Wauwatosa-based Architect John Peine has left his mark on dozens of structures in the Greater Milwaukee area. From the Stateview Condominiums in Wauwatosa to the Lego play area at the Summerfest grounds, he has designed it all.
On top of his success in the business world, he has found that spreading his knowledge to children by helping them become architects and engineers using Legos and K'Nex is equally rewarding.
John and his wife, Sylvia Peine, hold sessions during school high interest days, family events and at libraries throughout the metro area. The goal is to show children how to put their creative and problem-solving skills to use by building 20-foot-long stay cable bridges using K'Nex or giant cities complete with airports, train tracks, waste facilities, funeral homes and bus stops using Legos.
"It's hard to get into the child's world, and we do that," John said. "The results are amazing."
Found passion early
John knew in seventh grade he wanted to be an architect.
Growing up in Davenport, Iowa, he remembers seeing the construction on an office building and knowing that's what he wanted to do.
"I just thought that was the coolest thing in the world," he said.
His parents gave him a book on Frank Lloyd Wright and the rest was history. John received his master's degree from Notre Dame before working on projects in Saudi Arabia, Paris and Athens. After three years abroad, John and Sylvia moved back to the Midwest where John worked at General Electric MedFacs as an architect.
In the mid-1980s, the family decided to move to Wauwatosa, where John began his own architecture practice, Peine Design.
His work with Legos began through the Wisconsin chapter of the American Institute of Architects. John volunteered to assist with running a Lego area for children at Summerfest, which he ended up chairing for about five years. This led him to designing the AIAW Summerfest Lego play area.
"We had the Lego play area and that led to a lot of things," John said. "People would always come ask me to bring the Legos to their school for things like high interest days."
That's exactly what John and Sylvia decided to do.
Using their experience
Sylvia also had plenty of experience to bring to the table, as she worked for Lego for nine years, training educators around Wisconsin on how to use Legos in the classroom.
After expanding their personal collection of K'Nex and Legos, they have been holding their own architecture classes using the toys ever since.
"It's really good for problem-solving, it's also good for sequencing, following directions and modular designs, which is how buildings and everything are made these days," Sylvia said.
The classes are held yearround. John and Sylvia teach all aspects of Legos and K'Nex, including how they are made and parts of the toys' history.
"They are hanging on every word because you're talking to them in their world, and they just love it," John said.
On top of the classes for children, John continues his own practice, as well as teaches classes at Milwaukee Area Technical College on sketching and architecture. In addition, he has worked as an instructor at the Milwaukee Art Museum, Mount Mary College and the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design.
John was asked to participate in the grand opening of the Quadracci Pavilion, an addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, in 2001. John built a large Lego replica of the pavilion complete with wings that open and close using a Lego pneumatic pump system.

My wife and I ate at Culver's the other afternoon. For those who are unfamiliar, it's a fast-food place that has more options and better food than typical fast-food joints. Anyway, just before we left this guy came into the place and got in line to order something to go. He ended up leaving about the same time we did. I'm going to describe him and I'm seeking opinions on whether you think he is a sheriff or not. This is not a trick question, and I don't know the answer. I'll probably never see him again, so I'll probably never know. Here's my description of him:
About 6' 3", perhaps 220 lbs. with a 30-lb gut.
Dressed in a sloppy black t-shirt with the word "SHERIFF" in grey 8" letters across the back.
T-shirt was tucked into a pair of old jeans.
Had an auto on his right hip at 3:00. Couldn't get a good look at it, but it may have been a Glock.
Brown boots, not pointy cowboy boots, but the ones with round-point toes which pull on.
In his back left pocket he had a pair of handcuffs. No case. Just the cuffs. I should say he had one cuff in the back pocket because the other was dangling outside his pocket, slapping him in the rear with every step he took.
He was 40-45, medium-length hair that looked as if it hadn't been cut in a while.
Something about his mannerisms didn't seem right. He was sauntering around and may have been trying to draw attention to himself.
When he left, he got into a brown, older model Chevy van with regular plates.
I'm not trying to be critical of this guy in my description. He was sloppy looking, and the handcuffs hanging out of his back pocket looked very unprofessional to me. I've never seen a sheriff look so unprofessional.
My wife doesn't think he was a sheriff and was very uncomfortable around this guy (we passed by the line and counter on the way out, and he left about the same time we did). At the time, I thought he might be an off-duty sheriff, but as I was remembering the incident later, I realized I had tunnel-vision on this guy. Something just didn't seem right. The sloppy handcuffs bothered me, as well as his mannerism. I wondered if he was a cop wannabe.
As a side note, it give me an opportunity to talk to my wife about the advantages of concealed carry, how I knew he was armed, but he had no idea I was armed. She wouldn't admit it, but I think she was glad I was armed.
I'm not trying to be critical of sheriffs, or undercover LEO's who dress sloppy to look the part. I don't think this guy can be considered undercover since he was wearing a SHERIFF t-shirt.
What do you think? Does this guy's dress match the dress of any sheriffs you know? Have you ever seen anyone carry handcuffs in this manner? I could have misinterpreted his mannerisms, and they are also hard to convey in print. So based on his dress alone, what do you think?

Clement Attlee – the man who created the welfare state and decolonised vast swathes of the British Empire – has been acclaimed by many as Britains' greatest twentieth-century Prime Minister.

