CNN again raised issue of tax records without noting that McCain has not released his
Research ››› ››› ANDREW WALZER
On CNN's The Situation Room, Brian Todd reported that each presidential candidate "is under more pressure now to release" different types of information, stating that "[f]or [Sen.] Hillary Clinton, it's those elusive tax records." But Todd did not mention that Sen. John McCain has yet to release his tax returns.
On the March 6 edition of CNN's The Situation Room, correspondent Brian Todd reported on accusations that the presidential candidates are withholding information, but while mentioning Sen. Hillary Clinton's tax returns, Todd did not note that Sen. John McCain, like Clinton, has yet to release his tax returns. The Wall Street Journal reported on February 23 that McCain "hasn't released his tax returns either. His campaign has said it won't decide whether to release the returns until after he is officially the nominee."
While introducing Todd's report, host Wolf Blitzer stated, "They attack each other over full disclosure, but it turns out each of the Democratic candidates is accused of withholding some information, information people want to know more about." In his introduction, Blitzer did not mention McCain, who has also been accused of withholding information "people want to know more about." A February 27 Washington Post editorial noted that McCain has "so far refused" to release his returns, adding, "Most troubling, Mr. McCain isn't even pledging to release his returns once he becomes the nominee."
Following Blitzer's introduction, Todd stated: "Well, Wolf, from tax information to medical records, some information has come out in drips and drabs, and some hasn't come out much at all. But each candidate is under more pressure now to release what they've got." Todd stated during his report, "For Hillary Clinton, it's those elusive tax records," and aired a video clip of Clinton saying, "I will certainly, you know, work toward releasing, and we will get that done and in the public domain." Todd then said, "For John McCain, it's his melanoma surgery several years ago," but Todd did not mention that McCain has not released his tax records.
As Media Matters for America noted, on the February 28 Situation Room, commentator Jack Cafferty similarly did not mention McCain's failure to release his filings, saying: "There's a lot of information that voters still don't have about Hillary Clinton, including the White House records from when she was first lady and her tax returns." Moments later, Cafferty added: "As for the tax returns, Hillary Clinton also said at the debate that she would release them once she becomes the nominee or, quote, 'even earlier,' unquote, but her campaign seems to be backing away from that statement now, suggesting that Clinton won't release the financial information until tax time in April." Cafferty later asked viewers to respond to the question: "How important is it for Hillary Clinton to release her tax returns and White House records now?"
Media Matters has documented other examples of media figures noting that Clinton has not released her tax returns without mentioning that McCain also has not done so.
From the March 11 edition of CNN's The Situation Room:
BLITZER: All right, Soledad, thanks. A lot more numbers coming up; I know you and your team are crunching those numbers all the time.
They attack each other over full disclosure, but it turns out each of the Democratic candidates is accused of withholding some information, information people want to know more about. Let's go back to Brian Todd. He's watching this part of the story for us. What's the information, Brian, in question?
TODD: Well, Wolf, from tax information to medical records, some information has come out in drips and drabs, and some hasn't come out much at all. But each candidate is under more pressure now to release what they've got.
[begin video clip]
TODD: For Barack Obama, it's his dealings with indicted former fundraiser Tony Rezko.
OBAMA: The notion that we haven't been forthcoming I would dispute.
TODD: For Hillary Clinton, it's those elusive tax records.
CLINTON: I will certainly, you know, work toward releasing, and we will get that done and in the public domain.
TODD: For John McCain, it's his melanoma surgery several years ago.
Each major candidate now under extraordinary pressure to be more forthcoming about at least one aspect of their past. A USA Today op-ed says, "[V]oters aren't getting all the information they need to make informed choices." The campaigns all dispute that.
Senator Clinton's promised to release her tax records next month -- same general time frame for McCain and his medical file. Obama and his advisers say they've answered all questions about the candidate's relationship with Rezko as they've come up.
Some information, like medical and tax records, is often released after a nominee is selected. But with the Democratic race still so tight, some observers say now is the time for all White House hopefuls to get it all out there.
MARK HALPERIN (Time magazine senior political analyst): Things like taxes, medical records, your real estate transactions have become controversial. Those things are generally revealed, and candidates who don't reveal them potentially face a price with voters.
[end video clip]
TODD: Now, this is certainly not the first time issues like this have come up in campaigns. Bill and Hillary Clinton released some of the information on their Whitewater land deal during the 1992 campaign, and that, of course, came back to hit them later -- Wolf.
BLITZER: Brian Todd, thanks very much for that.
He's battled cancer and he's come out on top, but what does his latest medical checkup tell us about the health of the presidential candidate John McCain? Dr. Sanjay Gupta standing by.

How To: Potatoes Two Ways | KCET
How To: Potatoes Two Ways
Recipes for mashed potatoes -- from fluffy to creamy, and about every shade in between -- typically rely heavily on the addition of fat. But the truth is, choosing the right potato for the job carries more weight than how much dairy you use. For this episode, I picked fingerlings (low starch, buttery texture) for creamy mashed potatoes, and small Yukon Golds (an all-purpose potato, good for just about any application) for olive oil-crushed potatoes. For the mash, I'll skip the cream and instead go for a combination of milk and butter; cream overwhelms and tends to make everything taste like ... well, cream, whereas milk and butter act as a vehicle for the potato-y flavor. And for the olive oil-crushed potatoes, I like a tiny bit of butter to add richness, though it can be omitted if you prefer.
Mashed Potatoes
Serves 4
1 lb potatoes (try using Yukon Golds or Yellow Finns for creamy; Russets for fluffy; French Fingerlings for in between)
4 oz. (or more) butter
4 oz. whole milk
salt to taste
seasonings, optional (think chopped fresh thyme, freshly ground black pepper, roasted garlic, parmesan cheese, etc.)
Peel the potatoes and cut them relatively the same size, about 2 inch chunks. Put them in a large sauce pot and cover with water. Season the cooking water with salt (about 1/4 cup salt per 2 quarts water). Over high heat, bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. After 15 or so minutes, check the doneness by either stabbing one with a small knife, or picking one up with a spoon and squeezing it (it should crumble when pressed). Once cooked, drain the potatoes using a colander, and let them cool and steam just until you're able to handle them. While the potatoes are still warm, process the potatoes using a potato ricer, box grater, or food mill set over a bowl or piece of parchment paper. Melt the butter in a large sauce pot over medium heat, then transfer the potatoes into the pot. Add the milk, whisk thoroughly to combine until smooth, and add additional milk or butter if desired. Season with salt and other seasonings if using. Serve immediately.

