Since the cold weather has arrived, it feels more like January. The thermometer got up to just a little above zero last week and colder weather is predicted for this week.
My brother, Steve McLain, spent last Saturday at the Transfer Station as the Transfer Station Attendant, since Scott was called out of town.
Scott Bogart received word this past week that his mother had passed away. He and Cheryl made the trip to be with the family. Condolences to their family.
My brother has found another loyal reader of this column. He was speaking with Burnie Rice the other day and Burnie said that he likes to read it to keep up with the latest in Gilead.
Brad McLain and Carole Mason stopped by our house for a visit last Sunday on their way to Gorham, N.H.
Later in the afternoon, our son, Tim, and our granddaughter, Sidney, arrived for a visit. Sid was telling us about playing hockey the day before. She really enjoys the sport and is planning on playing in the older league next year.
Happy Birthday wishes go out to our grandson, Ben Chapman, whose turns 21 years old on Jan. 29. Also, two of our nephews have birthdays in January. Stephen McLain, III will celebrate on Jan 27 and his brother, Joe McLain's birthday is on Jan. 30. Stephen and Joe are the sons of Steve and Lise McLain. Happy Birthday to Carole Mason whose birthday is on the same day as Joe's.
Bill and Gale Tout were spotted on Main Street in Bethel last week. They were in town for a few days to check on the house that they are having built on the North Road.
Luella Cole stopped by with some news that her husband, Dan, may be able to come home in a couple of weeks. She wanted to express thanks from the Cole family to the Gilead Fire Department for being thoughtful enough to put on the benefit breakfast recently and to all those who came to support the effort. They also would like everyone to know that all the cards and well wishes have been appreciated.
Town Office
Rapid Renewal has finally arrived for Gilead residents! Thanks to the hard work and persistence of Gilead's Tax Collector, Leann Caruso, this service is now available for Gilead residents to be able to re-register their motor vehicles on line if they choose to do so. Those that do not want to, can still re-register their vehicles at the town office as usual. Many thanks to Leann for all the time she put into this project.
The Town of Gilead is the latest town in Maine to offer this online service. The Town even made the news! There was an article in the Lewiston Sun Journal on Jan. 17 and also on the Channel 6 website: http://www.wcsh6.com/news/article/227882/314/Rapid-Renewal-service-sprea....
To access Rapid Renewal visit the State of Maine website page for online services at http://www.maine.gov/sos/online_services/index.html and choose Rapid Renewal, renew vehicle (trailer) and then choose Gilead from the list of towns and follow the instructions. Be sure to gather all necessary information beforehand. This would be the same documentation needed when registering at the Town Office, such as insurance and odometer information.

They learn to appreciate the literature devices and styles evident in individual works and the commentary made by these works on moral, social, and aesthetic issues. The course includes discussion of adaptation issues.Interpretation of Fairy TalesENGL202 — 3 creditsFairy tale characters are archetypal images that are present at the deepest level of our psyches. They have endured because they portray a vivid psychological reality through which readers can gain an understanding of themselves. This course analyzes selected fairy tales from many points of view.African American NarrativesENGL202 — 3 creditsThere is no one monolithic "African American community," therefore this course studies a broad sampling of various narratives dealing with African American experiences. Some of the themes explored deal with questions of identity and community, assimilation and nationalism, interracial relations, classroom and artistic freedom.Digital StorytellingENGL202 — 3 creditsTechnology and the age-old craft of storytelling intersect. This hands-on course explores the art and craft of storytelling in new formats like the web, videos, and other nonlinear media. Students will conceive, design, and develop a fully functional multimedia story and learn about writing, plot character development, interactivity, and much more along the way.Literature and MadnessENGL202 — 3 creditsStudents will read poems, fiction, and nonfiction to study how mental illness is depicted in literature.

