fact I personally think experience has led to the demise of Washington.... But, Steve you can not credit her with a "good speech" when thus far, that's all we've seen, just like with Obama.

-- Posted by Vindicated on Thu, Sep 4, 2008, at 7:28 PM
No doubt she has a lot of proving and there are different stages for different subjects. I believe she was supposed to show a little of her style and fire up the convention, which she did.
The debates and interviews in the future will tell us much more about what she knows, understand and how she thinks. I am just enthused because she is a breath of fresh air in the party. Much as many are enthused about Obama.
At first I was split about mid-way for Obama and McCain, even though I am primarily conservative, but as I learned more about both, I started leaning toward McCain.
Obama does not ring true to me. There are too many questionable people around him and though many deny it, you are somewhat a reflection of the company you keep.
I know some radicals and possible some who are anarchists, but I do not hang around with them, nor would I continue to go to a church where the minister is preaching as his did. People change churches all the time and I can not believe he could not find one more to his philosophy, so you have to wonder why he stayed.
There could be other reasons than that he agreed with the minister, but the ones I can think of are not complimentary. One such idea is that the members were influential and Mr. Ombama wanted those connections. I am not sure that this is a reason I would allow my children to be raised in a church who's pastor, the leader of the church preaches hatred.
Although McCain does not always impress me, I am more comfortable with his views and approach. Palin is the one I have most hopes for and as I have said in another post, I will be deeply disappointed if she turns out to be someone other than I think.
I don't expect her, or her family to be more than human, but I expect her to be honest. The fact that she did not proclaim her daughter's pregnancy does not bother me. She knew it would surface, but why drag her daughter into this. This way the public or press drug her into it, not her mother.
If she had lied and said she was not pregnant, it would be a check mark against her. She seems upfront with this investigation into the trooper issue, so unless she lies to us about it, I take her word for it. Trusting? Yes, but as I think it should be unless we find out something else that proves she lied. Naive? I'm a little too old for that.

Well, why don't we just agree that none of our vaunted brilliant, elected officials serve no useful purpose and are in the job just to serve their own greedy interests. That being the case, when they have served long enough to start really ripping us off, just vote another one in who will at least for a few years try to help. Who knows, we might actually get someone eventually who cares for the people who elected them. I'm not sure, but I think there are a few in the senate and congress that may have been embalmed and propped at their desks. (sarcasm off)

Almost ANY job can dull you senses after enough time and I agree that WE should rotate our representatives. The problem is that we do not seem to do that.
A few of our elected officials have served then stepped back down and I appreciate that. They were probably goods ones that could have had another term or two in them before their sense dulled, but fro whatever reason, they stepped aside.

Well...as I have mentioned before....I have been on the fence about who to vote for our next President. Unfortunately, we are not one of the top 11 states and the controlling majority with only 11 electoral votes. Tennesse has not carried the Dems since Clinton. Unless there is a significant change of opinion in this state, it seems like a vote for Obama is not going to really matter. However, I like Obama & admire him for being a quick study & making it this far with such a fresh new record to stand on. Moreover, John McCain has a lifelong history of serving our country to the point of facing life or death.
After the GOP convention on TV, I could not help but find tears in my eyes and my heart & conscience told me that John McCain has all ready earned this position with his lifelong service. John McCain & Sarah Palin are mavericks...no doubt...they are ready to lead this nation & not only stand up to our enemies abroad, but stand up to the corruption & waste that we are all sick & tired of, yet do not have the power to do anything about in Washington.
For me, it's M.C. CAIN IN THE HOUSE...lol...

Another less than half truth:
Palin Derangement Syndrome strikes again. This time it's hysterical librarians and their readers on the Internet disseminating a bogus list of books Gov. Sarah Palin supposedly banned in 1996. Looks like some of these library people failed reading comprehension. Take a look at the list below and you'll find books Gov. Palin supposedly tried to ban�that hadn't even been published yet. Example: The Harry Potter books, the first of which wasn't published until 1998.
The smear merchants who continue to circulate the list also failed to do a simple Google search, which would have showed them that the bogus Sarah Palin Banned Book List is almost an exact copy-and-paste reproduction of a generic list of "Books Banned at One Time or Another in the United States" that has been floating around the Internet for years. STACLU notes that the official Obama campaign website is also perpetuating the fraud. And it's spread to craigslist, where some unhinged user is posting images likening Palin to Hitler. Here it is again.
The person who first spread the Palin smear is identified as "Andrew Aucoin," a commenter on the blog of librarian Jessamyn West. West has done the right thing in keeping the bogus comment up and pointing out in her main post that "there appears to be no truth to the claim made by the commenter, and no further documentation or support for this has turned up."
It's a fake. Not true. Total B.S. A lie.
If it gets sent to you by a moonbat friend or family member, set 'em all straight. Fight the smears. They've only just begun.