Matthew Fouts has been an entrepreneur for years. That is
impressive considering that he's only 23 years old.
The Terre Haute native and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology
graduate has already started two business enterprises:
Rose-Learning, an one-on-one tutoring service, and Fouts
Ventures(www.foutsventures.com), a
website and software development. That came while he was
completing an engineering physics degree.
Now Fouts, along with partners Matt McGhehey, Tabitha Russell
and Rose Haft, have launched the online learning management system
Prof-desk and have taken their entrepreneurial dreams to California
in hopes of tapping into financial resources and valuable business
Prof-desk (www.prof-desk.com) provides
students with over 400 educational resources, including online
educational games, access to grades and assignments, and a homework
forum. The software also allows student-users to seek help
from teachers and classmates, and collaborate with students at
other schools. Teachers can post assignments, track student
progress and interact with parents as well as students.
"It's a course-management software," explains Fouts, Prof-desk's
chief executive officer. "It's based online and students can
see their grades in real-time."
Online learning management systems, such as Blackboard, already
exist. However, Prof-desk differs from such options in
several key areas. The most obvious difference is cost.
"Ours is free to use for all schools," Fouts says. He says
that the system, developed with funding from Fouts Ventures(www.foutsventures.com),
will use advertising to generate revenue rather than charging users
for services.
"It's our mantra to innovate a free online learning resource for
every student, and, as a result we'll help struggling school
districts whose technology and education budgets continually get
cut," Fouts stated in a recent press release.
Prof-desk also incorporates a social media that's lacking in
other learning management systems.
"(Prof-desk) has been called Blackboard meets Facebook,"
McGhehey explains. "The ability for schools to interact
seamlessly and instantly through the internet is a big step forward
for the students and the school administrations. Students,
teachers and parents will be able to interact in ways they haven't
before, which is beneficial to all of them."
Fouts adds, "Our real-time chat is advanced because it features
screen sharing as well as file-sharing capabilities."
The website features group interaction as well as a
newsfeed-type feature where users can interact individually.
"Prof-desk offers a way to make learning fun for the teachers as
well as the students," Russell notes. The Terre Haute native
and Indiana State University graduate student joined the Prof-desk
team as vice president of marketing because she thinks it is a tool
whose time has come. "I believe in it and I really do think
it's a great idea considering how technology is advancing today,"
she says.
Fouts states, "The reason I like Prof-desk for struggling
students is that it's a good way for teachers and students to keep
track of the grades," allowing fewer students to fall through the
Another advantage, McGhehey notes, is that the system offers a
place for kids to gain experience working with online software.
"We had to ensure that students or outsiders do not have access
to teachers' gradebooks, while maintaining that students could
access their grades," Fouts explains. "We also had to look at
the security of information being sent from our servers and the web
browser to an individual computer, so someone doesn't hijack
McGhehey, the company's chief financial officer and a senior
chemical engineering major, states, "We spent a lot of long nights
on the security system to make sure the system was completely
Fouts, McGhehey and Russell have relocated to the Los Angeles
area, where they will be opening a retail shop for Fouts
and continuing to do website and software development for
individuals and companies all over the U.S. Haft, a 2008
physics graduate, is assisting the team as chief technology
officer. They plan to grow the business in order to generate
necessary funds to get Prof-desk off the ground, and into the
"Hopefully this time next year we'll have Prof-desk officially
in schools," Fouts says.
Although the young entrepreneurs are heading west to follow
their dream, they say that in the long term, they plan to return to
Indiana and that Prof-desk's corporate headquarters will remain in
Terre Haute. Russell says it's very important to her that the
company's success benefits local students as well as the local
economy. "Remember your roots and where you came from," she

