WASHINGTON — Resurgent Rick Santorum said his sweep of three GOP contests earned his shoestring campaign $250,000 overnight, cash he needs to take his upstart bid for the Republican presidential nomination to Mitt Romney's turf.
Santorum's stunning victories Tuesday in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado marked his best performance thus far in the rollicking contest for the Republican presidential nomination — and Romney's worst. The better-funded and organized former Massachusetts governor shrugged off his poor showing, but his losses were stinging reminders of a stubborn weakness: Romney's inability to appeal to the conservatives at the base of the party.
It was far from clear, though, that Santorum would be able to turn his momentum into the millions of dollars he would need to overtake Romney. But in the hours after his victory, Santorum said he's finally being heard and supported by conservatives who want a clear contrast to President Barack Obama.
"I think last night we raised a quarter of a million dollars online," Santorum told CNN's "Starting Point" the morning after. "We are going to have the money we need to make the case we want to make."
That overnight haul was part of a larger two-day take of $400,000, Santorum told reporters following an event Wednesday near Dallas with a group of pastors.
And to take the fight to Romney's virtual home states. On MSNBC's "Morning Joe," Santorum said he'd debate Romney in Arizona, the home of a sizable Mormon population and a key patron, Sen. John McCain, the GOP presidential candidate in 2008. Also on Santorum's travel schedule: Michigan, where Romney's father was governor.
The developments shifted the Republican political narrative just as Romney had aggressively courted conservatives and they had begun to embrace him in the first step toward what many Republicans hoped would be a swift end to the nomination fight.
Instead, Santorum thrived and relegated House Speaker Newt Gingrich, another contender for the conservative vote, to the rear of the results Tuesday with Texas Rep. Ron Paul. Gingrich mostly skipped the three-state race, focusing instead on Ohio and its vote on Super Tuesday, March 6.
A subdued Romney congratulated Santorum and said he'd press on.
"This was a good night for Rick Santorum," Romney told supporters in Denver on Tuesday. He offered a bit of forced optimism: "We'll keep on campaigning down the road, but I expect to become our nominee with your help."
Romney added, "When this primary season is over, we're going to stand united as a party behind our nominee to defeat Barack Obama."
Santorum cast the results as a victory for a purer form of conservatism than Romney has offered, heard more clearly by voters across the nation's midsection without a deafening TV air war that Romney has dominated.
Santorum, the former Pennsylvania senator, said in a nationally broadcast interview Wednesday that he thinks conservative Republicans "are beginning to get" that he represents the party's best chance to oust Obama.
He also ripped into Romney's compromises on health care, economic bailouts and cap and trade and mocking Romney's attempt to be seen as the political outsider in 2012.
"Gov. Romney, Mr. Outsider, was for government takeover in health care, was for government takeover of the private sector of the Wall street bailout and was for the government takeover of industry and energy with the cap and trade," Santorum said on CNN. "So Mr. Private Sector was Mr. Big Government when he was out there running for the private sector."
In the glow of victory, he looked past Romney to the general election. As the Republicans fight, Obama watches from his perch in the White House — and waits.
"I don't stand here to be the conservative alternative to Mitt Romney, I stand here to be the conservative alternative to Barack Obama," Santorum said Tuesday night.
He wasn't the only loser.
On the first day of multistate voting, the trio of contests exposed a glaring deficiency for Gingrich.
The former House speaker lacked the resources and organization to compete just as he's trying to project strength heading into Super Tuesday. He made only minimal efforts in the three states that voted Tuesday and stayed out of sight as the results rolled in. Gingrich is focusing on Ohio, where early voting for the March 6 primary has begun.
To be fair, Tuesday's contests will have little bearing on the race for delegates. Missouri's nonbinding primary in particular was little more than an extensive warm-up routine. The state will hold an official caucus in March.
But even symbolic victories can produce or slow momentum.
Romney's camp began downplaying the results hours before the voting began. Rich Beeson, his political director, released a memo earlier in the day noting that even McCain lost 19 states on the way to capturing the nomination in 2008. And Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt, the director of Romney's congressional endorsements, released a statement as the votes began showing his candidate had lost in Blunt's home state.
"I congratulate my friend Rick Santorum on his win tonight," Blunt said. "But the fact remains that this is a nonbinding primary, meaning Missouri's delegates are still very much up for grabs."
Following Maine's low-profile caucuses, which conclude Saturday, the candidates will have an extended lull. Beeson recently noted that momentum would be vital heading into the 17-day period without an election, something he likened to a grand canyon with no precedent in modern presidential politics.
"If you don't have momentum and resources coming into it, it's going to be hard to have momentum and resources coming out of it," Beeson said.
That was a week before he realized his boss would suddenly see his momentum disappear.

