Lawsuit Against President Is A Good Idea
The filing of a lawsuit against the president of the United States by the House of Representatives is an historic event which will clarify the legislative process defined by our Constitution. Those who denounce it as political posturing are afraid of losing it.
Those who see it as one party against the other don't understand it.
Those who care about rule of law will embrace it.
In short, the suit asks the judicial branch to settle a dispute between the executive branch and the legislative branch, having to do with which is authorized by the Constitution to make and change law.
As you learned in school, the Constitution says that law is written in this country by a process arising in the legislative branch – the House and Senate. Each must introduce and pass a bill, the two bills must be reconciled and the reconciliation must be approved by both houses of Congress, and then the bill must go to the president. If he signs it, it becomes law.
That law is then considered inviolate, and it is the policy and procedure of the nation until such time as it is superseded by subsequent legislation.
That's how it has always been.
Of late, however, in the ongoing back and forth between the branches, the executive branch has repeatedly and unilaterally made changes to law. By so doing, it has implicitly asserted that it has the authority to do so.
The basis for such authority is not readily apparent in the Constitution.
Which brings up the lawsuit.
Under the concept of judicial review arising from our Constitution, a dispute between the branches about powers and constitutional procedures should be decided by the judicial branch. It isn't enough for the president to say he has the authority and the Congress to say he doesn't, there must be a resolution.
That resolution is the federal courts.
Not as a matter political contention, but of constitutional clarification.
And it is foolish and naïve for politicians to see this in partisan terms.
Yes, it is Democrat President Barack Obama who is being sued, and who seems to have overstepped constitutional bounds. Yes, it is Republicans in the House of Representatives who are hauling the matter into federal court.
But this is about process, not party, and what the Democrat does today, which so angers the Republican, a Republican could do tomorrow, at great upset to the Democrat.
This isn't about what team you're on, it's about who gets to make the law.
It's about the presidential assertion that there is an executive authority to change law post-legislatively. The Congress can write law when legislation is proposed and reconciled. This new power, however, seems to claim for the president the right to change that law – thereby writing it anew – unilaterally and without review or approval of the Congress. It gives the president the power to dictate in lieu of the constitutional process to legislate.
That is actually huge.
And it must be challenged.
Because it must be either ratified or repudiated. There is currently no basis in law for this presidential power. It is pure fiat. Someone must determine whether it is legal or not, and that someone is the federal judiciary – ultimately possibly the Supreme Court.
All should welcome this suit.
Those who support the president in the assertion of these powers should expect victory and vindication. If the president is doing the right thing, the Supreme Court will back him up – right?
Those who oppose the president in the assertion of these powers should also expect success in the courts.
But both sides should expect the only thing that counts – a ruling that will settle the matter and honor the Constitution.
This is not disrespectful to Barack Obama or an assault on the Democratic Party. It is, rather, respectful of the Founding Fathers and a defense of the American Republic. No one can argue with that.
And no one can argue against the wisdom of a return to rule of law – that ancient friend of free men which asserts that law is supreme and may not be disregarded or enacted at the whim of one man. The law arises from the actions of the branch of government closest and most accountable to the people.
The Founders feared an imperial presidency, and crafted a Constitution to safeguard against it. The president's powers are great but limited, and no single president can throw off those limits.
No matter who he is or what party he represents.
Both parties should be united in that belief.
And in advancing a lawsuit which asks the federal judiciary to remind us how law is made in this country, and what the proper balance is between the executive and legislative branches.

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. Hotel was right near where my son lived in Echo Park so it was convenient. And 2nd floor room had a nice view of a palm tree which was pleasant. Walking into hotel through garage only but that had to do with renovations. The worst thing was the cigarette smoke smell that came through the vents in the bathroom when the fan was turned on.
Room was large. It was quiet. The bed was comfortable. WiFi strength in the room was weak. The hotel had electronic door locks and used video cameras extensively. However the fire doors were open throughout the building. The garage door was routinely open till 10:00 PM. It was possible to go from the garage to our room before encountering a locked door.
Very roomy and comfortable, with a helpful staff and great location for the price. Loved that parking was included. This isn't a huge deal, but the key card reader to enter parking garage after 11 was difficult to use. It was a bit far from where you could comfortably reach it as a driver. I had to get out of my car to use it.
My room was very clean and spacious. Front desk was very friendly. The area surrounding the hotel isn't the greatest.

An estimated 800,000 workers have been furloughed due to the government shutdown and are worried about making ends meet, meanwhile some politicians are opting to defer their paychecks. But not Rep. Renee Ellmers (R-NC) who told a local television station that she would not be deferring her pay during the government shutdown because she said,"I need my paycheck."
She continued, "That's the bottom line."
Ellmers spoke with WTVD in Raleigh, N.C., adding, "I understand that there may be some other members who are deferring their paychecks, and I think that's admirable. I'm not in that position."
Talking Points Memo reports, "According to Ellmers's official website, she was a registered nurse for 21 years before being elected to Congress. Her husband Brent, the website says, is a general surgeon.
Democratic Rep. G.K. Butterfield also told WTVD that he wouldn't be deferring his pay. "I don't think there should be a shutdown," he said. "I didn't create the shutdown."
Well the workers certainly didn't.
For fuck's sake. They should both defer their paychecks. But to say that she needs her paycheck, while dismissing the needs of 800,000 workers, is over the top.Click here for reuse options!

