Skip to comments.Mitt would govern as conservative (And I have a bridge to sell you)
Posted on 04/11/2012 12:01:35 PM PDT by C19fan
Conservatives shouldnt fret about the politics of their nearly-presumptive nominee. Mitt Romney will most certainly govern as one of them. Hes guaranteed to for the exact reason they think he wont.
If Romney really is the political animal his detractors on the right suspect him to be, hell shape his presidency with a single goal: Winning a second term. To do that, he will need to make sure there is no running room on his right for someone to launch a primary challenge.
(Excerpt) Read more at dyn.politico.com ...
fianlly, commonsense and reality post on this feeble Romney troll debate... let us do this state by state...
MA - gone
NV - gone union death
PA - gone union death
OH - gone union death
WI - gone union death
NM- weak but gone
CO - weak but gone
Ok - americanelect spoiler - gone
NY - gone
CA - gone
FL- crap shoot
NJ - gone - no matter how much fatso's moneysucking hacks claim it will be in play
BTW - americanselect.org is already in 25 states - their goal is to re-elect Obama - they will pull enough indies to stop dumbass Romney.
Romney SuperPac - they do not care - they will take either Obama or Romney to be their bitch - will cut deal close to election
GOP Establishment Pacs etc - make money either way, just make more if Romney is their bitch
Media Lame or so called cons - make millions and millions and millions either way - they do not care
POTUS face it - gone
Conservatives and those that support freedom? Just more of the crap sandwich either way..
Right at the beginning this guy ignores the record. Mitt did the exact OPPOSITE in Massachusetts. He did a lousy job. He was so bad that he ran rather than face the music.
He has also said recently that a second term isn't necessarily in the cards for him.
Romney certainly has no principles, but he does have a track record. His prior history has always been socialist. His lineage is extremely liberal. His father bowed to Alinsky. He cites his mother as the reason was pro-abortion. His accomplishments as governor have been socialist all the way. In fact, no one else running, republican or democrat, has his record of liberal accomplishments. When asked, Romney is unable to come up with anything he's done, other than marry and raise a family, to further the conservative cause. Obama married and raised a family does that make him a conservative? I don't think so.
The only difference between him and other libs is that he has an (r) next to his name. The only thing he has done since he began his run for the presidency is to have tricked a lot of conservatives into believing he is one.
So I would have to disagree with you about it being equally wrong to say he's a flaming liberal.
It doesn't take much to be a "conservative" when you have far left wing radical libs like Obama, Reid and Pelosi running the show....
Mitt will be severely conservative, as he was in Massachusetts.
Hey, I like that shirt. But they could leave out the small print and it would be more truthful.
"Like" a conservative... but not AS one.
Salvage. And much like McCain's choice of Palin as his running mate that energized Conservatives, we have yet to see who Mitt might choose to run with - hopefully Allen West.
We'd be stuck with a socialist GOP
Cotton- His judicial appointments in Mass were very very very liberal.
I am no Romney supporter and I am very disapointed to see Santorum leave. That said, I have seen a lot of popular conservatives back Romney: Coulter, Nikki Haley, Jindal, Christie, Rubio, Cantor, Issa, Paul Ryan, Mike Savage and others. Each time FReepers attack the endorser. Do the endorsers know something we FReepers don't? Will Romney move to the Right after the election? Is it possible that Romney can be a stealth Conservative, secretly getting the independent vote? It's all I got at this point.
I know. I live in MA.
I do, however, seem to recall that we forced President Bush to withdraw Harriet Miers and appoint Sam Alito. With a senate in republican hands that is even more conservative than the majority in 2005, I believe we can succeed in getting conservative judges. And also, there is an enormous and increasing knowledge and interest in constitutional government that may force Romney's (and the senator's) hand.
Romney is an outright liberal, but of the Republican brand:
He just doesnt want to pay higher taxes. He is like Bill O Reilly,
I hope that doesn't happen. I hope Allen West doesn't have to carry the stench of Romney with him for the rest of his political career. I can't forget what the McCain/Romney group did to Palin. The socialist wing of the republican party has not met a single conservative they haven't wanted to destroy.
Under the fool me once theory, the addition of West to the ticket won't help Romney anywhere near what Palin did for McCain, simply because we've seen that trick before. Those who are already going to hold their nose for Romney might feel better about themselves, but those who know what a socialist Romney is, also know that nothing would change. Allen West at the top of the ticket would be fantastic though.
Nope, but you're certainly free to stay home or write in your fantasy candidate this November.
I think you need to wipe your chin.
I haven't heard of one solitary thing that conservatives won't have to concede to vote for Romney. Not one.
To politico if you're not a communist you are a right winger.
According to Rush Limbaugh, Romney is able to convince people by talking to them. I can't recall the number of times I've heard people say 'sit down with Romney one on one and he'll convince you.' I also can't forget hearing about his wife saying he can argue either side of an issue and she can't tell which one he supports.
There is a difference between "popular" conservative and principled conservative. I know that you are hoping beyond hope that all the liberal things he did in Massachusetts were just an attempt to fool people. That his support for the gay agenda and $50.00 for an aborted baby were just his way of kidding people. Remember that if Mitt's mouth is open, he's trying to fool someone. But you can look at his history and his upbringing and you'll see there is nothing in his background that would make him conservative.

