My wheelchair, at about 24 inches wide, can barely fit going across the front row. ECVs and powerchairs, which are larger, cannot roll from the "entrance" side to the "exit" side of the ride vehicle. Therefore the larger vehicles like ECVs start on the "exit" side. Trust me - there is no way to get out the "entrance" side with any kind of wheelchair or scooter. I can barely get in! It is very tight, very very tight turns, narrow walkways. ECVs simply would not fit over there!

Only time for short post -
I went to DL yesterday and got a DAS card. I had little problem getting the Return Times and using them. Sometimes the CMs forget, so always remember to get your old time crossed off! It is just easier for them to do it at the attraction.
The real issue was with the wheelchair return times - it was inconsistent throughout the park. In some places I was told I was not allowed to wait in the wheelchair line, I had to get a return time. Other places were allowing people to form a stand-by wheelchair queue OR get a card. This is obviously a system they are working on, so all we can do is be patient while they are figuring it out.
There is no official list or warning about what has a wheelchair return ticket and what has a regular stand-by line. I also spoke with two managers, and they acknowledged that the system is imperfect and they are working on the bugs in the system.
Some people reported to me that they waited like the wheelchair return time said, which is the standby time, and then ended up waiting again in the line of wheelchair users who ALSO got the Wheelchair Return Time and came back... So that part of the system may not be working.
A manager also confirmed to me there is no set way YET to accommodate the needs of those who require the special wheelchair vehicles, as sometimes we can wait quite a bit longer after waiting in regular or wheelchair lines...
The wheelchair return system is constantly changing, and I expect there to be yet another change by the time I get there tomorrow.
For wheelchair users going to Disney, this does NOT mean you will suddenly be unable to enjoy the park. It just means that for the "big ones" (Space, Splash, Pirates, Mansion), you may be given a return time. The idea behind it is to not only ensure everyone waits their turn, thereby stopping people from thinking a wheelchair will let them "cut lines", but also to spread out wheelchair users returns, and prevent lines from forming.
I admit, this was not really working yet when I was there. But it was also Day 2 - so things will get better.
I also cannot post about the placement of the kiosks, as managers said they are trying different spots, so it may change entirely. For example, one person told me that they were told the kiosk in DCA was next to Ariel - it was moved to Toy Story Mania... so things are in flux.
Managers ARE out, and happy to hear feedback, but be ready for things to not be perfect right away. But if you are patient and polite with the CMs, they seemed very willing to make everything work.

I called guest services to ask them all my DAC questions yesterday and they weren't able to give me much information due to the case by case basis. It would just be easier to know what his case will allow prior to arriving so we can all be more prepared to help him understand what we're doing. I hoped they could help me by giving me some information. I guess I will have to wait until we arrive.

I won't be there until the first week of December so looks like you'll be there before me. I'm sure your trip will be fabulous! I would prepare your son as if you were going to have zero accommodations. That's what I've decided to do. We used to do DL without any (other than wheelchair entrances on occasion) and only used GAC one year for the many years we've gone.
Is your son verbal, non verbal, does he have interests in things? I have some tips I could give you about ways I've handled it with my son (without any accommodation). You may have already thought of them but I'd be happy to share.

We went last night and will probably be going again today.
For all of those that are concerned that the system won't work for them, please try it before complaining. Yes, there is some waiting. But, if you plan it right, wait times can be minimized.
Here is some helpful information to do so:
Always make sure you have am active return time on your DAS, if you have one.
Always have a FP
If at Disneyland Park, also always try to have a Return Time card for an attraction that doesn't have a mainstream queue.
These suggestions were given by one of the people at Disneyland who helped design the new system when they called mev and I wasn't even asking how to reduce wait times, I was asking about the shows, such as WOC and she mentioned these tips.
In my experience by following these tips, you will wait for the first attraction; however, if planned properly you will have little to no waits for other attractions, other than the short lines when you return. Although we haven't done Pirates, Space, Splash, etc. That normally have the longer assistance lines yet.
By the way for WOC, you must still have a FP and you initially need to go to the section that your FP is in. If you do not have a mobility device, but do need the benches, you will need a DAS, they will NOT let you use them without one, even though guest Relations says they will. I saw many people who would need the bench turned away because they didn't have one, they did also turn away a person with a cane as well and there was still plenty of room. Now it is possible guest Relations has a card that would work just at the shows, I don't know, but if this is your primary concern, make sure guest Relations gives you something that would work at the shows. Also at Aladdin, you will need a DAS, mobility device (not including canes or walkers, they have to wait in the regular line and use the stairs, unless they have a DAS or something similar) to use a bench to wait or to avoid the stairs still. When you get to your section at WOC, they are supposed to ask if you want the lower bench seating or the one at the back of the seating. Of course they won't ask you if one of the seating areas is full, but you must go to your section first, even if you want the one in the back. They have implemented this change you ensure that every guest gets a choice until one of the sections is full to comply with current ADA guidelines for theaters. This is a recent change and there was a little confusion when we asked where to go at first, but this was the answer I got when I asked why there was such confusion.
Please keep in mind the system is still new and it's being tweaked on a constant basis, for example if you have an active return time for an attraction that is near a kiosk and you want to go on an attraction with at least an hour wait afterwards. If it is your time to go on the attraction, you can explain that you are about to ride, but that you want a Return Time for another attraction that has an hour or longer wait and they will add it before you ride. The example that wad provided was, let's say you have a Return Time for toy story for noon and the next ride you want to go on is Haunted Mansion. It is now noon and you are about to go on TS, you could go to the kiosk and they would say, but you already have a time on the card and you would say yes, but I next want to go on HM, which I hear has an hour wait, they would look it up and add the return time before you go on TS. I was surprised when we were told this, as this is different than what we have heard before, but this was the current policy as of yesterday. Again this is subject to change, but it gives an idea of how things are being tweaked as this rolls out.
Also, you can get the DAS card at any guest Relations location or kiosk, but keep in mind that the printers are only located in guest Relations inside the parks at the moment, so you will be waiting for a runner to go up there and pick up your card. They are working on getting printers at all of the kiosks though.
As for waits at the kiosks, I did not see anyone waiting, unless they were getting a new card and they were waiting for it to be picked up.
I had absolutely no wait to get mine, as I went to the kiosk right inside the gate. It only took about a minute for the runner to pick up my card, as we were so close to Guest Relations. They also offered to put the first wait time on it right then and there.
So overall things seem to go fairly smoothly.