Actual quote from "The Audacity of Hope" page 261:
Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

And let the mind opening begin. Obama was attacked from the very get go from "Christians" themselves, not practicing very Christian like actions... Spreading lies, hate, rumors, deceit, fear, and half truths was the only defense they had. Ironically, of the two Senators Obama is actually more devout than McCain... McCain had been Episcopalian for 27+ years, and in South Carolina during the primaries he suddenly became a Baptist. Hmm...

By attending a church full of racism and hate, he is supporting that viewpoint. If someone was a member of the KKK for 20yrs wouldnt it be safe to assume they were in agreement with those viewpoints, even if they didnt say so.
I am a devout christian, and I am not spreading hate. I dont want him to be president for the obvious reasons. I dont hate the man, I just dont think he is any where close to being fit to run this country. I believe in my heart he will destroy whats left of this country.

Contrary to some opinions, I believe many of us have open minds. I chose not to post the quote because I wanted to see the full statement. The full statement was NOT the same as the quote, so it was definitely altered and biased. If possible, I will not participate in known fabrications.
That does not necessarily mean that I am close to voting for Obama. Several of his verbal slips, from his own lips, still have me concerned, but that is not the reason I would not vote for him.
I am concerned about his ability to make decisions, his lack of experience, his VERY short term in national office before he started a run for the Presidency, his extremely liberal ideas and more.
Before the comparison is made with Gov. Palin and her short term as Governor, I believe she ran with the intention of being Governor. Mr. Obama seemed to have the Oval Office in sight even as he ran for the Senate, which I think was unfair to his constituents. Just an opinion folks based on actions, not from reading his mind.

If only McCain had this idea of a "surge" in the right country... Just another example of forgetting why this "War on Terror" was started... And you question Obama's judgment?
-- Posted by Disturbia on Wed, Sep 10, 2008, at 9:13 PM
Yup, I question Obama's judgment, his reasons for wanting to be President, and who is influencing him. I am not convinced that HE is really running the show.
-- Posted by stevemills on Thu, Sep 11, 2008, at 8:15 AM
I am not one for conspiracy theories, but start looking at Obamas college years and who was supporting him then. Alot of questions he wont let anyone ask will tell you alot about who can influence him.

Unless of course that conspiracy theory is against Obama...
-- Posted by Disturbia on Thu, Sep 11, 2008, at 10:11 PM
Are you even capable of thinking for yourself, or are you just here to make people mad? Are you so brainwashed by Obama that you refuse to even look into a candidates past.
-- Posted by greasemonkey on Fri, Sep 12, 2008, at 1:47 PM
Right... Gotta love how you completely change the subject ;) "I am not much for conspiracies... BUT".... I've researched Obama's past very in depth actually. As have I researched McCain's, Biden's, and Pitbull Palin.
I can't go into depth about how many things McCain has changed position on since the beginning of his career... Do you remember in 2004 when John Kerry was LAUGHED at for his Vietnam service, by the very same folks who write McCain/Palin speeches today, whom also never cared a thing about McCain's "heroism" in 2000, when they helped propel Bush to the Whitehouse? Right.. Do you remember they called him a "flip-flopper" on issues, and now it is called "maverick"... You take two men who have done nearly IDENTICAL things, and the entire nation laughed at one, while we praise the other. It is absolutely absurd, and I think it is hysterical that you would call me brainwashed when I GUARANTEE you, you knew none of what I just told you, until now.

Hmmmk... exactly what questions will he "not allow" or is that more ridiculous rhetoric?
-- Posted by Disturbia on Fri, Sep 12, 2008, at 10:55 PM
How does one compare McCain's military service to Kerry's and call it identical? But Kerry is not running against McCain.
Instead it is someone who has NO military experience because in his words, there was not a war going on? Somehow Obama does not strike me as an aggressive warrior who lives to fight wars, so what do our analysts think he meant by that?
Changing one's mind does not bother me since hopefully we learn from our experiences, but changing it because of the polls (for either side) does bother me. Standing firm on your core values impress me, and again for either side.
-- Posted by stevemills on Sun, Sep 14, 2008, at 12:51 PM
I think the point of that post was to emphasize that NOBODY from the Right considered Kerry's war hero status as a qualifying reason to be President... now suddenly it is the same folks who dismissed that service four years ago who lavish in praise for McCain's heroism, and believe without a doubt that that reason alone is what makes him "qualified"... well, if that is the case then why didn't the Republicans understand that in 2004 when you had a Vietnam Veteran running against a draft dodger?
-- Posted by darrick_04 on Sun, Sep 14, 2008, at 12:59 PM
I checked out snopes.com which does a pretty good job of checking out the rumor mill. Kerry did serve in Vietnam and did ligitimatly earn the medals, but out of all the medals he only missed 2 days of service. Per Kerry's words he was "walking wounded" and after his third wound was transferred to New, York as an aide to a rear admiral. I'm not downing Kerry's service, but that does not quite compare to being a prisoner of war like McCain. I'm very proud of my Dad's service during WWII, but he never saw a lick of action. The closest he came was being 2 days out of Pearl Harbor when it was bombed. We had some great men that lost their limbs, were wounded, or lost their lives, that does not diminish my Dad's service, but I believe that gave more than my Dad did.

