I don't like the chunks of tomatoes in my pizza sauce but want to try making my own sauce. Can anyone suggest what type of tomatoes to start out with. I was thinking of using puree, i used canned sauce on my last pie and it was to overpowering.
At some point in the future, I hope to have some video demos produced so you guys can see how I do it.
Mushrooms, which are 90% water, act as a sponge??? Never seen that happen in a home oven. They release water in my pizzas, not absorb it. Anyone else have success using fresh mushrooms to soak up moisture in a pizza?

Last year, eight teams took an all-in approach toward the NFL draft, making six or more selections on one side of the ball. The Houston Texans' defense saw the most immediate benefits to "flooding the zone" with rookies -- Houston's defense jumped from third-worst in the NFL to second-best in one season, giving up 1,459 fewer yards than in 2010. The New England Patriots and Green Bay Packers both devoted six picks to the other side of the ball, and their offenses surged.
This year, nine teams have taken the Texans' approach to revamping a platoon. The ultimate goal for these upgrades is to see a 0.5 yards per play bump, which would go a long way toward vaulting these teams to the top third of the league in either offensive or defensive production.
So how will these moves pan out? Let's take a look at the metrics to find out.
1. Cleveland Browns: +563 yards
Key additions: QB Brandon Weeden, RB Trent Richardson, OT Mitchell Schwartz
The Browns fared quite poorly in the yards per attempt (YPA) metric on short passes (those thrown 10 or fewer yards downfield) last year, as Colt McCoy's abysmal 5.3 total in that category ranked 30th in the league. Weeden displayed a superb ability to raise the level of play of those around him and thus should be able to improve that number to at least the league short-pass YPA median mark of 6.3. Over 300 short passes, that would add 300 aerial yards.
In the ground game, Cleveland's run-blockers finished 14th in the good blocking percentage stat (good blocking being roughly defined as when the offense doesn't allow the defense to do anything to disrupt a rushing play), but former starting running back Peyton Hillis didn't take full advantage of the solid blocking, ranking dead last in the league with a 5.7-yard mark in the good blocking yards per attempt (GBYPA) metric. Richardson posted a 9.7 GBYPA against Alabama's toughest opponents last year, and with Cleveland's solid blocking should be able to rack up a 7.8 GBYPA in the pros (which is league average in this metric). That would add 2.1 yards per rush on approximately 125 good blocking plays, or 263 additional ground yards.

Easy and Delicious Pumpkin Mousse
- 1 cup cold heavy cream
- 1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin puree
- 1/3 cup evaporated milk
- 1 (3.4-ounce) box pumpkin spice flavored instant pudding mix
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup Spiced Pecans, recipe follows
- Spiced Pecans:
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground orange peel
- 1 pound pecan halves
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons water
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Place the heavy cream into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk. Whisk until medium peaks are formed, 1 to 2 minutes.
In a separate bowl whisk together the pumpkin puree and milk. Add the pudding mix and vanilla and whisk to combine. Fold in the whipped cream and thoroughly combine. Transfer the mousse into 6 (7-ounce) dessert bowls or ramekins. Place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 4 before serving.
Coarsely chop the Spiced Pecans and sprinkle on top of the mousse just before serving.
Line a half sheet pan with parchment and set aside.
Mix the salt, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and orange peel together in a small bowl and set aside.
Place the nuts in a 10-inch cast iron skillet and set over medium heat. Toast, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes until they just start to brown. Add the butter and stir until it melts. Add the spice mixture and stir to combine. Once combined, add the sugars and water, stirring until the mixture thickens and coats the nuts, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
Transfer the nuts to the prepared sheet pan and separate them with a fork or spatula. Allow the nuts to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage.

If you are looking for sore arms, and a worn out reel, then this masterpiece of crankbait is not for you. Stanford Lures designed the DBC Deep Big Cedar Crankbait to be the best deep diving crankbait on the market. The near neutral buoyancy of its cedar composition makes it very submarine-like, allowing it to stay deeper longer and easier. This means you can catch fish with the DBC all day - without breaking a sweat. Available in a range of proven, hand-painted colors, each Stanford Lures DBC Deep Big Cedar Crankbait is 100% made in the USA, comes equipped with only premium components, and is hand-tuned by Dieter Stanford, himself.

Comments: Probably my favorite fishing technique is throwing crank baits. The DBC has become my favorite crank bait to throw since I started using it this summer. Compared to Strike King or Norman, the DBC is so much easier to throw for hours on end. I would highly recommend them if you want to catch more fish!
From: Cody: TX
Comments: When casting this bait it does not tumble. Comes through the water colum with very little resistance and has a really nice shimmy. If your looking for a deep bait that you can fish all day, this is it. This is my clean up lure. After going from rattles to silent baits and the fish shut off, I can pick the DBC up and get them fired back up again. If you fish ledges or points this is your new bait. I have better luck with the Charteuese colors.
From: Rusty: GA
Comments: I picked up a couple of this at the bassmaster classic this past year just wondering if these handmade crankbaits really did out preform the big companies like strike king, bomber, and lucky craft. what i found was that they had such a lifelike hunting action that i was beginning to catch more and bigger fish. At first glance i was scared at the price but now I am a believer of cedar cranks and will be trusting them in all of my upcoming tournaments. Stanford is #1 in the crankbait business!!
From: Cody: Tallahassee, FL
Comments: I absolutely love this topwater! I bought a couple out of curiosity to help me stock up my wooden crankbait box. Boy did I make the right choice! I have been looking for a wood crankbait that could perform not only around wood, but chunk rock and pea gravel. The action and buoyancy of this bait makes it deflect off cover and structure like none other! I'd definitely suggest this crankbait to anyone!
From: Brennan: Ozark, MO
Comments: These deep divers crankbaits are hands down the best. I have been fishing them for the past six months and they have been wacking them. You can cast them a mile and they run true. The 6xd is a practice bait compared to these bad boys.

