I'm glad you discovered me!
People are the Heart and common denominator of my work. A typical week may include photographing a newborn, a family, a pregnant mother, an author or conducting a tutorial. In addition, ad agencies, organizations and individuals frequently commission me to create portrait exhibits.
My photography has been displayed at the United Nations, the US Capital Rotunda and other national venues and has been featured in numerous publications. I serve clients nationwide. Overseas requests typically require several weeks notice.
My Style
I believe good photography has "Heart," in that it reflects the Spirit within. To this end, my photography is vibrant, compelling and authentic in the sense that it feels real. When I do my best work, the subjects catch a glimpse of their Spirit reflected within the images.
Photography with Heart does not merely document our lives, it affirms it. It may be a heroic struggle with an illness or celebrating life's transitions such as birth, graduations, marriage, even death. Photography with Heart can reflect us at our best and serve as a catalyst for our growth.
Being selected as your photographer is a privilege and an honor. I will provide compelling images you and your loved ones will cherish.

Aston Villa 3-0 Rotherham
- From the section Football
Aston Villa easily progressed to the Capital One Cup third round after sweeping aside League One Rotherham.
Villa boss Paul Lambert named a strong side and they established control early on when Andreas Weimann took advantage of Kari Arnason's mistake to smash in.
Christian Benteke then made it 2-0 before the break after he rose to nod in Gabriel Agbonlahor's cross.
The Belgian striker was involved again for the third as he flicked the ball to Fabian Delph for a smart finish.
Villa do not have a Premier League game this weekend because they have already played scheduled opponents Chelsea, who face Bayern Munich in the European Super Cup on Friday evening.
So Lambert held nothing back against Steve Evans's Rotherham side, who had enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season.
Villa reached last season's League Cup semi-final after Lambert picked similarly strong teams before being beaten by Bradford of League Two.
They could have had a greater margin of victory over the Millers, but were wasteful in the final 30 minutes, Agbonlahor and Joe Bennett both missing good opportunities.
Although well beaten, the Millers acquitted themselves well, particularly in the first half, where Alex Revell could have twice given them the lead, while Michael O'Connor's off-target free-kick was the highlight of their second half.
Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert: "You have got to earn the right to win the football match but I thought we would with the team we put out. Some of the football was excellent. The third goal - the one-touch football was brilliant.
"There is a different feeling this time to Bradford. The squad is really together and strong and we trusted them to go out there and perform and they have been excellent.
"Cup football is a difficult thing because you can play against a small team and they are a totally different animal to what you are used to playing in the league. But we handled it well."
Rotherham boss Steve Evans: "To create cup upsets you have to go in front, it's Roy of Rovers to think you can come from 2-0 down. We had to go in front and put pressure on Villa so it was very hard went we went behind.
"For 25 minutes we were by far the better side, we had two or three good chances, dominated possession, but we made a mistake and they had the quality to hurt us.
"It's two mistakes for the first two goals, we have to accept that the first one was an incredible finish and the second one, well there aren't many better players than Benteke to head that in at the far post.
"When they got the second it was a long night for us and we were chasing the ball a lot."

A judge on Wednesday dismissed charges against a Steamboat Springs man accused of making sexual advances toward his child's nanny and threatening her if she reported him.
District Judge Michael O'Hara dismissed the charges at the request of the District Attorney's Office, which reached a plea agreement with the defense. The dismissed charges included first-degree criminal trespass, harassment, intimidating a witness and indecent exposure. The suspect pleaded not guilty to the charges in February.
According to the plea agreement, the District Attorney's Office will refile a single harassment charge against the man.
"This is what should have been charged in the first place," Jeff Pagliuca, the man's Denver attorney, said of the plea agreement.
The alleged victim, a 28-year-old woman, reported the man's advances last August.
She told police her employer had been exposing himself to her for a year and claimed he threatened her with deportation if she reported the advances. The woman, who came to Colorado on a work visa, no longer lives at the man's house.
The new harassment charge, which Deputy District Attorney Erick Knaus said he intends to file soon, arises from the same facts used in the initial charges.
On Wednesday, the victim pleaded with O'Hara to uphold the charges and proceed with the scheduled June trial. "As a victim, I feel the need to have my day in court," she said. "I have tolerated many months of suffering and pain. It has been extremely difficult to go on with my day-to-day life."
Pagliuca argued the victim's statement had no bearing on the facts of the case.
"I have a client, in my opinion, who is being spoken about poorly in this courtroom."
The victim asked that Knaus, who was handed the case Monday, have more time to study the evidence. Knaus replaced former Deputy District Attorney Dave Moffat on Monday. Moffat worked out the plea agreement with the man's legal counsel before he left the district attorney's office.
Knaus said he could not presume to know what Moffat was thinking when he worked out the plea agreement but that he had no reason not to honor it.
"I'm in a position where I haven't had an opportunity to review the case at a level that I think it deserves," Knaus said. "I am not prepared to go forward with this case as it stands."

