For those incapable of doing basic research, this is the summary of a recent Congressional report on Presidential travel policy:
For security and other reasons, the President, Vice President, and First Lady use military aircraft when they travel. The White House generally categorizes the trips as fulfilling either official or political functions. Often, a trip involves both official and political, or unofficial, activities. When a trip is for an official function, the government pays all costs, including per diem (food and lodging), car rentals, and other incidental expenses. When a trip is for political or unofficial purposes, those involved must pay for their own food and lodging and other related expenses, and they must also reimburse the government with the equivalent of the airfare that they would have paid had they used a commercial airline. When a trip involves both official and political activities, a formula determines the amount to be reimbursed for that part of the trip involving political activities. Whether a trip is for official or political purposes, the Air Force pays all operational and other costs incurred by the use of the aircraft. While the travel policies of specific Administrations concerning the reimbursement of expenses for unofficial travel generally are not publicly available, it appears that policy guidelines developed by the Reagan White House have served as a basis for the travel policies of
subsequent Administrations. This report will be updated as new information becomes available.

5 Items on Indiana's Holiday To-Do List When Butler Comes Calling
By (Correspondent) on December 13, 2012
973 reads
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
The top-ranked Indiana Hoosiers have a very easy schedule in December other than a big date with Butler on Dec. 15 at Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.
The Hoosiers sit at 9-0 and are No. 1 in the country, but they will face off with a very dangerous 7-2 Butler squad that already has wins over Marquette, North Carolina and Northwestern on its resume.
IU has wins over Georgetown and North Carolina, but Butler may be the toughest opponent yet because their campus is located in Indianapolis, they play their best against good teams and are well-coached by head coach Brad Stevens.
Against all odds, the mid-major powerhouse Bulldogs made the national championship in both 2010 and 2011, proving they belonged with the best teams in the country. Stevens has a knack for making his teams believe they can do anything. This year is no different as Butler enters its first season as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference.
This game is sure to have an electric, NCAA Tournament feel to it as the crowd will likely be split down the middle with Hoosier and Bulldog fans filling up the arena.
Head coach Tom Crean's Hoosiers must do five things to emerge victorious over the Bulldogs and remain the No. 1 team in the country. Here they are:
Play an Up-Tempo Pace
The Hoosiers score in bunches in their uptempo offense.
Joe Robbins/Getty Images
The Hoosiers lead the nation in points per game, scoring 89.1 PPG. To win this ballgame, the Hoosiers have to play an up-tempo brand of basketball that involves getting the ball up the court rapidly and scoring quickly.
Big man Cody Zeller can run the court as good as anyone, and the Hoosiers are at their best when they are aggressive and have good ball movement leading to open shots.
If the pace is slowed down, it may aid Butler more than Indiana. The Bulldogs score a solid 73.4 PPG, but in past years they've been known to thrive in games where the score has been low and baskets are hard to come by. This year, they've proven they can score and even put up 82 on North Carolina in Maui on Nov. 20.
However, they don't have the firepower to keep up with a Hoosiers attack that can hurt you in so many ways.
The Hoosiers' top five scorers all average 11.9 points per game or above, making it difficult to stop the entire team even if one or two of these guys struggles.
Shut Down Rotnei Clarke
Clarke is the leading scorer for Butler this season.
USA TODAY Sports
The senior guard, who sat out last year after transferring from Arkansas, has impressed in the early going for his new team, leading the Bulldogs in scoring with 17.3 points per game through the team's first nine games.
The sharpshooter has been lethal beyond the arc for Butler, hitting four three-pointers a game and shooting 45 percent from deep.
In Butler's early season loss to Xavier, the Musketeers shut down Clarke, as he scored just seven points on 3-of-11 shooting and was 1-of-7 beyond the arc.
The Hoosiers don't need to stifle him quite that much on the defensive end, but they must limit his effectiveness and make someone else beat them. Khyle Marshall, Kellen Dunham and Andrew Smith all average in double digits for the Bulldogs, but it remains to be seen if they can win a game if their primary scoring option is shut down.
Get Cody Zeller More Touches
Zeller has played well this season, but his ceiling is much higher.
Andy Lyons/Getty Images
An AP preseason All-American, Zeller has played solidly in the early going of the season, averaging 15.4 points and 8.9 rebounds in 27.6 minutes of action per game. There is nothing wrong with these numbers, but the sophomore will have to be the guy to carry the Hoosiers against Butler.
In the first nine games of the season, Zeller has had plenty of time to rest, playing more than 30 minutes just once, when he played 42 minutes in an 82-72 overtime win over Georgetown on Nov. 20.
In many games, he simply hasn't needed to impose his will because the Hoosiers have beaten seven of their nine opponents by 24 or more points. Zeller is only pointing up 8.9 shots per game, a number that must be considerably higher against Butler.
It has been nice to see the Hoosiers able to beat teams in so many different ways, but this game may come down to the Hoosiers getting the ball to their big man as much as possible and letting him lead them to victory.
Zeller must be the shining star in this one if the Hoosiers want to leave Indianapolis with a victory.
Shoot Efficiently from Beyond the Arc
Watford is shooting nearly 45 percent from beyond the arc.
Joe Robbins/Getty Images
The Hoosiers are shooting 39.2 percent from beyond the arc this season and certainly aren't afraid to shoot it from deep.
However, the Hoosiers will have to shoot it efficiently because every possession in this game will be important. This game will not be a blowout like many other games in the past, so the Hoosiers will have to value each possession with even more care because they know every opportunity to score will matter.
So far this year, the Hoosiers have still found ways to win even when they haven't shot well from deep. They must maximize their opportunities against a Butler team that will probably try to slow it down to avoid getting into a track meet with the Hoosiers.