Olive Oil-Crushed Potatoes
Serves 4
1 lb. potatoes (try using German Butterballs, French Fingerlings, or Yukon Golds)
1 bunch chives, chopped very finely
2-3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
4 oz. extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp butter
salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper
Put the potatoes in a large sauce pot, and add enough water to cover the potatoes and then some. Season the water with salt (about 1/2 cup salt per 2 quarts water). Over high heat, bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. After 15 or so minutes, check the doneness by either stabbing one with a small knife, or picking one up with a spoon and squeezing it (it should feel soft all the way through). Once cooked, drain the potatoes with a colander, and transfer to a baking sheet or large container. Let the potatoes cool to room temperature, then transfer to the fridge to finish cooling. Once the potatoes are cooled all the way through, peel the potatoes. Take the potatoes one by one and crush them first with the palm of your hand. Then use a fork to completely and uniformly crush the potatoes. In a large pan, heat the olive oil, butter, and garlic. Once the butter starts to foam, add the potatoes and stir with a spatula or spoon to incorporate the olive oil. Add the chives and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

Supporting Examples for Instant Lottery
Beauty Product Giveaway
For the August 2010 issue of Allure Magazine, readers were given a total of $725,000 in free beauty products through a series of mini-sweepstakes. Readers who had signed up for the US fashion publication's contests were notified by text message 15 minutes before new giveaways were about to take place. At this point, they opened the magazine and entered by simply scanning a Microsoft Tag on a specified page. The use of mobile tags reportedly attributed to a 28% increase in entries over the previous year's issue.
Point of Sale Contest
When Wilkinson Sword launched their new Hydro Razor 5 in the UK, they featured mobile tags alongside the retail product displays. By scanning a QR code on a POS promotional flyer, shoppers were able to visit a site where they could view videos highlighting the razor's new features and enter a competition.
Scan Enters Fans Into Ticket Giveaway
Independent record label Fearless Records published Microsoft Tags to help fans win tickets for their bands' shows. Printed fliers and websites advertising upcoming shows invited fans to scan the tags to receive a free track download and also get entered into a drawing for tickets.

QUESTION: I am hoping you might have a solution for getting rid of a burnt popcorn smell in a microwave oven. I have tried lemon juice, vinegar, baking soda, and even microwaving meat with a barbeque sauce on it, hoping to get rid of the smell. If I leave lemon juice and water in it with the door open, it almost disappears. But as soon as I microwave even lemon juice in water, the smoke smell predominates.
This smell came while heating up a "bed buddy," which contains grain for use on my sore joints. I have used this item for years, heating in the microwave on high for three minutes as the directions say, with never any problem. I am not sure what happened this time, but I heard a pop, and when I got to the microwave, smoke and a terrible smell was coming from the oven. There was even a burn hole in the material with lots of smoke coming out of it.
I have been working on getting rid of this smell for two weeks now. I have even washed the microwave oven inside and out with dish soap. I don't want to use anything that might be toxic to food. The microwave is not freestanding. It is boxed in against a wall over a built-in oven. Marian (Winnipeg)
ANSWER: In order to offer the safest advice available to us, I turned to a microwave manufacture. I want to share a quote I took from the General Electric website: "The popping noise is electrical or mechanical in sound, and GE recommends contacting service. If the arcing burned a hole through the cavity wall, the damage is non-repairable. You can continue to safely use the microwave if the hole is equal to or smaller than the hole size that you see on the door screen and additional arcing is not occurring during the cooking cycle. If the hole is larger than this, it is recommended that the microwave be replaced."
Sounds like the smell is coming from the microwave mechanics, which is why the odor returns even after the box of the microwave is treated. Safety is definitely an issue.
QUESTION: I would like to know if you have any suggestions to get rid of some oil spots on my paving-stone driveway? Please and thanks. Judy (Winnipeg)
ANSWER: The fresher the oil stain, the easier it is to remove. For new oil stains, cover the area with cheap kitty litter or diatomaceous earth. Leave for three hours or more and then sweep. For older stains, begin by purchasing degreaser. Cover the area with degreaser and scrub with a brush, making sure the entire grease stain is covered. Another option is to pour hot water onto stones and scrub with dish soap such as Simple Green. Leave for 10 minutes. Do not allow dish soap to sit on paving stones for an extended period of time. Scrub with a stiff brush and rinse. Caution: Do not use muriatic acid on paving stones; it is too strong and may damage the stones.
QUESTION: I was at a garage sale the other day and wanted to purchase a chair for my home. I did not have a measuring tape on hand. What else could I have used to figure out the size of the chair? Maurice (Otterburne)
ANSWER: Here are a few bits of trivia you need to know (if you don't already). On most adults, the length from the tip of your thumb to your first knuckle is one inch. Since you were at a garage sale and probably had some cash on hand, you could have used the length of paper money to measure the chair because Canadian paper currency is six inches long. Lastly, take a moment to measure the span of your hand (in case you are ever stranded on a desert island, this may come in handy). The average adult hand span measures eight inches.

Private front yard: After
The pair of 6-foot-tall concrete walls that now enclose the front yard shelter an outdoor dining area. The dining alcove was placed here because this spot is west-facing, and warm and sunny is a good thing in the home's chilly, coastal climate. The staggered walls provide room for generous planting pockets for green and burgundy foliage plants.

I've posted something a while ago asking about my rescue, but as she has grown, I'm confused, the shelter was thinking GS/lab, but I see no lab in her, infact I see no mix in her at all,

I would agree with the shelter. I've seen lab/GSD mixes and this looks a lot like them. The ears also look like a labs to me. Defiantly not a pure bred GSD. Still very cute though!

I had a rottie x gsd foster puppy. His ears stood part way when he was full grown. He was between 80 and 90 pounds.
My dog Chama was a rottie mix. She was only 70 pounds full grown.
Your pup could have more than two breeds in the mix. One parent could have been pb and the other a mutt.
It is probably still too early to tell. She looks very similar to my pup that I got in June of 2013. I made this collage to show you how much my girl has changed and how very different she looks now. First pic is around 9-11 weeks, the 2nd pic I think is around 4 months, the pic with her ears up is pretty recent, maybe 7 months? And the last pic is from a couple of weeks ago. She is 8 months now. My girl is also a rescue, so her father is a bit of a mystery, but she has grown and changed so much since I first adopted her. Enjoy all the growing and transformations! :)