Where I stayed
Breakfast in the hostel was free, but as we had experienced such varying breakfast offerings, we headed down to see what the craic was! We arrived in the kitchen to find oodles of pancake mix, pans and toppings. Chris jumped in and started to cook some lovely pancakes which were then topped by Annabelle with a huge dollop of Strawberry Jam, we washed these down with huge pots of coffee, lovely start to the day!!
We headed down to catch the cable cars to Pier 33 to catch the ferry to Alcatraz, unfortunately the cable cars are a tourist favourite, so after one look at the queue we decided we would have no chance getting there on time
We arrived and collected our tickets, had our photo taken and then jumped on the ferry. The crossing itself only takes 15 minutes to travel the 1 � mile over to the island. Alcatraz was a former Military Base, Military Prison then in 1934 the High Security Federal Penitentiary we all know and love. When we arrived we had a 5 minute talk from the ranger and then started exploring. Included in the price was an award winning audio tour where 4 Correctional officers and 4 previous inmates spoke about the Prison and directed us where to go, but before we did this we had a walk around the grounds, saw the officers club and where the Officers families used to live.
We picked up the audio tour through the shower room, as this was the way prisoners were brought in. The prisoners would come in cuffed and shackled and have their first search for contraband such as weapons and narcotics. They would then have a shower -the first of their 2 a week allowance, before collecting their prison issue clothing – the Alcatraz blues. In each of the cells on arrival was a book of rules and regulations that each inmate had to follow. Regulation #5 was, 'You are entitled to food, clothing, shelter and medical attention. Anything else that you get is a privilege.' This meant that everyone started at the same level with no preferences. This meant any jobs within the prison were greatly sought after, as it was the only opportunity for the inmates to get out of their cells during the day.
The tour took us round the cells, stopping at any of interest
In 1946 there was an escape attempt, 6 convicts were involved in what became known as the battle of Alcatraz. 6 inmates overpowered several guards and took over the cellhouse for 2 days. At the end of the sige 2 guards and 3 of the inmates had been killed. The remaining inmates were punished – 2 were executed and 1 was given life imprisonment.
In the Penitentiary's history only 3 people have escaped. These were brothers John William Anglin & Clarence Anglin with Frank Lee Morris. They used spoons to dig out the wall beneath the sink in their cells leading to the utility corridor – they then were able to get out of the prison to a raft. To this day their location is not known – some people say they would not have been able to survive the Bay and died, whereas others think they managed to escape to South America.
Some Facts about Alcatraz;
- It was a Federal Penitentiary between 1934 and 1963
- There were 1576 inmates processed, 90 Correctional officers, 53 rules & regulations, 14 escape
attempts and 4 wardens
- It covers 12 acres and has cliffs that drop 75 feet into the San Francisco Bay
- The cells were 5'x9'x7'
- The inmate were in their cells 23 hours a day – with 3 20 minute slots for meals
- The warden imposed a rule of silence – only when spoken to were the inmates allowed to speak.
All meals were held in silence.
- Recreation time was only at the weekends for 2 � hours each day, but this was weather
dependent. During the winter – inmates could be in the prison for weeks without going outside.
Of the 1576 inmates The most notorious were;
- AZ 85 Alphonse 'Scarface' Capone – from USP Atlanta – 1934–1939 – for income tax evasion
