They are made by BridgePort. These 10-pocket folders are great because you don't have to hole punch a single sheet. Plus, you don't need sheet protectors. Each folder is poly and flexible.
Two pockets on each page, front and back.
Thick enough to hold all your important tax documents. Buy one for each year. Always keep your taxes going back 7 years. A relative was audited last year and he wishes he had listened to this tip.
I will move my documents in folders into these 10-pocket folders. I will store them in the crates that are holding my manilla folders now.

Nurturing the religious traditions of all.
Respect for all religious and spiritual traditions is important at Oxford. All are welcome here, whether they are part of a religious, spiritual, or faith tradition or not.
The chaplain is a resource for all members of the college community and an advocate for the religious and spiritual life groups on campus. Programs and counseling services offered through the chaplain's office support students during their time at Oxford.
While you are here, you'll have the opportunity to participate in service, social, and religious programs sponsored by the chaplain's office, the Interfaith Council, and the chartered religious and spiritual life groups at the college. Throughout the year, many events celebrate a variety of faith traditions and their holidays.
Currently there are 10 clubs with a specific religious/spiritual focus. While many of these practice a particular religious tradition, the organizations are open to all who are interested. These include the:
Buddhist Club
Catholic Student Union
Hindu Student Association
Interfaith Council
Jewish Student Union
Journey Christian Fellowship
Muslim Students Association
Oxford Fellowship
Voices of Praise Gospel Choir
Wesley Fellowship
In partnership with the Pierce Program in Religion, the Office of Religious and Spiritual Life sponsors two travel programs that encourage global engagement.
Global Connections
Global Connections is a travel experience designed to help students create meaning in their lives and connect their religious and spiritual convictions with justice issues including peace, poverty, human rights, and the environment. Seminar activities and service offer reflection and meaningful dialogue with others and help participants become agents of change for healthy living both here and abroad. The first Global Connections trip in 2006 was to Montana, where students studied issues of declining rural communities. Subsequent seminars have taken Oxford students, faculty, and staff to Poland, Vietnam, Turkey, and Costa Rica, on a civil rights and the American South tour, and to study incarceration in Georgia and New York City. The 2017 trip took participants to the UK and Germany, where they studied "Religious Protest and Reform" in Oxford and Berlin.
Journeys is a travel program that originated at Oxford College in 1988. Students, faculty and staff from both Emory's Oxford and Atlanta campuses travel with and learn from each other—in addition to the people they encounter during their travels. These trips focus on communities around the world that have a history of conflict, violence, and exploitation. Each Journey carries the hope that participants will be transformed into more thoughtful and caring citizens of the world. Past trips included El Salvador, Northern Ireland, South Africa, Costa Rica, India, the Middle East, Canada, Cuba and most recently the Texas/Mexico border to study issues of immigration.

What makes a 140 amp Alternator different?
What I have now is an GM 3 wire internally regulated Alternator with a "94" amp casting mark and it won't keep up with my car. First off, I have a holley electric fuel pump a dual cooling fan set-up and no radio. I have noticed my voltage (as read on the factory guage) is around the 10 volt range (marked at 8 13 and 18 volts so I'm guessing) at idle and picks up to a little over 13 when I get moving but the alternator seems loaded as the belt squeaks (it's tight, I've checked) when I lean into it a little. Now it gets worse, At night, lights on fans on and fuel pump on, I never get above the 10-10.5 volt range and it seems to be really loaded (squeaky most of the time). If this really is a 94 amp job, I would think it would keep up better than it does. I did rebuild it and checked the parts that went in before I put it in the car. It seems to be a heavier alternator when compared to a 72 and 63 I have on the bench, the windings are much larger and there are more of them on the 94. I did check the voltage from the lug on the back to the positive side of the battery and got .68 volts (which I was told is accepteable as most of the power is going through the wire to the battery) anything else I should check before I shell out for a larger alternator?
Doc here,
Your post is very confusing...
If the belt is slipping then the Alternator is NOT tight, out of line, OR your suffering rotor lock..(Dead Short Across the windings, or mechanical lockup)
You Should read 14.4 volts at he battery at all times across the battery...whenever the vehicle is running with one exception..Total load consumption..(EVERYTHING in the car ON and running max..) And then It should never go below 13.75 volts..and it SHOULD never do excursions at any speed.
If it does, the regulator is bad, or the diode pack is shot (especially in the case of 10 volt readings..) Rebuild or replace.
If you upgrade the alternator to nearly double amperage, you have to consider the need to upgrade the belt pulley system..a small thin belt may not be able to drive the load on the alternator without slipping or breaking.
I see no need to replace the bad one you have now with a lager one, since the 60-70 amp should work just fine.
Sorry about the confusion, i didn't quite know how to put all the information is down. I have already gone through the alternator once when I got it (it was in a pile of parts I got awhile ago).
Given the 10 volt readings and moving up to normal as the engine speed increases, the diodes or regulator could be bad. I had a previous alternator go bad and only put out 10 volts but it didn't move around like this one does. Turned out that one was a diode. Will almost any rebuild kit work or do I need one for the 94 amp one?
You mentioned "rotor lock", how does that affect the output of the alternator?
Okay, I have more information.
I swapped out the 94 amp alternator for a 72 that I had on the bench. The 72 does keep up with the car and the fans which leads me to believe the diodes (on the 94) may not be working properly/burned out.
However, when I load my 72 (fans, fuel pump, lights), mechanically it becomes harder to turn (as it should) but it gets hard enough to glaze the belt. As docvette said I would have to step up the ability to turn the alternator. How can I get around this? I could underdrive the pulley or get more belt surface to touch it but how do I do that?
Also, it since I did not glaze the belt with the 94, is it possible that larger alternators take less mechanical energy to create the same output as a smaller alternator? Just thinking out loud here.
Thanks for your input on this, guys.
do you have a large load, no alternaor should be like that. i had a 100 amp on my 1985 olds 98 and it had no problem and i had a 1500 watt amp. or just try changing the belts maybe they are just too worn out. and there is almost no way that lights fans and electric fuel pump take that much power. 70 amps at 14 volts is 980 watts. thats is A LOT of power.
Last edited by 455c-10; 07-11-2005 at 09:15 PM.
Doc here,
Plain and simple.....
If you can turn it under any load...it's shot.....61 + amps =746 watts at 12 volts...746 watts = 1 Horsepower..you got that much in your grip...?????
2 Fans alone is more than 746 watts.....
hey doc how much power would those fans take to run? startup would be greater than that but once they are running it shouldnt be that much is it?
Doc here,
Depends on the fans, I use a rule of thumb, min..30 amps...start up, free wheel, and rotor lock..anything higher should blow a link...to be safe ..
If you really want exact figures, get your Volt/ohm meter out and measure voltage /current, in it's extreme, than apply a little ohms law..
Or ballpark it 2 fans..1/2 hp...freewheel, =total draw 746 watts...1 hp...approx 65 amps...total draw.
Rotor locks will go as high as 600 amps should you allow them to occur..(no link protection) over sized wire, no relays..ect...
Oh, How do you get a rotor lock? Suck a K~Mart bag into the fan and let it wind up tight...so the rotating elements can no longer move, or lose and freeze up a bearing...just for a few...
guess i need to get back into the real electronics...its been a while. the stuff i do on the jets out here is kind of a joke. i forgot all the stuff i learned about the real stuff...mosfet ttl cmos...electric motors werent my strong point in school too many variables. and i havent found any good books on the stuff. all mine were stolen out of the back of my friends truck.
Goody, guess I need to spend more money... Oh well, I've done it before.
The fans pull something like 40 amps on startup and drop to less than 30 combined for continuous running.
I did try the belt with a new one and the same thing happens. It slips and starts to smoke the belt.
What type should I look for to be the most useful? A good slightly higher amperage one (I think stock is a 70) maybe in the 80's or just get a new stock size one, or do I rebuild one (94 or 72...again) I already have. Since nobody's system is smart enough anymore to get parts based on casting numbers would a 70 amp or a 100 amp (either/or) rebuild kit work?
Where would I get a good quality rebuild kit anyway? I can go to NAPA or CarQuest to avoid the Niehoff and Autocraft parts I have used in the 94 amp one.
Well, I solved the problem. I used the age old Proverb, throw enough money at it and it will eventually go away. And away it went, but not all at once.
I figured that my current luck with rebuilding my alternators was so great (they sort of worked as the above posts read), I just bought a 140 Amp alternator through Summit. That solved part of the problem. I now had an alternator that was capable of keeping up.
I still had a problem with griping the pulley. Three belts later, I still couldn't generate enough grip. I was at My local Checker store and asked one of the most knowledgeable there and he said he had a pile of pulleys behind the counter. I was looking through and found two pulley that measure 2.93". I figured that if the pulley on my 140 was smaller I could just swap. I get home and measure the pulley on the 140 installed in the car. It measured 2.3". With over .5" more diameter, it comes out to about 25% more pulley circumference. And the shaft diameter was the same too. All I needed was a pulley that was a little larger on the 140 and It now goes and keeps up real well.
On this rather expensive journey, I discovered that there really are not a lot of pulleys in the 25- 40% underdriven range. I found some 5" but not the 3"-3.25" diameter I was looking for. Basically a slightly underdriven pulley worked out great in the end.
Well one more update on te alternator thing. The 2.9 pulley is a large improvement over the 2.3, but a little more pulley would still be nice. Like I mentioned, something about 3.25" in diameter would be real nice. Luckily, I am taking a course in machining and I will be able to make one in a short time. In the meantime, I will have to settler for the 5" and live with it for awhile. At least I will be able to drive the car normally without throwing a belt.

