Your responsibility as the Building Level Administrator/Principal/Director/Supervisor for your Year Two IMAP Teachers and School Service Personnel is very important. In the past, IMAP Year Two Teachers and School Service Personnel had to complete a portfolio in order to satisfy their IMAP requirements. Though the portfolio concept had the best intentions, it was felt by former IMAP Teachers, School Service Personnel, Scorers, Mentors, Administrators and the Indiana Department of Education that the portfolio caused a great deal of stress and anxiety and took a great deal of time and energy from the beginning educator. In addition, the results of the portfolio did not really establish whether new teachers and school service personnel were ready for their five-year Proficient Practitioner license. The attachments below are the replacements for the portfolio requirements. The Indiana Department of Education feels that you are the best person to ascertain how the new educator has developed at this point.
Each assessment has been designed for either a 2nd Year IMAP Teacher or a 2nd Year IMAP School Service Personnel (School Nurse, School Counselor, School Social Worker, and School Psychologist). You and the Year Two IMAP candidate should meet at the beginning of the school year (or as soon as possible) to discuss each principle or standard. This tool can be used as a part of your normal evaluation of the IMAP candidate as you check on their progress throughout the school year. In order for the IMAP candidate to move to the next level of licensure, they must be at the proficient level for at least 80% of the whole assessment (eight out of 10 Principles for Teachers, five out of seven Standards for School Service Personnel).
Once you have completed the appropriate assessment tool, a copy of the completed tool should be given to the IMAP candidate. DO NOT send the assessment tool to the IDOE. The original can be placed in the candidate's file. The IMAP candidate must have an IMAP completion letter from you to apply for his or her Proficient Practitioner license. We have included a template for you to use.
To assure that all 2nd Year IMAP candidates have completed their IMAP requirements and are eligible, we are asking for a final confirmation from either the School Corporation or individual schools on their 2nd Year IMAP candidates. This confirmation is the School IMAP Approval Form which is to be emailed as an attachment to Tammi Doss at email@example.com.
This step may have already been done by your school corporation, so please check with them before completing this form. No licenses will be processed by IDOE without this final confirmation.
Please open and review the documents below for directions and to complete the approval form.

Fact Sheet Series 2004 - Secondary and Technical Education
The OVAE Fact Sheet Series highlights efforts currently underway at the Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE) to support the principles of the President's No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The principle(s) supported by this effort are:
- Increase Accountability and Academic Achievement
- Increase Options and Involvement for Parents and Students
- Focus on What Works
The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), Title I, Part H, established the school dropout prevention program. Recent statistics put the daily rate of dropouts in high schools throughout this country at approximately five thousand students a day, certainly an alarming statistic for the 21st century. The NCLB Act strives to change that statistic by providing successful academic school environments for all students, including those most at-risk, and assuring that no child is left behind.
This grant program awards funds to State Education Agencies or local school districts and is designed to implement research-based, sustainable, and coordinated school dropout prevention and re-entry programs for students in grades 6-12. The grants are meant to support the following types of activities: professional development, counseling and mentoring for at-risk students, reduction in teacher-student ratios, and the implementation of comprehensive high school reform models.
Additionally, the Department will create a national recognition program that identifies schools that have been effective in lowering dropout rates for all students.
Outcomes and Products
- Compliance with National Center for Education Statistics requirements by 2004
- Legislatively mandated data collection authorization on the "effectiveness" of the programs
- The establishment of a national clearinghouse that will disseminate information on effective school drop-out prevention and re-entry program research and practices
FY 2001 to FY 2004

everything was perfect.
I had a wonderful stay this summer (2014). The location was perfect! It was close to the beaches a supermarket and even the city center and clubs arent that far! Its a quite nice neighbourhoud with lots of bakeries in the area with delicious sweets, It is also close to the tram and metro lines are easily accesible which makes travelling easy. The house itself was very clean and cozy everything you need it is included! George is a very helpfull and nice caretaker! Whatever question or problem you have you can contact him and he we be assisting you at his best immediatly! I am recommending this amazing beachflat to everyone who wants to have a relaxing good time and close to the good places in Athens! You will feel right at home !
We were very satisfied with the apartment. The apartment was clean and the service was very good and nice. I can only recommend the apartment ....
Wir waren super zufrieden mit der Wohnung. Die Wohnung war sauber und der Service war sehr gut und nett. Ich kann die Wohnung nur weiterempfehlen ....
Hello, I had 4 wonderful days in Athens, we were 4 people and the apartment which is also very good and clean. In particular, the proximity to the center, the Acropolis and Plaka has surprised us, on foot it is 10-15min, by taxi it does not cost more than 5 euros. George was a good host. Greeting
Hallo, ich hatte 4 Wunderschöne Tage in Athen, wir waren 4 Personen und die Wohnung was auch sehr gut und sauber. Vor allem die Nähe zum Zentrum, Akropolis und Plaka hat uns überrascht, zu Fuss sind es 10-15min, mit dem Taxi kostet es nicht auch mehr als 5 Euro. George war auch ein guter Gastgeber. Gruss
Very nice appartment. Well situated. great view. Everything was also very well organised. Great trip we had.
The apartment looks exactly like the photos show. In general it was very tidy, clean and modernly refurbished, although some devices were out of order (oven, half cooker...). We also missed a microwave.
The blinds kept the apartment completely dark at night and only a small and discontinuous sound from the fridge could annoy people with sleep problems. But it was not a problem at all for my fiancée and me.
The only inconvenience we found was the location. The apartment is a bit far from the city centre (45 minutes by walking) and the closest metro station is 10 minutes by walking.
All in all, I would recommend this apartment. However, if I would gone back to Athens I'd try to stay in an apartment better located.
The apartment was very comfortable. It was very accessible and in a great location. I would stay here again with ought a doubt. The only negative comment I could make on the apartment is that the hot water tank was not sufficient for one to wash before running out of hot water. All went well until the morning we had to leave. We were not told that the front building door is bolted at night and therefore when we left to get our taxi at 7am we were locked in. Thankfully the taxi driver helped us by ringing everyones door bell until someone came to help. Otherwise we would have lost our plane. The emergency door leading to the basement was also bolted. Shudder to think what would happen if there was an emergency evacuation scenario.So before vacating the apartment for good please remember to check that the front building door is not bolted shut.
The hotel was great! The area is a bit noisy, but you get used to it, the crowd that had begun at dawn. The beach was close but it was pretty crowded and messy so I had to go out every day can get away from beaches to search. The city, the bazaar is 10 minutes away by car. It was nice but a shame that such garbage, this was a bit dirty there would be observed.
The accommodation, receiving the keys was discussed according to each, it was absolutely fine !!!
The apartment is very good, near the metro that takes you to the center of Athens ... There is a bakery, pharmacy, cafes and a supermarket well next, George proved to be a good person and the next door neighbor has treated us very well and willing any kind of help.
French for "bobo", the place is ideal for the first view (exceptional), then the situation (quiet and 3 minutes walk from "peripatos" path that goes around the Acropolis ). For the hostess Marianne attentive and fluent French. And for "Terrace" surrounded by plants and trees which grow 2 which act as umbrella and a rooftop swimming pool that allows a necessary relaxation after hot days of sightseeing. Our favorite heart of the 5-occupied housing during our stay in Greece (tied with another). Thank you to Marianne.
Pour les français "bobo", l'endroit est idéal, pour la vue d'abord (d'exception), la situation ensuite ( calme et à 3 mn à pieds du "peripatos" : chemin qui fait le tour de l'Acropole). Pour l'hôtesse : Marianne attentive et parlant couramment français. Et puis, pour "la Terrasse" entourée de plantes et sur laquelle poussent 2 oliviers qui font office de parasol et une piscine sur le toit qui permet une détente nécessaire après de chaudes journées de visites. Notre coup de cœur parmi les 5 logements occupés pendant notre séjour en Grèce(à égalité avec un autre). Merci à Marianne.