Rowan University Art Gallery
Building Structures
Opening Reception: Thursday, January 26th 5:00-7:00pm
Installation views of the exhibition
Building Structures explores the home from the perspective of the physical barrier that separates the private from the public realm through variations on the simple materials used to fabricate and decorate housing units such as bricks, siding, wallpaper, paint, and wood. The diverse projects of three artists: Diane Carr, Sara Eichner, and Jim Osman transmute these commonplace materials, both physically and visually, into installations, paintings, drawings, and sculpture. These artworks reconsider the usual function of these ubiquitous supplies as structure and support and recast them as metaphors for the experience of transitioning from the private, inner space of the home to the public domain outside the walls. The artists included in Building Structures balance these opposing concerns of public/private by creating projects that meld mass-produced mundane materials into soulful, playful art that is painstakingly arranged, built or lovingly hand-crafted.
In her playful, witty, and sly site-specific installations, Diane Carr employs generic materials, such as foamcore and brown lunch bags, and a heightened color palette to create semblances and parodies of real, dense objects such as wall siding and bricks. She aligns her art closer to the mindset of interior decoration as she plays with a hot, heightened color palette that thrusts these projects out of the realm of pure object into the space of whimsy and imagination.
Diane Carr received her MA in Fine Arts from SVA in New York City and has exhibited in venues on both the east and west coasts that include the Dumbo Arts Center, Brooklyn, NY, Islip Art Museum, Islip, NY, and the Soil Art Gallery, Seattle, WA.
The obsessive, optical paintings of Sara Eichner consist of endlessly repetitive patterns of building materials such as bricks, siding, and shingles. The artist first maps out her compositions on the computer and then laboriously transfers these designs onto her surface. Eichner's paintings are rooted in real objects, but through offbeat color choices such as powder blue, pink, and acidic green and by a deft use of perspective and vector, she transcends the mundane and allows her work to indulge in fantasy.
Sara Eichner received her MA in painting from Syracuse University and has exhibited in New York, New Haven, and Philadelphia.
The artistry of Jim Osman combines interests in flat versus dimensional space, painting, sculpture, and functional objects all found in the home. His sculptural work is neither pure sculpture nor pure object, but a blending of both with decoration, painting, and design added as well. The artist created a site-specific wall painting Wall.Box.Field, for this exhibition. It incorporates painterly and design elements through color as well as three-dimensional objects set into the painting and out into the viewing space.
Jim Osman has a BA and MA in sculpture and drawing from Queens College, NY. He has completed recent site-specific projects at the University of Texas, San Antonio and the Brooklyn Museum of Art for their recent Open House survey of Brooklyn artists.

Pfizer boss Ian Read today admitted for the first time that he would slash the annual $12 billion (£7.1 billion) research spending by the US drugmaker and its target AstraZeneca if it succeeds in Britain's biggest foreign takeover.
Read and his opposite number at Astra, Pascal Soriot, were questioned by the Commons Business, Innovation and Skills Committee, whose Labour chairman Adrian Bailey demanded of job-slashing Pfizer: "What can you say to convince that this particular leopard has changed its spots?"
Read, who has offered £63 billion to snare Astra, refused to grow riled in the face of aggressive questioning from Bailey and his fellow MPs, who said Pfizer was known as a "praying mantis" and a "shark that needs feeding".
But he did concede on R&D: "I do not expect the combined total would be the same. It will be lower."
Pfizer's Scottish-born chief executive also confirmed the takeover was tax-driven. The drugmaker wants to move its tax base to the UK, which has lower corporation tax than the US, and said without that benefit, "it would change the price we would be willing to pay".
Read said intervention from UK politicians would not stop the deal going ahead, adding that Pfizer would "operate within the appropriate laws of UK".
Pfizer has written to Prime Minister David Cameron, pledging that 20% of research jobs would stay in the UK for five years. But Read warned: "I can't make any commitment about spending country by country right now. Once the deal is completed, we will look at potential spend and decide where's best for science. I am not sitting here saying we will become more efficient without some cuts in jobs".
Earlier in the hearing, Tony Burke of the Unite union said Pfizer had been unwilling to engage with unions when it began winding down its facility in Sandwich, Kent. Read did admit that, despite several rounds of talks with City investors and the Government, Pfizer had not spoken to Astra staff. Asked what he meant by promising to keep a "substantial" number of Astra's 2000 jobs in Macclesfield, Cheshire, Read would not give a number, saying "you know what substantial means" before insisting: "I'm a man of my word."
Soriot warned the committee that a merger could delay potentially life-saving treatments: "What will we tell the person whose father died from lung cancer because one of our medicines was delayed — and essentially was delayed because in the meantime our two companies were involved in saving tax and saving costs?"
Business Secretary Vince Cable told the committee that Pfizer's pledges so far were a "basis for negotiation", and the research jobs commitment was a "starting point for discussion".Reuse content

I changed my data usage date about a month ago, and I realized that I set it to the wrong date. I went back to go try to change it today, but now there isn't the option to change it in the drop down box.
Is there any suggestions I can do to change my data usage dates or work around it?
Thanks in advance,

Salomon Powerlace Pro lacing problem
I just bought a pair of Salomon Ivys and i think that the lacing system is broken...it uses the "powerlace pro" system and I cant get it to lock in on one boot..i think one of the snaps isnt right because is doesnt go down when the lace moves over it..does any one know how i could get this fixed? or should i just return the boots? the picture im attaching shows how one of the pink "snaps?" is lower than the other one and it doesnt move
Sadly my gear is packed away at my parent's place other wise I'd check for you. See if you can run over to the shop and check if this is the case for similar/other boots using the same lacing system. Otherwise, just get them exchanged.
Return them if you can. Something is wrong with that. I have two pairs of F22s and all four of my boots, the lace catches are even. I bet something is wrong with the spring mechanism.
There you go.
Yeah get them exchanged or have that piece replaced. It looks like a couple of screws are what hold it in place so it shouldn't be too big of deal.
so i ended up returning them, but they were the last pair so i ended up just getting a pair of F20s instead for only 20bucks more. all of this was done online so now i just have to hope that these fit just as well as the ivys :/ kinda bummed but thats what i get for having a foot size that stores dont carry -_- thanks everyone!