State law allows cities to forcibly annex outlying properties but Forest Grove officials have so far resisted that route
Forest Grove officials are making another effort to eliminate 'islands' of unincorporated land inside the city's boundaries, but they're taking their time in doing so.
Several years ago, city councilors began looking at more than 200 properties, which are surrounded by the city but legally not part of it. Owners of these 'islands' don't pay city property taxes or fees and aren't subject to city ordinances (instead, they must follow Washington County regulations). But they don't get certain city services, including sewer and police protection and pay a premium to receive city water.
State law allows cities to forcibly annex such properties and many in Oregon have done so. But Forest Grove officials have so far resisted that route, even though they say these pockets of unincorporated properties make it difficult to plan for city sidewalks, coordinate police protection and monitor compliance with city regulations.
A few years back they offered some incentives to property owners and in early 2007 were able to bring 114 parcels inside the city limits, leaving 108 'islands.'
Earlier this year councilors invited those property owners to an open house to learn about how annexation could affect them. Jon Holan, the city's development director, said that about 20 people showed up and mostly said they didn't want a change. The next step was to get council approval to set a public hearing on the matter. Councilors did that Monday, but not before getting an earful from a handful of 'islanders' who see little benefit from annexation.
'There's nothing the city of Forest Grove can offer me other than a higher tax bill,' said Ron Howden, who lives on Raymond Street, west of Sunset Drive, between Bonnie Lane and Willamina.
Ben Knopp, who lives on Gales Creek Road, just west of Thatcher Road, said he's happy to pay the higher water bills in exchange for the lower taxes and freedom from city regulations, such as those that protect 'significant' trees. 'I'm a believer in personal freedoms,' he said. 'If I want to cut down a tree, I don't want to have to ask anyone's permission.'
Councilors were not surprised to hear from annexation opponents, but they were concerned that only about 25 affected property owners have showed up at the two public forums so far.
'There's three-quarters that we haven't heard from yet,' said Councilor Victoria Lowe. 'I don't want to stop the voices, but I would like to hear from more voices.'
Councilors could have set a public hearing for July, but instead pushed the date back to Sept. 12, to give Holan time to contact all the 'islanders' and offer them a chance to weigh in.

2006 X5 Blowing White Smoke

Mein Auto: BMW x5

I have the same problem. 04 X5 4.4. My friend has the same vehicle, same problem. His smokes on startup, mine doesn't. Both have 78K. Replaced CCVs in mine 1K ago, still have alot of oil in the tubes that go from the CCV to the intake , is that normal? I put my finger in the tube, when I pulled it out there was a thick film of oil on it. I have been told my an experienced mechanic that has dealt with this problem before that it is not the valve stem seals but sludge under the valve covers and possibly the oil drainback ports clogged. I have heard of success with Liqui-moly to clean up the engine followed by Auto Rx. I have been told by the local BMW dealer here that if you have a 4.4 that really does have bad valve stem seals that they can be relaced with out pulling the heads and that the parts are less than 200.00. Most of the charge that places are quoting is labor. I've heard of pricing that would give a person a stroke...pulling heads, pulling engine, replacing engine! I've got a better one, if you're going to have to put 10k in a vehicle you paid 15k for used then why not put "No Smoke in it and drive it till it quits?
I love the vehicle, its a sweet ride and I think with some experienced help I can get it fixed without selling the farm! I am actively working on the problem, when I find out what the problem is i will post it so hopefully it will help other people having the same problems. I realize problems can vary from vehicle to vehicle and that one solution does not fix all but I have read many threads that exactly describe my problem. Any experienced help would be appreciated! Thanks!