text: Dropped my truck off this morning at a local repair shop with leaky transmission lines. Shop had it "fixed" by 12:00pm so I stopped by to pay for it ($158) and get my key back. Receipt shows they replaced 3 trans lines. Wife brings me to the shop tonight to pick up the truck and the CEL is now on. So, I shut off and dropped the key back into the key drop. I'll be calling them back in the morning. Any idea what they could have done in the process of changing trans lines to cause a CEL?? Thanks!!

If you keep track of the weather during the mating period where do you draw the line between good enough weather and not good enough?
In a perfect situation there would be perfect weather every day between planting a cell and finding brood - giving virgin queens every opportunity to mate at their leisure. Those are the queens I want going into winter.
I'm starting to see that when you buy commercial queens it is probably best not to go for early delivery.
I'm also starting to picture the crappy side of being a queen producer - customers crying for early delivery, and then it rains most of the time for a week.
Do you ship queens that might be poorly mated and make the customers happy for now - or do you pinch a weeks pay, make those people mad, and set your schedule back?
You guys who can manage all that and keep your reputations intact sure have my respect.

I think if someone who has experience with stippling polymer could stipple to your satisfaction. Glock's top shooter, Dave Sevigny, has a custom stippled frame and it looks inviting - I would love to try it out. You might try contacting Glockmeister or some other specialized Glock supplier and see what they have to say.

Worst Boston Sports Column Nominees
Last week, I asked for your help in coming up with some of the worst Boston sports columns of recent memory. 100 comments later, we've got quite a pool to choose from.
Here are some of the ones you mentioned:
Dan Shaughnessy from January 10th, 1999 – "As the Jets take off, let's get on board – Foes have familiar faces" In this column, just two seasons removed from Bill Parcells leaving the Patriots, and a year after Parcells took Curtis Martin from New England with a "poison pill" contract, Shaughnessy tells Patriots fans they should root for the Jets in the playoffs.
Jackie MacMullan from September 26th, 2006 – Body betrays a mental slump – reading Tom Brady's Body language.
Bob Halloran, date unknown. Unfortunately don't have a link for this one, This one was actually on ESPN.com and this was in the height of the Brady/Bledsoe debate, and Halloran compared Brady to a sneeze guard at a buffet.
The infamous Ron Borges draft analysis of 2001…you know the one:
"On a day when they could have had impact players David Terrell or Koren Robinson..they took Georgia defensive tackle Richard Seymour, who had 1 sacks last season in the pass-happy SEC and is too tall to play tackle at 6-6 and too slow to play defensive end. This genius move was followed by trading out of a spot where they could have gotten the last decent receiver in Robert Ferguson and settled for tackle Matt Light, who will not help any time soon."
Sadly, Borges can't even blame Mike Sando for that one.
Jim Donaldson, May 6, 2005 – Ainge Code may be hard to decipher. Yikes.
Michael Muldoon (Lawrence Eagle-Tribune) Feb 5th, 2008 – Time for classless Belichick to eat some humble pie.
Dan Shaughnessy, June 10th, 2008: Smoke and mirrors – Red takes me through his looking glass
Ron Borges, January 20th, 2002 – Ruling Keeps It From Being A Just Win, Baby. Quotes from Ben Dreith about how bad Walt Coleman's "tuck rule" call was.
Tony Massarotti – March 16th, 2009 – The Bostonian's guide to sports injuries
Bob Halloran – Coach is Not the Saint He was Portrayed to Be – "He took the feel-good story of the autistic high school basketball team manager, who came into the game and kept hitting 3-pointer after 3-pointer, and decided to play contrarian by viciously ripping the coach."
Kevin Mannix – Boston Herald, 09/05/04 – the "Consumer Fraud" article.
Will McDonough, Feb 16th, 1997 – "An Inside Look At Parcells-kraft Here's How They Came To The Breaking Point In A Tumultuous Year." The one that starts with "This is my story and I'm sticking to it because I lived it and know it is right."
Shaughnessy pretends to be Curt Schilling: Famous guest blogs in – Given 'invite,' Schilling issues direct answers March 25th, 2007.
Shaughnessy's one-mile per day column, Jan 6th, 2003.
Tony Massarotti, June 2nd, 2006: Hey fake fans: Make like Damon and leave. Contrast that with his column last year about New England being "the official home of yahoos, hero worshipers and gutless suck-ups."
Shaughnessy, Oct 20, 2004: Now wait just a minute: Series still must be won. "The Curse isn't over until I say it is, dammit!"
The sad thing, we're still not even scratching the surface here.
(Yes, there have been plenty of GOOD sports columns too, we'll discuss those in a future session here.)
So here are 20 nominees for the worst Boston sports column in recent memory:
Sox Prep For Opener
With opening day less than a week away, the Red Sox are making their final tuneups and adjustments in preparation.
Sean McAdam has David Ortiz determined to show that he can hit without Manny Ramirez behind him. Alex Speier has a feature on John Smoltz, starting his career over in a new place after 21 years with the Braves. Daniel Barbarisi has the Sox downplaying a rough spring by Jonathan Papelbon. Lenny Megliola says that the Red Sox have plenty of pitching plots to discuss.
John Tomase and Tony Massarotti have Daisuke Matsuzaka impressing with a quick, tidy and economical outing yesterday. Rob Bradford has the Sox happy that Dice-K returned from the WBC in one piece. Barbarisi says that Matsuzaka was a model of efficiency yesterday.
Steve Buckley says that Clay Buchholz is way to valuable to be trading away for help at another position (like catcher). Buckley thinks the Red Sox should remember the case of Bronson Arroyo. Barbarisi has Smoltz feeling strange to be on the other team against the Braves. Maureen Mullen looks at the decision looming on the fifth outfielder position. Joe Haggerty examines some roster battles still raging for the Sox.
Bob Ryan pitches for the ABCD "Field of Dreams."
Tomase's notebook has John Smoltz making the trip to Atlanta to see his old teammates and hang out with Tiger Woods. Massarotti's notebook has Terry Francona planning on batting J.D. Drew fifth in his lineup. Barbarisi's notebook has Rocco Baldelli getting into a groove.
Gerry Callahan echoes Glenn Ordway's four hour lecture from the Big Show yesterday – without Kevin Garnett the Celtics have no chance. I'm so glad we have these fearless commentators around to tell us the truth about these things. Mark Murphy has Danny Ainge saying that there isn't reason to worry regarding KG, the team is just being cautious with him.
Jim Fenton looks at the hot shooting of Eddie House and Ray Allen this season. Marc J. Spears has House close to shooting himself into Celtics history. Scott Souza has Stephon Marbury and Mikki Moore finally rounding into form for the Celtics. Mark Murphy also looks at the improvement from Moore in the last game.
Ron Hobson has the Patriots kicking off the celebration of their 50th season and that of the AFL as well. As part of that, the team announced All Decade teams for the 70's, 80's and 90's yesterday. Mark Farinella looks at 10 players making multiple All-Decade teams for the Patriots. Jim Donaldson says that picking all time Patriots squads is not easy task. Christopher Price goes the other way – naming the 10 worst first round picks for the Patriots.
Glen Farley says that we shouldn't fit them for Super Bowl rings just yet, but the Patriots have improved this offseason. Karen Guregian has James Sanders happy to be back with the Patriots, especially after a nice conversation with Bill Belichick, who told him how much he enjoys having him on the team.
Mike Reiss has the Patriots bringing Missouri DE Ziggy Hood in for a look. Shalise Manza Young has a look at Vanderbilt's D.J. Moore.
John Powers has a feature on Milan Lucic, looking at "the rapid ascent of a 20-year-old wunderkind." Stephen Harris has a slightly shorter look at Lucic. Mike Loftus says that strong play by David Krejci is a great sign for the Bruins.
Check back at noon for nominees for the worst Boston sports column in recent memory.