I just wanted to post my initial impressions after day 1 of 4 at DL and DCA yesterday with DS16 special needs. Initially when I heard about the program, I was really nervous and then worried about being there on one of the first days when all the "bugs" were being worked out. Well, we didn't have one bug and were left extremely impressed. There was a CM at GS in DCA in the morning when we picked up out pass vetting everyone who went in. We had no problem getting a pass, and I spoke at length with the CMs in there about the changes, etc. They were wonderful with my son, asked him questions about rides he liked, etc. and gave us a little magic. DS is fairly obviously special, especially when he starts talking, and I really felt like they went out of the way to assure very anxious DS that the new system would work well for him. It did. The DAS RP coupled with smaller (no wait) rides, and FP made our day even more enjoyable, mostly because of issues we've had with abuse/so many people using the previous GAC. It did require a little more planning, but really in the spirit of trying to ensure this service is for people who *really* need it, I think it's a huge step in the right direction. I also found the placement of the kiosks well thought out (central and near exits of rides where you would typically be using the pass). I'll let you know if my impressions change in the next couple of days.
Took advantage of room for one more!

Just got here tonight and kinda discouraged so far. They're only taking off 10 min, but still send you through fastpass if able-bodied. So you do end up waiting longer than standby, but its like having a fast pass machine for any ride. That seems fine in theory, but then we spent 10 min deciding which ride to go on, during which DS changed his mind 3 times! Then we got to the ride only to find out DD was a hair too short and DS didn't want to ride that with just one parent. So we made a plan to go on little mermaid and let DS go on a big ride of his pick. Found the kiosk and then had to wait AGAIN for goofy sky school even though we had already waited for soaring and couldn't go on.
This WILL take a lot more planning and flexibility, which DS really isn't good at and I'm not thrilled about making our vacation a learning experience either. The kid does 25 hours of therapy a week, and we all looked forward to the breaks we had at Disneyland.