We are well into November, and the weather is becoming chillier by the day.
Nothing feels better than coming home to a warm, comfortable house after a cold day at work. Unfortunately, insects feel the same way.
Flowering bulbs can be a great addition to any garden.
Bulbs such as daffodils, hyacinths and tulips are usually the earliest flowers to bloom in spring. Many bulbs will grow for several years with little care, while others are treated as an annual and planted for only one season. They can be placed almost anywhere in the home landscape, including flower beds, pots and even in the lawn.
I am not sure what it is about men and grocery stores, but those long mysterious aisles seem to present a conundrum to a lot of men. Or maybe it's just my husband.
I joke that his idea of Friday Night Date Night is taking me to the grocery store, where we spend 'quality time' together.
If you have watched television or listened to radio in the past few months, chances are you have heard at least one commercial from Scotts brand fertilizer. Their television ads feature a rugged, red-bearded Scotsman named, of course, Scott.
Scott informs us that fall is the best time to fertilize your lawn to help grow new roots for survival during the long winter ahead.
I am a simple girl really, I don't need to have to have a lot of fancy things. I would definitely enjoy them and be giddy if I had fancy, but I don't have to have a lot of bells and whistles.
Case in point: When we moved to the mountains years ago, our cabin didn't have a dishwasher. I swore after spending the first 25 years of my life without one, I would never, not have a dishwasher again.
Have you ever noticed masses of light-green, plant-like material growing in your lawn while mowing your grass? These are probably patches of moss or algae.
Most people notice moss during the summer months when they are actively cutting the lawn. However, winter months, between December and March, are the best time to control your moss problems.
Halloween - the night that begat all fun-sized candies is upon us and with it, the magic and lore of that night.
"Mama, did they do trick or treating when you were a kid?" Cole asked.
When most folks think of gardens in the fall, leaf color change is usually the first thing that comes to mind.
Another aspect of fall and winter gardens that is often overlooked is ornamental berry production. As the leaves of deciduous trees and shrubs drop, certain plants will reveal their showy clusters of brightly-colored berries.
In my office, high up on a shelf, sits a pretty dainty little plaque that has survived numerous moves without being lost or broken.
I am not sure who gave it to me -- I have had it so long, that I forgot. But whoever it was, they evidently know me very well because the pretty, girlie plaque declares: "Never underestimate the power of a good hissie fit."
"There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics and the Great Pumpkin."
That's what Linus said in the Charlie Brown Halloween special more than 40 years ago.
One of nature's greatest spectacles is the array of colors presented during autumn in the mountains.
Most of us are lucky enough to live within driving distance of a deciduous forest, allowing us to take in the beauty of the color change.
There's a window of opportunity as a parent, probably from a child's age of 2 to about 11 where any and every thing we say is gold.
Once they hit the 12-year-old mark, any words that come out of our mouths sound very similar to the teachers on the Charlie Brown cartoons.
Being the parent of an only child I willingly admit he is a little bit spoiled. Not necessarily with material things, although his room would beg otherwise. He on the other hand, would tell you a tale of how deprived he is because at 8 years of age, he doesn't have his own iPhone or tablet. But when it comes to attention, Cole is pretty rotten.
"Mama, tell me about when I was born again," he asked as his 8th birthday neared earlier this week.
We are now officially into fall, which means it is time to start thinking about how to protect our ornamental plants from cold damage.
Daylight hours are getting shorter and nighttime temperatures are dropping. Plants are starting to move in to a state of dormancy, or rest, as their growth hormones slow down.
Most of us are fortunate to live fairly comfortably in our everyday lives. We are lucky to live in a stable society that allows most of us to never worry about our food supply. We all have access to electricity, and all of the comforts and entertainment that comes with it.
Have you ever thought about what you would do if a natural disaster stuck? What if you no longer had electricity, water and access to the grocery store for extended periods of time?

DIY NB O2 A/F Gauge
Good stuff guys, I have an WB O2, just no controlled (dummy me didn't know enough about it, got a $60 price on a sensor, but it was for a AEC controller, which is big $$ compared to a LC1 or LM1, same sensor, wrong connector and very short wire...)
But I hope to get this made, if not make a couple of them, one for each vehicle. And then adapt it for WB if I can.
I have been itching to tune my LT1 Fleetwood for a sweet Open Loop mode, and need the datalog input for it. As found on another forum, you can hook up the WB sensor output (via the controller) to the AC Pressure sensor input to the PCM so you can datalog to your hearts content.
Again, this is a Narrow Band O2 "reader", which works on any GM car from 1981-up, and some 1980 cars. It only gives you some mildly relative info in the 0.8 to 0.9v range (I can explain later if you need it), and can give you some gauge to see if you are running way rich or "about rich", or lean at WOT (or open loop, but chances are if you are in Open Loop the O2's are warm enough to read yet anyway).
If I can figure out if I can get this to read standalone with a WB O2 and no controller (don't hold your breathe for something quick) I will let you know....

Back in 1962, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC-TV) had a program called, "That Was The Week That Was," hosted by humorist and satirist David Frost. The American version of this ran in the 1964-65 season. Can't say I remember anything specific about these broadcasts other than my father understood the humor better than I. Try to imagine Saturday Night Live hosted by George Carlin every week focused exclusively on lampooning whatever happened in the news during the previous week.
In real life most weeks just run along quietly, often boringly; passing from one to the other and into the mist of memory.
But, did you ever have one of those weeks for which the only salve is self-lampooning?
Day went well enough, if you only count the first half-hour and not the rest of the day. After about 2 hours of chest pain gave up and helped break in Union Hospital's super-duper new ER. Cardiac observation, though, is still in old wing. I think it was a lot of fuss just to learn morphine doesn't help when they pull off medical tape.
For those not familiar with the drill, 85 blood tests later left me with "no serious or life threatening" problems. If you didn't have a heart attack, out you go with instructions to "see your cardiologist Tuesday." I honestly have no complaints, food is better at home and nobody wakes a guy up to ask if he's asleep.
Seems God and Pastor Rich can get along without me after all. Remembered a preacher who once said sometimes the holiest thing to do is rest.
It took almost two full years to run through 60 of them, but last of Vicodin was celebrated.
Dr. Dalloul was suspiciously bright-eyed when I agreed it was time to do another heart catheterization. Today? Tomorrow? Thursday at the latest. Not sure if was because I'd been putting him off for almost a year, or his delight in knowing they would be sticking me with all those needles. In the interest of eliminating the usual suspect, tomorrow, 8 a.m., would do fine.
Why, exactly, does the hospital insist you be there by 6 a.m., when everybody knows the doctor won't be in before nine? The procedure itself was almost routine; proving again the human persona can adjust to anything. There is a certain relief in knowing you are definitely not going to have a heart attack in the very near future, reprieve in learning no pacemaker has your name on it. There's an old saying in the medical profession that goes "look for horses, not zebras." I take that to mean eliminate the most obvious first. Next week we hunt zebra.
The long planned, long delayed, bathroom floor replacement project finally began. Scheduled for 8 a.m., called and said he'd be delayed until 10 a.m. If only doctors could do that. We stayed at a Terre Haute motel, the first such sojourn since Ronald Reagan was President. Purely for nostalgic ambiance they gave us a mattress from the Reagan era. Between the rain and walk from the car my chronically hurting leg hurt badly; returning to the car to determine if there were any Tylenol therein seemed counter-intuitive. Hungry, the Vending Area sported only a pop machine. In the morning it was indeterminate whether I had ended the week any better than it began.
So, That Was The Week That Was. Next week we go back to our usual boring life (and writing another boring blog). And how was your week?

