Thread: Seamus Crew + Love the Fluff
Seamus Crew + Love the Fluff
Hello, first post but I'm hooked on this game and the world of Malifaux. Funny I'm a Warhammer 40k guy then got into Warmachine and here I am now. I first purchased all the books and I'm currently hooked on reading all the fluff! Im on book 2 know (Rising Powers) and I have never been captured by such a world as Malifaux. So now that I'm obsessed with game I went out and bought a Neverborn Crew (Zoraida) and my Seamus Crew, here is what I currently have. Any Ideas and tactics, Models that would help me would be great. Trying to keep a theme going with the fluff, I'm more about the fun and keeping with Character. Congrats to the creators of Malifaux.

I highly recommend so dead doxy's once they are released as they look pretty powerful on paper.
Has some great info and tips for new players. Best place to start.
Some personal advice I would add is try not to do everything at once. Use the same models a few times each to try and get used to them and them maybe branch out and slowly try new stuff.
I would start simple with 25ss games take Seamus+totem, sybelle, a few rotten belles. Upgrade to 35ss after a few games and add new units. Add molly and the avatar last as they are pretty complex.

Seamus' crew generally lacks a lot of hitting power, so you might want to look at the Dead Rider as well (he works great with the Grave Spirit).
Lets see... I don't know how much $$ you're working with, but...
You are probably going to want Nicodem's Box Set (mostly for the Punk Zombies), possibly 2 packs of Canine Remains as well. This'll also set you up for the other rezzer masters. There's an old-school trick involving putting a Belle together with 2 dogs and/or a Punk Zombie. It's the ol' pull and stab.
A nice gimicky list that can actually do well involves a Nurse, McTavish, and Sue (utilizes Nurse's buffs w/ Shrug Off and Manifesting the Avatar) along with 2 Belles to keep your Nurse moving.
Von Schill, Dead Rider, and Grave Spirit are generally awesome Rezzer models you'll use a lot.

Welcome to Resser's. I'd agree with almost everything said on here about models to buy. I'd also recommend one more, you want another Resser master available to you. I'm not saying that because Seamus cannot win, he certainly can, and he is really up there for my favorite master in a fluff sense, but because his effectiveness drops exponentially if your opponent isn't using a significant amount of living models. You will want an option to use something different if you local meta get flooded by players using mostly non-living models, as most of the game is currently. Having the option will help make Seamus more fun in the long term, as you can break him out when effective, and put him away when things that don't get scared come around.
Here's -the thing- with Seamus. You have speed 6 belles. That means you have speed 6", 2" Melee range models that can pull other models close to them. In other words, in Seamus Lists, you must focus on using your Belles as part objective runner part objective denier--that combination is the only thing that Seamus really brings to the table (aSeamus is a good melee beat-stick, though).
On crew composition, beware the tendency to Belle Spam. Sybelle + 3 Belles isn't a terrible thing in itself (I can't tell you how many times I've had Sybelle dive for an objective my opponent thought was safe and call a belle to claim it), but you need to spend those other 11-13ss on models that kill stuff.
Seamus (+Molly) allows for one of the few non-card-intensive ways for us to claim objectives in the center of the board activation 1.
When doing "A Line in the Sand" Belles can go from objective counter to objective counter easily.
Note that Belles under Seamus, even with Seamus and Molly, are not our best objective runner-Night Terrors are. You take Belles with Seamus because Lure can somehow deny your opponent a strategy and/or pull his models off of objectives you couldn't otherwise get. Otherwise, you take Night Terrors/The Drowned with McM or maybe Nico. Notably, I would almost never use Belles for Plant/Destroy Evidence.
For purposes of getting familiar with Seamus, staying mostly in theme, and getting used to the game, I'd recommend the following as a very general all-comer's list (note that all-comer's lists always hit a glass ceiling):
Ressurectionists Crew - 35 - Scrap
Seamus, The Mad-Hatter -- 6 Pool
+ Seamus, Avatar of Dread [2ss]
Von Schill [10ss]
Grave Spirit [1ss]
- Madame Sybelle [6ss]
- Rotten Belles [4ss]
- Rotten Belles [4ss]
- Rotten Belles [4ss]

SoulG, I would very much dispute that Seamus is a good Melee beat stick, he really isn't. What he is good at is control. He is the best the ressers have in the control arena, given the right circumstances, he can totally shut down an opponents crew, especially if the models around you are not immune to morale duels. This won't happen very often, but it is something in his bag of tricks
In an ideal world you want to manifest Seamus in the middle of a cluster of enemy models, if you aren't facing something that will make Seamus miserable for dropping his WP, succumb to Darkness, and then use all your remaining 1 actions to use Bellowing of the Big Bastard. It's a 4" pulse that requires all models to take a 13 Morale duel. You want to do this because you want cards out of their hand, you want to force as many potential failures as you possibly can before a model gets a chance to activate in Seamus' Anathema aura. Everyone that fails, awesome, but it's equally good if you force them to get rid of cards from their hand, making it more likely they will fail when it comes to the harder WP duel from Terrifying. Also keep in mind Bellow is not a Terrifying duel, it is simply a morale duel, which is huge because it will affect non-living models. Undead, Spirits, and Constructs are the only models, I believe, that currently are immune to moral duels. This is huge because it will affect things like Nightmares and Soulless models as they are just non-living, and thus immune to Terrifying, they will still have to test for bellow.
The other advantage of Bellow has over a straight melee strike is that it has the potential to generate more strikes than one. Every model that fails will be attempting to beeline it away from Seamus as fast as their little legs will carry them, as soon as they reach the edge of Seamus' Melee range (3") he can make a disengaging strike on them... and remember aSeamus is Wicked. That means you will be doing dmg to them in addition to holding them in range of your Terrifying. Also remember that as they have failed a morale duel, and are falling back, so they get a negative twist to all their duels, making it more likely Seamus will hit them, and not have to cheat as often to make certain of it, or can take advantage of lower cards in his hand to spark triggers that either slow, paralyze, or trigger additional morale checks.
Properly set up and positioned, which is difficult to do, Seamus can totally obviate for the remainder of the game all models in his melee range. However, that being said, take one piece of advice to heart.
Never Manifest In Range of The Opponent's Beatstick.
The reason being that aSeamus is extremely Squishy. Even with Armor 2 Seamus' Def is only 3, and all the opponent has to do is pass one check, with his best melee model, to often put Seamus down for the count. Make certain when you start the game that you have a decent SS pool for Seamus, because he will need them.
Thanks for all the comments guys, I was going to buy some Night Terrors but Heard that the Belles were that much better? Is Von Schill that good with Seamus?

