A hard year's work?
State Rep. Leon Young isn't exactly known for his legislative writing prowess, but he certainly is known as the hardest-working Milwaukee-area legislator. (Just kidding.)
Young is listed as author on few bills but consistently claims to have been in Madison the most time of any lawmaker during the year. Young even declared more days in Madison than every Milwaukee area senator except one.
Now, he may be getting work done or perhaps he's methodical, but we also know that every day a lawmaker claims to be in Madison means an extra $88 in the pocket. So Young's self-proclaimed time sheet meant he took home an extra $13,464 for his bank account in 2007.
Rounding out the Milwaukee-area top five on the per diem list include: Mark Gottlieb (R-Mequon) at 124 days for $10,912; Mark Honadel (R-Oak Creek), 118 days for $10,384; David Cullen (D-Milwaukee), 110 days for $9,680; and Tamara Grigsby (D-Milwaukee) 110 days for $9,680.
Candidates who could be accused of being distracted by campaigns for higher office notched the fewest number of days in Madison: Pedro Colon, running for City Attorney of Milwaukee, spent 54 days in Madison, while Sheldon Wasserman, who is running for state Senate and continually touts his door-knocking efforts, was found in Madison on 42 days, lowest on the list.
Among area state Senators who spent the most time in Madison, Tim Carpenter (D-Milwaukee) topped the list declaring he spent a third of the year there -- 145 days -- which boosted his pay by $12,760. Second was Jeff Plale (D-South Milwaukee) -- whose biggest piece of legislation was a bill to privatize the Milwaukee County airport and spent a lot of time on the commuter rail issue-- who declared 126 days for $11,088.
Senators running competitive campaigns didn't finish entirely at the bottom. That award was left to Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin), who declared a mere 60 days on the job in Madison. Alberta Darling -- facing a tough re-election fight with Wasserman -- spent 73 days in Madison. Lena Taylor, the Milwaukee Democrat running for county executive, declared 113 days in Madison last year.
Bill Targeting Teachers Advances: State Sen. Glenn Grothman is pretty happy that his bill making it substantially easier to fire teachers has passed an Assembly committee. The West Bend Republican calls his bill the "Every Child Deserves a Great Teacher" bill.
The thrust is basically to take away union protection from teachers and make it easy to fire those deemed "unsatisfactory." It would require two years of documented "unsatisfactory" performance, although offers little explanation of what that means, since terms of dismissal are usually in the teachers' contract.
Keeping good teachers in the classroom is a noble cause for sure, but there are other caveats involved when trying to treat teachers as "at will" employees. They deserve some respect, after all.
"In the real world, most people are at will employees. If a legislator introduced a bill making it this difficult to fire an employee at a car wash, a lawn care service or a burger stand, the business community would rightly be outraged in that quality of lawn care, car washes or fast food would get worse and the cost would go up," he says in a statement.
"Nevertheless, we continue with a system in which education is thought to be less important than say, car washes or lawn care. A system in which the 'rights' of employees are considered more important than the 'rights' of students is scandalous."
The bill would likely pass the GOP-controlled Assembly, but the Democrat-controlled Senate isn't going to look on this with too much praise.

No one is more independent then Joe Lieberman. One year, he'll run as former Vice President Al Gore's running mate; another year, he'll throw his support behind John McCain and act like 2000 never happened. The senator from Connecticut is a true maverick but, this election cycle, he's calling it quits.
Today, on "Fox News Sunday," he declared to whoever was listening that he would not get involved in the 2012 election: "I think this year, when it comes to the presidential election, I'm just going to do what most Americans do: go in the voting booth on election day and in the privacy of the booth cast my vote." This will be the last year for Lieberman in office, also; the senator is not seeking re-election after 24 years in office.

You have to wonder sometimes who comes up with the stuff in the news these days when it comes to Hugo Chávez.
The October 21 issue of Parade Magazine dismissed the perception that Venezuela under the leadership of Chávez is all that bad.
"Instead, trade between the two [United States and Venezuela] is soaring, with our exports tripling between 2003 and 2006," Parade said. "Car sales to Venezuela grew from $9.3 million to $323.9 million, where exports of computers and related accessories rose more than 400% and organic chemicals increased 800%."
If trade between the United States and Venezuela is so wonderful, why are there so many economic issues plaguing the Chávez socialist regime? Why are many Venezuelans fleeing the country and inflation rising at an incredible 18 percent per year?
Parade also pointed out how much U.S. oil comes from Chávez's nation: "During the same period [from 2003 to 2006], U.S. imports from Venezuela more than doubled, fueled by the purchase of more than $27 billion of crude oil in 2006."
However, the article missed the central point – the dollar amount of oil imports has increased because the price of oil has increased. But according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the amount of oil imported from Chávez's socialist nation has decreased – from 569 million barrels of oil in 2005 to 518 million barrels in 2006. The United States is on pace to import 494 million for 2007.

Mount Logan is serious wilderness. Not wilderness with trails and wildflowers, but WILDERNESS. Like nobody there. For 16 days of our 21-day trip we had Logan to ourselves. Why? Because Logan is the second highest mountain in North America. At 19,550 feet, Logan is shorter than Alaska's Denali at 20,320 feet. So who cares about something that's second? Me! And three customers and guide Tino Villaneuva.
Climbing Mount Logan via the King Trench route is similar to Denali's West Buttress. But without the safety net of hundreds of people, helicopters, medical personel and rangers, Logan is a notch more serious. Our 3-week trip was an adventure, meaning it had an unknown outcome. We found little information about the route and just waited each day to see where our route would go and where we'd camp.
Mount Logan is a long, high altitude trudge. Roped together, we hauled sleds and double-carried most of the route. I recommend the Osprey Aether 85 for expeditions on my gear list for clients and everyone on our team had the Aether 85. They are AWESOME expedition packs!
Finally, after battling up the MacCarthy Gap at 14,000 feet, we reached the summit of Mount Logan in Canada on June 15 at 5 p.m. Our summit day was 15 hours long and freeeeezing cold. We managed to pull our facemasks down a few minutes for the photo above. See more Logan photos on Joe's blog.

In his introduction to the English translation of This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen, Jan Kott writes of Tadeusz Borowski's decision to render his Auschwitz stories in the first person: "The identification of the author with the narrator was the moral decision of a prisoner who had lived through Auschwitz—an acceptance of mutual responsibility, mutual participation, and mutual guilt for the concentration camp." Indeed, in a review for another author's book about the concentration camps, Borowski stated, "It is impossible to write about Auschwitz impersonally." He defined as the "first duty of Auschwitzers ... to make clear just what camp is." It is where survival depended on a prisoner's taking part in the murder and degradation of their fellow victims. "But write that you, you were the ones who did this," Borowski intoned. "That a portion of the sad fame of Auschwitz belongs to you as well."
In the collection's title story, Borowski squarely fulfills his obligation. Seen through the eyes of a Polish gentile prisoner, as Borowski himself was, "This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen" describes a typical day at Auschwitz. The narrator joins in the task of unloading thousands of Jews from the cattle cars and sending them to their death in the gas chamber, all to acquire food and maybe a pair of shoes. Subject matter aside, Borowski's story is chilling and unforgettable in the success with which the narrator distances himself from his actions. As readers grow to understand that the narrator is forced to this extreme in order to continue to perform the work that guarantees his own existence, they become implicated themselves—they become part of the community of the concentration camp.