Is "Rooting For The Story" The Only Way To Go?
It has been repeated since the days of "No Cheering in the Press Box" – sports reporters are not to stoop to the fans level and actually root for the team that they cover. Instead, they must remain above the fray, objective, rooting for the story.
Michael Silverman repeated this belief in his Herald Sunday baseball notes column:
In discussing how the Red Sox clubhouse is not as interesting without Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez and Manny Ramirez, Sliverman says:
If they are doing their job properly, the press corps always root for the best story, not the particular franchise or players they chronicle.
Do you believe this to be true? Or is a winning team the best story, in which case the causes of the reporter and the fan would be the same and it would be acceptable for the reporters to root for victory for the franchise they cover?
What are your thoughts on Silverman's statement? Is the press only doing its job properly if they are rooting for the best story? Is it entirely inappropriate for a member of the press to also be a fan of the team that he is covering?
Bill Reynolds Takes Us Back To '78
I took the news of Bill Reynolds' new book, '78: The Boston Red Sox, A Historic Game, And A Divided City (New York: New American Library, 2009, 320 pages, $24.95), with a heavy dose of ambivalence. After all, this was one of the most exciting seasons ever played and it's maintained a Greek tragedy hold over Red Sox Nation for 31 years, in much the same way that Rocky's defeat kept us coming back for five sequels. And yet, the juxtaposition of these two particular digits, coupled with the portrait of Boston as a racial bastion during its forced busing era, sent a foreboding chill down my spine.
Sometimes, the past is better left right where it is.
Then to, from 30,000 feet Reynolds' subject matter is seemingly close to other contemporary works. In our busy lives, and with so much content at our disposal, that's a formidable barrier to ever creasing this book's spine. I mean, you've got Richard Bradley recounting the 1978 American League East race, Michael Connelly's analysis of the Boston busing riots' effects on the city and the C's, and Jonathan Mahler's chronicle of the Yankees amid a turbulent Empire the summer before. It's like looking out the cabin window and seeing three other planes in the sky when you never want to see one.
So why would you read this? Simply, those other stories were not told by Bill Reynolds and this one is. Reynolds can describe a Fenway Frank such that that spicy mustard will burn your sinuses as you read it. Nor did the urban unrest of the mid-seventies have the same effect on the Sox as it did on the C's, or as Son of Sam had on the Yankees. For one thing, those other franchises still managed to win championships. Ouch!
Although there are no new facts introduced – not to spoil the ending, but Yaz still pops out to Nettles in this one, too – Reynolds skillfully explores the yin and yang relationship of busing and the Sox on the City of Boston, tracing each back to its sixties roots while grounding everything with new first-hand accounts from folks who lived it. You may already know what happens, but Reynolds now explores the causative factors and puts you in the hot seat as violence and pennant race vie for each day's headlines, whether that seat is on a school bus being pelted with rocks en route to South Boston High, or in the bleachers at Fenway Park as Jerry Remy laces a one-out single to sun-baked right to represent the A.L. East-winning run in the bottom of the ninth.
Reynolds masterfully uses a sequential account of the one-game playoff between the Red Sox and Yankees that would decide the American League East to pace his story's advancement, while otherwise freeing himself for extemporaneous exploration of race, busing, and baseball in Boston . There's an inherent risk of chronologic tedium in any book named after a year, but he sidesteps this by popping up and down a time continuum as his subjects dictate. Readers become modern-day Billy Pilgrims as we visit Carl Yastrzemski in his transforming 1967 campaign, then again in his alienated rookie season of 1961, before swinging back to Fenway Park in time to see him take Ron Guidry deep for a 1-0 lead to start the bottom of the second.
And, like Billy Pilgrim, we've seen our death a thousand times over the last 31 years, yet we're inexplicably compelled toward it with each turn of the page. My hands were sweating as Yaz awaited a 1-0 offering from the struggling Goose Gossage in what would be the final at bat of this remarkable season, as if he somehow was not going to pop the next pitch up to Graig Nettles.
For me, a good book is one that entertains and educates, and '78 does both. Not being a Bostonian, I was ignorant of the forces pitted against each other during this dark time in the Athens of America. Nor did I have an accurate recollection of the waning days of the 1978 season, or of how the one-game playoff unfolded, having tucked the episode away in the bottom drawer of a chest full of ill memories. But Reynolds made me relive it all, and for that I'm grateful.
Aside from an unscheduled tour of the Boston music scene of the sixties and seventies that I feared would cause me to miss the ninth inning, my only issue with this book is one of modest redundancy. Some similes are tested, whether you're a fly ball away from the Boston Common, a jump shot away from the Boston Garden, or a popup away from Kenmore Square. But even in apparent weakness lies strength; his knowledge of the city and its history that is interwoven throughout his story give Reynolds additional tools to plant you in 1970s Boston.
I'm not sure the Nation could have handled Reynolds' account before 2004, but after a couple of World Series titles we now have a safe word to escape the world into which he has so vividly dispatched us. If you can handle a day when winning wasn't the norm, spend next weekend in '78.
Big Baby Uses His Head in Celtics' Victory
After taking an elbow to the head in the third quarter that required 10 stitches, Big Baby Davis returned to the court and helped close out the Oklahoma City Thunder at the Garden last night. Big baby scored 15 points in the final quarter to end the night with 19 points and 10 rebounds (the joke is that with his 10 stitches, he got his first career triple-double last night), while Paul Pierce scored a game high 27.
Frank Dell'Apa has the Celtics, even without Kevin Garnett, proving to be too much for the Thunder. Mark Murphy notes that Eddie House was also a huge contributor in closing out the Thunder last night. Robert Lee has Davis and House giving the Celtics an offensive spark in the fourth quarter for the win. Scott Souza has a new big three leading the charge last night. Bill Doyle has Davis' bump on the head getting him going last night. The Metro has the game at a glance.
Steve Bulpett has Eddie House sparking the Celtics to the victory last night. Gary Dzen has Mikki Moore starting to feel settled, as he chipped in with a double-double (12 pts, 11 rbs) of his own last night. Paul Flannery has Moore and Stephon Marbury settling into their roles with the Celtics. Souza has the Celtics playing some Perked up defense with Garnett out.
Paul Flannery says that the Ray Allen trade also worked out pretty well for the team that is now the Thunder. Tim Weisberg notes that the April schedule will actually benefit the Celtics. Jessica Camerato has the Celtics giving the Thunder a history lesson. Mike Fine has a look at the wounded Celtics, including Brian Scalabrine, who seems to be going a little stir-crazy sitting at home.
Dell'Apa's notebook has Davis getting valuable experience starting during KG's absence. Bulpett's notebook has KG hoping to return for Friday's game against the Hawks. Lee's notebook has Leon Powe and Tony Allen also getting closer to a return. Doyle's notebook has more on a possible KG return on Friday.
The Bruins won their third straight game, this time a 4-3 win over the Flyers in Philly. Fluto Shinzawa has the Bruins hanging on and flying high after the win. Stephen Harris has the Bruins getting things set up nicely for the playoffs with their strong play as of late. Joe Haggerty has the Bruins looking like a playoff team in the win.
Shinzawa's notebook has the Bruins not planning on raiding the Providence roster while the P-Bruins are in the playoffs. Harris' notebook has Milan Lucic throwing his weight around against the Flyers.
Red Sox
Tony Massarotti and John Tomase have a look at Jon Lester working on his changeup, which he hopes to feature more this season after having virtually ignored it the last few years. Maureen Mullen says that this spring has been a great learning experience for Clay Buchholz. Rob Bradford and Michael Felger debate the value of Buchholz.
Daniel Barbarisi has Jeff Bailey and Chris Carter competing for the final spot on the Red Sox roster. Dan Lamothe has more on the two players who are fighting for one spot.
Tomase's notebook has Brad Wilkerson leaving the team after being informed he wouldn't be on the opening day roster. The Globe notebook has Wilkerson weighing his options. Barbarisi's notebook has more on Lester's changeup.
Nancy Marrapese-Burrell and John Connolly have BU scoring with under 15 seconds left in regulation to defeat UNH and go to another Frozen Four. Allen Lessels has UNH coming up short once again. Mike Zhe also reports on the heartbreaking loss for the Wildcats.
Rich Thompson has BU goaltender Kiernan Millan coming of age at the perfect time. Monique Walker has time just running out for UNH yesterday.
Connolly's notebook has Jason Lawrence joining the club of great players to wear #21 for the Terriers. The Globe notebook has more on Millan.
Jerry Spar recaps what has been a fairly slow NCAA basketball tournament. Mark Blaudschun says that the Garden was a feast for the eyes this weekend.
Steve Buckley has Villanova winning over the hearts of Boston fans during the regional finals at the Garden.
Karen Guregian has Jason Taylor not giving any hints as to where he is leaning towards playing next season.
Chris Warner has a Q&A with Morgan State defensive lineman Lonnie Harvey for Patriots Daily.
Mark Farinella has a few ponderous thoughts.