Ease Mosquera-Perea, Jurkin Back in
Perea will be making his season debut against Butler.
Brian Spurlock-USA TODAY Sports
After missing the first nine games serving an NCAA suspension, Hanner Mosquera-Perea and Peter Jurkin, both freshmen, will be eligible to return to action when the Hoosiers take on the Bulldogs.
Mosquera-Perea, a 6'8" physical specimen, is expected to contribute right away and be in the rotation for the Hoosiers. Jurkin, a seven-foot center, is expected to play a more limited role as he develops his skills further.
Hoosier fans are eager to see what these two players can do on the court. But head coach Tom Crean must be cautious with his approach, especially in a nationally televised game against a high-profile opponent in their first game of the season. The two have not seen game action this year and will need to get up to game speed to perform well.
The rest of the December schedule for IU is full of cupcakes, which will give Mosquera-Perea and Jurkin plenty of time to log minutes and build confidence against inferior competition.

Now that John MacLean is gone and Ken Daneyko is in rehabilitation, Scott Stevens may be the one known as Mr. Devil.
Stevens, the Devils' spiritual leader for seven years and their captain, announced today that he had signed a four-year extension and would finish his career in New Jersey. The deal is worth slightly less than his current $17.1 million contract.
The 33-year-old Stevens, who was among several prominent Devils who could become unrestricted free agents after this season, said he wanted to end his career with the team because it is successful and has a chance to win the Stanley Cup, and because his wife, Donna, and three children like New Jersey.
Stevens shook the foundation of the National Hockey League in 1990 when he became the league's first premier player to leave his team as a restricted free agent. He left the Washington Capitals and signed with St. Louis. At the time, his $1 million-a-year salary became the standard for others to follow.

When you think of Justin Bieber,the first thing that leaps to mind probably isn't "spoiling for a fight,international fugitive." But this weekend,the doe-eyed,blow-dried young idol startled his fans – and at least one paparazzo who underestimated him – by allegedly taking a swing at a photographer at a Calabasas shopping mall.
The lensman claims Bieber hit him as he was taking photos of the singer with his girlfriend Selena Gomez. After complaining of pain,the photographer was taken to the hospital and released shortly after. TMZ reports that witnesses say the man was blocking Bieber's car and that after the scuffle,a person identifying himself as a lawyer approached the photographer and suggested he call an ambulance and file a police report. Sheriff's department spokesperson Lillian Peck refused to comment on the case,but if a report has been filed,Bieber,who left the scene after the incident,would now be the subject of a police investigation.
Meanwhile,the singer has said nothing of the incident,opting instead to alert fans that he's "OFF TO EUROPE! PHASE 1 of operation secret concerts!" The guy who spars with Mike Tyson is so tough that he doesn't even acknowledge his alleged brawls.
It must be a particularly pugilistic time of year. Earlier this month,Will Smith slapped a Ukrainian television journalist who tried to kiss him at the Russian premiere of "Men in Black III." Smith then told the crowd,"He's lucky I didn't sucker-punch him."
Whatever went down,neither Bieber nor Smith are the first celebrities to get into it with an invasive press. Three years ago James Gandolfinihit a man who was videotaping him shopping in New York City. And Sean Penn has a long and storied history of mixing it up with the paparazzi – mostly recently in 2009,when he pleaded no contest to vandalism after allegedly "kicking and punching" photographer Jordan Dawes.
Whenever a celebrity loses his cool with a reporter or photographer,the story inevitably turns into an occasion for getting judgmental about both sides. You don't have to look far in the comments of any article on the Bieber story to see a range of self-righteous responses — disgust at the invasiveness of the photographer,incredulity that the seemingly mild-mannered J.B. could take anybody on,the inevitable disdain for a famous person who dares to erupt in anger.
The fact that it's Bieber makes the story so unique. It's a reminder that everyone – even guys with soccer-mom hairstyles and Disney princess girlfriends – has their breaking point. It's one thing when Nic Cage goes ballistic. What else is new? But there's an assumption that nice guys like Will Smith and Justin Bieber never lose their cool. That they exist to blandly take whatever invades their orbit with the unflappable grace of Ryan Seacrest getting ashes tossed on him at the Oscars. Yet in an era of long lenses and the easy assumption that everyone in the public eye is fair game to be touched,to be thwarted in their movements,to have their privacy violated,it might be helpful for the gossipmongers and ambulance chasers alike to remember that everyone has a dark side. And that someday,Betty White just might haul off and belt you.

Not So Much Back To Normal….
Published February 13, 2012 by mytimewellspentWell, wouldn't you know it? The so-called going back to normal for a family that has a loved one battling cancer didn't last very long.
My husband is BACK in the hospital. Thursday he had an appointment to have an Echocardiogram done in order to make sure his heart was doing okay.
Halfway during the testing, the nurse hops up, tells us she has to go check his chart for something and then moved so quickly out of the room, she practically kicked up a breeze as she darted by me.
Next thing we knew, the Cardiologist came into the room, asked us which hospital we preferred and then proceeded to tell us that there is fluid in the sac surrounding Troy's heart. He didn't say if there was a lot but we figured that with how everyone was acting, that there must have been a significant amount there.
Go figure….
So, the nurse comes back and finishes the Echo, which took only about 5 more minutes. Then we headed on over to the hospital so Troy could be admitted in order to get ready for surgery the next morning.
Friday morning comes, the surgeon comes in and talks to us, going over step by step of the procedure and making sure we understood everything.
What they were going to do was to make an incision under his sternum, go in and make their way up towards his heart, cut a couple of holes in the Pericardial Sac and drain off whatever fluid is present. Those two 'windows' as they called them, will stay open in order to allow the fluid to automatically be drained away from his heart since this is going to be a repeating occurrence due to the cancer and the chemo that Troy is going through.