It may not feel like it, but property and construction did pretty well out of the last federal government.
Regardless of who wins on August 21, property and construction will not do as well out of the next Parliament.
The new-found focus, of both
Of course it shouldn't change the urgent need to reform housing supply and infrastructure delivery.
The crisis is right now, with today's population. In fact the very concept of a sustainable city should demand reform.
Sadly, the zeal for action is likely to evaporate.
The public building boom that followed the global financial crisis will also evaporate during the life of the next Parliament.
For many in the industry this is the biggest issue.
Because at the moment, the private sector cannot make up the difference. "The very nature of the government spending during the financial crisis was that it was temporary,'' says Nigel Hatcher, the director of industry research house Macromonitor.
"It was inevitable that the spending would fall away. Governments are now focused on deficit reduction,'' he says.
"The question will be to what degree the private sector emerges to fill the gap.''
Macromonitor does not think the private sector can fill the gap in the short term.
On its numbers, new starts in housing construction and non-residential building will fall away in the current financial year.
And the work done on road, rail and port infrastructure construction will also dip in 2010-11.
Macromonitor's latest analysis of the non-residential building market, released yesterday, points to a substantial decline in non-residential building in both this financial year and the next.
In essence, a nascent recovery in private sector building will not make up for the reduction in government stimulus investment.
"Many areas of commercial building remain dogged by oversupply and continued weak demand,'' he says.
"Absorption of office space, guest arrivals in the hotel sector, retail turnover, demand for manufactured goods are all improving but are still weaker than they were two years ago.''
Equally importantly, the money is not available, or is too expensive, to fund the work.
In 2009-10 the amount of government and social construction doubled. This financial year it drops away.
"While the commercial and industrial sector slowly picks up the pace over the next two years, government work will plunge dramatically, causing a two-year decline in total non-residential building commencements,'' Hatcher says.
The head of global research and development at cost and property consultants Rider Levett Bucknall, Roger Hogg, is similarly concerned.
He says the non-residential construction industry has been experiencing record levels of work in the past because of the government stimulus.
"We are currently at the peak of the government stimulus workload but as these projects draw towards completion, contractors and sub-contractors are actively seeking replacement work,'' he says.
"We are quite depending on the freeing up of funding for major projects,'' he says.
"There is no shortage of major projects; what we are short of is funding to get them over the line.''
In the housing sector the slowdown in demand is showing in the finance figures, the affordability numbers and in the Housing Industry Association's latest number of land sales.
Macromonitor expects housing starts will turn down this year before recovering in 2011-12.
For the industry, the coming slowdown will be the big challenge, whoever is in power in Canberra.

Google Scott MacDougall's rugby league career and one of the first articles to emerge bears the screaming headline ''NRL player jumps fence to flee from drug test''.
The incident referred to happened more than a decade ago but, despite what he has done before or since, it is what MacDougall is most remembered for. Not for his legal career or being a member of the famous MacDougall league clan that includes NSW and Australian centre Adam, fellow siblings Ben and Luke or his father, former Tigers and Magpies three-quarter Gil. But as the bloke who jumped the fence and into his car to flee officials of the Australian Sports Drug Agency, as the body was known then, after a first-division match for the North Sydney Bears in Canberra.
That was how the story was widely reported in July 2002. MacDougall hasn't spoken publicly about the incident, which effectively ended his playing career, until now. But given his legal and public-relations backgrounds, coupled with his experience with the anti-doping body, few are better placed to provide a perspective on the ongoing Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority investigations which, a year after they were first made public, are still far from completed.
''Every afternoon I would make the long commute to the central coast for training,'' said MacDougall, who was studying a medical-science degree at the University of NSW at the time, of that fateful day.
''I was not named in the squad for the team that travelled to Canberra to play the Raiders. I received an SOS as a number of injuries had decimated our squad. Of my own initiative I drove to Canberra with my girlfriend Angela King.
''Once I received notice of the test verbally I offered to return to the ground but I was told that the test I had been selected for would take place that evening in Sydney. The test was taken the next morning as they were short-staffed. Unfortunately, a story was written the next day in the Sunday papers that did not paint me in a favourable light.''
The headlines weren't the only thing MacDougall woke up to. There was also a drugs test. ''The fact that I passed the test hardly rated a mention,'' he said. He was hopeful of a robust defence at a tribunal, which was presided over by former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of NSW Sir Laurence Street.
What happened next irked MacDougall most. It wasn't the 12-game ban or even how the story found its way into the public domain. But that his accusers didn't front up.
''When the matter came before the tribunal, ASDA declined the opportunity to present evidence to substantiate their allegation,'' MacDougall said.
''The NSWRL was left in an invidious position in that they had to be seen to be doing something, however, ASDA's non-appearance meant they had no case. Therefore I was suspended for time already served [12 weeks]. With the benefit of hindsight it may as well have been 12 years. It robbed me of my livelihood, my dreams and aspirations. I went through a long period of depression as I struggled to shake off the stigma of those events. I was a 20-year-old boy and rugby league was all I knew. Thanks to the support of my family I was able to bounce back. Part of me felt a sense of injustice, which was one of the reasons that I chose to study law. When I was admitted it was a sad day of sorts, as my father, who had been so supportive of me over the years, was with God, having passed away a short time before.''
News of the incident followed MacDougall overseas and he struggled to find a club upon his return. Years later he impressed in a trial for the Dragons and was made a member of the squad. But another injury, this time a knee reconstruction, proved to be a career-ending one. Despite all his promise, he never played a single NRL game.
The ''darkest day in Australian sport'' has been a black cloud over athletes for a year. MacDougall's experience with ASDA happened almost 12 years ago, but he can see parallels emerging in the way the cases are treated.
''Firstly, and I can't stress this enough, ASADA has an essential role to play in Australian sport,'' he said.
''They help ensure the integrity of sport and one needs to be careful if they are to criticise the organisation, as their job is a difficult one.
''However, if ASADA are to be given new enforcement powers - whether they be the ability to compel individuals to give evidence or conduct investigations in conjunction with other law-enforcement agencies - they need to be subject to the rules of law and evidence that other government agencies are subject to.
''This includes, affording individuals procedural fairness. That is, if they have evidence that incriminates an individual, that individual should have the opportunity to be made aware of what that evidence is and whether or not that evidence is to form the basis of a charge.
''Most importantly, there needs to be finality. We cannot have a situation where years pass only to hear ASADA say that their investigation is 'ongoing'. Clubs cannot function, sell sponsorship, and manage their affairs with dark clouds hanging over their teams.
''Lastly, people need to also understand that in some ways we owe these young men a duty of care. We should not feed them to the lions merely to satisfy public opinion.
''I've been there, people don't see the dark days, nights and years that young men go though when they're forced to face the reality that their careers are over.
''Looking back, I remember thinking to myself: 'Scott, your life is never going to be the same.' Lucky for me it's better. But my heart breaks for those who are not so fortunate.''

