Expiration Date:?Jan 2021Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.77 lbs (0.35 kg)Shipping WeightThe Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

- Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil
The extract of Hawaii's fragrant Awapuhi plant brings additional softening properties to this gentle, but effective cleanser already rich in soothing extract of Goldenseal and essential oil of Chamomile. Eco-Harvest Tea Tree Oil leaves a clean that feels oil-free, and with regular use, helps improve your skin's texture and radiance.
Suggested Use
Moisten face with warm water and gently massage a small amount of cleanser in circular motions onto cheeks, chin, forehead and neck, avoiding contact with eyes. Continue for approximately one minute, then rinse thoroughly with cool water. Follow this procedure twice daily.
Other Ingredients
Castile soap (water (aqua), cocos nucifera (coconut) oil, tall oil, potassium hydroxide), glycerin, eco-harvest melaleuca alternifolia (tea tree) leaf loil, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower extract, hydrastis canadensis (goldenseal) root extract, hedychium coronarium root extract (awapuhi), fucus vesiculosus extract (bladderwarck), cymbopogon martini oil (palmarose), citrus aurantium amara (bitter orange) peel oil, lavandula angustifolia (lavender) oil, chamomilla recutita (matricaria) flower oil, calendula officinalis flower oil, callitris introtropica wood oil (blue cypress)
Avoid contact with eyes. In case of eye contact rinse immediately with plenty of water. Contact a physician if symptoms persist. Test a small amount against clean skin on forearm 24 hours prior to use.
I have very tricky skin, as it is sensitive, dry and fair, yet prone to acne. Most cleansers will overdry or irritate my skin, sometimes causing even worse acne. I have been using this cleanser for 2 years, and it has solved all of my problems. Because it is oil-based, it dissolved dirt and makeup very well. The tea tree oil penetrates into your skin and is naturally antibiotic, so it prevents break-outs. At 5 bucks, it is so much of a better value than the Kiehl's cleanser I used to use.
I've been using this for a couple of months, now, and I've nearly used one bottle up, so I ordered another. I have had problem skin, my whole life, made worse by the sebum over production I got in my teens, which never seemed to go away. I've had moderately oily skin since I was about 13, and I still have problems now. I've always used tea tree for breakouts in the "T" area around my nose, and I often get blackheads which really, I shouldn't be getting in my mid forties. It really does blight your life, having persistant skin problems. What I've noticed since using this skin wash, is that my skin doesn't "break out" as much, and despite having very sensitive skin that tends to peel due to sebhoriec dermatitis, my skin is much clearer, and makes me less self conscious. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the pump dispenser that it comes in tends to "gum up" and get blocked after a while, which is irritating, but it's a minor problem! I follow it with a splash of the Thayers Witch Hazel Cucumber Toner, which helps with any lingering dryness, but doesn't make my skin oily, and give me break outs like other moisturisers I have tried. I'm glad I have finally found something that seems to work on my problem skin, and long may it continue! I really hope it will, because I've been trying for more than 30 years to rid myself of skin problems!!!
very nice

Many pet owners have been in a situation where they have been walking around with their dog all day, and they want to eat at an outdoor restaurant but are not allowed to because their four-legged companion is with them. In Maryland, a law, which originally passed in March, will now allow dogs to sit outside with their owners at restaurants that have outdoor seating, according to the news channel WUSA-TV.
The law comes into effect starting in July, and there are a couple stipulations. The dogs must be on a leash and can not be left unattended. Also, restaurant owners have the right to not allow these furry friends into their establishment. If they approve it, they are required to have a sign up stating they allow pooches, the news source reports.
Even though now a dog owner can dine with their pooch, it does not mean they should give them any scraps from what their owners are eating. According to the ASCPA, there are several foods that do not affect us negatively but could hurt a canine's health, including avocado and raisins.

Haidt is a social psychologist whose research focuses on the emotive and anthropological bases of morality. His talk at GVSU for their Hauenstein Center for Presidential Studies and Business Ethics Center, focused mostly on the question of the roots of our political divides in the United States and how to move our public discourse in a more civil direction.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Dreadful organisation, would not do againIn full: The concept of the race is good, but the organisation has unfortunately again been terrible. Perhaps the race needs new organisers. The problems began before the race with poor parking arrangements and while the race itself was probably acceptable, the organisational shortfalls were evident straight after the finish, with poor access to the chip timing results and then horrendous queues for momentoes nd worst of all baggage return. Then to cap it all off, it transpires that the race hadn't even been officially measured and none of the performances are valid! I wouldn't mind so much if this was a charity or club run race, but this event is run by a Ltd company charging a horrendous entry fee and obviously making profits for the orgabisers. I'm surprised at some of the ratings received being so positive, but on closer inspection it appears that at least one of the Race Directors has left feedback on his own race (extremely favourable naturally) on 2 occasions under his own name! Very sad that he feels the need to distort what should be a runner-based feedback channel in this manner.Date of review: January 11, 2013

The pumpkins are here and ready for carving. As the weather begins to turn, pumpkin patches start to sprout throughout the county for families to stroll and find the perfect orange squash to carve into a Jack-O-Lantern. An age-old tradition, the annual walk of the pumpkin patch is the unofficial start to the holiday season (at least for kids and retailers). But little is more fun for parents than to see their toddlers waddle through the rows of brightly colored gourds and find the perfectly misshapen pumpkin to bring home for the porch. So in light of the season, palmbeachillustrated.com offers a quick list of some of the pumpkin patches around the corner for you to make some memories of your own.

Muffin & Cupcake Pans
Commercial Muffin Pans Make It Easy to Prepare Bulk Quantities of Confections
A commercial muffin pan gives you the space, durability, and versatility that any growing bakery needs to create large volumes of its most popular cupcakes and muffins. These muffin pans are all made to last in commercial settings with many of them made out of aluminized steel, aluminum, cast iron, and even carbon steel to ensure long-lasting durability. With so many options from which to choose, finding the right muffin pan for your needs takes only moments. Read more
Many of these commercial muffin pans come with a glazed coating, but there are also several that come with a non-stick coating for easy removal of more delicate foods. Every commercial muffin pan can be used to bake mini, standard, or large products with every use, and they can have a few molds or several dozen so that you can use them to make foods for occasional sale or make large batches of your most popular confections.