About the Author: James Warlick serves as Acting Assistant Secretary of State for International Organization Affairs.
It's a particularly exciting time at the Department of State, with the wave of energy and initiative brought by a new Administration, a new Secretary of State, and a new Ambassador to the UN.
In the Bureau of International Organization Affairs, we've been working closely with Secretary Clinton and her new team, including Ambassador Susan Rice, to emphasize America's commitment to multilateral diplomacy and revitalizing American leadership at the United Nations.
That's one of the reasons why, on Friday, I took a quick trip to Paris to meet with my counterparts from the other two members of the so-called P3, France and the United Kingdom. Like the United States, France and the U.K. are permanent members of the United Nations Security Council (thus the P in P3), and we share with them and the other Security Council members the weighty responsibility of addressing challenges of international peace and security.
While in Paris, I had productive discussions on a number of pressing concerns, including piracy and lawlessness in Somalia, violence in the Sudan and continuing concern about Iran's nuclear enrichment activities. We also discussed ways that we could make more effective UN efforts regarding peacekeeping and human rights.
Our European allies, both those in the P3, as well as others, will be valuable partners as we work toward our shared goals of addressing global challenges. Secretary Clinton has already met with or spoken to many of her counterparts from Europe and around the world, including hosting both French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner and British Foreign Secretary David Miliband.
There are many issues before us, but with the collective efforts of our many partners, the United States and the United Nations can help advance our shared goals of eliminating poverty, disease and hunger, protecting the environment, and furthering democracy and respect for human rights. In addition, we look forward to strengthening ties to regional groups, the Non-aligned Movement, the Organization of the Islamic Conference and others.
Terry in Connecticut writes:
I agree totally this is a new and exciting time for great diplomacy and new vision on foriegn policy. For 8 long years we had cowboy and reckless policies. New management in town to correct the wrongs!
SNP in Syria writes:
Partners in Crimes against Humanity, one fabricates cause belli for wars the other ratifies it and passes resolutions under chapter Seven, wars and more wars. Who will defend the helpless nations and the rights of the oppressed people? Lucky for this partnership, Irans Ayatollahs are begging Larjani to joint it.
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
I think it is time to experiment with citizen diplomacy, where ordinary citizens talk to each other as well as officials from their own governments over the internet and discuss their national problems and how to solve them.
The idea that only governments can solve international problems certainly has not prevented any wars and it is the ordinary citizens who die as a result of diplomatic error.
As long as governments get us killed or maimed for life, we may as well have our say about it.
The Logan Act appears to be regularly ignored anyway (Builderberg meetings attended by public officials and private persons, Jesse Jackson's hostage rescue, Jimmy Carter's travels, etc.) so that shouldn't stop us in pursuing peace.
Let's ask President Assad to post his e-mail address or open a public forum for Syrians and other people to post their views?
Why not ask DPRK president Kim to open North Korea to the internet and open a presidential blog or forum for public input? No doubt President Kim loves the internet as much as anyone, and he may benefit from opinions of people in his country as well as people elsewhere. Why not let the propaganda freely flow both directions as it does in America?
Donald in Virginia writes:
Now I see why we had so many problems during the 9/11 attacks. When you call the FAA hotline or the NTSB you reach an automated service. No wonder we have issues in the United States when our top agencies have computers that answer you calls instead of real people.
I spoke to someone at the NTSB earlier this morning regarding some of my future ideas that can help with Helicopter and Plane safety for all people who fly in them. He directed to crash investigation. After talking to the nice lady she couldn't be of help, so she sent me to the FAA which only resulted in a computer automated voice messenging system.
We need to get out of the automated voice messaging and into talking to real people when dealing with real issues. The FAA AND NTSB should also consider having a Safety Blog that would allow people to chat and write their ideas that might help save lives!
We rely far to much already on computers. What people might not realize and I will be glad to point them out. Years ago I did some reading of the Arab news from Libya. Found out some interesting details. If you read what Libya was really up to regarding computers, it could raise some "Eyebrows." My suggestion to this new Administration is go back and read the news and see what your eyes see. I would call it but will leave it to you to figure out.
Eric in New Mexico writes:
"[T]he great security against a gradual concentration of the several powers in the same department, consists in giving to those who administer each department the necessary constitutional means and personal motives to resist encroachments of the others. The provision for defence must in this, as in all other cases, be made commensurate to the danger of attack. Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place. It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions." ([1788] n.d., 337)
-James Madison , The Federalist No. 51
Congratulations on your selection for appointment sir.
Seems to me that the above text states clearly the very premis for the UN's existance. If that be sound premis;
When it states "The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place."
How do you view the UN charter and Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a binding, enforcible document upon member nations of the UN?
I don't do Facebook, so I hope you'll take my question as it stands here.

You know things are bad with the economy when the whole country of Iceland goes into Bankrupcy. How many other countries around the world face the same problems.
The United States needs to end NAFTA and start Manufacturing once again. We should also be putting strict guidelines on Vehicle Manufactures to produce it's product in the United States. How many of the existing car plants are located overseas, putting other people in jobs. Then the problem in China is simple. General Motors made a deal in that country to produce vehicles in China, so why would they buy American General Motors Cars from the United States in future? The business people have sold this country out the door?
The only true way to get our currency out of the situation its in today is simple. We need to have GOLD backup our money. Right now Washington continues printing paper money and it's inflated. We have to go back to using a system that makes our money worth something again.
Otherwise countries will also figure it out. When that happens we will only be inflated higher, and you still didn't solve the number ONE problem in the country. Which is CREDIT. There should be NO Credit. People in the United States if payed proper for the jobs they do, should have the money they need to pay for vehicles or homes. Not get hooked on credit cards, or credit bills.
Best Regards,
Zharkov in U.S.A. writes:
Donald in Virginia raises excellent points but the argument assumes that the federal government is concerned about the economic situation in America.
While most people working in Washington are worried about our economy, a small but powerful group in our government simply do not want to allow this crisis to "go to waste" and are using it to advance a global agenda. If the highest officials in our government wanted to save America from destruction, they would quickly follow your advice.
The economic collapse was deliberately engineered to further an agenda, nothing else. There was no accidental mistake here. As with the Patriot Act being prepared years in advance of 9/11, this economic collapse took years to set up.
Any first year economics student could instantly see that offering generous home loans to a population whose job base was shrinking would eventually lead to massive default by private citizens. This was government policy, a policy deliberately executed during the largest emigration of corporate production in American history.
Leveraging such worthless paper made the situation worse, and the bankers knew it, and now we are going into deeper debt as a nation to try to resolve problems originally caused by too much debt and too few jobs. The purpose is to destroy our economy so that we beg for relief in any form -- even global dictatorship -- if that would relieve the horror that has only just begun in America.
All we need to do to reverse the collapse is to reverse the incentives to relocate jobs overseas and reverse our tax policies which discourage self-employment. If more small businesses were created and corporations moved factories back to America, the collapse could disappear quickly.
The obvious solutions will not happen because that is not the primary goal of our "leaders". The goal is control, expansion of government power, and eventually total domination. You can't get there if people have any power to resist, and in this battle, money is power. So the less money you have, the better off they are because they can print whatever sums they need, and you can't.