The year was 1961. It was an era of happy motoring. Gas price was 27.9 cents a gallon and if you ordered a full tank of gas, a group of nattily-uniformed attendants would check your oil level, the charge in your battery, the air pressure in your tires and clean your windows while pumping the gas.
Pumping gas and repairing cars has been a daily routine and a life-long occupation for Don Yeoman, founder of Yeoman Service Center. Beginning in the 1950s he worked for Ed Parrish at the service station on the corner of Hanna and Oxford. In 1961 he ventured out on his own to Waynedale providing service through the Fleet –Wing Station located on Lower Huntington Road next to the railroad tracks across from Hills Meat Market, now COE Heating and Air. In 1963, Yeoman Service Center, now an incorporated full service station, moved to 540 East Pettit Avenue. Around the late 60s and early 70s, the "team" of attendants became one, but they still provided the prompt courteous service of pumping your gas, which would amount to say 6 bucks to fill up a 4-door Chevy, wash the windshield, and most of the time if you wanted them to they were happy to check the oil and tire pressure.
The Phillips 66 shield provided the long past era of pumping gas and providing full-service to customers until 2002.
It was a family business. Alongside his dad, at the age of 11, Dan Yeoman starting pitching in, standing on pop cases he would wash a customer's windows, then clean the restrooms and repair tires. As time went on he learned to repair radiators, rebuild carburetors, perform valve jobs, and more. Today, he owns and has run this business for the past 24 years.
Remember when the price of petroleum in 1973 was $3.01? Not the price of gas but the price of petroleum. According to a book, The Gas Station In America, it was the price of a standard 42 gallon barrel (each barrel produced 19 gallons of gas, plus 9 gallons of diesel, 4 gallons of jet fuel, plus other products) of crude oil! Gas wars and gas rationing began to happen. That was when Yeoman's started focusing on specializing in radiators, brakes, alignments and custom exhaust repair.
In December 2002 the Yeoman family business decided to permanently remove the gas tanks from the ground. Then, they slowly began to renovate and upgrade their business. Currently, five ASE Certified automotive technicians are available to assist you in your vehicle repair specializing in all the technical components of today's cars like computer programming, domestic vehicles drivability problems, electrical faults, hard to find intermittent electric problems, transmission diagnosis, premium brake service, maintenance, alignment, air conditioning and oil changes.
Dan, Carol (Dan's wife) and their son Donny make it their family business. When you call for service, you are talking to one of the owners.
Today, the three generation business, Yeoman Service Center, 540 East Pettit, celebrates 50 years of specializing in automotive service and repairs-friendly, courteous and professional.
From the gas crunch, carburetors to fuel injection, drum brakes to disc brakes, and programming computers Yeoman Service Center delivers the difference. With their experienced staff, dedicated employees and history you expect more from Yeoman Service Center. Important thing is – you get it!
Along with the experienced service a courtesy shuttle is available for taking you to work or back home and to pick you up when your vehicle is ready. A 2-year 24,000 mile warranty and free roadside assistance also accompanies your package of repair services.
As they would say in the 60s – Happy Motoring!
Editor's Note: Yeoman Service Center will be celebrating their 50 year anniversary with a month long of specials and on July 31 from 11a – 2p a day with free lunch, prizes and giveaways. They would like to thank you so much for your loyalty and business over the years. As a token of their appreciation they would like to invite you for lunch, free giveaways, and special offers to say thank you. Please call (260) 456-2169 for more information or see the ad in this edition of The Waynedale News for more information.

RESULTS: Do You Support Amendment 66?
Coloradoans have a chance to vote for a school funding amendment this November 5, 2013. Amendment 66, which would increase taxes for public school funding.
At a taxpayer cost of just under $1 billion, Amendment 66 would trigger a revamp of school financing in Colorado. A typical household in the state would fork over $133 a year, proponents estimate.
Critics argue that increasing taxes while the state's economy wrestles with economic recovery is a bad idea, adding that most of the money won't trickle down to teachers and students, adding there are no guarantees of performance.
How would YOU vote?
We asked visitors at 600kcol.com, to select their vote choice on how they would vote for the measure if the election was held today. Over 92% said they would NOT support the school tax initiative, while only 8% said they would vote in favor of the tax.

The Gallery at Tacoma Community College is showing its 11th Annual Juried Local Art Exhibition. The TCC show is the best chance to view some of the finest of what area artists, (ranging from Seattle to Olympia), have to offer. There are other shows of local art: the annual art show at the state fair in Puyallup, for example, is almost totally wide open to artists of every skill level (which is part of the charm of the show). At the other end of the spectrum, there is Tacoma Art Museum's Northwest Biennial. TAM's definition of the geographic boundaries of the northwest, however, includes Montana and California and the curatorial screens are so finely meshed that their "local" show comes across as cerebral and highfalutin.
TCC's annual show of local art is in the Goldilocks spot: not as wide open as the state fair, not as hoity-toity at TAM's biennial. This year's offering contains work by more that 40 artists working in the standard range of media: painting, drawing, print, sculpture, ceramics and photography. What follows is a mini-tour of some of the highlights of the show. There is so much to see that it would take a small book to engage every item on display.
Painters make up the majority of artists represented in the exhibition. There are small, intimate works that invite the viewer in for closer inspection, and there are gigantic canvases that take up huge chunks of wall space. Nathan Barnes is one of the latter with his large, slightly surreal scene of a possible hobo in an industrial district contemplating a young woman in a blue dress who appears in a state of ecstasy. Tacoma artist William Turner also works at a fairly large scale with his semi-abstract landscapes like "Caliente." Former TCC faculty member Frank Dippolito presents a series of watercolors that are impressions of atmospheric conditions and moody cloud formations.
Thomas Nguivoum, originally from central Africa, is a life-long painter. His "The Flute Player" is a charming scene of an Orpheus-like flute player surrounded by sculptural animals. Exotic trees and round, thatch-roofed huts are in the background. Nguivoum's colors are a rich, murky blend that creates a twilight atmosphere. Alain Clerc's obsession with big slices of watermelon pays off big with his delightful "Green Dog," a big, green doggie that is bursting with good cheer as it bites into a big slice of melon. The painter Jason Sobottka is perhaps the star of the show with "Deer with Pitcher Plants." This horizontal canvas depicts several deer with unusual plant forms growing from their backs. Some areas are left as if unfinished. Some areas are broken into colorful facets. One trapezoidal space is done in purple glitter, a stunt that would seem over the top if attempted by a less sure-footed painter. Sobottka is so balanced and self-assured, however, that he can pull off such high wire tactics successfully.
Amongst the drawings in the show, one of the finest is "Lost" by Korean-American artist Patsy Surh O'Connell. This is a wonderful portrait of a crow set amidst a surrounding of dried leaves. Everything is crisp and concise and vivid. Former University of Puget Sound instructor Bill Colby is Tacoma's master of the woodcut print. His several prints in the show feature natural wood grains, images of pine boughs and birds. His use of colored inks makes his works festive.
Sculptors include the likes of Ron Hinson, Gerry Sperry and Nathan Barnes all of whom have contributed wall-mounted, three-dimensional work. David Murdach's "Drone (the magnificent killing machine)," composed of a variety of fancy, found objects, looks like a Victorian era rocket ship. Marilyn Mahoney's "New Orleans Band" is a row of spontaneously formed, bronze-cast figurines of musicians and marchers in a parade. They seem like rustic antiques; loose and lumpy. The inclusion of a funny little cat in the procession is a whimsical touch.
There are a few artists in the show who work in ceramics: Michael Topolski has three eastern-influenced, lidded vessels. Two of these have the rustic, random glaze resulting from molten ash flow of a wood fired kiln. Laura Hoivik has several of her comical ceramic animals in this exhibit. Her free-form style and use of colorful glazes and playful patterns hearken back to the "funk movement" that was prevalent among some ceramics artists of the 1960s and 70s. Her work is comparable to that of Clayton Bailey, one of the foremost proponents of funk art.
This is by no means an exhaustive survey. There are many more highlights to see in this show. TCC's Juried Local Art Exhibition should be an annual pilgrimage for everyone interested in getting a glimpse of what's coming out of little studios in our midst. The show runs through Oct. 18.