Granted this is just based on facebook, so it is scewed data, but things that stand out as odd. 1) it lists all the central Ohio counties as steeler, which judging by my observations is false. I would call Franklin county 50/50 Browns/Bengals (in fact north of I-70 tends to have the Browns fans, and south of it has all the bengals fans), so my guess is the steelers won the count because the Browns and Bengals split the population. Or maybe I just don't have my finger on the pulse of the facebook community.
Also it cracks me up that all southern Virginia is Cowboy country.
Also I want to meet all these facebook ass-wholes in NEO who are rooting for the Ravens in the SB.

Motofuji died in 2003. Their famous studio, Asbestos, was sold. We lost touch with the daughter.
Through my wife, I know many dancers and also get to see performers, especially from Japan. It doesn't surprise me that many talented dancers need to work at other jobs to support themselves. Public funding and general interest in cutting edge dance is limited. Koichi Tamano and his wife run a restaurant in S.F. These 2 are genius performers and the heirs of Hijikata.

New gaffe: Obama hails America's historic building of 'the Intercontinental Railroad'
Andrew Malcolm
September 23, 2011 | 5:24 am
"Were the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad," Barack Obama.
That's what the president of the United States flat-out said Thursday during what was supposed to be a photo op to sell his jobs plan next to an allegedly deteriorating highway bridge.
A railroad between continents? A railroad from, say, New York City all the way across the Atlantic to France? Now, THAT would be a bridge!
It's yet another humorous gaffe by the Harvard graduate, overlooked by most media for whatever reason. Like Obama saying Abraham-Come-Lately Lincoln was the founder of the Republican Party. Or Navy corpseman. Or the Austrian language. Fifty-seven states. The president of Canada. Etc.
If you talk as much as this guy likes to talk instead of governing, if you believe you are a Real Good Talker as much as this guy does, you're gonna blow a few lines. But this many?
No doubt, we'll see a collection of Obama's Best Bombs on 'Saturday Night Live' this weekend, one right after the other. No doubt.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimesblogs.latimes.com ...
He also said yesterday that Warren Buffet's secretary shouldn't have to pay a lower tax rate than Buffet.
it went to all 57 states
Anyway, what's he proposing, reparation to the Chinese?
You'd think he'd be familiar with trannys.
Is TOTUS loaded with Babel fish?
From Kenya to the 57th state?
The LA Times is reporting this?
It's the train that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs!!
Probably the schools in Indonesia didn't teach this.
Yep, built that damn thing to a county that speak Austrian.
What a moron.
his way out is to say its his new jobs plan, to build an intercontinental railway.
opportunistic media whore.
probably web-only reporting
It's yet another humorous gaffe by the Harvard graduate,
He is sait to be "brilliant". Does anyone have his grades from Harvard? I don't find him brilliant at all - devious, angry, anti American, and a liar but never brilliant.
It's yet another humorous gaffe by the Harvard graduate,
He is said to be "brilliant". Does anyone have his grades from Harvard? I don't find him brilliant at all - devious, angry, anti American, and a liar but never brilliant. They sure as $ell turned over every rock to find GWB's grades.
We don't need no stinkin' bridges...
...not when our President walks on water.
Their flag blows whichever way the wind takes it.
I'm so glad, I hate to fly and would love to go to Rome.
Still not as bad as "potatoe". /sarc
The intercontinental railroad connects all 57 states, some of which are the size of small continents in Obama's lame excuse for a brain.
Andrew Malcolm is the lone conservative at the LA Times.
We're also the country that built the Jupiter 2. And if it wasn't for Dr. Smith (R), we would all be living in the Alpha Centauri system while our planet healed itself.
"Were the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad"
To be fair, that depends by what he means by "we". I think the Trans-Siberian would qualify.
Chewbacca?! The surrounding cubicals must be wondering why I am physically ROTFLMAO. If they knew I would be sent to the re-education office
That's an unenviable position.
Frankly, I'm ignorant on papers like the LA Times, because I don't want to give their websites any hits.
ANYTHING anyone claims about "O's" intellectual capacity has to be regarded as a howling lie until or unless his actual academic record is verified.
I am still in shock that the MSM thought this was an incidental detail about "O's" background WHILE calling Bush (and ALL "O's" opposition) 'stupid', etc. REALLY????
There went your credibility, MSM
Paging Richard Dix! Ha, it's been thirty years since I saw that film on a late-show, but I still remember it.
I'd love to give the anointed one a vocabulary test.
Obama is a walking example of people being advanced throughout life with no basis of intellect or knowledge.
The oceanic rails were REALLY difficult. Lay a rail, come up for air, lay a rail come up for air...
Last time I saw it (A couple of years ago), I was thinking"Sheesh! This hasn't aged well!"...
Obama would sooner reveal he frequented bathhouses than he would his LSAT's.
That surely much be one of the worst presidential gaffes ever? That must have been pretty wet work building that sucker. Does a ticket come with an automatic swimsuit?
The honeymoon is over. Divorce to follow.
Presumably not to Mongolia after he blocked out their leader's face with his "classy" hand waving gaffe.
i know plenty of libs who can blab like they kissed the Blarney Stone and think they are making a difference but all they are doing is exercising their tongue.
If they wanted to make a difference they, like the wise old owl, would zip the lips.
At least he may know rudimentary Indonesian history.
And his great great grandfather Mogobo Atumbo Obama swung one of the sledges at the golden spike.