They also made another little hole beneath the incision to place a drain tube to allow whatever fluid remains to drain on it's own.
Well, the surgeon told us that when he's gone in and drained fluid from around hearts before, he usually takes off 30cc's (a cc-cubic centimeter is the same as a ml-milliliter) or less…this would equal to the size of a medicine cup, so imagine that and anywhere from a little bit in that cup to being completely full is what the surgeon said is what he normally would take off of a heart.
Wouldn't you know it? MY husband just HAD to do more than that! The initial drainage during surgery amounted to 700cc's…yes, you read that correctly…700!!! If you take a 24 ounce soda bottle, this is about how much he had drained off of what was around his heart initially. Then to top it off, when he left the recovery room and made it back to his room on the Oncology Ward, they drained off yet another 300cc's (='s to 10 ounces), so in total Troy had over 1000cc's of fluid drained from the sac around his heart…that is equal to about a quart of milk!! Can you IMAGINE having that amount of fluid crushing a human heart? My husband literally could have been sitting there talking to us or laying in bed next to me sleeping and then without warning just DIED!! This was the scariest thing I had ever had to hear and/or imagine!
Luckily he did NOT leave the kids and I. He's still in the hospital though. I miss him so much. This is the second time in a week and a half that he's been away from us…stuck in the hospital. He received two units of blood last night because he was a bit anemic. This also is due to the chemo wreaking havoc on his body.
He's unfortunately had yet another problem pop up. Yesterday the poor nurses kept running down to the room to check on him because his heart rate kept jumping up to the 150′s and reached even higher, to the 190′s. So, the surgeon thought it could possibly be that the drain tube may have migrated up a bit and was touching or just too close to his heart, so they removed the tube. For about 3 hours there was nothing wrong then all of a sudden, while he was just laying there talking to me, the nurse came running into his room again. He had jumped up past the 150 rate yet again. She put in a call to the surgeon and next thing we know, Troy was hooked up to a Magnesium drip and given a beta-blocker which was supposed to slow down his heart rate. So far, so good. Only bad thing is that he just seems too sluggish. I don't know if it's just because of all that's been going on, all the meds, the anesthesia, the anemia or if there's something else going on.
This cancer has sure proven to be a formidable foe for my poor husband. It's just been one obstacle after another but we're coming through them, one by one and Troy has done well with taking on all these small battles…but he still has a long way to go before he can finally win the war against this cancer. If anyone can do it, I have faith that he can be the one.
I have no clue when he'll be able to finally come back home. We're thinking maybe today but not totally sure considering how he's been feeling as of late. He's not wanting to stay there but also not wanting to come home if things aren't taken care of with him 100% and then goes downhill once home and then ends up back in the hospital again. So, we will see how this goes today.

Paper Flower Key Holder
Published February 9, 2012 by mytimewellspent
Here's how:
1. Cut out a circle in the cardboard that is a bit larger than a quarter.
2. Cut your wire hanger in a section that is about 10î long.
3. Bend it like you see in the photo. It should have a hook and an area where you can glue it down. Each end should have a tiny loop. The tiny loop at the top is for the nail.
4. Hot glue the wire on top of the circle of cardboard.
5. Cut out 6 layers of book pages in a flower pattern provided using straight edge scissors and pinking shears so that your flower has texture.
6. Staple the layers together in the middle in an X (this is my big flower making secret)
7. Fold up the top layer to cover the staples and continue folding up the layers to make your flower come to life.
8. Lightly spray with the Krylon Clear Coat and let dry.
9. Give it several more coats of the Krylon Clear Coat but only a little at a time. Do this until the flower is nice and sturdy.
10. Hot glue the flower on top of the wire and disk and hang it with a nail.
Back To Normal….Sort Of….
Published February 3, 2012 by mytimewellspentWell, my husband finally back it back home after 5 days in the hospital. It's been really nice having him back…I sure did miss him! He had a bit of pneumonia going on which of course is expected with cancer patients on chemo. His Oncologist prescribed him some antibiotics for this week and today he ended up having some I.V. fluids administered. Hopefully he'll start to feeling better so he can continue with his chemo which is supposed to be given on Tuesday but he'll more than likely end up having to take a bit of break…maybe a week, in order to let his body try to recover because we sure don't want him to get chemo again, become even sicker than what he was before and then land back in the hospital.
Which is why I listed this post as Back To Normal….Sort Of. Normal would be no more cancer but since this isn't possible now, the routine of taking things day by day, dealing with all the bad parts of cancer and chemo and treasuring each day is what is now our normal. :/

The District Department of Health has notified four businesses on Tuesday, letting them know that they have cleared the last major hurdle and are now eligible to open medical marijuana dispensaries in Washington, D.C. Their next step is to acquire permits and begin the normal process of opening businesses within the District of Columbia.
Yesterday, medical marijuana activists, including the group Americans for Safe Access, rallied outside the D.C. Department of Health to demand that the District begin registering new patients.
"We are here to stand up for medical marijuana patients who are waiting to register for D.C. medical marijuana program," said the ASA's Kayley Whalen, an organizer for the event.
Two years after medical marijuana was legalized in D.C., patients still have no access to it.
On Thursday, Washington, D.C.'s health department announced that of the seventeen original applicants, four medical marijuana dispensary applicants have advanced to the next stage of the District's official approval process.
Health Department spokeswoman Najma Roberts stated that 'the list is pretty final,' suggesting that the remaining 13 applicants will not have an opportunity during this round to garner enough points to move onto the next stage.
Last October, head shops in Washington D.C. were raided by police due to local paraphernalia laws, including Capitol Hemp. It was reported today that as part of a deal with prosecutors, Capitol Hemp will be closing its two locations.