Wayne McMullen's Aug. 21 letter states he's independent. This and past letters implies definite Republican. Perhaps he's in between with third parties.
Decades ago, a choice started for unions or new disease corporate greed. Where did this weird notion unions controlled Ohio vs. voters evolve? Kasich, no way deserves another term. Where's the middle class tax cuts no one can find? Taking credit for jobs returning, but no word on how, like he had no connection. Plus, a lot are low-paying. Corporations are bringing back enough for reelection, with Kasich supporting the wealthy.
You managed to slip in that ObamaCare isn't working. The feds, not Kasich, are pushing Medicaid. ObamaCare's failing, thanks to congressional Republicans raising rates etc. Quote Obama "I guess it's better than nothing." He's for what Congress destroyed.
You obviously had a cushy job with security. You needed to sweat blood like thousands of non-union workers. Here's a few examples you think are fine. You have sympathy. First, a woman with cancer was given two weeks for radiation and chemo or be fired. Second, a woman used all sick days and vacation for surgery. No warning, fired. Third, a man had to work with influenza. Was a little dazed and didn't hear a man at first. He was turned in for sleeping. Don't return.
Columbus laws changed so I can't get proper medicine to get a part-time job I need. Two corporations were willing to let me die. Giant thank yous to Dr. Jaroch, Joel Pomerene and Sycamore Run for saving my life.
Unions have minor drawbacks, but supporting greed is anti-American and anti-Christian. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. I guess you haven't noticed going shopping, product amounts are lowered and inflation is a disaster.
More thank yous to the fine nurses and aides at both Pomerene and Sycamore Run. Numerous nurses and aides (Pomerene) even signed a get well card I received at Sycamore Run.
Thank you Holmes-Wayne Electric for clean-up. Thanks Kevin Miller for french drain repair. It's fantastic to have a grandson mowing the grass now that I can't. I also want to wish Brian great success in opening his new business, Brian's Barber Shop in Millersburg. I also appreciate getting printed, thank you Daily Record.

I suggest Bbergin tell the 343 Union firefighters killed risking their lives to save people at the Towers that they were overpaid and lazy. Maybe you could go to the 9/11 ceremony and bash these Union firefighters. But I doubt you would go you probably like the Ted Nugent concert and support the scammers like Nugent who got out of Vietnam. I would like to thank the Unions for their overall support of Veterans and their issues. Thanks Unions for your support of the Vietnam Memorial. Veterans who are Union workers fought for their Country so guys like Bbergin can run off at the mouth.
Just teabagger insisting everyone makes an anti-union poverty wage.
Did the union auto worker's caught on tape drinking while on lunch have any punishment from the plant they worked in? Nope,the union punishes those who do wrong,but these men,caught drinking and smokig pot,had no punishment handed down. Does anyone wonder why GM has recalled more vehicles this year than they manufactured?
Just an angry white male wanting everyone making an anti-union Walmart wage.
Yea Buzz...the unions are really making their way back. I think the VW vote in Tennessee is proof (not) of what you say, right? Unions breed high costs and lazy workers. I used to travel to union automobile manufacturers. There was ALWAYS an "I don't have to do that" mentality. So, making $25 or $30 an hour, union auto workers, just as an example here, would sit on their lazy *** if they spilled something or if it leaked on the floor from a vehicle, waiting up to 30 minutes for a janitor to come. I also seen some of the bums come around where I worked when Rubbermaid closed....they didn't last 2 weeks cause they were lazy with a typical union mindset: "pay me a lot but I'll do very little for it". There's a good reason union membership is lower than it used to be - 20% in 1983, 11% in 2013......hopefully it continues to go down. Buzz has his own facts ya know....
Just teabagger demanding more unsustainable fossil fuels.
"Here in Indiana, and in many states throughout the union, we rely on coal to power our homes and provide good-paying, middle class jobs...unfortunately, the current administration is waging a war on this reliable, affordable source of energy and the countless jobs it supports - this is one example of many, where policies coming from Washington DC just don't make sense...this administration's policies continue to harm our nation's economy ... there are over forty jobs bills that have passed the House, but have not been acted on by the Senate."
Indiana Congresssman, Larry Buchson - August 30, 2014
"Get to work, Harry Reid"
There are Christian denominations that welcome lgbts. There are denominations that condemn them to **** while professing their love. There are denominations who decided it was a 'lifestyle choice' that can be changed as a way to save them from ****. There are literally thousands of denominations, so good luck being a lgbt and finding one that is accepting without condemnation.
Try to stay away from eino's. We know he has his fixation about "eating bologna in the bushes."
Cherry picking xians. The mythological Christian god calls gays an abomination and prescribes bloody death. Levi 18:22 & 20:13.
I understand the need for Christians to distance themselves from their deity's earlier incorrect and immoral position of gay killer. At this point if they don't evolve Obama-style the attendance bleeding will only start to hemorrhage.
"What baffles me is that the gay community paints the Christian community to be some sort of intolerant, impatient and discriminatory group of maniacs that violently reject anyone who doesn't believe like they believe.
The gay community portrays themselves to be a people for all people — whatever your orientation, skin color, beliefs may be. They promise to exercise unconditional tolerance, love and support to all.
However, a change in my spiritual beliefs provoked a change in their supposed character as a community as well ... my local gay community cut themselves off from me as soon as they learned that my new, biblical sexual ethic was opposed to the behaviors that they partook in ...
When I left their belief system, the gay community (at large… but not every single gay person) not only rejected me as a person, but has since demonized and ridiculed me for my holding and expressing my biblical beliefs.
Yet the Christian community, even when my belief system was opposed to theirs, loved me, accepted me and invested their lives into mine. When I thought about leaving them – and expressed that angrily at times– they didn't threaten me or react angrily in return. They loved me still."
Excerpted from the Matt Moore blog - August 28, 2014
Full article -The Truest Love: A Comparison of the Gay and Christian Communities.
Obamacare is working fine. Nothing the republicans predicted came to pass. Prices did not skyrocket, they barely moved or went down.
Union strength is a straw man republicans complain about. Too bad, they made the middle class what it used to be.
The rich and their toadies teabagger must make unions to be the enemy. With a union in place the working man can speak with one voice and bargain for better compensation. Unions are starting a revival as corporate greed and income disparity are out of control. The only ones who want to continue on this unsustainable path of corporate greed and poverty wages is elderly teabagger.
Shout out to all your peeps after you tell Wayne how wrong he is.

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Gary Washburn of Boston.com reports that Rajon Rondo could be the starting point guard for the star-studded team USA this year. Rondo started in the USA's blowout over France, an 86-55 win, and looks like he could be in a prime position to make the starting five in this year's FIBA World Championship. The team is deep at the point guard position with a caliber of players such as Russell Westbrook, Chris Paul, and Deron Williams, so even a start in one game would be huge for Rajon's credibility.
Rajon Rondo could end up sharing the backcourt with another point guard, because there are so many on this team, but a viable option seems to be either Dwayne Wade or Chauncey Billups. Both Wade and Billups are "shoot first" point guards when they play the position, for the most part, so it would make sense to have them play the shooting guard position with Rondo on the floor. Rondo is a distributor before anything else, so his sleek passing paired with the scoring threat of either Wade or Billups could make for an excellent show from Team USA's backcourt. Pair that with the supporting cast of big men on the squad, and this team is just about ready to explode, at least on the offensive end.
Even with the talent already implanted in this year's USA team, the starting nod to Rondo has good things written all over it. Team USA needs a true point guard to lead it's team the right way. It doesn't matter how many scorers are on the floor if there's nobody to get them the ball. Rondo can, and hopefully will, be that guy. If this happens, it will probably silence any Rondo critics, if there are any left, and show everyone that he's the real deal. This is his chance to prove to the world that he can lead a basketball team at any level. Boston isn't solely Rondo's team just yet, but being the starting point guard for team USA would just be one more reason to believe he's ready to take the reigns when the time comes.
Tags: Celtics, point guard, Rajon Rondo, team USA
Another wonderful job!!!!
I think he is the right pick for the starting postion on the USA team.
Good article!