Actually I knew everything you posted, as did everyone on here I am sure. It sure wasnt breaking news, or anything that takes "in depth" research.
Why do you continue to tell me about McCain? How many times do I have to tell you that I already know, and I am not voting for nor am I supporting McCain? I dont like McCains history for promoting big govt, and I can not vote for him because of his stance on illegal immigration. I cant agree with him about global warming either. There is more I dont like about McCain then I do like. So there you go I have said it again for the millionth time.
What I want to know is what does Obama offer that makes people want to follow him blindly. He has no experience, his past has some shady parts (alot of questions there he wont allow to be asked) and on the issues he plans to destroy our already weakened country. When I question his policies, I get told I am promoting "hate, fear and racism".
So being you are so fond of "CHANGE", why dont you try to change your tactics and put the Kool Aid down and try to think for yourself.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (66 votes).
In short: Mud and hills with tea and cake, excellent!In full: Another well organised MVP from PJC, I loved it! Slightly disappointed that we didn't go all the way to the top of Butser Hill (SSSI now), but the incredibly slippery mud towards the top of the new route up added to the challenge. Several of us were trying to hang on to the fence to stay upright - the rain (just started) was helping 'oil' the path up nicely! I did enjoy the new section on Old Winchester Hill, I think it more than made up for taking out the long, slow drag up Butser. The tea at the Butser water station was very welcome, by that point I was drenched and quite chilly! I did notice that the rum hadn't been all that popular though... To conclude, a brilliant off-road race, lots of gratuitous hills, mud, glorious scenery, friendly and enthusiastic marshals (thank you all for your support!), well supplied water stations (love the option of cake, banana and jelly babies) and good organisation. I'm hoping to back again next year... :)Date of review: March 16, 2011
In short: hill, hill, hill, hill, rain, mud, hill, mud, rain, wind, mud, muddy hill, mud, cup of tea (mmmm), muddy rainy blowy hill In full: The hills made this a tough race, replacing any flat bit with muddy tracks made it damn right crazy, it pretty much broke me.Very friendly & well stocked water stations (wet jelly babies actually taste quite nice).I'll be back to exorcise some demons.Date of review: March 15, 2011
In short: Excellent fun, tough hills and mud, good grub and friendly marshalls, definate for next year.Date of review: March 10, 2011
In short: mud, hills, puddles, and weather all impeccably organisedIn full: If you ever need to find out how good your George Michaels are, enter this race. The ups, the downs, the mud, the puddles, the cake, the weather will all test you, your kit and your resolve. rest assured the Marshalls will look after you on the coures, the boot boys will clean and undo your shoes, and the tea ladies will feed and water you with all manner of lovely stuff. why are you waiting? put it in your diary NOW.Date of review: March 6, 2011
In short: Not for the faint heartedIn full: Hills, mud and more mud. If you're training for a mara, will put a bit if steel in the legs.Date of review: March 6, 2011
In short: IIt was tough so I felt that I'd really achieved something worthwhileIn full: Even though at one point I was last the scenery and support of the marshalls got me going up the field. I should have worn trail shoes but it was so muddy it probably didn't matter. The rain just added to the cool feeling I got when I saw the finish. I've done it before 10 years ago but it must get better with age. Excellent day thanks to all the organisers and marshalls - well worth the effort and entry fee.Date of review: March 5, 2011
In short: This is a tuff but very rewarding race, well organised and you are well looked after all the way round with food and drink and encouragment.In full: Very muddy and hilly, (but not as it has been in previous years i am told)I found the hills etc detracted from the fact you were running such a long distance, much more interesting than a road race. Marshalls cheer you on instaed of standing looking miserable and pointing like they do at some races. So well organised there are people to wash your shoes off at the end and undo your laces. Cakes and hot drinks at the end were great as well. Top marks Portsmouth Joggers.Date of review: March 4, 2011
In short: Mud and more mud!In full: I have got to say this was the hardest race I have every done. It was very challenging with all those hills and running in ankle deep mud was no fun. I quit twice at 10 miles and again at 17 miles. The thing that keep me going was the motivation of other runners and the Marshall's without them I would never had achieved this race. I can't thank the sweepers enough making sure myself and George crossed that finished line. A well organised day and think after this run the London Marathon will be a breeze. Thanks PJC for a rewarding but tough day. I will be wearing my medal with pride. Trust me though I will never ever do this run again. Anyone that is up for a challenge though must give it a go it is well worth doing and the views are amazing. Good luck to all you plodders next year I will be there but as a Marshall cheering you all on.Date of review: March 2, 2011
In short: Even more mud and hills!In full: This was my 5th MVP. I love the challenging course - even more hills this year and a very tough new path up Butser.The real selling point of this run is the Marshalls. Hours spent standing in the cold wind and rain doesn't dampen their enthusiasm. They are always cheerful, the food and drink are legendry, especially the Rum at 18 miles.Well done PJC, another lesson in how to put on a race.See you next yearDate of review: March 2, 2011
In short: Great Organisation and Hospitality. Beautiful countryside. And of course the mud!!!!Date of review: March 2, 2011