Director and Holliston native Adam Green (Frozen, Hatchet) knows a thing or two about what it's like to be stuck in your hometown post-college, working a dead-end job, and pining for the high school girl of your dreams. Green parlayed all that angst into Holliston, a new television series for FEARnet. Green writes, directs, and stars (as himself) — alongside Joe Lynch (director of Wrong Turn 2) — in this "horror buddy comedy" about two average schmoes living in their eponymous hometown. A first for FEARnet — which, until now, has only played horror films and mini-series — the show also co-stars GWAR's Oderus Urungus as Green's imaginary pal and mentor, and Twisted Sister's Dee Snider as the pair's sexually-ambiguous boss, a washed-up rocker who's convinced his Van Halen tribute band is still going to make it. Sound weird? It totally is. I spoke to Green, who was in town to screen the show, about his departure from the movies, working with GWAR's alien leader, and the weird allure of Market Basket.
HOW HAVE THE PRELIMINARY SCREENINGS GONE SO FAR?Amazing, it's been a sleepless and crazy trip so far, but last night's screening in Holliston was easily the highlight of this whole experience. It was crazy. I didn't know how many people were going to come, or if anyone was even going to care, or if they knew about it and it was standing room only. People sitting on the floor, standing everywhere. It was nuts, and they just loved it. And we got a huge standing ovation at the end, which was amazing and the best homecoming anybody could ever ask for.
HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD YOU SAY SHOWED UP?There had to have been maybe 220 or 225, which is probably half the town. So we only had chairs for 150, and were expecting maybe 50 to 100 people to come, and then they just kept coming and coming. So we opened the balcony, and then people started sitting on the floor and they were standing. It was great.
SO I GUESS YOU'RE SOMETHING OF A HOMETOWN CELEBRITY AT THIS POINT?Um, I guess. But it's like, just from my class alone, we had so many people to go on to do so many great things that people know about it. Like Kara Wolters — who played basketball in the Olympics — was from my class. She was a huge story because she was, like, seven feet tall in the fourth grade and it's just a remarkable story about what she went through, and how awful it was growing up, and what she accomplished. And Mike Grier is a National Hockey League player, I think he's the first American-trained African American hockey player, and he was from my class as well.
MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER.I guess so. More than fluoride!

McCain: Top-secret leaks coming from "highest levels" of White House
posted at 1:21 pm on June 6, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
- Share on Facebook 1
Two top figures in the US Senate — a Republican and a Democrat — have now spoken out publicly in frustration with continued leaks out of the Obama administration of "the most highly classified information." John McCain spoke to CBS News and got a rather skeptical reaction from the host, who quoted the New York Times' David Sanger as saying the leaks didn't start at the White House. McCain insists that the White House confirmed information that exposed ongoing operations — and did so to make Barack Obama look good:
Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) on Wednesday blasted the Obama administration over the disclosure of classified intelligence operations, leaks he said came from the "highest levels" at the White House.
"This is the most highly classified information and it's now been leaked by the administration at the highest levels at the White House and that's not acceptable," McCain said on CBS This Morning. …
McCain suggested that the administration was leaking the information, which he called a "breach of national security" to bolster Obama's foreign policy credentials ahead of November's election.
"It makes the president look very decisive," McCain said, "and it gives very little credit to the other men and women who make these things happen."
"This puts American lives in danger, revealing our most highly classified operations both in cyberwar and in drones," he said.
While CBS News treated McCain's allegations with skepticism, Dianne Feinstein seconded McCain's concerns about the leaks, if not the origins:
The Democratic chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday expressed worry that leaks to press about a cyberattack on Iran authorized by the Obama administration could lead to a counter-attack on the U.S.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) joined other senior Senate Democrats in expressing serious concerns about the leak, which detailed a cyberattack intended to harm Iran's nuclear program. Some Republicans argue the information was leaked to help President Obama's re-election campaign. …
"A number of those leaks, and others in the last months about drone activities and other activities are frankly all against national security interests," said Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.), chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. "I think they're dangerous, damaging, and whoever is doing that is not acting in the interest of the United States of America."
Feinstein and Kerry, however, rejected Sen. John McCain's (R-Ariz.) charge that the leaks were politically motivated to boost President Obama's image.
Well, where would that information have leaked — and more importantly, been confirmed? Even Sanger notes that he got confirmation from "current US officials," and the nature of the story certainly played up Obama's personal role in the decisions, even when he didn't make the decisions himself. The spin in Sanger's story either came from Sanger himself or his sources, and I'd bet that McCain's closer to the mark than Feinstein, Kerry, and CBS News in this case.

