The head caste in Ancient and future Israel, the koheinim (priests) are Levi'im (Levites) who are descended from Aharon ben-Amram-v'Yokheved HaLevi.
"Cohen" is a variant of "Kohein". In turn, "Cohen" has variants such as "Katz" ("Kohan Tzedek", as in Phoebe Katz (Cates) Klein), "Kagan" or "Kajan" (variants of "Kahan" or "Kahane"; as in Associate SCOTUS Justice Elena Kagan), "Kohn" and "Kahn" (as in John Kohn (changed to Kerry by his granddad, Fritz Kohn)), and "Cohan" (a variant of "Kohein" not to be confused with the variant for the Irish "Keohane", though that may have some, if any, origins among koheinim based in Ireland).

A term used to describe an attractive geek. Comes from the character Seth Cohen on the O.C.
by skinner likes dogfood February 22, 2005
The female version of a Cohen is far from geeky. Intelligence and street smarts are parts of her world but fail to make up the total essence of who she is.A Cohen is beautiful, sexy( due to an exceptionally well-curved bod), and irresistible to the opposite sex. She's a girl who's confident and independent. No man is necessary to make her whole, and that's why they can't resist her charm. A Cohen is quirky, witty, and sweet. Her interests are varied, and this girl can do anything! Just because she's decided she will.
Boy 1(replying to particularly smart remark): "I swear, Cohen, you're more obnoxious than me... good thing your pretty, huh?"
Boy 2: " There's just something about you...you're charming, Cohen"
Man 1: " Cohen,you're gorgeous... and such a smartass"

Skip to comments.Alzheimer's Steals More Than Memory
Posted on 11/02/2004 10:42:07 AM PST by neverdem
It happened without warning, early one day last summer as they prepared to go out. Gloria Rapport's husband raised his arm to her, fist poised.
"He was very close to striking me," she said.
What had provoked him? "Nothing," she said. "I asked him to get in the car."
Mrs. Rapport's husband, Richard, 71, has Alzheimer's disease. His forgetfulness and confusion began about nine years ago, not long after they married. More recently, emotional troubles have loomed. Anxiety came first: he suddenly feared being left alone in the house. Outbursts of anger followed. The man she had always known to be kind and gentle could in an instant turn "cunning, nasty, aggressive, menacing," she said.
"The behavioral changes I've seen are absolutely frightening," she said. "I understand now why so many families institutionalize someone, because I was afraid of him."
Though memory loss is the best-known Alzheimer's symptom, the disease can also cause psychiatric problems that lead to profound changes in personality, mood and behavior. People who were happy and good-natured for most of their lives suddenly become fearful, depressed, deluded or angry, sometimes even violent.
Many families hide such symptoms, and perhaps as a result, psychiatric problems were long thought to affect only a minority of people with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia.
Only recently has it become clear that emotional and behavioral troubles are nearly universal among people with Alzheimer's disease, and the problems are frequently intractable and more upsetting to families than the mental slowing. Depression and apathy are the most common psychiatric symptoms. But agitated, aggressive and psychotic behaviors are a leading reason Alzheimer's patients are put into nursing homes. (The other is incontinence.)
"They are extraordinarily distressing and wearing on caregivers," said Dr. Constantine Lyketsos, a psychiatrist and Alzheimer's expert at Johns Hopkins.
More than four million Americans have Alzheimer's disease, and the number is expected to increase as the population ages.
Dr. Lyketsos said that doctors had become increasingly aware that elderly people who suddenly showed signs of mental illness might actually have Alzheimer's disease, though in the past they might have been given a diagnosis like "late-life psychosis," depression or nervous breakdown.
Mrs. Rapport said: "Most families won't talk about it. I equate this disease to how leprosy used to be. We've lost good friends, and we have family members who won't have anything to do with us. I think they're afraid of it, and there's a real stigma that the person is crazy. I think it's why a lot of families hide people away who have it."
The symptoms distress not just families, but the patients themselves.
"If your moods are labile or you get anxious and scared, there's a fair bit of suffering that goes with that," Dr. Lyketsos said. "If you have visions, or develop ideas that people are trying to steal from you or hurt you, there's a fair bit of suffering."