- AZ 117 George 'Machine Gun' Kelly – from USP Leavenworth – 1934–1951 – for kidnapping
- AZ 268 Arthur 'Doc' Barker – from USP Leavenworth – 1935–1939 – for conspiracy to kidnap
- AZ 325 Alvin 'Creepy Karpis' Karpavicz – from USP Leavenworth – 1936–1962 – for conspiracy to
- AZ 594 Robert 'The Birdman' Stroud – from USP Leavenworth – 1942–1959 – for murder
- AZ 117 Ellsworth 'Bumpy' Johnson – from USP Leavenworth – 1954-1958 & 1959-1963 – for
- AZ 1518 Meyer 'Micky' Cohen – direct to Alcatraz – 1961-1963 – for income tax evasion
The saying was, 'Break the rules and you go to Prison, break Prison rules and you go to Alcatraz.'
In 1969, 6 years after the Penitentiary had closed, a group of American Indians claimed Alcatraz for 'Indians of all Tribes'
We had a good 4 hours on the island – it was brilliant, so interesting and what an eye opener. Makes the prisons in England look like a holiday camp. When we arrived back on land and decided to take a walk further down the pier to Fishermans Wharf, this is one of the main tourist destinations on the coastline and as it was the weekend it was packed. We looked around some of the shops and Annabelle debated whether to buy an Alcatraz T-shirt but in the end we gave it a miss. We then headed up to the top level of the pier to the Bubba Gump Seafood Restaurant where Annabelle purchased her new cap, one which finally fits her head!!! It says Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. on the front and has netting on the side to keep her rather large head cool, perfect!
Heading back downstairs we found a Pearl Factory outlet and Chris decided to treat Annabelle to a Pearl necklace to mark our anniversary. You can choose the Oyster yourself (and pay $15) from a huge bowl and then have it opened in front of you, the deal is that you really want a pink pearl as they are a little more rare, the black and blue being very, very rare indeed. Chris picked up the first one and it was a lovely large pink pearl, thinking that there must be a trick to this we checked by looking over some other people shoulders who were also buying them and were satisfied when we realised that they had only picked small white pearls, we then chose a chain and setting for it
Later after taking pictures next to the famous Heart of San Francisco we found a little Italian restaurant and decided to take a flier on a happy hour drinks and food promotion they were running. We headed in and were the first in the restaurant, the barman was fantastic and was full of info about San Fran and suggestions of where to g to eat and drink. We ordered Chris a bottle of the famous local 'Anchor Steamed Beer' and Annabelle had a well deserved glass of red wine. We then opted for some shared appetizers: Bruschetta, Seafood Risotto and Meat Ravioli. Annabelle got chatting to an interesting American couple as we sat at the bar. The chap must have been about 80 and was a Vietnam Veteran. He told her about his time and how during the war they had to cancel R&R in Australia as soldiers were going and not coming back. Once we were suitably full we paid and Annabelle posed for pictures with a huge bottle of wine on the way out.
We had best intentions to go back to the Hostel and finish our washing and packing for the next part of the Green Tortoise trip when we stumbled upon a nice little pub on the corner that also happened to have a happy hour! So we jumped at the chance to have a decent drink at a good price, we had a lovely time drinking, chatting about where we had been and thinking about the future. 4 Stella's, 1 whiskey and coke and 4 vodka and Cranberry's later we stumbled back to do our washing, pack our bags and prepare for the next part of the trip to Yosemite .... what a nice way to spend an anniversary.