Getting a new puppy involves more than simply selecting the cutest one at the breeder or shelter. According to PetMD.com, potential dog owners need to consider each puppy carefully before making a final selection, as sometimes the best looking pup isn't the healthiest.
Most responsible breeders belong to the national parent club for the dogs they breed as a way to prove they take the necessary precautions to mate healthy dogs. As pure-bred dogs come from a more limited gene pool, they tend to be at a higher risk of developing health issues like hip displaysia, allergies or cancer. According to PetMD.com, if deciding to buy a dog from a breeder, potential owners should make sure the breeder is aware of specific health problems that can affect their breed of dog and that, when possible, appropriate screening and testing has been performed on their breeding dogs and/or puppies. It is prudent for a potential owner to inquire about the health and medical history of the breeders dogs and also ask about the breeders policy if a puppy develops a problem with a congenital or hereditary medical condition.
Once settled on a breeder, potential owners will need to assess the health concerns of the litter they view. Puppies in the litter should have healthy, shiny coats that are free of parasites and hair loss. None of the pups should be coughing, sneezing or have nasal discharge, vomiting or diarrhea. The animal's gums should be pink in color. A puppy that has noticeable breathing problems such as excessive wheezing or snorting may have health problems, so if choosing this pup, potential pet owners should make sure they are prepared to care for a puppy that may require extra medical attention from a veterinarian.
Once a healthy puppy is selected, owners must start socializing them right away to ensure a well behaved puppy as well, VCA Animal Hospitals reports. The first 12 to 16 weeks are the most important time to expose the canine to new relationships and teach it about its new environment. Appropriate socialization at this time, and continuing throughout the first year of life, may help dogs from developing a fear of the unknown or from becoming timid or aggressive to people or new situations.

Easter Sunday commemorates the glorious Resurrection from the Dead of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Literally, the Holy Bible tells us that the man named Jesus, crucified at the Hill of Golgotha on Good Friday, physically came back to life after three days inside a borrowed tomb nearby.
The doubting Apostle Thomas even dipped his finger into the left side wound in the body of Jesus and testified that indeed his Master has come to life!
The event, when applied to our human life, gives proof that indeed there is Another Life after death and a better life at that, for we will be gathered into a promised land called Heaven.
The promise, however, is conditional; - one must live by the teachings of Jesus Christ and those going wayward end up burning in Hell. Mag binootan ka, maha langit ka; ug motipas ka, sunog kas impierno.
Naa man gani pod relihiyon iyaha daw ni Cristo nga naghulga nga kon dili ka nila sakop, impierno ka. Dapat daw magpasakop ka nila aron maka adto kas langit. Ha
totoo ba yan? Naa tingale sila fixer didto moras LTO? Kon mao na, mag pa miembro ta nila!
With the flooding of, they say, scientific information confronting us today, some are also starting to ask: mabanhaw jod kaha ta? Ang way libog kong higala miingon: Ngano man diay ug motoo lang ta, unsa may mawala nato.
Well said; meaning, theres nothing to lose! Ug naa diay. Anyway, mangamatay man pod ta, pilosopo man ka o masunuron. Tinood jod na ug mismo ang bright kaayo nga si Haring Solomon nag-ingon: Walay mahinumdum sa maalamon ug sa buangbuang; ugma damlag kitang tanan hikalimtan, managsama, mangamatay kitang tanan maalamon ug buangbuang. (Ecclesiastes 2:16).
Pero bantay ta ha, kadtos Haring Solomon raba buyagon to, daghang asawa; gi-pul-an sa iyang kinabuhi mao nga ingon adto ang iyang sinultian.
Kitang usa ray asawa (nga gitug-an), basin lahi ang naghulat kanato; mabanhaw ug malangit ta (sana naman).
And dont forget, aside from rising from the dead, there is Immortality (Eternal Life) and thats the best part of the deal. We will live happily ever after!
A scholarly description says: The doctrine of immortality is common to many religions; in different cultures, however, it takes various forms, ranging from ultimate extinction of the soul to its final survival and the resurrection of the body. In Christianity and Islam, as well as in Judaism, the immortality promised is primarily of the spirit. But commonly, we are taught that after the resurrection of the body and a general judgment of the entire human race, the body is to be reunited with the spirit to experience either reward or punishment.
Sus daghana diay ug version ang pagka banhaw. Pero bisag usa lang nila ang imong toohan, basta hugot lang jod nang imong pagtoo, mabanhaw jod tingale ka!

A message from DailyWorth founder Amanda Steinberg:
When I started DailyWorth, I had a lot of goals in mind. Among them was the desire to help women become great negotiators by learning the tricks of the trade. Another was to address money taboos head on, even if the discussion became controversial. Finally, we vowed never to be boring or formulaic.
When we released this post, we knew it would spark heated debate. And it did. We've heard from a number of HR personnel in the DailyWorth community that even slight salary history inflations are illegal and could jeopardize your job application.
Update from New York Times coverage of this situation: "While inflating your salary may not be a criminal offense that can land you in jail (assuming you don't inflate your salary under oath or under penalty of perjury), it still can be a civil law issue. Specifically, according to Della Barnett, a plaintiffs' employment attorney in California, "Affirmative misrepresentation of a material fact can be construed as fraud" and your potential future employer could sue you for it."
Many thanks those of you who constructively and thoughtfully shared your opinions with us.

Most humans now live in teeming surface "Terrarium Cities," off world colonies or orbiting space stations. All of earth's resources have been depleted.

Black butler. Volume 11 & 12 by Yana Toboso (GN/MANGA) -- Whispers turn into screaming headlines in Earl Ciel Phantomhive's morning paper as word of the dead being resurrected takes society by storm. But when the unsavoury details of the business reach Ciel's ear, he and his superlative butler, Sebastian, book themselves on a luxury liner to look into these alleged miracles and the 'Aurora Society' conducting them. As the waters lap and crash all around the vessel, mysterious individuals gather under the banner of the 'Phoenix.' Ciel and Sebastian may be one step closer to the truth, but have they sealed their fates by conducting an investigation on what could easily become a floating coffin--?
Death, the deluxe edition by Neil Gaiman (GN/D) -- The first story introduces the young, pale, perky, and genuinely likable Death. One day in every century, Death walks the Earth to better understand those to whom she will be the final visitor. Today is that day. As a young mortal girl named Didi, Death befriends a teenager and helps a 250-year old homeless woman find her missing heart. What follows is a sincere musing on love, life and (of course) death. In the second story, a rising star of the music world wrestles with revealing her true sexual orientation just as her lover is lured into the realm of Death that Death herself should make an appearance. A practical, honest, and intelligent story that illuminates "the miracle of death."
Superman : Earth one. Volume 2 by J. Michael Straczynski (GN/DC) -- Young Clark Kent continues his journey toward becoming the World's Greatest Super Hero, but finds dealing with humanity to be a bigger challenge than he ever imagined!