Precollege Teacher Enhancement and Leadership Training
Providing Online Distance Learning Opportunities in
DataStreme Atmosphere has major support from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to conduct a Teacher Enhancement Project with a strong leadership component. An innovative Internet-based distance-learning course directed towards middle-school teachers, but open to all K-12 teachers, has been developed and is being implemented nationwide. The course, DataStreme Atmosphere, focuses on the study of the atmospheric environment through the use of continuously updated electronically transmitted weather data and learning materials. It is designed after the other highly successful DataStreme distance-learning courses.
The DS Atmosphere course is the initial step in the training of Weather Resource Teachers with their participation in the DS Atmosphere distance-learning course. The 13-week course is offered twice a year to selected participants. It is designed to enhance public understanding of the atmospheric portion of the Earth system and its interaction with people using electronically transmitted environmental data and learning materials combined with Text readings and Investigations Manual activities and Current Weather Studies online investigations. Teachers will become their school's representative as part of a major national science education program conducted by the American Meteorological Society.
Who can participate in
DS Atmosphere?
Teachers who are members of groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, or teachers who are teaching in schools with large numbers of students from groups traditionally underrepresented in the sciences, are especially urged to apply.
How is the DataStreme Atmosphere
course conducted?
The DataStreme Atmosphere course is offered through DataStreme Atmosphere Local Implementation Teams (LITs) that are located around the country. LITs, typically composed of three members, coordinate the selection and delivery of the course to approximately eight teacher participants each semester. Each team advertises the local course availability, recruits and selects participants, arranges and holds local meetings, individually mentors participants on course understandings and activities, provides participant evaluations, and assists in developing Resource Teacher action plans. Each LIT is composed of at least one master precollege teacher and most include one professional meteorologist, hydrologist, oceanographer or environmental scientist.
DataStreme Central, located at the AMS Education Office, is a team that develops instructional materials, provides logistical support to the LITs, conducts the credit-bearing course in which most DataStreme Atmosphere participants enroll, and administers the overall project.
What equipment do I need for
DataStreme Atmosphere?
What will I need to do if I am selected for the DataStreme Atmosphere course?
What does DataStreme Atmosphere do for
All participants are enrolled in a 3 semester-hour graduate course, entitled ESC 675 Real-Time Weather Studies, through the State University of New York College at Brockport. Credit is awarded upon successfully completing course requirements the same semester as the course is taken.
What materials does DataStreme Atmosphere supply?
What must I do after the DataStreme
Atmosphere course?
DataStreme Atmosphere expects to develop a long-term working relationship with DataStreme Atmosphere course participants. The goal is to upgrade scientific literacy by motivating teachers and through them, their students, to develop and nurture active interests in science, mathematics, and technology.
How do I apply for DataStreme Atmosphere?
If there is no LIT listed near you or in your state, inquiries may be sent to find out about joining a LIT outside your area by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com. You will be notified of the status of your application by the local LIT leader. Enrollment is limited and selection is based on a number of criteria.
NOAA and NSF support DataStreme Atmosphere. The State University of New York at Brockport, NY awards graduate-level academic credit for DataStreme Atmosphere. The AMS provides financial support for the program and encourages its membership to take part as LIT members.
DataStreme Atmosphere is primarily funded by NOAA.

At Friedrich Franz gourmet restaurant in Heiligendamm, the flagship restaurant at the town's famous Grand Hotel, Ronny Siewert has fine-tuned his own interpretation of contemporary classic cuisine.
Siewert has gradually updated his cuisine since March 2008 whilst remaining loyal to the fine craftsmanship of his classic foundation. His arrangements have become more transparent, he has introduced arcs of texture and has given his dishes a certain lightness by precisely orchestrating the interactions between sweetness and acidity. The finest regional produce has started to feature more and more alongside traditional luxury ingredients, with an increasing focus on vegetables. Siewert and sommelier Aline Nagel are also exploring uncharted territory in their dramatic approach to the menu, aiming to create a shared dialogue between food and wine, and intensifying the flavours as the meal progresses – which is why the menu sequence is sometimes a little unconventional.
One contemporary masterpiece is Siewert's eel trilogy with lovage cream, fruity beetroot and horseradish: Kühlungsborn eel served as cold unagi, lukewarm with apple and coriander, and on caviar scrambled egg. It comes with a fruity reduction of beetroot in citrus oil and grapefruit, the sweetness of which is brilliantly balanced by the lovage cream and the sharp hint of horseradish. This allows the eel to release different nuances of flavour without straying from its harmonious overall context at any point. In his pan-seared goose liver, egg yolk confit, foamed ham butter and apple-vinegar jus, Siewert confits the egg yolk in pure beurre noisette and thereby achieves a greater density of flavour that suits the goose liver to perfection.

