The below article url was sent to me in answer to questions concerning Barack Obama in my ongoing image of him as a "Trojan Horse" for the people behind him who have promoted him into political office, as a result of his work as a community organizer for Bill Ayers and the Chicago Annenberg Challenge in Chicago. All these people are named in the article, published by The National Review, written by Stanley Kurtz, entitled "Wright 101 – Obama funded Extremist Afrocentrists who shared Rev. Wright's Anti-Americanism". The names include Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Black Muslims in America. (One primary connection to Obama's political agenda is *not included *in this article, and it concerns Obama's ties to people involved in the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac finance debacle for America just weeks before America's Presidential Election of November 4, 2008.)
My suggestion is to print out this article, to read carefully during a quiet time hopefully soon, because the content is crucial to understanding why anyone could even think that Barack Obama is a Trojan Horse for a greater, hidden extremist agenda to "Change" America away from our democratic-republic heritage and universal principles embedded within the U.S. Constitution.
As further introduction, there is much more to the extremist conglomerate of personalities behind Obama's political career and now his run for the U.S. Presidency, and it involves Obama's own personal background and the serious question of his true national origin and formative years as a young Muslim in Kenya, attending Muslim schools, studying the traditional religion of Islam. However, it is true in and of itself that this educational and religious background alone is consistent with the moderate view of the Islam religion that Americans hold and respect in America today, as it should be.
More recently, though, there is documentation of a dark Islamic agenda that is involved with Obama now, as first discussed by Dr. Jerome Corsi in his New York Times Best Seller, The Obama Nation – Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, and further in recent weeks from Corsi's personal fact-finding trip to Kenya earlier this October 2008, when from London afterwards he reported that he had been personally handed literally at least 25 copies of emails between Barack Obama during his Presidential Campaign for Election 2008 and Prime Minister Nenya Jaramogi Oginga Odinga; additionally, Corsi reported that he was also handed other significant documents including a cell-phone list of phone-calls between Obama and Odinga personally.
Odinga is said to be a first cousin to Obama, a nephew to Obama's father; however, due to Corsi's documentation, as well, there is more than a family connection involving Prime Minister Odinga's ties to both the extremist Islamic and communist agenda's for Kenya, with a signed agreement of promise from Odinga to the people behind him for his desire to become President of Kenya. Barack Obama's communications, reported as advising and mentoring Odinga personally as to how to conduct himself and his campaign in order to become elected the next Kenya President, reflects upon Obama's own purposes for extending himself so significantly favoring Odinga's extremist political ambitions for Kenya even during the American Democrat primaries leading up to U.S. Election 2008.
That is, there is a clear international tenor now surrounding Obama's run for the U.S. Presidency for purposes of more than his rhetoric of "Change" he promises for America; this distinction of the Odinga-Obama political campaigns is found to extend into the broader world of the international Islamic agenda sourced in Arab nations, where Arabs on the street know Obama's name and speak it with reverence, for they know Obama's promise that they express openly about him amongst themselves for Islam worldwide–but clearly his promise for the "Change" they expect from him for Islam, is unfortunately tainted by the very promise of Odinga himself, signed in writing to the extremist Islamic and communist agenda in Kenya, according to two Corsi audio radio interviews from London, after Corsi's release from detention by the government of Kenya under Odinga.
Even Libya's leader Gaddafi discusses Obama as a "Muslim Brother" and as commonly recognized by the "Arab world" whom he addresses in a public video online today. The video speech of Gaddafi, where he is seen and heard explaining and consoling his public audience, demonstrates specifically the real "promise" felt about Obama in the Arab world, and one must hear it for themselves to fully comprehend this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSemkPChvHo&feature=related ; indeed Gaddafi is explaining and consoling here his people's fears and concerns because of Barack Obama's political statements he made here in his American political campaign that are clearly contrary to "the promise" these people have felt about Obama in behalf of a Muslim world agenda, should Obama become U.S. President. It clearly is a promise now tainted by the extremist Islamic and communist agenda of Prime Minister Odinga of Kenya, filled already with a history of violence and death, who is now also on record as being in close, intimate communication with Barack Obama in America during his own political campaign for the presidency.
So not only do we have in America today a clear connection of Barack Obama with Rev. Wright and the Extremist Afrocentrists and the Bill Ayers Marxist agendas, we also have Obama's personal interconnection with the worldwide extremist Islamic agenda. And there is one final note: let us not forget Obama's clear ongoing connection under the Bill Ayer's Chicago Annenberg Challenge, representing, teaching and sponsoring members of ACORN; it is also on public record now for 2008 election registration fraud in battleground states, which may contribute to the subsequent election of Barack Obama for the U.S. presidency. Obama continues to deny and distance himself from the Ayer's connection, and the current ACORN involvement even though he contributed from his Presidential Campaign, $800,000 to ACORN. Americans are at a crucial crossroads now urgent, where a sound choice will be made in the ballot box either one way or the other affecting America's democratic heritage of freedom, and the outcome is as near as the votes recorded in the November 4 Election of 2008–demanding that no truly registered voter should stay home, trusting to others, and not vote in this one.