Bleach. Vol. 52-54 by Tite Kubo (GN/MANGA) -- After a long struggle, Ichigo finally regains his Soul Reaper powers thanks to Rukia.

Avengers vs. X-Men by Jason Aaron, et al. (GN/MARVEL) -- The world-destroying Phoenix Force is back -- and this time, the Avengers are intent on stopping it. Cyclops and his X-Men have other ideas. To Captain America, the Phoenix threatens doom. To Cyclops, it could mean slavation. Marvel's two greatest leaders wage war, with the Phoenix's chosen host -- Hope Summers -- caught in the middle. As the fate of a girl trained from birth to be a mutant savior hangs in the balance, how far are Captain America and Cyclops willing to go? The answer lies in a battle so big no one world -- no one series -- could contain it!
American vampire. Vol. 4 by Scott Snyder (GN/A) -- Southern New Mexico Territory, 1871. Before he became the Wild West's most wanted man, before he became a whole new breed of American vampire, Skinner Sweet was a soldier in the U.S. Army. But he's still as dangerous and deadly as the monster he'd soon become. Skinner's willing to win the war with the local tribes by any means necessary. But so are they.

Bakuman. Vol. 14-16 by Tsugumi Oba (GN/MANGA) -- Is Akito Takagi and Moritaka Mashiro's newest rival also their greatest fan?

The realm of Seelie, the fairy kingdom of which Aliera is the hereditary defender, is under attack, and only Aliera and Caroline can set things right.

Canadian Grain Commission
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Gerry Ritz Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board
Mr. Speaker, those are more baseless allegations. There is absolutely nothing to this. The memo had nothing to do with this government. It is an internal document by the Canadian Grain Commission.
If the member thinks the allegations are serious, he should take them outside. I know my lawyer would welcome the opportunity to send her son to university.
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Raymonde Folco Laval—Les Îles, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives' vindictive, dishonest and incompetent attitude persists. Linda Keen was fired for putting the nuclear safety of Canadians ahead of the wishes of this government. The government was dishonest about the medical crisis. Its own medical advisor even said that the government had exaggerated the situation.
Why did the Prime Minister fire Ms. Keen, who was doing her job, instead of firing his own incompetent ministers?
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Tony Clement Minister of Health and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario
Mr. Speaker, that is not true. There was a problem facing Canadians and we had to take action to protect their health.
I can only quote Chris O'Brien, who is the head of the Ontario Association of Nuclear Medicine. He said this on the very day that we were debating the bill before Parliament:
Last week, I guess you could describe it as struggling. This week it's devastating, and next week potentially catastrophic.
That is what he said. This was a crisis. We acted on behalf of Canadians. We are proud we did.
Softwood Lumber
Oral Questions
2:45 p.m.
Vancouver Kingsway
David Emerson Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Pacific Gateway and the Vancouver-Whistler Olympics
Mr. Speaker, I had the occasion to meet with some of the Canadian forest industry this week. I have to say that they are very happy to have the protection that the softwood lumber agreement provides them, because without the softwood lumber agreement, there would be more vicious, more damaging trade actions and they would not have the over $5 billion in cash that was put into those companies' treasuries as a result of the softwood lumber agreement.
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Tina Keeper Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, Environment Canada's website says that temperature increases associated with the climate change crisis "could also be within acceptable limits for natural temperature variation".
The Prime Minister claims to support the science, yet his plan and his government's information does not reflect global scientific consensus.
This vindictive, dishonest and incompetent government is still skeptical about the science. Is this the reason the minister is muzzling Environment Canada's scientists?
The Environment
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Ottawa West—Nepean
John Baird Minister of the Environment
No, Mr. Speaker.
Oral Questions
February 6th, 2008 / 2:50 p.m.
Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, the Leader of the Opposition has never really been serious about getting tough on crime.
While the list of Canadians demanding speedy passage of the tackling violent crime act continues to grow, the Liberal leader is content to sit on his hands. His refusal to urge his Liberal senators to expedite the passage of the bill is a clear indication that fighting crime and protecting Canadians is not a priority for the Liberal leader.
In the absence of Liberal leadership, can the justice minister inform the House what he will do to get the Senate to move quickly on this very important bill?
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Niagara Falls
Rob Nicholson Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada
Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the hon. member for that timely question.
As a matter of fact, I will be appearing before the Senate this afternoon. I will do something that the Leader of the Opposition is unable or refuses to do, which is to ask the Senate to expedite the passage of the tackling violent crime act.
If the Liberals will not listen to me or their friends at Queen's Park, maybe they will listen to some other groups, like the Canadian Crime Victims Foundation, MADD Canada, the Canadian Centre for Abuse Awareness. They are all calling upon the Senate to do the right thing and expedite passage of Bill C-2. Canadians deserve no less.
Government Contracts
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Finance broke the rules and he admits it. He awarded a contract to a friend to write a lame speech on a bad budget. Even Jean Chrétien, the Prime Minister of sponsorships, fired Art Eggleton for paying $36,000 for 14 pages. In this case we are talking about $122,000 for 20 pages.
Does the Prime Minister realize that if he does not dismiss his Minister of Finance, he is proving that he has an even lower ethical standard than the sponsorship gang?
Government Contracts
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier this week, value for money was provided. The work was performed for the Canadian people. The administrative function was not followed and that has been corrected.
Government Contracts
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Thomas Mulcair Outremont, QC
Mr. Speaker, the illicit contracting question went to a Conservative loyalist and long-time political organizer for the finance minister.
We do know that Mr. MacPhie was not the finance minister's ex-girlfriend, but surely the Conservatives will want to be at least as ethical as the Liberals who are responsible for the sponsorship scandal.
Just last week the same finance minister publicly attacked his own local town council for a similar untendered contract for $134,000, saying "heads should roll".
When is the Prime Minister going to get rid of his finance minister?
Government Contracts
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Jim Flaherty Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I will not repeat the answer I have already given, but I will say that when combined with the initiatives that we took in budget 2006, this year there will be more than $21 billion in new tax relief for Canadians. In a time of slowing economy, this is equivalent to about 1.4% of Canada's economy. This will be delivered to Canadians in this year.
Child Care
Oral Questions
2:50 p.m.
Ken Dryden York Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, before the break, I told members of speaking to child care providers in Napanee, Ontario.
In Halifax-Dartmouth recently, I asked child care providers the same thing: "With the taxable allowance now available to their parents, how many more spaces are there?" "None", they said. "Then spaces with better facilities?" "None". "Then more of their parents are now staying home with their kids?" "None". I asked them again, "You say it is much worse than before, so you say 'none' when you really mean 'not many'? "No," they said, "None. Zero".
Who is telling the truth, the minister or the people of Halifax-Dartmouth?
Child Care
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Medicine Hat
Monte Solberg Minister of Human Resources and Social Development
Mr. Speaker, the facts are clear. The truth is that by working with the provinces, they are committing to create 33,000 new child care spaces, something that never occurred under the previous government.
The more important fact is that the opposition has told Canadians it is prepared to take back the universal child care benefit which benefits 1.5 million families, which gives families the money they need so they can make decisions for their own children. Shame on those members.