Nice tasty hemp seeds. I usually buy the Nutiva brand and I cannot find any difference in taste between the two. Price is about the same. So if Nutiva hemp seeds is out of stock Manitoba Harvest is a good alternative.

I really like this hemp-product! It's in a great form, more soft and moisturised somehow. Tastes much better than many other hemp products that have a tendency to lean towards the hay-side. Could be more servings though but I'm really satisfied.

text: When Wrangler set out to create the Ultimate Riding jean, they knew there was only one place to turn - riders. They sought to capture the freedom, independence, and beauty inherent to every cowgirl. Wrangler spoke with the women of the AQHA to find out what was important to women who ride every day. Meet the result: a jean with flexible knees and a perfect rise for riding - the perfect jean for the modern cowgirl! Plus, a sexier finish that looks great in the saddle or out on the town. The Women's Wrangler Ultimate Riding Jean features a classic fit. New inseam stitching technology creates flat, no-rub comfort seams down the inside of the leg panels so that the jean truly is the "Ultimate Riding Jean". Full flex knee is perfect for riding. Mid rise. Flat comfort seams. Traditional five-pocket styling. Button waist and zipper fly. Q-Baby Wrangler jean is made of 74% cotton/25% polyester/1% spandex. Imported.

Confusing Spin GuidanceApril 10, 2013 by Bruce Landsberg
Got a request from a reader in Canada who was confused by FAA wording on a placard. Imagine! Usually they're pretty clear, including the near-worthless death and destruction placards that adorn many new aircraft as a result of our overly litigious society.
See the photo: No English teacher would have written it that way. In my opinion, this could be far more clearly stated by saying, "All acrobatic maneuvers, including spins, are prohibited." I recommend a modest proposal to the FAA that they remove the word "approved" from the current verbiage.
Now to make things a bit more complicated, some aircraft are certificated in two categories depending on weight and balance envelopes, such as the one shown here. There is a normal category which prohibits aggressive activities; utility category allows increased Gs from 3.8 to 4.4. That's quite a bit and in some aircraft, it will allow one to conduct spins if, and only if, those loading conditions are met. That usually means a forward CG. The C-172 fits this description: normal category—no spins, utility category—OK to spin. Some aircraft, like the A36 Bonanza, are also certificated in two categories, but spins are prohibited—period.
There are some CFIs who think that because normal category aircraft have been flight tested to recover from a one turn spin that one can tiptoe right up to the edge of the envelope by only doing one turn. This is not a great idea because those intrepid factory test pilots usually have: 1) a spin chute on the aircraft, 2) a parachute firmly attached to themselves, 3) some even have modified the doors on the test aircraft to make egress easier. Impromptu escape options usually don't measure up to that. Awhile back I spoke to a young pilot who said she and her instructor had been doing one turn spins in a Cessna 210. I advised in the strongest terms possible of the above.
Describing chandelles, lazy 8s, and steep turns as acrobatic is pushing the definition. They are definitely maneuvering flight, but as long as one is not exceeding 60 degrees of bank or more than 30 degrees of pitch (by inference from FAR 91.303) they can be done in utility category aircraft.
Don't forget if you're practicing spins (in an appropriately approved aircraft) that parachutes may be required. If one is training for a CFI-airplane certificate, it is not required, but everyone else must wear a chute. This rule gets winked at a lot. Some CFIs introduce their primary students to spins without a chute on the premise that the student will someday become a CFI. That's a stretch in my view although attorneys make a great living debating such things.
My opinion, not backed up by any statistics, is that the chute is there largely for psychological comfort. In most aircraft, unless the doors have removable hinges (quickly) or a canopy that jettisons (quickly), the odds of getting out are pretty slim if the machine is disintegrating around you and spinning earthward. We'll have an upcoming segment on the topic on AOPA Live later this spring.
Would love to hear from someone who did escape with or without a chute, and the circumstances.