The emotional disorders can be difficult or impossible to treat. There is no drug specifically approved for psychiatric problems in Alzheimer's patients, so doctors try to treat the symptoms, using drugs meant for other illnesses. They prescribe a wide array of medicines, including antidepressants, antipsychotics used to treat schizophrenia and stimulants and drugs approved for anxiety, epilepsy and memory impairment. Sometimes the drugs seem to work, sometimes they do not.
Dr. Lon Schneider, a psychiatrist who studies and treats Alzheimer's disease at the University of Southern California, said: "Whenever you see a long list of drugs of different classes, you know there's no good treatment. You get a high degree of uncertainty, and companies hyping their antipsychotics."
Over all, Dr. Lyketsos said, the effects of the drugs are moderate. But he added that depression seemed to be the most treatable symptom, and could be eased in half to two-thirds of Alzheimer's patients with drugs like Prozac, which enhance brain levels of the chemical serotonin.
But some psychiatric drugs can have troubling side effects, particularly antipsychotics, which may increase the risk of stroke, diabetes, weight gain, high cholesterol, sleepiness and Parkinson's-like movement disorders.
There is "substantial and increasing controversy" about the use of antipsychotics and other drugs to treat behavioral problems in people with dementia, Dr. Schneider said. Twenty percent of all antipsychotic prescriptions are for the elderly, but there is no good evidence of their effectiveness, he said, adding that the results of a government-sponsored study are due next year.
Meanwhile, behavior therapy and activity programs at adult day care centers may work at least as well as drugs in some patients, and families are urged to try them first. Teaching relatives and the nursing home staff what to expect from a person with dementia and how to avoid confrontations can help to keep the peace.
"There's a tendency for us to want to correct people who are demented," Dr. Schneider said. "You don't do that."
Researchers think the psychiatric symptoms result in part from brain damage, as the disease eats away at nerve centers that regulate mood, perception and the ability to control impulses. But some problems may also arise from patients' anguish and frustration over their increasing confusion and inability to function.
Apathy, depression, irritability, sleep disturbances, agitation and aggression are common. Anxiety, delusions, paranoia and hallucinations may also occur, as well as disinhibition, or loss of impulse control. Patients sometimes think family members are impostors or intruders, or are out to harm or rob them. They may accuse spouses of cheating and slap, push or shout at relatives.
Testifying in March before a Senate hearing on violence among people with dementia, Dr. Lyketsos said that every year, about 15 percent to 18 percent of dementia patients had physically violent outbursts. They can be set off by changes in routine or even a room that is too hot or cold, or discomfort from dental problems or illnesses like colds or bladder infections that patients may not be able to interpret or express. Patients who can no longer bathe or use the toilet without help often misinterpret and resent efforts to help them.
Most of the incidents are minor and no one is seriously hurt, Dr. Lyketsos said.
"In fact, most of the time we never hear about it, sometimes because the caregivers feel embarrassed or ashamed to report it, or may blame themselves," he told the committee. But on rare occasions, real harm is done.
Last year, a man at an assisted living center in Eugene, Ore., shot and killed his wife, an acquaintance and himself; all three had dementia.
Dr. Jason Karlawish, a geriatrician at the University of Pennsylvania's Institute on Aging, said one of the first things he advised families with Alzheimer's patients was to get rid of any guns in the house.
Mrs. Rapport, who lives in Williamsville, N.Y., a suburb of Buffalo, gives her husband a drug called Seroquel to decrease agitation. It is an antipsychotic made by AstraZeneca, and is generally used for schizophrenia. The drug was prescribed by Dr. Pierre Tariot, a professor of psychiatry, medicine and neurology at the University of Rochester, who studied it for 10 weeks in 333 Alzheimer's patients and found that a high dose, 200 milligrams a day, reduced agitation without severe side effects.
Mrs. Rapport said: "I think the drug is absolutely wonderful. It brought him back to the same pleasant person he's always been."
Mr. Rapport has been taking Seroquel for about a year. Several times, he has become combative again, and so Mrs. Rapport increased the dose. Without the drug, she said, she would probably not be able to keep her husband at home.