Those Who Can, Do
John Vorhaus on Feb 17 2012 | Filed under: CRAFT, Humor
It's your faithful correspondent, John "Sunny Boy" Vorhaus, coming to you live from Sofia, Bulgaria, where I have been hired to recruit and train writers for the Bulgarian version of Married… with Children. Since this whole part of my life, the part where I go running around the world teaching writers, flies in the face of the awful stigma, "those who can't do, teach," this month's missive is especially directed at those of you who want to share your gifts through teaching but fear that it will, in some sense, distract you or divert you from your writer's life. There's certainly that risk, but the gain is so bountiful that I think you need to take that chance.
And I'm here to tell you that you can have it all.
So, "Sherman, set the way-back machine for 1989." I'm teaching at the Writers Program of the UCLA Extension, while struggling to keep my TV writing career afloat. I was definitely burdened at the time by the above-referenced nostrum about how those who can't do, blah, blah, blah. Then along came a student who blessed me by saying, "How about those who can do, do both?" The clouds parted, the sky turned blue, and my path suddenly became clear before me. I would spend half my time writing and half my time teaching, and I would have a balanced, fruitful life, and not go crazy. Life was good. Bar some random bumps in the road, life has been good ever since. I have built a body of work I can point to with satisfaction and I have introduced thousands of writers around the world to the idea that they, too, can live the writer's life. I don't know which achievement pleases me more. Both accomplishments occupy pride of place on my whole-life résumé. (The, whole-life résumé, by the way, is an awesome and fulfilling exercise; you should check it out.)
So now I'm in Bulgaria. I'm engaged in the daunting task of taking a 25-year-old television show that was never written with the rest of the world in mind and bringing into the here-and-now of a place where domestic sitcom production has yet to take root, or take flight, or take something, possibly strong analgesics, I know not what. This is an unintentionally hilarious exercise, because part of my job involves just explaining all the cultural references that littered the original Married… with Children, and whose meaning has often been lost to the sands of time – if, indeed, they were ever at all clear in the first place.
Consider the phrase I used above, "Sherman, set the way-back machine." So far as I know, it was never used in Married… dialogue, but if it had been, how would you go about explaining it? "Well, see, there was this cartoon called Mr. Peabody and Sherman, and Mr. Peabody was a scientist who took this kid, Sherman, on trips to the past via this device called the way-back machine, and in American culture when someone (at least someone of my generation) says, "Sherman, set the way-back machine," they mean, "Let's go back in time, but not in an entirely serious way." Sure, that's clear. That'd help you if you had to translate that phrase, or even the sense of it, into Bulgarian.
I've taken pains to point out to the writers I'm working with here that theirs is a particularly interesting (by which I mean daunting and potentially frustrating) job of creative problem-solving. Those Married… scripts were pretty tight, especially the early ones, and you can't just go about making changes willy-nilly, lest the whole story unravel like a cheap sweater. So you have to look at the script joke by joke, figure out the intent of each one, consider the cultural references (if any) that drive the joke, then strip the whole thing down to its abstract qualities and rebuild it on a new foundation of cultural references that work for Bulgaria in 2012. If you don't happen to have a cartoon character with a time machine, you have to hunt for something analogous, and if you can't find something analogous, you have to make up something that works just as well. Script adaptation is really cultural, comic and emotional detective work. It's one of the most fascinating things I've ever done.
But it isn't writing, at least not my part of the process. So when I slope back to my lodgings at night, I boot up my laptop and bang away at my current novel or screenplay, or I write monotribes like this one here. Often I spend my idle time making up words. Can you spot the one I just made up? It substitutes for "missive" or "column" or "article" or "blog post" 'cause I'm sick to death of all of those. And as I point out to my writers, on this job you get to make up words, too, because it's not just a writer's right but her responsibility to advance the language – any language.
Meanwhile, I'm learning more about Bulgaria than I ever knew or even imagined. I've learned about its wars and political history, and how potholes are a national problem and obsession. I've learned that its King Ferdinand was the first ruling monarch to fly in an airplane. (In 1910; true fact, not bar fact.) I've packed my brain with new data, made new friends, gathered new information. Can anyone tell me how that wouldn't make me a better writer?
Someone once asked me to describe the globetrotting part of my business model. I said, "I travel around the world exchanging information for experience and money." Which is a pretty good gig. I owe a lifelong debt to that student who said, "Those who can do, do both." She didn't know it, but she was setting me free. So if you're burdened by, "Those who can't do, teach," I encourage you to set it aside. The math of it is so simple: teach; you'll learn. What could be bad about that?

Good luck, John. I recall some of the scripts for the early episodes of the US version of The Office were taken almost verbatim from the original British show. You have a far more daunting challenge. Perhaps you will discover Bulgaria's Ed O'Neil.
I taught high school drama for over twenty years. Consequently, I've acted every day of my life. Now, if I could make the activity pay, I'd be set.
Seriously, thanks for the contribution you've made to people like me. The Comic Toolbox sits on the table next to me. I recommend it to others, often.
"Teach, you'll learn." So true. Mnogo blagodaria, John.
John, I owe you one for this. Perfect timing.
This sounds like fodder for a novel or reality show. Fascinating stuff.
Those who teach should be able to do both! If they don't have the necessary skills and understanding for the job, why would we expect them to be able to teach others? And as you said, teaching makes the teacher learn as well, if by nothing else than making them articulate solutions to possible problems and issues.
Your work in Bulgaria sounds fascinating! More posts on this, please!
Fantastic post, John. And enjoy Sophia! I've been there, and you've made me nostalgic...
You had me at making up words just for the pleasure of it, or just because the word fits where no other one does . . . love.
I think it's been proven that kids who teach other kids raise their own IQ. I'm guessing that's the same for writers, except you're raising your WQ...if that phrase even exists. I'm guessing it probably wouldn't translate well for Bulgarian television!
So true! I've learned more about the writing process by teaching it to 3rd and 4th graders than I ever had before I became a teacher.
It sounds like one of those experiences that will change you forever, in only good ways. I envy you the adventure! Thanks for sharing it with us here.
Best of luck to you, John and I know you're keeping a journal where you'll sow and later harvest some powerful stuff.
I teach memoir writing classes as another income stream for this novel writing career of mine and I find I am always inspired by the stories I hear!
Fantastic. Fascinating on the cultural front. Living in a foreign country for years on end, I'd never gotten to a point where I could appreciate their jokes. It takes some deep study of a culture not your own.
Also a great reminder to me that you can do both--whatever your both is. That, to be a writer, I don't have to be holed up in my studio writing 8 hours a day. That I can split my time, energy, and attention with some discipline.

'We even were willing to make Stephane Dion prime minister of Canada,' Mulcair said but Liberal leader Trudeau said he 'was not interested in any of those options'
Mulcair got into another spat with House of Commons Speaker Andrew Scheer on Monday, defiantly ignoring his request not to call the Conservatives cheaters
A motion calling for the cap will be debated in the House of Commons Monday. It urges the Harper government to take action on ATM fees in its upcoming budget
'I've seen this situation before where the referee decides that he's going to become a player in the sport'
'We're reaching out, we're engaging local business owners and we're going to work together to find ways to help them grow and prosper in the 21st century'
Mulcair said his party takes in less because its base 'tends to deliver in bite-sized chunks, not the $1,000 donations that some other parties seem to favour'
All told, Trudeau skipped 22 question periods — or about one in three. This compares to 19 question periods missed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper, and 14 for NDP Leader Tom Mulcair
Sure, he's not donning a pullover sweater, but Harper looks as chill as he ever gets, and the lighter tone is in step with the celebratory mood in South Africa
Pollsters say the latest numbers reinforce the split byelection results, and demonstrate a significant shift is underway in terms of both Tory and Liberal voters
Thomas Mulcair has proven the NDP can survive without Jack Layton. But in the grand scheme of things, is survival enough?