Police continue to investigate fatal fire
IRON MOUNTAIN – Officials are investigating a house fire that occurred early Wednesday morning in Iron Mountain, leaving one man dead.
The Iron Mountain Police Department responded to the 1200 block of South Milwaukee Avenue at approximately 3:51 a.m. CST Wednesday after a resident in the area reported a strange odor. Upon arrival, officers observed smoke coming out of the roof vents and eaves of a residence at 1232 S. Milwaukee Ave.
Initially, officers could not make entry into the residence due to the amount of smoke inside. The Iron Mountain Fire Department responded to the scene and upon entry located the body of a man.
An investigator from the Michigan State Police Fire Marshal's Office was contacted to investigate the incident.
The name of the deceased male is not being released at this time, pending notification of next of kin.
Iron Mountain Police and Fire departments were assisted on scene by the Kingsford Public Safety Department, Dickinson County Sheriff's Department, Beacon Ambulance and personnel from Wisconsin Electric and DTE.

eBay and other Auction links
To maintain the integrity of our forums, FatWallet does not allow links to auctions which may benefit the poster. All auction links are removed from our Hot Deals forum, and some from Deal Discussion at discretion of the moderator. Auction links for entertainment purposes only are allowed in our Off Topic and Off Topic: Politically Incorrect forums. Thank you.
UPCs and Cash Register Receipts
Cash register receipts and UPCs are frequently bought, sold or traded for fraudulent purposes. Therefore, we do not allow discussion of this topic in our forums. We understand there are legitimate reasons to request and offer these items. Still, to avoid subjective decision on each scenario and any chance of fraudulent activity, we choose a zero-tolerance policy. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and thank you for your cooperation going forward.
Coupons: De-coding and Misrepresenting
A coupon has printed text that describes the agreement between the consumer, the store, and the manufacturer. This text is what creates the agreement. The bar-coded information is a method to expeditiously handle the coupon-entry into the store's payment system.
The information revealed in the code may allow the code to be accepted by the store for a product other than that stated on the coupon, but if it does not fall within the stated text of the coupon, the use would be determined to be fraudulent [i.e. illegal].
Decoding is also known as coupon misredemption. Coupon misredemption takes place when a coupon is used other than in connection with the purchase of the product as stated in the PRINTED text. Decoding of coupons is a deliberate misuse and abuse of what the manufacturer intended.
With that in mind - any messages we are made aware of as having the fraudulent intent of misredemption of coupons will be deleted. Further, any discussion of coupon misredemption will be removed. Please take care not to discuss these issues in our forums. Thanks!
Coupons: Altering how-to, and links to altered coupons
FatWallet chooses not to associate in any way with altering coupons. Links to altered coupons are not allowed, nor is discussion of how to alter them.
Coupons: Scanned and image files
We intend to maintain our status as the best online shopping community, and opening our members and viewers to fraudulent activity is not in our collective best interest. Scanned coupons and saved coupon image files (PDFs) skirt around the manufacturers intended limitations on the number of copies that can be legally printed. Links determined by the moderator to contain such an image or to a file that was found to have been possibly modified will be deleted. Only links that go directly to the manufacturers website or known third party distributor are acceptable. Discussion of how to obtain these images will likewise not be allowed.
Fraudulent of otherwise Illegal Activities
FatWallet chooses not to associate with any activities which may be fraudulent or otherwise illegal. Please do not post messages that discuss or otherwise encourage misbehavior. Thank you!
No selling, buying or trading.
Consumer-to-consumer selling, buying and trading is not one of FatWallet's core competencies. Therefore, we decline to be involved with this process in any way. If you have a one-time-use coupon code you'd like to obtain or give away, please do so in that particular forum. Otherwise, we ask that your personal buying, selling and trading take place outside of our forums (on eBay, for instance). Thank you for your understanding.

Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell and Senior Coordinator and Executive Secretary for China and the Strategic and Economic Dialogue at the Department of Treasury David Loevinger previewed the upcoming U.S.-China Strategic and Economic Dialogue (S&ED). Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner will be joined for the Dialogue by the Chinese Co-Chairs, Vice Premier Wang Qishan and State Councilor Dai Bingguo, for the third joint meeting of the U.S.-China S&ED in Washington, D.C. May 9-10.
Assistant Secretary Campbell said, "...In many respects, it is our most important venue, our mechanism if you will, for managing this very complex relationship between the United States and China. Following on the successful visit of President Hu Jintao to Washington earlier this year, our intent is to make sure that we follow through on many of the areas that the two leaders and their senior teams committed to work together on.
"Secretary Clinton leads the strategic component of our dialogue, and her counterpart is State Councilor Dai Bingguo. We've tried to add a few innovations to this year's discussion. In addition to extraordinarily deep Chinese participation on a range of issues from a host of ministries and government agencies in China, we are also trying to find time for the principals and their key teams to sit down together to talk in an intimate fashion on some of the most important and critical issues confronting the relationship at the current time.
"I think our intent is to have a candid and honest set of discussions on a range of issues, starting with regional problems. We want to compare notes on where we stand with respect to North Korea, and we will be very clear on what our expectations are for moving forward. We will want to talk about our joint approaches to Iran, given recent developments. And we will also look farther afield -- our current interests and recent efforts to discuss issues in Sudan and elsewhere.
"We will also have discussions about cross-cutting issues. One of the goals of these dialogues is to bring together people from a variety of agencies and to break down the barriers inside both of our governments to more effectively tackle issues like energy security, development, food assistance, and the like.
"Another innovation at this year's Strategic and Economic Dialogue is that we will have military representatives at a senior level from the Chinese side, joined by senior military representatives both from the Pentagon and U.S. forces in Hawaii. I think our goal is to have discussions that bring together critical diplomats and military officials. I think our goal here is to create greater understanding around issues that have the potential for miscalculation and inadvertence in our relationship, and I think we all recognize that these security issues are increasingly important in the smooth management of our relationship going forward.
"I do want to underscore it is our intention to raise issues of concern directly, honestly, and opening with our Chinese interlocutors, including issues of concern associated with human rights.
"I think with that, that's our overall presentation. We start on Sunday night, a small dinner at Blair House. The Secretary -- the two secretaries will be having meetings both together and in respective agencies. Part of the Chinese delegation will be having meetings in the White House. We will have strong participation at every level of our government, and I think we all recognize how important it is that these discussions proceed smoothly and that there is a candid and clear set of interactions between our two sides to avoid problems of misunderstanding and miscalculation."
You can read the full transcript of the briefing here.
Donald M. in Virginia writes:
The concern for National Security in reference with China should be, when they launched the first aircraft carrier a month ago, and having the new B1 & B2 Bombers. How long before they start mass producing carriers, bombers and sending their military into action? We keep hearing how the Chinese Experts like reverse engineering. So my question is, how soon before China tries to rebuild or design a stealth helicopter from the remains of the helicopter that crashed in Pakistan.
Have a nice day!

Opera House launches $300K capital fund drive
For only the second time in its nearly 20 years of operations, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is embarking on a Capital Campaign to raise funds for needed improvements. The Campaign, titled Maintain & Sustain A Capital Campaign for the NEXT 20 Years, seeks to raise $300,000. It kicked off this week.
Opera House Executive Director Rick Davis says that the campaign will raise funding for needed technical improvements and for repairs to and replacement of various portions of the theatre's building and infrastructure. The greatest need, totaling $80,000, says Davis, is for the purchase and installation of new digital cinema projection equipment.
In a publication mailed this week to more than 1,500 theatre patrons and community residents, Davis discusses the digital cinema need:
"By now, you have no doubt heard about the dilemma facing the nation's small movie houses and performing arts centers that offer film series," Davis said.
"The film studios, in a rare concerted move, have declared that by the end of 2013, they no longer will produce films in a 35mm film print format. Rather, they will only produce films digitally and distribute them on encrypted computer hard drives that are designed to work with specialized digital projection equipment. A number of the studios already have begun this transition by reducing the number of prints they manufacture, making it hard even now to secure 35mm prints of many movies. Thus the dilemma facing theatres, like the Opera House, that offer movies in a 35mm format, is that they must make a decision convert to a digital cinema projection system or stop presenting movies.
"For the Opera House, the decision is an easy one. The Cinema Series is our most popular and thus best attended series of events here at the Opera House. It constitutes roughly 43 percent of our annual attendance. We have a solid audience base for movies; and we believe that we offer something the commercial movie theatres cannot, a quality movie-going experience in a warm atmosphere where people feel they are part of a 'community.' Thus, we will purchase and install digital cinema projection equipment, even though converting to the film industry's proprietary digital projection system will cost the Opera House just shy of $80,000."
The campaign also will seek to raise money for other needs which include upgrades to and/or replacement of technology used in presenting live performances. "Live performance events here at the Opera House utilize our existing technology to the utmost," Davis said. "We periodically rent additional sound equipment; we often force modifications to pre-established lighting designs; and we routinely decline presenting some artists and shows due to our technical limitations. This campaign will provide improvements to this equipment, which are basic equipment needs essential to keeping a theatre running today."
Other needs to be funded by the campaign include repairs to the facility itself. The Opera House has operated year-round since 1997. This constant use has caused wear and tear on the facility and its fixtures. The air conditioning system for the theatre is now 17 years old; and regularly scheduled service checks routinely yield needed repairs or replacement of parts. Inevitably, it will need to be replaced entirely at a substantial cost. Seat bottoms have been moved so that the most worn cushions now occupy the least-used rows of the theatre; but as the Opera House staff strives to increase attendance, these uncomfortable seats will become the subject of patron complaints.
The Temple Street fire exit doors have rotted on the outside and need to be replaced. Sections of the theatre walls need a fresh coat of plaster to keep the crumbling at bay. And portions of the 120-year-old window frames and sashes have rotted and need to be replaced. Weatherization of these windows will help extend their life as well as minimize distraction to patrons from sound outside the building.
Davis notes that over the past few months, some longtime supporters of the Opera House have been approached as part of a Leadership Giving solicitation. "Thanks to the generous support of these members, this effort has raised funds totaling nearly 20 percent of the Campaign's goal. So we launch our campaign already having taken a healthy step toward its success."
Those wishing to contribute to the Maintain & Sustain campaign can donate funds outright or pledge donations to be paid over a period of up to three years. Gifts of stock or investments also will be accepted. It's important to note that the money raised from the Maintain & Sustain campaign will not be used for daily operations, but will be restricted to funding the needed capital improvements. Likewise, the Opera House's annual membership campaign, conducted in the fall of each year, will be used to generate funds for general operating purposes.
Chautauqua County's only year-round performing arts center, the 1891 Fredonia Opera House is a member-supported not-for-profit organization located in Village Hall in downtown Fredonia. A complete schedule of events is available at www.fredopera.org.