All around the New York City area and slightly north, toll booths are being removed and replaced with electronic cashless tolling. This means that anyone entering or leaving New York City in their own vehicle will need to have an E-ZPass in their vehicle to pass through these "tolls." Passing through these tolls without an E-ZPass will create a fine to be paid for your vehicle. These will not be small fines and will be strictly enforced once all of the cashless tolling is fully installed.
This step up in modernization will greatly help the flow of traffic, the burning of fuel and commuter travel time. Governor Cuomo hopes to have this in place by the end of 2017.
This is also the beginning of a major plan to rebuild and renovate New York's airports, roads, bridges and an expansion of the Javits Convention Center. So watch out world…New York is getting a make-over!

Financial Resources
Making sure a loved one gets the right long-term care is a task in and of itself, and navigating the funding options adds additional levels of complexity to an already difficult process. At Canyon Creek, we work with financial experts to guide families through the process of exploring all financial options including long-term care insurance and Veterans Programs. These are just a few items to consider when seeking the assistance of a financial adviser.
Long-Term Care Insurance:
This type of insurance provides varying levels of coverage for care that is typically not covered by other forms of insurance, such as memory care assisted living. Long-term care insurance is an anticipatory protection and will not apply for preexisting conditions.
Veteran's Benefits:
The VA designed this program to help Veterans and their surviving spouses receive the financial support necessary to ensure their continuing care in a memory care setting. The VA Pension Plan provides benefits to both Veterans and their surviving spouses. This pension with the additional benefit of Aid and Attendance can provide up to $1,209.00 per month to a surviving spouse, up to $1,881.00 per month for a single veteran, up to $2,230.00 per month to a married veteran, or $2,984.00 per month to a veteran couple.
Eligibility Requirements:
- Veteran must have served at least 90 days of active duty, with at least one day served during a time of war.
- Veteran must show limited net worth. (Assets do not include your personal residence, car).
- Financial need – in general, there must be less income yearly than the cost of care provided.
Services included but not limited to the following:
- Memory Care
- Assisted Living services
- Medication management
- Bathing, Dressing, and Personal Care
- Mobility support
- Meal Preparation
- Housekeeping
- Transportation
Life Insurance:
Some forms of life insurance can be used to fund the costs of assisted living and other care services.
Gift Tax Exemption:
Family members can offset the costs of a loved one's long term care by taking advantage of the IRS gift tax exemption. This allows individual family members to gift up to $14,000 per person, per year without paying gift tax.
At Canyon Creek, we are committed to offering quality care and assistance to our aging population and you can rest assured that our family will take great care of yours.

I would talk to the guys at Ocean Extreme Sports down in St. Augustine FL about the 16M Lithium One. I was there last December asking about a lightwind kite, and that was their recommendation. They had flown this kite a lot and would probably give you some good specifics. (I did not get to fly that kite)ac17 wrote:So - has anyone TRIED the Airush Lithium One 16m......?
I'm thinking of getting one for LW boosting on a 130 TT when it's not windy enough to be on my other Kites...

Marloth Park is a three thousand hectare wildlife conservancy and holiday town situated on the southern border of the Kruger National Park, between Malelane and Komatipoort in Mpumalanga. It is popular for tourists travelling to the Kruger National Park, Swaziland, and Mozambique, offering a chance to spot four of the renowned Big Five.

While the park has little in terms of infrastructure, you will be able to find the basics, including a variety of restaurants, numerous shops, a petrol station, hardware store, and bottle store. With the exception of elephant Marloth Park boasts four of the Big Five, however, elephants can often be seen splashing about in the Crocodile River that divides Marloth Park from the Kruger National Park. Rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard can be found in Lionspruit, a separate game reserve within Marloth Park, while other wildlife such as kudu, zebra, giraffe, blue wildebeest, baboon, bushbuck, vervet monkeys, nyala, impala, warthog, and ostrich are free to roam between the units. The park interior remains unfenced, but is it is separated from the Kruger National Park via a fence and the Crocodile River. Two entrances can be used to enter the Kruger National Park, namely Crocodile Bridge and Malelane. The advantage to Marloth Park being so close to the Kruger is that visitors can enjoy the convenience of exploring the park, while having a less commercialised area to come back to at the end of the day. Due to the lack of fences, visitors are encouraged to explore Marloth Park at their leisure with bush walks, self-drives, and bicycles. Keep an ear out for the distant roar of a lion at night. Whether you visit for a weekend or a month, Marloth Park is a great destination for wildlife experiences and exciting family adventures.