Plug is as many things as your circuit can amp up, and power them all on or off with two taps of your toe. I can think of one good reason this would be much safer as a power strip than a wall outlet, however.
Making of the node [Metaphys]
This is a delightfully elegant solution, but it casts the old 100V AC system in even sharper relief. It might be ideal, however, for a household low-voltage circuit standard.
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to plug all your chargers and things around something like this without the wall warts? We'd just need a standardized low-profile plug.
Butter knife, meet "electrical outlet".
So many problems were solved decades ago, only for "creative" industrial designers to un-solve them just so they can solve them again.
USB ports standard in every room!
I can't think of the last time I had something that didn't have a ground pin.
Does this come with a hacksaw to cut them off?
@3 DCulberson
Now that's what I'm talkin' about! A few years ago I sketched out an idea for a hybrid AC socket / +12V DC Molex connector wall receptacle, but it would have needed manufactuers to start using the connector for something other than hard drives. Power-only USB sounds much better.
It's the lack of a ground pin that struck me (though it would also have to pinch the prongs well to hold them in place along the vertical rails). I suppose if the wall unit has a good ground fault interruptor in it, that'll do!
It would be great to see one of these in each room as a gadget charging station, connecting separately to each pair of prongs using some internal system and providing only the current it needs, and in the form it needs.
Grounding? Polarized plugs? Gravity?
Keep your creative design ideas to yourself!
God dam I hate "designer" "concepts".
I'm not an electrician, but power outlets are supposed to be physically sturdy for obvious safety reasons and able to create good electrical connection. Then there are the usability requirements that outlet and plug should look like they belong together and making a wrong connection must be made impossible.
This outlet doesn't look like it couldn't hold a single wall-wart properly, let alone create solid connections. It has no clear affordances for connecting, but allows user to make a wrong connection (both prongs in the same groove). Finally, it looks like a light switch and even works like a button. Guess what people will think it is.
Only good thing about it is that it has no chance of passing any kind of electrical safety review and will not be installed anywhere.
This is actually the power outlet of the past. When my parents moved into their house in 1996 there were 2 outlets like this one in the basement. Based on how yellow the plastic got with age, and the decor of the rest of the house, I'd guess they're from the 70's or early 80's (if not older.) They held plugs pretty well if the plugs weren't wallwarts.
Uh, this is asinine. It's been designed to look pretty, sacrificing safety and practicality… and guess what? As soon as you plug in a few devices it'll be as ugly as a regular power strip. Fail.
I like that the sketch has the words "warning sign" called out for the middle of the unit. Would "Not to be used as an electrical outlet" be an appropriate warning?
We had one of these as well, from back in the 70s – a strip that was used in the garage. It's pretty, but certainly not original.
it's japanese. not for the american market.
allows user to make a wrong connection (both prongs in the same groove).
I'm trying to figure out how that might work, but I'm afraid my head is going to asplode.
Why settle with power-only USB? Why not USB which goes to some computer somewhere as well, so you can plug in a camera and then route that to a computer in a completely different place?
You engineers take all the fun out of everything.
what about all the 3 prong cables, how is that gonna work, i need it for my 360 with natal to function.
I know the ungrounded open-strip outlets that this is reminding people of, but note that the sketch indicates "8 outlets" and appears to have two pairs of darker lines in each side of the bands running around the box. In the sketches on the site the designer even seems to have addressed polarity — the inner track holds the narrow hot slots.
Of course it seems to have changed between the sketch and the mockup, because the photos show plugs inserted in the middle of each side, which would indicate continuous open contacts and be as stupid as everyone is asserting.
Looks like it would be pretty easy to grab the sides of the plug while it's still half plugged in.
You know, that would solve the problem of people buying these pretty quickly.
Darwin FTW
Nice design but horrible engineering. There are so many things hidden in the design of a standard plug, a few of which are mentioned above. A serious innovator would need to first study all those and ONLY THEN design something better that does not suffer from problems long solved. "Those that ignore the lessons from history will relearn them the hard way" -or something like that. Anyway, safety first, and I wouldn't trust this one to the hands of an 8 year old.
It would be too easy to insert a wide blade shaped item into the slot. The holes that electrical pins insert into on 110V sockets stop children from inserting miscellaneous flat bits of metal into the sockets.
The design does not work for other countries. Also it's usually not a good idea to cut the earth pin off a plug to get it to fit.
But it looks cool and could be useful.
What about grounded plugs?
Also this isn't really a new idea, they make power strips that work like this since I was a kid. They just don't bend around into a rounded square.
When plugs are pulled a certain way you can have the prongs touch each other inside the socket. I think this is probably not healthy for the items that are on the other ends of the plug.
i swear i had a dream about this a month ago. Though my computer's charger uses a ground pin, i can't think of anything else (hard drive, phone, cameras, powertools etc.) that require them– and even my computer doesn't NEED it. If you're using something so heavy duty that it needs a ground pin ( table saw? welder? air conditioner?), should it really be in a strip anyway? As for safety issues, it looks like it wouldn't cause more problems than any other outlet. just keep the kids away from it like you would any other potential hazard.
Nice try, really nice.
Unfortunately this will never Pass the Safety Standards in Europe.
This construction gives end users easy access to live parts, thus electrical shock.
I have an idea for future switches outlets and more but no one can visualize what i am talking about…I already see the final product in my head. if you don't email me I will never share the idea with any one else again.They all think i,m dumb!!!
when i was eight i saw that my dad used a radio telephone from his boat to call home. so I asked him why don't we all have radio telephones, he hit me in the head and said "what are you thnking,they aren't going to put up antenna towers all over the place". well thats exactlly what they did for cell phones.
I have more ideas for houses, carsand, much more!

