I am honored to have the endorsements of the following members of our community:
"Glenn Davis is an effective leader who listens to community concerns and works to find solutions, regardless of who gets the credit. He works with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike, and this kind of bipartisan leadership is the kind of leadership we support in Richmond. Glenn Davis has always had an open door for public safety professionals, and firefighters are proud to endorse and support him as the next Delegate for the 84th District." –Virginia Beach Firefighter's Union
"Glenn Davis has served Virginia Beach well as a City Councilman and has shown great leadership in investing in safe neighborhoods despite the economic slowdown. He understands that economic development and jobs are only possible when streets are safe and people are secure. He supports public safety professionals, and we know he will be a reliable leader in Richmond to help make decisions that keep all of us safe. The Police Supervisors' Association is proud to endorse Glenn Davis to represent the people of the 84th District in the House of Delegates." – Virginia Beach Police Supervisors' Association
"As Lieutenant Governor and Virginia's Chief Jobs Creation Officer, I understand the private sector and how to create jobs. Glenn Davis has shown, both as an entrepreneur and a City Councilman, that he understands it too. Glenn has a record of opposing needless regulations that make it harder for small business to grow, expand, and hire. He understands how to invest in the core functions of government, which save taxpayer dollars in the long run. He's met payrolls, balanced budgets and put people to work. Glenn Davis is a pro-business leader that we need in the House of Delegates. I hope you'll join me in supporting him and helping elect him in November." – Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling
"It is vital for us to have legislators in Richmond that know first-hand the impact state laws and mandates have on our city budget and how they directly affect Virginia Beach's ability to provide good roads, good schools and safe streets for our community. Regardless of your political affiliation, Republican or Democrat, Glenn Davis is exactly the kind of common-sense, pro-business Delegate we need in the General Assembly." – Virginia Beach Mayor Will Sessoms

The economy is rough for everybody. The super-rich are cutting back on their mistress subsidies:
According to a new survey by Prince & Assoc., more than 80% of multimillionaires who had extra-marital lovers planned to cut back on their gifts and allowances. Still, only 12% of the multimillionaire cheaters said they plan to give up on their lovers altogether for financial reasons.
"Rich people are getting hit, and they're all expressing the need to curtail unnecessary spending," said Russ Alan Prince, president of Prince & Assoc., a wealth-research firm based in Connecticut. "Lovers are part of the same calculation."
Of course, any study of millionaires and their mistresses should be taken with a large grain of salt. The survey — a subset of a larger wealth study — polled 191 individuals with a minimum net worth of $20 million who said they had lovers of at least a year or more (this to screen out the one-night stands, etc.). About two thirds of the respondents were men and one third women. All were married and all had personal control over their finances, meaning the women and men surveyed were the primary wealth holders in their homes.
The most surprising stats in the study relate to gender and what might be termed "length of service." Fully 82% of men in the study said they planned to lower the allowances to their mistresses, while more than three quarters planned to provide fewer gifts, less expensive gifts and fewer perks, like jet rides, resort vacations and top restaurant meals.
Women were far more generous to their paramours in the face of financial crises. Less than 20% planned to lower allowances, gifts and perks, while more than half planned to raise them.
Looks like the men are substantially less generous to their mistresses than the women are to their manstresses…histresses…is there even a word for that?

Secretary of State John Kerry's Visit to Warsaw, 4-5 November 2013
Secretary Kerry Lays Wreath at Grave of Former Polish PM Tadeusz Mazowiecki
4 November 2013
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrived in Warsaw on Monday night and proceeded directly to the gravesite of former Polish Prime Minister Tadeusz Mazowiecki, to lay a wreath and pay his respects. Mazowiecki, Eastern Europe's first post-communist Prime Minister, died last week at age 86. Secretary Kerry was accompanied at the cemetery by U.S. Ambassador to Poland Stephen Mull, and Mr. Michal Mazowiecki, son of the late Prime Minister.
The Secretary walked along candlelit paths of Laski Cemetery, located in a beautiful pine forest on the edge of Warsaw. The cemetery was established in the 1920s along with the Society for the Care of the Blind, and is run by the nuns of the Franciscan Sisters Servants of the Cross.
During his visit to Warsaw, Secretary Kerry will meet with senior Polish officials to discuss our close defense alliance and partnership with Poland across a range of global issues, as well as Poland's key contributions on democracy promotion and in enhancing NATO capabilities. He also will meet with representatives of U.S. and Polish businesses and young innovators, highlighting our strong economic ties and mutual commitment to Transatlantic prosperity.