MAN VS NATURE (GLOBAL WARMING) 2012 the Year PROPHECIES
God created the earth, we all can agree to this. Then we all should know the instruments he uses when disasters happen. Why does California have more fires than any other State in the Union? Makes you wonder for a minute? Is it possible that God does not approve of some things that happen in that State? The Federal Government should take a good look into that state.
Louisiana or even the Southern States having problems with Hurricanes? Once again, think about this a little deeper. God has his own method of dealing with situations. Just like in todays age, "Were in the times where man can destroy the world" there are far too many Nuclear Weapons, and in the wrong hands, can be very deadly and disasterous.
The Christians who read their bibles know exactly what I'm talking about. It has alreay been written.
You could spend 100 Trillion dollars on Global Warming, and God can bring upon this EARTH one Giant Earthquake and all is lost in the end. So Go for it... Spend the Trillions of dollars for a cause that may or may not happen.
2012 the Year PROPHECIES
There is many talks about these prophecies unfolding in the year of 2012. We should think about it, have a plan in case something happens, but all in all use common sense and above all if we start making the right changes today, the future will be better for our kids. We all were suprised to find out when the Y2K didn't have the impact people thought it would, and companies spend thousands of dollars preparing, hiring consultants and it really wasn't needed in the end.
Best Regards,
SNP in Syria writes:
@ Zharkov in U.S.A. -- You cannot endlessly pay your debt with borrowed money with interest, but that is what the U.S. Government been doing for years. This new Trillion and a half of debt will cover the U.S. economy for couple of months, they will need additional Trillion by April and much more thereafter, it is hopeless. Once Dow breaks 7800 mark, we are in no man land going south to 6200, break that and Asti Lavista, back to 1998 levels. Not even 3 trillions more will help, because the people simply lost too much net worth and equities in stocks, investment, Real Estate, etc., they are drowning in debt, just like the governments. The majority consumers will not be able to reinvigorate the economy because they simply have no purchasing power. The 2-5 percentages of rich and well off segment of societies already own everything .Basically you have to approve a Trillion Dollar of funny money every 60-90 days for years until someone(s) start throw in the towels.
I guess no one interested in this remarkable U.N. International stuff in this blog post, and who should when your State Government is starting to furlough you, unpaid Fridays off because there is no cash for salaries.
It is time to save some cash and cut the U.N. budget off, totally, use the cash for worthy cause, like shelters for the homeless you see under freeway passes. Auction those antique desks and lease the building for some organization that can do something about the state of the world. But then, you will have all those diplomats to employ, Burger King H.R said they are not qualified for anything,
Here is an idea, cut the U.N. budget off and pay the cash to all the NGOs, kick the do nothing Diplomats off the building and give free office space for NGO to run their worthy causes.
John in Greece writes:
@ SNP in Syria -- If all the others -- like Syria -- do not pay their national debts to an "American banking mechanism" that creates false U.S.A. debt image, how can America present the true "Excel"?
Do you know that 75-80% of the planet lives due to the American money? Everybody owes money -- among other things and ideas -- to the United States of America, but they don't pay their debts. And you cannot make wars everywhere to take your money back. America is not Mafia. After all, this is another proof that U.S.A. is not an Empire and it does not intend to become one. However, where is the money? How do you expect to have a real view of the situation, when the accounting is virtual?
Bring me the U.S. worldwide money back and I'll show you if America has a debt. So, until then, I think that U.S.A. is still the richest country/continent on the planet without even counting:
The best workers in the world
And all of the above, are pure and absolutely virgin, ready to use if the going gets tough. And America has every right to print as much money as she thinks that the "real Excel" allows. Do you know that U.S. technology is 40 years ahead from today? Do you think that -- soon -- this is something that will not get "paid back" in cash? What about medicine and technology? This is money too. Have you detracted these parameters from the value of the virtual debt?
And all the above are not yet in a financial "DEFCON4". Imagine what the real financial image will be with just a "DEFCON3"!
P.S.: Do you know these about Syria? Public debt: 41.2% of GDP (2008 est.) Inflation rate (consumer prices): 14.9% (2008 est.)
SNP in Syria writes:
@ John in Greece --
Last I looked it up. The U.S. Government / Treasury own 750 Billion Dollars that is all. Logon to the Treasury Dept website and you will get all the latest appalling numbers. You will not find M3 numbers, the real numbers of funny money printed by the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank thus far. It is known that the printing presses at the Fed are running non stop day and night and what they creating is not really money, it is indebtness that is devaluating the whole currency and the nation wealth
Should as you requested foreign countries stop using the U.S. Dollar, the value of this currency will drop to Ten cents on the Dollar in one day. It will be Ten Dollars equal One EUR.
Now, back to that 750 billion in cash, keep that in mind for now and think how the officially stated U.S. Public debt of over 10 trillions is going to be paid up, ( unofficially we estimate it to be close to 20-30 trillions of funny money some minted legally and some by mobs all over the world. How all the upcoming added debt of Trillions that is being passed by Congress is going to be paid up and by whom?
Finally, you can not ask the world to give you back your Dollars because they are not U.S. Property. They were used as exchange medium; few hundred millions in East Asia slaved for generations to accumulate those Dollars that they received in exchange for those goods you enjoyed. In the Middle East, they give you oil in exchange for your U.S. Dollars. So the only way to get those dollars back is to exchange them back, give the world the oil and goods back in brand new condition and they will give you your stinky worthless Dollars back. There are other ways to make this deal too, trashes the Dollar to the point those holding it will scream and dump it for you like hot potato, or bomb them till they do that, and that is the strategy the real owner of those Dollar bills is carrying out since Sep11.
You see John, you, the American do not own your currency the Dollar, and neither the Government, it is the Federal Reserve that own it and it is a Privately held bank owned by Seven Jewish Khazzars. You need to go to your Congressman and see if he will share some little secret with you about a transaction done years ago between Congress and the Federal Reserve. Very few Americans know about it, even many Congressmen never heard of it.