So, if it's not for political purpose to help Obama, then they believe there is a traitor in the Obama administration that is purposely trying to damage the interests of the United States of America?

Why can't there just be a little box marked "national security" that we can let John McCain out of when we need him, but otherwise keep him restrained within?
Politics doesn't work that way, sadly.
I do not use this word lightly, and I haven't thrown it around at all during this administration, but if this is true, it is worthy of impeachment.
Shump on June 6, 2012 at 1:30 PM
So they put Private Manning in jail for what exactly?
The White House treats a security clearance as a joke, at the same time they hammer military members who do far, far less.
Not to mention, military members are kicked out for less than the "Choom Gang" celebrated.
Complete lack of leadership.

"current US officials,"
Yeah, probably the same officials who decided to strike out on their own with Fast and Furious. No worries about being prosecuted for revealing state secrets, just 'doing their thing'.

Listen up, you fools. Policy and tactics are always driven by a pols political agenda. They only need to appear to be related to a legitimate government purpose. Now leaking can get you some good press, but it can't be dressed up as serving a legitimate purpose. That is why it is leaked, instead of issued in a press conference, you idiots. What good is it to be in charge of national security if you can't exploit it to get reelected?
Everybody who is anybody knows that. If you don't, you're just one of those silly idealists to be exploited. It's The Chicago Way.

Yesterday at a private briefing a very connected and senior Israeli military intelligence officer struggled to stay within his diplomatic bounds while making clear that any discussion or leaks related to the cyberwar against Iran were reckless and damaging. He also said there will be another round coming, soon, specifically in the WaPo.
Just what has become typical outrageous behavior here. Yes, Brennan is vile – and an idiot – but a good indicator of a larger problem. This "administration" is packed with unfit folks of low character who have no business close to any responsible job, but beyond that there is the collapse in ethics and professionalism in the Beltway generally.
Recall the catastrophic – and criminal – disclosures of two large ongoing surveillance programs in the Bush years? And the non-stop – and jaw-droppingly stupid – "leaks" of "assessments" by intel types that were breathlessly reported on the front pages of the "elite" media publications. The idiotic NIE on Iran's nuke program? This all came from career people. The intellect and character of many senior intelligence careerists are disastrously poor. As on so many things, Bush's deference to these unworthy and dangerous people was a huge blunder.
What we're seeing here is only worse because of the unprecedented low ability and character of political appointees and chief executive. There is a permanent, ongoing problem that will outlive Bambi's brief and disastrous reign.

Nice to see you, IceCold. I can only say, Amen. I've heard foreign frustration through another channel.
I do think most of the public employees you describe will fade into insignificance if the people hand major electoral defeats to overweening leftism.
That was not what happened with Bush 43, and the career political bureaucrats had no reason to accept that the tide they roll along in had been stemmed. I don't think Romney is going to administer such a defeat either. But as long as the truth can still get out and be compelling to people's minds, their defeat is coming.
This has been up for almost two hours and still hasn't reached 50 comments.
What point is there in headlining any stories whose subject is John McCain? Nobody on the left or the right really cares what this tired old Beltway pol has to say about anything.
"Fight. Come fight with me," said the candidate who fecklessly refused to fight at every pathetic turn.

Probe your enemy until he squeals. Hit him the hardest where he squeals the most. Something happened here because the Dem's are attacking the messenger and not the message. In fact the request for investigation into these leaked was brought up on 22 May and nothing is been done except to attack the messenger.
If I were the defense lawyers for Pfc Bradley Manning I would bring up that the laws in this matter are not fairly applied and walk free by noon.

Bill Ayers on his blog September 10, 2008:
"The end of an empire is messy at best….
and this one is ending like all the rest." Randy Newman
That was the day before the 7th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks, and less than 2 months before the election of Barack Hussein Obama to the Presidency.
The same Barack Hussein Obama who said that he shares his life's journey with all who have ever sought to bring an empire to its knees…
Barack Hussein Obama on June 23, 2007:
But my journey is part of a larger journey- one shared by all who've ever sought to apply the values of their faith to our society. It's a journey that takes us back to our nation's founding, when none other than a UCC church inspired the Boston Tea Party and helped bring an Empire to its knees.
Who else wants to bring the U.S. "Empire" to its knees?
The Communist Party USA:
With Marxism-Leninism guiding our actions, the Communist Party strives to build the broadest unity against global capitalist imperialism now headed by U.S. imperialism, for immediate gains and reforms that benefit working people, and for a progressive democratization of the government, the economy, and society of our country on the road to and after winning socialism.

I can't believe McShame didn't even have the integrity to leave the Senate after that blow he dealt against America. Unreal. I wonder if Johnny-boy understands what a despicable place in history he has earned himself? Probably not. He ain't too smart.
As to the America-hater in the White House, he's been rending the Constitution and committing criminal acts since the 2008 campaign (when he held his largest political rally in a friggin foreign nation … for friggin foreigners!) and has continued such since sliming into the White House (thanks in good part to McShame). But … we all just watch him do irreparable damage to this nation (which now has declared that empathy is a legitimate main qualification for a judge or ruling, in direct opposition to the foundation of Western jurisprudence for over three thousand years) and then get to watch these cowards on the Hill make grumbling noises that they refuse to back up with action of any sort.
And this isn't even close to the first time that the White House and DoJ have exposed our secrets and done damage to our national security to move their political objectives (America, Fundamentally Deformed and killed). Not even close.