10 Things Your Parents Could Tell You About Parenting Adults.
But, You Probably Wouldn't Have Listened to Them.
Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.
~ Oscar Wilde
In the past few weeks, I have heard the following sentences, more or less, come from the mouths of people I know in regard to their adult children (names changed for the protection of… well, really, me):
We are butting heads with Fred right now about college choice. Frustrating!
Stuart is out of work and he has two little ones to support. I don't know what to do.
I found out that he had been in a serious accident when he posted a picture on Facebook.
I thought I was all done with that, but now I'm raising my granddaughter.
Louise continues to make bad decisions. I could shake her.
These sentences (only one of which was uttered by me) point to the complexity and uncertainty of parenting adult children. It's a tough task, because everything you think you know about parenting gets turned on its head by one big milestone day. And, if you accidentally bought into the myth that "in 18 years, they will be on their own," it can be even more of a shock when you realize that it does not work like that (at all) and that you really don't want it to.
As I only have two adult children, and the oldest is 23, I'm still trying to figure this out. But, with some experience, a lot of reading behind me, and much reflection on what I want/need from my parental figures, here are my top ten recommendations.
1. Get to know them as adults.
You feel like you know your children well by the time they reach 18. But, the reality of life is that we are different people in different relationships. You are not exactly the same you with your friends as with your parents. The people that your adult children become will be, in some ways, brand new relational partners for you. And, you'll have to get to know them as adults.
This will mean biting back some of the parenting urge when you talk. So, when your son tells you that he has accepted a new job, instead of asking parent questions ("How much does it pay? Isn't that dangerous? Is this what you went to all that college for?"), you'll have to ask get-to-know-you questions ("What drew you to that position? Is it what you hoped it would be? Are you excited about the opportunity?").
Through this process of asking and really listening, without judgment, you'll get to know your adult children in a new way. You'll find that they have interests that you never realized, opinions that you never would have predicted, and thoughts that astound you. You won't like everything that you learn, but that's how getting to know people works.
2. Let them get to know you in new ways.
As parents, we sometimes hold back pieces of ourselves from our children. Sometimes we hold things back because we are trying to protect them from unpleasant information. Sometimes, it is because we don't want to lose face in the eyes of our children. And, sometimes, it's because we just feel like that part of us is not theirs to know.
When the children become adults, there are new possibilities for what can be shared. I'm not suggesting that you take the 18 year old right out to the strip club and tie one on (you know, if you like that sort of thing). But, perhaps you have interests or hobbies that you have never really offered up to them. Or maybe now it is safe to tell them stories about some of the transgressions of your youth.
Creating a new relationship, with a friend, a romantic partner, or your adult child, is a two way street. You have to be willing and able to share pieces of yourself as well as really hearing what is shared with you.
3. Respect their boundaries.
As I talked about with regard to teenagers, the world of social media has sometimes made it seem that the boundaries between people are dissolving. But, they are only changing. Adults still have an expectation of privacy, and that holds true with parents as much (or sometimes more) as with other adults.
What does this mean practically? Don't stalk your adult child's friends on Facebook or Twitter. If your adult children have let you into their social media sphere, appreciate the boundaries that they have set and don't try to get around those boundaries for additional information.
Don't ask questions about their personal lives that you would not ask another adult. Don't show up at their houses without calling first (or in their rooms without knocking, if they still live at home). Don't insist on getting information that they don't wish to share. Don't open their mail. Don't ask others for personal information about them.
Our motivations for boundary violations may well be pure. It could be that we just want to be sure that they are safe. It might be that we just want reassurance, so that we can sleep at night. But pure motives don't make the behavior okay.
4. Remember that all relationships have rules.
Just because you are observing the boundaries of your adult children, that doesn't mean that you have to let them walk all over you. All relationships have rules. With peers, we rarely state the rules out loud (though, now and then, we do), but they are there.
It's fine to have some rules for your relationships with your adult child, just the way you do for anyone else. They may be more outwardly stated in some cases. Some areas where you need to think about rules include:
Are there types of information that you don't want this child to share with you (drinking escapades, sexual encounters)? Conversely, are there types of information that you are unwilling to share (financial information, your sexual encounters)? You may never have to actually say what these rules are, because they may just become clear in interaction. But, if that doesn't work, don't be afraid to speak up.
What sort of policies should you have for money lending? It's a good idea to articulate them to yourself, and then to your adult children as needed. Limits, uses, repayment expectations – all should be clearly specified.
What financial obligations will you cover for your adult children, and what are their responsibilities?
If your child lives at home, what sort of arrangements will you be comfortable with in regard to house guests, smoking, alcohol use, and household chores?
It may seem odd to be establishing rules for your adult child, but you have rules in your romantic relationships (likely some stated and some not), your friendships (maybe mostly unstated), for any roommates you might have, for business partners, and so on. It's the way relationships work.
5. Know that advice should be requested.
One of the most annoying thing a friend or colleague can do is to constantly offer you advice when you are not requesting it.
Think about that person you know, who, if you express the slightest unhappiness regarding a situation, launches into a lecture on what you should be doing and how you should handle the situation. It's annoying at best, and sometimes it's infuriating. Don't be that person for your adult children.
This is a hard one; I'm not going to lie. I struggle with it constantly in my relationships with my adult children, because I really want the best for them and I think I can help with that. But, really, offering advice that is not wanted is not going to have a positive result (as it won't likely be utilized) and it may well have a negative result.
There is a caveat here. If your adult child is engaging in behavior or choices that are truly dangerous, then you do what you have to do to get him or her to see it. This is what you would do with a close friend or a sibling and it applies here as well. But, you do it with the knowledge that it could ruin the relationship, so make sure the issue really is that important.
6. Realize that it's not your problem; it's theirs.
Sometimes, your adult children will make bad decisions and create a mess for themselves. The same can be said for you. When they do, it's not your problem. It doesn't mean you were a bad parent. It doesn't mean that they are bad people. We all make mistakes. We all create messes and then we all have to clean them up.
Sometimes your children may ask for your help, and then you have a decision to make about whether or not to give it, the same way that you would if it was a friend or a colleague. It's ok to say yes, when you are comfortable doing so. It's also reasonable to say no, and sometimes, if the asking comes too often, it's the best thing you can do. But, regardless of whether you end up helping your adult children through their issues, understand that the problems don't belong to you.
7. Expect that their "new families" will supersede the old.
When you become an adult yourself, and you find a romantic partner and settle down, it makes perfect sense that you would spend your holidays with your partner and not, necessarily, your parents. You feel a little baffled and put upon if your parents insist that you stick to family traditions. Maybe you have even felt torn between your loved one and your parents, and been angry that they were making you chose.
Then you have adult children, and you hit the first holiday where they tell you that they aren't coming home but going to their partners' parents' homes for the holiday instead and you are very hurt. It's normal and natural. Now, get over it.
The way of life in most mammal forms, including humans, is that the family of cohabitation or procreation eventually becomes the focal point of the adult life, rather than the family of origin. It hurts, sometimes, to see that the person you have cared for from infancy is now putting someone else first, but it is how it should be so that he or she can head into the future.
8. Understand that you don't get to parent their children.
Awww, babies. And, as the parent of an adult child, you've been through it all. You know about the mistakes you made and now you get this new chance to do it right. Belay that. It isn't your chance. You have to leave the parenting to the parents.
On the other hand, you get to be a grandparent, and that's a pretty cool gig. True, you have to abide by the parents' rules about things like food, bed-time, and media, but within those rules there is plenty of leeway for you to be the most outrageously fabulous grandparent ever. And then you get to send them home!
9. Prepare for ongoing changes in your relationships.
Just like parenting a two-year-old is not the same as parenting a ten-year-old, so too will your relationship with your adult children shift and change over time. As they get older, and maybe begin to raise children of their own, they will become more understanding of the choices (and mistakes) you made. You may even become more like friends than a parent and children.
Those relationships will continue to evolve over time. Perhaps, someday, your children will have a more active role in caring for you, which is simply another phase in the life-cycle of the relationship.
Change can be hard, for all of us. But, if you expect change and watch it, rather than fighting it, it should be less difficult.
10. Believe that they will always be your children.
All of these changes and all of this difference does not erase what you have had with them, your love, or the memory of that infant with round cheeks and chubby hands. That is always there, and it will be a part of your relationship always. When you really need to violate some of the ideas above, and there are times that you will, you can call upon it: "I understand that you don't want to let me help, but I am your mother and I love you." It won't always work, but it's a perfectly reasonable claim (she tells herself).
Even when you are hugging that 6'1″ tall man, with his face all whiskery and shoulders broad, you'll still be able to see the little boy who hugged you so hard and said, "I LOVE you, mommy!" And it will fill your heart.