When doing work in liminal geography (nee psychogeography) patterns of things are bound to appear. What those patterns are and how they manifest themselves depend on the individual, the environment one is working in, and even something as simple as one's mood at the time. Once, on an algorhythmic walk (Right/Left/Right, in this case), I noticed very early on in the walk that I was seeing yellow arrows everywhere, painted on the concrete, on walls, and even one sticker pointing upwards towards a possible point of interest. On another walk I became aware of posters for lost dogs, on another the ironic logos that places that sell meat use to advertise their wares: dancing cartoon pigs, giant fiberglass cattle, etc. Sometimes these patterns appear over greater distance and time, seen on many different adventures over many years. One such pattern that many researchers have noticed is the ubiquitous Muffler Man.
We refer to these patterns as "liminal clusters". These clusters can take the form of objects as noted above, or can be sound patterns, smells, or feelings. The possible range of liminal clusters is only limited by the ability of the human mind to find connections between things.

The Liminal Geographic Society
The Liminal Geographic Society was formed to promote research in the emerging field of liminal geography (also known to some as psychogeography, deep topography, and by other names as well.) To date, the majority of the research done in this field has taken place in urban areas, and the majority of that in the United Kingdom, particularly greater London. One of the main goals of the Liminal Geographic Society is to promote research in other parts of the world as well as in rural or semi-rural areas.

->''Beta's Note: Hello again. Turns out that even after the last ordeal, she still wants to write this crap. I apologize ahead of time. On the bright side she seems to have gotten over the need to write 'Geddit' after every time she wrote 'sad' or something equally stupid.''
-->-- The stories beta reader, who's also the authors sister
[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3309723/1/ 1000TearzOrDeth]] is a ''Literature/HarryPotter'' Fanfic about an emo american girl at Hogwarts with an OverlyLongName, written by a [[SmallNameBigEgo rude author]] who loves to insult prepz. Yes, it's a clone [[MyImmortal of the most infamous Fanfic ever]]. Somehow, the [[UpToEleven spelling and grammar manages to be even worse than that of its spiritual predecessor]], although the snarky comments of the [[SnarkKnight beta reader]] and her grammar improved version of the text are worth reading.
!!This work provides examples of:
* CostumePorn
* DeadpanSnarker - The beta reader, who's also the authors sister, until she just gave up and stopped even reading the story.
* HurricaneOfPuns - Obligatory for a ''MyImmortal'' clone. Yes, they are pointed out.
* HollywoodNerd: Has them added to the goth vs prep dynamic, though mostly it's just complimentary to the goth.
* JerkJock - The fic introduces "joks" to the [[MyImmortal now standard]] preps vs. goths dynamic.
* NobleWolf - A [[DirtyCoward supposedly cool]] one appears in the first chapter to deliver the protagonist the letter from Hogwarts. An owl like everyone else wasn't good enough.
* OverlyLongName - Atera Darkness Amy Nny Gerard Klesa Quella Elddir, although everyone calls her Amy.
* StealthParody - It's quite possible that the author wrote both the terrible story ''and'' the snarky comments of her ''sister'' to make fun of [[MyImmortal My Immortal]].
* TrollFic - Likely, because it resembles ''MyImmortal'' in many ways. Officially, it's basically a [[MyImmortal Raven/Tara]] scenario where the "Raven" is the "Tara's" older sister. The final chapter lacks the supposed beta and has the author act more apologetically and mature, so it might be genuine.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry - The [[SmallNameBigEgo author]] and her [[SnarkKnight sister]].

Pros: Safe and easy to use.
Cons: Limited volume for large gatherings
If all it did was turkey, I wouln't have bothered. But I have done turkey, chickens, burgers, salmon, chops, pork tenderloin, beef tenderloin, shish kabob....you name it. The food comes out nice and crisp on the outside, tender and juicy on the inside. Safe and easy to use, no worries about boil over or spilling hot oil and burning the place down. It's a must have for your outdoor cooking arsenal.

Côte d'Azur[1] was a coastal city that was the main population center of Sigma Octanus IV, a UEG colony world in FLEETCOM Sector Three. The population of Côte D'Azur was estimated to be 300,000, nearly all of whom were killed during the Battle of Sigma Octanus IV.
On July 17, 2552, the Covenant launched a small attack against the Sigma Octanus system in the hopes of retrieving a Forerunner artifact that was on display at the Côte d'Azur Museum of Natural History on the surface of Sigma Octanus IV. When the Covenant invaded Côte d'Azur, they killed the entire population, save for twenty civilians (some of whom were wounded) who hid in a cargo ship.[1] It is assumed that these twenty are the only to have survived.
The Covenant were in the process of securing the artifact and relaying messages to the ships above when the SPARTAN-II Blue Team entered the city. Blue Team managed to retrieve the artifact, save the remaining civilians, and escape back to their Pelican Dropship. Upon entering the Pelican and exiting the atmosphere, John-117 detonated a HAVOK Nuclear Warhead underneath the city streets, which destroyed the city and prevented the Covenant from finding anything else of value.
Sigma Octanus IV and the remnants of Côte d'Azur still remain under human control.[1]
Infrastructure Edit
Sections Edit
Côte d'Azur's citizens grew rice paddies outside of the city. The main sections in the interior of Côte d'Azur were the wharf and bay areas, the residential section, the downtown, and the docks.
Water Drainage Edit
Côte d'Azur had a sewer system under the city. The sewer systems had steel pipes running along the top of the plastic conduits. The sewer systems had a two meter diameter pipe, with a steel grate, on the beach side near the edge of the city.[1]
Lighting Edit
The inhabitants used sodium vapor lamps, which washed everything above with an eerie glow.
- The city was probably named after the real Côte d'Azur, a region in the south-east of France.
- "Cote d'Azur" is French for "blue coast" and is the French name for the French Riviera.
- This was apparently the first contact that Blue Team had with Hunters, as they had to improvise to defeat them. After their armor-piercing bullets had no effect, John ordered the Spartans to switch to shredder rounds and shoot out the floor that the Hunters were standing on, dropping them to the floor below and allowing Blue Team to escape with the Forerunner artifact.
- However, this seems to contradict the fact that John-117 had to fight Hunters during the Battle of Circinius IV in 2526