Why Washington Irving High Must Close
The final holiday parties are taking place, students are turning in their last assignments of 2011 and many of the private schools are already on vacation. On this last day before Christmas Eve, it is all about the winding down -- including at SchoolBook, which will take advantage of the coming lull to ratchet down its publishing.
Meanwhile the education news this Friday is already light. On Thursday, the city's Education Department responded to accusations made during a demonstration at Washington Irving High School on Tuesday protesting the planned closing of the school.
Marc Sternberg, the deputy chancellor for portfolio planning, said Washington Irving, which is at Union Square in Manhattan, has been failing for decades, and provides some statistics to address complaints that the school was "set up for failure." His response was added to Tuesday's SchoolBook post about the demonstration:
In 1995, only 43 percent of its students were graduating on time, compared to a citywide average of 51 percent. There was violence in the school, and many families did not feel comfortable sending their children there.
While the school has gotten safer, it has not improved student outcomes very much. Today, Washington Irving High School's graduation rate is a full 17 points below the citywide average, and one out of every two students does not graduate in four years.
Mr. Sternberg acknowledges that school closings are tangled in emotions.
The decision to phase out a school is not an easy one, but our obligation is to our students, and we are not going to set them up for failure by pretending a school will suddenly make progress after years of failing its kids.
In the Bronx, a sad moment on Thursday at Bronx Engineering and Technology Academy in Marble Hill. The Daily News reports that a popular teacher "lost it" after a student's behavior set him off. The News said the history teacher, who was apparently well liked by students, threw a chair across the room and cut himself.
"A teacher at Bronx Engineering and Technology Academy expressed anger and distress in front of his classroom today," said Education Department spokesman Matt Mittenthal. "Students were moved to another room and are safe, and the teacher was taken to the hospital for medical attention."
And in case you missed it on Thursday, Linda Fogg Phillips, who is Facebook's expert consultant for education and parents, provides on SchoolBook five practical tips for teachers for using the social media tool.
Gotham Schools' Remainders and Rise & Shine posts have more complete roundups of education news.
With schools closed next week, The Learning Network is shutting down its busy operation, too. But before leaving for the break, editors/educators Katherine Schulten and Holly Epstein Ojalvo posted this last query for students: How Are You Spending the Holiday Break?
We're not students, but here's SchoolBook's answer: looking forward to 2012, when we hope to push forward with more initiatives to help families in their school searches, and bring more (and better) news and information to the site's users.
Happy Chanukah, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Toolkit Home:
Measuring Your Business Incubator's Impact
small businesses don't make it to their fifth anniversary. In
fact, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration, only 44 percent
make it past four years.
Business incubators work to help businesses do better than that by offering specialized services and mentoring. Does it work? Historically, NBIA member incubators have reported that 87 percent of all graduate firms are still in business. Pretty impressive, isn't it?
But here's the hitch: the data on incubator graduates is more than ten years old. Funding sources, federal government officials, the media, and others want up-to-date proof of incubation's impact. Today. In their communities and yours.
The general public doesn't know a lot about economic development, let alone what incubation is or whether it's effective. To many, economic development is the opening of a new chain restaurant. As an engine of economic growth, business incubators simply are not heard. We are small fish in a huge pond, and the great works demonstrated by the few are not heard by the many. We have an impressive story to tell. Without a unified voice, however, the silence is deafening.
Unfortunately, NBIA has had a difficult time gathering current information on incubator impacts because many incubation programs don't track the success of their clients and graduates. Without hard data from incubators, NBIA can't spread the word about the industry's effectiveness.
Why would incubators not track this important information, especially if they have such a powerful story to tell? Because without guidance on what to track and how to measure success, it can be hard work.
That's why NBIA, in cooperation with Southern California Edison, created this toolkit. We are providing incubator managers with the rationale and the tools they need to get started down this critical road of tracking success. We hope that this toolkit is the first step in a major data collection effort that will ultimately allow the industry not just to break the silence, but to break it with a triumphant message of success.

Psychoactive substances are some of the ingredients used in different drugs that affect the mind. You might know such drugs as party pills, herbal highs, legal highs, synthetic cannabis or legal recreational drugs.
In 2013, the New Zealand Government introduced the Psychoactive Substances Act 2013 to control the importation, manufacture and sale of psychoactive substances in New Zealand.
Read more about the background to the Act and the regime
Important information for retailers and wholesalers
You can now apply for a licence to sell approved products by retail or wholesale.
However, there are currently no approved products. Due to the prohibition on the use of animal testing for the purposes of assessing whether a psychoactive product should be approved, it is unlikely that there will be any approved products for at least the next three years.
On this basis, the Authority recommends that you do not apply for a licence to sell approved products by retail or wholesale at this time.
If you still choose to apply for a licence, more information can be found on the Licence application forms and guidelines page.

WASHINGTON (UPI) -- Entomologists say a newly identified butterfly in Texas may be the last truly distinctive butterfly species left to be discovered in the United States.
Insiders say this announcement has caused a split in the community, leading to one group of entomology hipsters who claim the field is dead, as well as an entomology retro movement, already planning a outdoor summer festival tour.
NEW YORK (UPI) -- The addiction-themed U.S. reality television series "Intervention" is wrapping up after 13 seasons, A&E announced Thursday.
Insiders say the show originally had no plans to stop, but its family sat it down and begged it to take a good hard look at what it was doing to itself.
NEW YORK (UPI) -- The sister of a Chinese diplomat was caught shoplifting at Macy's in New York, the New York Post reports.

The generally superior macroeconomic performance of recent years—especially the more favorable combination of low inflation, low unemployment, and the apparent acceleration of productivity growth—is commonly attributed to the effects of information technology (IT) in general, and of the Internet in particular. This paper examines the evidence for and against the following four propositions:
• Productivity growth in the U.S. economy has speeded up.
• Advances in IT are the driving force behind this acceleration in productivity.
• Because of faster productivity growth, the U.S. economy can now sustain a higher
growth rate without suffering from higher inflation.
• The Federal Reserve should therefore pursue a looser monetary policy than it would with slower productivity growth.
In brief, are we in a New Economy?
It is impossible to make a definitive judgement until sufficient time passes to gain some historical perspective, but some evidence points to a recent acceleration of productivity growth—and therefore, of sustainable Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth—at about the time the Internet was diffusing rapidly through the economy. At minimum, that's an interesting coincidence.
... and so on.

Shed roof screened porch
Looking to add on to my house. Just a basic screened porch on a concrete slab, 4x4 posts, etc. A few questions though:
1) Can I just cut through the existing slab and pour the required number of "footers" instead of cutting a whole section out? I live in SE N.C. so frost/freeze is not an issue. Also, the outboard end is the only side that needs "footers" to carry the weight of the roof, correct?
2) For the ceiling joists, can I raise them off the top plate so as to add more head room? Collar ties would perform the same purpose only further up the slope, right? Again, the main goal is to gain maximum head room while keeping an 8 ft. outer wall height.
Any help is appreciated.
Can you get to the outside corners of the slab, if so, dig down from the outside & pour your footer under the slab then just cut through the slab for the posts to sit on your new footer. A Core Drill will be a safe option to use to keep from bustin' out the slab.
As for the head room, why can't you just raise the wall height? Is slope a factor? You really need AT LEAST a 4/12 pitch.
I don't follow you on the "collar ties" if you are making a SHED roof??? Collar ties are used on a "gable" roof to keep the rafters from doin' the "split" so to say.
I'd like to maximize the head room since it looks like I'll only be able to build out to 10 ft. There is a second story window that bottoms out at 134". I figure 3.5/12 roof will suffice and may ice/water shield the roof decking before shingling. Let me ask another way: with a shed roof, or any, are the ceiling joists necessary? Again, if I could just put T&G on the bottom of the rafters, that would be best!
If the ceiling joists are/were necessary, that's why I proposed moving them up a little to then give the appearance of a "gambrel" roof inside.(hence the collar tie idea)
Clear as mud, right?
No, you do not need ceiling joists on a shed roof. With it being under a 4/12 I'd suggest that you use a metal roof instead of shingles.
Oh yeah, I see what you were talkin' about now with using the "collar ties" to simulate a gambrel. Good idea.