According to DCist, Capitol Hemp's two stores were raided in October of last year, and co-owners Adam Eidinger and Alan Amsterdam were officially charged in December after turning themselves in pursuant to a warrant issued.
Today, DCist reports that as part of a Deferred Prosecution Agreement, Capitol Hemp co-owner Eidinger agreed to close the two stores - in Adams Morgan and Chinatown - by August. "In exchange," says the DCist, "any prosecution for the attempted sale of drug paraphernalia will be put off." This agreement came after months of discussions with prosecutors over what charges the co-owners could face and how it would impact the stores.
During the October raids, Eidinger lost over $300,000 worth of merchandise, which he has not been able to get back. As part of the deal, he will receive the confiscated merchandise, which he plans on trying to return to vendors to recoup some of his losses.
Capitol Hemp has been open since 2008.
This news comes on the heels of other big news in the District; weGrow opened its "Walmart of Weed" on Friday as six growers were approved to cultivate marijuana for local patients.

DiningFrequently Asked QuestionsDining Halls What forms of payment do dining facilities accept?
Guest Meal Tickets can be purchased at the Wilder Student Union Desk, the Office of Admissions, and the Office of Residential Education and Dining Services. The following prices apply to both paper meal tickets and meals purchased with Flex Points, Obie Dollars, or Student/Faculty/Staff Charge.
Can I take food out of the Dining Halls? At our "all-you-can-eat" dining halls (Stevenson and Lord/Saunders), students are free to take a piece of fruit, cookie, or ice cream cone with them at the conclusion of a meal. Entrées must be consumed in the dining hall. At Dascomb Dining Hall, you may purchase food and then either consume it there or take it with you. See the Dascomb Reusable Container Program for related information.I want to treat a friend to a meal. Can any part of my meal plan pay for this? Board meals cannot be used to purchase meals for guests, but you may use the Flex Points that come with your meal plan, as well as Obie Dollars or cash (where accepted).Meal Plans How do Meal Plans work? All students are required to be on a meal plan for the duration of their time at Oberlin. Each meal plan contains a certain number of board meals per week, which are deposited onto your card every Monday morning during the semester. Board meals can be used at any dining hall that accepts board meals. You can only use one board meal on your card per meal period (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Late Night), regardless of location. If you run out of board meals, you can pay for additional meals using Flex Points or Obie Dollars; refer to the information below. Any meals that are not used at the end of each week are lost.Please see Meal Plans for the different meal plans and their rates. Students who live off-campus or in Village housing are eligible for meal plans with fewer meals per week. Which plan should I choose? Assess your eating habits. Meal plans with more meals per week work well for students who eat meals regularly and consistently; meal plans with fewer meals work well for students whose meal schedules vary from day to day and week to week. Meal plans with fewer meals also come with more flex points, which enable students to eat meals at a greater variety of dining facilities.The Meal Plan Calculator can help you choose a meal plan based on how many meals you consume per week. Can I change meal plans if I made the wrong choice? Yes. Students can request a meal plan change at any time, and changes are applied on select dates throughout the semester. Please see the Meal Plan Changes page for more information.Why are meal plans more expensive than purchasing meals separately? All students are required to help pay for the cost of the dining program, as part of the educational experience of a residential college. The charge includes fixed costs (labor, utilities, maintenance) of running dining halls, as well as variable costs (food, supplies) of what students consume.Obie Dollars and Flex Points What are Obie Dollars? The optional Obie Dollars program is a debit account on your ID card that can be used instead of cash at CDS dining facilities, copy machines and printers across campus, and at designated downtown merchants. Money may be added to the Obie Dollars account at the ID Card Office in Stevenson-Biggs, at a card dispenser in Mudd Library outside Azariah's or in the Conservatory Library, or by logging into eCard via Blackboard.Do Obie Dollars roll over between semesters? Yes, Obie Dollars roll over from year to year and you can use them at any point during your academic career at Oberlin College. If you have any remaining balance when you leave Oberlin College, you will be refunded all monies above any college term bill liabilities.What are CDS Flex Points? The Flex Points program is a debit account built into meal plans (1 flex point = 1 dollar). Flex Points may be used to purchase food at our à la carte dining facilities or additional meals at other CDS dining facilities. Please refer to the Meal Plans to determine how many Flex Points come with each meal plan.Do Flex Points roll over between semesters? CDS Flex Points roll over from Fall semester to Spring semester, but not between academic years. Any Flex Points left in your account at the end of Spring Semester will be lost.How are Flex Points allotted over the course of the school year? Flex Points are deposited to your account at the beginning of each month. Flex points continue to accumulate until the end of the Spring Semester. View Flex Points Schedule »Updated: 2/14/2012 |

How to solve error 6190-82
How to solve Error -6190, -82: QuickBooks was unable to open the file {path\filename] on the host
QuickBooks incorporates a handful of advanced and easy-to-use features to help you effectively manage your basic business transactions and keep track of all your informative financial information. It keeps all your company data in a single QBW file. It also maintains a transaction log file (or TLG file) to log all changes made to the company file. These changes are first recorded to the QuickBooks transaction log file and then reflected in the company file.
Sometimes the transaction log mismatches with the company file, if you take the company file to a different computer, update it without the transaction log, and then copy it back to the server. The above situation generally leads to the Error -6190, -82 while running QuickBooks in multi-user mode on Windows Server.
"Error code -6190, -82 QuickBooks was unable to open the file [path\filename] on the host computer [host name]."
In this case, find the mismatched transaction log file (.tlg) and delete it. The transaction log file will be automatically created the next time you open the company file. Now, you can check the File Information for this company by pressing F2 (QuickBooks should be running). The product information appears, wherein the location field will tell you the path to this file.
There are other remedies to this problem, such as updating to the latest QuickBooks release. However, problems may persist if there is some corruption in your company file or the transaction log file. In such circumstances, you need to perform complete QuickBooks recovery using professional third-party software.