Now that we're all grown up, celebrating Mother's Day has become a little more adult. Out are the days of the handmade card; in are the days of celebrating Mom with a cocktail in hand, the barbecue kicking and perhaps a beach day to boot. Here's a sampling of cocktail recipes that are classy, tasty and refreshing—perfect for the lady of the house.
Friday Happy Hour: Traditional Tipple
Nothing says summer quite like lemonade. We're serving up a spicy lemonade ditty that's long been a favorite of the British: Pimm's No. 1.
This liqueur stems back to a London oyster bar in the 1840s where proprietor James Pimm invented a digestive aid—gin, quinine and a secret mix of herbs and botanicals—that he sold in small tankard called a No. 1 cup. The drink name stuck, and by 1851, Pimm had two additional recipes: No. 2 using scotch and No. 3 using brandy. Fast-forward to the 1960s, and the Pimm's stable was rounded out with six signature recipes; however, No. 1 is still a favorite.
Based with gin, No. 1 resembles tea in color with a spicy, citrus flavor and makes the perfect match with lemonade—an adult Arnold Palmer, if you will. There are a few caveats to Pimm's: 1) there is no need to add any additional alcohol, just lemonade or ginger beer; 2) the cocktail must include mint and cucumber; and 3) it's served cold, with ice cubes, not crushed ice.
For an authentic Pimm's experience, try the following:
Pimm's No.1 Cup, Victorian Era
- 1 part Pimm's No. 1
- 2 parts chilled lemonade
- Orange, thinly sliced
- Lemon, small wedges
- Cucumber, thinly sliced
- Mint
In a long glass filled with cubed ice, add Pimm's and lemonade. Add one piece of each fruit, stir; garnish with a sprig of mint.
For a more updated version of the No. 1 Cup, this variation is less acidic.
Traditional Pimm's No.1 Cup
- 1 part Pimm's No.1
- 3 parts chilled lemonade*
- Orange, thinly sliced
- Strawberry, quartered
- Cucumber, thinly sliced
- Mint
In a Collins glass filled with cubed ice, add Pimm's and lemonade. Add one piece of each fruit (don't overload), stir; garnish with a sprig of mint.
*For a twist, use two parts lemonade, one part ginger beer.
Saturday is for Campari
Bitter and citric, Campari isn't for everyone. Developing a palate for this aperitif may take some time, but it's worth the work.
This Mother's Day, we're offering up a nod to the Old Country with the Negroni—one part Campari, one part gin and one part sweet red vermouth. Try this sweeter version of the classic drink, which ups the dose of Italiano with a little Solerno blood orange liqueur added to the mix.
Negroni Light
- 1 part Campari
- 1 part gin
- 1 part Solerno
- ½ oz. simple syrup (1:1)
- Squeeze of lemon
- Seltzer*
Fill a cocktail tin with ice, add ingredients and stir to mix ingredients. Strain into a Collins glass, add ice and top with seltzer. Garnish with an blood orange wedge (optional).
*Make it citrusy and sub the seltzer for some ruby red grapefruit juice.
Sunday Funday: A Brunch-Time Favorite
This Mother's Day, Ta-bóo is toasting the lady of the house with the Momosa, a twist on the classic mimosa.
- 4 oz. Prosecco
- 1 oz. St. Germaine
- ½ oz. Chambord
- Splash of pink grapefruit juice
Pour the ingredients in the order listed into a Champagne flute, give it a quick stir and raise your glass to Mom. (561-835-3500, taboorestaurant.com)

Tools of the Trade
Become a master mixologist, or at least look like one, with the tools that make the trade.
- Muddler: This little tenderizing stick is a godsend and a must for any home bar. If fruity cocktails are in your future, the muddler is the only way to unlock fruits' flavor.
- Handheld Citrus Juicer: Nothing beats freshly squeezed juice, but it can be a pain. Invest in a handheld citrus juicer; they are cheap and do the trick tout de suite.
- Cocktail Shaker: Purchase a nice shaker and become a master home barkeep.
- Jigger: This little apparati will make mixing the perfect drink as easy as pie. It's equipped with 1½ oz. and ¾ oz. cups for perfectly measured pours every time.