Let's Make a Framework is an ongoing series about building a JavaScript framework from the ground up.
These articles are tagged with lmaf. The project we're creating is called Turing. Documentation is available at turingjs.com.
Last week I started retrofitting Turing with AMD (Asynchronous Module Definition) support. This week I'll complete most of this conversion to AMD by demonstrating how to use AMD modules both with and without a script loader.
James Burke, creator of RequireJS, contributed to Dojo's script loader. As we've seen previously in this series, Dojo ships with a resource loader that's capable of loading AMD modules, and is in fact built upon AMD. In contrast, jQuery conditionally supports AMD if a
define function exists.
I wanted to do something slightly different: use
define to express module dependencies, but still allow people to include Turing modules on a page without using a script loader. All modules are dependent on
turing.core, and some are dependent on the
dom and
events modules. Turing contains some useful Underscore-like functionality in the
turing.enumerable module, and I've always avoided reusing it in other modules because there wasn't a way of expressing the dependency.
Therefore, I want Turing to be structured using AMD and to support these use cases:
This means we need an alternative method to jQuery's conditional AMD support. Dojo's built-in script loader is another solution, but it's actually a huge amount of work and people might not always want to use a script loader.
So, what do we do? There are a few ways to approach this problem:
define to work without a script loader
define when not available
The first option seems like it would require too much maintenance -- people would have to choose an AMD Turing download or a non-AMD version. The second option allows us to build Turing using AMD's nice, modular structure, but completely breaks backwards compatibility. The third option has potential, and this is the one I spent some time exploring.
To support AMD's
define method when an AMD-compatible script loader isn't available, I added a method to
// turing.core.js
(function(global) {
var turing = {}, modules = {};
// `turing.core`'s code goes here
turing.define = function(module, dependencies, fn) {
if (typeof define === 'function' && define.amd) {
define(module, dependencies, fn);
} else {
if (dependencies && dependencies.length) {
for (var i = 0; i < dependencies.length; i++) {
dependencies[i] = modules[dependencies[i]];
modules[module] = fn.apply(this, dependencies || []);
// Export `define``
if (typeof define === 'undefined') {
global.define = turing.define;
}(typeof window === 'undefined' ? this : window));
// turing.dom.js
define('turing.dom', ['turing.core'], function(turing) {
// `turing.dom` source
By wrapping each module in a
define statement, individual modules can now be loaded using RequireJS, and they'll automatically load
require(['turing.anim'], function(anim) {
turing('#results').html('Turing has loaded with the DOM module.');
turing.anim.chain(turing('#animate')[0]).move(1000, { x: '100px', y: '100px', easing: 'ease-in-out' });
turing function here is the global
turing method that will get exported to
window. The
turing.anim module has
turing.core as a dependency, so we get the familiar
turing function as expected.
This snippet is used by a functional test that I wrote to ensure Turing modules can be loaded with RequireJS. It's a small Express app that can be found in
jQuery is currently a monolithic framework (although the build process can be customised to remove unwanted libraries) which makes supporting AMD relatively easy. Conversely, Dojo is highly modular -- it's built on AMD and includes its own module loader.
Here I've presented an alternative solution that uses a lightweight version of AMD's
define method to support module loading through script tags, monolithic files, and AMD-compatible script loaders. It's a potentially useful pattern for structuring large libraries and frameworks that have interdependent modules.
The code for this tutorial can be found in commit 4361042.

I've been thinking a lot lately about choices.
Often I look at my life, and find that various aspects of it make me feel trapped, or thwarted. It's so easy to feel victimized by what are essentially first-world problems, isn't it?
But the truth is that — when it comes to how I live and what my life looks like — choices abound. And the single most powerful choice I face? It's attitude.
Attitude is a constant struggle for me. I don't want to go through life groaning about this and that … and yet on so many days (particularly the long, hot, unstructured days of summer), that's the mindset that I naturally slip into.
The following poem is from my book, What It Is Is Beautiful. It's about my struggle to face daily challenges with more passion and purpose. I hope you enjoy it!
Obstacle Course
sleepless, thinking,
I turned my problems
from back to front,
then front to back,
trying through worry
to wear them down
to nothing.
If anything,
I only made them
loom larger, by slipping
one next to another,
matching craggy edges
until I had fashioned
an insurmountable
Today I find
they are neither
worn to dust nor
mortared together;
one by one, they crop out
through the morning.
And as I meet them,
I huff and sigh and whine.
Yet I recall the first
evening of summer camp
when I was fourteen—
we leapt over fallen trees,
grabbed for rough rope ladders,
splashed through mud pits
in the dark.
We laughed raucously
in the face of each hurdle,
and we emerged
from our challenge
soaked but exhilarated,
with skinned knees
and new best friends.
So tomorrow I vow
to try this: the child who
shakes me awake
is the day's starting
pistol, and I will leap up
with vigor, unfazed
by my handicap
of inadequate sleep.
Later I will brave
the oven of our minivan
to maneuver squirming children
into buckles and boosters—
without once losing my cool.
And that evening I will dance
around mounds of laundry,
as I head to my desk
to confront with boldness
the dark recesses
of our perpetually

