Congress has 35 days to reach a deal on prevent the economy from going over the fiscal cliff.
But it's no mystery what the issues item SP result the Democrats in congress now Republicans now so -- President Obama.
Entitlements -- -- in a country toward financial -- in fact here's what the president said all the way back in 2010.
The major driver of our long term liabilities.
Everybody here knows.
Is Medicare or Medicaid or -- -- spent nothing comes close.
Social Security we could probably fix the same way Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan sat down together and they could figure something out that is manageable.
Medicare Medicaid.
Problem down the road that's where.
That's that's going to be what our children have to worry about.
The theory are two years later and still no plan some on the left in congress are even refusing to deal with that simple reality for example.
Vermont senator Bernie Sanders who caucuses with the Democrats take -- -- I get very nervous wanna hear the president -- and others continue to talk about quote unquote entitlement reform.
Which I'm afraid it's just another word for cuts in Medicare and Medicaid maybe even a Social Security.
All right so.
Brian let's start with you today to use you that surprise.
-- was right to get -- Yes they want I think in the end it is RTS has started today do you think that there are any closer to a deal like that and seemed like after Thanksgiving people started to get back to work in the staking out some territory.
You know I was I was really encouraged to the Washington Post -- over the weekend Sunday and -- the president picked up the phone.
And he was talking to leaders on both sides say let's get something done -- a pick up the New York Times it by mistake and I found out inside you have -- Liberal Democrats like.
The senator Rockefeller.
-- Dick Durbin.
In -- saying hey we better not touch entitlements they Mr.
President you've got to watch yourself because we won the election.
Let's focus on those taxes on the rich and let's deal with entitlements and the -- that scares me because that's unrealistic it goes against what we just heard the president United -- -- -- -- and when it comes to just that -- When you do the -- It is clear that entitlements are the things that they need to do -- -- -- good opportunity in front of them and yet still we don't hear any sort of plan to talk to deal with it.
-- we heard today senator Reid said quote when asked.
He couldn't name any of the cuts are Democrats we want to offer in the fiscal -- Clinton negotiations can say quote we need to get credit.
For cuts previously made this is today us senators us cuts previous and I'm scratching my head try to feel what cuts.
The Democrats made prior to that they want credit for.
And if they did make that -- credit cuts.
Why do we -- up another four years in the road and another trillion dollar deficit they don't get credit for anything if you just do.
Real honest to goodness negotiations Starr for -- right now about cuts in and talk about it when -- gonna raise revenues.
Harry -- mean by that.
That they should get credit for 'cause -- made on what.
Well that's a six the question I'm not exactly sure -- -- document but I know this much.
There will be cuts in entitlement programs that will be readjusted and entitlement programs and they will be at a tax increase on -- Americans of -- size.
I cannot believe -- Obama's gonna travel around the country and make a stink about this he doesn't think he's going to be able to get them to go along with at least some marginal increase rates.
That's a deploy and asking your take on that because the president just off the campaign trail and a victory a major victory and -- 2012 election.
But now he's gonna go back -- and try to sell the plan that I think that he -- believes that he just one on.
Do you think that he needs to do this type of roadshow to try to get support for -- that's all he ever does this road shows I mean this is how he wins -- how he won the election with a giant.
As his own spokesperson called it PR offensive -- fortunately we're gonna be the losers because it doesn't do anything to change the policy.
No I don't.
Begin to know.
How Harry Reid thinks or how his brain works.
But if you believe what Nancy Pelosi said she said if you want to look what our plan is for Medicare.
Just look at -- -- some wondering Bob with the cuts that -- talking about are the 500 billion in cuts.
That they RD made it to Medicare that that were didn't hide the entire election -- actually gonna start to take credit for those.
But this is really scary -- I think he's trying to he's trying to rally.
The people on his side he believes that they think they should tax the rich I have to say he doesn't even have the will of his own party senators like Chuck Schumer says no.
Gotta be a million or more conservative senators that are up for reelection or -- years are saying no way and don't let me ask unelected.
Of the OK okay let's that -- remembered that he took a lot of heat the last time around when he got to lose.
To -- debt ceiling Kia she they're suing issue and he was negotiating the whole time and not out in the country campaigning.
And this time around I think they've decided that that kind of strategy stay in Washington dealing with the Republicans -- mean what.
-- whose campaign he got one side -- has raised taxes the other side so I think I'll get at -- he's -- -- Stella but the super committee couldn't get it done.
BI gang of six couldn't get done how these people -- -- -- -- we have Grover Norquist saying that none all all the people or allegedly and it.
Violate their pledge I think only Lindsey Graham as long as I yes in fact -- -- -- rest of us are kind of waiting for Democrats come open but there's some way to bin Grover Norquist head from the show why I -- -- is usually action and.
Well I think he's just now about the red shows a President Obama -- -- any talks about raising taxes on the rich I think there probably is some.
There is a constituency in America says yes that's the right thing -- Boehner says -- for more revenue.
-- -- -- get it a different way because we think raising rates will hurt the economy but we would reduce their deductions that you get to the same place.
But still in none of that with president Obama's plan Russia he doesn't even answer the question that he brought up in 2010.
Which is then what are you going to do about entitlements and how would you guys make it better -- I don't think raising the retirement age.
By six months or a year -- -- and solve the problem.
I -- my head's gonna explode because out of road and keep saying we had raised Texan resort balance the budget we know the math doesn't add up and number two is.
He has to -- would roll the sleeves and get things done behind closed doors in the -- frustrated.
They let them be frustrated.
He just got to -- and make a deal and he's got to -- wouldn't -- the framework out he could not either not getting it for what this time around you know -- -- -- volleys and very -- what -- mean I want him to go vote go with speaker Boehner and I wanted to say this is what here's my -- what are your car -- come out -- we got a deal to get what they did that they did at the fiscal -- let the -- let's see what could they -- him -- -- it -- here's the deal.
You're coming out of 600 billion we're gonna come up 600 billion they say their agreement they walked away from the table all the sudden pres Obama -- the wanted eight Erica.
They they -- they don't want the entitlement cuts you know the left that didn't want the entitlement cuts and Bob you've even said this yourself on the show.
That's what's on the DL as President Obama couldn't get his side to come along with and how we ran -- well that's an incredible -- from a PR standpoint that the Republicans get a lot of attention for.
Being divided an.
It's actually did -- who are more and more divided but they don't get as much attention when.
Because if if all that's its focus -- on -- You know they want to take shots honestly -- there there is a problem.
Because on the were on the right -- -- phrase this properly between the the the Republicans and the right.
There's -- there's another -- forget right left -- -- -- advisor on the right that says.
They're -- -- staunch fiscal conservatives are saying don't raise taxes don't close loopholes.
Don't and the cup deductions don't do anything that's gonna increase revenue unless you're getting the spending cuts.
And the middle of the road that some -- that was Republicans are saying now what we need to we need to work -- so.
How we gonna get at our house which you know -- -- -- -- -- Sort of reductions will be on the table and and I wanted to with the differences between raising rates -- -- more deductions you well if you take Dutch is that the -- fewer dollars in their pocket the so called wealthy people.
Are gonna have let that fewer dollars of the pocket which gives -- risk there I'd say -- less money into the economy is much more sensitive to playing with marginal rates than playing with deductions that the biggest issue.
I say the numbers.
If you do the deductions that are proposed it's a trillion dollars over ten news that's a hundred billion dollars a year.
If you do the it will -- -- bush tax cuts for over 250000.
Let those expire that's another.
Eighty billion dollars -- up to a 180 billion dollars in you have a deficit of over a trillion dollar figure you're only 18% of the way.
You're still missing 82% of the -- here.
-- -- -- biggest ever endorsed a so so that's that -- -- -- -- back in Louisiana Tech number were -- had just two minutes left and I ask you one other thing that we could you product transparency.
There is so there are some on the right who are trying to push for the negotiations.
To be -- -- in that out in the public to be up and broadcast on C span.
Would you I don't I think that is terrible like it is what it like it is a terrible idea because -- is the only time they really dealt with their sleeves up and working deals I -- -- hurt your right.
And that very grand compromise we -- over the stimulus pack you talk about obamacare when you talk about.
The auto bailout bill did things -- totally on the road the president was not engaged he passed it along.
I would like to see him say.
I don't care -- Harry Reid says Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security have to be restructured.
Not fine -- and obamacare it's got to be in play you know -- -- tendencies and I give I don't know what.
What's what's I don't want to get these guys that they -- -- -- what they look like with their sleeves rolled that's not remain a new report.
On the hit driver on the hill we both -- in Washington the chances of it actually really happening on C span.
It would happen in the men's room -- would -- in the hallway got a bee colony each other after the camera in -- in what they -- As someone brought this idea to me and it's really crazy what for Republicans were to say.
I'm not gonna vote on this you want to push for higher tax increases Boehner brings it to the floor they don't vote and this all becomes the Obama tax -- -- this becomes.
The Obama spending cuts this all gets clicked on him let alone the people voted for him Andrea let them out.
-- about the possibility of -- and then house Democrats going along with maybe John Boehner caucus in order to pass it that's how the body could be could end up cost -- in the house.
But when it's also -- -- sitting here in December 31.
The Democrat on an emergency session of the five.
-- be here in case an injury.
They'll be they'll be sitting here saying this is the deal we got to cut and unfortunately got to get Democrats to come along with Republican -- I -- -- politics I don't think enough people are talking about them what's the right policy.
What's the right answer with a solution to get the economy going again and and see that Social Security Medicare.
Saved for it as the next generation to nationalist -- -- quick point -- we as of five or at least than conservatism or.
Body should be eight inches in -- still we can't eat but for the source pinnacle of the crowd.
Not we pay people pay into the Social Security system it's supposed to be self install itself bomb that there in the Medicare -- No no but we pay with payroll taxes and -- into Social Security it's government that raid Social Security -- -- Social -- even on the tables because they took two trillion dollars.
That we -- to -- any -- -- other Arab.
It is original question was you wanted to transparency and have people like Grover Norquist sit down there and shoot his mouth now he what they can you remember I'm there anybody there but he he seemed ladies and now he's not I would if -- Republicans I led and come out -- -- re getting away with the payroll tax.
And I find the spending cuts to do and I'm on the table if you want -- reform Social Security retirement age 91.
-- -- brought another -- -- -- talking about the policy actually we had a presidential ticket with the courage to talk about the policy -- but they work completely.
I think -- and -- I don't know yet.
And the people are gonna have to -- sign it right before we came out keep Tennessee the Hoover Institute put out a PC called it he says he says that the president -- laughing president today saying.
Through spokespeople that he would Vito.
Anything that did not have the tax -- increase but I think.
Given that the economic consequences of that will be so dire and keep his right and the president has offered to big bluff of saint -- Warren Buffett he's.