Students will critically analyze the various themes and values expressed through J. K. Rowling's books in an effort to understand how and why Harry Potter has made reading fun again.Text and ImageENGL202 — 3 creditsThe class will examine a range of image-text relationships from alphabet formation to the textbased work of contemporary visual artists such as Xu Bin, Hanne Darboven, and Barbara Kruger. Studies will extend from William Blake's "visible language" through "concrete" poems by the likes of e.e. cummings and Guillame Apollinaire to ekphrasis and the use of "image narrative" in contemporary poetry. The class will address image-text relationships in photographic books such as Jim Goldberg's Rich and Poor and in Trenton Doyle's graphic novel Me a Mound, as well as the ways in which image-text converge on the big screen and electronic media.Reel Docs: Truth through FilmENGL202 — 3 creditsThis course will present nonfiction cinema about real individuals and critical issues that shape our lives and the world in which we live. Focusing on documentaries as agents of social change, we will encourage dialogue and exchange, examining the stories, the processes and the creative possibilities available through the art of nonfiction filmmaking.Creative NonfictionENGL202 — 3 creditsWriters of creative nonfiction may use the standard elements of fiction or poetry to write about current events, personal experiences, or social issues. In this course, students will be exposed to the different techniques, styles, structures, and strategies of writing creative nonfiction, through the use of readings, exercises, and practice. They will enhance their writing skills using the tools presented, as well as observation and reflection.Time Travel NarrativesENGL202 — 3 creditsThis online course taught in summer offers an adventurous journey into the multiple timeline theories found in literature, film, anime, and television. Students will explore a variety of temporal narratives and discuss the significance and implications of time travel theories in an ever advancing society where science fiction regularly becomes science fact. Also examined will be related issues concerning social responsibility, ethics, and human sustainability that arise in the Time Travel discourse.Original Young Adult NovelsENGL202 — 3 creditsBefore Harry Potter, before Twilight, even before the term "young adult" was used for books, there were novels that explored the landscape of adolescence. Some of the literature explored in this class will be Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, J. D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye, S. E. Hinton's The Outsiders, Carson McCuller's A Member of the Wedding, Maya Angelou's I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, among others and discuss the role of the adolescent in literature. In this course, characters, point-of-view, setting, and structure will be studied in order to better comprehend the role of the young adult in literature.Brave New World: Shakespeare in Film and LiteratureENGL202 — 3 creditsBrave New World is an overview of the literary mastery of William Shakespeare. His storytelling genius will be considered through its ongoing relationship to another key and influential storytelling medium—film. In this class, three or four of Shakespeare's plays will be closely studied and viewed their film adaptations. The course will introduce the elements of literature and explore how they can provide a structure for better understanding and analyzing literary and visual texts. Classroom discussion and writing assignments will focus on textual comprehension and discernment of style.Developing You: Foundations in LeadershipENGL202 — 3 creditsDeveloping You: Foundations in Leadership will focus on leadership and identity development. The course will span the spectrum of leadership theory and emerging trends of chaos theory and sustainable leadership.

Analysis: Three states stand out in 2012 p
WASHINGTON (MCT) — The presidential candidates have just placed their opening bets, and three states stand out as keys to the 2012 election: Ohio, Virginia and, perhaps surprisingly, Iowa.
Romney's first TV ad of the general election campaign debuting Friday, will air in four states, including Ohio, Virginia and Iowa. (Notably, it repeats his pledge to "end Obamacare," the law based on his Massachusetts model). The Romney campaign wouldn't confirm the scope of the buy but didn't wave off an attempt to confirm James Hohmann's report in Politico, which listed that trio of states, plus North Carolina. President Barack Obama included Ohio, Virginia and Iowa in his most recent buy, as well.
It is practically impossible for Romney to capture the presidency without carrying Ohio and Virginia. Obama took both in 2008, and if he wins either again, he'll almost surely be re-elected.