Each family seems to have a different - and changing - recipe of drugs. Gertrude Affannato, 82, of Philadelphia was taking a memory drug, Aricept, and an antidepressant, Celexa, but a few years ago, as her dementia progressed, she became lethargic and reluctant to leave the house. So her doctor, a specialist at a dementia clinic, added vitamin E and Ritalin, a stimulant.
"It seemed to get her out of her shell and get a spark out of her," said her husband, Louis, also 82. "We were able to go out and do things."
But recently, he said, "she started to get belligerent with me at home and with some of the patients at the day care center."
"She never said a foul word in her life, and now, the least little thing and she'll curse you out," he said. She sometimes hits or pinches him when he tries to bathe her, and he said he worried that she would strike another patient or a nurse, and be thrown out of day care.
"Without that," he said, "I don't know if I could handle it."
Their doctor reduced the Ritalin, and Mrs. Affannato seems to be getting along better with the other patients, he said. But the lethargy and apathy have returned. As soon as she gets home from day care in the afternoon, she wants to eat dinner and go to bed. Then she wakes at 3 or 4 a.m., and wants him to get up, too.
"This is one of the toughest jobs I've ever had to do," he said.
Bob Simons, of Westmont, N.J., took care of his wife, Sylvia, 78, a former kindergarten teacher, at home for three years after her Alzheimer's disease was diagnosed.
"My wife is apathetic," Mr. Simons said during a telephone interview in August. "She's not depressed. Nothing makes any difference to her. She can spend hours in the bathroom examining all the jars and bottles she has on the counter. Once, I waited to see how long she would stay in there, and it was eight hours. She didn't come out for food or anything."
At times, Mrs. Simons suffered from hallucinations, imagining there were strangers in the house. She became careless about her appearance and sometimes wanted to sleep in her clothes instead of changing at bedtime.
"Sometimes I have to physically push her down on the couch and say, 'Take off your blouse, take off your skirt,' '' Mr. Simons said, "and she'll say, 'Oh, I was talking to the nice Bob before, now I'm talking to the mean Bob.' " "It's like I'm married to a different woman," he said.
She was taking several medications meant to slow memory loss, though Mr. Simons said he did not know whether they were helping.
"She might be the same way if I took her off all these drugs, but you're afraid to take a chance," he said. "If she had a good day when I waved a rubber chicken over her head, I'd be waving a rubber chicken over her head every day."
But Mrs. Simons seemed to get worse each day, he said, adding that he might eventually have to put her into a long-term care facility.
In September, he did.
It is a decision that most spouses dread, but must consider.
Mrs. Rapport said: "I'm happy because we can still have a life together - a different life. We still have the companionship. I know Richard would do the same for me. It's part of our journey together. There are no guarantees. I want to keep him home as long as I can."
My mother used to make a nice ginkgo tea for her patient. The family thought he was getting too well because he started asking questions about his money. Some folks benefit from parents being senile.
My grandmother atacked my then 4 year old son twice. Once with a large book and then with a pair of scissors. She was not provoked either. That is when I knew I could no longer care for her in my home. Alzheimer's is one of the most evil and vilest diseases out there.
My mom has encountered problems with patients before. They revert back to their childhood. If their childhood was violent, then it's likely the patient will act out. It's take real skill and talent to deal with them.
FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
My mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's about 4 years ago. Her's ended up being a very aggressive form. I went through hell for 2 years....Alzheimer's victims tend to take it all out on their closest and most loved ones. My mom is currently in a nursing home and the worst is over. By that I mean the violent, aggressive outbursts that break one's heart. She remembers basically nothing other than her childhood. She still thinks her parents are alive even though they died over 20 years ago. I, my cousin, her brother and a few close friends are the only people she remembers. She will, sometime in the near future, even forget us. This is the most excruciating, heart breaking thing I have ever gone through. My mother was a dynamic individual, a business leader who was elected business person of the year in our community 25 odd years ago. To see what this disease does is absolutely the saddest thing I've ever witnessed. My heart goes out to all Alzheimer's victims and expecially their families who must cope and love the victim in spite of the progression of the disease.