While looking over this forum, I've notice a lot of ideas get flamed because of two reasons: "It doesn't fit the timeline" and "Doesn't work well with the island setting" (ex: bombers and ships). I'd like to give some thoughts on these issues, and in general tell the people who get so worked up about this to chill out.
"Doesn't fit the timeline":
To put it simply: Who Cares? The new units/weapons won't be in the campaign, which is the only thing constrained by the 1985 timeperiod. I think it would be great to have weapons from different time periods so that missions authors can create settings from the present day, or farther back, such as vietnam.
"Doesn't work well with the island setting":
Again, it doesn't affect the gameplay in the campaign or current missions, so it's up to a mission author to make it work in a specific mission. It could be cool to have a mission where you get in a tough spot and call in a bombing run from a B-52 or something. Or maybe hunker down in a town as bomb rain down all around you...
Anyway, my point is that these additions would only add to the game, it couldn't hurt it. (I guess it could lead to some boring MP games, but the admin should have things set up so anyone can't call in an air strike at any time )
The bottom line is that almost no idea will really get done, 'cause BIS is busy doing important stuff, I'm just tired of seeing every idea get shot down, when it could be cool if used well in mission.

Petition Agianst Corporal Punishment in South Carolina Schools
Check out the links in the upper right hand corner of this page for links that support the idea of my petition. Why should we monitor how much violence our children are exposed to on t.v., when the teachers in some of our South Carolina schools our teaching our children different. Our family relocated last year from Kershaw county to Lexington county, only to find out after the fact that Mack primary still enforces Corporal Punishment. So I decided to home school my children as long as we live in this district. Well I think its long pass time to put a stop to it, and I decided to start this petition agianst it and send it to the school board. I do not think someone should diciplin my children without loving them first..