GUANGZHOU, China Though the U.S. national team's comfortable 119-73 victory Monday against China in a World Championship tune-up here was no surprise, the show highlighted basketball's growing popularity in the world's most populous nation.
"I started loving the NBA with the Dream Team and the 'Space Flyer,' " as Michael Jordan is known to Chinese fans, said retired soldier Donghai Chen, 64.
" 'Dream Seven' is not as good as the first," Chen added in using the popular Chinese name for this U.S. men's team, the seventh crop of NBA stars since the 1992 squad that electrified the Barcelona Olympics. "But I like some of the new players, especially Dwyane Wade, and they are still the best in the world."
It will take time, though, for Asia to get truly excited about this U.S. group of NBA stars, said Tim Noonan, TV basketball analyst in China and editor of the Asian publication SportView.
"The buzz will be muted until Tokyo," Noonan said of the FIBA World Championship, which will start August 19. "Except for (LeBron) James and Wade, the 'Dream Seven' team is not so well known in China. It needs the highlights on TV first. Having Kobe Bryant (out with an injured knee) here would have made a huge difference."
Though high ticket prices ($85-$477) meant Chen decided to watch his heroes on television and the 10,000-seat stadium was not at full capacity, those fans who attended seemed to go home happy.
"The score doesn't matter; it was great to see all those famous players in the flesh," said construction entrepreneur Li Changbiao, 38, who has watched the NBA on TV for years. "My 1,860-yuan ticket (roughly $235) was definitely worth the price."
Those sentiments are music to the ears of NBA commissioner David Stern, who revealed Sunday in Guangzhou that next year he plans to hold regular-season games for the first time in China.
"China is the second biggest market to the NBA," Stern said.
Yao brings honor to game
Blanket media coverage and hundreds of cheering fans met the U.S. team's arrival in China; Stern himself has been plastered in pictures all over the local media. It was a far cry from 1990, when Stern arrived in Beijing only to be snubbed by the national broadcaster, China Central Television (CCTV).
One official then warned him that Chinese sports broadcasting should "bring honor to the motherland," not merely entertain.
"Nobody at CCTV even seemed to know who David Stern was," American writer Brook Larmer recounted in his book Operation Yao Ming.
They do now. After years of patient marketing — and the rise and rise of 7-6 Yao from Shanghai — CCTV broadcast Monday's game to an audience of hundreds of millions. Dr. Naismith's winter pastime is challenging to be China's No. 1 sport.
"Basketball used to be behind soccer, but now it's pulling level," said Hu Jiashi, vice president of the China Basketball Association, co-organizer of Monday's game. Hu estimated that 300 million to 400 million fans either play or watch the game regularly.
Professional basketball in China is only a decade old. Hu counted up to 700 professional players, spread over 90 teams in the China Basketball Association (CBA) and its female counterpart (WCBA).
The number has not increased dramatically, "but the quality has," Hu said.
The salaries of some reach $120,000 a year, though younger players get by on $1,250 to $2,500.
The NBA, Olympic basketball and the Chinese government's efforts have spurred the game's growth in China, Hu said. But the true secret weapon, at 7-6, is hardly inconspicuous.
"Yao Ming is the key factor in building fan support; the masses love him. He's a great player," Hu said.
The Houston Rockets center did not play in Monday's exhibition because of an injured left foot, but he took to the court to thank fans and promise a better performance next time.
More than packaging
The local fans cheered their illustrious opponents, too, especially the dunks of LeBron James, the leading scorer with 22 points.
"The fashion and celebrity (of the NBA) is important, too, but that's just the packaging," Hu Jiashi said. "The high technical level is the most important factor."
Tell that to the guys shooting hoops Monday, in baggy NBA gear, at the courts beside Sports City Highsun department store in downtown Guangzhou.
"The NBA is a very cool sport," said college student and English major Huang Guodong, 22. "It's the fashion, the attitude and the power."
Inside the shop, Huang reverently touched a $75 USA top emblazoned with the name of his favorite player — James. Then he looked at the Yao China jersey, which, at $63, was still beyond his student budget.
The U.S. players who made this trip raved after the game about China and the reaction of local fans.
"They're excited and very appreciative of having us here," said San Antonio Spurs swingman Bruce Bowen.
Guangzhou also left a deep impression.
"It's like New York City magnified 30 times. You see building after building, but you don't see a lot of disasters. They are serious about quality," Bowen said. "I am really looking forward to the Olympics in 2008."