Nobody knows for certain how many quadrillion dollars it might be, because the public sector collapse is only beginning and will eventually add to the losses.
The U.N. budget is lunch money compared with the tidal wave of money leaving the United States.
It's all for nothing in the end.

Stretch Tulle
Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
Fit: Runs small
Great skirt, cut is great, but it is almost too short for my taste. Not crazy on the material. But over all fits comfortably around my waist and its pretty comfortable to dance in.
Age: 19 to 21
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
I order from DDS a lot, and I have to say this is one of the best purchases I've made in a while. This skirt runs ever so slightly small, as many items do since most dancewear companies make Mediums for "normal" size 4 - small by the general population's standards.
The skirt is perfectly cut if you're going for that SAB skirt look, but done in a piece of chiffon-ish fabric that is delicate and semi-sheer yet not awkwardly transparent as many true chiffon's are.
The color I ordered, fuchsia, is gorgeously vibrant and complements pastels perfectly. My only complaint about this skirt is that it requires adjusting between exercises since it sits on the hips and tends to slowly ride up sometimes. Two thumbs up though overall!
Age: 30-39
I bought the xs. My waist is 24" and hips 36". I have a large bottom! The fit is great, I love the shortness. Very flattering for my short legs. I got the lilac, and it's a little lighter that some of the lilac leotards but they still look good together. The fabric is very thin and delicate, however it floats and dances very nicely. It grazes across the body nicely and hides that fact that most of my leotards gives me double bottom syndrome!
Age: 22-29
I just received my order and am very happy with this skirt. I ordered a white and a grape skirt in size XS-S. I am about 5"7' and 118LB. I have narrow hip and small behind as well as thin thighs. I initially wanted a size S-M, since I am not short. But, actually, size XS-S was perfect on my body. I generally like very short skirt. During the Barr, I don't wear skirts to see my alignment better. I wear skirt during the Centre, but I don't like ones that are too long or that would hide my waist and hip line. I like see through material of this skirt to show my full figure in the centre. This skirt is short enough to show most of my thighs. The shape is very cute, too. Yes, it is a bit costly, but I am going to order a Black and a Maroon skirts. I do not know about its durability yet. But, it is a very thin material, so I will have to be careful treating it. In my opinion, this skirt may not be for women with wide and large hips/thighs.
What are the measurements for the waist and the length of this skirt? Thank you.

Take another look at health care law
The bumpy roll-out of the Affordable Care Act web site has resulted in fear about the program. It may be time to review and recap. The program is designed to provide a single marketplace wherein a person who does not have affordable employer-provided health insurance can compare policies offered by several private insurance companies, knowing that whichever level is purchased, certain minimum standards must be met.
For those who meet income guidelines, the federal government will subsidize a portion of the premium.
Everyone is required to be insured for healthcare, so hospitals and doctors will no longer have to write off indigent care, though there will always be some bad debt. Even if one chooses to avoid insurance, there is still a fine to be paid, so at least everyone is paying something into the system. There is no reason why someone who trusts to luck and refuses to take responsibility for their own health care expenses should expect the rest of us to pick up the tab.
The ACA also offers a vast expansion in the Medicaid program for those states who choose to avail themselves of it. Wisconsin has chosen not to, but Michigan stands to gain about $2 billion federal dollars a year. The new Medicaid guidelines will cover individuals and families with incomes up to 133 percent of the poverty line. For individuals, it's about $15,000/year, and for a family of four, it's about $31,000/year. Approximately 470,000 struggling Michiganders will benefit in this way, and of course, the rest of us will benefit as well.
Under Medicaid, mental health treatment will save us about $200 million per year in mental health services that are currently paid out from the general fund. Unfortunately, the Michigan Legislature chose not to develop its own marketplace, so the uninsured in our state must use the federal website, or call the federal number, or simply visit your insurance agent. Patience will pay off in the end with better coverage and peace of mind. Even young people can get cancer or crash a snowmobile.
"Butch Matthews, 61, a small-business owner and lifelong Republican from Little Rock and his wife, too young for Medicare, had been paying over $1,000/ month in the individual market for a Blue Cross/ Blue Shield policy with a $10,000 deductible. The policy Matthews just bought from the Arkansas Obamacare marketplace will cost him nothing after income-based subsidies, and he has a deductible of $750. Doctor visits will cost him $8 instead of nearly $150.
He stands to save at least $13,000 a year." (WaPo, Oct.23). Insurance companies must spend at least 80 percent of your premium on healthcare, and must publicly justify their actions if they want to raise your premium by 10 percent or more. Many preventive services (flu shots, mammograms, birth control, etc) will have no copay, and the "donut hole" for seniors will be closed gradually over the next few years. Any big new program is intimidating at first, but I encourage you to check it out if you are not already insured, or if your insurance is really crummy.