April 10, 7:00 PM at Southside Works Cinema
Director Dana Goren will make a special appearance to introduce her film!
Screening followed by a Q&A Session with Dana Goren and Closing Night Reception.
Presented in conjunction with the Jewish and Israeli Film Festival.
"Diplomat is an emotional and breathtaking feature documentary that takes the viewer deep into the corridors and rooms that no one ever sees." --Variety
2010 50th Krakow Film Festival, Poland
2009 Best Documentary, Wolgin Award at the Jerusalem International Film Festival
2009 Official Selection, CZDOC International Film Festival, China
2009 Special Mention, Rehovot International Women Film Festival, Israel 2009
The luxurious Hotel Diplomat in Jerusalem once known for its green lawns, elaborate corridors and see-and-be seen club has become an absorption center, a place where time has come to a standstill. For nearly 20 years its 700 rooms have been home to 600 immigrants from the former Soviet Union. Never having integrated into Israeli society, its residents have created their own little island, secluded from the outside world. Many of them never leave the haven of its walls. After all, even their most basic needs like medical care and cultural activities can be provided for by their neighbors down the hall in their own language, Russian.
Dana Goren
graduated as a director and screenwriter from the notorious Sam Spiegel Film and Television School of Jerusalem with excellence, in 2002. Throughout her filmography, Goren explores the concept of Identity in a changing and immigrants societies. Also her interest lies upon subjects such as elderly; loneliness and a search for a common ground, and a key element in her work is music exploring. Her work, which is referred to as cinematic and groundbreaking includes Contrapunkt and Yukali.

The Big Tax News while I was on vacation was the Halbig decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The decision holds invalid the IRS decision allowing tax credit subsidies for policies purchased on federal insurance exchanges. The impact of the decision was offset by a Fourth Circuit decision the same day coming to the opposite conclusion, but it is still a big deal, especially in light of some subsequent events.
The D.C. circuit has national implications because
every taxpayer can come under its jurisdiction by litigating through the Court of Federal Claims. An alert reader corrects me:
Your post today contains an error. The D.C. circuit is not the same as the federal circuit. The court of federal claims is appealable to the federal circuit. The district court for the D.C. circuit is appealable to the D.C. circuit. Halbig is a big deal in any event because the dc circuit instructed the district court to vacate the rule. Vacated means that there is no rule anywhere. In any event, SCOTUS will make the final call here.
As long as that decision stands — and the IRS will certainly ask the 15-member court to reconsider Halbig, decided by a three-member panel — it threatens not only the tax credits for the 37 states without their own exchanges, but it also invalidates the employer mandate tax in those states and takes much of the bite out of the individual mandate. The South Carolina Policy Council explains why (my emphasis):
The subsidies are also important for their function as triggers of both the individual and employer mandate portions of the ACA. The ACA imposes a $2,000 per employee penalty for companies with more than 50 employees who do not offer "adequate health insurance" to their workers. This penalty is triggered when an employee accepts an IRS subsidy on a plan purchased through an exchange. If individuals in the 36 states without a state-run exchange are ineligible for subsidies, there will be no trigger to set off the employer mandate.
An absence of subsidies would also allow many people to avoid the ACA's individual mandate, which requires citizens to maintain health insurance covering certain minimum benefits or pay a fine. This is because the ACA exempts citizens from the individual mandate whose out-of-pocket costs for health insurance exceed 8 percent of their household income. If IRS subsidies are removed, insurance plans offered on exchanges would exceed this cost threshold for many people – thereby providing them an exemption from the mandate.
This would devastate the already shaky economics of Obamacare.
The key ruling in Halbig is its finding that statutory language allowing tax credits through exchanges "established by a State" doesn't cover the federal exchanges that are used in the 36 states without exchanges. Critics of Halbig say that Congress couldn't have been that stupid. For example, Jonathan Gruber, an architect of the ACA, says ""Literally every single person involved in the crafting of this law has said that it`s a typo, that they had no intention of excluding the federal states."
That assertion has been challenged by a number of observers, notes Megan McArdle. She cites a January 2012 speech by one Jonathan Gruber, an architect of the ACA:
Only about 10 states have really moved forward aggressively on setting up their exchanges. A number of states have even turned down millions of dollars in federal government grants as a statement of some sort — they don't support health care reform.
Now, I guess I'm enough of a believer in democracy to think that when the voters in states see that by not setting up an exchange the politicians of a state are costing state residents hundreds and millions and billions of dollars, that they'll eventually throw the guys out. But I don't know that for sure. And that is really the ultimate threat, is, will people understand that, gee, if your governor doesn't set up an exchange, you're losing hundreds of millions of dollars of tax credits to be delivered to your citizens. [emphasis added]
The 2012 Jonathan Gruber repeated the story that only state-established exchanges qualify for credits in other forums. It's remarkable that two ACA architects named Jonathan Gruber have such divergent views of what the bill does. It's even more remarkable that they are the same guy. This seems like strong support for the D.C. Circuit's approach.
If the ACA were just another tax bill, it would be pretty easy to predict that the Supreme Court would go with the D.C. Circuit's approach, based on prior rulings involving statutes that reached results the IRS didn't care for. In the Gitlitz case, which arguably provided an unintended windfall for S corporation shareholders when the S corporation incurred non-taxable debt forgiveness income, the Supreme Court said in an 8-1 decision (footnotes and citations omitted, emphasis added):
Second, courts have discussed the policy concern that, if shareholders were permitted to pass through the discharge of indebtedness before reducing any tax attributes, the shareholders would wrongly experience a "double windfall": They would be exempted from paying taxes on the full amount of the discharge of indebtedness, and they would be able to increase basis and deduct their previously suspended losses. Because the Code's plain text permits the taxpayers here to receive these benefits, we need not address this policy concern.
In other words, if Congress doesn't like what it has done, it's up to Congress to fix it, not the IRS. Congress did just that with the Gitlitz result within a year of the decision.
Of course, the ACA isn't typical tax legislation. Chief Justice Roberts tied himself in knots to find a way to uphold Obamacare in 2012. Politics makes it unlikely that the Gitlitz approach will be followed by the left side of the Supreme Court, and who knows how Justice Roberts will rule. But it does appear at least possible that Halbig will be upheld.
What should taxpayers do? My thought is to assume the mandates remain in effect and pay tax (or reduce your withholding) accordingly. Then be prepared to file a refund claim if Halbig is upheld by the Supreme Court. Plan for the worst and hope for the best.
At least one thoughtful commentator says that ultimately if Halbig is upheld, holdout states will fall into line and establish exchanges. For the reasons laid out here, I don't think that will happen, and Congress will be forced to clean up its mess.