The Grammy Award winning two studio album seven compilation albums 38 singles.
The author of this god still bless the USA plea for better America and the thirtieth anniversary.
Of the iconic.
God bless the USA hey you know -- -- Thanks -- mailing list let me just -- -- spin here this is thirty years old now here we go.
-- -- And I and his.
-- know.
Trying -- -- and really wanted to play the whole thing as a snippet -- I just love how the song builds and builds and and the -- comes around and -- -- when you say stand up and and you take that beat in between.
That in the next phrase I wonder how that came back -- you don't expect that to be happening at the end of the -- But I can live -- towards that.
What can the Nashville.
You know I I took -- -- the told the country actually they're just regrettable and Charley pride it's kind of -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- As you start the last chorus around.
It's -- That he's.
The -- -- like a little little hesitation.
And I have had the musicians.
I think in bars and meters numbers.
And I thought you know this is a good time to take a breath right here and kind of reflect a little country music and that's why.
There's very effective.
Very effective I can gradually thirty years I -- you had no idea that when you wrote this in 1983 would have the legs I guess it has today still.
How can only -- -- the -- of the studio and had a record hit that first of the second of I can't write -- for -- Already in the can and we've had -- on the radio and MTA -- -- -- McEntire George Strait by government.
And the local exploration -- is stable of stars.
And I did you know I have a platform now.
To write a song that I wanted to write all my life couldn't writes I would think it's almost twenty years in the capital many of the great you know indicators the rat pack.
If that was an opening act for bill medley that's me with open -- it in the main room just.
And I think of -- the -- and overseas to close this shows they don't want to all the time.
And I -- that's what I wanted to do I want to write a song that -- my show like that.
And but I had no idea -- -- saw statistic came to me one day is right down and -- and down the road in the book.
-- of Vegas by the way you gave up going to your graduation and you not to to go to Vegas to perform.
Yeah I want to -- first Allen and what didn't -- talented it was ninety miles frustrated Sacramento California and I haven't really it's to get out of town that would take out of prison my grandparents on a farm.
And I I guess I had wanderlust I got to go and I grandparents gave me a car and -- you graduated here you are.
And I started well I started at the golden hotel in Reno Nevada that ignited a graduation but can't hit the irony is that the principal of the school and I'm -- -- will miss his name's.
It's good to me when I respected by the public that you'll get -- of your diploma my dead body because you didn't go through the graduation ceremony.
He thought that was very important that I have been that that bad experienced.
And you know what two years later he died and went back and got.
-- -- -- -- The -- with -- string on her finger time -- their hands well is that before god bless you were saying -- the charts in 1982.
Number five number two in Canada by the way didn't return to.
I made enough ethnic -- that that they didn't write that degree and even McEntire to the cover of it a bit but then -- great thing about those kinds of songs some of which you have -- held.
The stories they tell that's what's so great of -- country music right.
We have had a heart to it you know that it's.
We have a lot of songs about strategy and break up and and the emotions that's tied up when people have.
At present between them you know and then the men women think differently you're gonna have those problems.
In god bless the USA moving forward now a year after -- had this song out 1983.
You wrote this in the back of a bus correct.
You have got a lot of road somewhere and I can't say we're probably to an Arkansas Texas and you know with a lot of touring the United States.
If you stay -- -- -- because I'm from California and I spent twenty years in Nevada.
I had really -- the United States but until -- -- -- compared with the national.
Well then I started.
Getting the geography in mind that the US predicament without -- first.
But the rest of the country and it really did give insight to how people think and how much -- -- -- America.
This would Wear a son just came to you quickly did it would do you have to struggle over and I -- get the sense that it just kind of flow and adding it.
Yeah it was pretty clear there I think I labored with -- What how to put this city you know -- actually -- to Houston New York to a right.
-- read my neighbors of course is that that time.
And then it has its.
Deteriorated that Detroit was Motown was ahead of the auto industry and and Houston was the within our industry and it probably still that tech is that.
But it -- the public defenders new York and Los Angeles.
You're -- -- I had a record I think around 1617 years old and it -- that American Bandstand Philadelphia and the departure.
And have -- -- thirteen year old kids who come out of school they would vote on the ground and unfortunately my -- -- -- -- of my life.
My career which is my first -- or without you get this to happen is that the tenant at number.
Like yeah.
-- -- here for another 45 years thanks to those thirteen year old that.
I got to thinking about you know what was important in Philadelphia those days where you're main places the -- across the United States you would.
The Chubby Checker did that with a twist or -- USA right.
Did you always sit out to be -- country artists.
No my background of jazz and rhythm and blues.
I didn't play dixieland opened Disneyland in 1955 -- back to found in the keystone cops quartet.
In particular may be my favorite music but I certainly -- my mother with the jazz player.
That's probably -- navy band and and so I have kind of a market and I hit first song I ever learned -- about panel by myself but I hear what stand cantons.
Artistry in rhythm.
And and I with a horn player from then on I think I got a place -- -- you know it's amazing when you talk artists like you and people who know new is in that particular niche like country music and they don't really always get.
Or understand or aware of the broad spectrum music that you are capable of participate in and and in fact have a background.
You know what they -- -- the battle that was sixteen years old.
And I -- I'd go across the -- from the hobo hotel Paris Club was right behind it.
And they brought in those acts from Nashville and people who -- -- -- with a stunned at how good they were.
And I used to go listen to them and I understood that they were jazz player still a lot of them but they -- documented because that they live that's -- -- -- the money.
Conway Twitty was again you get -- rockabilly -- -- what they haven't and no Jerry Lee Lewis and although in those guys.
Who really some of color -- earlier stuff I love them in and very different than than what he really became known for.
Well Kenny Rogers with jazz bass player Ronnie Millsap -- piano player and he had great jobs that was great deep into the great piano player.
A lot of people don't know how well they play -- -- one of the best guitar players in Nashville and he notices player.
And you can't always plan on simply crossing over ten.
Well no that's that's the hardest door to go through your life.
And I've had about six -- that actually did cross over before the door closed.
-- -- now god bless the USA.
Has become an anthem and in many cases a conservative -- -- -- your politics -- minor very different and you supported Romney.
But did you you never probably thought that this would be when you're writing an -- weren't thinking.
Well this'll be great for conservatives.
Verses liberals and I'm sure that was not in your head when -- wrote the -- No weapons and and -- effect because my father served in the navy in World War II the -- -- -- this -- -- in this song a little -- and then it died because they recognize the sacrifices they've made.
And even my kids when they were like nine -- ten they actually what I meant by that -- I have to explain to them you know that the the ultimate sacrifice is -- giving your life.
And so -- -- -- them for that reason but when the sun came out in 1983.
It was -- -- song for spirit -- hope and just to pull people together.
Oddly enough the Democratic Convention was going to be effective system that next -- and everything that they commissioner says no you would do.
New Republican -- Caspian and I said no.
Instead Ronald Reagan's.
Staff called that they were gonna make a film that Ronald Reagan's life can we use your film and it's a -- and it's.
And I think what yes because I political Ronald Reagan well then it got tied -- -- the conservatives and that's been my choice but yeah but I never -- for that reason.
Deerfield or as a performer I guess in my I guess some of the country artists tend to be.
Conservative and that for some reason country music appeals to conservatives.
For some reason more than liberals although I think you know as a liberal myself I distort it WH and -- New York when it was a country station.
I spend a lot of my career in country music so.
I don't have that left right thing about it but.
Is there -- frustrating -- is that.
That it doesn't reach out beyond the political base of being too conservative.
Finally did and I and I have a lot of liberal friends -- the conservative friends.
And when I play for the target that I cannot use MySpace the pulpit.
-- artist has done that and it's been in this.
And I think that you can ask for Romney in and leave -- spoken and a conservative causes.
The ever fear that you're alienating a part of a potential audience when you do that.
I don't think it's competitive broadcasts that I'd never stood up and and made that statement.
I know that I think it -- -- -- -- -- what amounts to over the conservatives.
Right now now for example god bless the USA which had a resurgence.
After a 9/11.
Which is not the reason you want a resurgence obviously but then -- -- eleven beyoncé recorded it.
Proceeds going to benefit New York police and fire wind -- and fire widows and children benefit fund beyoncé certainly not a conservative -- -- I doubt.
Our consider you know where you are pulled the Clinton -- yes.
You know and I and I also by the way -- a member of the national down for the arts council when the president and for the next three years I'll be doing.
That was duty and one of my duty is to dominate those people for the national -- I nominated James Taylor and James Taylor -- for the current president.
So it's you know I don't have a one sided I mean I think kind of in the middle and take -- -- all of us to be patriots.
By the way you're very good to me because you allowed me to use the lyrics have god bless you -- -- my first book thank liberals for saving America.
And -- trying to find -- my latest but red white and liberal with my earlier -- can you -- you gave me permission to use -- netbook and -- grateful for that.
What are you doing now in terms of writing he's still right -- a regular basis.