Arkham Asylum was an instant classic and easily one of the best games to come out over the past five years (and quite possibly the best comic book based game ever). It was no surprise a sequel was on the way and this trailer is anything but a disappointment. The boys said this would be the last one they lend their voices to but lets just hope they were being modest because this is a series that should not stop anytime soon.
GAME TRAILER: Batman Arkham City
Arkham Asylum was an instant classic and easily one of the best games to come out over the past five years (and quite possibly the best comic book based game ever). It was no surprise a sequel was on the way and this trailer is anything but a disappointment. The boys said this would be the last one they lend their voices to but lets just hope they were being modest because this is a series that should not stop anytime soon.
TRAILER: Transformers: The Dark Side of the Moon
After the colossal disappointment that was TRANSFORMERS 2, I'm sincerely hoping that Michael Bay has brought his A game this time around. I dig the concept of the moon expedition but realistically we're not exactly being shown much here. Here's hoping for some redemption though.
TRAILER: I Am Number Four
I'm a big fan of Sci-Fi action and this is just the sort of fresh idea that puts a grin on my face. I'm all for the concept, the coolass bad guys and I really enjoyed DISTURBIA so the director's got my vote as well. And even though Timothy Olyphant isn't in the lead here, it's good to see him as well.
REVIEW: Faster
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is an ex-con known only as Driver who just spent a dime up in chino after being double crossed with regards to a bank job he got involved in with his brother. Those responsible killed his brother and left him for dead but if wearing a tutu can't kill The Rock, nothing can. Driven by revenge, The Rock's out to kill each and every name on his list but to do so he'll have to dodge the cops as well as a cocky hitman who's been hired to take him out.
I grew up a big fan of wrestling and over the years I've kept tabs on the WWE, watching a pay per view here and there and sometimes tuning in for Monday Night Raw. Over the past decade however, the WWE has become a lot like Saturday Night Live, with those few overly talented wrestlers branching off into films. Of the lot, The Rock seemed most promising. THE RUNDOWN was a fantastic vehicle to start the ball rolling but despite this strong start, the wheels came to a screeching halt fairly quick. I dug his character in BE COOL but the film itself stunk to high heavens. I'm sure I don't need to recount the list of disappoints that followed but needless to say I was stoked to hear The Rock was finally returning to action. Now the man may not have had a hell of a lot of dialogue, but The Rock sure did have a lot to say and I was all ears.
I love a healthy dose of payback and brother that's exactly what The Rock is cooking here. His persona is everything you want in a badass anti-hero and I haven't been this pumped to see some retribution since Mel Gibson's PAYBACK. The fools on his list didn't stand a chance but I will say that for a dude that's anything but inconspicuous, from the build, to the scowl and car, the cops sure didn't seem very on the ball when it came to rounding him up. His face is splashed all over the news, yet he's still all over the place kicking ass, taking names and blowing big holes in people. I'm not complaining but it sure doesn't say much for the law's ability to serve and protect.
A definite edge to the story comes from our egocentric hitman (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) who's hunger to conquer the world is as big as The Rock's biceps. Now I happen to know a thing or two about that world and believe it or not, this film's depiction of the life isn't as far-fetched as you might think. Most of these killers are vain to the bone, competitive down to the last letter and lethal as they are egotistical. Some people may scoff at this character but I enjoyed him. Carla Gugino plays a cop, yet again but still looks hot as ever as does LOST's Maggie Grace. We also get a couple of entertaining but rather pointless cameos from Mike Epps and Jennifer Carpenter but the biggest waste of talent came from Moon Bloodgood. I was hoping she'd get better breaks after TERMINATOR: SALVATION but I guess not.
FASTER reintroduces The Rock to the world of action the best way it can and hopefully sets a trend for his future roles. We need more action stars and there's no question The Rock can fill the quota. The only problem I had with this flick is Billy Bob Thornton. After that ridiculousness in Toronto awhile back while trying to promote his crappy band and in the process spitting on his acting career, I feel the guy's got no business in Hollywood anymore (truth be told, I never liked him as an actor anyway). Thornton aside, this was a blast and I'm happy to see The Rock in good form (literally, the man's a beast). Here's hoping this endeavour blows a big hole in everyone's doubts and puts The Rock back on top where he belongs.

Germany's Federal Office for Security in Information Technology (BSI) has developed a free, open-source based tool that allows public and private sector organizations and companies to test the security of their networked systems, the agency announced Friday.
The tool, BSI Open Source Security Suite (Boss), is based on a remote security scanner system developed by the Nessus Open Source Vulnerability Scanner Project. Nessus software includes more than 7,000 plug-ins to test the security of all relevant networking products, according to BSI. The software's user interface has been modified to make the application easier to use, the agency said.

I'm going back to Scotland in April! How exciting is that? Well, I guess it's only exciting for me. But you know you're in a horrible winter funk when you are daydreaming of Scottish weather in this disgusting tundra that is Louisville. Scottish friends, stop hating your climate and start appreciating the mist and the mild temperatures. Louisvillians, let's start talking about moving somewhere else.
And yes ... the wee boy is coming with me to see his homeland.
In honor of this, I'm just going to post some disgustingly beautiful photographs of Scotland.
P.S. If Aneil in Wolverhampton is out there reading,
let me know if there's a place to play near you. This is a pleasure
trip, not business, and I'm only playing a couple of shows -- the Leith
Folk Club on April 8 being the big one. I don't want you taking a taxi
several hundred miles!

Travel plans to appease my wanderlust and some pretty pictures.
I'm a Kentucky singer-songwriter, mom to a 3-year-old and a baby, car-free, vegetarian-type who likes traveling, interesting facts, castles, novels, funny people, swimming, home-birth, science, eating and writing. I haven't slept through the night in, like, 4 years, so I'm kinda wacky these days. I write about traveling with kiddos, baking, and how to balance self-employment and artistry with parenting.

Chinese Tallow - 1 of 3
Chinese Tallow FAQs - 3 Found
How do Chinese tallow's characteristics make it such an aggressive invader?
Chinese tallow has the ability to reach reproductive age in as little as 3 years and to remain productive for at least 60 years. It does not seem to have a preference for disturbed areas over undisturbed areas and can grow in a variety of places. It can also grow in both full sunlight and shade. It is more tolerant of salinity and flooding than quite a few other native species. It grows in subtropical to warm climates but is hardy and able to withstand a few degrees of frost. It is able to thrive in the United States and is resistant to native insects. In addition, it is somewhat resistant to fire.

I wonder how he did that... the paint I can understand but wouldn't he have to retrofit the xenons, and not do it on the assy. line? I noticed the pasted on reflector so it's legal, so that must have been factory approved in some way and not an aftermarket install, unless he just wanted to be safe.

Marco's, Root Down win Mayor's Design Awards
John Hickenlooper will announce the Mayor's Design Awards tonight, but we can tell you that two of the fifteen honorees are restaurants: Root Down and Marco's Coal-Fired Pizzeria.
Both restaurants opened last year, in old spaces made remarkably new. In Root Down's case, a vintage service station was turned into the town's coolest bar space, as well as a private dining room -- and also provided the sleek inspiration for the brand-new building put on the corner of 1600 West 33rd Avenue. Root Down has gorgeous views of downtown Denver, but it's already a landmark in its own right.
For Marco's Coal-Fired Pizzeria, a Victorian storefront at 2129 Larimer Street was transformed into a hip urban hangout, with huge pizza ovens as a focal point, a back deck that's clubhouse-cozy, and a front bar that invites everyone inside.
The awards presentation is at 6 p.m. tonight at the L2 Arts & Culture Center at 1477 Columbine Street, with a reception at 7. Admission is free, but you can RVSP here.