I suggest you check the electrical resistance of the fuel injectors. Check cold then check again hot. Shorted fuel injector winding[s] can cause this symptom. The resistance readings will change with temp. however the individual injector resistances should all be the same or close to the same.

Over the years, I have tweaked my pork embutido recipe many times~from adding liver spread to mixing in cheese~until I arrived to this version which has become a frequent request of family and friends. The thing I like about these Filipino-style meatloaves is that they are not only impressive on a party table but they also serve equally well paired with fried rice as an easy breakfast meal or sandwiched between bread rolls for a satisfying mid-afternoon snack. Keeping a steady supply in the freezer has certainly saved me from worrying about dinner on many hectic days.
Pork Embutido Prep time:Cook time:Total time:Yield: 6 to 8 ServingsIngredients
- 1-1/2 pounds ground pork
- 1 cup crushed pineapple, drained
- 1 small onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 large carrot, peeled and shredded
- 6 eggs
- 3 pieces vienna sausages, cut into four lengthwise
- 1 cup raisins
- ¼ cup banana ketchup
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- cooking oilInstructions
- In a saucepan, bring enough water to cover eggs to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Gently lower 3 of the eggs into the water and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove eggs and transfer to a bowl of iced water. Crack shell, peel and quarter each egg lengthwise.
- In a small bowl, beat the remaining three eggs.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of oil. Add onions and cook until limp.
- In a large bowl, combine ground pork, carrots, sauteed onions, ketchup, crushed pineapple, raisins, beaten eggs, salt and pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
- On center of a 12-inch aluminum foil, spread ⅓ of the pork mixture creating a rectangular shape. Arrange sliced eggs and vienna sausages on top and middle of pork mixture. Carefully roll mixture to form a log of about 3-inch in diameter. Wrap the foil around the meat and crimp ends of foil to seal tightly. Repeat with remaining pork mixture.
- In a roasting pan, add about 2 inches of water. Arrange foil-wrapped pork mixture on a roasting rack and position rack on top of water-filled pan. Bake in a 375 F oven for about 50 to 60 minutes or until juice runs clear when pork rolls are pierced with a knife. Allow to cool before peeling foil.
- In a pan, heat about 1 inch of oil. Add embutido and cook, turning occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides. Let stand for about 5 minutes before slicing into desired thickness.3.2.2885

Diplomacy can't hurt. After all, an Iran that possessed nuclear weapons would be a deeply destabilizing development.
Iran's new President Hasan Rouhani.
Photo: Ebrahim Noroozi, Associated Press
In his speech to the U.N. General Assembly, President Obama on Tuesday promised to engage Iran's new leadership in negotiations to prevent the development of nuclear weapons in that country as part of a broader normalization of relations.
The president was right to say that "the diplomatic path must be tested" despite concerns in this country and Israel that Iran will never abandon its ambitions to be a nuclear power.
An Iran that possessed nuclear weapons would be a deeply destabilizing development. The most commonly cited concern is that Iran might launch a nuclear attack on Israel — an operation that would be suicidal in light of Israel's own (if unacknowledged) nuclear arsenal.
But a more likely danger is that a nuclear-armed Iran would seek to maximize its political influence in the region, inspiring other states to seek nuclear weapons of their own.
Yet economic sanctions have taken their toll, and in June, Iranians elected as their President Hassan Rowhani, a former nuclear negotiator who ran as a reformist. Rowhani has suggested that he would be open to creative negotiations to resolve the nuclear issue.
For now, at least, he seems to have the support of Iran's religious establishment.