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Hi! My name is Tim, I am happy to help you with this! Please bear with me and be patient as sometimes these issues take a little bit of figuring out before we know what's wrong. If you could give me some more information it will be very helpful: -If you push the MENU button on the tv itself, does the menu show clear on the screen or is it affected? -How old is the unit? - Do you have this problem while watching all different devices hooked to this television? (DVD player, cable, satellite, game console, etc.)
Please give me this information and I will be happy to assist you further. Thank you, Tim Nolan
Yes. The picture is awful.
Here is the screenshot when HDMI is connected:
Picture when I start my TVwithout connecting any source: http://img600.imageshack.us/img600/1904/txhc.jpg
I am very afraid I have no good news for you. What you have is a LCD panel that has failed, this is a very common problem with these new LCD televisions and there is no way to fix it. The part price is always more than a new television. For example the part needed to fix your set is over $1600, you can buy a new set for half that price. Unfortunately there are a lot of good folks in your position, they have bought these nice sets, and after 18 months to 4 years the tv is going into the garbage unless they bought an extended warranty on it.
The only bit of advice I can give you if you don't have a warranty is to call Samsung and complain to them, a lot of manufactures are working with their customers because these sets are failing so prematurely. A lot of times the manufacture will repair the set, or supply the part at no cost, leaving you with the labor for installation.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or need any other information at all, if you do please use the reply to expert tab. If this was all the info you needed then please remember to rate me before leaving. Please do not hesitate to ask anything, happy to help in any way I can!

The legend of Warren Whitlinger
Warren Whitlinger was born in Barnsville, Ohio two months before World War I broke out in 1914. He was a natural athlete, playing both baseball and basketball at Ohio State. As a Buckeye basketball player, Whitlinger let the Big Ten in scoring while earning All-Conference honors as team captain in 1936.
Today at 97, Warren Whitlinger is known for an entirely different sport, and not as a player, but rather as a coach. As the revered patriarch of the Whitlinger tennis family, he remains sharp as a tack, and is still sought-after as a mentor of young athletes in the Fox Valley. His lessons are legendary; his philosophies broken down into simple phrases.
Grandson Tate, now 34, took lessons from the man lovingly known by most that know him as 'Baba'. "We would always have these little note cards he gave at the start of practice with quotes that I'll never forget," Tate Whitlinger says. One day it was Make it Happen, the next it was The harder I work, the luckier I'll get. We would have to rehearse them in front of the whole class."
How did a former basketball player morph into one of the great tennis minds in the country when he himself never played the sport? Moreover, how does a horse barn in Neenah, Wisconsin become a pipeline to professional tennis? It all began with Warren's son, John, during the summer of 1968.
John Whitlinger, like his father before him, was a naturally gifted athlete. He excelled in not only his father's sport, basketball, but also the game his older sister, Wendy, was playing, tennis.
I loved basketball," John, now the men's tennis coach at Stanford University, remembers. "But my dad and I had a heart-to-heart one evening in the den in our house, and he basically said 'you can be good in two sports, but if you want to be great in one, you might have to give the other one up.' I realized that I wasn't going to be the tallest guy in the world, so we went the tennis route."
So off to a converted indoor tennis court dubbed "The Barn" they w…Read more...

The 10 BestCollegeTowns, According to General Quality of Life
What makes for a good college town? Is it the number of drinking establishments? The number of late night pizza places with ranch to stumble into after closing time? The scantily-clad-coeds factor? Or is it something a little more intangible and, to be honest, mature for residents of the community, like underemployment rate, earning potential per capita, public transportation, and cost-of-living?
By virtue, college towns -- especially ones that boast big research universities -- are magnets for jobs and a fairly decent way of life. The American Institute of Economic Research crunched a number of "quality of life" factors to create the AIERCollegeDestinations Index, which ranks the "best" college towns. Here's how the sausage is made:
According to the study, here are the very best college towns. Via HuffingtonPostCollege:

There's an old story about several blind men who try describing an elephant after touching various parts of it. Because the elephant is quite large, each man can only touch a limited portion. So the man touching the leg says the elephant is like a tree, while the one touching the tail says it's like a snake, and so on, each man coming to a different, incomplete conclusion about the beast.That story comes to mind as I reflect on the increasing number of people who claim to be Christians yet … [Read more...]

West Virginia faces another ground challenge
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia will go up against the nation's fifth-leading rusher Saturday when it faces Louisville running back Bilal Powell.
The 6-foot-1, 215-pound senior bruiser is shining under first-year coach Charlie Strong, averaging more than 134 yards per game — far better than his first three seasons combined.
"I had a chance to recruit him out of high school ... and Bilal played outstanding that night," Strong said. "I told him when I got here, 'I saw you play in high school, and I hope to see that same effort here as I saw in that game that night.'"
"He's played outstanding this whole season."
Powell has 1,207 yards and has had five games of more than 140 yards. He has been one of the main reasons Louisville has been rejuvenated: At 5-5 with two regular season games remaining, the Cardinals have its best shot at a bowl game since 2006.
"Everything they do is different. (Louisville's coaching staff) is trying to develop the run game, and pass second," West Virginia linebacker Anthony Leonard said. "They have a great running back and a great line, and that counts for a lot of what they're doing."
The Mountaineers are no stranger to playing against top running backs. Already this season, West Virginia has faced four backs in the top 40, including Connecticut running back Jordan Todman, second on that list.
Of those four, only LSU's Stevan Ridley was able to rush for more than his average. Only Ridley, Todman and Marshall's Martin Ward have rushed for more than 100 yards against the Mountaineers.
Overall, West Virginia is giving up 95 yards per game on the ground, seventh-best in the country.
"Our goal is to come and be better than we were last week. So, on the track we're on, we're not going to be tougher and more aggressive and execute better," Leonard said. "We're going against a great running back and a great line, and it's pretty much going to be bone on bone out there this week."
The Mountaineers believe Powell might be the toughest back their defense will see this season. Powell is bigger than Todman and slightly quicker than Ridley.
"They have a cycle of backs, about two or three, that can come in and run it," West Virginia safety Sidney Glover said. "But, we go into each game with the goal to slow down the run game. That's going to be our goal this week."
Louisville's Victor Anderson and Jeremy Wright compliment Powell, adding 200 yards on the ground apiece this season. Mountaineers coach Bill Stewart said he is unsure how Louisville's first-year coaching staff will go about facing West Virginia's 3-3-5 defense.
"They are so explosive," Stewart said. "These guys really make plays. They're big-time game breakers."