What a wonderful post, Lorin. Mine's only 10 years old, but I think constantly about the type of woman I hope she will become, and that I see her becoming already. I notice how our relationship changes almost every day — even now at 10. I witness the worry, the fear, the hope that comes with parenting and that will never, ever end.
Greatest take away from your post — Parenting is like "Your Aunt Edna's ass. It goes on forever and is just as frightening"!!!
Thank you for this Mark D
Terrific post! My adult children are 24 and 26…. and one of life's greatest joys for both my wife and I have been to get to know both kids as adults. Every thing you say is true – but don't leave out that "joy" part!
Great post! I think I expected the changes in my relationship with my 18 yr old son. What I didn't expect was that he doesn't want to grow up at all. I wanted to be one of those mom's always ready with a hot meal and a hug when they needed a safety net to fall back on.

Pull my finger
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2012)
|Look up pull my finger in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Pull my finger is a joke or prank regarding flatulence in which a mark is asked to pull the finger of the joker, who simultaneously expresses gas in an unsavoury fashion so as to suggest a causal relationship between the pulling of the finger and the subsequent expulsion of gas.
A comparable activity is attributed to a character in a short story by Mordecai Richler (collected in The Street, 1969):
|He settled in sullenly at the kitchen table, his smile morose, and suddenly he would call out, "Pull my finger!" If you did he let out a tremendous burp.
A variation on this joke appears in Yasujiro Ozu's film Good Morning (1959). Schoolboys ask each other to push their foreheads, responding with an expulsion of gas.
In 2008, an iPhone app called Pull My Finger was one of the most popular apps in Apple's App Store, purchased over 50,000 times in less than one week. It allowed users to pull a virtual finger, activating the sound. The phrase is now the focus of a legal battle between Pull My Finger and iFlatulence over the use of the phrase.[1]

What Not to Flush
Protect your environment!
Sewers are designed to take away wastewater from sinks and baths, as well as toilet paper and human waste flushed down the toilet.
Avoid drain pain!
Sewers are not waste disposal units and are not designed to cope with modern disposable products, and as a result these items can cause blockages.
The drains connecting your home to the main sewer are only big enough to carry water, toilet paper, and human waste.
To prevent damage to the environment, the following items should be disposed of in the ways recommended.
• Cotton balls, ladies' products, bandages, plastics, and dental floss - dispose of these in the garbage along with other household trash.
• Condoms, tampons, and applicators - wrap well and dispose of in the trash.
• Sanitary towels and pads - use the special bags for sanitary protection available from pharmacies.
• Disposable napkins and Handy Wipes - flush any human waste down the toilet but not the Handy Wipe. The wipe should be well wrapped and disposed of in the bin.
• Razors and blades - put these into a rigid container before placing in the bin.
• Medicines - any unwanted or unused medicines should be returned to your local pharmacy for safe disposal. Do not dispose of medicines with other household waste, and remember to keep all medicines out of reach of children.
• Syringes and needles - disposing of these down the toilet or in your household garbage is dangerous and could cause injury to a member of our sewerage team or a refuse collector. To dispose of these safely, please contact your local hospital or health authority who will be able to advise you on the availability of local "needle banks."
To avoid drain pain and a drain on your finances, remember to bag it and put in the garbage ... don't flush it!
The Laguna Beach Wastewater Division is responsible for maintaining 95 miles of sewer lines, 25 lift stations, the four-mile North Coast Interceptor that transmits sewage to the regional treatment plant and 17 urban runoff diversion units. Key functions include maintaining the sewer system, moving forward an aggressive capital improvement program to reduce sewer spills, securing grants and low-interest funding, working with the Wastewater Advisory Committee, coordinating with the South Orange County Wastewater Authority, and complying with mandates from the Environmental Protection Agency and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Wastewater Division has 11 full-time staff, including 10 crew members, a project manager, the Director of Water Quality and an administrative position that is allocated to both divisions in the Department.

Time-warp Volvo for sale
A new 1973 Volvo 1800ES? A dealer in Maryland has one, but it will set you back a cool $50,000
photo courtesy Annapolis Volvo
What kind of a new car can you buy for $50,000? A nice Porsche Cayman, perhaps, or a Lotus Exige?
How about something even more out of the ordinary, like a 1973 Volvo 1800ES? A Maryland Volvo dealer is offering an orange 1800ES with just 273 miles on the odometer for $49,995. We did say new, right? This car has never been registered.
"People have come in from Sweden to look at it," said Mike Herron, the used-car manager for Annapolis Volvo in Annapolis, Maryland. Herron said the car arrived at the dealership in the mid-1990s, apparently part of the inventory of another dealership that had gone out of business. The car gets started and driven about once a month, but don't expect a lengthy test drive.
"I think it would take some severe arm-twisting," Herron laughed.
Don't expect the Volvo to come with a new-car warranty, either. "I'm pretty sure it's out of the factory warranty," he said.
If you're starting to think that Annapolis Volvo isn't what you'd call a motivated seller, you're right.
"The owner doesn't really care to sell it," Herron told us, since it's earning its keep by attracting passers-by to the showroom.
The car is nicely equipped, with a four-speed gearbox with overdrive, air conditioning, and an AM-FM radio. Take a look for yourself at www.annapolisvolvo.com.