David Brunori, Who Wants to Tax a Millionaire? Lots of People (Tax Analysts Blog). This is full fo good observations about the unwisdom of states soaking the "rich." Highlights include:
States do not (and should not) do a lot of redistributing to the very poor.
When states jack up taxes on the "rich," the money doesn't exactly go to people sleeping under bridges, as David explains (my emphasis):
I have written about this before. I noted that "the real beneficiaries of most government spending, certainly at the state level, never come up. No one ever says that we need higher taxes because my friends in the construction business want new contracts. No one ever says that they want new taxes to expand bloated public employee union bureaucracies. Yes, crony capitalism and union bosses drive most calls for higher taxes." My right-wing friends often criticize liberals calling for higher marginal taxes as delusional. But they know exactly what they're doing. Often they want higher taxes just so they can give money to their friends.
The money taken from "the rich" goes to the well-connected. Iowa's highest-in-the-nation system fleeces those without pull to pay rich subsidies to well-connected politicians and corporations. Better to throw out the crony subsidies and lower rates for the rest of us — like The Tax Update's Quick and Dirty Tax Reform Plan would do.

Joseph Thorndike, The Corporate Income Tax Will Never Be 'Fixed.' And That's OK. (Tax Analysts Blog):
Again, I think the corporate income tax is on the way out. But that's a long-term problem. It doesn't mean we should throw in the towel right away. The corporate tax may, as McArdle suggests, be an "insane, unwinnable chess game" pitting lawyers against tax collectors. But for the time being, the game is still worth the candle.
I think Megan McArdle has the better case, that the corporation income tax needs to go away, one way or the other. I like the idea of doing so via a corporation dividends-paid deduction, combined with an excise tax on dividends for otherwise-exempt stockholders, as a way to get there.

text: Hometown role modelsEditor:In today's society where young children long for individuals to look up to, it is great to see real role models right here in our hometown.The Wooster Generals' football team had a great season. However, what will always be remembered is how they created hope and dreams for young kids by not just how they played the game, but by their time spent off the field. Coaching younger kids, playing pickup games with children on Saturday afternoons or just giving the youth of our neighborhoods their attention and time.Thank you, Generals, for capturing our children's hearts and imagination. Again, congratulations on a great season.Ray HartmannWoosterAmerica has spoken, but is Bush listening?Editor:"America has spoken." Our re-elected president now says these words, and we hear them on every news show on every channel. We have spoken. We listened to multiple recorded messages daily telling us how to speak. We received multiple glossy ads in each day's mail. We received instructions in a wearisome number of ads in every media for weeks. Now we have spoken.What did we say? Many of my good, sincere and trusting Christian brothers and sisters said, "Yes, Mr. Bush, we believe you are also a Christian, and we believe that your stance on the moral issues agrees with ours." I love these people, and I pray their decision was the right one. Some of my staunch Republican friends said, "You are a Republican, and I agree with the Republican Party." I love these people, too, and I pray that they also made the right decision.Others spoke with their votes to say they agreed with the current foreign policy or the current economic situation and want these to continue for the next four years. Still other votes were merely voices against the opposing candidate. Again, I pray these people chose wisely."America has spoken." The voice I hear says, "We still love our country, and we want to have a moral and upright nation. We want to stand proudly. We want work to do and a safe place to live. We see growing numbers of empty, silent factories with weed-infested parking lots, and we're afraid. We want to be able to afford to live when we are old or when we are sick. We feel uneasy, and we want to feel secure again. We want our grandchildren to have the options we have now or remember having. We're trying to make the right decisions to make this happen." The voice of America did not give either candidate an overwhelming victory. If this is the voice President Bush hears, he should also hear another voice. This one will be a mere whisper in his ear. If he's quiet, he will hear it. This voice is telling him what America is really saying. It's telling him to be the man that half the voters hoped for and the other half believes he will never be. He has four years to prove one half to be correct and the other half to be wrong.Carol BotkinOrrville

Most executives approach the annual general meeting season with some trepidation. But not
The Bank of Queensland managing director was in fine form at his company's AGM in Brisbane yesterday and even declared with much gusto to the crowd: "I do really love AGM day."
So much so that the meeting descended into some sort of game show where prizes were given away to the audience.
BoQ has been trying to promote one if its new accounts, which gives away $20,000 to one lucky account holder every month.
So excited was Liddy about the topic that he organised to open said accounts for four lucky shareholders in the audience – who would know they won the prize by checking for a large envelope under their seats.
It took a bit of time to find the lucky winners – Liddy did growl "BoQ directors or staff members need not look under their seats please" – but eventually three were found. We hope a fourth was located, although it was unclear at first whether that was the case. But Liddy kept grinning throughout the search.
The prize winners got the account with $250 placed in it, which will come in handy considering BoQ's share price slid a fair bit yesterday thanks to a pesky profit downgrade announced just before the meeting.
Investors didn't give Liddy and chairman Neil Summerson too much of a hard time though, except for one investor who lamented most of the board were not Queenslanders.
Summerson happily concurred, saying: "I too am a proud Queenslander, born and bred here."
Good to see that old State of Origin parochialism also has a place in the corporate world.
Summerson said he also hoped the next BoQ board member appointed will be a female from the Sunshine State.

The Baltimore Ravens came out of their week one matchup against the Denver Broncos pretty banged up with injuries to WR/KR Jacoby Jones and RT Michael Oher. There was some good news to come out of the castle yesterday in regards to injury updates.
Jones was injured on a punt return when rookie Brynden Trawick inadvertently ran into Jones buckling his leg that caused a sprained MCL and over the weekend it was reported that Jones would miss four to six weeks. Head Coach John Harbaugh was not definite in his time table for Jones return as he stated,
"We'll see how that goes with Jacoby," Harbaugh said. "He has a sprain. It's not a serious-type thing. But we'll just have to see how that goes. It's day-to-day, week-to-week, and we'll see how fast he can come back."
Oher was also injured in the Broncos game, and he too was inadvertently hit by his own teammate when Marshal Yanda was knocked into Oher's legs and he suffered an ankle injury. Oher's injury is not thought to be no where near the severity of Jones, but Oher's status is still uncertain. Despite criticism of his play when he was at left tackle, Oher has been very consistent as he has never missed a game in his career.
"Diagnosis is the same with Michael Oher," Harbaugh said. "Day-to-day, week-to-week."
It was one of the more well kept secrets of the injury world as Jones was inactive for week one, but no one new why, other than that it was a non-football injury and he was seeing doctors. Over the weekend, the Baltimore Sun reported that Jones was suffering from a viral infection near his heart, and Jones stated on Twitter
"Thank you Lord for the amazing news today," Jones wrote on his Twitter account. "I don't know where I would be with out you. :-) Thank you everyone who kept me in their prayers. The big man upstairs answered."
Jones has been cleared by doctors to resume activity and Harbaugh was happy to hear the good news,
"Arthur went and saw a specialist. Without getting into the details, I'm going to leave that up to Arthur, but it was very positive, good news," Harbaugh said. "It seems to have cleared up. He should be good and we'll just have to see how ready he is to play this week. That obviously will be the issue football-wise. We'll just see how ready he is to play. Can't make a prediction on that."
Thompson has been sidelined since the first preseason game as he has been dealing with a foot injury, and with the uncertainty at wide receiver, getting Thompson back could be a benefit to the Ravens. Harbaugh said that Thompson is getting close, but his availability for this Sunday is still unknown at this point.
Baltimore hopes to get some good news as the week progresses as they continue to prepare for the Cleveland Browns in their home opener on Sunday.