Description: This parts kit allows you to modify a coolant hose into an additional hand for your SparkFun Third Hand. It includes the alligator clips and hardware necessary to repair a broken hand, or make a new one.
Note: A portion of this sale is given to Ryan for inspiring the design with his Instructable.
Ditto that. I ended up just taking the one that fit properly to my local ACE Hardware and found another one that had the matching thread pattern. I think it cost me about 30 cents. YMMV
Has anyone else gotten these and found the two machine screws to be non matching? I got two packs and each had one right size and one smaller diameter screw.
Yes, it happened to me too.
Better than me, both the screws in my pack seem too small to fit the alligator clips.
Based on 6 ratings:
2 of 2 found this helpful:
They work perfectly with the coolant tubes in the third hand kit, I only wish that the alligator clips were a bit bigger to accommodate holding PCBs and larger components.
2 of 2 found this helpful:
The clips are a bit on the flimsy side - they bend very easily at the wrist. Slightly bigger and stronger would make them more useful. At the moment they feel like they are going to break if I don't handle them with kid gloves.
Overall I am very pleased with these parts.
There's two things I think that can be improved.
First, I think the alligator clips could be larger. I haven't run into issues yet, but I can easily see myself being unable to grip certain things at some future point. For thin items, they work incredibly well.
Second, I think the alligator clips could be a bit stronger. The flat surface between the clip and the screw mount can bend if you're not careful. I accidentally bent one of the clips when trying to reposition the arm. I have since become more cautious with how I use the clips.
And while this comment isn't specific to these parts, I think it would be cool if Spark Fun invested some energy in coming up with new parts for future release (lights, fans, magnifying lenses, etc.)
The parts are for my Sparkfun Third Hand setup. It's come in handy when I've had to hold the circuit boards I solder at an odd angle. The third hands hold it secure enough to solder, but are movable if I want to view the board at a different angle. They are also rather strong considering their small size. This is a cool invention.
I used these to on my PCB workstation on http://www.thingiverse.com/ I put them together and they work. Cut the tube in half put the cut tubes over the alligator teeth. Do it again to add double insulation. Works Great!
I have read some of the other reviews, and the issues with strength, but I have not have not experienced this. It may be that I use these as a supplement to my panavise so I am not overloading them trying to hold a PCB. Basically little things like this allow me to continue enjoy DIY projects despite my arthritis.

BWW Reviews: A JEW AMONG ROMANS Sheds Light On a Dark History
Let's face it. If you set out to settle a two-thousand year old argument--as Frederic Raphael does in A Jew Among Romans: The Life and Legacy of Flavius Josephus, a historical and philosophical treatise on the ancient Jewish soldier, priest and historian--things are liable to get contentious.
Raphael, a classical scholar who makes a good deal of his living as a novelist, certainly brings formidable skills to the process.
If I'm going to take on the task of shoring up my woefully inadequate understanding of the ancient world, then I certainly prefer doing so in the company of a man who can sum up the character of a Roman emperor by assuring me that, "Titus Flavious Vespasianus carried a big stick more easily than a tune," or do likewise for a warrior culture of the period by stating simply, "It has been claimed that the Aramaic version of (Josephus' classic text) The Jewish War was commissioned to alert the Parthians to the futility of provoking the Romans. If the original text resembled the Greek, it was an improbable book for anyone to read on horseback."
As a stylish distillation of Josephus' own tangled history then--and that of the relationship between ancient Judea and the Roman Empire which defeated and destroyed Jerusalem during Josephus' time, leaving him as the only survivor who managed to tell a tale which has also survived--this volume can hardly be beat.
As a polemic designed to settle that two-thousand-year old argument I mentioned (which takes up the second half of the book and boils down to an attempt to both pin down the necessary duality of Josephus' historical character and, thereby, defend and perhaps excuse it), while also positing its subject as the role model for displaced Jewish intellectuals ever since, it perhaps comes a bit short, though only a bit, and never in less than interesting ways.
For starters, Raphael--so justifiably fierce in his condemnation of so many others--seems oddly indifferent to any real or imagined venality on the part of the Romans who actually destroyed the Jewish temple in 70 C.E., leading to the dispersal of the Jewish nation which has had such far-reaching consequences for human history ever since. He is far more passionate about the (admittedly horrific) sins of Christendom in the centuries following. He doesn't quite say the ancient Jews had it coming, but his Romans--rather like those of Josephus himself, who had the excuse of trying to maintain some sort of cultural identity while keeping his head attached to his shoulders--seem more than a tad detached from their own atrocities, in an "it was clearly nothing personal" sort of way.
While this is partly understandable--even with the Holocaust, and the less publicized, but nonetheless momentous, horrors of Soviet-style communism, (both of which Raphael strains at times to depict as having a more fully formed Christian character than either Hitler or Stalin would have been able to imagine on his own), intervening, the specifically Christianized European pogroms are sufficiently close in time to feel a bit more personal than what those Roman emperors with their big sticks got up to--I think it ultimately leads Raphael into some rather muddled and even lazy positions.
As an example, he tells us that the "Christian fathers" were "the first to declare that 'the Jews' were not only defeated but damned," a declaration they surely did make.
But in a footnote on the same page, we find that the idea of designating "barbarians"--Jews, or anyone else not belonging to a conqueror's own people--as "natural slaves" is attributable to Aristotle and Alexander. That is, to "damnation" in the earthly realm which pagan belief held paramount.
Thus it seems the "Christian fathers" were actually the first to borrow (and, admittedly, adapt) this particular pagan notion (and the borrowing of pagan notions is a monotheistic habit the author does not hesitate to point out elsewhere, though, like many before him, he does not quite get around to explaining why this would invalidate either Jewish or Christian belief and thus provide any evidential weight to his own proudly proclaimed skepticism), whereas Raphael feels it necessary to credit them with utter originality.
In other words, he leaves his potentially convincing argument colored by emotion rather than solely reliant on the cold rationality which certainly would condemn the authors of specifically Christian-mounted horrors just as thoroughly and be much more in accordance with the author's own frequently stated values, not to mention historical logic.