There are several websites that lists organizations - here are some: http://www.goldstockfund.org/TGF/Other_Fin_Aid.htm http://awnlc.net/FinancialHelp.htm http://www.felinediabetes.com/vetbills.htm IMOM is an excellent organization and the pet loss website . IMOM has volunteers that will work with a pet owner in need of finacial assistance for veterinary expenses - they will help the human with fundraisers, etc. Also, pet owners should check in their city, county and state for different organizations that might help and also, breed specific groups that might offer financial assistance or some other type of help during medical emergencies. It's always a good idea to talk with your vet and find out if they will work out a payment plan for you in case your companion animal has a medical emergency. A lot of vets will work with you and knowing this ahead of time will bring some peace of mind in times of a medical crisis.

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) reveals deterioration, cracking, delamination, corrosion and other factors that may otherwise remain undetected.
Within Canada and the U.S., bridges and roads are rapidly aging. Moreover, coming up with the funds necessary each year to replace and repair essential infrastructure is an ongoing challenge.
In response, many cities and engineering firms are beginning to incorporate a non-invasive technology known as Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) into the condition assessment process. GPR provides a cost-effective method to examine the subsurface conditions of roads and bridges, and deliver insights into deterioration, cracking, delamination, corrosion and other factors that may otherwise remain undetected.
Our RoadMap solution provides ground-coupled GPR surveying which yields extremely high resolution data. It is collected at posted speeds which often reduces or completely eliminates the need for traffic control. Unlike traditional inspection methods such as chain dragging and hammer sounding, GPR picks up on subsurface anomalies at the inception stage, before they become a threat to structural integrity. Moreover, the results of the survey are objective and not dependent on an operator's skill level or interpretation. Once analyzed, locations for coring can be selectively targeted based on areas that indicate weathering or deterioration. This greatly reduces the amount of destructive testing required. Results are then calibrated and incorporated into geo-referenced maps combined with a deterioration index that determines good versus deteriorated condition. Data can be stored each time a bridge or road is inspected to create a predictive model of how the infrastructure might change overtime.
This supports more informed planning around design and rehabilitation which in turn, improves infrastructure reliability. In fact, in 2005, the U.S. Transportation Research Board launched a body of research known as the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP2) which concluded that capturing data via non-destructive techniques serves to prevent the premature and unexpected failure of roads and bridge decks.

Not at all. Sugar was not as readily available back then and was highly taxed.

Mods can you make this a sticky, please?
This event is coming up real soon and it looks like the Jim and I will be tackling our 2nd TSD together. I hope to get some upgraded lighting by then, maybe some mud flaps as well. But unfortunately we may have to roll on RE92s until I get some serious treadblock action. Hope some of you other CLUBWRXers can make it.

So I got out shooting today. Took a few .22 pistols and my Walther PPS. I used Federal gameshock .22 lr ammo.
It worked o.k. with no notable issues with cycling through my Buckmark . However once I took out the Ruger single six I noted a vast difference in velocity (sound and recoil) during shooting.
I am sure some of the gas escapes from the cylinder/force cone area, but it was somewhat ridiculous . I actually saw a few rounds lob into the target and found one bullet that didn't penetrate both sides of the: cardboard box I was hitting. :mad:
I expect some velocity variation, but this is too much.
Gameshock is a good name however , because if I shot an animal with a slow moving bullet it would be thinking what just happened as it ran off.
I still had fun shooting , but it would have been more enjoyable with a bit more accurate "box o bullets" that at least could group decently.

Inhalants are common products and are very easy for teens to acquire. Some popular inhalants include petrol (gasoline), glue (adhesives), paint and paint thinners, hair spray, cleaning fluid, gas from lighters or barbecues (butane), nail polish remover, felt pens, cooking spray, typewriter correction fluid, computer cleaner, oven cleaners and nitrous oxide. Inhalants are ordinary legal products that are safe if used properly, however some teens can use inhalants to get high. Most inhalants are depressants that slow down the brain. When people 'sniff' or 'choof', these chemicals quickly move into the lungs and into the bloodstream, around the body and to the brain. The chemicals in the blood slow down the messages in the brain and through the central nervous system producing the unusual feelings that inhalant users seek.

It seems to me that in all the ongoing discussion about marriage we are losing sight of the beauty, deeper meaning and purpose of this institution that has been the cornerstone of the family, our society and of Western civilization for the last 2,000 years.
My brief discussion will center on the Christian marriage, the main form of marriage in our country.
Christian marriage is not a contract but a covenant.
A contract is a binding agreement between two parties with terms and conditions to be fulfilled and is based in some degree of distrust and is usually temporary.
A covenant, on the other hand, is a newly created family bond between two parties who pledge an oath of fidelity and loyalty before God as a witness. If this oath is fulfilled, God will impart his blessings and protection; if it is broken, God withhold those blessings and protection. A covenant is based on trust between the couple and is a permanent and lifelong commitment.
John Paul II had a further insight about the beauty and meaning of marriage. Marriage, he said, gives a glance of the Holy Trinity, where the Father gives all he has to the Son, the Son gives all he has to the Father and the love that unites them is the Holy Spirit.
In the same way the husband gives himself to the wife and the wife does the same to the husband, and their fruitful love between each other are the children.
Marriage, he also said, is a sign of Christ's self-giving love for us in laying down his life for us on the cross. In the same way the husband lays down his life for his wife in an act of self-giving love. The wife responds with freedom and love, and this love creates new life.
Anytime we discuss any new definition of marriage, we should try to have a clear understanding of this institution before we draw any comparisons.
Roberto Turnbull, M.D.