Prodrive to unveil STi-based two-seater
Prodrive's P2 rides on a Subaru WRX STi running gear.
British engineering firm Prodrive, which revealed last spring that it was
designing a new, light and agile sports car, will show off its prototype at
the Autosport International Show on January 12 at the NEC in Birmingham,
The new car, called the P2, uses the 2-liter engine, gearbox and all-wheel-
drive system from the Subaru Impreza STi. Prodrive has added its own active
handling system and a turbo anti-lag system developed from its Subaru World
Rally cars. The styling of the two-seater is the work of Peter Stevens, best known for the McLaren F1 and his 1987 redesign of the Lotus Esprit.
Prodrive, which runs the Subaru World Rally and Aston Martin Racing teams
and offers performance packs for U.S.-spec Imprezas, has said the P2 is
meant to showcase new technologies and demonstrate the company's ability to
design and construct a road car in less than a year. There are no plans for
production, but Prodrive estimates that the car could be sold for about
$70,000, putting it about $20,000 north of the Lotus Exige and in a league
all its own.

Lotus Offers Loyalists a Glimpse at the Exige
Lotus loyalists will get a glimpse at the Exige coupe this month. The Elise-based machine isn't available in the U.S. yet.
You can't buy one in the United States — at least, not yet — but Lotus will be showing off its Exige, a coupe based on the Elise platform, at the annual gathering of Lotus aficionados at the 25th Annual Lotus Owners Gathering in St. Louis, Missouri, on August 27-29.
Group Lotus CEO Kim Ogaard-Nielsen will be making a special trip to the United States to offer club members an exclusive sneak-peek at the car.
The Exige, a coupe based on the Elise platform, is widely expected to go on sale here in the fall, with a price in the low- to mid-$50,000 range.
The Exige, unveiled at the Geneva Motorshow in March 2004, has just recently passed its federally required crash testing, and has been undergoing extreme climate testing on U.S. soil.
This will be the second model spun off the Elise, following the circuit car announced earlier this year.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE -- The president of the Gwinnett Football League has been charged in a contentious rental dispute that previously led to the arrest of his father and another business associate.
Erik Richards -- the longtime leader of the GFL, a youth football organization with 19 member associations across the county -- was arrested Monday and charged with one count of felony theft by taking. He was indicted on the charge in late April, along with his father, Charles Richards; mother, Hilda Richards; and associate, Alan Polson.
The allegations date back to August, when a Gwinnett-based ministry renting space owned by the elder Richards and managed by his son filed reports claiming their goods had been stolen.
Duluth police officers were originally called to the property at 3560 Buford Highway on Aug. 22 when the leader of Meet the Need Ministries, a group that seeks to help local men struggling with addiction and homelessness, reported that her organization had been locked out of the space it was renting as a thrift store. Jane Alvarez, the ministry's executive director, said that Polson, a fellow tenant in the building, was "actually inside the store selling the (ministry's) donated goods without the permission or knowledge of the ministry."
When confronted, Polson reportedly said he was getting rid of the ministry's things at the request of the building's owner, Charles Richards, who lives in Florida. He said that Richards "wanted all the stuff removed from the thrift store, because someone else wanted to rent it and the painters needed to get in," according to an incident report.
Polson said he only sold about $150 worth of merchandise but gave away much more. Estimates by ministry staff accounts included $13,151 in missing merchandise, from TVs and baby cribs to a chandelier, washer and dryer and church pews.
Erik Richards, who reportedly manages the property for his parents, told police that the facility had been rented out on a month-to-month basis, "knowing that it was a nonprofit and he was trying to help them out." Over the months, though, rent payments reportedly grew scarce and Richards changed the locks and wouldn't allow Alvarez access to the building.
Charles Richards and Polson were charged and arrested in September, but Erik Richards and his mother, who jail records show had not yet been arrested, were not charged until last month's indictments were brought down. It was unclear Wednesday what, if any, new developments led to the additional charges.
Records show Erik Richards was released Monday on $2,950 bond. He did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
All four suspects are due for arraignment on May 28.

Sears Retail - Success
EMC lighting technology expertise helped guide Sears to the Lithonia product line, and ultimately to the ES8R conversion kit. The ES8R reduced the energy use per fixture by 35%, and improved light levels throughout the store.
62.4 Million kWh Saved to Date
Improving the Customer Experience
With annual revenues of more than $50 billion, Sears® is the nation's fourth-largest retailer. The parent company of Kmart® and Sears, Roebuck and Co., Sears is known for its Kenmore, Craftsman, DieHard, Lands' End and Joe Boxer brands. The retailer wanted to improve aesthetics and maximize energy savings at stores across the country.
Minimizing Impact on Customers
Escalating energy costs and an increasingly competitive retail environment prompted Sears to undertake major renovations in many of its stores. Key improvements focused on energy-saving and cost-sensitive lighting that would also significantly improve the customer's shopping experience. The retailer required a quick and easy installation that would minimize the project impact on store operations, employees and sales. Finding a product to meet these requirements, in addition to overcoming the challenges of installation in an open store, led Sears to the new ES8/ES8R products from Lithonia Lighting.
Attracting Customers
EMC provided guidance as Sears chose Lithonia Lighting's ES8™ and ES8R™ High Performance T8 lighting for their store renovations. The two-lamp T8 luminaires offer the perfect solution to Sears' key challenges. Appropriate retail lighting design will attract customers and help them assess merchandise with ease resulting in increased retail sales.
"We have noticed the quality of the lighting has brought the store to life. The seasonal colors are much brighter than last year due to the new lights. The merchandise has a pop to it, bringing things to life throughout the sales floor. The store guests have made positive comments about the store. This is due in part to the brightness and warmth the new lighting provides,"
Bill Breeden, Operations Manager.
Product Development Partnership
After installation, Sears found the ES8 and ES8R lighting fixtures from Lithonia Lighting to be the perfect solution for their retail facilities. The combination of light quality and energy savings could not be matched elsewhere. By working with EMC, Lithonia Lighting was also able to further develop the ES8/ES8R offering with an innovative retrofit assembly kit that accommodates several existing fixtures. EMC's audits and site reviews provided Lithonia Lighting key pieces of information to assist in the development and deployment of the ES8R kits. This allowed Sears to reduce its overall project expenses while still realizing the unparalleled lighting improvements that the ES8 and ES8R could provide. Sears was able to create a brighter, more natural lighting environment, while reducing energy use compared to other lighting systems.