Talk Dirty to Me- Mars in Gemini
(Pic by Bogalo courtesy www.dreamstime.com)
Mars in Gemini 13/7/09
Shane Warne has his Mars in Sagittarius, which I am sure no one except me really cares about (probably not even him). And why do I care about this? Because, I was absolutely convinced that if anyone had Mars in Gemini it would be Shane Warne- with all that texting that he is so well known for. But he doesn't have Mars in Gemini which means I need to find another example and I really didn't want to have to use another episode of Sex And The City. (If I did use SATC, I was going to use the episode where Miranda is having long distance phone sex with a colleague and enjoyed it until she found out he was juggling his phone calls, so to speak- very Mars in Gemini). But I used SATC last week. This week, I thought I would use an Australian Cricketer famous for his contributions to mobile phone use. But that hasn't worked out either.
Instead, I am going to rely purely on fact, lots of little facts in little bullet points to appeal to a Mars in Gemini brain.
Fact 1: The sign that Mars is in shows how you use your energies and asset yourself.
Fact 2: The sign that Mars is in shows how you assert yourself and fight.
Fact 3: The sign that Mars is in shows what turns you on (or off)
Fact 4: In a woman's chart the sign that Mars is in tells you what characteristics you like in your partner.
Fact 5: The sign that Mars is in shows how you may try and impress a partner.
Putting it all together, in short sharp bullet points, if you have Mars in Gemini you will:
• Invest your energy on mental activity gathering lots of little facts and socialising in lots of different groups.
• Your energy will be scattered, unfocused and inconstant
• You will talk a lot
• You will talk with your hands
• You will like any activities where you use your hands
• You will argue rather than throw things- especially when bored- in fact, arguing can be a way to pass the time with a particularly tiresome companion
• Your boredom threshold is low- both in the bedroom and out of it
• Speaking of which... think oral (and I know what is going through your mind...) kissing, talking (before, during and after), sexy talk, sexting.
• To Mars in Gemini, the brain is an erogenous zone.
• You will impress your partner with your amazing ability to talk about anything
• You will impress your partner with your quick wit
• If you are a woman with Mars in Gemini, you will be attracted to someone who is spontaneous, keeps you guessing, and is always changing.
• If you have a partner with Mars in Gemini, be prepared for their attention to wander. Also be prepared to mix it up, keep the relationship interesting, keep them guessing... which takes me to Samantha & Smiths's penchant for role playing- very Mars in Gemini.
So really, I could have just used the phone sex scene from SATC- it would have said it all.

Throwing really large pots, and trimming them, is hard work. This is especially true when your pot gets to be several feet tall and you need to keep your arms and hands steady as you stand to finish your pulls. In today's post, an excerpt from the June/July/August issue of Ceramics Monthly, Jim Wylder shares the tool he invented to lend a helping hand.- Jennifer Harnetty, editor.
PS. To see an adaptation to this tool, which can help with even glaze or slip application, check out the June/July/August 2014 issue of Ceramics Monthly!
Hold steady with this great wheel throwing tool
by Jim Wylder
I like to throw very tall pots and this means I need to steady my hands while finishing the top. So I created an armrest to steady my arms and gain more control at the top of my taller forms.
Tips from your peers!
Ceramic artists are always coming up with innovative, clever ways to solve problems in the studio and Ceramics Monthly shares the best tips in every issue. In addition to the great studio visits, techniques, new work, glaze recipes, and the fascinating stories of ceramic artists living the dream, your next time and money saving tip could be in the next issue.
Now available in an enhanced tablet version too!
The armrest is made from a maple futon frame purchased at a second-hand store. The uprights are drilled with ½-inch holes, 2 inches apart on center (1). Two boards on each side of the wooden crossbar that extends over the wheelhead secure it front to back, and a ½-inch bolt on each end pins it vertically (4).The way the uprights attach to the pottery wheel will be different for each type of wheel (2–3). Crossbar The length of the crossbar will be different for each type of wheel. The crossbar has two holes on each end and uses half-inch bolts and the two holes for the bolts (4). One is in the center of the wood. If these holes are used, the crossbar cannot be moved up or down. The second hole is a half hole on the bottom edge in the shape of a slightly extended, upside down U (5). This hole allows quick adjusting and removal by lifting up. The center hole on the left end can be used as a hinge so that the crossbar can be pivoted up or down in smaller increments. The crossbar will be slanted if this is done. Coat the crossbar ends with Parowax so it will easily slide in the uprights. Set to a specific height, the crossbar can be used to steady your hands as you work on taller forms (6).

Resume Myth #1: Your resume should be no longer than one page.
Resume Myth #2: Always include your references in your resume.
Resume Myth #3: One solid resume is all you need.
When it comes to resumes, the rules are always changing. For instance, job-seekers were once instructed to limit their resumes to a single page—tough when you have years of experience in your field. The new rule? Multi-page resumes are totally acceptable. Used to including a list of references in your resume? No longer necessary, not to mention a waste of precious space. And that last myth may be a disappointment to some—while a one-size-fits-all resume used to be the norm, resumes that are targeted to specific positions and companies are king, especially as more employers go online to connect with job seekers.
Having trouble keeping up? Never fear! CCPL's free Resume Review service is here to help you give your resume the added punch and professionalism that will help get you noticed. Launched in August 2009, Resume Review has helped a number of Cecil Countians perfect their resumes by providing feedback on formatting, spelling, grammar, and overall effectiveness, as well as suggestions for improvement.

I have heard a lot of great things about this service. One person I talked to received a job interview the same day he submitted his resume! In the job market today, it is fantastic that the library provides this free service to anyone that needs it. I will certainly tell my friends who are currently unemployed about this service.