So I did really well on the reading front in April - actually a lot better then I thought that I would. I read 14 books this month - 13 fiction and 1 non-fiction, 1 children's book 2 historical fiction, 1 chick lit and 2 mystery/suspense. I read all 10 books that I had previously decided on at the beginning of the month. Making a list makes reading so much easier! My total for the year is 44. The books I read are:
44. Earth Democracy - Vandana Shiva
43. What Are You Like? - Anne Enright
42. The Rossetti Letter - Christi Phillips
41. The Assassin's Song - M.G. Vassanji
40. The Magic Finger - Roald Dahl
39. Divine Evil - Nora Roberts
38. The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness
37. The Bridges of Madison County - Robert James Waller
36. The Gargoyle - Andrew Davidson
35. Fatal Voyage - Kathy Reichs
34. The Black Sun - James Twining
33. A Vintage Affair - Isabel Wolff
32. World Without End - Ken Follett
31. American Pie - Michael Lee West
I found some great books this month. Some of my favorites were: The Rossetti Letter, World Without End and American Pie. I had a hard time getting through The Gargoyle and What Are You Like?
I had a really great month and hope to continue it into May!!!

Earth Democracy - Vandana Shiva
"In Earth Democracy, Shiva updates the struggles she helped bring to international attention—against genetic food engineering, culture theft, and natural resource privatization-—uncovering their links to the rising tide of fundamentalism, violence against women, and planetary death.
Starting in the 16th century with the initial enclosure of the British commons, Shiva reveals how the commons continue to shrink as more and more natural resources are patented and privatized. As our ecological sustainability and cultural diversity erode, so too is human life rendered disposable. Through the forces of neoliberal globalization, economic and social exclusion ignite violence across lines of difference, threatening the lives of millions."Amazon.com.
I am so happy I finally finished this book!! I have been reading it bit by bit for the last couple of months and finally decided that I would finish it this month. I have tried to read it at work but I really needed to concentrate to really receive the benefits of the book. I ordered this book from a small publishing company called South End Press (along with some other equally intelligent and hard to read books).
I really learned a lot while i was reading this. I had taken political science and international development courses in university but haven't been reading a lot of non-fiction on the last couple of years. I really liked the real life case studies of different places that have been affected by trade barriers and have dealt with horrible environmental destruction. It made me realize that there are so many things that we need to do as a society to help create a better world - especially when it comes to food and poverty. I eat so many things that I have no idea where they come from or how harmful it was to produce them.
I was a vegetarian for years but started eating meat again when I moved to Korea 6 years ago. I used to be very health conscious and very involved in animal rights and organic food campaigns. As I got older it all kind of fell to the wayside. This book has opened my eyes to topics that I did previously knew about but had either forgotten or pushed to the back of my mind. Now I will make more conscious choices when I purchase food and really think about the people who are benefiting or losing from my purchases. People should read this book.

What Are You Like - Anne Enright
I borrowed this book from the library a number of weeks ago but put off reading it after reading some not so good reviews about it on Amazon.com. I had really enjoyed her novel "The Gathering" but this one was supposed to be quite different.
According to Amazon.com "She tells the story of a Dubliner whose mother died in childbirth. Maria is now 20, living in New York, cleaning houses, taking drugs, sleeping with strangers, and generally being in a funk. In a lover's bag, she finds an old photo of a girl who looks just exactly like herself, dressed in clothes she's never owned, posing with people she's never met. But this isn't some gooey, alternate-reality identity fantasy. Maria has, in fact, a twin sister. Though each is unknown to the other, we learn both their lives inside out as they head toward a giddily inevitable meeting."
This book is hard to describe. I had a difficult time getting into it because the narrator and the time periods changed all the time. Sometimes Maria was in 1984 and next 1977, then it would be a nun's voice or maybe Rose in 1986. It made it hard to remember which life experiences the character had been through to get that point in the story. It was also a very sad book. Neither one of the twins feels excepted and both are suicidal. It was interesting that 2 women who have never met each other had so many similarities in their lives.
I don't think I would recommed this book. It really didn't leave me feeling anything except confused. And since I am pretty much confused all the time in my normal life - iıs not a feeling I need in my book life!