Neekie went home to be with Mom at 5:09 PM on Sunday August 24, 2008. I found out at his annual vet checkup last August that he had a tumor on his rectum. The vet didn't know whether it was malignant or not. Apparently it was. He was fine up until August 8th when he stopped eating. He was acting fine, just not interested in food. The last food, a can of tuna, I was able to coax into him Sunday the 17th. He continued to drink water up until the night before he died. I had to hold the bowl under his face for him to drink, but he was getting water in him. He'd whine when he wanted a drink. So I was on 24 hour a day "bowl patrol" the last 4 days. Friday night I turned the light out to go to bed and he started crying. He seemed to be afraid of the dark. I guess he couldn't see the other 3 and me. Neekie always did have separation anxiety. The last 2 nights I had to sleep with the light on. On Saturday night he made a weird noise at 9:30 PM. It wasn't a usual noise that he makes. I thought he was thirsty, so I went up and offered him water. But that time he refused it. I knew everything was just about over. I sat on the floor beside him, or laid on the bed for the next 20 hours. At 2:15 AM on Sunday morning he took a seizure. Over the course of the next half hour he took 3 more. Up until then he would move, lick his toungue out, look at me, etc. But after that he seemed to be in a coma, even though his eyes were open. I had the air conditioner on for him so that he could breath easier. With the roar of it all I could do was watch his breathing. He seemed to be breathing OK. At 4:30 PM an elderly woman wrapped her car around a telephone pole down on Beulah Rd, knocking the electric off to this side of Penn Hills. I'm sure she wasn't any too happy about what happened, but she actually did me a favor. With the air conditioner off I could hear him breathing. It was raspy and heavy. I laid there listening to him. And then it just stopped. I actually jumped over to p of him onto the floor so I could get down beside him. By then he was twitching. He gasped a couple of times.....and that was it. The end didn't last anymore than a minute at most. So Mom got her dog back. I know he went directly to be with her. She would never admit it, but she loved him dearly. When she was dying she would get kind of mixed up about things, like where she was. One time she asked me where I was staying. I told her that I was staying at home. That she was only in Mercy Hospital. Then she said, "Who's taking care of Nikki and Boo Boo?" (she always called him Nikki, Boo Boo is Bailey). She was lying there just off a respirator, worrying about her dog.
Neekie was born on December 6, 1995. He joined our family on May 20, 1998 after the death of Duffy. When Duffy was on his way out Mom and I discussed what kind of a dog we should get when we lost him. I was working for people who had a husky. She was such a sweetheart. I told her that I thought we should get a h usky because Nikita was so nice. Duffy died on May 17th. The Pennysaver came out on May 20th with an ad for a FREE AKC registered Siberian Husky. We were on that ad like flies on honey!!!! We went out to Monroeville and got him that night. We soon learned why she got rid of him. He had severe separation anxiety. He had totally trashed her apartment. The worst he did in our house was tear the screen door apart to get in the house out of the garage when we were at work. For years we had a running joke on our Christmas cards about how many times I'd put the screen door back together that year. In December 1999 Mom saw Laika advertised at a local shelter on TV. Neekie was a changed dog after we got her. He became very calm. We always said that Laika would do a lot better without Neekie than Neekie would do without Laika. Thankfully we had already gotten Bailey by the time Laika died in June 2002. In the fall of 2000 Laika (who was a little chunkobutt) fell on Neekie and injured his bac k. He had back issues for the rest of his life. When his back would go out his paws would all go numb and he would just fall over. I'd tell him to sit on my lap. He would drag himself over and plop down on my lap. I'd rub his back until the spasm let up. As I said earlier, he acted perfectly normal up until almost the end. I am going to miss him so much. He was my baby. I can still see that little white face peaking out from around the door frame the night we went to get him. He picked Mom that night as "his". We had to stop at the pet store on the way home for bird seed. I sat with him in the back seat. He sat on the seat with his back to me, watching for Mom to come out of the store. He got so excited when he saw her coming around the corner of the building. He had completely bonded with her......and he had only known her about 20 minutes! While she was sick he never left her. It got to the point that I would have to feed him in her room because he wouldn't come downstairs to eat . I ended up having to take him for walks around the block just to get some exercise so that he wouldn't become a cripple. As soon as we would come in the door he would take off up the stairs to be with her. He camped out on the futon in her room. When she would go into the hospital he would walk around for days howling. I'd be talking to people on the phone and they could hear him going "Woooooooo wooooooooo." in the background. They'd often ask me what that strange noise was. "The dog.", I'd say.
Rest in peace my little Pooder Neek. I know I will be with my pets when I get to Heaven. My pets are my identity, and I just wouldn't be the same person there if they weren't there also.
************************************************************ ********
There were some men here the other day. They brought a lot of shiney, metal stuff in to my house. Mom said that I would get in their way while they were working. I got all excited when she put my leash on me. "Yea!" I thought, "We're going for a walk." But she did the unthinkable~ she tied me on my chain out in the front yard!!!! I was ssssoooooo mad. I went, "Wooooo Woooooo!" for a long time, but the men didn't leave and Mom didn't come for me. So I tried crying (REAL loud). The men would just chuckle at me while they were going back and forth from their truck getting tools, and say, "Aw cute doggie." But they didn't help me. After awhile I stopped being mad, and just got really bored. I decided that what our yard needs is a nice swimming pool. I decided that I would start digging one today. I wanted to surprise Mom with it because she likes to swim. I thought I would make her happy, but she didn't seem too happy when she saw it. I wonder why? I thought I did a really good job digging it. Nice and big....and deep. She said that when the workmen were leaving she was talking to them at the door. She just happened to look out the door at me, beyond them. She said that all she could see were my front paws going and dirt flying in the air. Welllllllll, she always taught me to be ambitious, be a hard worker, and do a good job. Mom calls me her furry rototiller!

The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission is the levelling and managing establishment for the 30.4 square-mile Meadowlands District, compilled of constituents of 14 towns in Bergen and Hudson counties. Designed in 1969, the Commission has battled to finish illegal deep-sea disposal of wastes, foster respective development, facilitate economic strengthening, and prevent and defeat the residual open space and wetland environments.
Over the years the NJMC has sponsored tens of millions of dollars in local ground environment and council-owned programs. These financial resources have paid for flood regulation, business and education programs and have let Municipalities to renovate parks and streets and buy threat warning, DPW and other vehicles – all at no price to taxpayers. The Commission together with My Canadian Pharmacy has also assisted to draw billions of dollars in economic development and tax receipts for District Municipalities over the previous four decades.
Today the NJMC pushessustainable development and green technology through its sustainable building and energy alternative programs, inclusively of the designing of the Business Accelerator and several projections to have former sanitary landfills with solar panels. The Commission also pushes sustainable building in the Meadowlands District by supplying with essential motivation to construct officials who satisfy sustainable standards, and the NJMC's own Center for Environmental and Scientific Education was the first public building in the state to reach LEED Platinum type certification from the U.S. Green Building Council.
Additionally, the Commission has assisted to keep more than 3,400 acres of wetland environments and assisted to design 21 parks throughout the District. The NJMC suggests controlled bird walks, canoe tours and pontoon boat tours on the Hackensack River and also directs to teach others about the Meadowlands' genuine ecosystem through its programs for school-aged children educated by Ramapo College teachers and public scheduling conducted in its Meadowlands Environment Center.