"We didn't really know quite what was going on, but we made sure we had tea and coffee to give to the people who came to the hall." Villagers in shock at Buxton bomb scare
PUBLISHED: 08:37 03 September 2012 | UPDATED: 11:49 03 September 2012
Archant Norfolk
Bomb disposal experts were sent to a Norfolk village and six homes evacuated after a suspicious device was found underneath a car.
A member of the public in Buxton, near Aylsham, called police just after 11am yesterday (Sunday) to say that there was some sort of device underneath their car.
A 100-metre cordon was put in place around the vehicle, in Coltishall Road, and six homes were evacuated for public safety.
The people who were forced to leave their homes were taken to Buxton Village Hall.
Explosive Ordnance Disposal officers were called to the scene to determine the nature of the device and to make sure there is no danger to people in the village.
As of 7.45pm last night, they were still at the scene.
A spokesman for Norfolk police said: "There is no indication that the wider public were in any danger.
"This is being treated as an isolated incident, targeted at a particular individual and is not being believed to posed a threat any other member of public."
Val Nichols, chairman of Buxton Village Hall, said: "I got a call and opened up the village hall. We had a family of four in there and another couple, plus a lady who came in wanting some water for her dog.
"I assume the other people who were evacuated from their homes went to their relatives. "We didn't really know quite what was going on, but we made sure we had tea and coffee to give the people who came to the hall."

Vigano made the remarks at the start of a national bishops meeting in Baltimore. It's the first such assembly since Pope Francis was elected and asked bishops to focus more on mercy than hot-button political issues. Many Catholics are watching for any change in the bishops' tone.
New York Cardinal Timothy Dolan is ending his term as president of the bishops' conference. He urged church leaders to make religious freedom abroad their defining issue. He said religious freedom challenges in the U.S. pale in comparison to what Christians face overseas.