The Rossetti Letter - Christi Phillips
Well I have had a tough time with books recently but this one helped me out and perked me up a lot. This was a great story set in both the present-day and the
1600's and is about a young American woman who is researching The Spanish Conspiracy in Venice and also an important Venetian courtesan.
Publishers Weekly states "When the Venetian courtesan Alessandra Rossetti wrote a letter that exposed the 1618 Spanish Conspiracy, Venice was saved. Four hundred years later in Phillips's lovingly researched half-historical, half-contemporary debut, Claire Donovan, an American graduate student, struggles to finish her dissertation on the courtesan's brave act. Claire attends a Venice conference to check out the work of British superstar historian Andrew Kent, who sees Rossetti as nothing more than the pawn of very powerful men in a diplomatic double cross: once Andrew's work is published, his ideas could derail Claire's fledgling career. Phillips, developing parallel plots, unspools Alessandra's story directly to the reader in detail denied Claire and Andrew, who overcome their initial animosity to solve the greater mystery."
I loved that the book went from one voice to another; one era to another. It made the book flow better and made it really interesting to read. I was always captivated and always entertained. I am a little iffy on historical fiction - I do enjoy it but it has to keep my attention. I have to make sure that I pick the right book (or that the right book picks me!) But I do love when history meets the present day. The characters were also funny and really developed. I also enjoyed the fact that the ending was left open for future books. I can't wait to read the next book that features Claire called "The Devlin Diary"!

The Assassin's Song - M.G. Vassanji
I have read every book by this author and enjoyed all of them. When I started this book and couldn't get into it I should have put it down right away - but I didn't. I wasn't in the mood for an in depth book on Sufism in India. I wasn't really even in the mood to read but I ploughed through. I wish I hadn't done that because I ruined a perfectly good book with my crappy mood.
New York Reader says 'his resplendent novel traces the path of Karsan Dargawalla, who is brought up, as generations of his forefathers have been, to be the "gaadi-varas, the successor and avatar" of a seven-hundred-year-old Sufi shrine in Gujarat, a mausoleum of Muslim origin but for centuries open to all religions. Karsan, rebelling against "the iron bonds of history," leaves for Boston and Canada, though he ultimately returns to India to "research, recall, and write about" his abandoned heritage. Vassanji eloquently details the sufferings of Karsan's family as the price of his individual freedom, but suggests that this abandonment was necessary, and that tradition, in the face of India's "ancient animosities," must be engaged with critically and in the context of the wider world.'
It sounded great and probably is. I think I will re-read it at a later date. I am not going to give a real review because I don't feel like it would be accurate and true to the book. I do suggest people pick up this book (or any others by M.G. Vassanji) because the author is amazing.
Maybe I read myself out at the 24 Hour Read-a-Thon. I don't really know. I am going to go for something light next...get my reading taste buds back!

A Wonderful Surprise
Yesterday I recieved a wonderful surprise when I looked at my blog - another award! I was so thrilled! The award is from the wonderful C.B. James at and the award is The Zombie Chicken Award.
The Zombie Chicken Award goes to people who "in the Tao of the zombie chicken - excellence, grace and persistence in all situations, even in the midst of a zombie apocalypse. These amazing bloggers regularly produce content so remarkable that their readers would brave a raving pack of zombie chickens just to be able to read their inspiring words. As a recipient of this world-renowned award, you now have the task of passing it on to at least 5 other worthy bloggers. Do not risk the wrath of the zombie chickens by choosing unwisely or not choosing at all…" It is quite an honour!
In the next few days I will pass this award along to some other amazing bloggers and their blogs that I have had the privalige to read. My blog is not as flashy as some of the great blogs that I have seen (I still have trouble figuring out all this computer stuff) but I hope to upgrade soon!
My husband is going to the Middle East for the next 5 days and I have a 4 day weekend from school so I have some free time to spend reading. I am excited to finish the books I have started and dig into some of the ones I picked up at the library the other day. SHould be a great weekend!

Divine Evil - Nora Roberts
I didn't get this one finished during the 24 hour Read-A-Thon but I did finish it up this morning and really enjoyed it. I do not usually read romancey sort of books but I picked it up at a friends house many years ago (it was his moms), read half of it and then never finished it. So when I saw it at the library I thought I should try and finish it.
Amazon.com describes the book "Haunted by half-forgotten nightmares since her childhood, Clare Kimball, a shining star in the New York art world, returns to her hometown and finds new love with the town's sheriff, Cameron Rafferty, once the high school rebel. Clare Kimbal is troubled by depression and the return of childhood nightmares. So she takes a break from New York City and heads for her sleepy hometown in Maryland, despite its association with her beloved father's violent but apparently accidental death. Cameron Rafferty, formerly the town hellion, is now the sheriff and faced with a puzzle: the century-old grave of an infant has been dug up. In fact, the grave was robbed by Satan worshipers; Clare's dreams date from the night in her childhood when she saw them performing a coven ceremony--and they know she saw them. Cam's problems are compounded when the mutilated corpse of his hated stepfather is discovered in a field after the two have a public fistfight."
The book is predictable but I think I needed that in this latest book. It was interesting and was a real page-turner. I read quite late into the night because I couldn't put it down. I love when I find books like this. I also liked the supernatural part to the book - I guess I am like my mom in loving books like this.
I think I have to read something a little more intellectual for my next book - but I will be secretly waiting for the net book like this!!

April 2009 24 Hour Read-A-Thon Finished!
So the Read-A-Thon is officially over and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed participating in it, commenting on others blogs and also the preparation leading up to the day. It was wonderful to know that people all over the world were participating and reading the same time I was.
I read 2 whole books:
The Bridges of Madison County - Robert James Waller
The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness
Finished 1 I had started previously:
The Gargoyle - Andrew Davidson
And got halfway through another:
Divine Evil - Nora Roberts
I read 1020 pages in 24 hours. Not too bad.
I hope there is another Read-A-Thon in the summer. I think it would be great to sit up all night in the warm air reading books!