In Roger Sanchez's eyes, music is cyclical. It's about "drawing influences from the past and re-imagining it in a completely different way." Hence why his forthcoming album will be called Roots.

"At that time, the dominant forms of dance music in New York were freestyle and hip-hop, and house was almost the return of disco," he says.

Contrary to what the name and form factor might suggest, the Aladdin Vaporizer was not a tool to help you get high. Instead, according to one enthusiast of all things Aladdin, the device was used to make insects vanish.
Aladdin Magic Vaporizer, kills insects, with original instructions found by Bill & Treva Courter. Made by M & M Mfg. Co., Amarillo, Texas. No date. "Use the vapor method to control many annoying insects, such as flies, mosquitoes, gnats and other small flying insects." One capsule treats 1000 cubic feet.
I shudder to think what sort of gas was used in this thing, and whether or not people sat in the room while the vaporizer was at work, but if you want to own a bizarre piece of the past, the Aladdin Magic Vaporizer can be yours on Etsy for $22. [Etsy, Aladdin Knights]

The Gemini Agent
The war is coming, thought Nverinn wearily.
As always, it would be fought by the young.
The old would plan and start the war, of course. But the young would fight it. The old would make the stirring speeches and rattle the swords, but the young would do the dying, sucked through breached hulls into the void of space.
Nverinn tr'Rehu could not fathom how anyone could doubt these facts: war coming likely within a decade, and thus the imperative of aiming the attention of the Star Empire's laser on the young. Both sides would send their ranks into hell's mouth. The best of those warriors, the ones who would turn the tide—whether Romulan or Federation—well, right now the males could barely grow facial hair, and the females were only recently capable of bearing offspring.
In ten years these young would be in the front ranks.
Everything would depend on them.
His desk workscreen beeped. Nverinn, deep in thought, stared down at the call icon that popped up on-screen. He considered ignoring it, but after a few seconds he reconsidered and tapped the screen.
"Yes?" he asked.
"I have the senator for you," said a voice through the desk speaker.
Nverinn tapped the screen again and a window opened.
"Hello, Nverinn," said the face that appeared. Her mane of graying hair was still a remarkable thing. Most Romulans, like Nverinn, had dark black hair. Tashal had been gifted with a head of beautiful warm brown hair that she was secretly very vain about. It framed her face like a luminous aura.
"Tashal," said Nverinn. "How are you, friend?"
Tashal smiled, though her eyes did not. "Not well," she said.
Nverinn nodded and then said, "You have bad news for me, I expect."
"Well, not entirely," said Tashal.
The Romulan Senate, the military High Command, and the Tal Shiar intelligence agency—the three-headed imperial leviathan—had been revisiting Romulan force tactics for years, preparing for what everyone knew was an inevitable reengagement with United Earth and the Federation. There was so much talk of the humiliation at Cheron nearly a century ago spawning new tactics and technology. But so very little talk of the young warriors who would fight the next war.
Nverinn was just a scientist, but he had longtime allies in all three branches of leadership. Senator Tashal was one of them. He'd known her for more than fifty years. They'd once been lovers, but that seemed like two lifetimes ago.
"I managed to get approvals for your project," said Tashal.
At this, Nverinn sat bolt upright. This was entirely unexpected.
"What!" he exclaimed.
Tashal's eyes widened.
"Yes," she said. "But there is one disturbing condition, courtesy of our friends in Tal Shiar." After an extended pause, she added, "You're not going to like it."
"Tell me," said Nverinn. As he spoke, he tapped at his workscreen, opening up several more windows. Soon he had half a dozen data apps arrayed across the desktop. "I can activate Gemini on a moment's notice. Literally, at the tap of a button."
"I know," said Tashal.
"Gemini is already in place, with a full cover story. We're absolutely ready to go," Nverinn continued eagerly.
"I know that, too."
"Then what is it?"
"The condition is this," said Tashal. "One test agent may be activated."
"Vorta Vor!" exclaimed Nverinn eagerly. "I have only one agent ready to release!"
But the senator sighed. "Please allow me to finish," she said. "That is not the condition I was referring to."
Nverinn stopped dragging open data windows and looked into Tashal's eyes. They'd once been dazzling, bright as supergiant stars. But years of wearing a political mask, of infighting and intrigue and war planning, had left them darkened and wary and—when her guard was down, like now—openly sad.
"Once the agent has run its course," said Tashal, "it must be wiped clean."
Nverinn was shocked into silence.
The senator nodded for emphasis. "Terminated," she said grimly.
Nverinn slumped in his chair. He gripped the armrests and his own eyes began to well up.
"It must be done for the Empire," said Tashal quickly, and then she tapped the monitor, ending the conversation and disappearing from the screen.
This confirmed what Nverinn already knew: Tal Shiar was monitoring this conversation.
"Yes," he said. "For the Empire."