Savannah, Georgia USA near the top of US News Travel's "Best Affordable Destinations" 2012.
SAVANNAH Georgia (June 14, 2012) — If you're a bargain hunter, fan of cooked breakfasts, love old things, and have a 'make it last' attitude then you'll adore Green Palm Inn in America's southland on the Georgia Coast. This darling Savannah B&B is little in size, big in value, and a good buy always.
In the South, there's always a back-story
"Use It Up, Wear It Out, Make It Do" was the slogan in the World War II era poster (1941-1945). It was an era when recycling was introduced.
One might say when tired, historic mansions are re-purposed to Savannah bed and breakfast inns, we innkeepers are among the frugal citizens being resourceful, too.
"I've never thought of myself as a 'junker', but I do have a reputation of efficiency and resourcefulness to see that my guests save time, work, and fuel to enjoy Savannah's famous legacy," says innkeeper Diane McCray. "Gary and I do love this old house that we continue to update, piecing together what's old with what's new and practical. Surely, we have a sense of pride to be a part of making Savannah's old things beautiful again, and seeing the best of the old southern traditions enjoyed anew!"
"Why stay in a glass and steel Savannah hotel when you can groove into your passion to find a charming, reliable standby with more personality? Green Palm Inn is a cozy, re-purposed Gingerbread cottage, now an historic inn — top-rated, gratefully!" Diane adds.
Have you noticed how some traditions skip a generation?
The vibrant generation of art students (roughly 6k – 8k strong international students in Savannah College of Art and Design's Savannah campuses) are leading the way in helping residents and visitors to appreciate again what's wonderfully vintage and retro. Check the ShopScad, for example. It's chic with lots of art students' works that exemplify the resourceful piecing together from the young creatives.
Connect with other junkers.
"Savannah is a treasure trove for junkers," Diane insists. "We anticipate that you would be thrilled to connect with other junkers while on vacation in Savannah."
The chic Design District (Whitaker / Jones / Taylor streets near Forsyth Park) is a surprising place to start. You'll be inspired by the piecing together of eclectic floral arrangements at Madame Chrysanthemum. Corner Door Antiques is a fun spot for classic finds like silver and crystal.
Check out the antique mall along Factors Walk. Jere's Antiques is grand-daddy of vintage furniture.
Be sure to take a ride to Tybee Island beach. Soak up the salty breeze, and admire the seaside cottages. You may decide to stay a day or two at Lighthouse Inn, a re-purposed officer's cottage. Riding Highway 80 onto the island, you'll see the eclectic shops on the left. Seaside Sisters is one of our favorite places there.
Weekend garage sales offer great thrifting and knick knack opportunities. Keller's Flea Market (with its cool "I Love Fleas!" slogan) is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 8am – 6pm. Some thrift stores help to fund good causes. Humane Society Thrift Shop, Goodwill Industries thrift shop, and Salvation Army's two thrift stores) are hot spots for surprising vintage finds for unique quilt fabrics, if nothing else.
We recommend calling ahead for open days and hours at local consignment shops. Here are a few: Landings' Consignment & gifts (1 Diamond Causeway, Suite 21, 912/355-5345); Two Women and a Warehouse (2819 Bull Street,912-351-5040); Threads and Things (15 East Park Avenue, near Forsyth Park downtown, 912-234-5994); Comes Around Goes Around (1094 Eisenhower Drive, 912-351-0688); Savannah Anna's Consignment Shoppe (5505 Waters Avenue, 912-356-5950). The Auction House (22 Windsor Road. 912-351-5040) has monthly auctions of consignment items.
Now, don't you want to get to Savannah? Let Green Palm Inn help you to piece together your wonderful Savannah vacation! We'll plug in the scenic historical places and best places to eat along the way.

Where'd all the sherpa's go?
In an ideal world I would have had a longer time period to work within; I have been in this position before with a client and it was not a great time then either! As usual, a new system is never easy to adapt to and close hand holding is critical for a smooth journey. A few bumps and diversions at the moment not helped by everything else that is going on. Still moving forwards and may be able to get to next camp by the weekend; albeit will need to go back to basecamp to make a few quick repairs next week to be able to make a final assault on the summit.

Last night I attended a weekly meditation group here in my town and I heard an interesting lecture about letting go in order to receive. The speaker gave a wonderful example of this, and here's how it goes.
In India, they have a creative way of capturing monkeys. They tether a coconut to a tree. Then they cut a small hole in the coconut, but large enough for a monkey to slip his hand in. They hollow out the inside and place a banana in it. The monkey sees the banana and reaches in to grab it. As his hand is now in a fist wrapped around the banana, he can't get it out of the coconut. He's now become caught. If the monkey realized that he could just let go of the banana, he would be able to slip his hand out and run to freedom.
This directly speaks to the Kleshas, the afflictions that keep us stuck in life. There are five: ignorance (avidya), ego-attachment (asmita), attachment to pleasure (raga), aversion to pain (dvesa), and clinging to life out of fear of death (abhinivesah). When we think about it, how many of our daily decisions are influenced by any one of these? The monkey held on to the banana because it was a source of pleasure, but it ultimately led to his undoing.
Christian Scientists talk about "right reason." When our decisions are based on right reason, we normally can't go wrong. When they are based on ego, that's where we get jammed up. Not that ego is a bad thing; we need our egos. They help give us a sense of who we are. But when ego-attachment leads to selfish behavior, fear of loss (or death), or running from pain, it defies our ability to really be with that experience of pain and eventually move beyond it to a greater sense of freedom.
Next time you are faced with an important decision, take a moment and really look at yourself and your motivation for that decision. You'll know deep in your heart if it's klesha-driven or right reason. If your decision is based on right reason, you'll know. Even if it initially brings discomfort, see if you can stay with that discomfort. Allow your feelings, thoughts, emotions to surface. Observe them without attachment to them. They will eventually dissipate like bubbles rising up to the surface of a lake and disappearing into the air, replaced by a sense of calm and stillness.
Peace to you.