Fletcher: Current tax laws are strangling the American Dream
For the first time ever I feel as if the federal government has painted a bull's eye on my back.
My taxes are due to increase about 30 percent thanks to a combination of tax bracket increases, rising health care costs, Social Security increases, and fewer deductions available this year to myself and others. All this, and I don't get anything more for it.
I'm concerned. Take, for example, charitable donations. Because taxpayers in higher brackets no longer will be eligible for some benefits, I worry whether communities will see charitable donations decrease. Because of lost deductions, I estimate the cost of giving has risen about 45 percent. Will taxpayers still see the incentive to donating?
Then there are business taxes. A business owner is able to determine how much money is paid out of the corporation in the form of dividends. "C" corporations are subject to taxation at the corporate level at 35 percent before any dividends are paid, regardless of circumstances. After a dividend is paid, the amount of money is taxed at the personal level of 45 percent for those in higher brackets.
The math looks like this: Say a company earns $1,000. The tax paid by the corporation is then $350, leaving $650 at the company. The shareholders would like a return on their investment in the company, so the company's board of directors authorizes a dividend of $650, which is taxed at a 40 percent rate (not the 45 percent mentioned above because the Social Security taxes and the Obamacare taxes are on wages paid). Forty percent of $650 is $260 paid to Uncle Sam, leaving $390 for the shareholder to take to Neimans for groceries. So, $390 gets distributed to be spent by the shareholder and Uncle Sam gets $610.
This is not an efficient way to transfer cash from the company to the shareholder who ends up with only 39 percent of what the company made.
What we are going to see going forward is a plethora of company stock buy-back plans. The reason is the tax rate on dividends is 40-plus percent but the tax on a buy-back is only 20 percent. This approach shifts to payout in taxes from 61 percent to the government to 48 percent and the shareholder gets 52 percent of his/her own money to spend as they see fit. The tax rate of 48 cents on the dollar is thought to be too low in some parts of government.
Paying the capital gains rate of now 20 percent is preferable to paying an ordinary income rate of right around 40 percent.
We are seeing high rollers taking off for foreign lands with lower tax rates. It used to be that it was worth the price of taxes to stay in America. The United States was the "land of opportunity" and we offered "equality of opportunity" to everyone. Today our government has raised the price for success. Today our country wants to make everyone equal.
If you work hard and make money for yourself and your family, you now get to pay for someone who isn't working, nor seems interested in achieving success. So where is the incentive in that? It used to be the American Dream involved you making it to the top where you would enjoy the rewards of that hard work.
No so today.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — The Wake County Sheriff's Department has seized public records from the state Labor Department in connection with a mishap at the North Carolina State Fair last week that left three people seriously injured.
Labor Department spokeswoman Dolores Quesenberry said Tuesday that sheriff's investigators served the agency with a court order to turn over all files related to its safety inspections and investigation of the "Vortex" ride. Labor staff kept no copies of the records, she said.
The order signed by Wake County Superior Court Judge Paul G. Gessner was issued the day after The Associated Press filed a public records request for the Labor Department's files related to the Vortex. Those files are supposed to be open to public inspection under the state's public records law.
Wake Sheriff Donnie Harrison said he sought the order as part of his investigation and that it had nothing to do with denying news media efforts to review the files.
"I'm going to keep those records because I'm working on this case," Harrison said. "If you think the press is more important than people's lives, then I'm sorry. We've got them in our custody. ... Get your court order and get them, if you can."
Harrison did not say how his investigation would be harmed if copies of the Labor Department's ride inspection files became public.
Ride operator Timothy Dwayne Tutterrow of Quitman, Ga., faces three counts of felony assault with a deadly weapon after the Vortex lurched into motion Thursday as people were getting off. Prosecutors allege Tutterrow tampered with the Vortex to bypass critical safety equipment following an earlier shutdown.
Tutterrow, jailed under a $225,000 bond, returned with investigators to the Raleigh fairgrounds Tuesday. Though the fair ended Sunday, the Vortex has been left in place while the criminal investigation continues.
Tutterrow's lawyer, Roger W. Smith Jr., said Monday that his client was devastated by the accident.
"Tim Tutterrow is a good man and he would never intentionally harm anyone," he said.
Harrison has said more criminal charges could be forthcoming.
State law governing access to government records clearly notes that "the use of a public record in connection with a criminal investigation or the gathering of criminal intelligence shall not affect its status as a public record."
Following a separate public records request filed by The Associated Press, the N.C. Department of Agriculture released copies of records Tuesday that include its contract with the company hired to provide amusements at the fair.
New York-based carnival operator Powers Great American Midways faced stiff penalties if a minimum number of thrill rides weren't in operational condition each day. Under the contract, the company was required to provide at least 28 rides classified under state rules as "spectacular" because they are the largest and most dynamic.
Powers mustered 29 for the fair. If at least 28 rides weren't operational, the company risked a $5,000 daily fine for each ride it was short.
State Fair Manager Wesley V. Wyatt said no fines were levied.
Powers enlisted the help of subcontractors to provide some of the rides, including the Vortex.
Tom Chambers, the chief of the ride inspection unit at the state Labor Department, said last week that the safety switch on the Vortex malfunctioned on Oct. 21, four days before the injuries occurred.
The switch was supposed to keep the ride from operating unless the safety restraints designed to hold the riders in their seats are closed. The ride was temporarily idled as workers replaced the switch. It reopened later the same night after being tested and inspected.
The state contract also includes no requirement that workers hired by Powers and its subcontractors undergo criminal background checks or drug tests.
Court records outlining the current charges against Tutterrow showed that he was arrested in Kentucky on a charge of possessing cocaine in 1997. He was arrested again in Georgia in 2002 on a felony charge of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. Tutterrow pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years of probation under a program for first-time offenders that required him to undergo substance abuse counseling, according to records.
Wyatt said it is his understanding that Powers requires workers to submit to drug tests and criminal background checks as a condition of their employment, even though it is not required by the state.
The contract also required Powers to maintain at least $10 million in liability insurance, in the event of "bodily injury or death."
Company owner Les Powers declined requests for comment this week. He said he was too busy setting up for another carnival.