A friend's son suffered an injury while playing his favorite sport, soccer. He twisted his ankle over the weekend. This I heard after the NBA Eastern Conference Finals which went to Miami and the stunning loss of Manny Pacquiao against Tim Bradley. Indeed our weekend was full of sports news and happenings, eh? Anyway, there is no permanent damage to the boy. His doctor just suggested the use of one of those knee scooters so his ankle will not be forced too much while it heals. I wish he gets better soon.

Build a Drugstore Makeup Gift Bag!
My flash went a little wild with this one, but this hot pink bag is another great looking, functional makeup bag! This won't fit your larger palettes, but it's a great size for traveling with makeup. It goes with me whenever I travel- sometimes I use it for jewelry & other accessories too! Comes in other colors as well, so check the Sigma website for details on these.
These other bags (the top one was featured in the video), are more here as examples than something that's available for purchase right now. They're both from past seasons gift-with-purchase promotions- the top one is from Clinique, and the bottom is from Lancome. Just wanted to remind you that if you haven't used those cute bags, why not use them for a DMGB for someone else? Sometimes they have sort of a seasonal look to them- so I could see the top one as a spring birthday gift, or the bottom one as fun gift for the bride during her bachelorette party!
- I have been watching a lot of QVC lately. I find it relaxing & entertaining.
- Some of the items on my makeup wish list for Christmas are from brands seen on QVC! Like Mally Beauty, Laura Geller, and Philosophy. QVC.com has some nice gift sets!
- Big Christmas party for Tyler's law firm this weekend.
- I'm enjoying fruit-flavored herbal tea in the evening.
- I bought Wheaties this week for the first time in a long time.
- Cupcake has the loudest purr. It's sooo cute.
- I'm doing the morning show by myself tomorrow. My co-anchor Kevin has a much deserved day off.
- Just realized I need to be taking my shower right now.
- I have Softsoap shower gel that smells like Christmas Cookies!

The Burglar (1956)

Synopsis by Bruce Eder
Professional burglar Nat Harbin (Dan Duryea) and his two associates, Baylock (Peter Capell) and Dohmer (Mickey Shaughnessy), set their sights on wealthy spiritualist Sister Sarah (Phoebe Mackay), who has inherited a fortune -- including a renowned emerald necklace -- from a Philadelphia financier. Using Nat's female ward, Gladden (Jayne Mansfield), to pose as an admirer and case the mansion where the woman lives, they set up what looks like a perfect break-in; even when Nat's car is spotted by a couple of cops, he bluffs his way through, gets the necklace, and makes the getaway. But the trio -- plus Gladden -- can't agree on how to dispose of the necklace, and soon their bickering becomes a lot less important than the fact that someone is on to what they've done -- a woman (Martha Vickers) is working on Nat, while a man (Stewart Bradley) is working on Gladden. Equally serious, the trio kills a New Jersey state trooper while on their way to warn her. And among the cops chasing them is one with larceny in his heart and murder on his mind.

This is an 18 year-old. We have to admit that we're a little baffled. He's from the Philippines, too, so you know it's only a matter of time before he fights Manny Pacquiao on national television while literally everyone in the nation watches.
Here's CNN's report:
Junrey Balawing of Sindangan in the southern Philippines is 23.6 inches (60cm) tall, making him nearly three inches shorter than the previous record holder, Khagendra Thapa Magar of Nepal.
Balawing was born a normal size, his family said, and they did not notice anything unusual about him until he was about 4 years old and his peers grew more than he did.
He has not grown since his first birthday, his parents told Guinness. [...]
He does not have a girlfriend, he told Guinness World Records editor-in-chief Craig Glenday: "You fool!" he chides in his squeaky high-pitched voice, "Don't even ask!"
Oh, but Junrey's on the market now. Is there any phrase more oozing with sex appeal than "squeaky high-pitched voice?"