Young Kiwi sailors Molly Meech and Alex Maloney have won gold at the ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyeres in France.
The pair have finished well clear of their nearest opposition in the 49erFX fleet after finishing fifth, fourth and fifth in the final three stadium races.
Starting the day with a lead of 18 points the young kiwis sailed three quick-fire ten minute races on a short 'stadium course' with narrow boundaries.
"It was tough, it was quite stressful out there," said Maloney. "With it being so light and shifty the leaders changed all the time."
The silver medal winners Charlotte Dobson and Mary Rook representing Great Britain finished 14 points behind the kiwis, with Annemiek Bekering and Claire Blom of the Netherlands collecting the bronze.
Hyeres is the final regatta of the 2012-13 ISAF Sailing World Cup Series and this result secures Maloney and Meech the overall series victory in the 49erFX counting Gold in Melbourne, Silver in Palma and now Gold in Hyeres.
Josh Junior collected bronze in the Finn class after finishing third and fourth in the medal races.
Marcus Hansen and Josh Porebski have finished seventh in the 49er class, while the men's 470 crew of Paul Snow-Hansen and Dan Willcox have moved up one place on the final day to eighth.
Andy Maloney has finished seventh in the Laser fleet.

but we also donated land & tens millions of dollars per year for the Holocaust museum. An event that didn't happen here nor was perpetrated by the U.S. Despite this
Holocaust -"Never Forget"
Slavery/Jim Crow-"Get over it"
How is Israel the responsibility of the U.S. government?
This is one thing I've never understood. I've visited the Dachau Concentration Camp in Germany, which is now a museum. I noticed a lot of men wearing yarmulkes visiting the place with their families which should come as no surpise. I've also visited both the African-American and Holocaust Museums in D.C. It's understandable that there would be a Holocaust museum in Germany and an African-American museum in the U.S., but having a Holocaust museum in the U.S. makes about as much sense as having an African-American museum in Germany. The Germans would probably laugh if someone suggested such a thing. Also, from a logical and moral perspective, Germany should be the nation subsidizing Israel to the tune of $3 billion a year, not the U.S. The U.S. has more of a moral obligation to Liberia than it does Israel.
The Holocaust was the worst thing to happen to Jews who were doing quite well.
We didn't have a queer relationship with Israel until decades after Truman
Israel could exist without fricking over the US and controlling our Congress.
The Holocaust was the worst thing to happen to Jews who were doing quite well. Slavery was the best thing to happen to blacks who were primitive illiterate savages. Today, thanks to slavery, many American blacks are doing quite well. Not so in today's Africa.
Lsu pimp final solution. Thats what Hitler said. That kind of hate speech is bannable hate speech. Calling for deaths of anyone does mit belong on TD
Because I was under the impression Truman, the moron, arranged to give Israel immediate recognition, "no questions asked".
quote:Ike was the last American-firster president. Obama has often been accused of hating Israel (despite the fact that he acceded to every request they've ever made) but compared to Ike he's a hardcore Likudnik.
When for example Eisenhower threw them out of Suez in '56 we had control of our national interests and weren't in their pocket.
Do you realize that you just contradicted yourself? Using your own convoluted logic, surely you realize that the Holocaust was the best thing that ever happened to Jews, since without it, they wouldn't have their own state with the world's only superpower at its beck and call. I'm going to assume that you're just trolling and that you're not really that stupid.
I am keeping an eye on the Holocaust talk to see how long before the "move on" or "get over it" talk begins.

Welfare abuse is a severe problem across the country. Each year, millions of Americans receive government benefits such as housing assistance, food stamps, telephone service, and other funds. Rather than supporting themselves, many of these citizens feel the taxpayers should foot their bills. Time and time again, there have been gross examples of people taking advantage of the system. Initially, this sparks some discussion; and for a while, people really seem dedicated to welfare reform. However, lasting change never comes, and taxpayers continue to be robbed of their hard-earned dollars.
This past fall, a radio show gave concrete, indisputable evidence that welfare abuse is taking place every day. Two men on the KLBJ radio station in Austin, Texas were having a discussion about welfare. They were saying that as a result of federal programs, people were coming to expect free money from the government. Then, something they probably didn't expect happened. A woman called in, explained that she lived off welfare, and said she found no reason to stop. Furthermore, she claimed it wasn't fair for them to antagonize her because she lived off welfare.
Let's Not Forget About Lucy
The woman introduced herself as Lucy, a 32-year-old mother and wife with no desire to work. She personally receives over $1,200 a month in federal assistance. Her husband, who works odd jobs, also receives family benefits. She does not work but is able to–and says she has no desire to ever work or contribute to society. She doesn't see why she should work, when with welfare, she can stay home all day, hang out with friends, and smoke marijuana–and still get paid. As if this wasn't audacious enough, Lucy said she's disgusted by people who think she's a bad person for living off tax dollars. She views working class people as idiots, even, because they work only to receive what she already has. She asked the radio hosts why she should work when she receives everything she needs for free. Lucy expects to be on welfare for the rest of her life, just like her parents.
Unsurprisingly, Lucy's speech was met with disgust and outrage. People were furious that our government allows people to live in such an entitled manner. A video of the radio segment went viral on YouTube:
The response it sparked made hardworking people everywhere hopeful that welfare might finally be reformed.
Social Assistance Is Damaging
It goes without saying that people like Lucy should not and cannot be allowed to continue living the way they do. Our country was built by hardworking and dedicated people; that's what the American dream is all about. Part of what people need, though, is an incentive to work. If we took away Lucy's welfare benefits, you can bet she'd be out there filling out job applications just like the rest of us.
Right now, welfare and other assistance programs are a self-perpetuating burden on taxpayers. As Lucy mentioned in the segment, people learn about welfare at a young age because they see their parents receiving it. She said you'd be stupid not to take free money when it was offered. Furthermore, she mentioned it can be difficult to get off welfare once you're receiving full benefits.