I hope that was sarcasm.
That's not appropriate.
I am so sorry for what you and your family are going through with your mom.
My grandmother got like that, and it was very hard.
The last that I heard or read, a definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's can only be made by autopsy.
I dunno, my husband's grandmother (for whom our youngest is named for was the sweetest lady, but... she strangled nurse's aid with panty hose and almost killed them. At the time she was under the strong delusion that she was protecting her home and family.
My grandmother was always throwing tableware and fruit (especially apples) at my kids because she thought they were theiving grifters (her words). Most of the time she thought she was on a train going to meet up with her husband who had been a train conductor most of his life and they traveled a lot by train after the war.
I don't know that they were angry and aggressive, just that their reality and our reality crashed into each other a little hard every now and then.
Alzheimer's is not something I would wish on anyone....including John Kerry. It is the most cruel disease to both the victim and his/her family. My mother in law was diagnosed with Alzheimer's 7 years ago and is still the same, sweet person she always was, only she has NO short term memory. My husband and I call her Dory when we're alone because she is just like the blue fish Dory in Finding Nemo. That might sound cruel & mocking to some, but when a family watches a loved one slip away, sometimes the only thing left is to laugh. The best part of her condition is that she has no idea what is wrong with her as she has since forgotten her diagnosis. Prayers for anyone who is suffering.
My father in law died of Alzheimer's last year after he had reached the point where he forgot how to swallow and inspired food, leading to pneumonia. Over the previous four years, we had watched the progress of this disease until he no longer recognized any family members, knew who he was or what he was doing. This from a man who had been the auditor of a major corporation, who was well read, and who enjoyed life.
He was good natured to the end and never got violent or mean. This is a cruel disease.
Bump For Later
Thank you so much for your kind words of support. It is truly difficult as you know, very painful, very hurtful even though one understands the dynamics of the disease.
Thanks again....
You sir, are an idiot.
You know not of what you speak.
I'm going to take a shot here and guess that your comment is out of youthful ignorance.
For their sakes, I hope your parents will NEVER have to depend on YOU for care in their declining years.
Not a problem.
I'll pray for you guys.
My MIL has it, too, and it is devestating that side of the family.

1954 Nash-Healey Le Mans Coupe
s/n 3133
Gunmetal Grey with Oxblood Leather
Donald Healey met George Mason, President of Nash-Kelvinator in 1949. Healey had enjoyed considerable success with his Silverstone race car in England, and was traveling by ship to America to try to open new markets. As rumor had it, he went to buy a few 331 Cadillac engines to put in the Silverstone as well. One way or another (probably with money) Mason was able to convince Donald that a joint venture would be a good idea and the Nash-Healey was born.
Prototype cars were entered in 1950 at Le Mans (fourth overall behind two Lago-Talbot Gran Prix cars and Sydney Allard in his own J2X); 1951 sixth place and in 1952 third place behind two Mercedes. A car was entered in the Mille Miglia by Geoff and Donald Healey in 1951 where it started as number 406 and finished 30th overall. It was not until the early 60's that another British/American hybrid was to be so competitive.
This particular car is a beautifully restored example above and below. The body is straight and solid with consistent gaps and panel match throughout. The paintwork has been applied to very high standards and is generally excellent, with just a few small assembly related flaws. As the car is freshly restored with few miles logged since, if any, there are not rock chips or any signs of age or weathering to speak of. The glass, lenses, and badging is also complete and excellent. The chrome has been restored in its entirety. The car sits on restored chrome wire wheels with new Michelin XVS series tires.
The interior is also restored to high standards with excellent Oxblood leather applied to the seats, dash top, door panels, and rear package tray area. New carpeting has been applied. The headliner has been redone in wool material and is excellent. The beautiful, art-deco gauges have restored and appear as-new. The trunk has been restored and carpeted to match the interior.
The engine bay is restored, and presents beautifully. The engine unit itself is freshly painted in dove gray, and the correct cloth wiring harness is present. The underhood appears to be largely correct in equipment, and could not be cleaner. The underside is also nicely detailed, and has been largely refinished as part of the restoration work.