New Year's resolutions are a dime a dozen. And the more you make the more you are apt to break.
With that in mind, we would like to offer just one New Year's resolution — to be more tolerant of those with whom we disagree.
On the surface it seems an easy one to fulfill. Don't yell or respond in haste when seemingly certain the other person is wrong.
But tolerance is more than knowing when to shut one's mouth or to pause one's pen before vilifying another. It takes understanding, quite often during times of stress.
This past year offered many moments of stress, the Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings being the most notable.
Sandy Hook reignited the debate over gun control with condemnation coming from both sides of the political aisle — those seeking unfettered access to guns and those wanting to go the way of Japan in banning their private possession.
ObamaCare had the extremes from both the left and right battening down the hatches and manning the battlements.
Gay rights and same-sex marriage led one advocacy group in New Hampshire to predict financial Armageddon unless the traditional notion of family was preserved to foster procreation — rather than considering that a loving family of another kind might meet the challenges of parenthood.
On a more local level, Rochester Planning Directory Kenn Ortmann was accused of being complicit in a United Nations conspiracy to deny residents their property rights rather than to be simply challenged over his proposal to have the Lilac City cooperate with regional planning efforts.
In Dover, conspiracy theories continued to abound in some quarters as the City Council discussed the need to build a parking garage at some point in the future. Would the money really be used for a garage or would it be secretly channelled elsewhere?
Even the existence of Santa Clause become fodder for an angry exchange of letters on our opinion pages this past January in response to our reprinting of "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus."
It would be tempting to offer a universal "chill out" to these and other warring factions. But that would be to exhibit our own intolerance, something which we must admit found its way into editorial commentaries during 2012.
So what's the answer to overcoming intolerance and fulfilling our singular New Year's resolution?
For starters, understanding that the landscape of our lives is not painted in only two colors — black or white. There are many shades of many colors that lead some to see coral and others salmon, some ivory and some a soft linen.
The same applies to moral and political issues of the day — the death penalty, gun control, government regulation, taxation ... the list goes on.
In the final analysis tolerance requires a willingness to consider that the other person or group may be correct. But, if not, to understand what is driving the discussion so that level heads prevail and solutions to common problems are found.

DENVER (AP) – Fiercely debated ammunition limits cleared Colorado's Democratic Legislature on Wednesday and were on their way to the governor, who has said he'll sign the measure into law.
The 15-round magazine limit would make Colorado the first state outside the East Coast to ratchet back gun rights after last year's mass shootings.
Colorado's gun-control debates have been closely watched because of the state's gun-loving frontier heritage and painful history of mass shootings, most recently last summer's movie theater shooting that killed 12.
"I am sick and tired of the bloodshed," said Rep. Rhonda Fields, sponsor of the ammunition limit and a Democrat whose suburban Denver district includes the theater. "Whatever we can do to curb the gun violence and the bloodshed, we have a responsibility to do that."
Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper has said he is ambivalent about the magazine ammunition limit but will sign it. The law gives him 10 business days to do so.
"I wasn't enthusiastic about it, but I'd be willing to sign it," Hickenlooper said Wednesday morning on Denver radio station KOA.
Still pending in the Legislature is the Democrats' other signature gun-control bill, which would require background checks for private and online gun sales. Hickenlooper has more enthusiastically backed that measure, and it was scheduled for a final vote Wednesday.
But a dispute over a Senate amendment has delayed the background-check for at least another day while lawmakers iron out the problem. Democrats are trying to change the bill so that gun owners can give guns to relatives or lend them for short periods without triggering the background-check requirements.
The background-check measure is expected to clear the Legislature, and Republicans have spent hours fretting that rugged Colorado is forsaking its heritage by debating gun restrictions more common to coastal states.
To make the point, Republican Rep. Carole Murray of suburban Castle Rock reminded the House that rural lawmakers once posed for official photos wearing cowboy hats.
"Our state is changing," Murray said. "We are an outdoorsy state, and part of being outdoorsy is ownership of firearms."
Democrats repeatedly cited the Aurora theater shooting and last year's massacre at a Connecticut school as reasons Colorado must take action.
"How many more mass shootings in schools and movie theaters do we have to see before we make changes?" asked Rep. Crisanta Duran, D-Denver.
Two bills in the gun package have not yet faced votes in the House and were just starting consideration Wednesday. Those measures included a ban on online-only gun education required to receive a concealed-weapons permit, and a ban on gun ownership by people facing domestic violence charges.
The fifth and final bill in the Democrats' gun package went to the governor earlier this week. That measure would revive user fees, likely $10, for gun buyers who need background checks. Currently the Colorado Bureau of Investigation does those checks for free and faces a lengthy backlog.
The governor has two business weeks to sign the fee bill, or it becomes law without his signature. Hickenlooper has said he'll sign it.