Well no Shit Mack!!. You let the Enemy walk right on in..
While the news media continue its Egyptian-uprising coverage, most of the denizens of U.S. newsrooms are turning a blind eye to President Barack Obama's connection to a key player in the Egyptian rebellion: the radical Islamic group known as the Muslim Brotherhood which co-sponsored last year's disasterous "Gaza Aid Flotilla."
While the world condemned the actions of the Israeli military, calls for an international body to investigate the Gaza flotilla raid by Israeli forces — in which nine "peace activists" were killed — were clouded by political posturing and vitriolic soundbites, according to some U.S. counterterrorism experts.
Even President Obama proposed an independent inquiry into the incident that triggered worldwide condemnation of Israel especially by members of the elite news media, but his proposal was quickly dropped as information came to light that certain individuals close to him and the Democrat Party were involved in the bloody incident.
Israel maintained a blockade around Gaza for quite sometime with the hope to preventing weapons such as missiles and rockets from being smuggled to the Palestinian terrorists. It was decided by a number of Islamists and radicals to take actions that would ultimately end the blockade.
The organizer of the blockade-busting action was a known radical group called Free Gaza. The "Free Gaza" flotilla was far more than a collection of innocent "peace activists" trying to provide humanitarian aid to Gaza, as they were portrayed by most news organizations.
Free Gaza sponsored the flotilla that engaged in deadly clashes with Israeli special forces troops and among its members were Weather Underground founders William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn — who perpetrated a series of terrorist attacks — as well as Jodie Evans, the leader of the radical activist organization Code Pink. Besides the U.S. radicals, Islamic groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah and Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood contributed to the flotilla.
As is well-known in the United States, Ayers and Dohrn were close associates of President Obama for years in Chicago. Meanwhile, Jodie Evans was a fundraiser and financial bundler for Obama's presidential campaign. In fact, one of Obama's fundraisers was held in the home of Ayers and Dohrn.
Evans later worked on Attorney General Jerry Brown's successful run for the governorship of California.
"Ayers' and Dohrn's continued activities appear to elude the attention of the people responsible for reporting the news without bias. They are terrorists, plain and simple, so why would anyone be surprised to discover their connection to an anti-Semitic organization that supports terror groups such as Hamas, Hezbollah, the Muslim Brother and even al-Qaeda?" asks former New York Police detective Michael Snopes.
The passengers reportedly included 100-plus members of various Muslim Brotherhood chapters, at least 20 of whom taped al Qaeda-style "martyr" videos before embarking on their anti-Israel mission, according to terrorist expert Steve Emerson, founder of The Investigative Project on Terrorism
According to Emerson's IPT investigation, the chief organizers had more than "peaceful" intentions for the flotilla.
The respected Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) reported that a Gaza-based Hamas leader declared three days before the voyage started that the captain of the [Gaza Flotilla] ship had told him: "We will not allow the Zionists to come near us, and we will wage resistance against them."
Meanwhile, Congressman Trent Franks (R-AZ) responded to ongoing criticism of Israel following the incident near Gaza where Israeli Defense Forces personnel engaged the flotilla of six ships attempting to overrun an Israeli naval blockade.
Rep. Franks cited reports indicating that individuals on board the ships were carrying weapons and attacked Israeli soldiers as they were trying to stop the advance of the flotilla. The blockade exists to keep the terrorist organization Hamas, which has routinely launched attacks against innocent Israeli citizens, from supplying its forces with weapons and other materials while allowing necessary humanitarian supplies to reach those living in Gaza, Franks stated.
"The conflict that took place aboard the Turkish flotilla was a completely unnecessary and deliberate attempt to provoke Israel to action. The Gaza blockade was put into place in an attempt to prevent Hamas from continuing to use the Gaza strip as a launching pad for literally thousands and thousands of rockets fired into innocent Israeli citizen populations. Humanitarian shipments into Gaza are routinely used to smuggle weapons and other dangerous materials into Gaza for Hamas," said Congressman Franks.
"The United States must maintain a strong position of support for Israel as the U.N. once again tries to make them a punching bag for the rest of the world. The Obama Administration must also commit to vetoing any resolution from U.N. Organizations like the Security Council or the Human Rights Council that would condemn Israel and encourage the terrorist groups who provoked the raid," said the Arizona lawmaker.
Obama supporters in the midst of discussion regarding the current Egyptian civil unrest are claiming that
the Muslim Brotherhood is not a terrorist organization and that its members are not major players in the Egyptian protests and uprising. They also claim there are no connections between the Obama administration and radical Islamists such as the Muslim Brotherhood, in spite of the activities of Ayers, Dohrn and Evans, who are known associates of the U.S. President.
"If the House Republicans, who are now the majority, wish to investigate the current administration and its abysmal performance on national security incidents, they should start with the President's relationship with far-left radicals and Islamic fascists,"
Radical Muslims are looking for ways to bring sharia law to the United States. Hear this report about the organizations CAIR , the Muslim Brotherhood and a new book "Stealth Jihad" by Islam expert Robert Spencer.