Von schill is awesome sauce. He's a death dealer with one of the best weapons ranges in the game. He has rocket boots, can't be held down in melee due to his rocket boots (augmented jump) he has nimble giving him an ap to use specifically 2 move every turn. Some excellent triggers that don't require a crow, and the best armor in the game. Did I mention his knife ignores armor.

Children's literature is a fun and exciting literature niche. There are just so many books and short stories that can be enjoyed that it could fill any person's waking hours. What if there was a way that you were able to combine a passion and love for children's literature with a full time career? There is.
A career in children's literature is not impossible. In fact, it can be quite easy. All a children's literature lover would have to do is pursue a degree in a number of chosen fields and the career in children's literature will follow. People have often found successful careers by pursuing some of the following college degrees.
Children's Literature Degree. There is a whole college degree devoted to the various children's literature out there. This can include classics, modern, fantasy/sci-fi, poetry and young adult. A degree in children's literature can lead to careers as a children's librarian, children's book expert, children's book publicist as well as an expert book reviewer with a focus on children's literature. A children's literature degree combined with an English degree can even be used to allow people to write and publish their own children's books.
Library Management Degree. A library management degree will allow the degree holder to pursue a degree as a librarian or master librarian. Children's librarians are responsible for choosing books for the children's section, hosting children's reading programs and even holding community reading events.
While there are many degrees that will lead you to a career in children's literature there are few colleges that focus on this type of degree. By using sites like elearners.com you will be able to find a college that fits your needs whether it is online or a physical college location.
Remember even if you are not able to pursue a career right away in this field you will be able to find hundreds of children's books that you never knew about and can share with your children!

TONYA BURNETT has rejuvenated the foodservice department at ST. RITA'S MEDICAL CENTER by:
• BUILDING a strong team environment by mentoring employees and putting others first
• IMPLEMENTING a room service program for patient dining, which has increased patient satisfaction, allowed the addition of local and seasonal menu favorites and reduced the amount of trays per patient day
• STARTING a productivity initiative that resulted in the elimination of 10 FTEs, and reducing in-house catering services to cut costs to the hospital
• BUILDING a new kitchen and café and increasing revenue and meal transactions
Tonya Burnett, director of nutrition services for 434-bed St. Rita's Medical Center in Lima, Ohio, is described as "very people focused," by Chris Provaznik, vice president of operations. "She is very caring about her staff and our patients." It's that caring attitude that has enabled Burnett to expand services while decreasing costs and employee hours, Provaznik says.
"Tonya is focused on doing the right thing for her employees," Provaznik says. "She is a strong advocate for them. She has given her time to mentor employees who have then been promoted and gotten higher paying jobs. Her employee group, for the most part in the hospital system, is the lowest-paid group, and Tonya works with HR to provide financial counseling for them.
"It's a team that pitches in. Last week we had 40 more patients than we did beds, and everyone was in the kitchen helping," Provaznik adds. "Two of the supervisors were plating food."
This team attitude is on display during the hospital's annual United Way campaign. Nutrition Services has consistently been one of the highest contributing departments. The department was honored last year for its efforts with the 2009 Campaign Chairman's Award. Always the team player, Burnett is quick to deflect personal praise. "All the things we have accomplished and worked on at St. Rita's Medical Center are because of great teamwork and effort on everyone's part," she says. "It is not just me. My team is outstanding."
Patient service: One of the things the team was able to accomplish was switching to room service for patient dining in February 2010. "We were doing retherm," Burnett says. "Our primary reason [to switch] was to increase patient satisfaction. We also needed to move away from [the old] system because it limited the types of foods we could serve."
Patients can order meals between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. by dialing a call center to place their orders. The ticket is printed on the production line where the food is prepared to order. Finished trays are put in carts, which are designated by zone to break up delivery. A timer is started when the first tray is put in the cart. After 15 minutes a porter takes the cart to an ambassador on the patient floor. The ambassador delivers trays to the patients. Burnett says the average delivery time for a tray is less than 30 minutes.
Since the switch to room service, patient satisfaction has increased. Press Ganey scores for the department's overall meals are now in the 70th percentile for all of Press Ganey. Before the switch to room service, the department's overall Press Ganey scores were in the 39th percentile. For facilities the same size as St. Rita's, the department is in the 91st percentile. The department is in the 95th percentile for facilities its size for quality of food.
"We changed the menus pretty extensively when we went to room service," Burnett says. Burnett's team worked with a room service consultant, Room Service Technologies, to create new menus. "We put together what we thought might be menu options from our old menus and what was popular," she says. "They shared with us things that other facilities had used."
Menu changes: The menus also were changed organizationally. Previously all items were offered à la carte. Now the items are bundled to create meals. For example pork roast is offered with sweet potatoes and green beans. Burnett says most patients order the meal as it is combined on the menu, but she said patients could make substitutions.
After the menu was created, Burnett says a personal experience led her to revamp the menu further. "We have a lot of repeat patients, and they get familiar with the menu and wanted more variety," she says. "We have some units that have a longer length of stay, so we found that patients were getting a little bit tired of the menu. I had a personal experience when my father-in-law was in the hospital. As I was trying to help him order, it was a big eye-opener. This was very early on in our room service process, and I realized that there weren't really a lot of local area comfort foods. Lima is a large city, but our surrounding area is very rural and there are a lot of farming communities. Things like chicken and noodles over mashed potatoes and beef and noodles are very popular around here, especially with older people." To incorporate some of these local favorites, a weekly specials menu was added to the base menu. The specials menu runs on a four-week cycle. Each week's specials menu has three entrée selections and an entrée salad.
Seasonal items also are added to the specials menu. During the winter months, pumpkin pie and heartier soups were menued. Lighter items are being offered for spring.
Another result of room service is reducing the number of trays per patient day. Before room service, the department was serving 3.85 patient trays per day. With room service, that number is 3.02 because late, duplicate and extra trays have all but been eliminated.
Efficiency: During the last quarter of 2010, Burnett and her team embarked on a productivity initiative. "There are very high expectations to operate very efficiently in all of our areas," Provaznik says. "We got some information that said we were a little bit on the high side [of labor hours to meals]. Tonya and her team went through all the processes and, during eight to 10 weeks' time, evaluated every process to figure out how we could become more efficient. I know it wasn't easy."
Burnett was able to cut 10.225 FTEs by rearranging workers' hours. Only one person was let go because that position was eliminated. "We had increased our FTEs when we went to room service," Burnett says. "We took out as many, if not more, FTEs than we added in with room service. We did it by shaving hours here and there. We have employees who want to pick up as many hours as possible, so even if their position was shaved they will pick up hours someplace else so they don't really notice a change in hours. Now, we are exceeding our productivity target."
Part of being efficient meant taking a look at in-house catering. "We take a little different philosophy [than other directors]," Burnett says. "A lot of organizations view catering as an opportunity for revenue or an increase in meals. The majority of the revenue that you are generating for in-house catering is internal and it's just a paper transfer within one department to another. There is really no cash involved with it. We have taken the approach that we want to decrease in-house catering as much as possible. If we're going to get real money, we'll do whatever. Catering is very labor intensive, so with our productivity initiative we've tried to cut back. We don't do any special catering to departments for meetings. The employees have learned that if they are having a meeting during lunch they go down to the café, get lunch and take it with them. Sometimes we give meal tickets to come to the café. Yes, there is a cost with that, but then you don't have the labor cost and the waste because they are only taking what they want."
Another efficiency, and employee benefit, has been expanding the department's payroll deduction program to operations outside of foodservice. Employees can use the payment system at a freestanding Starbucks location, Walgreens and a gift shop, which are in the lobby. The department has no connection with these operations, but it has offered the payroll deduction program to benefit employees.
Fresh start: In 2007, the foodservice department moved into a new kitchen and café in a newly built nine-story patient tower. Burnett was at the helm of the design project, which included the new High Street Café. "Tonya had the opportunity to design from scratch
a brand new kitchen and café," Provaznik says. "That took a tremendous amount of work, creativity and research. The café is a great place to escape. Some of the members of the chamber of commerce and the mayor use our café conference rooms when they have meetings here."
The High Street Café has a made-to-order grill area, a pizza and deli area, display cooking, comfort foods, a salad bar, soup, grab and go, desserts and a self-serve bar that changes daily.
The department is implementing a wellness initiative in the café as well. Nutritional information will be posted for menu items, with a stoplight feature designating which items are better for you. Green denotes healthy, while red means not so good for you. In addition, the department is adjusting recipes and portion sizes for unhealthy, but popular, items such as pizza. Instead of cutting a pizza into six slices, the pie is now being sliced into eight.
Since moving into the new café, revenue and meal transactions have increased. In 2010, the café did more than 610,000 transactions, up from 513,000 prior to the move. The café also does more than $2.2 million in revenue each year, up from $1.5 million before the move.