NP Rank:
Relativistic Republicans
George Will has referred to some people involved in political correctness as "persnickety progressives." As someone who's fought political correctness ever since I knew what political correctness was, I give him credit for a rightful diagnosis. But there is another species I've seen more recently that has not received any attention in any media outlets. That species is the Relativistic Republican.
The Relativistic Republican is, foremost, a conman. He uses relativistic rhetoric to deny fact. He believes that there are no absolutes, which means that he is free to do as much harm as he wants to both nature and civilization. And the harm that is done affects everyone, and in a very absolute way.
I am a Democrat, but I am not a relativist. I affirm personal liberty and right over one's personal choices as an absolute - an absolute moral good and an absolute moral virtue. As for matters that affect the rest of us, such as global warming and federal debt, there is nothing to be relative about at all. These are matters of absolute factual reality, and no amount of conmanship, psyops, personal attacks or relativistic web-fabrication will change that.
The Republicans are very effective at two things: Lies and attacks. The first obscures the truth; the second makes it hard on the people who are working to tell it. It is often said that the Republicans go for the jugular, whereas the Democrats go for the capillaries. This state of affairs requires that some Democrats go for the jugular as well and to meet the Republicans at their ugly level.
I am willing to provide that service.

Does your brokerage place strict restrictions on your marketing and branding? At KW, we give you the freedom to create your unique, personal brand.
Hard Facts
According to a recent survey, 57% of buyers and sellers select an agent based primarily on the reputation of the agent. Only 4% reported taking office affiliation into account. Yet, at most national brokerages, agents are expected to promote the office brand first, and their personal brand second. This is not only an inefficient way to acquire business, it is also a destructive to the agent's sense of autonomy and independence, which are crucial to the success of any businessperson. At Keller Williams, we understand that your personal brand is your most valuable asset, and we do everything we can to support the building and promotion of that unique brand.
Options vs. Restrictions
At most brokerages, agents are given restrictive guidelines that govern every element of their branding--from the colors that can be used on flyers to the images that appear on websites. Oftentimes, brokerages will even disallow the use of certain vendors, tools, and techniques. At KW, we believe our job is to support your marketing efforts--not to regulate them. We provide training, tools, and vendor discounts that allow you to get more done with less resources. But, what we don't do is just as important. We don't tell you what you can send, how it must look, and who you can send it to.
Express Yourself
The culture of control that is so prevalent at most brokerages punishes agents who attempt to stand out and be different. We think this is crazy! Your uniqueness is what attracts people to you. We want you to be yourself, and we want your clients to connect with you on the strength of that authentic brand. Agents are more successful, energized, and engaged when they are able to freely express themselves. And, clients are attracted to agents who are successful, energized, and engaged. The equation is simple, and it's a big part of why KW continues to grow and flourish while other brokerages flounder.
Bound by Common Values
So, why do national brokerages place so many restrictions on your advertising? It's simple. It's about unity. They want to present a unified image to the world--to make it appear as though there are core principles that unite the agents. Of course, the colors you use on your fliers are not values, they are design choices. And this is the crucial difference between KW and other brokerages. We have real common values--values of faith, family, fairness, and togetherness. Our agents all adhere to these values and their clients know it. That's why we don't obsess over the small design choices you make on a day-to-day basis. When you are united by real common values, those values will shine through every interaction you have with your coworkers and clients. That's the type of branding we care about.