One might not think that questions of airport security and IRS scrutiny would be connected, but Steve Kelman finds a link. (Stock image)
In following the IRS Tea Party scandal, I've been struck by an analogy. The targeting of Tea Party applications for tax-exempt status and debates about whether, say, young male Muslims should be targeted for extra scrutiny at airports raise the same set of issues.
It is simply a fact that most terrorists threatening the United States, Europe or Israel are young male Muslims. A strong argument could be made that random extra scrutiny of airport passengers is highly inefficient – producing bizarre anomalies such as heightened scrutiny for 85 year-old grandmothers – and that ethnic profiling would increase the chance of catching a terrorist. Indeed, this has been Israel's strategy at airports.
Similarly, it is simply a fact that a group such as the Tea Party that is fundamentally a political organization is more likely to violate the (apparently very expansive) rules limiting political activity for social welfare organizations than is a Knights of Columbus chapter that might do a small amount of political activity on issues such as abortion. To treat both organizations the same way is inefficient. Indeed, if one wanted to use more dramatic language, one could say that treating both kinds of organizations in the same way would be an example of government waste.
If anything, targeting young male Muslims is more problematic than targeting local Tea Party organizations. Although most terrorists are young male Muslims, the vast majority of young male Muslims are not terrorists, so in targeting them, the government would be overwhelmingly targeting innocent people. By contrast, the chances that a local Tea Party organization would be engaged in political activity that would produce a failure to qualify for tax-exempt status would seem to be much larger. (To be fair, though, the downside of failure to pick out a terrorist is much greater than the downside of failure to catch an organization that shouldn't be getting tax-exempt status.)
But the demands for ethnic profiling at airports (which were rejected in the United States, even in the height of post-9/11 anxieties) and the IRS profiling of Tea Party organizations both remind us of the old saw that government is not just about efficiency. We are, and should be, willing to sacrifice some degree of efficient performance in government for protection and fair treatment of innocent individuals or groups.
There is an irony here, though, which is that I am guessing that Tea Party supporters and Republican conservatives are more likely than most to have supported ethnic profiling of potential terrorists. There is a second irony, which is that an important mission of the congressional government affairs oversight committees is to promote efficiency in government.
While I definitely agree – as illustrated by the IRS and ethnic profiling cases -- that efficiency is not the only goal in government management, it certainly should be an important goal. Too often in government, the correct statement that government cannot care only about efficiency morphs into a philosophy that efficiency is not important at all – a philosophy that then causes the same oversight committees to rail against government waste. And certainly the efforts to criminalize bad judgment by IRS civil servants here are unlikely to foster a mentality inside government that one should aggressively be looking for ways to be more efficient.

This article is nothing but another attempt to justify that for which there is no justification. While I will agree that there is some justification to suspect that a group with "tea party" in its name may be more political than charitable, that same argument applies just as much to groups with obvious left-wing political leanings.
The IRS targeted the right-wing groups for extra scrutiny at the same time that they were rubber-stamping the applications of the left-wing equivalent groups. They deliberately put a hurdle in front of the right-wing groups at the same time they were giving a pass to the left. This would not be a scandal if they applied the same level of scrutiny to all groups irregardless of which side of the aisle their ideology sits.
What the author and some of those trying to minimize the corruption of the IRS conveniently ignore is that the IRS excessivel dragged their feet in their investigations of these conservative groups, effectively denying them their legal status for periods for up to two years while expiditing some obvious liberal orgnizations applications AND not only choose to go after conservative groups, but have also gone after well-known conservative individuals. As such, their arguments and comparisons (such as about ethnic profiling) are totally without merit. Comments such as "IRS employees decided that it would be easier to target Tea Party groups as they were most likely in violation of the tax code" and "targeting young male Muslims is more problematic than targeting local Tea Party organizations" are making an ignorant opnion at best, or dishonest statement at worst. I could go into a long disertation as to why those comments are totally false, but I doubt that the people who need to learn this would actually read it and try to understand it. All conservatives know that if the tables were reversed, the liberals and all the news organizations would be making far more noise for demands that the heads of the IRS as well as anyone in the Administration be canned. Itis obviousthat this is a purely political scandal and that most of those making excuses for the IRS most likely do so for political reasons.
Excellent article. There is a great deal of similarity between the IRS scandal and ethnic profiling at airports. In both scenarios, a problem arises, Congress wants immediate solutions, the applicable government department has difficulty dealing with the issue, and so employees take shortcuts.
We had 9-11 and other terrorist strikes, Congress demanded better airport security. Its not feasible for the TSA to thoroughly search every passenger, so they started random searches, including 85-year-old grandmothers and 4-year-old girls. Because of intense pressure from Congress on the TSA to prevent airline attacks, some employees began profiling Arab-looking men and others that they believed had a higher propensity to be terrorists.
Several years ago concern arose that political groups were abusing the 501c(4) section of the tax code. 501c(4) groups are supposed to be for social welfare, and are exempt from paying taxes and disclosing donors. They are prohibited from engaging in political advocacy. Congress demanded that the IRS investigate these organizations, and the IRS initially investigated 501(c)4s of all types. At some point, IRS employees decided that it would be easier to target Tea Party groups as they were most likely in violation of the tax code.
Both ethnic and political profiling are wrong. They violate America's democratic values, and are not effective. Once a terrorist group learns that little kids won't be searched, you'll have a tottler carrying C-4 explosives onto a plane. Once conservative groups learn that organizations with liberal or apolitical names won't be investigated, they'll likewise use different names.
Kelman, like all the rest of the liberals, likes to twist the facts to condem conservatives while at the same time praising liberals and liberal groups engaged in all forms of unethical, if not illegal, activities. Hypocrisy and deception is the norm for these people - as also evidenced by the antics being done by the IRS and is supporters in this obvious scandal that should have many people headed for jail if true justice is ever done.
First, the analogy is bunk. You compare a screening process on fundamentally law-abiding citizens engaging in the lawful and generally helpful debate inside the system about who to send as leaders to our government to screening fundamentally non-law-abiding often non-citizens engaging in unlawful and outside the system senseless violence to sway public opinion and government action. Sort of like saying we should hire church greeters and jail guards the same way; how this contorted argument can be taken seriously is beyond me. Second, the opening line of the third paragraph (I refuse to restate it.) that is purported as a simple fact has a myriad of blatantly false implications. How the supposition that the group is NOT following the laws became part of the narrative reflects the motivation of the author and not the members of the group. Second, lumping all the Tea Party named groups as one distorts the fact that those groups are not centrally controlled at all. Third the accusation that all those Tea Party groups are focused on "social welfare" is absurd; they are concerned with too big a government with too much money and too much power which is exactly what this article seems to justify. But additionally this argument works for every an all political organizations, not just the Tea Party, so it seems the author is justifying all political groups getting their submissions leveraged to the whims of the ruling elite, but not leveraged to engage in the national debate.Other reader comments - ditto. If this is what you give us for journalism your publication should be ashamed.