The car runs and drives, making good power with no smoke. The transmission shifts well, the suspension is sound, and the brakes are effective. There will however, be some additional detail work to be performed by the enthusiastic new owner. There are no wiper motors or assemblies, and the speedometer and tachometer are not yet functioning. There may be other ancillary needs we are not aware of, and we invite interested parties to perform pre-purchase inspections.
One of just a few hundred examples built, this beautifully restored example will be a welcome entrant to many of North America and Europe's concours venues. As a pre-1957 production, the Nash Healey is also eligible for several premier tour and rally events including the California Mille.

The C63 AMG has the P31 package which provides the 6.2 liter M156 V8 with stronger forged internals and a more aggressive tune. It is about equal to a C63 AMG with a tune on it so power should be somewhere in the low 420 WHP range. So the M5 has more power, but also a few hundred more pounds to carry.
The C63 belongs to BenzBoost member @xtyper and he claims it is stock. The M5 is also stock. Hard to understand why the M5 does not pull away up top with all that horsepower.

Money Management
Is by far and away the most important part
of being a successful gambler of any kind. In sports betting, it is even more
important. If you are a good handicapper and you manage your bankroll
correctly, you will never go bust or broke. Poor money management has busted
many people I know. You have to have some patience, some self-discipline and
self-control. If you cannot, that is OK. I would consider your bankroll as
spending money and treat your handicapping as more of an entertainment cost versus
an investment. There is nothing wrong with that. Sports gambling is fun as
hell. You will be entertained. It is just like going to the casino with $200
and playing $25 hands of Blackjack. Your odds of making money without using any
money management are very slim to none. Yes, the goal in all of this is to make
money. And at some point you would hope to spend/see some of your winnings. But
you cannot depend on money in your bankroll to pay bills or to buy cool things.
If you do, you have to adjust your bet size. Once you remove money from the
bankroll, it is no longer part of the bankroll. That means you should also
change your bet sizes accordingly. Most people like moving their bet sizes up
when winning, but have a hard time moving back down when losing. When you
should move your bet size down (because you are no longer in that 1-2% range),
it is usually after a bad run. You also probably had a decent amount more then
you do now. Some people have pride issues with moving down. A lot of people
will start chasing their losses when it gets to this point. When everything is
going good, it is easy to fall into a nice little trap where you give it all
back, and more. I have seen it in poker many times, where someone placed in 10
$5 sit and go tournaments in a row and now think it is time to try a $100
tournament. Well I see it happen in sports gambling even more. Don't fall for
it. If you want to be successful long term with this, treat it like a marathon
and not a sprint. Even if you win that big one, you will be even more brain
washed that this is like printing money, which usually leads to taking more
shots, chasing losses, and going busto. Chasing is a term I use to describe
what happens to most gamblers during a bad spell. Let's say you are a $50 per
unit gambler. On Sunday, you play 7 football games for $50 each, and they all
lose. On Monday, you decide you want to make a $400 bet on the Monday Night
Football game to make it all back. You think to yourself, "I just lost 7 in a
row, no way I can lose this one."
This is commonly referred to as "Gamblers Fallacy", where in
our minds we think that previous results can dictate future results. People
sometimes confuse the probability of things happening with what has already
happened. Meaning if you start on game 1, your odds of losing 10 in a row are
very low, but if you already lost 9 in a row and are betting on a 50/50
outcome, your odds are still 50/50 regardless of the previous results. This
sounds so simple, but casinos and bookmakers have made a lot of money because
people confuse these idea. This is very bad on multiple levels. If you lose,
you will probably tilt yourself into chasing until you bust. If you win, this
scenario will happen again, and you will remember the time you bailed yourself
out by chasing. It is a vicious cycle.
Lets all make Money Guys!!

TeethBondingCenter.info York, AL is the best place to find the perfect dentist for your Teeth Bonding needs. Bonding is the application of a tooth-colored composite resin (plastic) to repair a decayed, chipped, fractured or discolored tooth.