This is my second attempt at this blog post.. for some reason the time I spent on blogging about my rings before was wasted as wordpress "failed' to publish my post – fingers crossed this time….
If you are a friend of mine on Face Book or a fan of Art Clay Scotland then you will have seen my new gold rings already, but its far easier for me to talk about the process here. For there was quite alot that went into making these rings – which were made from my great grandmas old gold rings which were too small for my big fingers!!! First of all then we had to melt the gold down – which we did with a hot torch ….
Then this molten gold was poured into an ingot ….
which gave us this little nugget of gold….
Which was drawn through a rolling mill to give us enough length to make two rings…
So now we have our gold. And the actual process of making the rings began. This is the first time Ive ever worked with gold metal before – Ive only ever worked with Gold Clay in the past – so this was fun for me! First of all I had to shape the ring on a mandrel ..
And then cut it and solder the prepared tube into place
and then set the stone …
Then a little polishing, and a repeat of the process left me with these two rings!!
I have worn them everyday with pride and really did make them myself under Jareds expert eye and tuition. They feel special and full of meaning to me!
Just as soon as I can I'll be uploading, onto our web site, all the details of how you can make you own wedding/civil partnership rings with Jared. With an expert guiding you every step of the way its surprisingly easy to make beautiful, professional rings – and of course there will be that extra option of using your own gold too!!
Take a look at Jared 's web site here to see his stunning work!

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 25- A speech by President Barack Obama aimed at putting pressure on the Congress to pass immigration reform was interrupted on Monday by a heckler unhappy with the deportation of undocumented people in the United States.
BOISE, Idaho-- Eight Romanians who arrived in Idaho a decade ago face deportation after federal prosecutors say they entered sham marriages to stay illegally in America. Attorney Wendy Olson said they all lied to stay: Since 2012, seven have pleaded guilty to fraud, while another awaits U.S. District Court proceedings in Boise.
WASHINGTON, Nov 19- President Barack Obama said on Tuesday a piecemeal approach to achieving a U.S. immigration overhaul in the U.S. Congress is acceptable to him if it is easier than gaining passage of one large legislative bill. At a Wall Street Journal forum, Obama said he remains optimistic that an elusive immigration overhaul will be completed.

*Visa bond plan caused anger in India and Pakistan. LONDON, Nov 3- Britain has scrapped a plan to force people from certain African and Asian countries to pay a cash bond in return for a visitor's visa after it caused an outcry at home and abroad and exposed a rift in the governing coalition.
WASHINGTON, Oct 30- David Valadao of California on Wednesday became the third Republican in the House of Representatives to join Democrats in backing a sweeping immigration bill that includes a path to citizenship for immigrants who are in the country illegally.
House of Representatives is unlikely to act on the issue until at least early next year, which could complicate its chances of passing Congress.
WASHINGTON, Oct 17- President Barack Obama said on Thursday that "Americans are completely fed up with Washington" a day after the latest fiscal impasse was narrowly averted and called for talks with Congress on the budget, immigration and farm legislation.

How to Find Out if a Bad Tenant Has Ruined Your Property Value
If you're shopping for a home, now is the time to buy, with real estate prices and interest rates still fairly low. At the same time, there are things you need to be aware of, such as what a bad tenant can do to the livability of a property. So, if you're buying a place that may have rented in the past, do your homework.
Foreclosed Property Needs a Property Search Before You Buy
It's not always easy to determine whether someone was or had a bad tenant without physically inspecting the property. If you can't immediately view the property, there are things you can look into.
Do a property record search for that area and find out if you're buying a foreclosed property. Finding out a landlord wasn't paying his bills and you're being kicked out can cause otherwise reasonable people to do serious damage to a place before they leave. The same thing can happen if the property is being sold due to divorce, so looking into divorce records might provide some clues.
What is the Property Value?
Knowing if the tenant had a criminal history can also be helpful as the home might have been the sight of illegal activity that lingers. Your real estate agent should have run some sort of background check, but if you need to go further, there are sites that can do deeper checking for you.
The last thing you want to do is buy a property and find out a bad tenant has ruined the value. Find out if a bad tenant has ruined your property value here.