Feb .16 I made some changes to this proposal based on the feedback from the last Nuts and Bolts meeting. One way to get simple decisions answered is a decision board on a online forum. The modified consensus proposal is for ideas and proposals that people have concerns with or major organizational decisions. Chris
Decision Boards (and Committee Decisions) by Tree Bressen
Not every decision needs the attention of your whole group. Some can be made by one person in charge of an area. Some can be made by a committee. And some could be made, if they aren't yet, via a "Decision Board." Here's an example of how it might work. Let's say you have a parking team that wants to make some changes to how and where guests park when visiting the community. The team posts their proposed changes on a central bulletin board, for a prescribed period of time, say, two weeks.
During that period, people wander by and check off their names in one of three columns: •
I'm ok with this.
I have minor questions or concerns, which i will communicate to the person or committee who wrote the proposal.
I think this should go to a meeting because I am concerned with...
At the end of the period, the team reviews the responses, and if no major concerns have been received and the proposal hasn't attracted sufficient controversy to require a whole group meeting, then the proposal becomes official operating procedure.
Options to consider when setting up a Decision Board include: 1. How long is the review period? 2. Do proposals go out via email in addition to a central physical posting? 3. How many requests does it take to move something to meeting? 4. How can decisions made via Decision Board be revisited? 5. What about the people who have not checked off their name in any column? Is it their responsibility to give input, or someone else's responsibility to gain their approval?
Nuts and Bolts Modified Consensus Decision Making Proposal
1) State the idea or issue (by the person who created it, preferably not the facilitator) Why are we talking about this? Why does it matter? History of the idea (including previous meetings) Goal for this item at this particular meeting (report, decision, committee or gather input, etc.)
2) Open Discussion: Clarify the idea or issue The facilitator asks each person to speak to the idea or issue to create a written proposal or plan of action. ( Go-Around or Staking) Gather ideas. Pros and Cons. Note taker or facilitator writes them on a board for all to see.
3) Facilitator asks for or writes a proposal or plan of action incorporating all viewpoints.
4) Direction of Current Item. Options: (Straw Poll or Raising hands)
A) Decide Now
B) Post written proposal on TM Website. It will be decided at the following meeting.
C) Start with a plan of action, series of meetings, committee or individual work in between. (Report Backs ) Outside experts invited to add perspective before the proposal is decided on. Sub Committee writes proposal and presents it to Nuts and
Bolts Group for a group decision.
5) Consensus Discussion about Proposal: The facilitator ask people to speak to the written proposal. ( Go-Around or Staking)
First round, Clarifying Questions or Friendly amendments: Questions of understanding only—short and sweet. Would you participate?
Second round ( if needed) Deeper questions: Bring out diversity of ideas, concerns, and perspectives. Deal first with value concerns or big picture, before getting into details. Note agreements and disagreements on general direction and the underlying reasons for them— discuss those underlying reasons and needs. Looking for potential stand asides or blocks.
Facilitator Synthesizes or Modifies Proposal as needed on a written board. Note agreements or disagreements. Generate ideas to address and resolve concerns. Evaluate potential solutions. Synthesize proposed ideas/solutions or come up with new ideas in the supportive atmosphere of the meeting.
6) Call for Consensus: Facilitator Re-states proposal clearly. Ask: "Are there any remaining unresolved concerns?" Official decision point: Do you Agree, Stand Aside or Block? Check to see if all parties genuinely consent. Ask everyone to show visual (hand waving) or oral agreement.
Agree, Sense of Unity. No remaining unresolved concerns.
Stand Aside "I don't like this proposal because ...... But I am willing to let the group proceed."
A "stand aside" may be registered by a group member who has a "serious personal disagreement" with a proposal, but is willing to let the motion pass. Although stand asides do not halt a motion, it is often
regarded as a strong "nay vote" and the concerns of group members
standing aside are usually addressed by modifications to the proposal.
Stand asides may also be registered by users who feel they are
incapable of adequately understanding or participating in the proposal.
Block " I have a firm conviction that this proposal does not serve the interests of the whole organization."
Blocks are generally considered to be an extreme measure, only used when a member feels a proposal "endanger[s] the organization or its participants, or violate[s] the mission of the organization" (i.e., a
principled objection). A group member who
opposing a proposal must work with its proponents to find a solution
that will work for everyone.
Consensus-Minus One." means is that it takes more than one dissenting members to block consensus. One voice at odds with the rest is considered a workable way to go forward, but more than one is a sign that the decision should be re-thought.
When two people block the proposal, it is laid down and we have to start over or the proposal is sent back to committee that created it.
Voting: We have had 2 meetings without resolution, after a written proposal is created, written and discussed. Super Majority Vote: 80%
7. Suggest having note taker read back decision to the group. Record: decision, tasks, time line, implementation
looks good Chris and Alex.
I have a few notes on things that were hard for me to read/understand.
#5 just make it say "when to use a consensus decision or voting." in intro line.
#7 can we just make this simpler to understand? like "if proposal is not passed yet" and a "create sub committee " etc....
#6 " block" can we make this firmer please? I thought the idea of a block was that it was for VERY strong objections, even when you might be ready to leave the group over etc.
when one person blocks we said for big issues we might honor it for one month. two people we drop it or send it to a committee or start again.
I did think we were going to go to the meeting with this proposal filled in though and then work on anything that we thought needed work then and then try to agree on it. so can we have some # of meetings filled in etc.?