The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness
This is the first YA book I have read in a while. I did read the 'Twilight' series (but so did pretty much every other reader I know) and when I stumbled upon this book at the university library I knew it was meant for the Read-A-Thon. I had never found a YA book at this library before and was pleasantly surprised.
Amazon.com gives the description of the book as 'Imagine you're the only boy in a town of men. And you can hear everything they think. And they can hear everything you think. Imagine you don't fit in with their plans... Todd Hewitt is just one month away from the birthday that will make him a man. But his town has been keeping secrets from him. Secrets that are going to force him to run...'
The book was a big one - 477 pages and not so much dilougue. There were so many unanswered questions even at the begining of the book that didn't get answered until the very end (or even not at all. I didn't realize that this was the first in a series when I started it). I think the book was made for a male audience but I did enjoy it. It was fast paced and I moved through it quickly. I really liked the dog, Manchee, and how Todd could hear all of the dogs (and other animals) thoughts. What little boy wouldn't love to hear what his dog was thinking!
I will try and read the rest of this series - I will probaly have to wait till I go to England for the summer to pick it up but I can wait until then!
Book 3 finished for the Read-A-Thon. A little over 4 hours left and I have one more book to work on!

Hour 19
Hour 19 is part way through and I have just woken up, washed my face, made some tea and am diving right back into my book. I have 5 hours to finish 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' and begin my fourth book. I really wanted to read 4 books during this challenge and I will trudge on in hopes of doing that.
I applaud all the people that actually stayed awake for the whole 24 hours. It is not something I could do!

Hour 12
So we are in Hour 12 of the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon and I am about to have myself a bit of a sleep. I hope to get about 6 hours of sleep in and then read for the rest of tomorrow. I can't read when I am tired and if I go to bed now I can get up bright and early and get in at least 6-7 hours before the Read-A-Thon is over.
I am 270 pages (out of 479) into a YA novel called 'The Knife of Never Letting Go'. I will read a few more chapters in my bed (and probably fall asleep in the process). I am sure I will finish that tomorrow pretty early and then finish off my Nora Roberts book. This is the most books I have ever read in a 24 period time span. It is kind of cool. I wish these things happened more often.
I have been reading others blogs and it sounds like everyone is doing great having having tons of fun! Thats what this is all about - it doesn't matter if you read 1 book or 20 books.
See you all in the morning!

The Bridges of Madison County - Robert James Waller
I picked this book up at the library and thought it would be great for the Read-A-Thon. It is only 180 pages and a book that I had wanted to read. I had read some negative reviews about it but decided to try it out anyway. I had seen the movie with Meryl Streep and Clint Eastwood years ago and remember liking it. I have to confess that I do enjoy an easy to read love story (I devour Nicholas Sparks books and cry like a baby!) and this was what this book was. The book is about an affair between a traveling photographer and a farm-wife who meet unexpectedly for a few days during a hot summer in 1965. They only are together for 4 days and never meet again - but there love changes each other and seems to last forever.
To me, the story isn't very well written (especially the dialogue) and I can see why some people didn't like it. But I did really love the way the characters thought about their lives and their love for each other. It was beautiful. It made me so sad to think that they kept this secret for so long and were so in love but couldn't be together because of Francesca's responsibilities towards her husband and children.
An excellent read for the first part of the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon. I am doing well with the reading. I find it hard to keep up (and comment on) everyones blogs AND keep reading as much as I want. This is turning into quite the fun and challenging evening!

The Gargoyle - Andrew Davidson
First book finished in the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon. Technically I did start it a few days ago but I did finish about half of it today. I decided to blog about the books I read right after I read them so I remember them well. I started this book when I went on vacation but could not get into it. I think it is a book that needs to be read during long periods; not one that can be picked up and put down frequently.
Amazon.com gave the best description of the book stating, "The Gargoyle of the title is the narrator, a handsome young man who while driving stoned and drunk one night crashes his car into a ravine and is burned in the resulting fire. He finally awakens in a burns unit to find his body has been ravaged by the flames and he has entered his own version of hell. It is during this period that he meets Marianne Engel, a renowned sculptor who stuns him by suddenly announcing they were lovers seven hundred years ago in Germany and she has been searching for him since then." This is the premise of the book but there is much more to it. I am not very interested in philosophy so I had a difficult time getting into the book. There is a lot of talk about the existence of God and also the existence of Heaven and Hell in many different forms.
I did like the characters in this book; the narrator is really interesting and I love his point of view on things. Marianne was really interesting to me as a social worker because I could see her mental illness and how it gets worse over time. I know many people read this book and do not believe that she was mentally ill but I do think that the author must have taken characteristics from mentally ill people and added them to this character.
All in all the book was alright. I think that it just wasn't my type of book and I can recognize that it was very well written and many other people will enjoy it.
Time to push on and start another book. Hour 4 here I come!