Finally! Western medicine & psychology have long
Finally! Western medicine & psychology have long overlooked the wisdom (and practicality) of Eastern ways of working with the mind and its maladies. The practice of meditation is the cornerstone of this work. Do it. It works. Many thanks to David Lynch and others!

I believe 100% in the benefits of meditation, TM included
I believe 100% in the benefits of meditation, TM included. Some treatment providers within the VA have been using it as a form of treatment for PTSD for some time, which is wise and forward thinking.
Watching the video for any length of time was a little annoying as I had to hit pause and then play again to keep the picture going.
After watching quite a ways through (pause, resume, pause, resume) I never did get through to the end, there was some other type of interruption. But the further I got, the presentation did begin to take on the feel of some kind of revivalist meeting. A few big names, lots of testimonial about how great it is with very little in the way of detail or what the audience will be asked to do. Yet. I got curious and looked up the website for The Transcendental Meditation Program, James Krag's organization. Adult course fee: $1500.

It's difficult not to get enthusiastic about TM. I got great results from my first meditation - I started feeling very happy, instead of being anxious, tense and depressed as I had been for several years. I didn't understand why such a change took place when I first learned the technique, but having studied the extensive research carried out over some forty years, I have come to understand that many physiological and psychological changes take place when you practise it regularly. They come through the release of deep stresses (physiological abnormalities caused by any overload of experience), and through the gradual development of the total brain, instead of having to get by with using only the small parts developed through our present information-based educational system. The changes that take place are very real, very concrete, and have been proven over and over again.
It would be great if all leaders in the armed forces, police force, and the fields of education and health could see this video and then check out all the research on TM for themselves. Then try the technique for themselves. As the saying goes, the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Giving to veterans and soldiers Transcendental Meditation
Giving to veterans and soldiers Transcendental Meditation would be a great way to express our gratitude to the men and women who risk their lives to protect our nation.

While listening to your recent program on Doris Taylor,
While listening to your recent program on Doris Taylor, especially the latter segment where she spoke of her research on Matthieu Ricard and her belief in the healing efficacy of meditation, I had the repeated thought that you guys ought to do a program on Transcendental Meditation. Now I feel encouraged that you might do so! Thanks for all the great shows, it's one of the best programs on the air.

I think that this is remarkable. I have over the years
I think that this is remarkable. I have over the years been interested in Mr. Lynch's filmmaking having studied his films at college. But I am even more delighted with his philanthropic work. Maybe it takes a creative mind like his to bring forth an unorthodox solution like this. I must say that I am surprised that meditation can be applied so reliably and realistically to such an intense problem. The federal government's funding of research certainly is extremely impressive knowing how competitive their grants for research are. As much as I enjoyed listening to the experiences of the veterans who had PTSD and who felt benefit from their TM experience, I think that the reports by the three doctors and two researchers that had measured results through objective tests was what is clearly most impressive. I can only hope that this new yet ancient approach to helping people overcome the ravages of traumatic stress really works. My heart really goes out to our veterans who are coming back from Iraq and Afghanistan with PTSD and we really need to find ways to help them. I certainly hope that the people at the Veterans Administration are alert to this and are open to using new, "evidenced-based" approaches like this.

Can this be applied to soldiers still out in the field? A marine from my state was taken prisoner and I would pray that he would be able to enjoy the strawberries growing from the vine as the tiger chased him over the cliff; it a Zen/Taoist story of finding peace in the moment. I always thought it would be helpful for those still in the field to utilize these traditions. I live in a bad neighborhood, even my pets have PTSD (one is paraplegic from neighbor shooting it), it is indeed hard to mediate when you are still in the environment, but if they had the proper support, the proper follow through, it definitely helps. They deserve all the support they need to enjoy the freedoms they fought for us to have.