Research supports that this may be a viable option. The results of two recent studies are examined in this article.
Considering fifty percent of Americans now own smart phones, this article explores how these devices might be used to improve health and wellnes.
The Pennsylvania Produce is a guide to quality produce grown in PA. This publication lists suggestions for shopping at a Farmers' Market, food safety, a harvest calendar. It also lists most vegetables and fruits, usage, selection, what to avoid, and storage. Available from your local Penn State Extension office.

The Master Gardner program was established to assist Extension in reaching the consumer horticulture audience. The program provides interested individuals with extensive training in many phases of gardening. In return, participants dedicate volunteer time to teaching horticultural information based on university research and recommendations.
Home food preservation is becoming popular with many people these days. This is a fantastic way for people with diabetes to enjoy fruits and vegetables all year long. By canning your own vegetables and making your own jellies you can control the amount of sugar and salt in these products.
Many of us have probably said, "I know I should eat more fruits and vegetables. But how?" Summer overflows with fresh fruits and vegetables at Farmers markets and roadside stands. People plant gardens and check frequently for the green shoots to appear. Even grocery stores create displays of local produce for your consumption.
Now in its third year, the Dining with Diabetes program has been offered in some unique locations all across the state of Pennsylvania. In April and May of this year, the class was offered at Mount Saint Benedict Monastery in Erie led by Extension Educator, Janice Ronan.
Is there a connection between calcium, vitamin D and diabetes? Researchers are investigating the effects of these two important nutrients and how they might play a role in diabetes prevention.
MyPlate is a new food icon recently released by USDA to complement MyPyramid. It offers a simpler rendition of what might appear on a healthy plate. Many people with diabetes adhere to the Idaho Plate Method. How do the two compare?
As educators, it is important for us to keep in mind the broad scope of emotions brought on by the diagnosis of diabetes. Bill Polonsky, PhD, CDE is the Founder and CEO of Behavioral Diabetes Institute and has some helpful suggestions for educators.
Staying hydrated is important, especially during periods of physical activity and in warmer weather. With the availability of so many choices, making a decision about the type of water to drink can be challenging.
Facebook just become a lot more educational! A new, interactive game is providing a way for people to learn about diabetes through hands-on challenges and socializing with other gamers.
While some studies have shown cinnamon to help control blood sugars by allowing the body to be more sensitive to the insulin the body produces, other studies have not. So, the jury is still out. The studies with positive results show that cinnamon may decrease fasting blood sugars and lipids, and it may also slow the emptying of food from your stomach, resulting in lowered after-meal blood sugars.

Tag: spring creek
Big Fish: Rodent-Eating Trout
As an avid fly fisher, I had heard the stories.
By day, the trout of Silver Creek—a clear, spring-fed stream in southern Idaho—fed on tiny mayflies and caddis flies. The water dimpled as trout sipped the profuse insect life from the surface. People like me used equally tiny artificial flies to try to mimic said insects, often an exercise in extreme frustration.
By night, though, river monsters ruled: giant brown trout cruised the depths, occasionally surfacing to gulp down any hapless rodents that fell into the stream.
There's something appealing, at least to an angler, about a trout that attacks mammals. Maybe it's the thought of our favorite water transforming into a scene from Jaws.
Maybe it's an antidote to the frustrations of tying delicate flies that practically require a microscope: If I came back at night, I could just chuck a giant hairball!
But these mice-gulping trout always carried a strong whiff of, well, the classic fishing story. High on drama. Short on fact.
Silver Creek, after all, is one of the most-studied trout streams in the world. And there were no confirmed reports of trout dining on rodents.
Silver Creek also has one of the highest densities of aquatic invertebrates anywhere. The trout surely had easier prey than the occasional mouse.
Then biologists examined some brown trout stomachs.
What they found wasn't pretty.
But it sure did validate some heretofore questionable fishing stories.