This is a great product.I buy them throughout winter and early spring.Clients love them. They are so effective for muscle and joint tension and soreness!
The only disapointment I have with this product is that it can leave a yellow stain on light colored towels/sheets.
I have just recently in 2011 added the Thai Herbal Ball treatment to my practice after being trained by several Thai therapists friends. I love the quality and would buy them again to pamper my spa clients, but I wish the price were not quite so high. I have been tempted to go online and purchase them directly from Thailand, but I want the very best quality. I trust you!

Brief SummaryRead full entry
In Mexico, Tropical Gar have been collected from the Coatzacoalcos River in Southern Veracruz to the Usumacinta River in the states of Tabasco and Chiapas. Isolated populations occur on the Pacific slope of Chiapas. In Central America, this species has been reported from Guatemala, El Salvador (Zanjón El Chino) and Nicaragua (Rio Negro, Lake Managua, and Lake Nicaragua). The southernmost known population inhabits the San Juan River and other small rivers in the Tortuguero National Park in Costa Rica. (Barrientos-Villalobos and Espinosa de los Monteros 2008 and references therein)
In response to concerns about the loss of gar populations in Central America in the early 1980s, Costa Rica declared their populations at risk, but other countries have shown less concern. Tropical Gar remain among the main fish consumed by humans in Tabasco, Mexico. In at least parts of their range, Tropical Gar populations are declining, presumably due to some combination of habitat degradation and loss and overexploitation by fisheries. Genetic evidence suggests the possibility that there may be a distinct cryptic "Tropical Gar" species in Guatemala. (Barrientos-Villalobos and Espinosa de los Monteros 2008 and references therein)
43 Tropical Gar collected from Tabasco, Mexico, ranged in length from 270 to 680 mm. These 43 individuals harbored eight species of helminth parasites, including four trematodes, a cestode, and three nematodes. (Salgado-Maldonado et al 2004)

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (July 14, 2006)
- Poland used powerful hitting and took advantage of U.S. errors to win a hard-fought match 3-1 (22-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-23) against the U.S. Men's National Team in the opening match of 2006 FIVB World League play on Friday at the E Center in Salt Lake City.
The two teams will meet again at 7 p.m. on Saturday at the E Center in Salt Lake City for their second match of the weekend.
Dawid Murek led Poland with 15 points on kills and one ace. Team captain Sebastian Swiderski added 14 points on kills. On the U.S. side, Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) led the attack with 19 points on kills. Hometown favorite Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.), a graduate of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, added nine points on kills.
The Polish team was jubilant after the victory, but knew it could not become complacent on Saturday.
"I think there is great balance between these two teams," said Polish Coach Raul Lozano. "I think today we did especially well in the attack.
"Tomorrow will be a different game. These two teams already know each other now."
The U.S. men knew they could have played better.
"We ended up shooting ourselves in the foot, not to take anything away from Poland," said U.S. libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.), who also played for BYU. "We dug holes for ourselves, especially in the second and third sets, where we needed major rallies just to make things interesting."
In a close first set, Team USA rode the strong serving and hitting of Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) to victory. Stanley finished the match with four aces. On game point, Priddy hopped the low barriers surrounding the court and kept the ball in play. Poland's hit went long and the U.S. men won the set.
Poland came back to take the second set, getting out to a 20-14 lead before Stanley served for four straight points, including two aces, to bring the United States back to 20-19. However, kills from Poland's Pawel Zagumny, Daniel Plinski and Lukasz Kadziewicz helped Poland to a 25-23 win.
Poland's men came out in Game 3 with fire in their eyes and used powerful hitting to take a 20-13 lead. At 20-14, The United States' Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.), substituting for Jim Polster (Laguna, Niguel, Calif.), served for four straight points to bring Team USA back to 21-17. The U.S. men closed their deficit to one point, 23-22, before Poland pulled away for the victory.
The final set was a battle and the score was tied 22-22 when the United States hit the ball out of bounds to fall behind and went on to lose the game and the match.
"I think we need to work more on sets. Although we were leading for a time, we need more consistent play," Lozano said.
"I thought what we were trying to do relative to Poland was good," U.S. Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "Our focus needs to be on our side of the net."
Saturday's game will be shown live in the United States on CSTV and will also be the game of the week on FIVB television.