May 4 "Sewstainability" workshop
On Saturday, May 4 Susan Clare will discuss and demonstrate crafting with repurposed fabrics from 2:00 to 3:30 p.m. in the Keys Community Room, Lower Level of The Milton Public Library, located at 476 Canton Avenue in Milton. "Sewstainability" will highlight saving money, supporting sustainability, and making attractive and useful fabric items for personal use and as gifts. Expect to see examples of clever repurposing.

Breakfast cereals advertise that they're packed with vitamins and minerals. Sports drinks claim they can rev up your flagging energy with a jolt of vitamins or minerals (sorry, but even powerful vitamins and minerals can't act that fast!). You know vitamins and minerals are good for you. But which ones does your body really need? And is it possible to get too much of a good thing?
Vitamins and minerals make people's bodies work properly. Although you get vitamins and minerals from the foods you eat every day, some foods have more vitamins and minerals than others.
Vitamins fall into two categories: fat soluble and water soluble. The fat-soluble vitamins — A, D, E, and K — dissolve in fat and can be stored in your body. The water-soluble vitamins — C and the B-complex vitamins (such as vitamins B6, B12, niacin, riboflavin, and folate) — need to dissolve in water before your body can absorb them. Because of this, your body can't store these vitamins. Any vitamin C or B that your body doesn't use as it passes through your system is lost (mostly when you pee). So you need a fresh supply of these vitamins every day.
Whereas vitamins are organic substances (made by plants or animals), minerals are inorganic elements that come from the soil and water and are absorbed by plants or eaten by animals. Your body needs larger amounts of some minerals, such as calcium, to grow and stay healthy. Other minerals like chromium, copper, iodine, iron, selenium, and zinc are called trace minerals because you only need very small amounts of them each day.
Vitamins and minerals boost the immune system, support normal growth and development, and help cells and organs do their jobs. For example, you've probably heard that carrots are good for your eyes. It's true! Carrots are full of substances called carotenoids that your body converts into vitamin A, which helps prevent eye problems.
Another vitamin, vitamin K, helps blood to clot (so cuts and scrapes stop bleeding quickly). You'll find vitamin K in green leafy vegetables, broccoli, and soybeans. And to have strong bones, you need to eat foods such as milk, yogurt, and green leafy vegetables, which are rich in the mineral calcium.
People go through a lot of physical changes — including growth and puberty — during their teenage years. Eating right during this time is especially important because the body needs a variety of vitamins and minerals to grow, develop, and stay healthy.
Eating a variety of foods is the best way to get all the vitamins and minerals you need each day, as well as the right balance of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and calories. Whole or unprocessed foods — like fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy products, lean meats, fish, and poultry — are the best choices for providing the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy and grow properly.
It's OK to eat foods like potato chips and cookies once in a while, but you don't want to overdo high-calorie foods like these that offer little nutritionally.
To choose healthy foods, check food labels and pick items that are high in vitamins and minerals. For example, if you're choosing beverages, you'll find that a glass of milk is a good source of vitamin D and the minerals calcium, phosphorous, and potassium. A glass of soda, on the other hand, offers very few vitamins or minerals — if any.
You can also satisfy your taste buds without sacrificing nutrition while eating out: Vegetable pizzas or fajitas, sandwiches with lean cuts of meat, fresh salads, and baked potatoes are just a few delicious, nutritious choices.
If you're a vegetarian, you'll need to plan carefully for a diet that offers the vitamins and minerals found primarily in meats. The best sources for the minerals zinc and iron are meats, fish, and poultry. However, you can get zinc and iron in dried beans, seeds, nuts, and leafy green vegetables like kale.
Vitamin B12, which is important for manufacturing red blood cells, is not found in plant foods. If you don't eat meat, you can find vitamin B12 in eggs, milk and other dairy foods, and fortified breakfast cereals. Vegans (vegetarians who eat no animal products at all, including dairy products) may need to take vitamin supplements. If you're thinking about becoming a vegetarian, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian about how to plan a healthy, balanced diet.
Lots of teens wonder if they should take vitamin or mineral supplements. If your diet includes a wide variety of foods, including whole-grain products, fresh fruits and vegetables, dairy products, nuts, seeds, eggs, and meats, then you are probably getting the vitamins and minerals your body needs.
But if you're skipping meals, dieting, or if you're concerned that you're not eating enough items from a particular category, such as vegetables or dairy products, then talk to your doctor or to a registered dietitian. These professionals can help you create an eating plan that includes the nutrients your body needs.
Check with your doctor before taking vitamin or mineral supplements. Some people think that if something is good for you, then the more you take in, the healthier you'll be. But that's not necessarily true when it comes to vitamins and minerals. For example, fat-soluble vitamins or minerals, which the body stores and excretes more slowly, can build up in your system to levels where they could cause problems.
If you do take supplements, you should be careful not to get more than 100% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for a particular vitamin or mineral. The RDA is calculated to provide 100% of the dietary needs for 98.6% of the population. Chances are that's all you need.
There are hundreds of supplements on the market and of course their manufacturers want you to purchase them. Beware of unproven claims about the benefits of taking more than recommended amounts of any vitamin or mineral. A healthy teen usually doesn't need supplements if he or she is eating a well-rounded diet.
Your best bet for getting the vitamins and minerals you need is to eat a wide variety of healthy foods and skip the vitamin pills, drinks, and other supplements. You'll feel better overall and won't run the risk of overdoing your vitamin and mineral intake.