So it is a few hours before the Read-A-Thon and I am getting prepared. I am making sure I have food and drink for the evening. I am stopping my diet for the next 24 hours because I hate being hungry when I am reading and there is nothing I love more then having some good chocolate and reading a good book. I also bought many different types of teas. I picked the books that I am going to try and read and also some alternatives incase I don't like what I am reading.
The books for the next 24 hours are:
The Gargoyle - Andrew Davidson (I have about 150 pages left to this)
The Bridges of Madison County - Robert James Waller
The Knife of Never Letting Go - Patrick Ness
Divine Evil - Nora Roberts
My alternatives are:
Club Dead - Charlaine Harris
The Assassin's Song - M.G. Vassanji
I hope I can get through these four books. The Bridges of Madison County is pretty short and The Knife of Never Letting Go is a YA book. I am struggling a bit with The Gargoyle so I am going to try and finish it up before the challenge. I will update every now and then to let people know how I am doing.
Good luck to everyone and happy reading!!!!!

I was on vacation in Germany for the past week..so no posts from me and almost no reading! I was busy sightseeing and shopping. I was in Munich, Germany for 6 days and went to Salzburg Austria on a daytrip. It was absolutley beautiful and I cannot wait to go back and explore more of Germany and Austria. The 2 books I read on the trip were The Black Sun - James Twining and Fatal Voyage - Kathy Reichs. Both were great easy vacation reads. I really enjoyed both of them.
The Black Sun is about an ex art theif who is asked to help the British secret service to help find an old artifact and to also locate an old enemy. The book is set in the US, Germany, Russia and a few other places. I believe that there are more in the series.
Fatal Voyage was one of the best books in the 'Bones' series that I have read. Set in the hills of Tennessee, Dr. Brennen is asked to help identify bodies after a plane mysteriously crashes. Of course things are always as they seem and a really creepy mystery begins to unfold. I bought another one in Munich and have to try and keep my hands off it for as long as possible!
I have signed up for 'Deweys 24 Hour Read-A-Thon' which begins tomorrow. Since I live in Turkey I have to figure out what time I am supposed to begin. I have my books picked out already that I want to read and am pretty excited for my first Read-A-Thon!! Who else is participating?

A Vintage Affair - Isabel Wolff
A Vintage Affair was a wonderful "chick lit" book taking place in London. The main character Pheobe opens her own vintage clothing store and we see how these clothes affect different people throughout the novel. Pheobe has recently broken off her engagement and is struggling with the lose of her best friend, Emma. The story gets interesting when Pheobe meets Mrs. Bell, an elderly widow who is getting rid of most of her fabulous vintage clothing. Mrs. Bell won't part with one item, a beautifully made blue coat from the 1940's. We understand why when Mrs. Bell tells Pheobe a story that involves two best friends, World War II and a tragedy that has haunted Mrs. Bell her entire life.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book. I find British "chick lıt" to be wonderful because the characters are alwyas quirky and seem that they could actually be real people. I read this book in a day and enjoyed the time I spent reading it. But beware girls - it makes you want to go out and shop!

World Without End - Ken Follett
Well this was an epic novel. The book was so many things - hıstorical, romance, murder, mystery and so much more. I really enjoyed it. I had read the first book in the series "The Pillers of the Earth" in September and loved it. I tried to wait as long as possible before reading this one because I love knowing there is at least one good book in my collection that I can turn to when I really need it. I am glad I read it now because I couldn't put it down. I tried to read it slowly so I could get the most of it and I stayed up late some nights reading it. At 1200 pages it, I was surprised that it only took me 5 days to finish it (and I continued to go to the gym).
The story is spans 40 years in the mid 1300's and mostly follows the lives of 4 children who grow up to be important members of Kingsbridge. Caris is an intelligent, somewhat wealthy young woman who yearns to be a doctor, even though as a woman she can never be one; Gwenda a hard working woman from a poor family and only wants one thing in life - to marry Wulfric; Ralph is a cruel and heartless youngman who wants to be a knight and seeks vengeance for an incident for over 30 years, finally Merthin who is Ralph's brother,who is a wonderful builder and in love with Caris. There are many more characters in this book but I don't want to give anything away.
I loved the twists and turns of this book. There was always something happening. It made the 1200 pages easy to get through. So many terrible things happened in this novel (especially to the female characters) and I cringed sometimes while reading it. But it was really enjoyable. A perfect book for a long flight or bus ride!

American Pie - Michael Lee West
I read a lot of international authors and sometimes I just need a good old American or Canadian book to make me feel that I am not too far away from home (Yes, I am Canadian but I do feel a kinship to American literature).
American Pie hit the spot by giving me an insight into small town Tennessee and the women who live there. This novel is about a family, sisters Jo-Nell, Eleanor and Freddie and their grandmother Minerva. Freddie is the sister who left Tennessee and moved to California to work with and study whales. She married a California man and never went back to Tennessee. Eleanor is the oldest sister and frightened of men, going places by herself and many other things. She runs the family bakery. The youngest sister Jo-Nell is beautiful, has been married three times and has a reputation around their small town of stealing husbands. Their parents died when they were young so their grandmother raised them on love and food.
Freddie comes back to Tennessee because Jo-Nell gets into a serious car accident. Everything that Freddie was running from when she left finds its way back to her and the story gets pretty interesting. I loved the Southerness of this book and how the characters talked. The sisters were so different but so interesting in their own way. The story was told from every woman's point of view which gave you great insight into each character. I love books that are written like this. They flow so well. I think this book would make a great movie.
I am searching for more books set in the South. Anyone got any suggestions?