- To repair decayed teeth (composite resins are used to fill cavities)
- To repair chipped or cracked teeth
- To improve the appearance of discolored teeth
- To close spaces between teeth

BOL bud
Nothing in cfb tonight?
Question (maybe I need to rethink my opinion of you cause you dont make much sense lately).
If your prediciton is 20-14 and the spread is -7 and 43.5
I see 1pt of value on Tenn (acually a half point because the spread is not 7 its 6.5 but whatever). And 9.5 pts value on the under. It dont take a rocket scientist to figure out based on your own prediction the Under is the right call. Dont make any sense whatsoever.

The ultimate cycling jacket
Test ride any of Rapha's Classic products to destruction and if you are not 100% satisfied within 30-days you can return them for a full refund.
A high-performance jacket for tough winter road riding. Originally launched in 2004 – and part of the Rapha range ever since – today it is acknowledged as the world's finest road riding jacket. Conceived as an all-day outer shell that was windproof, highly breathable (and didn't involve fluorescent Lycra), the jacket has won numerous plaudits and the latest incarnation includes improved cuff bindings. Versatile enough to be worn in all but the warmest conditions, if you're looking for the one Rapha product to start restocking your riding wardrobe, this is it.
"[Proof that] bike gear needn't commit crimes against fashion."
– The Independent (London)
It is the cut that sets it apart… no wonder it looks more at home on the pages of GQ than Cycling Monthly.
– The Daily Telegraph (London)
"A softshell is a must for every rider's wardrobe."

"America really was attacked on 9/11, and any president would have followed up with a counterstrike against the Taliban. Yet the Bush administration... derived enormous political benefit from the impulse of a nation at war to rally around its leader. Another president might have refrained from exploiting that surge of support for partisan gain; Mr. Bush didn't. And his administration has sought to perpetuate the war psychology that makes such exploitation possible. Step by step, the fight against Al Qaeda became a universal "war on terror," then a confrontation with the "axis of evil," then a war against all evil everywhere. Nobody knows where it all ends.
What is clear is that whenever political debate turns to Mr. Bush's actual record in office, his popularity sinks. Only by doing whatever it takes to change the subject to the war on terror - not to what he's actually doing about terrorist threats, but to his "leadership," whatever that means - can he get a bump in the polls. Last week's convention made it clear that Mr. Bush intends to use what's left of his heroic image to win the election, and early polls suggest that the strategy may be working. What can John Kerry do?
Campaigning exclusively on domestic issues won't work. Mr. Bush must be held to account for his dismal record on jobs, health care and the environment... To win, the Kerry campaign has to convince a significant number of voters that the self-proclaimed "war president" isn't an effective war leader - he only plays one on TV. This charge has the virtue of being true. It's hard to find a nonpartisan national security analyst with a good word for the Bush administration's foreign policy. Iraq, in particular, is a slow-motion disaster brought on by wishful thinking, cronyism and epic incompetence. "

09/02/04: Fast and Speedy!
Hi i just wanted to thank A.T. and Jesse for the quick delivery of my order. its much appreciated.
thanks, dustin
- Text of the pink slips from this demo:
From the NY Times: "Holding up pink slips of paper symbolizing the notices employees sometimes receive when their jobs have been terminated, the demonstrators held a line from Wall Street in Manhattan's downtown and stretched north about three miles to the midtown area where the Republican National Convention is in its third day today at Madison Square Garden."
The book actually arrived on Tuesday. Sorry I could not let you know earlier. I have started reading it and I am already drawn in. I think it is one of those books one will enjoy to read and reread. Plus, I think I will be able to discover some surely amazing bands through this book which I have not heard of before. Can´t wait to continue reading tonight. So much for now. Have nice weekend and thanks again.