When anthrax appeared in New York, Washington DC, and Florida, fear of this biological weapon rippled across the country. How real is the threat to the Miami Valley?
"Our emergency response systems - 911, police, fire, and emergency departments - have received hundreds of calls and visits from citizens who were concerned they might have been exposed to anthrax," says Dr. Glenn Hamilton, professor and chair of emergency medicine at Wright State University School of Medicine. "We want the public to remain alert and aware, but not unduly fearful."
As a public service, a coalition of health care organizations has developed the following fact sheet on anthrax information for the Miami Valley. The group will issue these fact sheets as the need arises or as information changes.
1. Is there anthrax in the Miami Valley?
To date, there is no evidence of anthrax in the Miami Valley.
There are no documented cases in the State of Ohio.
The six largest post offices in Ohio, including Dayton, have tested negative for anthrax.
Each of nearly 2000 samples submitted to the Ohio Department of Health has tested negative for anthrax.
All calls investigated by EMS and Fire Departments have been negative for anthrax.
2. Is the Miami Valley a likely target?
The Miami Valley is no more likely to be a target than any other community of similar size in the United States.
3. What is my risk of becoming infected with anthrax?
Almost none.
It cannot be passed from one person to another.
Anthrax has not been found in the Miami Valley.
4. What if I think I have been exposed to anthrax?
Do not panic.
Put the item down.
Wash your hands with soap and water.
Call 911 to report a possible hazardous material.
5. Should I seek medical attention after a possible exposure?
While recognizing that a possible exposure to anthrax is frightening, it is not a medical emergency.
Contact your healthcare provider for instructions.
6. What if the situation changes?
Representatives of the endorsing agencies are meeting regularly to monitor the situation and provide updates as needed.
We will maintain active communication with the public.
For further information, visit www.gdaha.org.
These statements are endorsed by: Dayton Chapter of the American Red Cross, Greater Dayton Area Hospital Association, Greater Miami Valley EMS Council, Montgomery County Medical Society, Wright State University School of Medicine, local health departments.

Firestone mechanic auto care ripoff Santa Ana California
Does your business have a bad reputation?

I took my car to this place because the engine light was on and I needed repairs in order to pass a smog check. They told me what needed to be done, they replaced the part, and I paid nearly $1,000 for it. Then, just a few weeks later, the engine light came on again. I took it back to them and they said another part needed to be replaced. But I knew that I had just replaced that particular part a few months ago with a different mechanic. So I no longer trusted these guys and did not want them making any further repairs. But I demanded a full refund for the work that was done. They said the work had been done, so they refused to issue a refund at all.
If their evaluation or assessment was wrong and they replaced the wrong part, then I should not have had to pay for it. I came to them to have a specific problem fixed, and they failed to do so. Do not go to these guys!!

Latest statistics from the Shiller IndexDean Foust
The latest survey from the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index is out, and no drama here, folks, it shows that prices in 10 major metro areas fell at an annualized 5% rate during August. Or maybe the surprise was that prices didn't fall further.
Perhaps more chilling were the comments from Robert Shiller, the Yale professor who helped develop the index – and who has been warning of a housing bubble for some time – that were attached to the report:
"At both the national and the metro levels, the fall in home prices is showing no real signs of a slowdown or turnaround," said Robert Shiller, chief economist at MacroMarkets, who helped develop the index. "There is really no positive news in today's report, as most of the metro areas are showing signs of declining or vanishing returns on both an annual and monthly basis."
An Associated Press account of the survey results can be found here. And the spreadsheet showing monthly data for a vast swath of the country can be found here and here.

SECO Energy, one of the largest electric cooperatives in the US, has selected Sensus as its smart-grid technology provider. Sensus will provide the Florida cooperative its FlexNet™ Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) communications network and more than 172,000 electric meters equipped with remote connect and disconnect capabilities.
SECO selected Sensus after an extensive evaluation of smart-grid technologies and a six-month pilot testing the FlexNet AMI network and 1,200 electric meters. The FlexNet system, which is based on open standards, is a point-to-multipoint wireless network communicating via FCC-protected spectrum. The solution offered the highest transmitting power of the technologies the co-op considered and enabled SECO to easily reach a widely-dispersed membership across seven noncontiguous counties.
SECO anticipates the smart-grid program will help reduce the cost of fuel and staff time required for manual meter reads and will provide additional savings by alerting the utility about meter theft and tampering. The FlexNet network will also help engineers monitor system endpoints and transformer and substation performance to improve overall quality and reliability of service.