Knapp: Community Foundations — 99 years of inventing a better way
November 12, 2013
The recent fiscal turmoil in Washington, D.C., serves as a poignant reminder of the important strength and stability of America's charitable sector. When political upheaval forced a stop to programs and services on which communities and families depend, community foundations like the Community Foundation Serving Greeley and Weld County were a lifeline.
Community foundations do not focus on one issue; they exist to improve the entire community and address a diverse set of local challenges. They connect donors to their charitable interests, engage nonprofit organizations and neighborhood groups in efforts to strengthen communities and bring together business, government and community leaders to identify local needs and advance promising solutions to local problems.
Community Foundation Week, Nov. 12-18, is a time to recognize and reflect on the unique impact community foundations have made throughout America during the past 99 years. The first community foundation was established in 1914, in Cleveland, Ohio. Today, there are more than 700 community foundations throughout America serving their communities.
Right here in Weld County, the Community Foundation collaborates with local partners to address a variety of challenges Weld County residents face every day. The foundation is currently working with United Way of Weld County to manage, support and administer the Weld County Flood Relief Fund, with both agencies waiving administrative fees; the fund has brought in more than $1,100,000. Early in October, the Education Summit convened as a result of a partnership between the cities of Greeley and Evans, Greeley Chamber of Commerce, Upstate Economic Development, United Way of Weld County, High Plains Library District, Success Foundation and the Community Foundation. The summit brought two renowned national speakers to discuss opportunities for a better understanding of educational needs in Weld County. On Dec. 10, the foundation will participate in Colorado Gives Day, and is a proud member of the Weld County Collaborative. The collaborative consists of 22 Weld nonprofits that have pooled their talent and resources to develop a one-day donor campaign that will benefit thousands of residents with everything from food assistance to healthcare to housing and youth programs. These agencies work hard all year, and to see them come together to support each other is at the core of the Community Foundation's mission.
Since 1997, the Community Foundation Serving Greeley and Weld County has helped people invest in Weld County. Using our unique knowledge of the community, expertise in best practices in philanthropy and sound management of assets, we are a trusted broker between those with philanthropic resources — individual donors, families and organizations — and nonprofit organizations. Donors can give to any of our 130 existing funds or establish a new charitable fund. Those assets are then carefully invested by the foundation. In 2012, the foundation distributed $905,000 in grants, scholarships and program support. Gifts to the foundation will continue to grow and earn resources for the community forever. We provide a simple and tax-smart way to fulfill your philanthropic goals and thoughtfully support our region's charitable needs.
Community foundations understand what makes their communities tick: the pressing needs, the forces of change, available resources and capacity for growth. They connect people who care with causes that matter. We encourage members of our community to participate in Community Foundation Week in addition to connecting with the Community Foundation by participating in Colorado Gives Day on Dec. 10. When we all come together, we strengthen our collective impact, improve the lives of people in need and create opportunities to ensure a brighter future for us all.
Judy Knapp is president and CEO of the Community Foundation Serving Greeley and Weld County.