Salt Lake County Republican Party Chairman Chad Bennion is facing some political heat.
Last week he told Reporter Brian Carlson he thinks the Salt Lake County District Attorney has an agenda against cops.
"Speaking to various different groups about his childhood and police brutality and injustice, I believe that that's coloring his decision as a D.A. in Salt Lake County," said Chad Bennion, Salt Lake County Republican Party Chairman.
Bennion is referencing Gill's ruling that West Valley police were not justified to shoot and kill Danielle Willard last November.
"He's coming down harder on law enforcement than he is on the criminals," said Bennion.
Now because of those comments party leaders are speaking out.
"I think even Chad has admitted that using term cop-hater was unfortunate, and that different language could've been used," said James Evans, Utah Republican Party Chairman.
A group calling themselves "Concerned Republicans" want Bennion out.
In an email sent out to politicians and media alike, they believe quote:
"Chairman Bennion's embarrassing, overly divisive, false, racist, and self-serving comments have significantly weakened the chances of getting a Republican elected to the office of Salt Lake County District Attorney and also likely has weakened the chances of getting Republicans elected to other offices in Salt Lake County;"
And they want it resolved:
"That the Salt Lake County Republican Party approves the removal of Chad Bennion from the office of Chairman of the Salt Lake County Republican Party."
Longtime party member Lyle Decker believes that's going to be hard sell. He showed Reporter Brian Carlson the party bylaws, and said Republicans against Bennion would have to show cause that he harmed the party.
"I'm not certain that his private comments whether they were private or publicly made as a chair rise to the level of harming the party," said Lyle Decker, Salt Lake County Republican Central Committee member.
Decker has been with the party for 35 years. He tells Carlson the other element that makes it unlikely for Bennion to get voted out, is that county Republicans would need a two thirds majority of their Central Committee, that's roughly 800 people. Their next meeting is scheduled for September 19th.

Robert Steele wants Rep. John Dingell's job
By Zoe Clark
Republican Dr. Robert Steele is challenging Democratic incumbent John Dingell in this year's election. Congressman Dingell represents Michigan's 15th district and is the longest serving member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
In an interview this morning, Steele told Michigan Radio that it's a good time for Dingell to retire. "When you look at the polices that he's promoted over the years, with the excessive spending... and the collapse of Detroit... he's been there and had his chance to help things go forward and we're not making any more progress," Steele said.

Enter keywords to find answers.
Can't find the answers you need?Ask your question and it may be postedand addressed by the panel!
Get to know the everyday people who share their personal vacation planning advice and their Disney Parks experiences.
About Me: I'm a former research librarian turned stay-at-home. In addition to taking care of my girls, I spend much of my time in community volunteer activities at my church and our school's PTA. I also love the theater and arts - we try to see at least one Broadway show a month. I'm currently trying to push outside my comfort zone by becoming a runner. I'm now training for my second Walt Disney World half marathon. (Yikes - wish me luck!)I'm thrilled to have been a part of the Walt Disney World Moms panel since the very beginning. One of my biggest loves is writing and I can't think of anything better than helping guests by writing about Disney travel. I grew up in Maryland and Maine and have spent the past 25 years in the New York metro area, but I truly feel that Walt Disney World is home.
About My Family: My husband and I have been married for 19 years. We met working on our college newspaper. He was the publisher and I was the arts and entertainment editor. He still works on the business end of publishing and I'm still writing, so we've definitely found a formula that works. We have three daughters: a 16-year-old and 13-year-old twins. My girls are heavily involved in music; they each take piano, voice, and music theory lessons and are all part of several choruses. It's a rare weekend when we don't have at least one recital to attend. My oldest daughter is also a competitive debater. She can't out-argue mom yet, but it's close :-). My parents were generous enough to take my 16-year-old on an Adventures by Disney trip to Ireland in 2010 (such a great intergenerational bonding experience) and will be taking my twins on a special Disney Cruise in 2013. They're certainly lucky ducks!
About My Disney Experience: My family is obsessed with Disney travel. We've been Disney Vacation Club members for more than a decade. I've lost count of the number of times I've traveled to Walt Disney World. I've stayed at nearly every WDW resort; our favorite is Disney's Beach Club Villas. I've been to Walt Disney World in many size groups – just my husband and me, us with the girls, with my parents, with a nanny, with cousins, with another family, me with girlfriends and, most decadently and deliciously, all by myself. In addition to Walt Disney World, I've also visited Disneyland, Disneyland Paris (great food!), and the Disney Vacation Club resorts at Vero Beach and Hilton Head. Beyond the parks, I've taken Caribbean and Mediterranean voyages on the Disney Cruise Line and have taken five trips with Adventures by Disney: Costa Rica, Barcelona Escape, Mediterranean Magic, Quest for the West, and Germany. There is absolutely no better way to see the world! I can't wait for our AbD trip to China in 2013.
Followup to prev question. Since my mom won't be able to take ECV on boat from Ft Wild to MK, my parents will likely drive their car. Do the parking areas have handicapped spots? Can the ECV go on a tram?
Between the Grand Floridian, Contemporary Resort, and Polynesian, which resort has the best view of the fireworks at Magic Kingdom?
Hi! Do you know when the not so scary Halloween party runs through in 2013?
We are coming to Disney this March for 8 days. We are staying off campus. Was wondering if you can enter a park, leave and come back later to the same park? Also, we will probably go to the parks for 4-5 days of our trip. Any suggestions for tickets?
Happy 2013 to you all! Two quick questions: Someone told me of a building in HS where you can meet 8-10 characters at one time -any idea where exactly this is? Has anyone viewed WISHES from Fantasyland - behind the castle instead of the front? THANKS!