Kinder Surprise USA: Why These Eggs Are Banned South Of The Border
Kids love picking up a Kinder Surprise from the store. After all, who could say no to a surprise toy wrapped in chocolate? But while the innocent treat can be found around the world, it's actually deemed illegal in the U.S.
But why are Kinder eggs banned? The U.S. law against the chocolate egg actually dates back to 1938. At that time, the country's Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act banned all candies embedded with "non-nutritive objects," such as toys. So, when Kinder eggs began to be manufactured in the '70s by Italian company Ferrero, they fell under this law and were made illegal in the U.S.
In addition to that, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) claims the surprise toy could be a choking hazard for kids. As a result, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection often issues press releases reminding people that these treats "may be cute and seasonal but they are too dangerous to children to be imported legally into the U.S."
Despite warnings, this hasn't stopped people from trying to smuggle the chocolate eggs across the border. According to the National Post, about 60,000 Kinder eggs were confiscated at the U.S.-Canada border in 2011. Additionally, there have been reports of people who were detained for being in possession of the candy at the border and who received fines of up to $1,200 per egg.
Over the years, many people have called out the U.S. for their "ridiculous" Kinder egg ban and questioned the reasoning behind it.
"These Kinder Surprise eggs are super cool. My kids nine and three love them to death," one commenter wrote on BabyCenter. "The egg has a plastic capsula inside the chocolate egg. And all small parts [are] in that capsula. I do not see how is this possible to choke. We never had any problems. My son can't even open the capsula by himself."
On the internet, countless memes have also cropped up poking fun at the ban's absurdity.
Posted by Kinder egg memes on Tuesday, July 22, 2014
In 2013, the message behind these memes were used as part of a gun control PSA by Moms Demand Action to contrast the U.S. laws put in place to protect children.
#Campaign_story Moms Demand Action, is a campaign of the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund. The group was founded...
Posted by Digital Essence on Tuesday, September 8, 2015
While there have been at least seven reported child deaths worldwide due to choking on a Kinder Surprise since 1989, many argue that the fatalities are quite low considering the billions of Kinder eggs that are sold and consumed. Additionally, the chocolate egg warns parents a number of times with its packaging that these toys are not suitable for kids under the age of three and that supervision is recommended.
Although Kinder Surprise eggs continue to be banned in the U.S. today, the country does offer an alternative treat. They're called Choco Treasure eggs. While they might seem no different than their banned counterpart, these Choco treats feature a "specially-designed capsule that separates the two halves of the chocolate so even a small child can see the there's something on the inside." They are also bigger – about the size of a extra-large hen's egg.

The Art of Public Speaking HTML version
The perception of the ludicrous is a pledge of sanity.
--RALPH WALDO EMERSON, Essays.
And let him be sure to leave other men their turns to speak.
--FRANCIS BACON, Essay on Civil and Moral Discourse.
Perhaps the most brilliant, and certainly the most entertaining, of all speeches are those delivered on
after-dinner and other special occasions. The air of well-fed content in the former, and of expectancy well
primed in the latter, furnishes an audience which, though not readily won, is prepared for the best, while the
speaker himself is pretty sure to have been chosen for his gifts of oratory.
The first essential of good occasional speaking is to study the occasion. Precisely what is the object of the
meeting? How important is the occasion to the audience? How large will the audience be? What sort of people
are they? How large is the auditorium? Who selects the speakers' themes? Who else is to speak? What are
they to speak about? Precisely how long am I to speak? Who speaks before I do and who follows?
If you want to hit the nail on the head ask such questions as these.[35] No occasional address can succeed
unless it fits the occasion to a T. Many prominent men have lost prestige because they were too careless or too
busy or too self-confident to respect the occasion and the audience by learning the exact conditions under
which they were to speak. Leaving too much to the moment is taking a long chance and generally means a
less effective speech, if not a failure.
Suitability is the big thing in an occasional speech. When Mark Twain addressed the Army of the Tennessee
in reunion at Chicago, in 1877, he responded to the toast, "The Babies." Two things in that after-dinner speech
are remarkable: the bright introduction, by which he subtly claimed the interest of all, and the humorous use
of military terms throughout:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen: "The Babies." Now, that's something like. We haven't all had the good fortune
to be ladies; we have not all been generals, or poets, or statesmen; but when the toast works down to the
babies, we stand on common ground--for we've all been babies. It is a shame that for a thousand years the
world's banquets have utterly ignored the baby, as if he didn't amount to anything! If you, gentlemen, will stop
and think a minute--if you will go back fifty or a hundred years, to your early married life, and recontemplate
your first baby--you will remember that he amounted to a good deal--and even something over.
"As a vessel is known by the sound, whether it be cracked or not," said Demosthenes, "so men are proved by
their speeches whether they be wise or foolish." Surely the occasional address furnishes a severe test of a
speaker's wisdom. To be trivial on a serious occasion, to be funereal at a banquet, to be long-winded
ever--these are the marks of non-sense. Some imprudent souls seem to select the most friendly of after-dinner
occasions for the explosion of a bomb-shell of dispute. Around the dinner table it is the custom of even
political enemies to bury their hatchets anywhere rather than in some convenient skull. It is the height of bad
taste to raise questions that in hours consecrated to good-will can only irritate.
Occasional speeches offer good chances for humor, particularly the funny story, for humor with a genuine
point is not trivial. But do not spin a whole skein of humorous yarns with no more connection than the inane
and threadbare "And that reminds me." An anecdote without bearing may be funny but one less funny that fits
theme and occasion is far preferable. There is no way, short of sheer power of speech, that so surely leads to