Date of Stay: August, 2010
This park is so accommodating; wi-fi, activities for children and families,large sites which are big-rig friendly, free coffee in the morning, trash pickup at the site, easy access to Avalon and Stone Harbor beaches. There is a theme for each weekend, and all the activities can be enjoyed by all ages. The only negative is the dust from the roads. The speed limit of 5mph is not enforced, and this creates dust from golf carts and cars which is annoying. Overall, this was a great place to camp, and we highly recommend it.
Date of Stay: July, 2010
This campground is located near Ocean City NJ and is convenient to Cape May County shore points. We were happy with the wood like setting and the location to the shore. However, this campground is NOT big rig friendly. There are NO pull-throughs in the campground and because of trees and narrow roads, it is virtually impossible to back in without major effort as well as inevitable damage to the coach. Wi-Fi is only available at the snack bar and the service is not reliable. Management has changed and the friendly atmosphere we knew for 5 years has disappeared. The pool is very nice and fairly well-kept. The downside is that the owners open it to the public so it can be extremely crowded at times. We are disappointed in the change of management and in the rudeness that was shown to so many campers.It is not very camper-friendly. We will not return to this campground.

Let's face it - the XP calendar is crap with its drop-down month selection. Vista's calendar was powerful and usable. A XP replacement is doable, right? :)
How-To Geek Forums / Geek Stuff
Vista Calendar for XP(7 posts)
Not yet. Right now I'm evaluating PIMs to find the one that best suits my needs. But I'm not talking about a manageable calendar, where you can make entries and set alarms etc. etc.
Upon doubleclick on the XP clock you get a small calendar, which I often use as quick reference point. But this calendar has an awful navigation. I had Vista a few months back and I remember the navigation in its clock-calendar was neat, fast and intuitive.
I've checked the link and I must say - it's really KISS and it comes at nearest of what I'm looking for. Unfortunately it doesn't come along nicely with languages other then english. For example: I'm using an english OS with bulgarian locale settings. The WinCalender fails to use the weekdays shorthands (e.g. monday -> mon etc.) and uses instead the whole name. As a result only the 'monday' and a part of the 'tuesday' columns are visible and the rest is literally cut off. This makes the software useless.
I use LClock on my XP box and really love it. you can get it here http://www.neowin.net/forum/in.....pic=157465
bonus: you can even skin it.
devon, LClock was a good try, but I didn't liked it.
It's nice to a have an auto-hide feature, but when planing (what else could I be using a calender for) it bugs me. I know its an option and when disabled the calender stays visible unless you click it away. But here is the thing: in a Windows environment you're always looking for the [x] to close the window or for a button. None is there. I found it hard for me to adapt to be clicking once again on the clock to hide. A smarter solution IMHO here would be a [pin] button, which when clicked prevents the auto-hide and vice versa. This solution enables a situation-based auto-hide mechanism and not a general decision.
But that's not what I disliked in the calender: it doesn't show the week number, nor does the default XP calender, nor the Vista one (as far as I remember).
Anyway LClock is still the best one I've tried, but the search continues ...

Maybe things will work out after all. Simon spoke to the people at the Embassy in Canberra today and set up an appointment for the interview. It sounds like the letters we sent in helped prove our case and after what I understood they don't think there will be any issues for us getting the application approved.
But I'm not going to jump up and down of joy yet. We'll still have to see what happens. But Simon didn't have to bring print outs of our e-mail conversations or lots of photos of us to the interview if he didn't want to so it sounds like they believe that we're not in a scam relationship. I'll make sure he still brings some pictures, like the photo book I gave him for Valentine's Day. It sounds like the interview will be more like an informal conversation so that's good. Since Easter is coming up the interview is booked for the 9th of April, so two more weeks to wait. After Simon has had his interview, the application will be sent to Sweden and it's my turn to get questioned.
Simon also has been sending in some applications for jobs in Sweden. Apparently there might be an issue with him working within the security/alarm business (at least as a technical engineer) not being a Swedish citizen. We're trying to find out all the facts about this.

Now I should like to know whether your soul, tired of it's own righteousness, is learning to be revived by and to trust in the righteousness of Christ. For in our age the temptation to presumption besets many, especially those who try with all their might to be just and good without knowing the righteousness of God which is most bountifully and freely given us in Christ. They try to do good of themselves in order that they might stand before God clothed in their own virtues and merits. But this is impossible…Therefore, my dear brother, learn Christ and Him crucified. Learn to pray to him and, despairing of yourself, say, "Thou, Lord Jesus, art my righteousness, but I am thy sin. Thou hast taken upon thyself what is mine and hast given to me what is thine. Thou have taken upon thyself what thou wast not and hast given to me what I was not." … For why was it necessary for him to die if we can obtain a good conscience by our own works and afflictions? Accordingly you will find peace only in him and only when you despair of yourself and your own works. Besides, you will learn from him that just as he has recieved you, so he has made your sins his own and made his righteouness yours.

Someone remembered to tell the Blacks, Hispanics, women, young people, that lying p.o.s. Romney and the racist Republiklans does not care about them. Only the Black president cares about them, LOFL!!!!!! I know it pisses you stupid yard monkeys off for President Obama to be referred to as a Black man.

No one builds factories in Syria.
let's begin Asian-war and European-war.
The U.S. must not be involved these wars.
The U.S. must build car-factories in the U.S.,
the U.S. must make cars in the U.S.,
and the U.S. must export those cars from the U.S. to the world!
The U.S. can stop Free-Trade by doing nothing!
Literally, by doing nothing!
The U.S. must withdraw her American-Forces from Japan, from South-Korea, from asia, and from Europe.
Then, Asian-war and European-war will begin!
And, Free-Trade will fall.
Transportation of Crude-Oil and Transportation of cars will stop!
The U.S. will win!
This is a trade-war!
Remember Pearl Harbor!