Optus squeezes last drop out of HFC network with new bundle
Optus has announced the availability of a new data cable broadband bundle for customers that are being serviced by its hybrid fibre-coaxial cable network.
Optus has announced the availability of a new data cable broadband bundle for customers that are being serviced by its hybrid fibre-coaxial cable network.
A new ITU standard will bring fibre broadband closer to premises, providing access speeds of 500Mbps to 1Gbps at distances of up to 100m from new distribution points.
The Italian region of Bologna is showing how local councils can help speed up fibre rollouts.
The Dutch telco has bought out its joint venture partner, becoming sole owner of the fibre broadband provider.
For the first time, UK cable connections were faster than fibre connections, though not by much. However, ADSL2 speeds have increased, while the speed gap between urban and rural users has narrowed.
Thirty five years ago the UK could have started the process of wiring up the country with fibre optic broadband. That never happened - but what's the situation now?
New Zealand's fibre to the premises and building rollout has beat its June target for premises passed by the fibre network.
In her memoir, former prime minister Julia Gillard has said while the fibre to the premises National Broadband Network had implementation issues, the ultimate goal of the project was "absolutely right".
Italy's Lombardy Region is rolling out superfast broadband on a small scale. To encourage local residents and businesses to take up the service, it's giving connectivity away at no cost.
Telecoms giant posts strong financials for the year on back of fibre broadband growth
The country with the most fibre to the home connections is one you might not expect — thanks to a building boom, an online services push, and high population density.
Over 420,000 more customers will receive fixed-wireless and fibre-to-the-node (FTTN) broadband services after an NBN Co review recommended an additional 1300 wireless towers be built – at an additional cost of $1.7 billion – to prevent latent demand from swamping satellite services to be launched in 2016.
When an earthquake hit the region around Pieve di Cento, the village became a symbol of the disaster. Now the area is showing other small towns left off telcos' fibre rollout plans how to make sure superfast broadband reaches them.
Fears are rising that a "nuclear option" could be used to degrade copper broadband services in New Zealand and drive users to fibre.
New Zealand's Ultra-Fast Broadband network project has now reached one quarter of its target of covering 75 percent of the population with fibre by 2019, but take-up is slow.
NBN Co has admitted that it is unaware of a key part of the Coalition's broadband policy that estimates 10 percent of premises will still get fibre to the premises because the copper network is unusable for fibre to the node.
Norway's telecoms regulator has brought in regulations meaning that the country's biggest telco will have to offer local-loop unbundling for its fibre access network as well as its copper.
Australia has topped the list of OECD countries when it comes to mobile broadband subscriptions per capita.
Qatar has laid out an ambitious plan for the country's broadband market. From greater competition to 1Gbps for schools to fibre for the World Cup stadiums, Qatari broadband will be getting a makeover in the next few years.
Australia's new broadband strategy is designed to look cheaper than the much-delayed fibre rollout, but it won't fix the decades of neglect that relegated us to the back of the pack.

Global warming is rapidly changing the world in Lloyd's accomplished first novel, in which the United Kingdom, still reeling from the Great Storm, becomes the first nation on Earth to institute mandatory carbon rationing, a 60% decrease in all energy use. Sixteen-year-old Laura just wants to pass her classes, play with her band and maybe catch the eye of cute neighbor Ravi. With the weather tipping wildly out of control, she and her highly dysfunctional family ("We are officially the bad family on the street now, the family that other families call the cops on") must contend with blackouts, water shortages and riots, followed by torrential rains and the flooding of London. This gritty eco-thriller, made up of Laura's diary entries throughout the year 2015, features a nicely developed sense of place, complex and believable characters and an all-too-plausible near-future scenario, as Britons make do, pull together and triumph over adversity. Fans of Cory Doctorow's Little Brother and Meg Rosoff's How I Live Now should find this book a gripping read. Ages 12-up. (Apr.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.

Seabourn Adds Seventh Continent On 'Ultimate Antarctica & Patagonia' Voyages
SEATTLE, Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- More than twenty years after the company pioneered an entirely new style of small-ship, ultra-luxury cruising, Seabourn plans to extend its repertoire of highly desirable cruising destinations to include Antarctica for the first time in 2013. Seabourn Quest, the newest ship in Seabourn's award-winning fleet, will begin a series of four 21- to 24-day voyages sailing between Valparaiso, Chile and Buenos Aires, Argentina starting in November of 2013.
"Seabourn is already renowned for our extensive portfolio of worldwide itineraries," noted Seabourn's president Richard Meadows. " Antarctica was the only continent that Seabourn did not feature in our itineraries. This expands our global reach to all seven continents and builds on our already impressive list of exotic destinations. Seabourn is very proud to be bringing our highly rated ultra-luxury cruise experience to Antarctica."
The all-suite ship will cruise the Chilean coast, including visits to Puerto Montt for the Chilean Lakes District, Castro on the huge island of Chiloe, and Puerto Chacabuco, from where guests can tour the magnificent Torres del Paine National Park. Then the intimate ship will thread the glaciers, peaks and channels of the Chilean Fjords, culminating in a transit of the Beagle Channel and its spectacular Glacier Alley. Weather permitting, following a call at Ushuaia in Argentina's Tierra del Fuego, Seabourn Quest will cruise by Cape Horn bound for the Southern Ocean. Guests on board will experience five days in Antarctica, including scenic cruising of highlights such as the breathtaking Lemaire Channel, picturesque Paradise Bay and the Gerlache Strait. An experienced Antarctic expedition staff will ensure that guests enjoy the best of the numerous available sites for landings and cruising in smaller inflatable boats, based on real-time weather and wildlife reports during their Antarctic adventures. Scientists, naturalists and other lecturers in a number of disciplines will speak on board and accompany guests ashore to add insights to their once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
During the South Atlantic portion of the voyage, guests will enjoy visits to Port Stanley, in the Falkland Islands, and Montevideo, Uruguay's capital, en route to or from Buenos Aires.A 24-day Holiday version will include two days exploring the sub-Antarctic wildlife Eden of South Georgia Island, renowned for its beauty and its vast, teeming rookeries of king penguins and other seabirds, as well as breeding elephant and fur seals.