ex-CIA Agent Reveals: "Muslim Brotherhood" has infiltrated Obama Administration
Islamist-allied operatives appointed by Obama are undermining U.S. security policy – explains counter-Intelligence expert, Prof. Clare Lopez. Aimed at co-opting Americas foreign policy in the Middle East, a network including well-known American diplomats, congressional representatives, figures from academia and the think tank world – with ties to the clerical regime in Tehran – is directing the Obama Administration's policy towards the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Middle East.
Obama, Clinton, Piven, Ayers, Dohrn and Soros behind Middle East Meltdown
Aside from the systemic government waste of private resources the world over, why is the entire free world in economic collapse while the entire Middle East is in total meltdown, promising to place the most dangerous region of the globe under radical Islamic rule?
And with every western nation on economic suicide watch, is it a coincidence that the Middle East is imploding at just the moment in history when it could force every free nation to live under the boot of international Marxists?
Such massive seismic shifts in world power structure are never a coincidence. If you keep digging, sooner or later, you will find those responsible. In this case, it is Barack Obama – Bill and Hillary Clinton – their old friends Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn and their friendly economic wrecking ball, George Soros.
The Beginning
President Bill Clinton welcomed PLO terrorist Yasser Arafat to the White House and began an assault on U.S. ally Israel as a known Palestinian terrorist leader partied with Bill and Hillary Clinton. The events that followed would include renewed terror strikes on Israeli soil and the Clinton form of democracy rising up in the Palestinian territories.
The Palestinian people democratically elected world-renowned terror organization Hamas to lead their new government and the peace process was forever ended.
The Bush era War on Terror put every terror organization on earth on the run, in response to the 9/11 attacks on the U.S. Terror organizations fled from country to country, jumping in and out of confrontations with U.S. led forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. This operation made it very difficult for terror organizations to settle in one spot and regain a foothold almost anywhere on earth.
But when Barack Obama took office in January 2009, calling a worldwide end to Bush's "War on Terror," these regimes were able to quickly reconstitute and set up operations throughout the Middle East.
Since then, Tunisia has collapsed and is soon to be controlled by terror organization Al Qaeda and the Tunisian Islamist Party, led by founder Rachid Ghannouchi, the so-called democrat of Islam. Those who know the Quran know that there is nothing democratic about Islam, just like there is nothing democratic about socialism.
Lebanon has fallen to Islamic terror organization Hezbollah. Yemen, site of the Al Qaeda attack on the USS Cole on Bill Clinton's watch, in which 17 American soldiers were killed, is today an operational center for Al Qaeda, among other terror groups and Marxist regimes.
As Human Events chronicles, "There is a rebellion in the north with Iran-sponsored Shia radicals, and a Marxist succession movement in the south. Part of the country is also controlled by an al Qaeda affiliate in the southwestern corner of the Arabian Peninsula. Yemen is strategically important to the U.S. as an ally because al Qaeda has made it a base of operations."
Like the Palestinian territory, Tunisia, Yemen and Lebanon, Egypt is under assault and about to collapse into the arms of yet another Islamic terror group, the Muslim Brotherhood. This is community organizing at its best, folks…
Jordan and other Arab nations in the region are rushing to replace their own regimes before Islamic terror groups ignite a protest for so-called democracy against their governments. They all see the writing on the wall, as President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton cut pro-west dictators loose across the Middle East, and allow terror organizations to claim control of their governments.
Some claim that this is out of gross ignorance and inept policies in the Obama administration, asserting that Obama and Clinton are simply "totally clueless" in managing foreign policy and international affairs. I too, believe that both Obama and Clinton are in way over their heads, as should be expected from politicians with otherwise blank resumes void of achievement, particularly from the teleprompter-in-chief.
But what about the people who pull their puppet strings? Do they know what they are doing?
The Common Thread
Not so fast… there is a common thread running through all of these unlikely events. The following people have been traveling in and out of these countries, busily "community organizing" for years, but in particular, the weeks preceding the protests and sudden collapse of these governments.
■The Clintons
■Barack Obama
■William Ayers
■Bernadine Dohrn
■Frances Fox Piven
■George Soros & Co.
■Code Pink
In other words, behind the fall of pro-west Arab governments is alleged democracy protests, led by college aged kids, just like most progressive protests in the US and Europe. Behind those protesters in the Middle East stands an Islamic terror organization ready to seize political power… and behind those terror organizations, we find the individuals named above, all of whom were behind the election of Barack Hussein Obama in the United States.
International Marxists behind the Obama regime are also behind the Middle East meltdown. Clinton and Obama claim that these protests are nothing more than democracy seeking youths tired of economic strife and ready for "change."
If this is true, then why is every nation being taken over by radical Islamic terror regimes, which have more than a thousand years of tyrannical history of being the most brutally undemocratic leaders on earth?
And if this is an organic uprising within the populations of these countries, why are these uprisings led by the same domestic Marxists leading the socialist revolution in America?
Last and Most Importantly
What is the purpose of this clear strategy to destroy and depose pro-western Arab regimes, led by American democratic socialists?
With nearly 15% of U.S. oil imports coming from the Arab counties, and Obama-Clinton throwing every pro-west Arab government under the bus and putting Islamic terror regimes in charge of the oil from that region, what should we expect next?
Clearly, the events unfolding in the Middle East were planned and ignited by pro-Obama forces here in the U.S. and abroad. It is not organic, and the only manner in which it relates to democracy is as Karl Marx said – Democracy is the road to socialism!
Never let a good crisis go to waste, especially when you work so hard to create the crisis. This is the ideology of Obama, Clinton, Piven, Ayers, Dohrn, Soros and all of their fans.
What happens when the U.S. is cut off from Arab oil?
Can the shaky U.S. economy take another major blow like sky rocketing gas prices?
And why did Obama agree to sell British weapons secrets to Russia in return for a new Start Treaty that is not in the best interest of the U.S.?
Why is Obama-Clinton alienating every American ally in the world?
And when will the American people have seen enough?
We are sorry about Obama World.
Friends of America,
Our President has become entirely unhinged and he is currently completely out of control. He has personally fanned the very flames which will eventually ignite the entire world in a raging inferno of Jihad. His rhetoric concerning Islam, Egypt and the greater Middle East is a violation of all rational thought and crime against intellectual honestly.
Obama's betrayal of the British people and associated "deal" to disclose information relating to the UK's nuclear deterrent is abhorrent and violates everything the United States of America believes in. His complete desertion of Israel and reckless disregard for the safety of the Israeli population is a dishonor that will eternally rank as of one the most egregious in American history.
He began his blatant disregard for the wishes and values of America immediately upon his election and unfortunately his belligerency has only worsened since that time. He is a total failure and wholly incompetent. We can only apologize and assure you he is not acting with the support of right thinking Americans.
Clearly, it's against logic, reason and better judgement to continue listening to anything he says.Common sense dictates that following him into anything is inarguably a fools errand. His assinine policies and juvenile outlook on the world are clear and present dangers to freedom and stability across the entire globe. He has done enough damage to us all.
Please stop listening to him and demand that he resigns before the entire world is in chaos and there is nothing left worth saving.
-REAL America
Ya know how it was noted during the election that Obama wouldn't be able to get security clearance for classified information? Think that has any bearing on the current situation?
Isn't this a good enough reason to throw the bastard out in November, as if the economy, jobs and energy weren't enough?

McCain's right about this one.
J.E. Dyer on June 6, 2012 at 2:48 PM
McCain's right almost all of the time.
But the knee-jerk fools in the HotAir comment section venting above wouldn't know an ally from an alley-oop.
itsnotaboutme on June 6, 2012 at 10:06 PM
Whuh oh. McCain coming dangerously close to criticizing the president, something he avoided doing back when, y'know, he ran for the job.
Kudos for speaking out but he had his chance to do something to stifle Democrats giving away the store to tyrannies, which didn't start with Obama. It's a tradition since FDR. Iran nukes, ChiCom aggressive Pacific expansionism and weapons refinement (thanks to the ClinGore-Buddhist monk connection), Putinism, Argentina, operational data to Hollywood directors, the surrendering of the next key strategic theater, Earth orbit, to the Rooskis and, oh yes, China, etc etc., can all be cross-filed in a folder labeled with two words, "suspended campaign".
Actually, can't say the Obama 2008 margin of victory wouldn't have been bigger if McCain hadn't suspended his Dole-like campaign. Whatevs. We're looking at the here and now and, food for thought to you Romney-resisters, I was one of your number during the primaries (though, registered unaffiliated). If the Obamians get another four years who can doubt that there will be Chinese drones over Oahu. Four years is a lot of secrets. This is no drill.