That is the attitude that causes genocide of people. Where violence escalates to a war like status. It is a shame that you push guilt on a whole race as your race is not exactly angelic. In fact it is the most violent group in America and possibly around the world. You cry wolf so much that a growing amount of people don't care anymore. Now for the hundreth time, stop having the babies out of wedlock. Clean it up at home before you accuse others. And what is just as important. For all the years that I have listened to the racism spiel with your accusations in the end I have found a percentage of African Americans in my life to be. Shallow! If you can't spend the time and work to find out who did the deed to you four centuries ago while you have stolen trillions of dollars from your hardworking so called hating racist neighbors, then you are not worth it. But it is always funny. for when I see riots anywhere there are always smiles and not despair. Even the catastrophes like Katrina began the same way. A couple of days later they were killing each other after the moron mayor and governor let them to fend for themselves.

1) Pau Gasol is absolutely phenomenal: He played 42 and 44 minutes in Games One and Two against a rugged Nuggets front line that had beaten the hoo-ha out of the Mavericks' and Hornets' big men.
The result?
Gasol grabbed game-high rebound totals of 14 and 17, almost as many as Nene, Kenyon Martin and Chris Andersen added together (34). Not only that, 11 of those 31 were offensive rebounds, which is extremely valuable to a team that has a trigger-happy star who sees nothing but green lights on offense (Kobe has taken 48 shots).
Not only has Gasol controlled the glass and given the Lakers an advantage where they could have easily been outdone (LA has 89 rebounds to the Nuggets' 79), the ugly Spaniard has been efficient on the offensive side. He's connected on 10 of 17 shots, just about matching the 55% he's shooting this postseason. Gasol has also blocked 4 shots and passed out of double teams for 6 assists.
Despite the series heading to Denver tied at one game apiece, if he continues his playoff dominance in the paint (18.0 points, 11.4 rebounds) and can neutralize Denver's front line, his Lakers teammates will have it that much easier the rest of the series.

2) Orlando knows how to play the risk-reward game of 3-point shooting: Hitting 9 of 20 (45%) trifectas in Game One was absolutely crucial in coming back from a 15-point halftime hole to shock the Cavaliers 107-106. This postseason, the Magic are 2-3 in the 5 games they shot under 30% from long range, and both wins were at home. When Rashard Lewis, Hedo Turkoglu, Mickael Pietrus and the gang ring up 30% or more from deep, Orlando is 7-2, with both loses coming on the road.
The heights of this trio read like an anchored-in-the-paint front line (6-foot-10, 6-foot-10, 6-foot-6), so it's tough for Delonte West (6-foot-3) and Mo Williams (6-foot-1) to make a defensive impact against the three-ball. If the Magic continue to shoot over the Cavs, this series may go longer than expected.
3) Benches can win or lose these series: Each of the four teams have a superstar or two in their starting lineups, but they have to rest at some point. Los Angeles' bench chipped in 27 points, 13 boards and 10 assists in 79 minutes during their Game One victory. Denver's bench only accumulated 16 points, 12 rebounds, and 7 assists in 66 minutes.
Their contributions were much greater in Game Two, scoring 21 points and snaring 16 boards in 72 minutes (thanks in large part to Linas "Brickhouse" Kleiza's 16 and 8), while the Lakers' reserves picked up 22 and 15 in 78. In the East, Orlando's non-starters outscored Cleveland's 25 to 5, including 3 for 7 from deep. With as close as both series have been, the bench play could be the vital difference between a 2-point win or a 2-point loss.

While the lame stream media is going nuts over Tony Hayward attending a Yacht race in England (which I really don't blame them too much for), have you heard a word about Obama's activities? Probably not. Last night he decided to go to a Washington Nationals baseball game. Who were they playing? His beloved hometown Chicago White Sox. I doubt he really cared that Stephen Strasburg on the mound for the Nationals. The Washington Post did cover this story and as usual continued to keep their lips firmly placed on his backside. Check out how Alexa Steele described things:
After hunkering down for several weeks to deal with the oil spill, President Obama finally made it out of the house for some fun – and showed up at the Nationals game on Friday night.
Hunkering down? Maybe Steele means hunkering down on the GOLF instead of the Gulf. Today Obama decided to hit the links (again) with the dumbest Vice President in U.S. history Joe Biden. According to The Hill, The White House pool report noted that Obama left at about 1 p.m. for the course at Andrews Air Force base, and his golfing partners included White House Trip Director Marvin Nicholson and photographer David Katz.
Nicholson and Katz, along with Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, joined Obama for four hours of golf last weekend. The Republican National Committee released an ad soon afterward taking aim at Obama's golfing during the ongoing BP oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.
Oh, and The Hill who usually is pretty good about no liberal bias also noted the weather conditions for his Gulf, err Golf outing, and mentioned that:
Obama attended the Washington Nationals game Friday night wearing a cap for his hometown Chicago White Sox. Sources told the pool reporter that Obama sang "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and left in the ninth inning, before the White Sox edged out the Nationals 2-1 in the 11th.
Isn't that cute?