Stellar Phoenix Recovery for QuickBooks is one highly recommended tool, adept at repairing corrupt QBW files and effectively restoring all your lost or inaccessible QucikBooks company file data. The software can easily recover all Company Information, Chart of Accounts, Items & Services, Customers & Job Information, business transactions, etc.
To repair QuickBooks files using Stellar Phoenix Recovery for QuickBooks, you need to ensure the following prior to recovery:
- Create a blank QuickBooks company for saving all the recovered data.
- You need to close the QuickBooks application and the company file that you just created.
- The version of QuickBooks installed in your system and the damaged QuickBooks file should be same.
Stellar Phoenix Recovery for QuickBooks performs QuickBooks repair in three phases:
- Select: The first phase of the repair process allows you to select the desired QBW file for recovery. You can either select the company file from a known location or search for a specific QBW file in your system. The search process is quick and efficient and will save you the extra time required to locate the corrupt file, if the whereabouts of the file is unknown.
- Scan: The second phase deals with scanning the corrupt QuickBooks file for retrieving all recoverable data. The software has dedicated algorithms to perform an extensive scan of the corrupt company file and yield you inexplicable results in the least possible time. You can preview your company data prior to performing recovery.
- Save: In this phase, the software saves all the recoverable data in the newly created company file. You need to select the version of the new company file and provide a destination to save this file. When the process is completed, the following message appears on your screen:
"Repair process successfully completed"

Gerry Adams |
The IRA members took an oath. A Vow of Silence, Forever. Period. None should talk, ever.
@IrelandNorth: "If Ireland could accomodate 1m lowland-Scot planters, it can accomodate 60m Irish-Americans."...erm, good maths there! By the way, where are you getting the 60 million figure from? There are 40 million Irish-Americans and 20 million of those are actually really of Scottish origin (Scots-Irish)
The population of Ireland before the Famine was c. 8m. If Ireland could accomodate 1m lowland-Scot planters, it can accomodate 60m Irish-Americans. It's strictly a case of time-sharing. c60m x 365 = ? Irish-Americans! Ireland is your birth right. Reclaim your heritage and ignore the WASP-ish propaganda.
the brits will never condemn Adams, funny how they were just there when John Gregg launched his murderous assault, but Gezza has always had shadowy figures looking after his wellbeing, there were at least 2 moles in the Derry brigade, 3 in Belfast, 1 in the border area, 1 was even killed at Loughall.
Farnan: You've written a lot of dumb articles, but this is the stupidest yet.
citizen69 ... we agree again. The Irish (my grandparents included) contributed immensely to the growth of America, and we are eternally grateful to them. And to the Italians, the Poles and the Germans, etc., that immigrated here as well.
BrendanDunphy... It's all a matter of scale really. A nation of a few hundred million can absorb a couple million much more easily than the other way around. But surely it was beneficial to both sides? The people of Ireland helped make America what it is today, from the Scots-Irish in colonial days to the Gaelic Irish in famine era. Besides Britain opened it's doors to many deprived Irish during the famine also, particularly Glasgow, Liverpool & Manchester. Maybe Israel could take in a few of you guys. They owe you a favour or two! ;-)
Citizen69 ... we agree on something. I have no doubt that Ireland would not open their arms to Irish-Americans. Unlike how America opened up her arms to so many deprived Irish during the famine, after the famine and even today with the demise of the celtic tiger. The word "ungrateful" comes to mind. The Land of a thousand welcomes?! My arse.
Shame that history will show that his enduring Mark will me a Fresh Entry Wound!
Brendan. Recent photos of Gerry and Martin cosying up to the Isreali ambassador in Stornmont whilst negoiating a trade delegation will hardly instill faith to the people of Palistine. It didn`t go down too well either with the people from various groups protesting on the Ambassadors visit, at the front gates as inside they indulged in a tea party
Pilib04. Your mention of Bodenstown in 83 is symbolic to a lot of Derry republican activists at the time. Not for Gerrys great speech, but for the fact that the Derry Brigade of the Provisionals done the colour party. One of the last times many of these soldiers were together in the comfort of freedom as among them was the now infamous Raymond Gilmore (supergrass) who as with at least 4 other supergrass`s implicated bothe Martin Mc Guiness and Gerry Adams in Army activity. Hundreds ended up getting thousands of years in prison as a result. Yet neither Gerry or Martin were ever even arrested. That was way before the brits knew of his peado brother yet they seen fit not to act against him.
RedBranch.No need to ask IC.lol That happens from time to time.I don't think either side was ready for a meaningful peace process at that stage.I know it might sound bad but the fact is NI didn't suffer enough by 1974.There was still an air that the IRA could be beaten by force and the British could be removed by force.The GFA was a much more professional affair by both sides.The IRA wanted real change not peace.The Unionist's wanted peace but no real change.After 25 years of getting nowhere.People were ready on both sides.Gerry was part of a 300 year old conflict,but in my opinion he played a big part in ending it along with Unionists too.
BrendanDunphy... If such a thing ever happened (in an alternative universe) What makes you think Ireland would take in 40million Irish-Americans? We're a bit squeezed for room over here! America has an empire in all but name. over 40 countries worldwide have a U.S. military presence. America exerts control over large parts of the world through militarism and economics. They have interfered in many governments, they have bankrolled uprisings and installed puppet regimes to do their bidding, mostly to the benefit of huge American corporations. So Americans aren't really in any position to talk about Israel or Britain. Besides, the people of the part of Ireland you are talking about are quite happy to stay within the UK, and that includes most Catholics as well. There is no oppression there, it's a free & democratic society, there is more employment than in the Republic, lower cost of living and less tax... and the people have the free will to opt into a United Ireland if they so choose.