Much has changed in the respective professional lives of Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon as the IZOD IndyCar Series heads into its final three races of the year. In particular, the two Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammates are likely to be at different stages for this year's season finale, the MAVTV 500 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.
In a role reversal, it's Dixon who's back as the lead title contender, really for the first time since Franchitti returned to IndyCar after his one-year NASCAR Sprint Cup sojourn in 2008. Franchitti's all but out of championship contention while Dixon almost seems bemused at given the low points of his season, he still has a chance.
"I've said it before, but it's like the championship no one wants to win," Dixon noted Thursday at ACS, where he and Franchitti were on hand for promotional activity and a fan Q&A. "It's been a crazy one, I think. Besides on track, you have had the different penalties, the new additions in race control, etc. It's been exciting and disappointing at different aspects of the year. To look back at the finishes, it's almost mind boggling we're still in the race for the championship."
Franchitti, who is still keen on adding another win to his solitary one at this year's Indianapolis 500, will now morph into the main role of Dixon's wingman as the Kiwi seeks his third series title.
"I'd echo that; it's been a very odd season," he admitted. "Some of that has been the new car, engine formula, getting used to that. My season – apart from one day in May that went really well, and even that it had its interesting points, getting spun in pit lane – has been really tough. The performance has been there, but we haven't put results together. The 9 side has had the same issue on occasion.
"We have to work with Scott to put together a championship. He's been very grateful and good enough to me the last two seasons to help me in those races and I'm in a position where – even though it's one I don't want to be in – that I'd love to help him in any way I can."
Fontana, back on the IndyCar schedule for the first time since 2005 (a race Franchitti won), is set to have its own separate aero package. It will be much closer to the Indianapolis specifications, but set aside for the nature of the 2.0-mile oval.
Much has changed on the handling of the cars since Dixon's test at the track last November. The two estimated the race, however, would play out more like Texas (RIGHT) – where there was a separate aero package but with downforce reductions prior to the race itself. It spread the field out but still allowed the drivers to drive, rather than just hold on in a pack as in prior oval season-enders in years past (Chicagoland, Las Vegas).
"I'd say probably it will be more like Texas, as there's more of a natural flow here," Franchitti said. "But I'm hoping I have a better car here – my car at Texas was evil!
"That race was a great example of the drivers, teams and the series working together to come up with a formula to put on a good race and get rid of a pack. It turned out as a great race, but it was a big shock as how it worked."
"At Texas, the race was good, and people were coming and going," Dixon agreed. "There was lots of overtaking. But you're limited there with just the two lines, with big bumps in (turns) 1 and 2. When I was here testing, you had a real good feel for at least three lines. The race is gonna be crazy."
The biggest change in the track, Franchitti estimated, is that the asphalt has lost a bit of grip over time. Possible speeds are a question mark, and while Dixon and Franchitti had their guesses, it's unlikely to get a proper gauge on lap times until testing with the race-specific aero package is done there.
As a point of reference, Indianapolis' pole speed was more than 226mph with the extra turbo boost. Texas had a faster pole speed this year than last year – Alex Tagliani again on point but at a 215.691 compared to a 215.186 with the separate aero package. Speeds, obviously, won't be anywhere near the outright record of 241.428 set by Gil de Ferran at the track in 2000, but that was in an era with far more horsepower.
"When we tested it was only like 210, but we've seen the speeds go up substantially from when we started," Dixon said. "I'd guess somewhere in 215 to 220, maybe 217? I haven't looked at the formula or format for the wings yet, and I think it's still fairly open. Some one- or two-lap averages could be pretty high."
"Yeah, for Indy, it was maybe 212.8 the first time," Franchitti said. "That was not long before you tested. But qualifying was pushing 227. It's probably going to be a faster practice speed than qualifying speed if you caught a tow. Honestly, so long as we're quicker than the other guys, I don't care how quick it is."
Dixon's had a whirlwind few weeks, having only just returned to the U.S. from London where he attended the Olympics with wife Emma and others. The Dixons took in track and field events primarily, before Scott did his own several-thousand meter relay back overnight from London Heathrow to LAX, then along with his teammate participated in a long day's worth of media activity. As the kicker, he was set to go on another red-eye overnight Thursday to get to Sonoma for testing at that track on Friday.
The day was completed, however, by yet another Ganassi food premiere. After Franchitti and Dixon were announced as featured on special Kellogg's cereal boxes at Mid-Ohio, the two will have "Franchitti Baked Ziti" and "Scott's Hot Tater Tots" on the menu at the Drivers Cuisine Cantina concession stand for the Fontana race.
Not to be outdone, fellow Honda drivers Takuma Sato and Charlie Kimball will also have culinary dogs in the fight, with "Takuma Sato's Pork Chop Sandwich" and "Charlie Kimball's California Chicken Sandwich" also available for purchase at that concession stand.

Basketball for breakfast is on tap at Hulman Center on Saturday.
Indiana State and Iona have a rare 11 a.m. tipoff in their ESPN BracketBusters game today. It's a case where both teams hope the sun rises on a new day as far as their fortunes are concerned.
ISU (16-11) has lost three in a row and has seen its NCAA Tournament at-large hopes diminish. Two of ISU's three losses in that span were by four points or less.
ISU's losses have been frustrating enough, but the Gaels might have them beat.
Iona (15-12) has lost five of its last six, but all of the five were by the margin of a single possession. Two were double overtime losses.
The Sycamores' recent frustration can be tied primarily to turnovers. ISU has averaged 18.5 in its last two games. Iona's opponents average 14.2 giveaways per contest.
"We're playing hard, but there are little things in our game plan we're not focusing on as much as we should be. That's why we're losing close games," ISU center Justin Gant said.
Gant isn't overly concerned about his drop in scoring in the second half of the MVC season. Gant's scoring average in February has dipped to 5.3 points per game in February and he's reached double-figure scoring just once in the last 10 contests.
"I want to try and stay aggressive. I want to keep good movement within the offense with cuts and screens, things like that. I'm not always going to get the shot, but my screen can get a teammate open. I'm not worried about my scoring as long as I stay aggressive," Gant said.
Iona is currently tied for fifth in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. The Gaels are led by Lamont "Momo" Jones, who averages 22.9 points per game, the fifth-best total in the nation.
Iona – located in New Rochelle, N.Y., which is just north of New York City – has converted 38.2 percent of its 3-point shots. Sean Armand, Iona's second-leading scorer at 17.7, has made 43.3 percent of his 3-point attempts.
"Armand has a big-time stroke with NBA range. He needs no room and he can get his own off a step-back. You can't give him any room at all and he's strong enough to get the basket," Lansing said.
"Momo is just good. He can score off the bounce and uses how the defense plays him well. He's unbelievable off ball screens, he eats up space and he gets into his defenders and gets to the line," Lansing added.
Iona's up-tempo style is not one that ISU is accustomed to playing against.
"That's the hard thing about it. Not only do they have a really good team with outstanding players, they play a different way than basically every team in our league. It's a lot of things to prepare for," Lansing said. "The play zones, they switch a lot on defense and they score in a variety of ways. It's tough to prepare for them."
The game will be broadcast on ESPNU. It's the first time in the history of the BracketBusters series that ISU is playing in an ESPN-televised game. It'll be the last time as this is the final year of the event in its current form.

ISU hopes road toughness follows it home
The Indiana State women's basketball team went 1-2 on its recent road swing, but memorable moments also were scattered throughout the trip.
Zurek, one of ISU's best defenders, also working hard off the court
Winning basketball teams need glue players, the term sometimes used when referring to someone who helps hold it all together.
In some cases, that means getting the ball in the right place at the right time. Or having a knack for being in the right place at the right time.
It's more often than not coming away with a loose ball on the court. It's deflecting so many passes that you become the player that most annoys the opponent.
For Indiana State, that's Natasha Zurek. The junior athletic training major was inserted into the starting lineup for the past two games.
Zurek leads the Sycamores with 16 steals through six games, which isn't surprising to anyone on the team. -
Swift excels for ISU track in EIU Early Bird indoor track meet
The Indiana State men's track and field team won the Eastern Illinois Early Bird meet by scoring 133 points.
Eastern Illinois placed second with 111 and Illinois State was third with 70.
The Sycamores started off the meet strong with wins in the mile run and 60-meter hurdles.
Freshman David Timlin won the mile, leading from the gun in a time of 4:15.20. In the hurdles, senior Greggmar Swift led a dominating performance by the Sycamores as they took the top four places in the event. Swift won the race in 7.74 seconds. -
EIU might come at right time for ISU
Sometimes an opponent lines up just right on the schedule that suits a team's needs.
That's true for Indiana State as it travels to play Eastern Illinois at 8 p.m. today at Lantz Arena. And it's not because the Panthers have struggled, even though they have. -
Carmel firm's brace a good fit for Manning
Local entrepreneur Rick Peters is a devoted Indianapolis Colts fan, but he jumped out of his living room recliner on the evening of Nov. 13 when he saw an ESPN report on Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning's bad ankle.