Suburban Virginia schools have been segregated for generations, in sight of the Washington Monument over the river in the nation's capital. One black and one white high school are closed and the students sent to T.C. Williams High School under federal mandate to integrate. The year is seen through the eyes of the football team where the man hired to coach the Black school is made head coach over the highly successful white coach. Based on the actual events of 1971, the team becomes the unifying symbol for the community as the boys and the adults learn to depend on and trust each other.

A nine minute student documentary of the Free Culture New York Summit held at Columbia University, January 2006. The film explores a new form of student activism, based primarily on and about the Internet. Beginning with the Free Culture demonstration at the Times Square Virgin Megastore, the documentary covers Free Culture members out to educate consumers on alternative forms of music distribution online (archive.org, ccmixter.org, blogs, etc). It continues the discussion with interviews featuring conference participants (Cory Doctorow, Creative Commons, Free Culture students activists). Finally, using cc licenses for distribution and production, the film acts as an example for other young student filmmakers who are interested in alternative copyright licensing.

I started riding in 2010, and bought a 2003 Bandit 1200s as my everyday ride in 2011. I've put 15k on the Bandit, and I'm thinking about what my next bike will be. The obvious choice is a Ninja 1000, but I went to the Slimey Crud run a few weeks ago and got to ride a Ducati MH900e, and it made me fall in love with a lighter bike. But I've got mixed feelings about moving to a smaller displacement bike because I love the ease of maintenance, torque, and low end grunt of the Bandit, plus the riding position is so comfortable. I'm 5'11" 155 lbs. Is the Zx6r going to kill my wrists if I want to go touring and really pile up the miles? What about valve adjustments and other routine maintenance? Is the Zx6r going to cost me more to maintain? I do most all of the mainteance on my Bandit. Thanks in advance for your comments. Said another way, should I stick to a sport touring bike or just go for it with a sport bike?
The ZX-6R is a great bike, but it's going to make you work a lot harder for your speed. If you've never ridden a supersport 600, you'll be struck by how much you need to rev it to get good steam from the engine room compared to the Bandito or the MH900e. If you're young, then the racy ergos won't be that hard on your wrists, but it's definitely harder on older riders. The ZX-6R won't necessarily cost more to maintain, but it'll definitely take longer than your Bandit; you'll need to remove a lot more components to do valve adjustments.
Thanks Kento! Been a subscriber (paper) for over a year and love it. Keep up the good work.
No worries, thanks for reading Sport Rider!