Israel's biggest supporter condoning the building of houses in disputed land, biggest contributor of weapons, subsidies, cash - the US say no more.
citizen69 ... I'm okay with that too actually. But by that perspective, I am Irish then, so prepare yerselves (Eire) for an influx of Irish-Americans! But, aside from the 1700s and the 50 states, name one single country that America has "invaded" and then declared it as their own. We're not the imperialists that you think we are. Japan, Germany, France, Vietnam, Iraq, etc., etc., those lands all still belong to their people. Unlike Israel, who continues to build their settlements on another's land. And for the record, I've been against most (not all) of our wars, so no need to take us down that path on which we probably already agree. England out, Israel out. Peace.
BrendanDunphy... You left off one important act of giving in your little to-do list... How about giving America back to the Americans?? You know, the original natives that your fellow white 'Americans' decimated almost to the point of extinction? Driven off their lands, discriminated against, slaughtered. And your military don't seem to be doing much better abroad either. Where do you stand on that one my friend?
@Sirpeter, the first post for today Mar.12 (re: summer of '73)is not my post; my name may be on it but its not mine, ask IC! However I don't remember Mr. Adams walking the streets in 74 saying 'Lads, lads, come on now lets work this one out; sure a bit of d'Hondt system and we'll be flying...'
citizen69 ... I am an American and am well aware that Sinn Fein is a supporter of Palestine. As a matter of fact, I am a supporter as well. If the USA ends their blind one-way support if Israel, these factions you reference become a bit less anti-American. Give Ireland back to the Irish. Give Palestine back to the Palestinians.
@seamus60.I said war is a dirty business.The hint that I'm not gullible is in that statement.The root cause of all NI conflict was British Imperialism.The root cause of "the troubles" was Unionist political domination coupled with active Catholic discrimination.That was the bedrock of injustice that led to violence on both sides.The tit for tat retaliations by both sides is just a symptom of the root causes.I think NI is moving on slowly from it's past.Partition has failed economically for NI and it's people still a failure because it is unjust to partition a country for the benefit of a minority.Also as a person living in the South of Ireland.NI was an embarrassment just like that shower in Dublin who messed up the Irish economy recently.We know who is to blame and what portion each side should be man enough to take responsibility for the problems past and present on this island.The rest is just smoke and mirrors.
I have fond memories of meeting Gerry Adams on a number of occasions. I find him to be quite the charmer. Truly a successor to St. Patrick and certainly our best hope of driving out the snakes (and Bankers) from Ireland. Significant to this article, I met him when he met Rev. Fred Shuttlesworth of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in (circa) 2002. I also had the opportunity to meet Gerry and hear him speak at the Wolfe Tone-Bodenstown commemoration in '83 (unseasonably warm sunny day in June). On a number of other occasions I had the grand opportunity to meet and speak with our Sinn Fein leader. Gerry Adams enables us to have the confidence in the Good Friday Agreement and it's implementation in Northern Ireland. Adams brought us along when no one could have foretold that Sinn Fein would sit on policing boards and manage the affairs of Northern Ireland. Martin McGuinness (God love him) also played an equal role in Sinn Fein's peace initiative, but the article I am responding to was about Gerry. I am just happy to have met Gerry and blessed by his wit, charm, humour and most of all his Gaelic speech.
RedBranch.Is this the same Belfast Agreement'number one that caused Unionist opposition,violence and a loyalist general strike bringing NI to a standstill causing the collapse of the Agreement in May 1974?I can see how attractive the life's of Adams & McGuinness have been over the last 40 years.Been shot and on the run and risking your life everyday is no sacrifice at all.Everyone sacrificed something in NI during those times.I think it's about time you were honest with yourself because you're not fooling anyone.
Adams is still leading the fight, but now with pens and politics instead of guns and grenades. Stay the course Gerry, we're almost there.
Deputy Gearoid MacAdhmh/Gerry Adams is one of a minority of authentic political voices in opposition to the a majority of mild colonial boys in Leinster House. In a partitionist parliament populated largely by Me-Feiners (i.e. radical individulalists), his participation is a boon.
sirpeter. My little secrets come with pride and honor. Had one of them been treason, much more worrying. But with so many gulible people like yourself towing the party line and the press reluctant to persue discrepancies it will take a little longer for total exposure. Time is something a lot of republicans have spent as cannonfauder. But won`t forget. Belt tightening is natural to most republicans, always has been.
They didn't die needlessly; they died to put Adams & McGuinness centre stage, taking the peace plaudits! Thanks for the sacrifice guys....
SirPeter "Without Adams there would be no peace process. Peace in NI has saved a lot of life's" Adams and Co had ample opportunity for 'peace' way back in the summer of 73, when Willie Whitelaw offered them the 'Belfast Agreement' number one but they knocked it back and thousands more died needlessly, including some very courageous men who put republican principles before political expediency.
seamus60.Told ya you had dirty little secrets.But such is war Seamus.It's a dirty business isn't it?There will be a UI because basically NI it's not economical viable.There will be a lot of belt tightening in the EU over the coming years.Having over 60% of the NI workforce in the public sector is just not on.Youse boys are going to have to do a bit of work sometime.
Joe. its probally very confusing to most, how someone could be dishing out Army orders without ever being in an Army. How could so many people end up dead or in prison as a result of following orders that apperantely no one gave But you had to be there.
I thought he always denied being in the IRA
Redbranch. All this unbelieveable garbage of people talking about a UI.When in reality all i have seen recently is promotion of Ireland rejoining the commonwealth. Nothing to worry about had it only been loyalists from the occupied 6. As for the pension thing i seriously doubt ANY decent soul with a drop of Irish republican blood in their veins would let the cash touch their palms. But why would the decision makers ever decide this offer when they have so many other less costly acts at hand, to cortail those who have given the most. The brits have bought the peace so we have yet again Ruling by Fooling.