Sophomore linebacker/defensive end Connor Underwood was named to the all-Missouri Valley Football Conference first team on Monday, heading a list of five Indiana State players honored.

Indiana State's women finish a three-game road swing by playing nationally ranked LSU at 12:30 p.m. today at Baton Rouge.
From The Press Box: If ISU figures out defense, look out
The Great Alaska Shootout is not going to provide the Great RPI Bump that Indiana State's participation in last year's Diamond Head Classic provided.
Indiana State holds off hot-shooting Pepperdine
Indiana State's men's basketball team is very much a work in progress defensively. Evidence of that came Saturday when Pepperdine shot 57.8 percent against the Sycamores in the fourth-place game of the Great Alaska Shootout.
But when it came down to winning time? Pepperdine's Waves crashed on the rocks of ISU's defense. -
Sycamores outpace Seawolves
Indiana State wanted a better defensive effort in its Great Alaska Shootout consolation semifinal game against host Alaska-Anchorage on Friday, but the Seawolves weren't going to give the Sycamores an orthodox offense to assess themselves with.
Humbled Sycamores want to make amends
The disappointment undeniably exists, but the bottom line for Indiana State's men's basketball team is there's nothing that can be done about its 63-62 loss to Tulsa late Wednesday night.
But the Sycamores want to remember it. They want to let the bad feeling they had simmer, but turn into something positive. -

Tulsa's switching defenses confounded Sycamores
Tulsa paid Indiana State the respect they feel the Sycamores earned with a 3-1 start and a win at Notre Dame on Nov. 17.
So the Golden Hurricane threw multiple defenses at the Sycamores. -
On target: Sycamores spreading the wealth with their shooting
Indiana State's men's basketball team did many things right during the 2012-13 season, but one thing it couldn't get a handle on was its 3-point shooting. The Sycamores shot 32.1 percent from 3-point range, ranked 252nd in the nation. It was going to take a lot of work to improve ISU's percentage. So far, hard work has had its own reward.
O'Leary eyes return to Hulman Center
Former Terre Haute North standout Matt O'Leary is hoping to help Loyola Chicago coach Porter Moser turn the program into a new chapter of success in a new conference.
ISU wants to take Hawaii spirit to Alaska
Since Greg Lansing took over as Indiana State's men's basketball coach, the Sycamores have seen their frequent flier and hotel points skyrocket.
After a decade or so prior in which the Sycamores mostly stayed in the Midwest to play tournaments, if they played them at all, holiday trips to Florida and Hawaii were on the docket during the last two seasons. -
Sanford vows to get ISU football back on track
Indiana State football coach Mike Sanford said that the Sycamores' just-concluded 1-11 season was a learning experience for everyone.
Free throws seal win for ISU women in 20-point comeback
Two free throws by Lashonda Littleton with 1.7 seconds left Sunday enabled visiting Indiana State to overcome a deficit that was 20 points at one time and earn a 68-67 nonconference women's basketball victory at Marshall.
METRO/PREP ROUNDUP: ISU volleyball barely misses MVC tournament
A 15-13 loss in the decisive fifth set at Southern Illinois late Saturday ended the Indiana State volleyball season one victory short of the Missouri Valley Conference postseason tournament.
ISU puts up fight, but can't hold off SIU in football
Indiana State's football team had nothing to play for aside from pride in its finale Saturday against Southern Illinois. The Sycamores also had an injury list that made it difficult to cobble together a starting unit at all.
Given the circumstances, ISU put up a very good fight against the playoff-hopeful Salukis, but the task was too much for the Sycamores as they fell 31-9 at Memorial Stadium. -
ISU women play today at Marshall
The Indiana State women's basketball players put their hands together at the end of practice Thursday, shouting a collective "do work."
On the heels of a 90-74 loss at Stetson, the Missouri Valley Conference preseason favorites are 2-2 and not content with losing, especially when giving up 90 points. -
Weather forced move of start line at NCAA
Indiana State coach John McNichols made the decision early Saturday morning to move the starting line up about 100 meters. The reason was to ensure every team in the NCAA Cross Country Championships would have a fair start. Sticking one team directly in front of a large puddle of standing water and another in front of a relatively dry area would not have provided fair conditions.
ISU defeats Truman
What do you expect when a Division II team pays a visit to a Division I arena?
In Truman State's case, you can expect a pretty good showing. Indiana State had some nervous moments against the Bulldogs, but the Sycamores prevailed 80-69 on Friday at Hulman Center. -
ISU football closes out season against SIU
Indiana State's football team had its last practice of the 2013 season Thursday and it had a jovial climax.
Favorites look to win at NCAA cross country championships
Two consensus thoughts prevailed in the hunt for the NCAA cross country individual championships: Kenyan Kennedy Kithuka of Texas Tech is the heavy favorite to repeat as men's 10,000-meter champion and Dartmouth senior Abbey D'Agostino, last year's runner-up, will be tough to stop from winning the women's 6,000-meter race.
ISU's Underwood family affected by Illinois tornado
Indiana State defensive end Connor Underwood can be forgiven if football wasn't the biggest thing on his mind this week as the team prepared for its season finale against Southern Illinois today.
New officiating edict could help ISU's Odum
For ISU, one player immediately comes to mind as far as who might benefit most from the new rules -- senior point guard Jake Odum.
Gant looms large in ISU's 2013-14 improvement
It's no overstatement that as Justin Gant went in the 2012-13 season, so did the Indiana State's men's basketball team.
- ISU women have options in the post
John Mascari's sights set high in NCAA cross country championships
Big John is in the big show for the second straight year.
This time, Terre Haute's own John Mascari, an Indiana State sophomore, has his sights on an All-American finish Saturday on the course he grew up racing as a prep standout at Terre Haute North.
Mascari was 60th in the NCAA championships as a freshman at Louisville, and after last week's Great Lakes Region victory, he is confident he can crack the top 40 at LaVern Gibson Championship Course in front of hometown fans. - More Indiana State University Headlines