A pushchair will be one of your most important pregnancy purchases, but with so many different makes and models catering for different lifestyles, needs and preferences, finding the right one for you and your family can feel like a daunting task. When choosing a pushchair, the most important thing to consider is where, when and how you're going to use it. The product description and photos on each pushchair's product page tell you the size, weight and specific details of each model. Amazon customer reviews often provide additional information from other parents about strengths and weaknesses, resilience and useful features, so read as many as you can.
To work out your basic requirements, try asking yourself these questions:
• Does your pushchair need to be compatible with your car seat? If you use your car frequently, you'll save a lot of time if your car seat snaps onto your pushchair frame. This type of pushchair is generally known as a travel system and is a popular choice because it means you don't have to wake your baby up to move them around. Travel systems have a pram unit which is interchangeable with the car seat. The pram unit usually converts into a pushchair so you can use the same model from newborn to toddlerhood. Check whether the car seat is included as this can make a big difference to the price of your travel system. If you don't feel you need a travel system, a fully reclining pushchair that's suitable for newborns may work out lighter or cheaper for you.
• Do you need to limit the folded or unfolded size? How big is your hallway? How wide is your doorway and/or gate? Will you need to squeeze it into the boot of a small car? Check the dimensions in the product description before you buy.
• Do you need to limit the weight? If you're going to use public transport or walk up and down lots of stairs, a lightweight pushchair with a carry handle is essential. If you have mobility issues, investigate models that fold or steer easily with one hand.
• Where are you going to walk? Consider where and how often you'll be walking with your pushchair. For city use, choose a lightweight model that's easy to manoeuvre in busy shops and built for smooth terrain. If you plan to walk on rough ground, choose an all-terrain pushchair with suspension and lockable or fixed wheels. If you'll be out in cold or windy weather, make sure your pushchair will keep your baby nice and cosy. If you're tall or have back problems, check how adjustable the handle is.
• What about accessories? Can you customise your pushchair with a sunshade, rain cover and foot muff, or are they already included? Some travel systems include the car seat while others don't. If it's not included, make sure the car seat you buy is compatible with the travel system.
• Do you need to store a lot of stuff under the seat? It's not a good idea to hang lots of heavy bags from a pushchair handle, so don't forget to investigate how much shopping storage is available under the seat.
• Do you love it? Your pushchair will be with you almost all the time, so it's important to buy one you like the look of, as long as it also satisfies your practical needs.
• Do you really need a pushchair? A baby carrier may work fine for you if you lack space and live close to local amenities, friends and family. Read our Baby Carrier Buying Guide or browse baby carriers. Once your baby is over six months and can sit up well, you can switch to a stroller.
Browse the pushchair types below, or check out our full range.

Small Business-Building Insider
Tips to help empower YOU as you build a successful home-based or network marketing business.
Quick Tips On Public Speaking
Speaking Effectively in Front of a Group:
Know your audience.
∗ What is their level of knowledge about the topic?
∗ What is their background?
∗ What are they expecting?
Based on this research you should be able to:
∗ Decide how much background information to provide.
∗ Which questions to answer.
∗ What tones to use.
Outline your presentation including all the key points and organize them in an
effective way.
Believe in your message!
∗ Avoid phrases like "it seems to me" and "it is likely".
Use "real-life" examples.
Decide how your presentation may benefit from the use of black/white boards, handouts, flipcharts, overhead transparencies, slides, or other visual aids.
Rehearse to a friend or in front of a mirror to see your own facial expressions and gestures.
Improving Your Speaking through Practice:
• Seek speaking opportunities. Volunteer.
• Assist other people in developing their speaking skills. Many times the "teacher" learns as much as the "pupil".
Developing Your Speaking Style
Use the recording method. Record yourself speaking (or reading a prepared speech or presentation. Set the tapes aside for a week or two. You don't want to listen to them immediately.
When you listen to the tapes, ask yourself these questions:
∗ Did my tone accurately reflect the importance of my words?
∗ Was my pace appropriate for each topic?
∗ What was the level of my enthusiasm?
In judging your level of enthusiasm, ask yourself these questions:
∗ Should I have used more or less enthusiasm?
∗ Did my word choice make my points "come to life"?
|Source: http://www.wendyscharfman.com
Develop a More Informal Style of Speaking:
∗ Imagine that you are speaking to one person.
∗ Use examples, analogies, comparisons, and metaphors to liven up your message.
∗ Be natural. Talk as you would in conversation.
∗ Be short and simple rather than complex.
∗ ENJOY YOURSELF! Your listeners will also gain a sense of satisfaction and enjoy themselves too.
Nonverbal Communication Awareness
Consider all the ways people say "no". Make yourself conscious of your audiences' nonverbal communication:
A good communicator picks up on nonverbal messages sent by their listeners and responds accordingly. Concentrate on yourself. Take note of the nonverbal messages sent to you and list the possible reasons for the behavior.
- Loss of eye contact
- Facial Expressions
- Gestures
- Body Posture
- Vocal Patterns
- Hand Motions (drumming, fidgeting, etc.)
A good communicator picks up on nonverbal messages sent by their listeners and responds accordingly. Concentrate on yourself. Take note of the nonverbal messages sent to you and list the possible reasons for the behavior.

Forgotten speech fails to mar Nobel banquet

Royals, laureates, and diplomats were among the more than 1,300 guests that feted the 2012 Nobel Prizes at Stockholm's City Hall on an evening when not even a forgotten speech by literature winner Mo Yan could dampen high spirits.
For the first time in three years, Sweden's entire royal family was in attendance for the Nobel banquet.
The much anticipated meal featured a starter of Marinated Arctic char with cauliflower terrine, Kalix bleak roe, and dill mayonnaise, followed by a main course of pheasant with chanterelle mushrooms, poached pear, winter vegetables, almond potato purée, red wine gravy.