How Magazines Once Supported American Authors
It seems like a fantasy now, but a number of great 20th Century writers enjoyed a fairly luxurious day job with Time, Inc.–writing for magazines while finishing the Great American Novel. Today's guest on the Morning Media Menu was Alan Brinkley, an author and history professor at Columbia University–talking about his new biography, The Publisher: Henry Luce and His American Century.
We focused on the life of Henry Luce, the man who founded Time, Life and Fortune–shaping the modern media landscape. Tomorrow night Brinkley will discuss his biography with the NY Times' Frank Rich at the 92nd Street Y.
Press play below to listen.
Here's an excerpt: "A long list of famous writers [wrote for Luce], including at various times, [John] Steinbeck and [William] Faulkner. People wrote for Time, Life, and Fortune because the magazines had a large audience, but also because Luce paid very well. It was a kind of golden handcuffs for some of these people who were writers and poets that had migrated into the Time, Inc. world to make some money while they wrote their novels and poetry–the magazine swallowed them up. It was hard to leave because they were paid so well and they had big expense accounts. So there was a lot of fear and loathing at Time, Inc.."

AP PHOTOS: Digging Out: 'It's like lifting cement'February 9, 2013 @ 9:15 pm
(AP) - "It's like lifting cement. They say it's 2 feet, but I think it's more like 3 feet," says landscaper Michael Levesque, who was shoveling snow in Quincy, Mass.
All throughout New England, residents began the grueling task of digging out from as much as 3 feet of snow Saturday. Emergency crews used snowmobiles to reach shivering motorists stranded overnight on New York's Long Island after a howling storm swept through the Northeast.
About 475,000 homes and businesses remain without power, down from a peak of about 650,000, and some could be cold and dark for days. There have been at least five storm-related deaths in the U.S.
Roads across the New York-to-Boston corridor of roughly 25 million people were impassable. Cars were entombed by drifts. Some people found the wet, heavy snow packed so high against their homes they couldn't get their doors open.
Here's a collection of images from the storm:

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewBrave Soul is a point 'n click action RPG developed by Crowd that was originally released in 2001 in Japan, and brought over to the US by Peach Princess more than 5 years later. It is a game in the same vein as Diablo, but with a twist. Aside from the dungeon crawling that you would expect, there's also a dating sim aspect to the game. The actions the player takes during the course of the game will determine what girl they end up with during the ending, which may contain adult content. The character designs were done by Nakayohi Mogudan, best known for illustrating the light novel series Scrapped Princess, which was later adapted into an anime.PlotThe game starts out with a scene where the main character (called Rudy by default) speaks to himself, as he dreams about a naked young lady standing in a river, who has appeared in his dreams for ten years now. He dubbed her "The Moon Goddess," as she only appears in his dreams during a full moon. For the first time ever, the young lady thanks him, but Rudy does not know why.He then wakes up in a forest, tied up and confused. His pet dragon then comes to save him, and delivers a letter. The letter is from his dad, stating that he wishes his son to become a man, and won't let him back in the house until he does so. Rudy then decides that the best way to become a man is to join the Hunter's Guild. As he's on his way, he hears a cry for help from a girl attacked by goblins, who looks suspiciously similar his "Moon Goddess." He saves her, and they go on an adventure together, where Rudy will run into many other girls along the way.GameplayKilling baddies The controls are standard fare for point 'n click RPGs from this era. The player uses the left mouse button for the Rudy's sword attack, and the right mouse button for any secondary magical attacks at the cost of MP. Similar to games of this type, HP and MP regenerate automatically as the player walks around. Aside from Rudy, there can be up to 3 other party members in the party, all of which are controlled by A.I. The player is, however, able to give them simple commands such as asking them to attack or heal. There is no overworld to explore. Instead, the player is presented with a map where they can select the town or dungeon they want to explore. The player progresses the story by visiting the Hunter's Guild and taking quests. Which quests the player decides to take, as well as moral choices, affect the Rudy's relationship with the girls. For instance, if the player decides to go explore a dark damp cave with a catgirl who likes sunny places, she will leave the party, and her heart meter will drop.There is also a New Game Plus aspect to the game. Every time the player beats the game, new difficulty modes may be unlocked. Most of which will make the game harder, but many of them will also allow the player to carry over their stats and gold. It is also necessary to beat the game at least once to unlock a girl which was previously not in the game.

Well, we thought we would try Roaring Run today since it is one of the better places to ride when conditions are wet. Foolishly we expected most of the snow to be melted due to the warmer temps we have had the last few days. We couldn't have been more wrong. Even the rail trail was barely rideable with the several inches of snow cone snow. Tried hiking up the hill in search of dirt, but everything is still covered. Put in about one mile and had enough. We don't give up on the trails very often, but today was the day. Ended up going for an 18 mile road ride on my friends single speed cross bike. Turned out pretty good at the end of it all.

I know I said I would stop picking on LeAnn Rimes, but I can't! Tuesday night, on "Jimmy Kimmel Live," LeAnn did herself a grave disservice by experimenting with a new hairdo. Rachel told me that there is a proper name for this hairstyle and it's called a quiff. Wikipedia describes it as a cross between a pompadour, a flattop and a mohawk. So yeah, LeAnn Rimes went on national television with a quiff. My theory is that it was her plant to have her hair distract us from all the bizarro things she said on that "Entertainment Tonight" interview. If so,it worked. Consider me distracted.