First, the chart. Yes, that chart..
In case you just got off a slow boat from china, the gray graph on the left represent the Bush deficit from 2000 – 2008. The pink bars on the right represent the Obama deficit from '09 to '19, while the red bard represent the Congressional Budget Office's projections for the same time period.
In 2008, the Bush deficit was just over $400 billion, and the left was absolutely rabid in their attacks on Bush for his 'out of control spending'. Yet, Barack Obama has quadrupled the deficit in just a few short months, to the tune if 1.85 TRILLION dollars, and the left is somehow fine with it.
Well, I'm not, and neither should you be.
Obama's deficit does include the failed (as of this writing) Stimulus and TARP programs but does not include healthcare reform, estimated to add at minimum another trillion dollars to the federal budget over the next ten years.
The misuse of TARP funds alone should have every single one of us demanding the discontinuation of the TARP program; both it and the equally failed stimulus program can still be stopped.
In an article at heritage.org, Senator Mike Johanns of Nebraska has this to say about TARP:
TARP has become a license for government to experiment with private business. How do you think the original TARP vote would have gone back in September if members knew then what they know now? Remember, TARP was first presented as a toxic asset purchasing program to revive financial markets and to get credit flowing to consumers. That is what Congress approved. That's all Congress approved. Then it became a blank check for failing banks; and the struggling insurance giant AIG; and the floundering housing market.
Despite a December vote by Congress that rejected a bailout of the auto industry, TARP is now being used to bankroll the auto industry. How could anyone have predicted that an original plan to buy up toxic assets would be warped and twisted into the revolving slush fund it is today? People would have looked at me in disbelief if I had said – just a few months ago – that TARP funds would be used to buy General Motors. All this is happening without Congressional approval.
Or, how about this from Judicial Watch:
A few months ago TARP Inspector General Neil Barofsky published a scathing report revealing that the financial bailout has little oversight, is severely mismanaged and "inherently vulnerable to fraud, waste and abuse." That preliminary probe led to at least 20 criminal investigations—for securities fraud, tax law violations and mortgage modification fraud—and Barofsky predicted the risk would only grow.
Now the Obama Administration is blocking Barofsky, a former federal prosecutor in New York, from further investigating what he has determined to be a troubling experiment of U.S. tax dollars. The president's Treasury Secretary delayed at least one recent inquiry and has evidently determined that the agency (Treasury Department) Barofsky is charged with watching has legal authority over his office, which clearly threatens its independence.
The most transparent administration ever.
This president is a disgrace; his reckless fiscal policies will – by incompetence or by design, you make the call – bring our country to a state of ruin that we may never be able to undo.
People are waking up though. Congress is choking on the real-life costs and implications of this insane healthcare reform scam that O is trying to shove down our throats in that Obama Rush we all know so well. People are pissed and senators and congressmen alike are starting to see their job security slipping away. More encouraging though, just today I spoke with a staunch Obama supporter who now acknowledges and understands – at least to a degree – what this administration's real agenda is. Two major factors in this person's 'awakening', aside from the obvious problems of the deficit, rapidly rising unemployment, ACORN, and Obama's brazen doubletalk on practically every single issue he confronts, were
- a burgeoning knowledge of the cloward-piven strategy which, when overlaid on this administration's actions to date and stated goals, pulls back the curtain like nothing else, and
- this simple speech by Ronald Reagan, which I'll post again now because it's -just- -that- -good- and applies to the current situation perfectly. Perfectly.
Also today, Obama's Rasmussen approval numbers dipped into negative territory for the first time ever.
While this hardly makes Obama toxic, the more negatives he can generate – and he will generate the negatives because he simply can't hide who he really is from the masses for very much longer – the less chance he will have of ramming destructive policy after destructive policy through, and the less chance he will have of imposing his radical socialist agenda on, and thereby destroying, the greatest country in the world.
God bless America, and save us from this president.