Right on Seamus and I'm guessing you're not entitled to the Northern Bank pension plan payments. Oh and Ed another question for Mr. Adams, one always on the minds of those on the right: How much out of each dollar hard earned by a citizen of the state should go to the govt.? As a percantage Mr. Adams please.
sirpeter. My dirty little secrets as you call them are a result of following orders from Gerry and Co. MONSOONMAN- Where are all these people calling for a UI ? Gerry Adams only rolls it out these days when under pressure, just thge same as he bothers to mention issues such as Marian price and others INTERNED in Ireland. Though he won`t use that specific term for fear the reality that the brits still say what goes. The brits have the veto,articles 2&3 are gone, on the runs being interned and ex-combatants getting sucker punched at will through criminal licence revokation. The later 2 evermore relevant to individuals who are prepared to show the PRM`s stupidity as deal sealers, let alone call it plain down right TREASON.
Citizen69 The enemy of my enemy is my friend. This is a Chinese military treatise that was written by Sun Tzu in the 6th century BC. Desperate times called for desperate measures...As you can see there are now growing calls for a vote by the people for a united Ireland, this accomplished w/o 1 bullet fired or 1 bomb detonated.
Ed, do you think Adams has any respect for America at all beyond the fund raising ability of gullible Irish-Americans?? Yo do know that Sinn Fein, of which he is the leader, sit with the extreme far left block of the European parliament among Europe's Communist parties? OR that the left-wing extremists the Provisional IRA had strong links with, the PLO, Hammas, FARC and other left-wing anti-American terrorist groups? Of course they will never mention any of this while in America using fools like you.
To many in Ireland Gerry Adams is the face of a Marxist terrorist group responsible for many atrocities on innocent people. Whose idea of community "justice" is for hooded henchmen to drag someone up a dark alley and put bullets through their knees (if they're lucky)on the mere allegation of a crime. The man's a pathological liar and knows nothing about justice or honour.
No one is as pure as the driven snow.Without Adams there would be no peace process.Peace in NI has saved a lot of life's.Murder,Rape,Robbery,Incest,Pedophilia,War ect ect is all part of the human condition.Yes!! You reading my comment is all that you could do giving the right circumstances.Don't lie to yourself.If you don't think you wouldn't do these things.You just don't know yourself.@seamus60 grow up.So what little disgusting things are you hiding?As God is my witness I know you are.What stopped you acting on all those bad thoughts?Just your circumstances.That is all.
Edin you give great credit to a man for his peacemaking abilities, what credit is there in accepting less than what was on offer 30 years and thousands of lives earlier ? John Hume brought peace, Adams just stopped making war when he had most to gain. Not so for the foot soldiers though. Monsoonman, pooping on a much greater story ? What great story, Gerrys ? the one riddled with lie after lie. Doesn`t say much either for your moral compass, since when has anyone with such bad judgement as to allow so many Irish children in harms way the wisdom to make other serious decisions as to the health of our nation that any worthy statesman should be capable of. He left West Belfast with its people having nothing to show for all his great representation. Rebelforce, i sincerely hope you weren`t having a cheap shot about the wife beating as thats exactly what Gerry`brother always done to his wife in order she would leave the family home allowing him to have his dirty disgusting way with his young daughter.
This is the 1st in upcoming excerpts, there will be direct quotes coming up. GA evokes strong feelings pro/con, but you can't deny he has been a pivotal figure. He steered conflict from battlefield to peace table and stopped much bloodshed.
What a great interview. Uncluttered by any actual quotes.
Oh dear Ed and there I was thinking you were a smart, insightful person with well argued pieces from right of centre. Now I see you are all but starry-eyed in the presence of Mr. Adams 'Soldier to Statesman' indeed. You took the bait hook, line and sinker. I don't think there is any way back for you. Three questions for Mr. Adams next time you meet him. 1. As an able bodied and intelligent young man why didn't he join the IRA when his 'country' needed him? 2. Why is SF policy so different in the North than in the South on say, hospital closures? 3. He's been president of SF since about the Carter administration, what does he feel is the proper timeframe to be leading a party in a democracy?
What a bunch of sea gulls, pooping on a story that is far greater than this mans errant/evil Brother. Many great people throughout history had dark parts to them, yet they are overshadowed by a greater story. He who is among you without sin, cast the first stone....waiting. In the meantime regale us with yr tales of accomplishment while you stood in the arena of life, when you weren't sitting in the bleacher section.
The youth workers in Clonard have clearly stated that at no time had Gerry ever informed them of any concerns with his brother working with children, otherwise they would have intervened, he hasn`t called them liars..... Gerrys brother then moved to Donegal for a stint before moving to Dundalk where yet again he worked with children and stood for nomination within SF aided with an endorsement from Gerry himself. Since denied by Gerry but again totally discredited for the lie that it was by photograph and other means. He (Gerrys peado brother) actually wrote a very good article that appeared in a SF publication claiming that he had uncovered a peadophile ring operating from Donegal down to Dundalk and further. Are we to believe Gerry never read his brothers article.
Rebelforce you should read up on certain subjects before you comment on them as it will diminish the chances of you sounding like a fool who believes everything the bearded one says. Gerry has already admitted he sheltered a peadophile. He has denied aiding him within the party, only to be totally discredited through timelines and documentation. He has claimed to have informed the relevant authorities as to his brothers filthy habits in relation to his job working with children in Gerrys own constituency of W/Belfast (long after Gerry began the sheltering exercise that others were being shot for) His dirty old dad also a peadophile contaminates a republican plot in Milltown cemetary because gerry kept that a secret as well, at least until he had to look a victim himself in order to gain the sympathy vote.