10 Cheapest Bank Stocks for 2013
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- New Year's Eve is a great time to celebrate a nice recovery year for banks stocks, and to look ahead by identifying names that are trading at low multiples to forward earnings estimates.
If you were picking stocks a year ago, after the KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) sank 25%, with Bank of America (BAC) dropping 58% during 2011 and Citigroup (C) falling by 44%, there was a host of large-bank plays trading at significant discounts to book value. Bank of America's stock was trading for just 0.4 times tangible book value at the end of 2011, while Citigroup traded for 0.5 times tangible book value.
Playing the big names trading below book was certainly a winning strategy for 2012, with Bank of America returning an amazing 105% through Friday's close at $11.36, while Citigroup was up 48% year-to-date through Friday's close at $39.01. Then again, for longer-term investors, Bank of America's shares were still down 14% from the end of 2010, while Citi was down 21% for the same period.
With the industry continuing to build capital, and with the strong recovery this year, there are many fewer big banks trading below book value. Bank of America now trades for 0.9 times tangible book value, but the shares look rather expensive, trading for 11.8 times the consensus 2013 earnings estimate of 96 cents, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. A silver lining for the shares is that the consensus 2014 EPS estimate is $1.25, portending a relatively large jump in earnings another year out, as the company works to cut expenses. Investors are also looking for a significant boost in the company's return of capital, following the next round of Federal Reserve stress tests, which will be completed in March.
The increased return of capital though higher dividends and share buybacks will be a major theme for most of the big banks in 2013. While many investors rightly fear that the U.S. economy could slip back into recession without a compromise in Washington to avoid the Fiscal Cliff, the Fed's stress tests include a "severely adverse scenario" for a difficult recession in 2013, and most bank analysts think that the large banks will still be approved for dividend increases and significant buybacks.
The banking industry will also continue to face a rough interest rate environment, as the Federal Reserve is maintaining its "highly accommodative" policy of making large monthly purchases of mortgage-backed securities and U.S. Treasury securities in order to keep long-term rates at their historically low levels. The short-term federal funds rate has been kept in a target range of zero to 0.25% since late 2008, meaning most banks are feeling the squeeze, as they have already realized most of the benefits of lower funding costs, while their assets continue to reprice at lower rates.

General Description
Most of the several hundred fishes known as flounders are in either the Pleuronectidae (right-eyed flounders, around 100 species, many of which have a dorsal branch near the front of the lateral line that runs along the base of the dorsal fin) or the Bothidae (left-eyed flounders, which lack a dorsal branch to the lateral line, although it may be forked above the upper eye). Most pleuronectids live in temperate to cold waters; tropical species generally occur in deeper water. Pleuronectids include several commercially important species in the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans. These include, among others, two of the largest of all bony fishes, the large-mouthed Pacific Halibut (Hippoglossus stenolepis) and Atlantic Halibut (Hippoglossus hippoglossus), which historically grew to at least 2.5 meters and 320 kg (although as a result of intensive fishing specimens now rarely reach even half this size); the American Plaice (Hippoglossoides platessoides); flounders such as the Winter Flounder (Pseudopleuronectes americanus); and the Petrale Sole (Eopsetta jordani). A very large female halibut may be 30 years old and can produce over 2 million small eggs. Because of the eggs' neutral buoyancy, the eggs typically float in midwater, sinking gradually as development proceeds. (Eschmeyer and Herald 1983; Robins and Ray 1986; Chapleau and Amaoka 1995)
Adult pleuronectids have the eyes and color pattern on the right side of the body. Like the hatchlings of other flatfishes, at an early age pleuronectid larvae begin to lean to one side as one eye (the left eye in the case of pleuronectids) migrates across the crown to a position beside the other eye. In addition, the front of the skull twists, bringing the jaws into a sideways position, and the side of the fish that faces down when it is in a resting position turns whitish. (Chapleau and Amaoka 1995)