Air Force announces OTS selection boards results
A total of 283 men and women from across America have earned an opportunity to become Air Force leaders following their selection for an officer's commission, officials announced May 29.
Air Force Recruiting Service officials considered 960 applications as part of the Officer Training School Non-Rated Selection Board 12OT02.
With the board's selection rate of 28.4 percent, 273 applicants were selected to serve as Air Force officers. Of the 273 selected, 123 enlisted members earned the chance to attend OTS and trade their stripes for gold bars as second lieutenants.
Additionally, Air Force Recruiting Service officials considered 62 weather officer applications as part of the OTS Non-Rated Weather officer selection board 12OTCAD. With the board's selection rate of 16.13 percent, 10 applicants were selected to serve as weather officers. Of the 10 selected, seven enlisted members earned the chance to attend OTS and trade their stripes for gold bars as second lieutenants.
Development team to select chief nurses in June
Lieutenant colonel and lieutenant colonel-select nurses interested in chief nurse opportunities must ensure their Airman Development Plan is up to date and statement of intent is submitted by the June 11 suspense, Air Force Personnel Center officials said.
The nurse corps development team will convene in June to select qualified candidates for 2013 worldwide openings, said Col. Lorrie Cappellino, AFPC Nurse Utilization and Education Branch chief.
"Interest in chief nurse positions is always high, and with the limited number of available positions, selection is very competitive and eligibility requirements are stringent,†Cappellino said.
Applicants should have leadership experience above the element level, national nursing administration certification, and have completed development education appropriate for their rank, Cappellino said. In addition, a master's degree is mandatory as are various administrative criteria such as minimum time on station.
Guard, Reserve leaders discuss budget issues
The military's reserve components remain ready and capable despite budget cuts and their transition from a strategic to operational force, senior National Guard and Reserve officials told the Senate Appropriations Committee's defense subcommittee May 23 in Washington D.C.
As the drawdown continues in Afghanistan, the Guard and Reserve will maintain deployment-ready units undeterred by force structure changes such as the Air National Guard's end strength reduction by 5,100 billets and aircraft inventory reduction by 134 aircraft, Gen. Craig McKinley, the National Guard Bureau chief, told the senators.
For example, McKinley said, the Air National Guard's partnership with more than 60 foreign countries has strengthened the component's military capacity and competence.
Lt. Gen. Harry Wyatt III, the Air National Guard director, said 22 partner nations have provided 11,000 troops to Afghanistan, and 40 partner nations have provided more than 31,000 personnel in support of U.N. peacekeeping operations. Last year, Guard Airmen filled about 54,000 requests for manpower, he added, noting that 91 percent of those requests were fulfilled with volunteers.
New, lighter ABU available at Luke in June
The new Rip-stop Airman Battle Uniform, featuring a lighter nylon-cotton blend, will be available to Airmen at 16 U.S. bases and through AAFES online now.
The wear policy for the light-weight RABUs will be exactly the same as for the ABUs. The only difference between the ABU and the RABU is the material.
The change to the new material will make the RABU lighter and cooler, but it's also treated with a wrinkle-resistant finish, she said.
The RABU will completely replace the old, heavier ABU.
In addition to Luke, the clothing sales locations to receive the uniforms first are:
Cannon Air Force Base, N.M., Davis-Monthan AFB, Eglin AFB, Fla., Goodfellow AFB, Texas, Holloman AFB, N.M., Joint Base Andrews, Md., Joint Base Charleston, S.C., Keesler AFB, Miss., Kirtland AFB, N.M., MacDill AFB, Fla., Maxwell AFB, Ala., Moody AFB, Ga., Nellis, AFB, Nev., Patrick AFB, Fla., and Tinker AFB, Okla.

Bob that sounds fantastic... In the way that the best gigs are usually the ones that no-one else comes to.

Thanks to everyone who said that the John Cage on a train thing sounded like a good idea. I just got back and it was just the grandest day out - will do a full writeup soon.