Clean, comfortable, friendly.
The room was very clean and the appearance of the facility was very nice. Lots of parking to accommodate the trailer full of animals.
Spacious mini suite with very comfy bed. Great view of the beautiful hills. Friendly staff
Decor The dining room was too far away from our room
It was a very reasonably priced and comfortable stay.
Great beds here! Room was clean, modern & efficient.
This is one of my favorite hotels. The suites are spacious, clean, and comfortable and perfect for families traveling with kids. The hotel has been getting a great remodeling. Even before that, we loved this place. The staff is friendly and goes over and above regularly. My kids love staying here, always enjoy the pool, the facilities are clean, and the staff are very attentive.
We stayed at this hotel while we were checking our daughter into her college dorm. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the grounds were clean and beautiful, the pool was thoroughly enjoyed, and the dog friendly atmosphere was much appreciated. We will certainly stay again when visiting our daughter. I would like to see more protein options offered for breakfast. Either scrambled eggs, or sausage. My children loved the pancake machine!
The front desk was so helpful and attentive. We loved the staff member Sonya who helped us get settled in. That continental breakfast didn't start until 7- We had to leave at 6 am! Oh well. If we hadn't been forced to, we would have loved to sleep in and eat breakfast at a normal hour!
Quiet and clean. Friendly staff Surrounded by beautiful mountains. Poor lighting. Could add some healthier selections for breakfast.
The staff allowed me to stay on ground level... After moving some people around... I had heavy equipment to move around. They really went out of their way to accommodate my needs. I wish my trip allowed for more pool time .
Very comfortable and friendly staff. The shower is big but the bathroom was a bit small.
The rooms were very clean and large. It was a perfect place to stay while dropping my child off at school. They accommodated me for a pet friendly room for only $10 a night. I would definitely stay there again. A great room for the value. The complementary breakfast was terrible. Why bother if you are not going to make it halfway nice. They only had one vending machine that had only sodas or water. It would have been nice to have other snack or juice options.
Good value. Comfortable bed. Everything I needed (tv, hairdryer, iron & ironing board, WiFi, table & chair, air conditioning). Breakfast was adequate but a variety of fruit other than just apples would have made it more nutritious (like oranges, bananas, grapes).
The beds were comfortable and Keurig was a nice take on the usual hotel coffee. The hotel was well-located. The sinks and floors were dirty. One of the lights in the bathroom was burned out and the lampshade next to the bed was broken which made the room feel cheap and sketchy.
Nice Motel for the Price. Breakfast was not very good.
even though the room was marked non-smoking , when we checked in it was smelling full of tobacco smoke. Not a good thing. we had to sleep through the night with smoke smell.
Because of the low cost, I wasn't expecting much. However, the bedding was luxurious, clean and new. The rooms were spacious, the pool was pleasant, and the location was an easy 1.5 mile walk from town. I enjoyed being close enough to walk downtown, but far enough to work off a little of the delicious restaurant food we enjoyed on our stay. The staff was always friendly and accommodating. We will be back. The breakfast included bagels and toast, yogurt, biscuits and sausage, scrambled eggs, cereal and such. The eggs were pretty rubbery but my husband said the sausage gravy was tasty. I brought my own oatmeal and took advantage of their strong coffee, hot water, and fresh fruit. Free breakfast is free breakfast and it was ultimately better than I expected.
Cleanliness, easy access, close to freeway, staff very welcoming and helpful with places to eat and visit in the area. Will return.
In town close to everything loved the easy checkout
The hotel is walking distance to downtown Ashland and restaurants. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great price and clean rooms. This is our third visit and we will be back again. The wifi was slow.
Clean, big, and fully stocked. Great Location. The in-room keurig was with k-cups was a welcome surprise in the morning.
Clean, comfortable room at a decent price (Cascade building). Decent breakfast too. Appetizers in the evening were nothing to write home about. The parking is a little weird due to limited space between the creek and road.
Very clean, comfortable, and nice. Our king bed was very comfortable. Staff were helpful and friendly. Very nice! We will definitely stay again.
easy access to downtown shopping and activities; staff was very knowledgeable about surrounding activities and more than willing to assist in helping to find directions etc. Room was extremely comfortable.
location and staff was good Other than the dust overall experience was great Breakfast was bad and the first night out room had lots of dust the second night was much better
This was my first stay and I was very impressed with the general surroundiings, location and courtesy of the staff. They even made transfer reservations for me to return to the airport. The breakfast was terrific with a few changes in menu each morning, and the ability to dine on the terrace, view the Creek and even make use of the hot tub was an added benefit I truly would have given the place my wholehearted excellent rating, however . . . I phoned down the night before I left for a 2:30am wakeup call in order to make the first of three flights on time. I NEVER RECEIVED THE CALL! Having been a travel agent for many years, I can tell you that this is major crime for travelers! Upon checking at the front desk I was told that the young lady did write down the call info, however, she never entered it into the computer. That said, people make mistakes, and otherwise I cannot say enough about the level of courtesy and helpfulness in the staffing.
Walking distance to downtown with plenty of parking.
We enjoyed how close the hotel wss top the Shakespeare Festival as well as restaurants and shopping. Rooms are well appointed and comfortable. There were too many student group who were noisy in the halls after hours, oblivious to posted hour for using the spa, and pretty oblivious to other guests whenever food was being served. The breakfast room, while lovely, has too many tables leaving little space for guests to move around and exterior doors that don't close properly creating cold drafts.
Clean, friendly staff, price. Breakfast buffet is terrible: boiled eggs as hard as bullets, scrambled eggs taste as if they were out of a box. Oatmeal was OK and the coffee was OK.
Great Room; bed/TV set up, couch/ TV/sink & mini fridge. We went as a couple but could easily see us coming as a family.
The facilities were well appointed and comfortable. The workout room equipment is quite old, the breakfast was poor, with limited protein choices and fresh fruit, and parking is very tight
Bathroom awkwardly designef
Clean room, respectful to time period of the hotel. Tiny room but quiet. Staff very friendly and helpful. Tallest building in Ashland at 9 stories. Seriously within strolling distance of anything downtown Small room. AC didn't want to kick in, propped up window the full 6 inches that was allowed.
I liked the lobby with it's high ceiling fans, fireplace and spaciousness. I loved our room. The color scheme and furniture were beautiful. The vintage style bathroom was delightful. There were art deco touches with an excellent seating area. Quiet, lush surrounding. No children,we're running up and down the hallways which was a great relief. I would prefer a darker ambiance in the dining room. I prefer a warmer color scheme with tables of dark wood and a sense of greater separation and privacy from other diners. I prefer a lush, velvety fabric perhaps with deco touches. It felt a bit coffee house style in a summery atmosphere which is nice but does not feel elegant to me. The bar counter was delightful.
Our room was clean and comfortable! Hotel has a Victorian charm and sits in middle of downtown! People were very nice and friendly and we loved the location, walking distance to Starbucks and many great shops and parks! Loved it!
Super comfy bed. Cozy and quiet. Lavendar sache for bathtub. Location
The old style charm of the hotel fresh local flowers and views of the city. Location can't be beat for Oregon Shakespeare festival breakfast in the morning. Harp and flute music in the lobby Nothing everything was good
Lithia Springs is a wonderful place to stay in Ashland, The rooms are large and comfortable, the staff is pleasant and attentive. As a bonus, the food is excellent! I cannot get enough of their scones. After a very stressful weeks, this is just what we needed to relax and unwind, a world apart from the chain hotels. Best time to visit is during spring through fall when you can enjoy the beauty of their gardens. Highly recommend it.
Fairly quiet, clean bathrooms, nice beds
Good value in a generally xpensive area. This property is right at the Junction of 2 main roads and surrounded by business's so look elsewhere if you want quiet solotude, however the rooms are OK and the pizza place is right next door! Leaf blower guy outside everyone's back window @ 9 PM
We got a deal online and it was available on short notice. The location is about the closest budget motel to the theatre district. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean and smelled fresh. Everything worked and was in good condition. Plenty of hot water. Tons of TV channels. Coffee, juice, English muffins and bananas for breakfast were tasty. The staff was friendly. It wasn't exactly noisy but it isn't the quietest location and there is nothing romantic about it.. It backs up to a grocery store parking lot. The pool is super tiny and fenced into a little triangle spot in the parking lot next to the street that has no atmosphere whatsoever (looks like a dog kennel). The room was pretty dark and the furniture is very low-budget. The refrigerator worked okay but made a loud bang every time it cycled off. The included breakfast was just English muffins and bananas. Definitely a place to stay the night and move on rather than a destination or a place for an extended stay.
Clean room, extraordinarily friendly folks at the front desk, lots of amenities for the price. Only 1.5 miles from the Shakespeare theaters. Air conditioning unit wasn't cooling very well. I pulled out the filter and it obviously hadn't been cleaned in many months. I cleaned it and then the air conditioner worked fine. I absent mindedly tried to get into the room next to mine, thinking it was my room, and my key opened the door! Old fashioned keys. They need to have locks with cards that get reprogrammed with every guest. It was great that they had a continental breakfast, but it consisted only of orange juice, tea and coffee, bagels, English muffins and bananas. The second day we were there they were out of coffee, English muffins, and there was only one banana left.
It was in a perfect location, clean rooms, friendly staff and quiet, while being centrally located, Can't think of anything....
Cost, location, pool for summer, no frills Not really a breakfast, over soft beds when we asked for 1 King, thin walls
Super clean, comfortable bed, friendly, helpful staff. Perfect place to stop on a long drive . Quiet, close to freeway and meal options.
It was clean and comfortable with shopping and good food near by.
What could have just as easily been a nothing-stay, undertaken solely to avoid driving through the mountain pass during snow, turned out to be a surprising delight. Very warm staff, real care towards my comfort and ability to use the facilities, and the flexibility to accommodate my very late arrival make this a strong, earnest-5-star review.
We booked this room last minute at the Internet rate so were prepared for bare bones accommodations. We were pleasantly surprised! Beds were comfortable, room was quite clean. We had a room on the second floor (street level) facing a busy street and were not bothered by traffic noise at all. Coffee shop in the building served excellent strong coffee. Free continental breakfast was actually good! It was about a 5 minute walk to the downtown strip and less than 10 minutes to the theatre square. There was a nice looking pool and hot tub that we didn't use but many were enjoying
Perfect location, quiet, clean, amazing complementary breakfast and free washers and dryers! Only downside is pool wasn't heated so it was too cold to swim
We stay here every year when visiting the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Always a good experience
Good motel with many service, and a great staff. The bathrooms are clean, with great beds. Quiet. Rates are elevated, like all Ashland motels. Carpeting needs cleaning.
The desk staff helped with my tourist questions of local points of interest. Outdoor pool with hot tub, self-serve breakfast bar, workout room, 45-channel Cable TV with HBO, 3-meal restaurant next door, coin washer/drier available, plenty of parking for cars.
The room was large and very comfortable. The staff was very professional and a joy to talk to or get answers. The breakfast area was clean and has a large variety of foods, hot and cold. I now have this motel on my speed dial.
Beautiful King room, high ceiling and great jacuzzi tub. Clean room, keurig, seating, desk and fridge. No complaints.
Friendly front desk clean enough parking space quick check-out
I liked being so close to downtown. The bed was very comfortable. 1000 pillows. Very clean. Free wifi! Great price. Breakfast was a great selection. I stayed in a lower unit, I could hear the people above me in their regular movements. They weren't being excessive, just normal movement could be heard. Tv channel selections were not good.
Noisy neighbors Above. Would prefer staying on top floor. Due to our dog must stay on bottom floor
Location location location! Perfect place to stay in Ashland that is walkable to everything. Breakfast was hot and great for the price. Could hear everything in the adjacent room. Wished it was more quiet.
Traveling with a very well behaved dog. They give you a sheet to cover bed if Fido gets on the bed. Very comfortable. We had a loud neighbor, not their fault though.
The location abs breakfast The staff was rude ans there was ants everywhere in our room. They didn't ask if we wanted another room or anything. Brushed it off like it was a normal day
Clean and modern, well stocked room. Good full breakfast Don't book with a third party, book with Holiday in Express website. We couldn't make changes at the front desk, like apply a triple a discount.
I loved that the hotel had a pool. My kids played in there for hours. I also liked that they had free breakfast. The carpet freshener in the hallway was pretty strong. Other than that I have no complaints.
Clean and comfortable. All the HI Express hotels I have stayed at have always been clean and comfortable. I don't wonder what I am getting which is very nice when you have not been to the town before. Wasn't so wild about the eating area. Area was clean and food was good, it just was a little cramped for getting around. It was a bit more expensive than I was planning on.