BETHESDA, Md. — Bill Haas pulled away from the crowd at the top of the leaderboard Sunday with a 5-under 66 to win the AT&T National at Congressional Country Club.
It's the fifth PGA Tour title for Haas, who finished up on 18 in front of tournament host and defending champion Tiger Woods.
Woods did not play this year because of a strained left elbow.
Roberto Castro (69) finished alone in second, three shots back.
Haas was in a four-way tie for the lead — with Castro, James Driscoll and Adres Romero — when the round began, and there were 10 players within four shots of the lead when the day began. As many as six players had a share of the lead on Sunday.
Haas pulled away with three consecutive birdies beginning at No. 8, then added two more at 14 and 16.
Haas has at least one win in four consecutive seasons, matched only by Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and Justin Rose.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: nice enoughIn full: Nice enough race. Main points that it advertises as Highclere Castle race, in fact the grounds are closed (although we knew about it earlier) there is hardly any view of Highclere Castle itself, it's about a mile or two down the path with no public admittance. When I did Bowood House race, we had scenic views onto it, raced right next to it, here you could see the grounds and that's all. Also, there is no bag storage area. I came by myself and had to leave my valuables (phone, money, house keys) in the car and struggle with keyring to get my car's bulky key card off it. I thought that was poor. Also, the only multiterrain bit was a bit of grass at the beginning and end, everything else was on road. On the plus side, the road section was fully closed to traffic although probably did not need to be as all runners kept to the left anyway. Overall, nice race but I doubt I would do it again. Date of review: April 28, 2013
In short: Brilliant raceIn full: What an awesome race! Loved the route, muddy woodland trail, stony byways, the uphills and downhills, the bluebells in the woods. Lovely quiet race, not too many spectators, all of them mainly in start/finish area, brilliant goody bag but I never do races for goody bags. Will do it for sure next year.Date of review: May 20, 2012
In full: Only maybe for doing it again as I parked at Westgate and it was a long walk. Marshalling and organisation ran like clockwork. Weather was good too which was added bonus. Lovely race if not cheap. Date of review: May 13, 2012
In short: great challenging road raceIn full: Loved this race even though I'm not keen on road races overall. Nice atmosphere, good marshalling, nice route. Nice facilities at school. And quite cheap for a longish run. As for the hills I was waiting for them and they never realy came, there were undulations but nothing too serious, they only added to scenery. Overall great work Witney Roadrunners.Date of review: September 11, 2011
In short: my local 5 milerIn full: I would do it again as it's a mile from my home but that's really the only reason. The course is in the residential area on pathways, some road crossings well marshalled. Small race, plenty of parking, friendly, great turn out for children as fun run held on the same day. Loved early start of this race, then you could go and do your long run. Mug and a small chocolate bar at the finish. Great marshalling, always cheering on us and edncouraging. NIce local run but not for the ones looking for scenery.Date of review: July 3, 2011
In short: Great local road raceIn full: Brilliant local race, course undulating with one big hill on the steep side and a long climb on miles 7 to 9, otherwise undulating, very scenic views from the top of the hill, it was worth a climb, poppies in field, very lovely. The only fault I can find is expensive car park £3 for two hours but the finish turned out to be 2 yards from my car so could stagger to my car afterwards quickly. I totally understand the decision to make it an evening race, little b roads would have been too crowded during the day, we had the roads for most parts to ourselves. Greatly enjoyed this race, very friendly, got a new PB better by 12 minutes so overjoyed.Date of review: June 19, 2011
In short: Absolutely brilliant eventIn full: I can't fault it, excellent organisation, brilliant scenery in area where I train daily, great marshalling, very kind and supportive marshals, cheerful welcome at finish line and a very nice tech t shirt, gearing up for forty next yearDate of review: April 23, 2011
In short: Course should be described as undulatingIn full: From description was expecting hills to be more aggressive, turned out not too bad, average road race, did it to fill Sunday morning, great weather but event averageDate of review: April 1, 2011
In short: all worth it for the slice of lemon drizzle cakeIn full: Cannot fault it, good organisation from car park to baggage storage, fantastic though awfully hard race, sign me in for next year, oh yes and of course the cakes!!!Date of review: February 27, 2011
In short: nice race, enjoyed the weather!In full: It was my first half marathon and I loved it. I loved the weather and the off road section, mud on the beach, it was great. I'm a trail runner so no amount of mud is a problem to me or rain for that matter. Well done marshalls for putting up with the weather, great local encouragement from the public, passing people must have throught we were all barmy to go out in this weather. The only 2 down points for me: put in the race info that car parking machines do not accept notes, I only had a five pound note on and the bar has run out of coins, it took me 30 minutes to find enough money to pay for my car in coins. The other point is ridiculous raffle like pieces of paper for baggage, mine flew out of my pocket, should be based on the race number and we should have been given tags with out race numbers to put on. Overall very pleased with myself as in those conditions got pretty good time and I was running with injury too. Date of review: February 13, 2011

Fishing in a Texas State Park or local Neighborhood Fishin' lake stocked with fish is fun, affordable and a good way for family and friends to spend time together outside. Plus, there's a good chance your fish will be keepers and end up on your dinner table.
Where to go fishing
- Texas State Parks: Over 70 parks offer fresh or saltwater fishing from shore, pier or boat. You don't need a fishing license to fish from pier or shore in a state park! Many parks offer tackle-loaner programs and special fishing classes and events. For help catching a fish, check out our state park Fishing Tip Sheets.
- Local Neighborhood Fishin' sites: Selected lakes in urban areas are stocked with fish every two weeks. Kids under 17 fish for free, while a fishing license is required for adults. Amarillo, Austin, Bryan-College Station, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Angelo, San Antonio, Tyler, Waco, Wichita Falls.
- Artificial Reefs: 66 artificial reef sites along the coast of Texas attract large saltwater fish and nearly 200 marine fish species. Seven near-shore reefs are within nine nautical miles of the coast and are accessible to more experienced anglers with offshore boats.
- Texas Lake Finder
Beginner Fishing Programs
Want to go fishing or take your kids fishing, but don't know where to start? Here's how:
- Go Fish: Families can learn the basics of fishing through fun, hands-on activities. Equipment and bait are provided or bring your own. Check the Go Fish calendar for upcoming events.
- Tackle Loaner Program: 30 state parks loan fishing equipment-- just like a library loans books. Individuals can borrow rods, reels and tackle for up to 7 days of fishing. Find a loaner site near you.
Support Healthy Fish Populations
Everyone plays an important role in maintaining healthy quantities of fish and fish habitats. When you purchase a fishing license or fishing equipment, you are supporting fishery management, hatcheries, conservation and education. By learning to identify fish and respecting fishing regulations you can help protect fish populations, ensuring that they will continue to be available now and in the future for all who want to go fishing.