Home Front Jobs: Construction of landing barges at Gazes of Kingston, 1943
© Kingston Museum and Heritage Service 2006
Many of the men we see in this picture had a reserved occupation. This meant they were skilled in a job (boat building here) and did not have to join the armed services. As well as working in their day job they would quite often be expected to work in the Civil Defence at night.
Q. Why was it important to have skilled workmen in a reserved occupation?
A. To produce military equipment and vehicles. In this case they were making landing barges, some of which were used on D-Day.

Ear stapling for weight loss: Does it work?
I'm considering having my ears stapled to help me lose weight. Does this work?
from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
Ear stapling for weight loss isn't likely to work — and it poses a serious risk of infection.
Ear stapling is based loosely on the principles of acupuncture, which involves stimulating certain points with fine needles. With acupuncture of the ear, the needles are typically left in place for only a short time.
Proponents of ear stapling claim that the staples stimulate a pressure point that controls appetite, leading to weight loss. Small surgical staples are placed into the inner cartilage of each ear. The staples can be left in place for several weeks or even months.
Although some studies suggest that acupuncture can reduce appetite, ear stapling hasn't been proved effective for weight loss. And the largely unregulated practice of ear stapling can be dangerous if done in unsanitary conditions or by an untrained practitioner. In fact, puncturing ear cartilage poses a risk of serious infection and permanent disfigurement.
If you're overweight, don't depend on ear stapling for weight loss. Instead, discuss proven weight-loss strategies with your doctor.

It was presented on a plate where tastes and shades of color are combined. And it was part of a dinner that was more than just memorable.By: Marilyn Hagerty, Grand Forks Herald

I'd like to add to my comments below. Great race, NO follow through on awards though. After the race, the empty handed race director personally promised those waiting for awards they would be mailed in a few weeks. I've received nothing several months later. Phone calls and emails to Mr. Hartley (the race director) go unreturned. On one hand I feel selfish to complain, but I've never won my age group at a larger event like this, and I had trained hard and ran well. I guess it wouldn't rub me the wrong way either if the race director hadn't promised the awards in the mail in a few weeks. If he would have just said hey folks, we're broke, no awards, okay, I'm disappointed but understand. But to mislead those who competed is disrespectful.
2012 was much better than 2013. The 2013 shirts are 3/4 length sleeves (odd) and I'm still waiting on my age group award. The RD needs to get his act together and deliver on the awards he promised the runners who supported his race!
If you read the issues from the 2012 race below, they listened and fixed everything for 2013. The course was nice, but nothing spectacular. It was more hilly than I thought it would be from reading the 2012 comments. There were two big hills, which really means there are 4 big hills. The rest of the course was somewhat flat, although it seemed like you were always slightly up or down hill. I would do it again, but would probably prefer trying something new.
Out of 69 marathons that I have run including one in every state, this one ranks near the top. Late checkout at our host hotel meant so much to me. The Pepsi products at the end were great. My favorite marathons have had pizza also. The volunteers were friendly and the few spectators were nice. Music would add that special touch that could enhance the marathon. The shirt is one of my favorite marathon shirts. Mile markers were terrific. Thanks to all of you that had any part in making this marathon a special one.
I ran the 2013 race as my South Carolina race and I have no regrets. This is a smaller race (400 full; 800 half) in its second year. The expo was very modest in a hotel (Marriott) lobby but I was able to pick up some gel. There was also a race day packet pick-up. The race begins and ends at the Capitol building in downtown Columbia next door to the University of SC campus. It is a two loop marathon. I like that for a marathon so I know what to expect the second half. You do run right by the finish line which is always a little mentally taxing. In a race of this size the second half can be a little lonely but not too bad. I always saw a few folks ahead of me. I parked at the Lady St garage which was 2 blocks away and free! I got there 90 minutes early and could've arrived much later. There were plenty of Port-a-johns pre-race. 20 minutes before race time there were barely any lines. The course is quite hilly. More so than I realized. Lots of smaller hills and 2 or 3 significant ones which of course you must climb twice. Luckily I live in a hilly area or it would've done me in. The course is almost entirely a neighborhood course. We leave the downtown area quite quickly and then seem to weave from neighborhood to neighborhood. These are all pleasant if somewhat monotonous. There are plenty of water stops but they are unorganized and not all have sports drink. I never knew if a stop had sports drink or not and if they did was it first or second. I really believe that consistancy in how the aid stations are set up helps out late in a race when fatigue is an issue. Fan support was pretty sparse but about what you'd expect from a new race of this size. The post-race area thankfully has plenty of room. No big celebration but plenty of traditional post race food and drink. I really liked the long sleeve tech shirt and the medal. In 2013 we had a nice cool (high 30's) start and low 60's for the finish, so pretty ideal. I stayed outside of Columbia to save money but was still only 15 minutes away. The host hotel was walking distance (and hosted the expo).
I love this race. I'll go back every year. Columbia is a charming Southern town filled with friendly people. The course is nice. Not hard, not flat. Aid stations are stocked like at ultras with every flavor Gu and Chomps!
I traveled from Pennsylvania to run the half as a tune up race for Boston. I was really impressed. Columbia did everything right, especially for a second year race. The packet pickup was easy, and it was nice that they validated your parking ticket if you weren't staying at the host hotel. Expo is what you'd expect at a medium size race. There were local running store vendors there that had any last minute item you might need. The course has some hills, sure, but if you're getting ready for Boston, or any other marathon that's not pancake flat, the half is perfect! I ran my half marathon PR by a full minute. If I was a second or two from a BQ, I might look for a flatter course, but there are just as many downhills on the course, so if you run wisely it's not that bad. The course is pretty, and runs through some nice neighborhoods, but other than the water stop volunteers, there was virtually nobody on the course. Hopefully in the next few years Columbia realizes what a great event it has and comes out to support it. Each mile marker was clearly marked, which I know was an issue last year. I know this is a minor thing, but you know a race director is paying attention to detail when all the water stop volunteers are holding the cups on top of the palm of their hand, rather than around the top of the cup. The volunteers were extremely supportive and cheered everyone on as we went by. Plenty of gels were available at the water stops as well, they didn't skimp (unlike some other marathon in South Carolina). As a Yankee invader, I couldn't help but notice the finish line activities were centered around the confederate memorial and flagpole. The stars and bars were flapping in the wind over the racers as they met their families and got some post race grub. This is nothing that would keep me away from the race, but its something that I'm not used to seeing in my neck of the woods. The state capitol grounds made for a beautiful finish area. Lots of room to spread out and stretch on the grass. Post race food could be improved, but again, its a second year race, and from what I saw this year I'm sure it will only improve.
I thought this would be a great early spring marathon. The weather was terrific, high 30's at the start and 50's at the finish. The medal was one of the best I've seen. The shirt was unique, although I ordered a unisex size as instructed because of my late registration date, but was given a womens size. There was a shirt exchange in the morning, but it ended before I finished the marathon. Our biggest complaint was the lack of communication. The website stated more info would be available on parking, dropbags, restaurants, etc closer to the race, but was never updated. At the expo we received our shirts and numbers but no last minute instructions. When we asked about the start location, we received a course certification map, that didn't have any other streets or landmarks. There was a last minute email that when out on Thursday after we had left for South Carolina. I signed up for the email updates and that was the only email I recieved. The course ran through some beautiful residential neighborhoods but the residents didn't seem to know what was going on. The water stops and volunteers were great, but there didn't appear to be any other volunteers or spectators. Even when we ran right through the farmers market (twice), no one seemed to notice. The police were wonderful and needed because we crossed many major intersections. The hills were tough. I wouldn't have minded the hills if I had been more prepared. I saw on marathon guide that it was hilly but I could not find an elevation map on the website. The website used Map my Run to show the course which is hard to navigate with all of the ads and the elevation chart would not work for me. Be prepared for the hills, they were not that steep but they were long and the section at 11 and 24 miles were tough. It seemed like there could be more to showcase in the city of Columbia. It would have been nice to have ran on more of the USC campus, less neighborhoods and busy streets. Also, mark every mile with a mile marker! The organizers tried to move the mile markers for the second lap. On both laps some of the markers were in the wrong location.
Course was very nice with beautiful old neighborhoods. Water stations were well placed though Gatorade was hard to find. Wish more stations had it, particularly on second half. Hills. If you don't train on hills this race will put a hurtin' on ya. Don't drop the medal on your foot. It is a beast and awesome. Kiawah Island should take a lesson from this races medal. The biggest issue I had was communication. Nothing was put out from the race management until 3 days before race. The course map could only be viewed with MapMyRun and was not available in .pdf or .jpg formats.
This is a very well organized event. Pros: 1) The course was challenging and being a double loop, you know what you are in for on the 2nd lap. The hills are tough. 2) Nice shirt and medal. 3) Nice finish area with plenty of room. 4) Great fan support and well organized aid stations. Cons: 1) I could not find a hard copy course map at packet pickup. 2) The food selection at the finish was a little sparse, but okay.