Best, Henning

Good day, Mike
- Groucho Marx
"I don't think he's read the report in detail. It's five-and-a-half pages, double-spaced." -- Larry Speakes explaining why Ronnie didn't know about a recent truck bombing in Beirut. 5 Oct 1984
"There are times when you really need him to do some work, and all he wants to do is tell stories about his movie days." -- Anonymous White House aide. 31 Aug 1980
"He knows less about the budget than any president in my lifetime. He can't even carry on a conversation about the budget. It's an absolute and utter disgrace." -- House Speaker Tip O'Neill after a meeting with Ronnie. 23 Nov 1980
"God, he's a bore. And a bad actor. Besides, he has a low order of intelligence, with a certain cunning. And not animal cunning, Human cunning. Animal cunning is too fine an expression for him. He's inflated, he's egotistical -- he's one of those people who thinks he is right, and he's not right. He's not right about anything." -- Movie director John Huston (to Rolling Stone), after a meeting with Ronnie.
"To think that the guy became President is really kind of funny." -- Viveca Lindfors (to People), talking about Ronnie.
"An amiable dunce." -- Clark Gifford (former Defense Secretary), describing Ronnie at a Georgetown dinner party.
"... that incoherent cretin." -- Andre Faulds (British Labour Party member), discussing Ronnie in Parliament.
"I was sitting there so worried about 'throw weight', and Reagan suddenly asks us if we've seen War Games." -- Anonymous Congressman after a meeting with Ronnie to discuss arms control. 7 June 1983
"He only works three to three and a half hours a day. He doesn't do his homework. He doesn't read his briefing papers. It's sinful that this man is President of the United States." -- Tip O'Neill exasperated after meeting with Ronnie. 31 Oct 1983
"Since when is it considered cruel and unusual punishment to expect the President to learn the facts he needs to govern?" -- Geraldine Ferraro asking an impossible question to answer. 11 Oct 1984
"Mr. Reagan's ignorance about the Soviet Union and his air-headed rhetoric on the issues of foreign policy and arms control have reached the limit of tolerance and have become and embarrassment to the US and a danger to world peace." -- The Chicago Tribune telling the truth in endorsing (!) Ronnie for re-election. 28 Oct 1984
"The task of watering the arid desert between Reagan's ears is a challenging on for his aides." -- Columnist David Broder, stating the obvious.
"What do you do when your President ignores all the palpable, relevant facts and wanders in circles?" -- David Stockman (ex Reagan Cabinet member), explaining what briefings with Ronnie were like. 12 April 1986
"When you meet the President you ask yourself, 'How did it ever occur to anyone that he should be Governor, much less President?' " -- Henry Kissenger expressing his thoughts to a group of scholars at the Library of Congress. 18 April 1986
"His answers to any questions about young men being killed for some vague and perhaps non-existent reason in Central America has been to smile, nod, wave a hand and walk on. And America applauds, thus proving that senility is a communicable disease." -- Columnist Jimmy Breslin explaining Ronnie's ability to "get away with it".
"Stupefyingly incredible." -- British Labour Party member Denis Healy's reaction to Ronnie's "explaining" trading weapons for hostages with Iran. 14 Nov 1986
"If he knew about it, then he has willfully broken the law; if he didn't know about it, then he is failing to do his job. After all, we expect the President to know about the foreign policy activities being run directly out of the White House." -- Sen. John Glenn concisely summarizing Ronnie's complicity in Iran-Contra. 25 Nov 1986
"So shockingly dumb that by his very presence in the office he numbs an entire country." -- Columnist Jimmy Breslin offering an accurate description of Ronnie.
"If we told Reagan to walk outside, turn around three times, pick up an acorn and throw it out into the crowd, we'd be lucky to get a question from him asking, 'Why?' " -- Unnamed White House source on Ronnie's personality.
"Poor dear, there's nothing between his ears." -- British Prime Minister, and fellow reptile, Margaret Thatcher, neatly summing Ronnie up in 7 words. A New York Times article after a Moscow summit (6/2/88)
You maybe do not realize this,but in Europe (the old world) - or at least in Denmark - theres is something known as "the package from America" ... But after WW2, when a lot of people here had a hard time getting shit together. A lot of them went to the US to try their luck. (one of my dad's childhood friends went to Massachussetts (correct spelling hehe) and became a chief mechanic for The Ford Corp ........