Village has lost transparency, democracy
This letter is in response to the editorial "Village already past 'decline' (June 9). When you have the wrong people in control only to promote their own agendas, the whole region goes into decline. So bigger is not always better.
We in small municipalities have more control as to what we need and want, always thinking of cost, that is until five people in the room and the attorney decided it was their duty "to save" the village.
Whether we pay the highest tax or not in the county, that is to be decided by the residents at a public referendum, not by you adding fuel to the fire in your newspaper.
OBSERVER Publisher John D'Agostino and I have debated the issue of our police department on several occasions and he has stated that high taxes and poverty leads to crime. In this article now you say it all comes down to taxes. High taxes lead to less investment from businesses and residents.
Now which is it? I can tell you your first statement is more correct than your second. Taxes are high, we have poverty and now we have crime. The first two and a half weeks the sheriff was in charge, the village park was vandalized three times: "Nice work!"
Now let's get down to why the department was dissolved. It was not about money. It was about getting even. The police chief had to make decisions and changes in that department when he took over, things that should have been corrected before. One of the changes involved an employee who was not happy with a change even though it reduced the department budget by tens of thousands of dollars; getting even number one. Then there was conflict of interest by board members and employees that affected the police department; getting even number two.
Let's now look at all three meetings that have been held. One on April 30 at the Town Hall, the room was full. The first person to speak was the one who said he was sick of the village saving taxpayers money. You thought that was humorous, but he was right. This contract is not going to save taxpayers any money.
Everyone who wanted to speak did. There was one person in the whole room who wanted to dissolve the police department. All the rest were in favor of keeping it. The mayor said at that meeting that people should not get excited because no decision was going to be made. I asked if these decisions were going to be transparent and discussed openly at board meetings. The mayor addressed me by name and said they were going to be transparent and above board. So much for the transparency and above board!
The next was addressed at the village board meeting on June 3. The board room was full. Again one after another people spoke in favor of keeping our police department. No one spoke to dissolve it. If you read the criteria for the public to speak, you have to give your name and address and have three minutes to speak. It started out that way but then protocol was not adhered to, especially by the mayor's relatives. When I asked how long we had to wait to have a public referendum, the mayor said I was "out of line." Really, who does that sound like!
Meeting number three was held at the regular board meeting. Again, everyone who wanted to speak did and almost all spoke in favor of keeping the police department. Only one spoke to dissolve it. Of the three meetings and all of the numerous people who spoke, they could only find two people to speak to dissolve the police department. Yet this board listened to no one but these two. I guess they can't count!
They were more interested in watching the timer for your three minutes than listening to concerns of the voters. The decision on dissolving the police department was not transparent or above board. It was done behind closed doors. It was not discussed openly. They could not even tell us the exact cost or savings, if any.
The town of Hanover is in the process of negotiating their contract now. The last contract had to eliminate the 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. shift to keep the cost in line. You talk of decline, you haven't seen anything yet. We will have no local laws enforced such as unlicensed cars, property maintenance, illegal parking between sidewalk and curb, parking over sidewalks, electronics set on the curb that cannot be picked up with garbage and a host of other infractions that will not be enforced.
Yes, Mr. D'Agostino, taxes will not go down just because the sheriff is in the village. Every year that cost will rise and eventually, instead of having control of the cost, we will be forced to cut necessary village laws and coverage. Then you will see the decline.
In any municipality the police department is the cornerstone that holds a village together. These five people and attorney have denied us the right to vote on whether to keep and pay for our own police department or dissolve it.
Yes, Mr. D'Agostino, you are on the get even list. Shame on you for falling into the same cesspool as the people in charge.
One person said to me on June 19 that if this country had a totalitarian government you would support it because there would only be one individual government, only one and you had better do what they say.
We ask that the board give the taxpayer the right to vote on this issue at a public referendum. I guess they would be afraid of the outcome. Your reporter was absolutely right. This board "rubber stamped" the sheriff's contract behind closed doors. Yes, these five people should manage the day to day operation of our village on behalf of the people, but even you, Mr. D'Agostino, might agree that a decision of this magnitude that will change our village in many ways, forever, should be made by a majority vote of the whole community, not just five people. This is an example of what public referendums in our democracy are supposed to be for, but the voters have been unjustly denied and dictated to!
Isn't it infuriating to the public every time an elected official abuses his/her position to engage in a personal vendetta for relatives/friends!

- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Grilled Shrimp:
- 16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- Olive oil

DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
In a small bowl, whisk together the yeast and 1/4 cup of the warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes to proof. Place 1 3/4 cups of the flour in large bowl with the salt. Add the yeast mixture, the remaining water, and 2 teaspoons oil, and stir until combined. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth. Grease a large bowl with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil, add the dough and turn to coat. Cover and put in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat the grill to medium-high. Once the dough has risen, divide it in half, and set aside half for another use or for the Red Chile-White Anchovy Caesar Salad Pizza. Then divide the half into 4 balls. Roll each ball into 8-inch circles. Brush each circle with oil and grill on both sides until golden brown. Add 1/2 cup grated cheese to each pizza and grill until the cheese is just melted. Remove from the grill and spread a few tablespoons of the cilantro pesto over each pizza. Top each pizza with 4 shrimp and sprinkle with cilantro leaves.
Put all ingredients in the work bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Preheat the grill to high. In a large bowl, toss the shrimp with enough olive oil to coat, and season with salt and pepper. Grill for 1 to 2 minutes per side or until just cooked through. Remove from grill and keep warm until ready to use.