Alexander Skarsgard
A favorite character in Charlaine Harris's novels, and quite a pivotal one later in the series, Eric Northman has become a firm favorite among fans of the television show as well. We suspect that Alexander Skarsgård has rather a lot to do with that appeal, so we jumped at the chance to ask him about his attraction to Eric as well.
You've played a US Marine in Generation Kill and you're staring in the remake of Straw Dogs, but what was it that struck a cord with you in True Blood?
Initially it was Alan Ball. My agent called and asked me if I'd like to work on a vampire series, and I was like, "What? What is that?" They said it was Alan Ball, and I said okay.
The name attracted you then?
Oh definitely. I was a big fan of his work. And then when I met with Alan, he told me about the character, this 1,000-year-old Viking vampire, and I was like "Hell yeah, I'll do that."
It must have been quite a shock to the system though? Changing between two radically different projects?
As you mentioned earlier there was a real transition between shooting in Africa for seven months (with Generation Kill), and that was very real and very gritty in the way it's shot and written, and the next step was this. It's so over the top – I mean it's great for an actor. I think it's important to find a new challenge. When you leave a project it's important not to step into something that's like what you've just done.
True Blood is an odd show in some ways, in that despite all of the sex, the violence and the drama, there's a dark humor underlying it all. How would you sell it to someone who hadn't seen it?
It's really a wild ride. True Blood is funny, and sexy, and it definitely has that Southern flavour. But at the same time it's very smart – it's obviously fictional but you can definitely draw parallels to our society that we live in, and issues that we deal with.
You're referring to the vampires trying for civil rights?
Yeah, definitely, what minorities have to go through, trying to fit in with society, all of that.
Did you take much in the way of inspiration from the literary version of your character?
I don't know about Eric, because he doesn't play a big part during the first season. But I got the books and read the first five when we starteed shooting just to get a bit of knowledge and to understand the character a little. And it obviously helped me a lot to understand Charlaine Harris's world that she created.
Can we expect and expansion of the relationship between Eric and Sookie? In the books, of course, that's quite a big thing…
Yeah, exactly. It happens later in the books though, but the tension is certainly there and Eric is intrigued by Sookie, and that definitely grows stronger for sure.
Has the exponential success of the show surprised you?
Yeah, I've never experienced this before. I really enjoyed it when we worked on it and I thought it was great, but you never anticipate that. It's so wild and it's crazy how big it's gotten – something happened between season one and two and it just seemed to explode when season two started. I was in Sweden for a month and I got back as the first episodes of season two were airing in the States, and it was crazy how different it was.
Moving ahead, what can we expect from Eric in season three?
I honestly don't know. We start next month and we haven't gotten the scripts yet – bloggers know more than I do.
Are you shooting in the same locations as before?
Yeah, we're shooting in Hollywood, in and around Los Angeles. I know there'll be more flashbacks and I'm really looking forward to that. It's great, especially when your character's a thousand years old.

David Thoreson missed a three-point shot to tie it at the buzzer as the Tigers fell short in their impressive bid to upset defending CIF champion Pasadena 57-54 to open the third annual National Prep Classic hosted by St. Joseph on Wednesday night.
The Tigers, led by first year head coach Laurie Decker, fell to 3-3 after the hard-fought battle.
SLO trailed 11-10 after the first quarter and 24-16 at the half. The Tigers inched closer and managed to tie it 34-34 in the third quarter, before starting the fourth quarter trailing 41-34.
Parker Lauritzen hit two 3-pointers and finished with 14 points. David Thoreson led the Tigers with 17 points.
Andre Spight, a 6-3 guard committed to UTEP, tallied 17 points and Brandon Jolley added 15 for Pasadena, which is the same team that beat Arroyo Grande in the CIF title game last season.