Oh HELL i'm ranting. and the story is not important ... The important thing is: There's still something awesome about recieving a package from the US. Especially when its filled with stickers and old newspapers and stuff. (I also thought it was cool getting a letter from Powell and Peralta ... and the fact that Dogtown Skates bought on of my drawings, while never setting a foot in the US. hehe) Considering that I could have gotten the book in hardback from Amazon for the same price ... I still love the fact that theres actually a HUMAN (Jesse?) who vigoruosly will follow the orders to the door, and give the costumer a very nice experience.... THANK YOU!
And though I'm not a writer, Im still working for (designing) the # ONEnewspaper in denmark ... and my journalist colleagues who heard my outburst of joy - recieving your package .... not the book alone .. THE PACKAGE ... said 'make a story about it' .... soo... (well if I do I'll send you a copy - maybe even translated) : OK im a little drunk --- BUT I'M HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY
Say HELLO to Jello and give him massive hug - 15 years ago i thought it ... and I still think so ...JELLO FOR WORLD PRESIDENT !!!
Over and outAwestruck yours, Peter :)
03/06/04: Citizen Fish and AT
I received my order. Thanks for trying to trying to contact me about the out of print seven inch; the credit slip is fine. Recently I bought some stuff at a Subhumans show, and the merch guy (I'm pretty sure it was Jasper of Citizen Fish) could've ripped me off when he accidentally misquoted the price without me noticing, but he didn't. It's encouraging that there are still people like y'all who give a shit about their customers, and I'll bet you weren't even forced to attend an idiotic "knock-their-socks-off customer service" seminar!
thanks again, Eric W.
thanks again, sean
Sincerely, Shannon

As I was walking through the old, medieval part of the city, I just happened to see a little stitchery shop called Mercerie Catherine. The inside was cozy and stuffed to the gills with patterns and samples (mostly cross-stitch and embroidery) as well as beautiful lace, ribbon, threads, and woven cloth for stitching. Of course I especially loved the swiss-themed patterns and pictures. I'm a total sucker for red and white – I feel inspired to finally make a red and white quilt this Christmas.
I thought it would be fun to buy a little bit of ribbon and trim as a memento so I picked the Swiss cows and flags as well as the 'Poulets' (chickens). I got a meter of each and when the owner told me the price I about died at how expensive it was for three little meters of trim! Yikes! By then it was already cut and my French was not good enough to get myself out of it, so I now need to think of something extra special for my expensive little trims! I love to collect Christmas ornaments from other countries, and didn't find any on this trip, so I think I'll use some of my trim to make my own commemorative Swiss ornaments. That might help assuage my sticker shock.
When my husband wasn't working we took a drive around the north side of Lake Geneva, stopping in the little towns along the way to Lausanne. It was beautiful, but I have to admit I was a little disappointed that it was such an overcast day which meant limited views of the lake itself or the alps on the other side of the lake. (I've since been told, this is typical, so I don't take it as personally anymore.)
Lausanne was another charming old city. While there we passed a Bernina vendor- one of my very favorite Swiss exports. (Felt appropriate since I love my Swiss-engineered Bernina!) Just beyond Lausane were incredible vineyards built on terraced hillsides. I've never seen anything like it – I can only imagine how spectacular they look on sunny days with the lake as a backdrop.
On our final afternoon in Switzerland, we decided to try driving to see some Alps. We didn't have time to visit central Switzerland on this trips, but we were close to the French alps to the south – only an hour away in Chamonix, France. My husband is a mountain lover especially and liked the idea of riding the tram to see Mont Blanc. We were so happy the skies were clear so that we finally got to see the spectacular alpine views. The tram ride was exciting (if not a little stomach lurching at moments) and the views from the top were incredible. There was a way-station carved out of and built in the rock of the mountain. It felt like being inside the Matterhorn ride at Disneyland, only it was the real thing! And no, that's not us doing the mountain climbing in the picture on the right.
I have a few more pictures to share from Paris, but there's enough that I'll save the traveloguing for another post. I still can't believe we were actually there. Now that we're back in the normal routine it all seams like a dream. I feel so lucky (and a little spoiled) to have been able to go, but I've learned from missed chances in the past, to grab opportunities when they come, because you never know when they'll come again!