Fuck it... I'm gonna write this up now before I forget. Apologies if this is just too long but it was six hours of stuff.
So... today I went to 'Take The Cage Train', an event which involved hustling a bunch of musicians onto a train ride from Bologna to the mountains in order to commemorate an event 30 years ago when John Cage hustled a bunch of musicians onto a train ride from Bologna to the mountains. It was a commemoration and not a recreation so the music was inspired by Cage rather than composed by him... I know next to nothing about Mr Cage so I've no idea how successful the event was in this regard.
Bologna Station - 13:45
I arrive at the station and straightaway feel like I've walked into one of those oldtime film reels showing Edwardian factory workers catching the holiday train to the seaside. People are waving Cage Train tickets and running between the not-yet-open train and the start of the platform, where some musicians are wielding horns, flutes, saxes, and a couple of marching band drums in accompaniment to a shimmying castanet dancer. She's great... not wearing any fancy stage clothes, just a black skirt and black Tshirt, grinning without any self-consciousness, and bringing people into the circle to dance with her. One of the musicians looks just like Coldforge. This is very distracting.
I'm a little disappointed that the train is a modern regional train, since Italy has such atmospheric old regional trains with windows scratched into opacity and proper curtains filtering out half of whatever light gets through. But the modern trains have the advantage of not being divided into compartments, which is important to allow the musicians to move through the carriages to play. The luggage rails are lined with cables and there is a tape recorder hanging up in every carriage. A welcome is given over the tannoy and the train begins to move.
On Board
I don't know what I'd been expecting from this event, but I think something with a lot of contact mics taped to the engine and much banging upon the different surfaces of the train carriage... something that took advantage of the sounds of the train. This doesn't happen, except in an abstract way, inasmuch as it's really hard to make joyful sax-led free improv, augmented by loop-loving bassists, and a giant trombone, without things eventually getting all evocative of the clattering energy of trains, which is what, in fact, happens.
I don't have the vocabulary to describe the on-board music, which was played between every stop... I didn't even realise that it was physically possible to get sounds like that out of those instruments, let alone knowing the words to describe them. So the on-board music is just moments without context... everybody cheering at the end of a duel between a saxophonist and a trumpet-player, one trilling and trilling as fast as any violinist's bow, the other spewing out an endless swelling ectoplasm of brass and breath. Watching the bassist in our carriage, here playing the simplest of riffs, now locking his arms around his instrument and letting a percussive frenzy fall, and finally, turning a few dials on one of his pedals to produce a sax-y sound and hitting the loops, everyone outplayed but himself.
Sasso Marconi - 14:54
First stop. The train musicians form a gauntlet along the sides of the small ticket hall, blowing people through with noisy fanfares as they walk from the platform, through the ticket hall, and into the small square outside the train station where I can see a grand piano, a cellist, and a lot of the backs of people's heads. This is the least memorable train stop. It's not that different from the train music, but nobody can see anything.
Vergato - 15:36
A local marching band fans out along the length of the platform, looking very snazzy in a uniform of contrasting blues. They face the train, playing a single note every now and again. I watch the marching band playing their note. They play it again. I hope they will not play this note for the full hour that we are scheduled to be here. They play it again. A fellow passenger grins at me, holds up a glass of red wine, and indicates that more booze is to be found just outside the station. The square outside the station has a little fountain and a long table full of drinks, which volunteers are handing out free to Cage Train passengers. Free prosecco! That's more like it. The marching band make their way to the square and begin playing songs to which I know only the English words, although there are people singing the Italian words... Roll Out The Barrel, I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside. A conga line tentatively forms and then fades away.
The train musicians are chilling out with their prosecco like the rest of us but, after a while, they drift towards the marching band with their instruments. The band leader holds his clarinet in the air as a signal. A grey-haired man on the edge of the circle blows into a steel horn, curled like a seashell. And the train musicians are playing now around the recognisable songs. Then the man with the shell is half-conducting and half-just-outright-dervish-dancing at the marching band, who ditch the standards and come to meet the train musicians on their own ground, jittering and juddering and crashing with the dancing man. It's a big, big sound. Even though this is clearly not this band's usual fare, they really get into the improv and it's awesome to hear. Back to the train!
Poretta Terme - 16:59
Food! Mushrooms! Gli Alpini!
Tables without chairs have been set up outside the station and we line up to receive our polenta with mushrooms, ladled directly into one compartment of a plastic tray, together with a bright red gingerbready cake and a bottle of water. Bottles of red wine await us at the dining tables, where we stand and eat.
The food is served by old dudes wearing green hats with feathers in them. They are the Alpini and, even as I am standing in line waiting for the food, people are breaking out into spontaneous cheers of "Vive gli Alpini!" and "Vive la resistenza!" A girl turns to me and says "that's the trouble with Bologna and living in the city - we don't have the Alpini." She explains that the Alpini are like mountain soldiers or mountain rangers and that, during the Second World War, lots of the resistance fighting took place in the hills and mountains, especially in the north where we are, and the Alpini were heavily partisan. There is clearly a lot of affection, pride and respect for these dudes still and people keep cheering now and then throughout dinner. At the end of the dinner, the Alpini (eight or nine of them) sing some of their songs, unaccompanied, and everyone cheers until they sing a couple more. None of them are great singers, they have old rough voices, and they don't try any fancy harmonies and, of course, it fits perfectly.
We cross back underneath the platforms to exit via the other side of the station where we wait outside a small theatre until the doors open to allow us to take our seats. The train musicians are on the theatre stage, except for a couple who're walking along the aisles, bouncing basketballs. It kinda sucks to see them all lined up for the first time, must be a dozen if not more, and to realise that, with an even gender split in the audience, there's not a single woman on that stage. Oh well.
Like the first station stop in Sasso Marconi, the theatre performance isn't nearly as engaging as the train music, even though it's the same musicians. I guess it's partly that there's a more anarchic and interesting atmosphere created by allowing the musicians to play unsupervised by the curator/conductor on the train (at one point in our carriage, two saxophonists, having blown their guts out playing with the bassist, begged for a break and, when the bassist just grinned and kept playing, they called him crazy and said 'see ya later'). I think also that the train music is so engaging because... the sounds themselves aren't as arresting as the techniques behind them and, on the close cramped quarters of a train, the sounds are separated out and tied to individual instruments. When he's all the way up there on stage, playing with a small orchestra of other instruments, it's hard to believe that it's really the accordion-player getting those sounds out of that instrument. But when he's standing right next to you by the sliding doors of the train carriage and there's just one other musician in earshot, you have to believe it and you have to just fucking light up with wonder to hear it. Back to the train!
Casalecchio di Reno - 19:52
We get to Casalecchio around 8pm. The sun hasn't set but the sky is turning grey and this adds to the trapped-in-a-dream vibe created by the dancers on the platform as we watch them watching us through the carriage windows. I don't know if they can hear music on the platform - we hear only the music coming from the train musicians. No vocabulary to describe the choreography except that, at the end of the dance, they run towards the front of the train, out of the sight afforded by our windows. We see them again only as the train is pulling out of the station... they've slipped into a freezeframe, looking forward in the direction in which our train is travelling with shock on their faces. I wish I could convey quite how disturbingly great this was.
Back To Bologna - 20:05
As we pull into Bologna Centrale station, our carriage bassist finally puts down his bass and lets his layers of loops play on, as he leans back in his seat, arms behind his head, job done. There is much applause and cheering and then, with very little ceremony, we get off the train and go our separate ways. It's only on the bus home that I realise I have spent six hours on a train in Italy without once hearing a mobile phone ringing.
Things I Have Learned
Free improv should always take place on trains. John Cage liked mushrooms. The Alpini are much-loved. It's gonna suck if we have to wait another 30 years to do that again.

So I helped put together a rock show and it went awesome!
To rep everyone involved, in the order they appeared...
Plan B
are an indie pop band. They played short one guitarist but still put on a great show - one thing that isn't captured in their recordings quite properly is that their drummer pounds the living fuck out of his kit, a really sort of intense, precise, muscular playing. Great to watch.
Nick from
The Goddamn Shame
played a solo set and had a couple of kinks to work out in terms of sound, being as it was his first solo electric show. The dude has a very strong command of fuzz guitar, and he writes excellent songs. I'm going to see The Goddamn Shame play as a whole band next weekend, at long last. I've been trying to since before I was old enough to get into the places they were playing.
The Loyal Divide
are a band that Leopold & Loeb played a show with back in March, and they throw down insanely hard. It's five guys (two who sing) trading off guitars and drum machines and keyboards and samplers, making this big pulsing dancey psychedelic sound. Just go see them goddammit.
Begin By Gathering Supplies
closed things out. They have a guitarist/singer and a guy working a beat machine. They shoegaze. They do it well. They make sounds I can hear in my organs.

So I went to the Knife Fight gig the other night.
First up were the Beanies. Didn't care for them.
The Stood Up played there last show the for at least 5 months and probably ever. They were pretty entertaining in their usual messy manner.
Knife Fight once again blew me away. I've seen them play better but they still brought a massive amount of volume and dirty punk. They have 3 7"s on the way before the ned of the year. I'm happy.
Bloody Souls were they're dependable selves.
The awesomeness struck at the end of the night. Brendan (Knife Fight drummer) and Andrew (Bloody Souls guitar/vocals) reformed The Hasselhoff Experiment for about 25 mins. They played there first show in 10 years or so last weekend in Wellington as a one-off for a b'day party and were talked into doing it up here as well at the last minute. Had a big ol dance i did.
Then things got a bit crazy at various points on K'rd but I somehow made it home in one piece.