If you have selfsigned this cert, you could import your certificate in

Wolf expects business acumen to give him edge with Pa. voters
History and prosperity play a part in Tom Wolf's bid to govern Pennsylvania.
A former Department of Revenue secretary and one of five Democrats seeking the party's nomination in May to run against Republican Gov. Tom Corbett in November, Wolf, 65, said he finds inspiration in historical biographies of past leaders, citing Pittsburgh native David McCullough's "Truman" as among his favorites.
"It plays a big role in why I am running," said Wolf, a Mt. Wolf businessman who lives in a family homestead built in the 1850s in a York County town named for his family.
As president and CEO of the family company, The Wolf Organization, a supplier of kitchen and bath cabinetry, he is a multimillionaire. But you wouldn't know it, said childhood friend Ronald Toomey, 85, a retired music teacher who lives about two blocks from Wolf.
"He's just a very nice man. He is a man of his word," Toomey said. "A handshake is a contract. He treats his employees as he would treat a friend."
In television ads he has run since January, Wolf emphasizes his "smart business" approach, saying he shares 20 percent to 30 percent of profits with employees because it's the right thing to do. "I've always believed prosperity is only real when it's shared broadly," he says on camera. "That's true in my company, and it's true in an economy the size of Pennsylvania."
This is Wolf's first try at public office, though he toyed with the idea before.
"He has a great story to tell, and once people hear it, they will understand why he stands apart from the rest of the pack," said Ron Klink, a former Democratic congressman from Murrysville.
Klink said Wolf's business acumen gives him an edge with Western Pennsylvania voters: "We are people who make things in Western Pennsylvania. When they see someone who knows how to create jobs and turn decline around, voters will pay attention."
More than a businessman
More than the other candidates, Wolf has the means to get his story out — and early polling showed his television ads were well-received by voters, placing him in the lead. He's not shy about talking about $10 million he put into his campaign this year, a decision with which his wife Frances agreed, he said.
He's spending his money, Wolf said, to "overcome the disadvantage I have — name recognition — compared to some of the other elected officials in the race."
Wolf's personal story is not just the success of his family business, where he started as a forklift driver and worked up to owner. He and two cousins purchased the company with a loan at market value; the family did not believe in inherited wealth, he said.
His civic involvement is wide-ranging: Peace Corps service in India, chairing the Chamber of Commerce and the United Way in York County, serving on an economic development board for the late Gov. Bob Casey, and a legislative commission on urban schools.
In 2009, Wolf decided to make a run for governor and hired a campaign team. He intended to announce once he returned from President Obama's inaugural festivities in Washington, but a phone call changed his path. The company he had sold in 2006 was on the verge of bankruptcy.
"I went back, bought it back, stabilized it, blew it up and changed it to a different, very successful company," he said.
Today, the company has nearly 260 nonunion, profit-sharing employees and a presence in about 30 states, employing 140 workers. Wolf resigned as CEO in December.
He believes his business prowess puts him ahead of his competitors in the governor's race: "I have actually made executive decisions."
GOP takes notice
Wolf, who was revenue secretary for 18 months under former Gov. Ed Rendell, said his best accomplishment remains in place. He spent months talking with employees, asking for their input on how to improve the bureaucracy of a department whose functions include overseeing the Pennsylvania Lottery. The result was a five-year plan that he said survives him.
The Republican Party of Pennsylvania has taken notice of Wolf.
In February, Communications Director Megan Sweeney released a statement saying the GOP would relate "Tax Man Tom Wolf's" story to voters: "As (ex-Gov.) Ed Rendell's chief tax collector, Tom Wolf fought to raise our sales tax by $1.3 billion and our trash tax by $41 million. When he left state government, Tax Man Tom Wolf left Pennsylvania with a $1.6 billion budget deficit as a parting gift."
Sweeney said Wolf is "running on a tax-and-spend agenda that will raise Pennsylvania's income tax and create new taxes on energy."
Wolf's campaign spokesman, Jeffrey Sheridan, said the "ramped-up attacks confirm what we've said all along: Corbett doesn't want to face Tom Wolf in November. Corbett knows that his record of siding with oil and gas companies over schoolchildren will be on full display.
"Under Corbett, Pennsylvania is the only state that refuses to tax out-of-state oil companies for extracting our natural resources. Under Corbett, big corporations continue to receive tax breaks while working families are stuck with the bill."
Wolf acknowledged that politics can be frustrating — when he served on a Rendell commission on business tax reform in 2004, he recalled, "We came to a unanimous decision to streamline corporate taxation that never went into place."
And like many Pennsylvanians, regardless of party affiliation, Wolf is dismayed by the partisanship in government.
"When you run for office, you are running on a partisan basis," he said, "but when you govern, you do that in the name of everybody."

Damn I love my 'job.' That's what I'm calling this these days. It's not because it feels like work, nor because I'm bringing home a fat paycheck (I'm working on that, though :)). I love my job because I can sit here sipping a strawberry basil mojito because I 'have' to. It's a rough life.
I know I've gone a bit overboard with mojitos recently. First there was the Coconut Raspberry Mojito Jello Shooters, and then there was the Fresh Mint Mojitos, and now a Strawberry Basil Mojito. But I just came back from Cuba, can you blame me?
These babies are like summertime in a glass. Think grass between your toes, warm evenings that go on forever, and the scent on BBQ drifting through your neighbourhood. You can make them by the glass, but I'd make them by the pitcher.
This one's for you, Andy. One day I'd love to take you up on your offer and come back to Costa Rica to try your strawberry mojito. Your food and drinks at Chile Rojo was the best! Cheers 🙂
If you make this Strawberry Basil Mojito make sure you snap a pic and tag @theendlessmeal on Instagram so I can like and comment on your photos. I love seeing TEM recipes you create!
- 3 basil leaves
- 1 shot strawberry simple syrup (see ingredients below)
- ¼ shot lemon juice
- 1 shot white rum
- 2-3 torn basil leaves
- Splash of lemon juice
- Soda water
- Sliced strawberries for garnish
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup white sugar
- 5 strawberries, thinly sliced
- Add the basil leaves, strawberry simple syrup and lemon juice in the bottom of a glass with a little ice.
- Add the rum and top with some soda water. Let the drink stand for 5-10 minutes to allow the basil flavour to infuse.
- Combine the water, sugar and strawberries in a pot and bring it to a boil
- Remove the pot from the heat, cover, and let it stand at room temperature until cool.
- Blend the strawberries and syrup together.