U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson's ruling that forcing people to buy health insurance (or pay a fine) is unconstitutional may be the death knell for President Barack Obama's plan to cover the nation's uninsured.
Talk about literal interpretation of the Constitution. Had the health-care law used different words and levied a tax (equal to the fine) on all Americans and provided a tax credit (equal to the fine) for those with health-care coverage, nothing of substance would have changed, and the judge would have had no objection.
It's a sad legal system that confuses linguistics for principle. But adherence to original language may trump concern for original intent, even on appeal to the Supreme Court. If it doesn't, Republicans in the House have a fail-safe plan to derail the law's implementation: Block the program's funding.
If you're pleased by this prospect, think again. You or your loved ones may be next to join the ranks of the 50 million uninsured and learn firsthand that self-insurance doesn't substitute for actual insurance when it comes to paying potentially astronomical health-care bills.
Don't get me wrong. I think Obamacare is a third-best answer to our health-care woes. It adds another expensive entitlement -- federally subsidized health exchanges, with no solid cost controls -- to Uncle Sam's continually skyrocketing Medicare and Medicaid obligations. Moreover, given the way the health-exchange subsidies and employer fines are structured, the law will likely lead to the unraveling of employer-based health care, leaving the government paying the bills of the entire population.
Universal care is essential
Our government is heavily involved in health care -- paying 60 cents of each dollar -- for good reason. Left on their own, the private insurers will cherry-pick the healthy and charge astronomical premiums for those with pre-existing conditions. This is why one in six Americans is uninsured.
Call our system "socialized medicine," "subsidized medicine," or something else. It doesn't matter. Whether we are blue, red or purple, we agree that everyone needs a basic health plan, that everyone who can pay for health insurance should pay, and that those with bad genes or bad luck (that is, pre-existing conditions), as opposed to persistent bad habits, shouldn't face higher insurance costs.
We want universal health insurance. What we don't want is inefficient and unaffordable universal health insurance. Obamacare delivers both, which explains its reception.
If the health-care law is killed by the courts or Congress, its opponents will celebrate a Pyrrhic victory. They'll defeat something they don't like but leave us all in the lurch -- at risk of losing our lives or our shirts if we get sick while uninsured.
Defeating the new health-care law can represent a real victory only if we replace it and our entire health-care system with something that insures us all at reasonable cost.
The Medical Security System
The Medical Security System, which I proposed in my 2007 book, "The Healthcare Fix," is what's needed. Every American -- rich, poor, old, young, sick or healthy -- gets a voucher, each year, to buy a basic health plan from an insurance company.
Vouchers are larger for those with pre-existing conditions. Insurers can turn no one down and will offer us financial incentives to stop smoking, lose weight, or otherwise improve our health.
A panel of doctors determines what's covered by the basic plan within a strict budget. Those who want additional coverage may buy private supplemental policies. The vouchers, in total, can't cost more than 10 percent of GDP -- what we are now spending. We would finance this system not by raising taxes but by using the tax dollars we are now spending at all levels of government on Medicare, Medicaid, employer-based health care and the uninsured. This combines public health-care finance (all who can pay do pay through their taxes) with private health-care provision. Private insurers contract with the doctors and hospitals we choose for our care.
This took two paragraphs, not 2,000 pages, to describe. It's not pie in the sky. Something similar is in place in Germany, The Netherlands, Switzerland and Israel. It's already implemented in Medicare Part C -- the red part of the blue Medicare system. And it's what former Clinton Budget Director Alice Rivlin and the next House Budget Committee chairman, Republican Paul Ryan, just proposed as a long-term fix for Medicare.
It's time to look beyond the words and focus on the substance of what we have, what we need, what we can afford, and what must be done. Obamacare is also short for "Obama cares," and because our president cares more about the nation than himself, he's just the man to transform his defeat into our victory.