He placed a wager on a University of Tulsa football game. The stakes were high. A conference championship was on the line.
Irony is a word often misused. So I will ask you. Is it ironic that a local morning television show followed up the breaking news of TU athletic director Ross Parmley's gambling investigation with a cheesy segment involving our Mayor Dewey Bartlett wagering pies with a mayor in Florida?
Let's be crystal clear on one issue. If it was uncovered that Parmley bet on the University of Tulsa during his employment at the university, he deserved to be fired and will be blacklisted from college athletics. Just ask Pete Rose.
However, if his bets were outside of the university's scope, then what is the big deal?
What red-blooded American hasn't filled out a parlay card, three-team teaser, or put a couple of dollars on Tony Romo to throw an interception with the game on the line at some point in their lives?
How many "households divided" watched anxiously as OU defeated OSU? The orange clad member of the family may have earned dish duty for a week after a friendly wager.
Oh, you say Ross Parmley should be held to a higher standard because the hypocrites of the NCAA have guidelines as such?
Bosh. TU took the easy road.
They bowed down to the faux NCAA powers. An investigator showed up in town and the president of the university, while vacationing in a foreign country, decided to fire Parmley immediately.
Imagine Bill Blankenship making a season-changing, fourth quarter, fourth down call from the Buckaneer.
It's not like Parmley was caught intoxicated or urinating in public. That would have been an embarrassment for TU.
Parmley has brought more positive coverage during his one-year tenure at TU than Bubba Cunningham did during his stint.
The hiring of Danny Manning as the men's basketball coach was a coup. It earned the university press during March Madness. When is the last time the university was relevant in March?
He supported Bill Blankenship. His radio appearances were always extremely positive. He combined knowledge and enthusiasm like very few can for the home team.
TU took the easy road.
They could have made even more positive inroads across the country by standing by their man. By all accounts he did a fantastic job in the face of unprecedented adversity with conference realignment and the like.
If the NCAA forced sanctions or Parmley's removal, so be it. But do not make that call prematurely.
The university should have called a press conference stating their support for the athletic director. Everyone deserves a second chance in life.
Picture President Steadman Upham flanked by the entire coaching staff showing a united front. Think of it as an intervention before a live audience or at least in front of three local media guys looking for a free lunch.
Each head coach could speak a few words on behalf of Parmley's leadership. At the conclusion, Parmley would stand while surrounded by both his personal family and his work family. A remorseful, apologetic, forgiveness speech would follow. At its center would be lessons learned and gratefulness for the second chance provided by the outstanding leadership at TU.
We see second chances awarded daily with players who can score touchdowns and knock down 3-pointers. Why not give the same latitude for an athletic director?
Parmley was mentioned once in the 84-page gambling investigation. Paying by check seems to have been his biggest misstep.
If his "addiction" was to alcohol, would he have been tossed out so quickly? Or would someone within the university have sought help for him?
"Today, I terminated the employment of TU Athletic Director Ross Parmley," read a statement released by Upham on Dec. 4.
"In October of 2011, Ross shared with me that he was cooperating in an FBI investigation pertaining to a gambling case in Oklahoma City. At that time, Ross told me that his involvement was solely due to a family connection to the person being investigated," the letter continued.
Would an alcoholic be forthcoming with their addiction even to family members? Or would it take an incident to bring the issue to a head?
The letter went on: "TU is cooperating fully with officials from the NCAA to comprehensively investigate this matter and bring it to a fair and proper conclusion. This a difficult time [sic] for TU and we realize that our reputation is at stake."
"We are determined to uncover the whole truth in every aspect of this case."
So why the rush to terminate his job? Wouldn't "the whole truth" be an important factor before making a monumental decision for the athletic department?
If we are to believe the lone reason for Parmley's dismissal was due to his gambling exploits in 2009, this seems irrational.