Would you like to gain some insight into how you are perceived in the workplace?
Would you benefit from feedback from a variety of sources?
If you have answered 'yes' to the above questions, you would most likely benefit from 360 Degree Feedback.
What is 360 Degree Feedback?
It enables you to gain feedback on your professional performance from a selection your colleagues. It provides valuable insight into how you are perceived from a range of perspectives, which can ultimately help you to build on your strengths and identify your development areas.
It is particularly useful in increasing self awareness and provides more detailed feedback about you are viewed than the more traditional manager led appraisal.
What does 360 Degree Feedback involve?
Feedback is gained, via a questionnaire, from a number of individuals who have contact with you at work. They might answer questions on your behaviours, competencies and development areas. These individuals can include colleagues, direct reports, more senior staff and your direct manager. In addition, you may choose to seek feedback from external contacts such as customers and suppliers. The process works best if you seek feedback from a range of colleagues, usually seven or more.
You will also fill out a questionnaire, so that you can assess your performance and compare these opinions with the participants. This can be particularly useful in highlighting how often the perception you have of yourself differs from that of those who work with you.
Is it confidential?
Your colleagues' feedback into the questionnaire is entirely confidential. Results are collected via email and compiled into an anonymous report, which is then analysed to highlight key trends. This analysis forms the basis of the feedback discussion.
What happens in a feedback discussion?
Once all of the questionnaires have been received and the results compiled, you will meet with your facilitator to discuss the report in detail. Although the facilitator will make notes beforehand, the discussion will be led by your own reactions to the feedback you receive. The discussion usually takes 2 hours, and the last half hour will be spent reviewing key actions for your professional development in response to the key points raised.
At the end of the discussion, you take away a copy of the report, along with the facilitators' notes.
What are the benefits of undertaking 360 Degree Feedback?
What are the benefits to your organisation?
If you would like to book a 360 Degree Feedback appointment, speak to your manager in the first instance to see if your organisation would consider supporting you with this.

free ride board reccomendations (400-600)
Been snowboarding seriously for 6 years and need to upgrade my board badly. I've been rockin a burton bullet 155 for the past 4 years and need something better. Live in CT so I go up to Vt/NH/ME and I'm gonna go up to tremblant this winter. I usually shy away from park and focus on freeride. I need a board that handles well on ice but can float on pow if need be. I also spend a lot of time in the woods and would like to spend more time on moguls. (btw I'm 6'2 165lbs). I've considered Burton custom wide, NS Legacy, Rome anthem, Ride prophet, and k2 podium. I need help deciding what board would be best. I will be using burton custom detox bindings and burton hail boots (size 10 or 11. I can't remember).
I am also interested to hear the replies on this. I just picked up a 09 Ride Prophet 158 on Brociety for around $230 shipped (~$100 less than can be found locally, score!) but was also looking at Burton Custom and Burton Custom X boards as the prices have been great for those online.
It doesn't sound like you need a wide board so, I don't reccomend getting the custom wide. I have an 08 custom and I think it's good for all mountain boarding (including park). I don't really like the feel of it for freeriding though. My old board was a Burton Supermodel and that thing rode like a bat out of hell! If you have any demo days around your local mountain, go check them out. Personally if I was in your shoes, I'd go for a T6 (159 or 162) or a Supermodel (159 or 163). I'm a burton lover and can't say much for the other boards because once I went to burton, I haven't gone back.
Nitro Team 159 It's the perfect size for you and geared towards your riding style. It's a super aggressive board that will handle all east coast conditions.
Picked up a Ride DH2 DFC - this thing rips everything.
So fun in powder, very stable on high-speed groomers, and the pop... Well let me just say that the "pop-stix" technology they put in these things WORKS. I can easily pop 2-3ft higher than most people I ride with... of absolutely anything. Super-responsive, durable so far (the slimewalls really do help), fun to jib with. The best thing about the pop-stix is that you have flex where you need it, but it doesn't make the board overly flexy. This board is a great bargain considering the high amount of tech in the sub$500 range.
Wait, I just re-read that... You want to spend MORE time on moguls!?!?! Are you sure you aren't a skier ? Please explain how moguls can be fun on a snowboard. Really, please, I always seem to get stuck in the damned mogul fields after getting lost in the trees.
wow this thread is still going? ok so I settled on the Never Summer Premier F1 161 and all I can say is wow. This board handles extremely well and floats in the powder. This board allows me to ride way more aggressive than I used to just because of how well it handles. I've been in powder, on hardpack, on ice, gone through glades and have done moguls on this board. In short, if you want a freeride board, get this. SB4L, as far as moguls, I was forced to do them because my friends are skiers and really enjoy moguls. What I learned is to first of all pick short lines; you don't need to bomb the entire run. Secondly, look for loose snow or hardpack. DON'T GO ON ICE! ICE=BRUISED RIBS AND SHOULDER BLADES! Lastly, be aggressive; If you attack them,you will get through them and they will be fun and as long as you aren't on ice or really old hardpack, if you fall it won't hurt. Hope this helps.

Everyday, customers invest in millions of dollars worth of numerous goods. Many of these people count on a majority of these goods to be incredibly trusted. The actual consistency of a product or service usually depends upon the actual producer and how they opt to style it. This really is one reason why plenty of producers tend to be committing to powder coating supplies for assistance.
The reason why these types of supplies are quite popular is due to how trusted they help to make a number of products and solutions. Powder layering is a very sturdy finish. In contrast to wet paint, this kind of layering is more in the position to stand up to extremely standard scrapes, scratches and even bumps. This coating actively works to digest the actual impact of certain things to be able to hold its own physical appearance and protect the overall product.
powder coating powders is likewise being employed by manufacturers because of how it rewards them financially. Those who have made use of this type of layering have witnessed some kind of decrease in their own prices. The reason? One good reason why organizations happen to be saving cash is due to just how properly the actual layering holds to surface areas. As a result of how effective it may be with sticking to things firms don't have to worry about appearing wasteful.
If perhaps you are some kind of maker which has a lot of buyers dependent on you to successfully supply exceptional products, take into account making the most of powder finishing. Once more, this particular coating is more effective at fending off scuff marks and chips. Wet paint may possibly look good however it is not very protective. Powder layering is additionally a lot less wasteful and is in the position to do what it's designed to do as soon as it's expected to do it.