Cornish Parish Churches
Parish Church of:
St Piran in the Sands - The present church is the third which has been erected in this parish,; the earliest was the church or 'oratory' of St Piran, an early British saint, who came from Ireland in a mission to Cornwall; this building from its structural peculiarities has been considered by competent authorities to date from the 6th century and is supposed to have been erected over the tomb of St Piran, and a headless skeleton conjectured to be that of the saint was found buried beneath the altar, when the oratory was first discovered and cleared from sand in 1835; its external dimensions were found to be, length 29 feet, breadth 16 1/2 feet, eight of gables, 19 feet; the masonry was of the rudest kind, china clay being substituted for lime, the entrance door was at the south side, with a semi circular arch ornamented with a leopard's head carved on the key-stone and a human head on each side at the spring of the arch; these together with the corbels are now in Truro museum; it is supposed that this oratory was first overwhelmed with sand in the 9th century, when another church was erected on the further side of a stream which kept back the shifting sands; this was rebuilt in 1420, in a style of some magnificence, and was safe from the encroachments of the sand for more than a century; the course of the stream having been turned and its waters drawn off by the working of mines, the sand encroached still further and in 1803, it was resolved, after some discussion, to remove and rebuild the church; accordingly the tower, windows, arches, pillars and porch were removed to a part of the parish called Lambourne, two miles distant where now stands the present church of St. Piran, a cruciform building of stone in the Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, nave, transepts, south porch and an embattled western tower with pinnacles containing three bells; in the north transept is a tablet of white marble and underneath is the following inscription-"The first stone of this parish church was laid in the year 1804, after two former ones had been successively overwhelmed with the sand of the desert in which they were imprudently built; "in 1879 the church was reopened by the Right Rev E W. Benson D.D. then Bishop of Truro and Archbishop of Canterbury, after having undergone restoration throughout: the galleries were removed, the church re-seated, the chancel raised and a carved oak pulpit and western screen constructed from the wood of the old benches; there are 400 sittings. On the site of the second church stands a tall , round headed cross 9 feet high and about 2 feet wide at the base. The register of baptisms dates from the year 1614, marriages 1603; burials 1653;, but the earlier portions consist of imperfect fragments

Portland Interior Designer's Top 10 Tips to Make Your Small Space Look BIGGER: part 2
Tuesday, April 6th, 2010
Are you selling a small home that is vacant? There is a bonus tip at the end of this article just for you!
Have you moved into a small home, either because you've downsized or it is what you felt was best for your budget? If it's feeling a little claustrophobic, it doesn't have to be that way. Click here to read Part 1: Top Ten Tips To Make Your Small Space Look BIGGER!
6. Paint Color Tricks of the Trade: Lighter and cool, soft colors like pale aqua, pale blue or pale green all tend to recede and help make a small room feel larger. Conversely, vibrant warm colors like red or orange, advance and feel closer to you, so opt for lighter, cooler colors. Painting adjacent rooms in the same color makes them feel visually more like they are part of the same room. This is especially effective if you have open entryways between the rooms.
7. Monochromatic Color Palette: A serene, monochromatic color palette will go a long way toward making a room feel larger. Highly contrasting color schemes and lots of pattern tend to make the room feel smaller. This doesn't mean you have to make everything beige! Not by a long shot! Look at these three rooms in shades of lavender, aqua and neutrals.
Besides a monochromatic color palette, the lavender room above also employs a see through coffee table and a minimum of furnishings. Notice there are no side tables. The floor to ceiling curtain panels make the most of the ceiling height and pull all the way back from the windows to expose the entire view.
Although I would like to see all the clutter off the floor, this small room is enhanced by the shades of aqua.
Notice that the single large painting makes the space feel big even though it just accommodates a loveseat and two smaller chairs. The side chair and coffee table are not bulky and have long legs, allowing you to see the floor. Notice also that the pattern on the rug is on the diagonal.
8. Move Away From the Wall: When furniture is all pushed back against the wall, it feels like they are lined up like prisoners in front of a firing squad. Whenever possible, create furniture groupings that are away from the walls and that leave room to walk around them. Keep natural traffic patterns clear and avoid placing the back of a sofa toward the entry. It feels like a barrier to entry and immediately psychologically shrinks the room. In super tiny rooms, you may not be able to group furniture away from the wall, but might be able to angle a loveseat in a corner. This is another great trick to making a room feel a little bigger by directing the eye along the diagonal, which is the longest line in a room.
9. Light Expands Space: A well lit room always feels bigger. Maybe it's because you can actually see the whole room! Provide lighting in all 4 corners. To preserve precious floor space, consider using track lighting, wall sconces or table lamps instead of floor lamps. Accent lamps pointing upwards and torchiere style lamps wash the ceiling with light and make the most of the volume of the room.
10. Stealthy Secret Storage: Clutter is the nemesis of a small room. But you do have "stuff" and need to keep it somewhere! Choose closed storage over open front storage to keep a room serene. A book case with doors will hide paperbacks & other less attractive belongings. Think floor to ceiling and wall to wall when building in storage units. The long lines don't break up the room and give you maximum storage space. Find secret spaces like a storage ottoman to keep extra items. Entertainment units that hide all of your dvd's, cords and audio-visual equipment are a blessing to the small room.
Bonus Tip!! Selling a Small Vacant Home: If you are selling and your property is small and presently vacant, this tip is just for you. PUT FURNITURE IN THE HOUSE!! It is absolutely true that a tiny room will look bigger when furnished than it does empty. If you are looking at the small rooms and worried that they will look crowded with furniture — potential buyers will be worrying about the same thing. A professional home stager — ME of course — will use all of the above tips to furnish your property so buyers will see that it can look beautiful and that furniture fits with room to spare.
For more help with any of these tips for making your small space look and feel bigger, call me today to set up an in home consultation. You'll be on your way to getting the Look of Large! 503.816.4394