-- turning out -- arguably the biggest problem our government is facing right now complete and utter out of control over us today.
There is just no way to sugar coated every day in the month of November our government took it -- a little more than five billion dollars in revenue.
But and we spent eleven billion dollars in exchange leaving us with a gaping Paul.
Six us today -- fox news's Bret Bair is reporting eight -- part series are -- beginning tonight on special report he's here to shed.
Some much needed light on some really staggering statistics Bret thank you for coming back to the show.
-- this great report because this is -- don't know what is -- we're not even close to closing this enormous hole what did you find in your reporting.
It's pretty made.
You know as we talked to economist sweet talk to politicians on both sides of the aisle we talked to all kinds of people for this five part series.
And we break it down really simple math we start out with as you started what the government brings in per day.
Five billion dollars in revenue the government spends the federal government spends eleven billion the differences six billion dollars he ask everyone.
How can and federal government continue to do that.
Well as simple.
It can't.
Now we go through the breakthrough of what exactly the federal government is spending the money on.
And the last bucket that the federal government spends it on it's the smallest.
But it's perhaps the most ominous is 854.
Million dollars a day.
On interest on the debt 854.
Million dollars a day on just interest we don't get anything for that.
This is interest on the sixteen trillion dollars more than sixteen trillion dollars in debt.
Now that's with historically low as you know interest rates if interest rates -- -- up up at all even in the slightest bit.
Then all of the people we talked to say that these different sectors including the federal government.
Are really going to have a hard time paying the bill.
-- -- -- -- I -- character but I just I I always think about a household at this point and if you work.
Taking in this much money every day and then spending that much more.
And the interest on your credit cards were that high.
You go insane with worry because you would realize that you were just driving yourself into certain bankruptcy.
When I say that to people and economists say -- -- it's not the same thing do you buy that is that what people said you it's it's not it's not a worry don't worry.
Now everybody we talked to and I'm talking.
Die hard Democrats and that you know.
Every kind of political stripe.
I economists of all flavors.
Said listen this there's it's simple.
-- it is unsustainable.
-- the path that we are currently on.
Is unsustainable.
And no matter your party no matter your ideology now there are different fix is -- there are different ways in different numbers that.
You know how much you bite off now and what programs you take.
And and really tackle.
At the front end but it's a huge huge issue to turn this federal government.
If you look at has an aircraft carrier you have to start turning it.
Now in order to getting it going in a different direction.
By the time.
-- the number -- be totally unsustainable.
And it's not even really possible to raise enough revenue.
To close that gap I mean you can't you say that difference in between -- is five billion a day.
You know if were only if they're only taking in six billion you can't basically double.
The amount of revenue that's coming -- you you can't squeeze the stone not much it's not possible is.
Red banner head but -- -- one quote it's like -- irresponsible brother in law runs of this credit cards and goes bust and says the real problem.
Is because you stop sending me checks you know it's crazy that irresponsible I mean we've become a kind of debtor nation.
That this mentality is if we can only squeeze more money out of people who are working working honestly earning their living there we could solve this problem that's.
Obviously from Arthur Brooks at AEI he has a thought process about this.
A from a taxes perspective but if you look at the spend it.
Yeah it is a massive massive problem -- lay it out in five parts all -- special report.
I can't wait to see it all comes back to these fiscal cliff talks as well.
I've got to ask you because you were right at the source we have our money meter we're gonna force you can play along here -- a scale of your want to money.
What do you think the odds are that we're gonna get a deal done here on the fiscal plant.
I'm going with two.
OK and that's.
I think that's Republican's name.
Get to the point where they just you know sign the tax deal they give you two bills.
And name they.
Move forward that John Boehner could.
Make a deal.
But the trouble is getting to 218 votes in his chamber in the house I don't think he can get there.
Interesting -- prepare we look forward to that report thank you so much for sharing -- -- staff.

Hey all!
Yep, finally back to the news posting and chatting on CCC! For anyone who wants to know, the move went well -- aside from the usual car problems, lots of snow through Detroit and the, ahem, dietary issues from three days of coffee and 'road' food.
I, however, still don't have a job. AND, as the universe may have it, might be moving right back where I came from. *laugh*
So, on some castle-releated issues, moving large MOCs. I should have taken some pics to add to the article put up on the main page a while back, but I didn't. So, all you get is the text. yeah, how 80's.
To move the Black Tower, I broke it down into the 11 main sections. Three tower sections -- each about 5 feet tall. One top section, and a lot of lower tower bits and the landscaping. The small parts were easy to move, I just put them in boxes with a lot of padding -- no help to you there.
But, for the really big parts, I think I have some good advice. I wrapped the towers in a LOT of bubble wrap and taped the wrapping pretty tight. I figured this would help with the overall structural integrity of the building as it got bounced around by the movers, etc. I also used Saran Wrap (of Glad Cling Wrap if you've got it) to wrap the bits.
For packing, I had to buy wardrobe boxes for the three tallest sections. After bubble and Saran wrapping, I just stood the sections up in the boxes and packed pillows around the structure. I didn't put anything on the bottom of the box -- I figured a flat surface would be better than a pillow, etc, for weight distribution, etc.
So! After all that, the entire creation moved really well. Only a few small bits came off -- and they were easy to find in all that wrapping. The movers did comment that I was more than a little insane as the volume occupied in the moving truck by the Lego boxes was huge -- all total about 20 large boxes, plus the three wardrobe boxes. *laugh* And to think I need about 100 times that amount of Lego for the next MOC. Ah well.
Glad to be back!