Anmeldelser af denne bolig
Nice cozy Appartement in the very center of Paris. Everything was clean and tidy. The Staff was very polite and helpful, giving us advise to have an enjoyable time in Paris. Highly recommandable.
Beautiful location - great views!! Space was all we needed, with large comfortable beds. Fabienne was helpful & accomodating. The only issue was we weren't given the exact apartment we booked (I think she has a few in the same building) but we weren't too worried as there were still the same amount of beds, and we were only there for the night so was fine for us.
Everything was as mentioned in a great location. Less than a minute from one of the main train stations. Liked the location very much. The landlord was really nice too.
We had a good time in the appartment. It is very well located, five minutes from the Ille de la Cite and shopping begins at your doorstep. The owners of the appartment were very helpful and flexible. Don't expect a fancy appartment, but it is well kept, clean and has (for Parisians) quite some space. I would definitely rent it again.
Very nice and clean apartment in a pretty good location, just in the heart of Paris!
The hostess was very helpful and she also gave us touristic information.
If I ever return to Paris I will definitely repeat the accomodation!
It's a nice little apartment with a pretty good location! You are exactly in the centre of Paris! The Notre Dame and the Louvre Museum are almost around the corner. And for those who dont like to walk that much there is also a metro station just 1 minute away from the apartment.
So i would definitely book it again when i'm going again to Paris! :)
Perfect location for sightseeing in Paris! The appartment was clean and practical. Quite a few stairs to go up, but surprisingly quiet.
We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Regards, Kristine
We had a great experience staying in this appartment. It has a great central location for sightseeing Paris as well as for going out. Furthermore it is spacious, very clean and equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay incl. fast wi-fi and TV among others. I also appreciated communication with the owner- she speaks very good English and was responding quickly to ours e-mails and calls. I would highly recommend staying at this place :)

Delhi gang-rape: Will victim's real name kill the real cause?
- Dailybhaskar.com
- Jan 07, 2013, 14:48 PM IST
New Delhi: As the massive outcry over the brutal gang-rape and murder of a 23-year-old medical student in Delhi refuses to subside, UK tabloid has triggered a debate whether victim's identity should be revealed or not.
As some of you may know, a British newspaper has published the name of the 23-year-old rape victim with the "permission of her father". Section 228A of the Indian Penal Code, which prohibits the publication of the name of a deceased rape victim without the permission of her next of kin, prescribes a specific procedure by which this permission is to be accorded: it must be given in writing to a welfare organisation or institution recognised by the Central or state governments.
To the best of our knowledge, this procedure, which was presumably introduced into law as an added layer of protection for the victim and her family, has not yet been followed. We respect the father's wish to go public but unless he states the same in writing in the manner prescribed, one should be bound by the statute to continue withholding the name of the victim.
We at Dailybhaskar feel no matter what, the victim's identity should not have been disclosed. Till when it was not done, one could easily connect with the victim, feeling she could have been their sister or daughter.
People have been braving bone-chilling weather since December 16 -- the day when the girl was sexually assaulted on a moving bus by six men -- to protest at Jantar Mantar. But now the cause seems to be getting diluted.
For weeks, protesters and newspapers has been using a series of symbolic names to refer to the student who died from the injuries inflicted on her during a brutal gang-rape. One network called her the Braveheart; another called her Amanat (Treasure). That's because Indian law prohibits making public the names of victims of rape. The Indian press, which has reported extensively on the victim's family, friends and hometown, has taken great care to obscure any details that may identify her.
Now some are questioning why. Minister of Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor wondered aloud on his popular Twitter feed what, exactly, the purpose was of keeping the victim's name shrouded in secrecy. "Why not name&honour her as a real person w/own identity?" he wrote on Jan. 1. "Unless her parents object, she should be honoured & the revised anti-rape law named after her. She was a human being w/a name, not just a symbol."
Spurning the claims that he had allowed his daughter's name to be disclosed, the victim's father has clarified that his daughter's name could only be used if the government wanted to christen the new anti-rape legislation in her memory.
He categorically denied that he allowed his daughter to be identified after a British paper revealed her name. Her identity should be made public only if a law was named after her, he told Hindustan Times.
"I have only said we won't have any objection if the government uses my daughter's name for a new law for crime against women that is more stringent and better framed that the existing one," he said.
"I want my daughter to be known as the one who could bring a change in the society and laws, and not as a victim of a barbaric crime," he told HT.
The Sunday People, the Daily Mirror's Sunday edition, quoted the father as saying, "We want the world to know her real name. My daughter didn't do anything wrong, she died while protecting herself. I am proud of her."
The tabloid, which put his picture and that of his family on its website, interviewed him in his ancestral village in Ballia in Uttar Pradesh. The report also named the father and the two brothers.
Though the father shared the family album with them, he asked them not to carry the victim's picture, the report said.
"Revealing her name will give courage to other women who have survived these attacks. They will find strength from my daughter," the Sunday People quoted the father as saying.
His daughter, who was training to be a physiotherapist, was raped and brutalised by six men on a moving bus and then thrown off it. She died of her injuries on December 29 in a Singapore hospital.