A better health care plan

05 Grand Cherokee Limited Window Issue
Hey guys I am a new member to this site but have been reading the forums for a while so I figured it was time to join. I bought a 2005 Grand Cherokee Limited last November and I love it except I've been having some trouble with the front windows. It seems to me when I drive on the highway (70 MPH+) and its really windy outside that it sounds like the front windows are slightly open. You don't feel any air coming in so they are not actually open but it just sounds like it. It almost feels like they are not closing all the way or that there is an air leak in the seals. The weird part is that it only does it sometimes not all the time. I noticed it happens a lot more often when I drive faster 80MPH+. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem or have heard of it. I was thinking of possibly replacing all the seals around the door and windows but I'm not positive its that. There are no water leaks either when you go through a car wash. It usually doesn't bother me too much because I just turn up the radio but when you drive for a long period of time it gets kind of annoying. The windier it is outside the louder it is from what I noticed. Any of your inputs would be appreciated! :)
Re: 05 Grand Cherokee Limited Window Issue
maybe buy just one seal and see if it helps. rubber does shrink and stiffen over time........
Re: 05 Grand Cherokee Limited Window Issue
If you have access to a FSM (Factory Service Manual), I bet there is some adjustment from within the door (sometimes they have a minor screw at the top of the outside of the door, after you pull down the big rubber piece at the end (not sure on this one though). [EDIT - I went outside to look at it and it does not have the rubber piece I am talking about, but did notice there is a round, black sticker on every door covering a hole, near the latch, although no idea if it's for the window track adjustment...Surely somebody here has a manual and can take a look]
I like to use silicone lubricat (although a grease works better) on my rubber weatherstripping to keep it supple, but those little wind noise issues are maddening and glad this one doesn't have it yet (my 06 GTO did (wasn't supposed to, but needed adjustment) and it drove me nuts).
Re: 05 Grand Cherokee Limited Window Issue
So to I looked a little more into the seals and I noticed this huge tear in them that I must have missed before. I called the dealer to get a replacement part and found out it costs $60 for the new seal. Anyone know if there are other places to get it that is cheaper or is that my only option? I hope that just replacing this piece will make the wind noise stop, its driving me crazy.
Also what type of grease do you put on the rubber that you were talking about? Does any type work? I wanted to do it to all the rest of doors so the rest of the seals last longer.
Thanks for the help
Re: 05 Grand Cherokee Limited Window Issue
this 3m stuff works good, although not sure the best place to buy it and I'm sure you could find it in a good auto parts store (not one of the chains so much).
I just use silicone spray lubricant but the grease would be best...GM makes some stuff too and would imagine chrysler must list something in the owner's manual, etc. (for a mopar #)
Re: 05 Grand Cherokee Limited Window Issue
were you able to get rid of that wind noise issue, I'm having the same issue with my 08 but the weather strips on mine are in perfect condition.

text: I just had to report that my blooming mounds of (Walker's Low) catmint are just being mobbed by bumblebees day after day. There is a bumble just about every 8" working away, and this goes on all day long day after day. Never saw so many bumblebees working so closely together! The catmint is a real winner in my new pollinater flowerbed.

I'm new and need help understanding the shoulder & neck shaping on the back of a men's v-neck vest. I've completed the back & armhole shaping and am stuck on the next set of instructions for the shoulder & neck shaping. The instructions say to bind off 8 sts at the shoulder edge and work to the marker. Then I'm supposed to join a new ball of yarn and bind off the center 35 sts and work the remaining sts (to the end of the row). Why, how & where am I supposed to join the new ball of yarn? Then I'm supposed to work both sides separately but at the same time by binding off 8 sts at the shoulder edge and dec 2 sts at each neck edge 3 times. I understand how to do the stitches, but I'm confused by the yarn joining and working both sides "separately and at the same time". Can anyone clarify these instructions for me? I found a similar post, but it doesn't address the yarn joining. I'm trying to finish this for my dad before the holidays, so anyone help would be greatly appreciated!!!
You will join the yarn for the centre stitches so that they can then be bound off but your yarn will be in the correct place to create the second shoulder. This is done in the same manner that you would join a ball of yarn for any part of a pattern when it is needed. Be sure to leave enough of the tail for weaving in later.
You have the option of either working both sides at the same time with both balls of yarn or you can work one side and then the other - the choice is yours.
The shaping that you do for one shoulder will be the opposite of what you will do for the second so that they match.
Thanks!!! That clarifies it for me now. You're a life-saver!