Okay I have a little time to kill so I'll tell you all about the Pumice show last week.
It was as I thought across the street from the place where that Kemialliset show was, even if not immediately apparent... eventually the old trick of following some hip looking people walking behind a dark building payed off and we found the place (only after climbing past these old brick structures with strange plants along some silent green-black river).
mmm, anyway BLUE SHIFT started it off well with her frayed violin shredding, slowly building from the pot-luck atmosphere to something more intense... That being XERXES, who segued directly from soundcheck into their song. and this song was a monster of barreling drone-rock: single-minded guitar and viola swarm and bass delay punctuated by drumming something like Om's more active moments. I really liked it, the band name is fitting in a 300 the movie kind of way, this relentless assault, but not as aggressive as that suggests.
after that a set by a violin/accordion duo from vermont somewhere. a kind of gently tweaked paris cafe music sound. Didn't catch their name but they covered a zappa song. fun set.
PUMICE played next, feet on the kick snare and high hat, hands on the little homemade-style guitar difficult was talking about (don't call it a ukulele). He also had a box of cassettes and a tape player that he may or may not have run his vocals through. however he did he got this great unintelligible muffled fuzzy sound. He played a lot of those mumbly crumbly galbraith kind of songs, some rockers, and a long noise piece that eventually became a song. Very cool. bought a rad yellow t-shirt.
I thought he would be last but there was more! GOAT OF ARMS, was an accordion-drums duo with a just-formed-the-band sound, stumbling through little bursts of song in an endearing way.
aaaaand, then MUDBOY blew our minds away. A self-billed experimental organ player, the other songs I'd heard from him were more in that circus/spooky organ vein, but this was a lot more ominous and sedate. He suspended these two little pulsing purple LEDs from the ceiling and turned off all the other lights, so there was this throbbing minimal light show throughout the performance. The first piece started of with sparse kick beat and deadpan vocal (I remember bits like "Mr cotton was a sack of bones / inside the sack of bones it was slimy and wet") but the simple tone gave it this creepy quality. Presumable organ sounds started to pile up with occasional bursts of noise (always telegraphed by this line about some Mozart tape). After a while it settled down a bit and Stefan Neville and the Guitar player from Xerxes slowly joined in for this improv ending with a lot of tapes and who knows which person is making what sound. Then we stumbled out of the building and were harassed by the cop with stadium lights on his car, but whatever. cool show.

last night i did a two-fer...first was Mark Kozelek w/ Marissa Nadler opening, at the Museum of Fine Arts. when i got there, i found out that Kozelek has prohibited any and all photography, so i just shoot Marissa's set. she's confounded me by having 4 mic stands all around her, each set up w/ a varying levels of delay. she only seemed to use 2, which was a bit maddening. anyway, she's got that eldritch, haunting vocal style, somewhat reminiscent of a younger stevie nicks at times. open-tuning playing, pretty songs. did a cover of 'I'm On Fire' (this seems to be a popular song to cover...over the last year i've also seen Electrelane and Micah Blue Smalldone cover it).
Kozelek gets on stage, along w/ one other guitar player. they play very competently, and mark's got a nice tenor, but the songs are lacking something...i feel that mark eitzel covers the same sort of ground but much more convincingly. worked in a cover of genesis' 'follow you, follow me' which didn't make me like the song any greater. his stage presence was *very* low-key but the audience back-and-forth between guitar tunings was somewhat entertaining...he made an astute observation (well, it's not a novel observation by any means) about what a weird lifestyle being a traveling musician is; drive in a car w/ the other guy for hours and don't say a word, get out and play in front of a few hundred people who you don't know, lather rinse and repeat.
hopped in the car, got lost a bit in roxbury but got over to the Midway in time to see the In/Out playing...good local band w/ strong Fall tendencies. the singer sounds like a sideways-cross between MES and J Richman. The Cannanes get on stage a bit after 11 and play a lovely set of the sort of indie guitar stuff that i love so much, but that seems to have gone horribly out of style...somewhat unorthodox lineup; guitar and drums, but also a singer/keyboardist/flautist, and a trumpet player/singer. great stuff.
i saw my friend Leslie there (ex-Popwatch honcho) and chatted w/ a friend of hers who turned out to be the girlfriend of Tim, the AxCx drummer. he was there as well, and had some interesting stories to tell me about Seth Putnam and being in AC. he got on stage for the Cannanes encore to lend a hand on the maracas.

Zoso, a Zeppelin cover band. (A friend's band opened, and Zeppelin was rad.)
They more or less duplicate the originals, for better or for worse. The singer made a comment about trying to be more than that, but I didn't hear it. Besides, ain't no shame in playing a strong "The Ocean."
Visually, it was tough to watch the show and not think of David St. Hubbins et al.
The most interesting part of the show is the crowd they drew-- fratty dudes, fifty-something dudes who are still rockin' the p-tail and their ladies, lonely-lookin' thirty-something dudes (Hi there!) and kinda-sorta metal (the sort that wears shirts for bands I recognize) dudes. In short, dudes. My favorite dude was a fifty-something guy who made the scene dressed as Golf Dad. Tiger Woods polo tucked in, Bermuda shorts, and white sneaks. While the rest of his cohort was trying to bring back the glory days with their faded jeans and black tees, Golf Dad kept it real. Respect.
Love is awesome and has only Darko to fight for rebounds.

The distinctive hop character of our 5 Barrel Pale Ale is due to the extraction of essential oils from select hops. We treat 5 Barrel Pale Ale to an infusion of fresh whole hop flowers in the Hop Back and the Fermentor, as well as four hop additions during the kettle boil. We like how this gives the beer a fresh, lively flavor and aroma.