Skip to comments.Election 2012: Ohio President: Obama 49%, Romney 49%
Posted on 11/02/2012 11:47:47 AM PDT by ScottinVA
With four days to go, President Obama and Mitt Romney are tied in the critical battleground state of Ohio.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Ohio Voters finds Obama and Romney each with 49% support. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, while one percent (1%) is undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Ohio remains one of eight Toss-Up states in the Rasmussen Reports Electoral College Projections. Obama won the Buckeye State in 2008 by a 52% to 47% margin.
At the beginning of the week, Romney held a slight 50% to 48% advantage. It was the first time Romney has taken even a modest lead in the race of Ohio's 18 Electoral College votes since late May, but the two candidates have been within two percentage points of one another since then.
Forty percent (40%) of Ohio voters say they have already cast their ballots, and among these voters, the president has a comfortable 56% to 41% lead.
Both candidates earn better than 90% support from voters in their respective parties. The president is ahead 50% to 41% among voters not affiliated with either major political party.
(Excerpt) Read more at rasmussenreports.com ...
Just shoot me now. :(
It's the margin of error which means basically no movement
Independents back Obama by a healthy margin. Ugh...
Dang it. And Rasmussen got an A- for their accuracy in previous elections. They get it right 97 percent of the time. I can't believe that many Americans are this dumb.
WTH? Independents are trending to the Prez all of a sudden?
I'm thinking the data behind these two statements are why Romney ventured into PA:
Forty percent (40%) of Ohio voters say they have already cast their ballots, and among these voters, the president has a comfortable 56% to 41% lead.
Both candidates earn better than 90% support from voters in their respective parties. The president is ahead 50% to 41% among voters not affiliated with either major political party.
I hope that ground game for Mitt is real.
It would be better if you just turned off your computer. :)
Sandy!!!!!!! You slut!!!!! lol.
The hand of God will decide this election. Pray. Pray often.
This is the effect of the Christie/Sandy October surprise.
Or maybe independents were always with Obama and Rasmussen was just screwing with Romney supporters.
Because 0bama handled Benghazi so well? Because goods and services to Hurricane Sandy victims are abundant? Because the jobs data looks stellar? Because 0bama acts so presidential? Sounds like the media is setting us up for an 'outrageous election result' in Ohio when Romney kicks 0bama's commie azz.
Cold air must be filtering in because anyone with a clear mental facalty who votes for O clearly has a frozen sense of reason.
Let us pray that Team R&R knows something about Ohio that isn't being picked up by Ras. They are going to PA on Sunday.
I don't get the sudden massive shift in independents showing across Rasmussen polls. It doesn't seem like anything happened that would have caused this.
Or maybe Ohio has more people sucking from the government teat than we realize?
Sh*t, I don't know...
Sadly it's all but over now. Romney supposedly had a double digit lead with independents and its been erased in mere days. The media has finally tipped the scales. We'll never win another presidential election unless we run a minority.
Well Obama bought them off with the auto bailout. Socialism may be a gigantic economic loser, but it is a very big election winner. About half of American are going to march off to the polls and vote themselves some freebies - and that number is only going to grow as dependency spreads.
Thoughts on the sudden shift of I's to Obama?
Well, so much for Ohio.
You are right. I have withheld judgment on Christie's actions this week but if Obama wins by a hair, Christie is done in the Republican Party. He gave the media the exact optics they wanted this week to change the narrative. Romney had this won on Monday. It would appear to be tightening up, even if we still have an edge.
You see, this is why polls are unreliable, even one as meticulous as Rasmussen. The actual early vote is at about 29% of expected turnout, not 40%, and that early vote has been concentrated in Democrat-leaning counties, as a result of the Obama campaign emphasis on early voting. These numbers just aren't accurate.
You only need to look at the public school system. Over the last 30 years they have indoctrinated them with liberalism and MARXISM. This is the result.
So much for Ohio? An incumbent is tied and under 50% four days before an Election Day. That's not good historically.
Well, we don't know that yet, but it's a bit grimmer than the last one. We'll see. It's not like R is trailing big here.
watching wimpy handwringers crying and peeing their pants everytime this idiot rasmoosen puts out a new poll is like watching a cat playing with a mouse. some people are hopeless.
Bingo. Not necessarily that Ras was lying, but MANY media pollsters had Romney way up with "independents" weeks ago. I predicted in a thread then that it was just a ploy so that they could show him crashing back down at the end.
As far as Bonzo's big lead among those who have already voted in Ohio, the math majors on this site have been telling us for weeks that early voting in Ohio and pretty much everywhere else has trended *significantly* toward the Republicans when compared to 2008. A spreadsheet says so.
Nevermind that Romney is still far, far behind in early voting in Ohio (not as far as McCain was though — whoopee!) and that Josh Mandel is getting absolutely stomped by the dirtiest, slimiest Democrat bastard in the Senate, and has been all along, and doesn't seem to be fighting back much if at all.
Obama is actually doing worse than expected in early voting. He is behind 2008 and what was expected this year.
Sorry, wrong copy-paste on the last one. At least it's still within the MOE. The turnout will still be strong... we'll see.
Since that news hit, market has fallen 60 points...guess some are selling before the coming tax increases or need to leave the country.
My cousin works for a firm that is held by a venture capital group (not Bain). They have been trying like mad to get it sold before the end of the year just due to the uncertainty of the coming tax increases and their desire to pay as little tax as possible on the sale. I was always told to not worry about taxes when doing an investment but this clown and his party have me avoiding doing anything to boost their coffers on my back so they can buy more votes. I am tired of carrying the non producers and malingerers, the bums and the lazy. My word for His Excellency, I am tired of being a dormat, go find someone else to support your stash if you get elected. Call me selfish or whatever, but I am done...over and out and you can reach me at the beach.
we need to pray for rain in Ohio. We need Ohio, Badly, without it we are climbing Everest, with it we are marching across a field. Rain in Ohio always helps Conservative causes in Ohio.
I don't see how either. i simply don't see how anyone is shifting at the last second. The lines are drawn and people are pretty hardened in their positions.
Obama drew only 2600 today and Romney is expected to draw 50,000 tonight. I would hardly say its over.
Um...wasn't this 48/48 this morning? There's another thread clearly on today's numbers under Breaking News.
so 99% of polls are left leaning with a minimum of +5 democrat oversampling and we're supposed to fall for this crap the weekend going in?
Romney pulling crowds of 50K and Obama maybe drawing 5K?
All RCP does is take an average of leftwing polls which is basically worthless.
Get real people.
At most 1.5 million votes have been cast. Gmu shows 1.25 as of 10/30. Turnout will be 5.7 million. Mark my words 5.7 million. 1.5 million out of 5.7 million is 26% not 40%.
It helps to have hard data when interpreting early vote percentages. All polls have been off with regards to the amount of early votes being cast. People are obviously lying to pollsters by saying they have voted when they havent.
Wow, news to me - have a source?
And these morons will be all over this site all fricking weekend.
Many of them are DU trolls as evidence by their date of joining FR (usually within a month or so of a past national election).
The rest are the resident losers that are spending their time looking at polls and have spent zero minutes volunteering with GOTV efforts.
It's not a good poll if it says 40% have already voted according to Ken Garner
Help me on this one as I can't follow the math...tied at 49% but Obama ahead 56%-41% of the 40% who have already cast ballots, and Obama up 50% to 41% with independents and more than 90% support the candidate of their party. Either this is a +R poll or this statement is backwards-—"The president is ahead 50% to 41% among voters not affiliated with either major political party."
You're referring to Ras' national poll.
While the early voting numbers are not encouraging the Independent numbers are awful. Romney can't win any crap in any swing state that has him down 9 with independents. And in order for Rasmussen to show a tie in Ohio with Independents +9 for Obama he is giving the R's all the benefit of turnout. This one ruined my day.
Geeze, and people call me a pessimist....
I think we're seeing a little bit of a Sandy bounce for Obama. Mitt had momentum and it appears to have been stopped for the moment. Unfortunately, we had an act of God, hurricane Sandy, at the last moment of this election cycle and it was one that seems to have helped Hussein.
It's very possible this little bounce will fade and Romney's poll position will improve the last couple days.
Turnout was 5.7 in 2008 in Ohio too, and 5.6 million in 2004; it will be remarkable if it *doesn't* get to 5.7 million in 2012, not if it *does*.
Still leaves a bit of work to do on election day.
I was trying to figure that out myself, unless Rasmussen fat-fingered that 40% figure for the early voters.