Marquette upsets Petoskey in opener of MHSAA district basketball tourney
PETOSKEY – Marquette opened MHSAA Class A district tournament play with a victory while avenging an early-season loss in beating Petoskey, 53-46, at the Northmen's gym on Monday night.
The Redettes are staying downstate while awaiting their second game in MHSAA tournament play at Traverse City West on Wednesday night. The Titans defeated Alpena, 37-28, on Monday.
If Marquette (18-3) wins Wednesday in a game tentatively scheduled for 6:30 p.m., the Redettes will host the district championship game on Friday, with a time yet to be announced.
On Monday, MSHS didn't have a player score in double figures. Instead, seven players scored between five and nine points, led by senior Courtney LaFreniere with nine. Senior Liana Storm had eight points to go with five assists and five steals, while sisters Elizabeth and Lydia Kurin each had seven points.
Sophomore Kirsten Iwanski, who scored five points, led Marquette rebounders with seven.
The Redettes avenged a 38-31 loss to Petoskey at the Northmen's tournament on the opening weekend of the season in December. Petoskey was 17-2, working on a 14-game winning streak and received votes in this week's Associated Press state Class A poll. Their only previous losses were to St. Ignace and Cadillac.
The Northmen also had two big scorers on Monday, Lake Superior State-bound Kelsey Ance with 20 points and Michigan State-bound Megan Tompkins with 12.
"We knew those two players were going to get their points, but we wanted to make them work hard for their buckets," MSHS coach Ben Smith said.
Petoskey also had a definite height advantage, led by Tompkins at 6-foot-3 and Ance at 5-10.
"They had a definite size advantage at three spots," Smith said. "But our girls really fought, especially Lydia Kurin and Kirsten Iwanski to get rebounds."
The Redettes jumped out to a 15-14 lead after one quarter, extending it to 25-20 at halftime. Marquette bumped its lead to as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter.
Superior Central 56, Engadine 16
At Engadine in Class D, the Cougars' Vanessa Freberg got more than the 16 points she needed to break the 1,000-point barrier as she finished with 22 points.
The Cougars (21-0) had some trouble early, however, with the Eagles (1-15) leading only 8-4 after one quarter.
"We had a hard time putting it in the hoop in the first quarter," SC coach Greg Trowbridge said. "Everything was running good, but we just weren't finishing."
A Kelsey Coleman free throw and Teslyn Tyner 3-pointer broke the ice, and the Cougars were off the races, taking a 31-8 halftime lead.
Freberg also had a game-high nine rebounds, while SC teammate Brooke Pasanen scored 16 points and Tyner had 11 and three steals.
For Engadine, Kassie Metcalf scored six points and Aspen Hood snared seven rebounds.
Games in this Big Bay de Noc-hosted district shift to Cooks on Wednesday, when the Cougars play 0-19 Rapid River at 6 p.m.
Munising 55, Grand Marais 30
At Munising in Class D, the Mustangs (11-10) put this game out of reach in the third quarter, shutting out the Polar Bears 19-0 after leading 30-18 at halftime.
Munising senior Sheena Sowa led all scorers with 17 points, while teammates Megan McLaren and Karlee Decet added 11 apiece. McLaren also grabbed eight rebounds.
For Grand Marais, Miranda Potter, who snared eight boards, and Elizabeth Scaife scored 11 points apiece.
The Mustangs also travel to Cooks on Wednesday to face the host Black Bears (3-15) at 8 p.m.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (558 votes).
In short: my first Half-Marathon, enjoyed race and setting Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Shocking organisation & undulating not flatIn full: Well, what can I say, this was definitely worse than last year.Didn't get my race pack 'til about 3 days before the race and even then my number looked like it'd been printed off a home computer since it didn't have the Nike swoosh on it like everyone else's did so made me feel like an outsider when everyone was stood round.Start was terrible - a 5k and 10k were being run about 2 minutes before the actual HM so the atmosphere was extremely claustrophobic and it was frustrating having to try and speed past slower 10k runners in that very narrow section where the road had been closed off.No timing pens or even timing signs so you pretty much had to judge for yourself if you wanted a set time. As a result, most runners started out too fast, 500 or so must have passed me and then I passed them at mile 2/3.From what I've heard from other forumites, baggage seemed to be a problem too.No mile marker at mile 9 which threw me off a bit and no energy drinks at all - their budget could have surely stretched to this.Not many marshals for a HM and the final mile had two rather steep inclines and then a swerve round a bend to the finish stretch - which was again, quite narrow and claustrophobic.No goodie bag and no refreshments after either - not even a bunch of bananas.Set a PB by 6 minutes - 1.39 but won't be doing this one again.Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Really enjoyable half marathonIn full: I had a great run so really enjoyed it. The uphill section in the last mile was hard on tired legs, especially as the course description said a 'flat course'(if its described as flat people expect it to be flat). If that part of the course could be altered to be flat then it would be perfect. It would have been nice to have an energy drink station on the course instead of having to carry your own all the way round. Marshalls were great - thanks it must have been very cold standing out there all that time!Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: New impoved version........wasn'tIn full: Disappointing as did this for 1st time last year and loved - new improved version wasn't.Things to improve:1) Start 10k more than 2 minutes before 1/2 (its not rocket science!)2) Start of course needs longer before narrowing - although above would help3) Don't have uphill at the end.Still - the parking was good..........Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Really enjoyable raceIn full: Really enjoyed this race, agree it was odd to start the 10k at the same time but overall, parking and getting there/getting away was fine, I didn't find crowding an issue (just what I would expect with a large race). The route was really pleasant, fab weather helped. Medal very nice!Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: TERRIBLE BAG COLLECTION. 1:20 to collect the bag - the same as it took me to run 10M!In full: terrible organisation, had a 10 K go off just before the main race with not separate pens for that race, nor the differing speeds of the half marathon runners.The final hill let into a narrow final funnel where there was insufficient space for last minute kicks to get going as being blocked.Followed by the worst bag collection in history.Whilst there was no 'goody bag' there were not even any energy drinks during the race.I would have to think long and hard about entering this race againDate of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Same opinion as everyone elseIn full: I haven't really got anything to add to what has already been said (and said far more eloquently than I could manage). It could have been a reasonable race, but was let down by a lack of organisation and a very steep price.Well done to Wetherspoons though, for stepping in and providing free goody bags to runners, containing a bottle of water, an energy drink and a muffin. Organisers please take note.Date of review: March 8, 2010
In full: For a first time big race the organisation was pretty good, there are always going to be some issues but I'm sure next year will be fine. It's a good course and about as flat as they come. Think there are some unfair comments on here. If you've got a problem with too many people getting in the way then don't enter an event with 5,000 entries! Enthusiastic marshalls too, which always makes a difference. Date of review: March 8, 2010
In full: Generally enjoyed this,though a couple of gripes.Firstly,can you PLEASE sort the baggage system out for next year.This seemed a real mess and the last thing runners need is an hour long wait to pick up their belongings.Also,at the time of writing,it appears that many of my fellow club runners have had their Bedford Harrier status ommitted from the results,causing some confusion.Date of review: March 8, 2010
In short: Terrible disorganised start and tough last mileIn full: Too many people on a tight dual carrageway which very soon became one lane. people running on the grass and tripping up each other. did not settle down for 5miles when the 10k people went their own way. Then tough last mile up to bridge over dual carrageway.Too many runners and not organised into groups of times. Organisation committee really need to think againDate of review: March 8, 2010

Some non-native species provide habitat for native plants and animals and can promote diversity.conservation biologists feared it might not leave enough for the native plants. If the native plants disappeared, so might the animals that depended on them, such as the endangered southwestern willow flycatcher. The government spent millions of dollars to stop the tamarisk, using bulldozers, herbicides, and even tree-munching beetles. Yet in recent years some researchers have concluded the initial worries about the threat of tamarisks to the water table were exaggerated. At the same time, conservation biologists have found the southwestern willow flycatcher nesting in tamarisk trees. Their fledglings do as well in the introduced trees as they did in the native ones. Getting rid of the tamarisk would mean getting rid of the habitat of an endangered bird.
The new paper in Conservation Biology has attracted strong criticism, some directed at its big message.introduced species can do some good. "It's going to cause one more round of reflection," says Schlaepfer.