The room included a small fridge, which was good as we could have some water or fruits in the room. Very polite and ready to assist you owners.

Its great! Why would you want a tiny touch screen phone? I have people fingers not baby fingers. Also everything else about the phone is fantastic. I can easily get 2 days of use out of it without charging and that was a huge selling point as I knew I would be at PAX where I would be using my phone a lot and not being near outlets for a full day. My iPhone and old Androids would never be able to get anywhere near that. Also the s-pen it comes with is actually really cool. People always complain about the new thing, use it then get back to me.

Real Beauty: What exactly does a Boogie Box class entail? What parts of the body will it work?
Dede Barbanti: Boogie Box (BBX) is a one-hour strength and cardio class that requires no equipment. Everything is done using the technique of applied-muscle resistance (AMR) and works every single part of your body: Arms, legs, back, shoulders, glutes, and most importantly, core. AMR is when you create tension in your muscles (which act as weights), while executing movements (which act as resistance). (Think about when someone tells you to "make a muscle"that tension that you feel is AMR.) By using applied muscle resistance and exaggerated, overemphasized movements that don't keep you confined in a repetitive lateral pattern, you are able to continually push your body further, avoid those dreaded plateaus, burn more calories, and sculpt lean muscle.
RB: What kind of fitness routines does it draw from?
DB: It is an innovative combination of sports-endurance drills, martial arts, hip hop dance, and plyometric movements all executed while using the technique of AMR.
RB: How long is the class, and how many calories can the average woman expect to burn?
DB: It's one hour (there's a short break at the half-hour mark). It has been university tested (twice) to burn up to 1100 calories an hour. Not to mention, the "after-burn" is great too. You will continue to burn calories up to 24 hours after a Boogie Box workout!
RB: What kind of fitness levels is it best for? Are there any types of women who should stray away from it?
DB: Anyone can do BBX! The class can be easily adapted for any fitness level. However, I do not recommend it for pregnant women or those with a history of multiple knee or shoulder surgeries.