Her official death certificate recorded her occupation as "stateswoman (retired)".
A stateswoman or statesman is one who is intelligently active in work that materially benefits the citizens of a state or nation.
The history of 1860 and the following winter proves that in her the world has lost a stateswoman.
She was willing to essay the rle of stateswoman with no other principle than revenge and no other policy than plunder.
I think you shine as a stateswoman of late, as well as a farmeress.

PA Accusation: US forcing Christianity on Muslims (PMW-PALESTINIAN MEDIA WATCH) By Itamar Marcus & Barbara Crook 04/21/05)
Source: http://www.pmw.org.il
PMW} PALESTINIAN MEDIA WATCH Articles-Index-Top
Palestinian Authority leaders and the official PA media have long presented America as an enemy of Islam and the US war on terror as a war against Islam. This promotion continues unabated today, in spite of the American political and financial support of new PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
This week, a religious leader whose salary is paid by the PA added a new accusation to the standard attacks on American policy by preaching that the US war effort in Iraq and elsewhere, including "Palestine," attempts to force Muslims to convert to Christianity. He said US actions today were crueler than those of a Christian Caesar who, according to Islamic tradition, dipped a Muslim into boiling oil in order to force his conversion to Christianity.
In addition, an old accusation was repeated in an article in the official PA daily this week. The writer states that the true enemy of the Arabs is not Israel but the US, and that Israel is merely an arm of the US in its imperialist wars. In this article the US is accused of "grinding the bones" of Palestinian children, "devouring their eyes."
It is important to note that the inflammatory sermon comes only a few weeks after the PA leadership announced it would review the Friday sermons to remove incitement and hateful content.
The following are the two items from this week´s PA media:
Friday sermon on PA TV
"Our prisoners are subjected to most criminal kinds of physical torture. They are tied with chains and trussed up with iron chains, and hung by their feet from the ceiling, like animals are hung after slaughter for days. Many of them lose consciousness. Our prisoners are exposed to beating, electricity and fire tortures.
"The prisoners are exposed to conversion to Christianity, to abandoning religion, [as it was] in the distant past and recently. Yes, our prisoners are forced to curse Muhammad; our prisoners are forced to curse the religion of Allah, our prisoners are forced to curse the essence of divinity.
"Haven´t you heard of our prisoners [of war] in Palestine, have you not heard of our prisoners in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and all over the world, who are exploited and imprisoned, and are offered conversion to Christianity?
"This is an old - new infidel policy. Allah´s servant, Ibn Al- Hudhafa Al-Sahmi, totally refused this. The [Christian] Caesar told him: ´We shall dip you in boiling oil´. He answered: ´Do as you wish´. He arrived with two Muslims and was dipped in boiling oil until his flesh separated from his bone. But what the Caesar did was not as bad as what his followers do, the missionaries of freedom and democracy of today. In the name of Allah, what Caesar did, dipping Muslims in boiling oil, was one hundred thousand times lighter than what their soldiers are doing today to our wives and daughters in Iraq, in Palestine, in Guantanamo and in Abu Gharib.
"What Caesar did is not as bad as five American soldiers who meet to rape one of our daughters, a girl who has the honor of a Muslim woman, in order to desecrate her honor at the Abu-Gharib prison."
[Sheikh Ibrahim Mudayris, PA TV, April 15, 2005]
Article from official PA daily newspaper
"Seventeen years (since the assassination of the fighter Abu Jihad) that the murderous millstones of America have been turning, grinding the bones of our children and devouring their eyes. Not Israel! There is no such thing called Israel! It is America repeating upon us, the Arabs, the tragedy of the Indians [sic] from the dawn of her [American] history that began with this first crime of genocide."
[Article by Said "Abu Ajima," Al Hayat Al Jadida, April 16, 2005]

The lap is kept moistened with oil and from time to time fresh oil and diamond dust are applied.
It is a trite remark that diamonds can be polished only by diamond dust.
If the motto is made in white wax it should be frosted with diamond dust.
Small tables stood by pine and cedar trees that were covered with alum icicles and sifted over with diamond dust.
The wheel being set up correctly, the next step is to arm it with diamond dust.
But, by skilful use of his magic coil, he gathered up all the diamond dust and carried it back to his cave.
It was playing one against the other, just as diamond dust is used to cut the precious stones of which it once formed a part.
Powdered quartz is generally substituted for diamond dust, but is much less effective.
It looks to me like a golden hoop, with diamond dust inside.
Used to make fine glass; also for a dryer for paints, and sold under the name of diamond dust for razor strops.