It is the middle of a summer morning deep in the KwaZulu-Natal countryside, and the heat is intense. Beside the road that leads to Durban, 60 kilometres away, stands a sprawling acacia tree. Beneath it, women and children are gathering.
'We walked since before five to get here.' says Sabahle, 34, who has come with her sister and her young niece. 'It is a long way. We don't have money to take a bus.'
Sabahle and her family are just a few of the hundreds of women who come every month to the Tree Clinic, which meets beneath the acacia and distributes medicine, contraceptives, advice and information to women from rural communities. On this particular Wednesday, there are perhaps seventy attendees. Some, like Sabahle, have brought young children. Others have come in large, chattering groups. Gathered beneath the sparse shade of the tree, they create a rootless but deeply connected community, all bound by the fact that here, their voices will be heard.
In KwaZulu-Natal, more than sixty percent of the population live in poverty, with inadequate access to food, clean water, education and healthcare. The provincial HIV infection rate, at 39%, is the highest in South Africa. The relationship between these statistics is no coincidence; in this community, poverty and HIV go hand in hand.
International HIV and AIDS charity AVERT reports that there is an 'evident link' between the socio-economic background of a person, and the likelihood that they will take an HIV test. The report states that 'those who have taken an HIV test and know their result are more likely to have a higher level of education, be in employment, and have accurate HIV knowledge than those who don't.'. People who live in poor and rural areas are half as likely to be tested for HIV as those who live in wealthier provinces.
In South Africa, real work is being done to combat the epidemic. The HIV Testing and Counselling (HTC) Campaign, launched by the State Health Department in April 2010, aims to improve awareness of HIV and encourage discussion of the disease and through the use of television and radio. They want to reach fifty percent of South Africa's population with the campaign, and research has shown a positive impact on those who have heard the message.
South Africa also has the world's largest anti-retroviral programme; according to the 2009 UNAIDS progress report, forty percent of adults and ten percent of children needing treatment for HIV are enrolled in anti-retroviral therapy. Ninety percent of public health facilities now offer voluntary counselling and testing services. President Jacob Zuma has committed himself to improving access to treatment, and education about HIV.
But this work, while positive and necessary, is failing to reach those most in need of help. According to Grace, who has been running the Tree Clinic for three years, the people she meets have different needs and different problems.
'It is good that there are stories on the television and the radio, but what about the people who don't have those things? The women I speak to live in villages where there is only electricity if they steal it. They don't have radios. They don't hear that they can get free testing.'
Lack of education is not the only concern Grace sees. The women who come to the Tree Clinic travel for hours on foot because, once there, they will receive food and medicine. Volunteer nurses will check their children for signs of illness. Medication, vitamins, soap and clothing – things they cannot otherwise afford – are given out. Sabahle is making peanut butter sandwiches that will be handed out at lunchtime. She shoos away her niece, who leaves to play with the other children who have come.
'In my village, when you have HIV it is hard to tell anybody.' She says. 'People will call you "Living Dead" and not talk to you. Nobody has time to go to hospital and take medicine, or people in the village ask why you are not working. It is very hard. To get anywhere takes time and money. We don't have those things.'
HIV treatment is time-sensitive and ever-present. It requires multiple drugs to be taken at specific times. It requires a nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle. If medication is interrupted or abandoned, the disease becomes resistant and new combinations of drugs must be found. Regression can happen quickly.
'Why do you think we make sandwiches?' asks Grace. 'Nobody has enough food. Nobody wears a watch. They don't know what time to take their medicine. They don't have time to go to hospital. They are scared that people will find out. There are good drugs and there is good help, but not for these people.'
Her message is clear; without addressing the fundamental problem of poverty, South Africa cannot hope to overcome the HIV epidemic. The work done by the Tree Clinic is, she says, a call to arms.
'Things have to change. If the government wants to stop AIDS, it will have to stop poverty first. It is the only way.'