Pond House Cafe
Online Reservations
My dining companion and I enjoyed our meals and the appetizers. The service was good
Love the Tuesdays specials. This months offering was good except for the meatloaf that was a bit dry and not especially seasoned well. It seemed to have been cooked earlier in the day. It tasted more left-over than fresh. As the main part of the entrée that was disappointing.
I met a women for a drink here. She had never been, however; enjoys outside restaurants/bars. She loved the pond with ducks swimming nearby, the atmosphere was great and service person gave us just enough attention and privacy. Amazing time!
Wonderful! We were seated in a cozy corner. This was great because we were all alone at first and the dining room was packed when we were done. Nice memory... P.s. the food was excellent..... MsPat
We thoroughly enjoyed our latest dining experience!!!!
Consistently good, creative menu, attentive service. Menu is on electronic notepads! Cool!
We usually love Pond HOuse. This time it was not up to par. We brought an out-of-town guest to enjoy its lovely atmosphere and food. One entrée ordered had steak tha t was literally too tough to eat. It had to be left. The salmon was over cooked. We still love it there and hope that the next time we go there it will be back to its original great food.
Our waiter said no substitutions the waiter at the next table took substitutions galore.
Lovely setting inside Elizabeth Park. International cuisine, competently prepared. Very liberal BYOB policy (just $5 corkage fee). Friendly, efficient service.
We loved The Tasty Tuesday menu, especially the meatloaf!!
Food was superb! Lighting a little bit too bright. Veggie burger came missing the requested havarti and lettuce. BYOB is an excellent and generous option.
This was our first lunch at the Pond House and it was the perfect location for an early Fall day as it overlooks the pond at Elizabeth Park, where I used to ice skate 50 years ago. We were greeted warmly and shown right to a table. The dining room is a little crowded but nicely appointed with large windows. Our waittress was friendly and helpful. Two of the folks at our table had corn chowder which they very much enjoyed and the entrees were also fine. Three of us had the individual sized pizza which surrounded a small Caesar salad and one had the clams linguini. We were too full for dessert but I suspect those were equally as good as the meals.
The Pond House is such a gem. The food is very good, healthy, interesting, well prepared. Staff is so nice! Just a beautiful place to relax and enjoy oneself.
Great atmosphere. Good food. Small and quaint. Good service. Totally relaxing. Will go there once a month!
We had a gathering of coworkers that had gone in different paths. We dined on the outdoor patio among beautiful flowers over looking a pond with a fountain surrounded by beautiful gardens. The company, food and scenary all made for a wonderful time.
Of course the setting for The Pond House is beautiful, in Elizabeth Park. The weather was perfect for eating out under the canopy. The tables are separated enough that there is privacy for your own table, and the noise level is kept to a minimum. The restaurant is very clean, and has a soothing atmosphere. It is not a rush in and grab a sandwich on your half-hour lunch kind of place. The staff were all pleasant. The food was excellent, and delivery was beautiful. Preparation did not take long either. The menu has a variety of choices to appeal to most people, including vegetarian meals. The servings are very healthy sizes.
Our first visit there was uneventful. This time they weren't out of anything and the meal was quite enjoyable. I had the diver scallops and my wife had a chicken dish with mashed plantains.
I've been here a number of times and the food is wonderful each and every time. This was the first time I had eaten at Pond House Cafe for their Tasty Tuesday menu, which was both delicious and relatively equitable. The seasonal drinks are always phenomenal. Decor is cute. Wonderful place for brunch on a weekend as well. My favorite place in Hartford.
Nice for entertaining out of town guests. Pleasant surroundings. Service was friendly and food was very good.
great destination place for casual or romantic dining. The park and pond setting is unique and adds to the ambiance. Food is outstanding.
We are always surprised by how much we enjoy the Pond House. I say that because we have never been disappointed with any part of the meal. The issue is with it being 20 minutes away we tend to not think of it on a regular basis for dining. Our server on Friday night was great and her recommendations were perfect.
I always enjoy my lunch at the Pond House in WeHa! The food is delicious and the ambiance is exquisite! Always a go to for special occasions with my family,
I just Love this place !!! Everything is prepared so nicely + so flavorful - It seems to be hard to find a restaurant that actually puts an effort into preparing the food - The Corned Beef Reuben is the best -not an overwhelming amount of meat just very flavorful !! The Macaroni + Cheese was better than mine!!! I've never said that before!!!! The soups + desserts are all homemade + Just Delicious!!! I would highly recommend this place to anyone!!!
Dined with 4 others , we all had something different & delicious--pork, portobella mushrooms, crabcakes, pasta, veggie burger. Our server was very knowledgeable about the specials & the wines. Outside decorations for Halloween were great!
Treated my two friends to a birthday lunch (they're born on the same day!) Loved the food, loved the service. A happy time was had by all. Our "go to" restaurant for any special day in any season!
food, service and outside seating made for a pleasant and relaxing fall lunch!
The Pond House is located in a cozy setting in a beautiful park. The salmon burger I ordered for lunch was well prepared and tasty and came to the table hot off the grill. The accompanying salad and coleslaw were fresh and good, but not distinctive. The outdoor patio looked so inviting, but it was much too cool to eat there. I'll definitely go back again, especially when the weather is warmer.
The food was good, creative takes on common dishes. The service was attentive enough and friendly. Eclectic group of people there.
The food is good and given in good quantities, not too much nor too little. Not necessarily a place for children but very accommodating to them especially toddlers (have high chairs!) who like high end food. Had a salmon dish for brunch and the salmon was not the high quality expected for such a place. However, returned for dinner and had the duck. It was cooked perfectly!!!
I've been several times and each time really enjoyed myself. I love Elizabeth Park and alway sit outside overlooking the pond if it's warm enough. I just went to the other day and the view with the fall leaves was perfect. They also went to great lengths with the halloween decorating. The food is always good with healthy, exciting options. My only note would be to say it's slightly on the pricey side (not bad, by any means) but maybe leave the kids at home. Mine are too old for kid meals but too young to appreciate crab cakes and couscous. Definitely the perfect place for a date or friend lunch. I highly recommend it.
I am never disappointed with the cuisine at thePond HouseCafe. It's especially nice they have their liquor license now, although I think you can still byob. Super-dependable, and best of all, easy to park. Views are gorgeous, and they certainly got into the Halloween scene - decorated inside and out. Very fun. And delicious!
We both got sandwiches. The turkey sandwich was recommended because they make the turkey in-house My husband really liked it and said it was special. I got the reuben which I really loved. The turkey sandwich was grilled which was nice because we chose to eat outside. It was in the 50's and decided to eat outside. We were told that there were heaters but they were old and on the ceiling of the porch and only blew to one area. Another group said they were cold too. The coffee was excellent. The food came out fast. Our waiter, a young man from Poland was uber professional. We will definitely go back. Note: Last time there , got a taco salad. Mistake! They definitely don't do taco salads well there.
We traveled from Boston to meet family and were not disappointed.
My husband and my other daughter came up from NJ to surprise my youngest daughter for her birthday. It was Nov. 3rd, and she goes to Brandies University and her boyfriend drove her to your place as a surprise.. We had a large table and the food was outstanding, I especially loved the Apple Sangria! I have to ask though we had these potatoes that the waitress said they were from a outside garden.. they were delicious and I would love to know what type they were. I did see someone digging them up outside strange shapes in white and red.. Besides that we had a fabulous time, and would def. visit again! Loved the Halloween decor as well. Next time we are praying it is not so cold and windy.
My friend and I went to use a group on we had for dinner. It was really quiet and dimly lit, which was cozy and gave off a romantic vibe. Our waitress was quick in serving our food. She was not overly friendly, but pleasant enough. I ordered the Pond House burger, which came with waffle fries. Everything was delicious and the perfect temperature. My friend had the salmon burger, which he also enjoyed. For dessert, we ordered the ginger stout cake. This name is pretty deceiving, because it is more like a flan served with a tiny square of cake. Despite being tiny (for the price), it was delicious and high quality. I highly recommend this restaurant.
The food is outstanding, unusual, and creative On a dreary Nov. day the view was, of course, not as much a "wow" factor as it could be but I imagine it will also be quite beautiful in the Spring. I would certainly return. Also a fanfastic setting for a wedding.
I am still dreaming about the dinner I had. The apple cinnamon sangria was really good and eactly what I wanted. The veal chop special was off the chart good. I also had the grapefruit salad which was a beautiful plate of greens with grapefruit sections. This place lived up to all the expectations I had and more.
I took my mother to your establishment for her 89th birthday. She is very picky, but she ended up loving your food. The chili was amazing (especially for us vegetarians). Also, the deserts were wonderful (a bit too wonderful). We loved the chocolate cake. Great view and wonderful service as well.
I had the Chicken with Curry sauce and 2 sides dishes and thought it was absolutely wonderful! My friends had the Nachos in the Park and dinner Salmon dish and both stated that they were very good. I wish the park and restaurant were much closer to my home so that I could enjoy all that they have to offer more often. Many thanxx for an enjoyable dinner.
Pond House has done well moving from simpler meals and BYOB to more complex meals and their own beer/wine selections. Saturday was another good event - as always the service was very pleasant and enjoyable -- now they've added digital menu's with pictures you can scroll through -- takes a few moments to get used to, but helpful! Food was strong as well -- Curry chicken, Duck, Lamb Chops and Seafood Jambalaya (with Alligator - which was optional) - were all well done. ONly the Chowder was a bit salty for our taste.
We found the Pond House Cafe to be quaint with excellent food. The choices were simple, burgers, steaks, and seafood. Our burgers were larger than expected - plenty of food for a reasonable price. The nachos were huge, more than enough for a table of 4. We were able to have a nice conversation with our friends, did not feel crowded or have to shout over noise. Nice ambiance!
Amazing food, amazing service- make reservations ahead of time!
our chef arrived at our table and made a special sorbet with liquid hydrogen. Super cool and very romantic in martini glasses. On the house. Thanks so much!
There were four of us for dinner. We are all very adventuresome eaters and we had troouble finding an appealing entree besides hamburgers - which were delicious! They had run out of the daily fish special by 7:45 and the restaurant was 2/3 empty,
When I booked with open table I placed a special request in the comment box. The hostess called me and responded to my request. Great brunch, superb service!
Pond House Cafe never disappoints. They are fabulous for brunch!!!
Tasty, imaginative takes on classic dishes and ingredients! Haute comfort food yet never pandering to lcd. Yummy appetizers and entrees. Tasty Tuesdays a wonderful addtiion to the offerings.
Great food, served beautifully and fresh ingredients.Service prompt and friendly. Clever menu -- on an IPad. Prices reasionable.. Can't ask for more.
We live in the neighborhood and love to bring out-of-town guests here for the great food and lovely setting.
First let me start by saying I don't usually write reviews for restaurants that I visit, but the Pond House was exceptional. We had a great lunch there this week. The food was delicious, my wife had the Rubin and I had the roasted turkey sandwich. They were both made perfectly and had plenty of food. The staff members were very polite, helpful, and quick. Because of the season, the atmosphere was very festive but not over done. We will be returning, and would suggest the Pond House to anyone looking for a nice lunch spot.