Foundation | Blank Canvases | Wood | Artist's Papers | Copper as a Painting Support | Other Supports
Copper as a Painting Support
|I've heard a lot of stories about defeated attempts to paint on copper along with the comment that the lack of porosity in metals makes the bond with a ground uncertain; and that there is no reliable known method to overcome this problem I find this comment debatable. The finished work of art painted on copper provides outstanding results that maintains it's beauty almost indefinitely as proven by many of the Dutch masters. I'm uncertain when the photo was taken but the painting to your left is now 400 yrs. old. I can only wish that I look that good at that age.
Copper panels can stand alone if they are smaller pieces intended to be matted and glazed like paper. It is not recommended to allow large pieces to stand alone since flexing can cause cracks in the paint. It is not recommended to use thicker sheets for larger paintings due to the weight. Even the smaller sheets should have some form of backing when painting and framing.
Thinner gage copper sheets should be laminated to plywood with a polyurethane adhesive such as Elmer's Ultimate or Franklin Titebond to make them extra rigid. These can be purchased at almost any hardware or home improvement center. Rough sand the underside of the copper before gluing to provide bonding tooth. Because poly-glues use moisture to cure be sure to dampen the wood surface with a sponge before applying adhesive.
The key to painting on copper is your initial steps in preparation and if they are missed you'll be headed for serious disappointment. The primary concern is the green or bluish copper carbonates that form on copper, brass, or bronze surfaces. If not sealed off from the elements (no matter how well controlled) this coating of verdigris, which naturally develops as a form of oxidation when exposed to air, will block the bond of your ground eventually causing peeling.
The Dutch masters method was to first clean all trace of grease or dirt with an alcohol solvent then sand the surface with pumice powder "in circular motion" and repeating this cleaning process with solvent to deep clean and provide tooth for the ground. Grain or denatured alcohol is good for this step. Since sandpaper had not been invented as of yet pumice powder was used but, a good fine grade emery cloth will work better. The surface should be absolutely clean and bright. Any solvent residue or grease left on the surface including finger oils from handling are contaminants that will block adhesion. Your final cleaning should be done with a fine grade sandpaper to remove any solvent residue that may remains then wiped clean only with a clean dry rag and/or vacuum.
Next the surface gets rubbed with cloves of garlic. One of the active ingredients in garlic is a cysteine-based sulfur rich amino acid compound called allicin. When crushing the clove a garlic bulb, a protein-based enzyme called alliinase is released converting the compound into a sulfenic acid and is almost spontaneously condensed down to form Allicin, which bears the typical odor of garlic. Highly unstable Allicin rapidly converts to other sulfur-compounds such as Ajoene capable of slowing or preventing oxidation. Allicin and Ajoene are the active ingredients for use with copper preparation. Allicin rich Cysteine residues play a valuable role by cross linking proteins with the blue copper proteins found in verdigris on the surface of copper, where as the proteins containing cysteine will bind with metals such as lead found in your primer. Acid preparation to a surface to aid bonding of paint is known in today's painting industry as etching. Use nothing but garlic after this step. Keep in mind that every chemical you apply at this stage is reactive so any spirits you apply after the fact may turn part of the surface black and/or interfere with the paint bond.
You can crush the cloves in a juicer to a liquid state that could be brushed on sparingly and/or rubbed with a clean rag and allowed to dry. You may also find cold pressed garlic juice in the grocery store in the spice section. A little goes a long way here. This treatment is sort of a damp wiping to treat the surface. Sort of the way you apply wood stain. This is a surface treatment and may feel slightly tacky or textured when dry. However, it should not appear as a built up coat of paint. Garlic contains sulfur compounds which react with copper to form copper sulfate, a deep blue or blue-green compound. The garlic juice will also turn green (develop chlorophyll) if exposed to a change in temperature or if it is exposed to sunlight. Most metals when etched with acidic compounds will produce a surface color change. The stains created indicate that you have been successful with the etching process.
Use of metals as support with glue gesso type grounds will not generally be successful. Acrylic gessoes as well will not adhere properly to any metal surface. This is why with copper an oil based white lead pigment primer should be used. There are hazards to using lead paints so take all safety precautions necessary. Otherwise it is a safe paint to use. Because all metals start to oxidize once exposed to air don't allow too much time between the dry etched copper and the application of your white lead primer. If you are familiar with the process of sweating copper tubing, think of the garlic step as the flux used . The lead in your primer is the solder. So in order to get a strong bond cleanliness and pace are essential. Apply in multiple thinned layers with a hake or roller in a cross hatched pattern to avoid sanding. I prefer to skip use of a traditional gesso since the surface is already smooth and adhesive enough to paint on if primed right but this is my personal choice. You can built a gesso ground if you feel necessary. I've also been working with shellac as a base sealer to paint directly onto copper revealing a transparency effect over the copper on the painting. You can view the preparation of a WIP here.
From here it would be safe to say that you could paint freely with any oil based paint or by using a pre-mixed Maroger's Medium. Similar oil mediums work well at this point. I favor copal varnish resins blended into my oil medium which will be discussed at another time. Keep in mind that your panel is intended for traditional thin layered techniques to take advantage of the smooth surface of copper and that heavy impasto techniques are contradictory to the use of this support.
Note: In an alternate and modern method of painting, copper is also an excellent support for painting with lacquers. Although it is not wise to venture into this medium unless you are willing mix them from scratch and invest in the proper ventilation equipment, I have entered this information in case there was interest. This method would require you to start from bare metal to use a Self-Etching Primer and then apply one or two coats of Urethane Primer. The reason for the urethane primer is that lacquers will dissolve in solvents when dry. You need a cured undercoat in order for it to prevent the lacquers solvent from penetrating into it. Urethane Primer has a high solids content so it cures fast and it is easy to sand to build a durable smooth ground. This painting would have to be sealed again with a urethane clear coat once completed.

A special day has been reserved this month to celebrate Pope St. Pius X.
June 12, the centenary of the saint's death, has been chosen by the Pontifical Committee for Historical Sciences to be a study day dedicated to St. Pius X (1914-2014).
Details about the day, whose theme is "St. Pius X, a reforming pope facing the challenges of the new century," were presented this morning in the Holy See Press Office by Fr. Bernard Ardura O. Praem., president of the pontifical committee, and by Professor Alejandro Mario Dieguez of the Vatican Secret Archive.
"During this day", said Fr. Ardura, "we intend to highlight the principles and pastoral directions of St. Pius X who, throughout all his ministry, was essentially a pastor of souls." He added that "all his efforts in the ecclesial and social fields were dictated by a pastoral realism, oriented towards the renewal of the Christian life of people and communities."
Diguez said the event "will offer an overview of new historical information on this intense and crucial pontificate."
He stated it has "been possible to recover the historical Pius X and not that of myth, the Pius X of ecclesiastical governance and reform, and not that of popular piety, recomposing the complex and fascinating personality of this pontiff."
The professor also added that this has been made possible thanks to the publication of archive sources, with four volumes edited by the Vatican Archive, of profound and systematic research — not only on modernism but also on apostolic visits, codification and the reform of the curia — and study conferences, six over the last twenty-five years. (D.C.L.)

I should probably start by rattling off a lot of generic facts about myself (e.g., I'm a good guy, I'm funny, I'm smart, blah blah blah), but that's crazy boring.
Instead, here are 5 completely random facts that separate me from every other stranger on this site:
1.) I go on at least one massive trip every year. Some years are more exotic than others (one year I dropped everything to go live in New Zealand), but if I don't move around enough, I might die. I'm kind of like a shark... only without the fin... or the gills... or the whole living in the ocean thing.
2.) I used to be (and secretly still am) an adrenaline junkie. I've bungy jumped; I've skydived; I've done aerobatics in a plane; I've free climbed a mountain; I've been white water rafting; I've been sea kayaking; the list goes on and on.
3.) I love playing with a Frisbee. I'm like a little dog. Wave a Frisbee in front of my face, and my tail starts wagging. Apparently, I also really like comparing myself to animals.
4.) I didn't sleep through English class... so I actually know the difference between crowd favorites such as there/their/they're, two/to/too, etc. Does this really belong on the Top 5 list?! I didn't think so... but then I read a few profiles on this site.
5.) I'm kind of a comedy snob. It's not on purpose... but after watching hundreds and hundreds of comedies and hours and hours of stand-up, it just magically happened. If you like terrible comedy, we can still be friends... we just can't date. :-)
Now, if you want to know the really good stuff, you should just contact me.
Longer term, I'm still trying to figure out my true purpose in life. Once upon a time, I was a full-blown workaholic, and I was WAY too focused on professional goals.
Then, I abruptly quit my old life and moved to New Zealand for a year. "What I'm doing with my life" has been a work in progress ever since.
If you want a more detailed answer, feel free to contact me.
Movies: Mallrats, The Big Lebowski, Super Troopers, Money Talks, Made, PCU, and many, many, MANY more (if you haven't noticed, I loves me some comedy)
Shows: Rick and Morty forever and forever! I also love Psych, The League, Archer, and lots of other random stuff I've binge watched over the years.
Music: My favorite Pandora stations are The Roots, The Weeknd, Childish Gambino, etc. I don't have any kids, but I love listening to baby making music... crazy, right?
Food: One of my all-time favorite restaurants was a Thai place in Atlanta, and I almost always took first dates there. Then, I got serious with a girl, and the place closed down! I try not to think about it, but it was probably my fault. Without my steady stream of terrible first dates, they went out of business.
And let's be honest: wouldn't you feel cheated if you took the time to contact me, learned all this amazing stuff about me, and then found out it's public knowledge?!?!
What a buzz kill. So you see... I'm doing you a favor. You're welcome.
So if you couldn't read some of the nonsense on here, you're going to have a bad time when I drop a novel on your inbox.