State of the Arts
Josh Tickell's new film Fields of Fuel [1] is a documentary, but it's also an adventure story. It chronicles his cross-country journey in a van that runs on veggie oil.
In it, the 32-year-old author, public speaker and energy expert uses his "veggie van" tour to show how our dependence on oil is damaging our democracy and spoiling the environment. But Tickell also aims to inspire — he shows audiences that it's possible, right now, to drive cars powered by something other than gasoline.
Fields of Fuel will be one of 16 entries in the documentary competition at the Sundance Film Festival [2] in Utah next month. Distributors including Sony and Lion's Gate have already expressed interest in the film. Vermonters will get a sneak peek at it on Friday, December 28, during two showings at Merrill's Roxy Cinemas.
Tickell is bringing his film to Burlington because he hopes to raise money for a national tour for Fields of Fuel next spring. But mainly he'll be in town to visit his fiancée's family; he's engaged to actress Rebecca Harrell [3], who grew up in Hinesburg. The two currently live in Venice, California.
Tickell's interest in alternative energy stems from witnessing environmental degradation firsthand. "I grew up in Louisiana very close to oil refineries," he says. "I watched the pollution in my home state everywhere, in the rivers, in Lake Pontchartrain where we lived, and on the land. We have 150 petrochemical facilities there in a 100-mile area. It's called 'Cancer Alley,' because the pollution is so severe, there's a very high rate of cancer.
"From being a young kid in that environment," he adds, "it was just very obvious to me that there had to be other ways of making energy without hurting people or plant life or water."
In college, Tickell spent a semester abroad working on an organic farm in Germany, where he saw farmers growing and using veggie oil — also known as biodiesel — for fuel. He began researching biodiesel, and in 1997 and 1998, he made his first cross-country trip in the veggie van. He garnered mainstream media attention, appearing on "The Today Show," The Discovery Channel, CNN and in the pages of Maxim magazine. During the trip, he researched his first book, the 2000 manual From the Fryer to the Fuel Tank: The Complete Guide to Using Vegetable Oil as an Alternative Fuel. He also made a 12-minute film about the journey called "The Veggie Van," [4] which is viewable online.
After the publication of his book, Tickell decided he'd reach more people by making a movie, so he went back to school to study filmmaking. He earned a Master's degree in film from Florida State University.
Fields of Fuel is the fruit of his labors. The 90-minute nonprofit doc features footage from a second trip in the veggie van, but it also includes interviews with farmers, auto executives and celebrity activists such as Larry Hagman, Neil Young and Woody Harrelson. And it introduces a potential new fuel source: algae. "Algae are really the next generation of biofuels," Tickell explains. "Algae produce faster than any other living organism on the planet. For a field of soybeans, you basically wait a year for the soybeans to grow. With a field of algae, you wait two hours."
A film about algae doesn't sound so enticing — actually, it sounds kind of gross — but Harrell claims it's inspiring. The 27-year-old actress, who launched her career in 1989 when she starred in the movie Prancer, is working as Tickell's director of marketing. She's convinced Fields of Fuel will move audiences to take action. At a screening in Carmel earlier this month, she says a woman approached her and told her she'd be buying a diesel car and running it on biodiesel. "People really do have a transformation happen when they watch the film," Harrell says.
Harrell has had a number of acting gigs over the years; most recently she appeared in the horror flick Sugar Creek. She was just offered a role in another horror movie, but turned it down. "I've turned in my acting career," she declares. "It doesn't at all represent who I am. This totally expresses who I am."
After the screening at Sundance, Harrell and Tickell plan to take the veggie van — and Fields of Fuel — on a 50-city tour. They'll start in Los Angeles on Earth Day, then drive to New York City for the theatrical release in May. They're currently raising money for the trip. You can follow their fundraising progress on their website, www.fieldsoffuel.com [5].
Tickell believes that if he can get a million Americans to see his movie, he'll be able to create a tipping point for biodiesel. He cites the success of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth as proof that movies like his can change the world.
And he points out that he'll be touring with the film during a presidential election year. "Our goal is to green the vote next year, using this film as the tool," he says. "So it's much bigger than just a movie."
Fields of Fuel Friday, December 28, Merrill's Roxy Cinemas, 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. $25. Q&A with the filmmaker follows.