Romney Hasn't Paid Taxes in 10 Years
Posted in the Kingsport Forum
#1 Aug 16, 2012
So let's see here. Obama shows his birth certificate to FOX LIES 50 times and they refute it, and Romney just says "piss on the American people. I'm not showing my tax return.". YOU BLOOMING IDIOTS. HOW MUCH MORE PROOF DO YOU STUPID PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS HINK OF GARBAGE IS A CROOK WITH A TIE ON. STUPID STUPID PEOPLE (no offense) THIS CROOK HAS SWOOPED IN ON WOUNDED COMPANIES AND STOLED PEOPLE PENSIONS, SOLD OFF ITS EQUIPMENT, POCKETED IT'S ASSETS, LET PEOPLE GO AND AFTER RAPING EVERYONE, PUT HIS MONEY IN SWITZERLAND. HIS TYPES ARE THE ONES WHO RUNINED AMERICA AND YOU IDIOTS WANT TO MAKE THIS THUG THE PRESIDENT? What does a millionairre 200 times over have to offer some redneck wandering around the freaking hills of Kingsport Tennessee? Poverty, you idiots and nothing more. If you vote him on, your family will be begging him for food in 8 years. Peasants.
#2 Aug 16, 2012
Yes, the founding father were a bit of aristocrats, but everything that they did was in the interest of some form of fairness. If you even use that word, you're a Marxist. When did "working together" turn into "socialism" and when did "Vulture Capitalism" become "good business"....FIX NEWS HAS WARPED YOUR MINDS. I'm serious. You need reprogramming. The corporations and wall street are killing us. Who gives a crap about the people on food stamps. Has FOX NEWS convinced you that the poor people have all the money? You're upside down folks. They want us to look like China. No minimum wage, no tax for the rich, no access to tax returns, no accountability of the rich, wall street owns everything, reduction of people's rights, no social programs, no Medicare, no welfare, no health insurance, no social security, no FREE PRESS, no freedom of speech, martial law.......that's what Romney wants. TAX RETURNS? trickle down on you !!!!!!
#3 Aug 17, 2012
Stupid people? I hate to be the one to tell you that stoled is not a word in the context of stealing. Stoled is a word but is used when talking about wearing a mink stole or some other type of wrap.
As for the rest of your diatribe....BS.
#4 Aug 17, 2012
the current occupants of power have consistantly shown a disregard for American principals, the Constitution, law and the "best interest of the American people", that they have to be replaced.
both parties grow government at each opportunity / both consistantly misrepresent / neither is comprised of a core that has " best for nation" at its heart. Both have used the governments power to attack political enemies.
the merchant has no loyalty to border or nation ... we were warned long ago.
>>>>>>> >>>>
#5 Aug 19, 2012
Are you disputing the fact that he won't show his tax returns? Haha, it's funny people hate on Obama if he breathes the wrong way, but god forbid they demand Romney show everybody he payed taxed. If I had nothing to hide, I would show everybody in a minute to shut of the accusors. I think it's pretty obvious he has something to hide, and the only people who will still vote for him are the right wing kool-aide drinkers.
#6 Aug 19, 2012
What does the law say about how many years he needs to show his tax returns? If it says 10 years and he should show that many. If it says 2 years than he should only show tow years. It is easy to accuse some one of something. If i knew you I could say that you sell drugs from your home and you would need to show that you don't. Ger a life and talk about the issues.
#7 Aug 19, 2012
I don't like either of them. But when the President lies AS PRESIDENT, it's a little more significant than if a candidate for the presidency lies. Obama had his chance in office, promised to cut the debt in half by his first term...blah blah blah...ok let's try some other liar now.
1. People may vote for Romney.
2. People may vote AGAINST Obama.
3. Those that did not vote for Obama last time certainly have not been swayed to vote for him this time because of his smashing record in office.
4. And many of those who voted for Obama last time have been turned off by his record in office.
What's left? Romney wins it by sitting back in recliner with his feet up. Which by the way would have done more good for this country than Obama.
Let's not forget that during his time in office, an organization known as THE SUPREME COURT who is supposed to ensure that the US Constitution is upheld, instead found an underhanded way to skirt it so that this president's bill would be passed during an election year because by trying to sell us on the idea that the words "penalty" and "tax" are synonyms. THIS. SHOULD BE. ALARMING - regardless of whose side you are on.
It's like they are fighting over little issues like tax returns and college degrees in an attempt to divert our attention away from the cliff we're being driven off of during the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression. That's not government. That's incompetence.
Until that is fixed, it won't matter who's in the White House. That's why I say, Obama's "yes we can" crap turned out to be can NOT, so time to give someone else a chance. When you're getting screwed over, it doesn't matter who's doing it, all that matters is getting them out of the way and hope someone different will stop the screwing over.
And have you noticed the pile of new bills costing billions Obama has been pushing lately? He's hoping to improve his image for the election and in case he is not reelected, he at least gives more debt to the Republicans to deal with in an attempt to make their time in office look worse. Bowing to Saudi kings, telling Egyptians we should raise our kids to be like Egyptian youth, low blow attack ads, lies - this is not a president, this is proof that a neat haircut, wearing a suit, and acting professional can go a long way towards hiding total incompetence.
#8 Aug 19, 2012
Well said. I think it shows that he is above us too. You should have seen his wife decline it. NO MORE TAX RETURNS. Like "we don't have to show you peasants anything. We are beyond reproach.
He works for the wealthy. Only the wealthy. The wealthy have never backed a president this well. Rich folk have given 99.9902% of all his money. Shameful. Obamas average contribution is $51 and Romneys average is $56,700 how about that?
#9 Aug 20, 2012
Talkng about tax returns is like talking about college grades and not talking about jobs and this country's big issues. That is what the media and Obama wants. Let's talk about his record.

The ignorance you spew is the reason we have the clown in the White House now....
#11 Aug 20, 2012
Obama not great, but we have had worse...neo-fascist Reagan was one of worst presidents in history! many of "Ayatollah" Reagan's policies are the source fo the mess we have now!!
#12 Aug 20, 2012
Blank minded....There is no Soviet Union today because of Reagan. There is no Berlin Wall today because of Reagan. By the way, the Ayatollah came to power during the worse president in the history of this countries administration....Country Boy Jimmy Carter.
#13 Aug 20, 2012
Actually, Bush 41 was presdient when soviet Union collapsed! ALso, let's not forget Reagans Amnesty for illegals program which opened the floodgates for illegals, he was a "cut-and-runner" in foreign policy, most corrupt administration ever (138 administration officicials indicted...most of any presdient), elimination of fairness doctrin in media,(failed)trickle-down economic policy and deregulation of wall Street which led to biggest stock market crash in hisotry in October 1987, tacit support of corrupt regimes around the world which led to deaths of hundreds of thousands (perhaps MILLIONS) of innocents around the world, Iran-Contra Affair, stupid policy in Afghanistan which led to rise of Taliban, ignoring AIDS and drug epidemic, empowering of American-Taliban-wannabe's (aka "Evangelicals"), surrounded himself with dangerous rightwing cronies (Ed Meese, James Watt, Alexander Haig), opened up (FAKE) "free trade" with China which has now led to China OWNING our economy, and even cut such programs as SCHOOL LUNCH PROGRAMS!!! He was a terrible presdient!!! Also, when you say "Carter was worst of all time", do you mean EVER?? I mean, Carter was not very good president, but was he worse than others such as Pierce, or Tyler, or Buchanan. ANd...before i get slammed, i am an independent moderate, who likes neither Obama NOR Romney. and i despise Reagan, but think Bush 41 was a GOOD president! Clinton was not bad (most booming economy in history and balanced budgets), Bush 43 was a f*****g joke, and Obama is a do-nothing!!
United States
#14 Aug 20, 2012
Read your history sonny, Reagan was responsiblle for creating the biggest boom in the economy in history. He was responsible for putting all the satelites into space that created that allowed for the communication we have today......internet, cell phones, interenational TV........sounds like you might have lost your welfare under Reagan
#15 Aug 21, 2012
So what you're saying here is that when reagen was the prez, then communists did very well. But when Carter was in, communists did poorly. And so which do you prefer. I notice that you didn't say much about OUR country. Remember us?
#16 Aug 21, 2012
Eat massive amounts of sting-filled, fiber fortified poop and keep your head on FOX NEWS, you drilling worthless burden on humanity. I can't figure what you worms are thinking when sucking up to the wealthy. Are you thinking that they might make ou their pool boy in the new world order? We should get you a leash.
United States
#17 Aug 22, 2012
Its really funny to me how the libbysocialist hate Fox news....
Sounds like the idiots in the white house's message of class jealousy has affected your thinking!!
#18 Aug 22, 2012
I don't know who you work for or if you even work? I do know that if you work in the private sector you had better suck up to the wealthy or you will be unemployed.
United States
#19 Aug 22, 2012
Since the top ten percent of wage earners pay 70% of the taxes paid in this country, who do you think funds all of these government welfares programs you named? Howm many of these programs are you currently on,???

"Romney Hasn't Paid Taxes in 10 Years"
I doubt there's any facts behind this accusation and even if it were true...isn't that between Romney and the IRS?
What's Romney's taxes have to do with the economy, unemployment, healthcare or defense?

About Lacrosse
The best thing about being a Tar Heel lacrosse player is playing for something more than yourself with a great group of guys.
My favorite thing about playing for Coach Breschi is that I know I have a great coach that can get my teammates and me to be better and to reach our goals.
Since last year the aspects of my game I've worked on the most are getting bigger and being more physical on field.
My best friend on a college lacrosse team other than Carolina is my brother, Nikko (Loyola College).
My greatest strength as a lacrosse player is my work ethic.