Information about SUNY Rockland financial aid form, submitting required application forms, and accessing registration scheduling online. Which colleges give you the best chances of meeting your educational expenses? Concentrating on SUNY Rockland financial aid form, for example, may give you additional focus in the financial assistance selection and award process. Check with the financial aid office for assistance with filling out FAFSA forms, registration deadlines, and financial aid program requirements. Please use the form above to request application info for SUNY Rockland.
The first step in applying for financial aid is completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), which must be redone every year that you're seeking financial assistance. Within a few weeks, the US Department of Education will send you a Student Aid Report (SAR), which is a summary of the FAFSA data you submitted. Further, the financial aid office at the schools you're applying to will use your information to calculate your financial aid package, and will send you an award letter, detailing the amount of financial assistance that you're eligible for.
Please note that you are responsible for repaying all of your student loans with interest. If you are unable to make timely payments on your outstanding student loans, you must contact the loan office to make arrangements in order to keep your loan in good standing. In the worst case scenario, if you end up with a federal student loan in default, up to 15% of your disposable income may be appropriated by wage garnishment. It's not just your credit rating that may suffer, as new laws have increased the penalties for failing to repay financial obligations.

Sandcastles have keys…
Yes – big and small!
One of the most rewarding parts of my job is to see an imagination open. After all, "Creativity is only limited by the imagination" (a famous guy said that) Q: How do you unlock an imagination? A: With a key.
I have often said that communication is the key to success. After all, without it, what have you got? A bunch of great ideas, skills and techniques, with no way to pass them on. If you have a key to communication, you can open minds anywhere.
When I teach people to make sandcastles and see the look on their face when I use a straw to blow away debris, or pull off a bucket to reveal a perfectly smooth block, I know that I have given them a key. We spend most of our lessons laughing and joking while people relax, forget about work and phones, and get to be a family for a few hours.
I enjoy what I do. Every day I get to talk to people about what they do, soldiers, doctors, riggers, people in every form of business, social media and college, and of course, moms. They all have one thing in common – they never thought they could make a perfect Sand ball or stack wet sand and build an awesome castle.
The keys are already in their pocket – my job is to make sure their vacation or field trip is somewhere they can use it. I hope that the experience will them keep ideas moving for a whole year so they can come back and say," I watched your videos, and I want to build this!" (It's amazing what they ask for!)
One of the greatest things to do is show a child how they can do something… When schools come to lessons they bring one thing in spades – enthusiasm. When I was small I loved to learn to make and fix things and I have always been an enthusiastic. I love to see what I felt myself and it's cool to be able to pass that on! I think that showing someone how to use their hands to make anything is something we are missing these days…(but that's for another blog!)
So like I said, keys come in two sizes big and small…and every sandcastle has one.