The Mountaineers, who earned 99 points in the poll, are coming off an historic season where they reached the elite eight of the NAIA D II national championships in 2011-12.
Corban, the defending CCC champion, earned one first-place vote and 85 points in the second spot, with The College of Idaho picked third with 83 points in the preseason ranking. Warner Pacific (63) placed fourth, and was followed by Oregon Tech (53), Southern Oregon (50), Northwest Christian (41), Concordia (35), Evergreen (23), and Northwest (14).
Eastern Oregon returns four starters and welcome seven new players to the team. Senior's Korrie Bourn and Brooke Randall are back to lead the Mountaineers. Randall, the 5'7 guard averaged 10.97 points per game and 7.49 rebounds per game. Bourn the 5-10 guard/forward averaged 9.42 points per game on her way to earning All-Tournament second team honors at the NAIA D II championships.
At Oregon Tech, fourth year head women's basketball coach, Scott Meredith, is coming off a 21-10 overall mark during the 2011-12 season, while also pushing their way back into postseason play after missing a berth to the 2010-11 conference tournament.
Oregon Tech returns four starters from last year, including juniors Karissa Dixon and Kassi Conditt who combined for 21 points and 12.2 rebounds per contest a year ago. Dixon returns as a first-team all-conference selection last season after a 44.5% effort from the floor, including 40.1% (63-157) from the 3-point line. Colleen Hunt, along with Maria Ramirez will also bring leadership at the guard position.
The top eight teams in the final CCC regular season standings will advance to the conference postseason tournament

My participation in the Sew for Victory challenge hosted by Lucky Lucille.
I made a fitted blouse from Simplicity 2343 from 1948, with a lovely Liberty cotton lawn kindly gifted to my from katycarp (see her stunning dress here) and some contrasting green fabric for the Peter Pan collar. It had lots of darts and tucks, and buttons down the back.
I spent quite a bit of time altering the pattern, as the initial fit on my toile was not good! In the end I was happy with what I ended up with. I am planning on wearing it on many occasions!

Wow. The French always stick their fingers in our eye when we need something.
Perhaps....just maybe....our leftist betters who have lectured us so long about their ´Peace-Love-Dope´ notion of foreign policy are about to get mugged by reality.GWB, who is still accused (by the left) of being a war mongering cowboy, took his plans to the both Congress and the U.N. before going into Iraq.
We shouldn´t have given in. The European nations in NATO aren´t adequately funding their defense needs. When trouble pops up we get stuck with the bill. We´ve propped up their welfare states for too long by subsidizing their defense.
Remember: the enemy of my enemy is my friend.If the French want to kill jihadists, I say let give them a ride.