U.S. Taxation of International Operations
The tax position of businesses that earn income outside the United States revealed.August 4, 2011
by Michael Tilton, CPA
U.S. corporations, as well as citizens and permanent residents, are generally taxed on their export income in the same manner as on their income from the United States. This article focuses on the tax position of businesses that earn income outside the United States.
U.S. businesses report income and deductions from export activities on the same tax returns used to report income from domestic sales. However, there are two significant differences:
Recognition and Source of Income
Recognition of Income
In general, businesses are considered to recognize income and are required to report the income for tax purposes when the business receives the income, accrues the income under generally accepted accounting principles or has the right to obtain the income.
Time of Payment
Generally, income is recognized when received or accrued. Recognition of income may take place earlier than actual receipt, however, when funds are deposited in a bank account in the name of the business or otherwise made freely available to the business. Similarly, recognition of income may take place later than actual receipt if the funds are subject to future contingencies.
A business may recognize income even though payment is made to another company. The determination of whether the recipient is acting solely for the business depends on whether the recipient is a real entity engaged in a real transaction.
U.S. businesses are on the cash method of accounting with respect to amounts owed to a related foreign person except where the related foreign person is a controlled foreign corporation, a passive foreign investment company or a foreign personal holding company, in which case the U.S. business can deduct accrued amounts as of the day on which a corresponding amount of income is recognized by the controlled foreign corporation, the passive foreign investment company or the foreign personal holding company.
Effective October 22, 2004, accrued but unpaid amounts due from a U.S. business to a related controlled foreign corporation or passive foreign investment company cannot be deducted by the U.S. business until a corresponding amount in included in the gross income of a U.S. person(s) who owns stock, directly or through a foreign entity, in the controlled foreign corporation or the passive foreign investment company.
Delivery of Goods
In some situations, a U.S. business will recognize income when goods are delivered to a foreign person. If the purchaser makes advance deposits with the seller or the purchaser pays with an irrevocable letter of credit, delivery of the goods may trigger recognition of income to the U.S. business. However if the U.S. business ships goods on consignment to a foreign dealer, the U.S. business will recognize income after the goods are sold by the dealer.
Source of Income
U.S. businesses are generally taxed on worldwide income. To mitigate double taxation of foreign income, U.S. businesses may deduct foreign taxes or, alternatively, elect to take a credit for taxes paid to foreign countries. Foreign taxes are creditable only against the U.S. income tax on foreign-source income. Therefore businesses exporting goods must determine whether profit earned from the sale of goods is foreign-source or U.S.-source income.
Purchase and Sale of Goods (Other Than Manufactured Inventory)
If export income is earned from the purchase and sale of inventory, other than manufactured inventory, then the location where right, title and interest in the property are transferred to the purchaser will generally determine the source of income. For example, if a U.S. business purchases tiles in Mexico and sells the tiles in the United States, the income will be U.S.-source income. On the other hand, if the tiles are sold in France, the income will be foreign-source income.
If beneficial ownership and risk of loss are transferred to the buyer while the seller retains bare legal title, the sale will be deemed to have occurred at the time and place where beneficial ownership passed to the purchaser. For example, if the tiles are sold to a buyer in France and title to the tiles passes in France, the income will be foreign-source income. However, if the French buyer takes the risk of loss for the tiles at the moment the tiles are placed on a ship in New York and the French purchaser pays for tiles before the tiles arrive in France, the income should be U.S.-source income.
Factors to Be Examined
The principal factors to be examined in determining the source of income include the following:
In situations where the source of income is unclear, the point at which the buyer incurs an unconditional obligation to pay for the merchandise must be determined.
Sale of Manufactured Inventory
Income resulting from sales of inventory manufactured or produced by a U.S. business is divided between the locations of manufacture and sale. If inventory is manufactured or produced and sold in the United States, any income from sale of that inventory is sourced to the United States.
Gross income on a sale of inventory produced by a U.S. business outside of the United States or a sale outside of the United States of inventory produced in the United States is sourced partly within and partly outside the United States.
The term "produced" includes manufactured, produced, created, fabricated, extracted, processed, cured or aged. Only production activities conducted directly by the taxpayer are considered for this purpose.
Relevant regulation describe two methods that may be used for allocating or apportioning income from these transactions (Section 863 sales) — a 50/50 method and an independent factory price (IFP) method. The 50/50 method applies to any Section 863 sale unless the taxpayer elects the IFP or books and records method for those sales. Whatever method a taxpayer utilizes for Section 863 sales must be applied separately to U.S. sales of goods produced outside of the United States and foreign sales of inventory produced in the United States.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/1/2014 (1261 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
VIRDEN — Kelsey Russill's and Kortney Teale's Brandon teams are still alive at the Manitoba Scotties Tournament of Hearts, but they are on life support.
Both are 3-3 going into today's final round-robin draw at 8:30 a.m. They will secure tiebreaker spots if they win their games, Janet Harvey (5-1) defeats Barb Spencer (4-2) and Joelle Brown (3-3) beats Michelle Montford (4-2).
Russill, who curls with Janelle Schwindt, Kristy Howard and Roz Ripley, knows she needs a lot of help today, but likes her team's situation.
"Very cool," said Russill, who skipped a team to a 3-4 record two years ago at the provincial Scotties and went 2-5 last year as Stacey Fordyce's third. "It definitely hasn't been the situation in the last couple years, so we're looking forward to putting another win together (this morning) and depending on what happens on the other sheets, we might be still at 'er."
Russill's team got back on track Friday morning at Tundra Oil and Gas Place with a 7-6 win over Teale, then followed that up with a dominating 10-4 victory over Dauphin's Lisa Menard, who dropped to 1-5.
Although Russill's team played well against the top seeds during the first two days of the provincial women's curling championship, the skip admitted she felt a lot more comfortable taking on two of the lower-ranked squads.
"Just a little less nervous," Russill said. "I know we're gaining some confidence and we'll have a good game tomorrow against (Shannon) Birchard."
Birchard is 1-5 and out of contention.
For the Teale foursome, which includes Pam Robins, Kristen McLellan and Jolene Cumming, their loss to Russill was devastating. If Teale's team had won that game and their final two, the rookie skip would have been assured of at least a tiebreaker. Now she needs a lot of help to get there.
Teale said her team struggled early in the battle of Brandon as it took them a while to get ready to play at 8:30 a.m., 10 hours after their Thursday night game ended.
"It's tough to shut your head off and go back to sleep and get up four hours later and eat enough to get ready to curl," Teale said. "It's hard not being nauseated because you've been eating at 10 o'clock for the last two days and curling at noon. It's quite the big change."
Teale closed out the day with an 8-2 thumping of Birchard yesterday afternoon. She faces Menard this morning and is hoping for some luck to get into a tiebreaker.
"I don't mind my position at this stage," she said. "I have to keep winning. I control my own destiny at this point, but everybody else has to do things and the stars have to align for something exciting to happen, but I'm OK with this."
Although neither Brandon team is assured of anything right now, both view the week as a success. That's especially true for Russill, who has achieved her pre-bonspiel goal of three wins with one game remaining.
"We're very happy with how we've done and four wins would be great to outdo our other years we've done," she said.
Harvey has clinched at least a tiebreaker in the Red Group.
Meanwhile, Kerri Einarson went into last night's draw atop the Black Group at 5-0 and was assured of at least a tiebreaker. Darcy Robertson, who has Souris native Michelle Kruk at lead, and Chelsea Carey were 4-1. Robertson and Carey faced off last night in a game that was still in progress at press time.
Former Brandonite Robin Campbell earned her first Scotties win while throwing skip stones earlier in the day, helping Team Deb McCreanor (1-4) to a 12-4 victory over Patricia Evans.