It may not be chilling and more 'boring' in a judge's words than interesting, but the long awaited tape of the questioning of serial killer Paul Bernardo is still revelatory and telling.
The videotape was the subject of a major debate in a Toronto courtroom on whether it should have been released to the public or put on the Internet.
The tape was made on June 7, 2007, when two members of Toronto Police went down to the Kingston Pen to interview the infamous murderer and rapist about whether he was involved in the killing of Elizabeth Bain, a crime originally leveled at her since acquitted ex-boyfriend Robert Baltovich.
See the unedited tape In The Raw here.
Perhaps what's most noticeable right off the bat is the killer's self-identification, when he's asked to give his name for the record. "Paul Jason Teale aka Paul Bernardo," he declares.
"Teale" is the name Bernardo adopted after a serial killer he admired in the movie "Criminal Law." It shows he has not given up that image that he relished so much while he was committing his crimes, including the murders of school girls Kristen French and Lesley Mahaffy.
While the tape doesn't contain any specific revelations it does show a lot about Bernardo's character. At one point, police begin talking to him about other sex crimes, and he gets upset they're mentioned in his file and that Peel Police didn't come and talk to him about them directly. "You guys love doing that," he complains. "I'm that crazy psychopathic liar."
"Either I'm lying to you or I'm not … You're not going to roll forward that I'm some kind of psychopathic liar sitting in jail claiming other people's responsibilities for other crimes."
"Either I'm a liar or I'm not a liar. And I'm not a liar and you guys are trying to paint me as one … because if I'm this crazy liar then I'll just be sitting here lying to you, right?"
He seems obsessed with what the press is writing about him and frequently refers to what he feels are unfair TV news reports about his case and his character.
And then he adds this in a very nonchalant way. "I'm a human being and to say that I'm a dangerous offender and rape and kill and this stuff is fine, for publicity and all this stuff … but when you go to a certain point, I mean it affects me totally. You know I made mistakes, I made mistakes a long time ago. But don't say that about me, because then you're the bad guys."
It's a chilling statement, calling the murders of Tammy Homolka, Mahaffy and French essentially nothing more than an error in judgment. "I made mistakes 17 years ago," he goes on. "Okay, fine, I did, but now we're talking about today."
When asked if he'd be willing to take a polygraph to prove his statements, his answer is quick, making reference to his former wife and co-killer, Karla Homolka. "You're opening up cans of worms," he gripes. "You didn't polygraph Karla. Have you asked her?
"… I know Karla's free now. I'm not in the business of putting her in jail, that's not my thing."
Finally, almost 12 minutes in, detectives get to the point of their visit.
"Did you kill Elizabeth Bain on June the 19th, 1990?" one of them asks him point blank.
"Well, that's a loaded question," he responds. "I mean are we going to go back and go through the time sequence of what happened in my life? I could just give a yes or no answer, but there's a lot of issues about that."
He finally gets to a definitive statement. "The answer to that is 'no,'" he shrugs. "But the 800-pound gorilla is in the room. That's a life-25 sentence. It really comes down to credibility … But the answer is no to that question."
At one point, detectives tried to jog Bernardo's memory about what he was doing around the time Bain went missing. Few of them ring any bells and he finally concludes with this statement. "See what happens when you lock a guy up for 15 years in a windowless cell? Memory gets fuzzy."
And then police play a piece of an interview with Karla Homolka, in which she indicates Bernardo may have been involved in the case. His reaction is animated. "Paul did it," he quotes her as saying as a mantra, always trying to deflect the blame off herself. "I didn't pay attention to any of it. I didn't watch the news back then, I was too busy doing other things.
"The profile is the serial killer pays attention to all the news media, it's his narcissistic personality, blah, blah, blah and all that crap. I don't know anything about this case now. I don't know if this guy [Baltovich] did it. And I don't really care."
He seems especially upset that police have never forced Homolka to get a lie detector test and refers to her "12-year deal, no polygraph required."
"Hey," he shrugs. "I'm giving you the truth here. You guys can prove me wrong. Go down there and ask her, you'll get a no. I keep telling you – no one does it," he slaps the table in frustration. "I don't know why."
In the end he denies having anything to do with Bain's disappearance and knowing either her or Baltovich.
Did he ever meet her? "I don't remember," he answers. He notes that he first heard about the case when he was already in jail and had no knowledge about it before then.
Baltovich and his legal team have always pointed to Bernardo as a viable suspect in the case, because he was known to be around the U. of T. campus operating as the Scarborough Rapist near where Bain disappeared. And witnesses remembered seeing a blonde man matching Bernardo's description near the area that day.

Somerset rewarded by revitalised Cox
SOUTHAMPTON (first day of four; Somerset won toss): Somerset have scored 224 for six wickets against Hampshire
THE cares of captaincy and the heavy load of opening the innings affected Jamie Cox to a marked extent last year. It was a lean one for him as well as his side. Eschewing these responsibilities has enhanced his batting to the extent that he made his second century of the summer yesterday and is now averaging 72.
No one else scored more than 30. It is salutary to note that Cox, whose free-flowing driving is essentially best suited to the even square at Taunton, has played his three most significant innings thus far this season at Derby, Bristol and now here, where there was movement off the…