Early on, it was clear that John Kerry of Massachusetts had the qualites and the desire to do great things with his life.
As a student leader at Yale in the early 1960s, Kerry could feel the promise of the decade, personified by the inspiration of the young president, John F. Kennedy.
Third world countries were escaping the bonds of colonialism, yet the Cold War was raging. Kennedy's assassination was the first blow to idealistic hopes in that decade.

quiltmau, holding you in the pocket of my heart...
I really appreciate hearing from the long time survivors. Is there ever a point when you stop thinking every itch and bump is cancer?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
quiltmau, holding you in the pocket of my heart...
I really appreciate hearing from the long time survivors. Is there ever a point when you stop thinking every itch and bump is cancer?
I had my test last month and my results came back with no problem. However, I feel there is something wrong, maybe just my fear, but wondering if I can get a retake. I don't think insurance would go for that, but I might try.
Congrats! So glad.
3incollege, was it a regular mamo or the new digital? If it is there the new digatal are really good at finding it. If they see a little something on a regular mamo they call you back for an ultrasound. After the ultrasound they sometimes do a needle aspiration if they think it's a cyst. Mine was and it was a huge relief. If you are really worried maybe you can schedule an ultrasound on the suspect spot?
Like Tartan said the new digital ones are so accurate. They found the tumor in my Left/Louise with not problem, but the Right/Thema was just some very tiny early calicifications that could possibly developed into cancer later down the road. The tech couldn't find it at first, but the radiologist had highlighted a spot for her on the prior mamo to zone in on and there it was. I had a double. Figured if there were already precancers stuff going on, I was only going through that surgery once.
Please know that not every lump is cancer. My Mom has what we call "Lumpy Boobs" She has never had a cancerous lump, has had over 20 large lumps removed over the years, now just has them aspirated. Her's are fibroyed (sp?) tumors. I've had a couple other lumps that were "fatty tumors", not cancerous.
The ladies here that have had or currently do have cancer will tell you there are more than just one type. 3 ladies at work, all 3 of us have had a different type. My Aunt had one type of cancer, I have another. Her's could be hereditary, mine is gene related but not hereditary. You can get cancer at any age. I lost a 16 year old student to Breast Cancer. And guys get it too. Knowledge is power, even in cancer.
As you can see by the ladies here, Breast Cancer is not a death sentence. They are finding new treatments all the time. I honestly believe that ATTITUDE is 99.9% of winning the battle. If you think it's going to kill you, go ahead and get your casket picked out because it will. But, if you have the Belief that you are going to beat this, you can. Even a Stage 4 like me can make it!! I tell people all the time, if the Grim Reaper wants me anytime soon, he better send a bus to run me over because cancer isn't going to get me.
Keep fighting Girls!!
Congrats to all the survivors!!
Congrats, had to go today for more iews and a sono, third time i had to do this. Everything is o.k.
Everyone, get xked it doesnt hurt

Tank Destroyers
Edit Page Last Edit:
Tank Destroyers are a new set of vehicles found in the Armored Kill Expansion Pack. They are basically Light Tanks. Their default cannon doesn't do as much damage as MBTs, and their armor doesn't protect them against MBT cannons as well as MBT armor. So far, there are only two Tank Destroyers in the game, one for each faction.

just got home....and I'm hating that I'm missing worlds, but thank you all for your pbps and commentary.
just got home....and I'm hating that I'm missing worlds, but thank you all for your pbps and commentary.
YOu know what my fear is: that next year, when they're more likely to win bronze due to favoritism or whatever, W/P have a dance that I enjoy less than "Je Suis Malade." I'll be fine with them missing the podium here if they deserve to make it next year (and if their polka and FD match what they've done this year). Otherwise I'll feel a little let down.
P and B have been and remain my favorites in the short dance round. The program is tourists in Brazil who go from drinking cocktails to getting drawn into carnival, yeah? This is relatable and gets around being not having the most obvious proclivities in Latin dance. A+
The three Russian ladies' costumes would be very appropriate for a coven gathering.
BTW, I despise "Je Suis Malade". That song literally makes me ill.
P/B was overmarked. W/P should have been 3rd. P/B was slow on the twizzle, and out of synch, the unison was way off. Yup, home ice advantage for sure.
Which is why just thinking about 2013 terrifies meYup, home ice advantage for sure.
Judges don't have slow-mo, as I understand it, just the tech panel.
On second look on my PVR on a tv instead of a corner of my computer screen:
Shibs: this made me smile. They are sweet wonderful kids who are anything but rhumba. They are technically sound, but not even close on the second mark. This is the right position. I expect they will do better with polka next year.
C/L: such tidy feet and beautiful Latin flavour. I think they should have been 5th. I think I figured out what is missing... She needs to open up and relax her shoulders and chest. You can see the difference in how he moves vs she. Below the waist is awesome. Above the waist needs some more off-ice dance. But big improvements this year.
I/K: they are growing on me, but I felt they were over-scored. They just had too many little errors for my liking to be in 5th. He has improved a great deal this year. She is really hot. And can they please find some original music? Until they can skate like Scott and Tessa, they should avoid drawing comparisons for their own good.
W/P: still awesome the second time today. They rightfully belong in 3rd. Just amazing energy and flavour.
P/B: huge props for skating on a broken nose. But let's be real here...this was hometown cooking. I've been watching these 2 for a few years, and find them inventive and interesting. But this did not have the sensual sultryness of rhumba. It was fun without the Latin sexual tension (see C/L, I/K, W/P and V/M). It lacked the energy and tight quality of W/P. Badly overscored.
D/W: um...not their best skate. They looked tight and nervous. And Latin isn't their thing. They looked frantic, and their rhumbas were off. On second look, I think they do deserve 2nd, although I do think they were overscored. Their twizzles were really fast and very in sync, as was their step sequence. But W/P are awfully close.
V/M: in a league of their own. Complexity, ease, hotness, exceptional quality elements, real Latin flavour. It was fantastic for both of them, and they deserve their position. It could have been even higher. It says a lot when high level skaters and coaches have nothing but good things to say about their skating.
I don't agree about IK's misic choice, I think their HIP HIP was better than VM's. But I have to admit that during the second part part of the program they were concentrated. Zhulin said that VM were better than any pair, PB should be close to DW (that's what happened), he found errors in DW's skating. IMO there's a huge difference in VM' and DW's performances. There's some attitude, chemistry in VM, DW are just good skaters, I like their FD, though. It suits them.
From the National Post
I wouldnt say the word was frustration, but with the levels and stuff, we really dont understand why we didnt get the levels, said Moir, why were not getting the Choctaws . . . we work every day on that in practice, we must be missing something, but its a really finicky thing.
But thats dance. You gotta come here and skate, thats the best thing about the new system, you cant just show up and kind of muck through the steps any more.
We werent terribly pleased with our marks, but its our job to focus on what were in control of, so were moving on to tomorrow, said Davis.
We felt a little bit more confident than the marks that we got, said White, a blond-maned head-tosser nearly in the class of 2002 French Olympic champion Gwendal Peizerat, whos been around this week.
We really felt we were hitting those Choctaws of course well definitely want to find out but its not going to help us now. Moving forward, we just want to bring that energy level we had in the short dance to the free dance, and just sell it.
Is it true that CL are joining the Shp/Zue group?

Hi guys,
I've been learning a bit about beekeeping here and am enthusiastic to get started doing it. However, I'm also interested in importing some medicinal and therapeutic honeys from other countries that aren't produced here.
So I have a few questions if you might indulge me:
1. I was wondering what I might need to do to sell it here in terms of importation taxes and tariffs, I saw it was about 6% tax?
2. I was thinking about buying it by the drum and then putting it into 1/2 lb or 1lb jars to sell, where might I find jars like that?
3. I also need to get labels put on it. Anyone have any idea on where I can get labels made? What information does it have to include?
4. I was also curious about wholesale prices. How much below retail prices do you suggest selling them to stores at?
Thanks again for your time.