Farnan, you're a 'wimp' a plastic paddy I'll wager!
For years the trolls were trying to discredit Gerry Adams by calling him a "terrorist". Now that he is recognized and admired as an architect of the Good Friday Agreement and leader of the largest and fastest growing All-Ireland party they are accusing him of "sheltering" pedophiles. LOL Next up, they'll be accusing Adams of being a wife-beater.
Six times I have attempted to post a constructive critique of this nonsense by Narnan, and each time it has been banned. Proof positive fearful cowards on this site edit out all criticism they are afraid to answer. If free unbiased, sober debate is the call of this forum, why is polite conjecture banned?
"comment has been sent" Yes. Five time but never posted. What's Farnan afraid of?
Hi seamus. I responded to this clown (twice) in much the same vane as you but pointed out that the hairy-one was, in his own words, NEVER a 'soldier' or a member of the IRA or the PIRA. The pedophile brother not withstanding but on both occasions my post was ignored. I expect this one will be too! LOL….
Doubt you asked him about the issue of him sheltering a brother peadophile for decades whilst others, to the very point of allowing him to work with children.Which comes second to him allowing his brother to stand for election in the party.

text: I have been exploring a number of directions over the last 6 years, since the release of Black & Whispers. My favorite subject continues to be the California landscape, and I have spent a week each year since 2001 photographing the Montana countryside, too, including Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, and everything in between. These locations made up the content of my first 3 portfolios, and now I'm expanding my coverage of the western U.S. to include Nevada and Hawaii. Hopefully Oregon soon! In May 2010, I completed a portfolio and book titled, "A Year in the Vineyard." While my intention was a 50-50 split between black-and-white and color photographs, the body of work was dominated by color. Since then, I've been doing more color in general, and pushing far deeper into the abstract. As a finishing touch, I like printing on canvas for a more painterly look. Instinctually, I evaluate a scene in black-and-white first, but if it's not working, I shift to thinking about color. My primary color influences are Galen Rowell (landscape), David Gubernick (landscape, macro and lens painting), Rob Ellis (abstract and composition), Bert Ihlenfeld (abstract), Jim Kasson (lens painting), and Al Weber (landscape and aerial). I think if you stack each of their styles over a lens, like filters, you get the Zmak color filter. These diverse directions will eventually emerge as finished portfolios and exhibits over the next few years, the first of which will likely be a book of my black and white photography in 2012. |

Budget hotels have 'seven-star' potential
In the pre-recession days of 'bling' developments like Dubai's Burj Al Arab, Mideast hotel owners weren't interested in developing mid-market properties. But they are now.
May 7, 2010 9:33 by Emily Meredith
The groundbreaking of a new hotel in the UAE last month could have been mistaken for yet another overly optimistic play for the region's high-end luxury market.
Instead, the groundbreaking was for Premier Inn, a chain that describes itself as "value for money," and which uses a logo featuring a crescent moon doing what most people actually do in hotels – sleeping.
The managing director for the company in the Middle East, Darroch Crawford, says the chain will continue to expand in the region despite the economic slowdown. "For Premier Inn it is vital for us to take advantage of the increasing number of travelers seeking out the best value." Premier Inn recently signed a deal with Emirates, an airline which has always emphasized luxury. But an executive vice president at Emirates acknowledges there is an unmet need in the region. "I think Dubai needs more mid-market hotels," says Ali Mubarak Al Soori. "That market is growing. It wasn't there before."
A report from CB Richard Ellis indicates that building a mid-market hotel may have been a good move. "The continuing development of five-star deluxe hotels within the Emirate will place pressure on occupancy levels and thus the ability for hotels to charge high rates with many offering significant discounts," it says.
Prices in the four- and five-star markets fell in 2009, and the CEO of Rezidor, which operates the Radisson Blu and Park Inn hotels in the Middle East, Kurt Ritter, says he expects them to stay at their current levels for another year. "I think prices will not increase with the availability of rooms," he says. He advocates less growth and more control in the market.

You are invited to participate with Foley Middle School's Artist Trading Cards Swap…
What are Artist Trading Cards? Well, they are miniature works of art about the same size as a baseball card.
How do you make one? You can use any kind of material (media) for your card. For example, paint, crayons, coloring pencil, ink, marker, construction paper and so on.
What do I create on the card? Any image that is appropriate for school and original. If I wanted to draw a yellow elephant, I could! If I wanted to draw flowers, cars, dogs, or my family, I could! I could create a Zentangle pattern drawing, a collage, a poem with drawings, and so much more!
When are they due? Trading cards can be dropped off to the art room anytime from now until Monday December 10th.

Classical Zen training and study for modern times.
Zen Buddhism is the study of the self and how it awakens to its full potential. A non-profit organization, Detroit Zen Center began in 1990 with the mission "to provide a place for the study and practice of Zen Buddhism through meditation, manual work, and the arts". We are a community of monks, resident and non-resident students, and are open to the public in various ways. The flavor of Detroit deeply inspires our commitment to practice. Sustainability is a core teaching within all of Buddhism, and we work to provide a place that stands as an example of the power of healthy community, right livelihood, and individuals choosing to work together to develop greater humanity. Detroit Zen Center is a branch of Sudeok-sa--a 1,300 year-old temple deep in the beautiful mountains of Korea. Our founder and teacher Hwalson Sunim was ordained a monk 40 years ago. After 18 years of extensive study, his teacher Wondam Sunim asked him to return to America and teach. All are welcome to the Detroit Zen Center, whether for simple curiosity or deeper interest. Visit the Calendar to see the public events, which include zen meditation instruction for newcomers, and Dharma Talks.
While most students live off-site, we have residential options in the form of full-time study and work-exchange. Please contact us for an application.