Visiting the Library
I attended a work-related meeting this morning. It was pretty typical, nothing special, and probably like a thousand other meetings you or I have ever experienced in our lifetimes. This one ended a bit differently though. It took place at an office deep within the Madison Building of the Library of Congress and our host offered us a tour after the meeting concluded. I jumped on that opportunity as quickly as I could, quite happy to trade my lunch hour for something entirely more fascinating. I've seen just about every major site in Washington, DC but somehow I'd never been to the famous Library of Congress. It's one of those places that had fallen though the cracks of my experiences even though I've walked past it hundreds of times.
We entered a pedestrian tunnel beneath Independence Avenue (didn't realize they had underground tunnels connecting the building but apparently they have several) and we climbed a flight of stairs to the Great Hall in the Jefferson Building.
View Larger Map
The Thomas Jefferson Building is probably the most famous component of the Library of Congress complex. It was built in the Beaux-Arts style at the tail-end of the 19th Century with great attention paid to ornate flourishes. We received the same basic tour every visitor experiences, however we did get bumped to the front of the line as we entered each room so I guess we had some minor level of VIP status. I can tell we didn't get the true VIP tour because we didn't see anything remotely like National Treasure: Book of Secrets. Even the tunnel was pretty innocuous.
To all the junior high school students who had to stand aside as we passed, I offer my apologies. Life isn't fair kids.
This is the Great Hall. You can probably tell that my only camera was built into a crappy mobile phone. There were plenty of places where the library did not allow photographs though — they said flashes would damage priceless artifacts — but we were allowed to snap away in the Great Hall. So I did.
You will notice as you wander through my account that I also did not photograph any books, which seems a tad ironic given that this is one of the greatest libraries on the planet. Absolutely, I enjoyed the books. They had a Gutenberg Bible printed on vellum which is even more rare than most of the others which are printed on paper. Only a dozen vellum copies still exist. They also had Thomas Jefferson's original library recreated to its original form, with replacement books for many of the volumes that had been destroyed in a fire long ago. However, I wasn't allowed to capture images of any of those treasures nor of the main reading room. Thus I focused my brief time and dismal photographic talent on artistic oddities accenting ceilings and hallways.
That's fine too. I like odd.
The guide explained that many of the artists who decorated the Jefferson Building had been involved with the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. They needed new employment after everyone finished celebrating the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World. A major library in Washington became an attractive place to continue their craft and earn a living.
The artists also had a sense of humor. I like this one. Check out the classic Greek image, above. Notice that they're playing baseball. The man on the far right holds a pennant; next to him a guy rests a bat over his shoulder; another has a glove; still another looks like he's winding up to pitch. The Library explains, "At each end of the ceiling is a rectangular panel by Frederic C. Martin painted in a style depicting ancient games, but representing the modern sports of football (east end) and baseball (west end)."
This statue has an interesting story to tell, too. The most visible feature, literally, is the torch in her hand. Why not just a regular statue? Why did someone create it as a giant lamp? We were told that it's because the Jefferson Building was the first structure in Washington, DC that was wired for electricity as part of its construction. People came to the Great Hall at the turn of the last century simply to marvel at the light bulbs. An oversized statue-lamp embodied a wonderful combination of art and technology, a reflection of the United States' image of itself at the time.
You wouldn't be able to see the detail on this photo even if I'd reprinted it for you in full size. Again, that's due to the bad camera primarily. Ignore that. Just trust me when I tell you that each of the small rectangles contained the name of someone famous a century ago. The ceiling in this area was marked into sections denoting various professions. I think this one was medicine. There were dozens, maybe a hundred names in these little blocks stretching across a gallery of professions. I didn't recognize more than a handful. These remarkable figures have largely faded into obscurity.
Alas, fame is fleeting but knowledge is forever.
5 Responses to "Visiting the Library"
Ah, my favorite place in DC. I'm the sort of person who's attracted to libraries, and this one is incredible. Thanks for the reminder of my old haunt.
On a different note, a news report on a Census Bureau study of income inequality contained (surely unintentionally) this amusing bit:
The inequality wasn't as evident in less-populous areas such as Loving County, Texas
Yeah, that would qualify as "less populous" 🙂
As someone who works in a library, I'm almost ashamed of myself for not taking in the full Library of Congress experience. I do remember (vaguely) taking a "tour" with my parents as a child, but all I recall is watching a movie and gazing over the Great Hall (I don't recall ever being able to get into the meat and potatoes of the library).
My grandmother worked here for a year or so back in the 50s or 60s. My only experience in trying to actually use the library was writing a letter to my Senator in 1991 to see if he could procure the library's copy of the first issue of Nintendo Power. I'm not kidding…
I still have the first issue of Nintendo Power if you need it . . . I'm just sayin'.
Love the LOC. I worked there the summer after I graduated from college. If I remember correctly, you can get all the way to the Capitol via the underground tunnels.

TL Seat Parts
Have you ever thought about the importance of the seats in your Acura TL? You spend all of your time sitting, so comfort is a must unless you want each trip to give your body aches and pains. Discomfort is not a frivolous thing to worry about, since it can cause distraction on the road. In order to be as effective as possible at keeping you safe, your front seats need to be able to reliably shape themselves to your body.
Adjustability is arguably the most important factor of a front seat, for both safety and comfort. Customization such as fore-and-aft position, seat depth and height, backrest angle, and headrest level are standard on all front seats. Being properly positioned to reach the wheel and pedals is essential to safe driving. Reliable functionality is equally important so you can make adjustments if multiple people use the same car.
If parts of your Acura TL seat fail, you can either replace the seat entirely or simply change out the pieces that don't work anymore. Front seat are made up of many individual parts, including power cords, seatbelts, frames, cushions, pads, and covers. Newer models might even have seat warmers or cooling ventilation. Purchasing genuine OEM replacement parts guarantees a high-quality product that is compatible with the rest of your seat, since they are created specifically for your vehicle.
Sometimes a seat works fine, but needs aesthetic repair due to sun damage or spills. It's especially difficult for aftermarket options to match the style of your original seat for cushions, pads, and covers. If only one seat has outward damage, it will always stand out if you buy generic replacement parts. With OEM parts for your Acura TL seats, you never have to worry about a design or color that doesn't fit your original interior. Preserve the luxurious driving experience of your Acura by keeping your seats in prime condition.
No results found for "seat parts;seat". Here are some helpful search tips:

- Be less specific. Example: brake instead of ceramic brake.

Hi, the first letter was sent to my billing address, not my shipping address. I do not know if it is just me or other folks had this trouble but I just planned to let you guys know. It was definitely disappointing not getting the letter where I am correct now!
It is the best time to make some plans for the future and it's time to be happy. I've read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you some interesting things or suggestions. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I wish to read even more things about it!