Thirteen V.B.S. students had perfect attendance. They were Colin Fleming, Asa Murray, McKenzie Murray, Brady Roy, Ronnie Joe Clouse, Hadassah Fitzgerald, Andrew Fitzgerald, Lane Clouse, Charity Bagley, Jackson Fleming, Mea Mason, Cassidy Kilgore, and Harley Kilgore. Sister Cinda Thompson enlisted the help of her father-in-law and her husband to put up a banner for Vacation Bible School on their front lawn.
At the close of the Sunday school session, John Venezia gave a brief summary on the lesson. Then Pastor Bob Thompson, Jr. played the organ while he and his wife sang a duet that had been requested. Brother Bob Thompson, Sr. was commemorating his spiritual birthday; he was saved in Barry County 75 years ago this week.
There were eight musicians in the orchestra Sunday morning: Charles Murray (baritone), Norman Murray (baritone), Jesse Paxton (trombone), Pastor Bob (accordion), Ann Cox (flute), Dana Fourman (trumpet), Debbie Cox (organ), and Barbara Uhles (piano). Ushers were James Cox and John Dale. Visitors included Karolyn Garrett, Lyndra and Blake Cantrell, Charles and Melina Murray, Asa and McKenzie Murray, Elijah Young and Jacob Stewart.
Pastor Bob Thompson, Jr. preached on "A Precious Pearl and Pattern of Prayer" from Psalm 61. "Hear my cry, O God; attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. I will abide in thy tabernacle for ever: I will trust in the covert of thy wings…so will I sing praise unto thy name for ever: that I may daily perform my vows." This psalm was written during Absalom's rebellion and David's exile. Whatever our circumstances today we can feel, trust, and pray with David. The petition: "I will cry." The position: "I will abide." The purpose: "I will trust." The praise: "I will sing."
On Sunday evening, the special song was by Brian Haynes. Pastor Bob was at the Brush Arbor Church of God (holiness) to speak about his mission trip to Ghana. So our co-pastor Cinda Thompson brought the message in that service. It was entitled, "Islam, an Overview." Isalam was born in the Middle East well after Christianity had been established. Moslems say that Abraham was the first Moslem; they trace their roots to Ishmael, the son of Abraham. They believe in the god Allah and his prophet Mohammed. They strive to make a pilgrimage to Mecca, Mohammed's birth place. And they fast, especially during Ramadan. Mohammed was an orphan who couldn't read or write. He was a trader and married a wealthy widow. Later he married a six year-old girl. He would go to a cave to contemplate, and there he claimed to get a message from Gabriel. The Moslems were the leading dealers in the slave trade before Europe become involved in it.
In the Wednesday evening service, Sister Cinda led several choruses. Then Pastor Bob began a laymen's class on apologetics "Beyond Reasonable Doubt." Plans were made for Campus Clean-Up in preparation for the annual Camp Meeting which will be August 24-31. Services will be held at 10:30 a.m. and 7:30 p.m. each day.

Nearly 200 years of Barnham history was ended in less than two minutes.
Councillors approved the conversion of the village's 19th century windmill into housing.
There was no debate when it was the turn of the application by mill owner Barry Lee to be approved by Arun District Council's development
control committee last Wednesday (Jan 16).
Committee chairman Cllr Jean Goad made the only comment when she stated: "It's a sad day, I think, but the application is the best that can be done."
And that was it. The vote was taken in favour of the housing.
The required listed building consent to reflect the mill's status as a grade two listed building then took around 45 seconds to agree.
The mill will be turned into one house, the outbuildings, which included the former tearooms, will become two more houses and an existing house on the site was also included in the application.
Council planning officer Keith Wheway told the committee a legal agreement would ensure the restoration, retention and maintenance of the mill.
The deal included the sail, cap and fantail of the mill and the equipment contained within it.
Efforts by Mr Lee in the past two years to sell the mill on Yapton Road had been unsuccessful. "On this basis, it is considered that the principle of residential use is acceptable subject to consideration of normal development criteria...," he stated.
A strong objection to the proposal had been made by the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. It stated the scheme would stop what was the only remaining example of a restorable tower windmill in West Sussex ever being restored to anything like its working condition.
Mills have existed on the site since 1086. The current mill has been a landmark in Barnham for 179 years.
Mr Lee bought it in 1994 after the structure was rescued from an uncertain future in 1989 by Eastergate man Vic May.
He mortgaged his house to outbid property developers and make the mill's restoration his ambition.
But he was unable to fulfil his dream and Mr Lee took over the ambition.
He spent 350,000 on extensive renovation. Among the work was the restoration of the sweeps – or sails – to give a traditional look to the building once again.
He opened tea rooms and a function room to serve villagers.
But a dispute over the cost of parking land caused him to shut the attraction in September 2005.

The Bible in Pictures(published in Dresden in 1852-60), Schnorr von Carosfeld's most famous work, included 240 woodcut illustrations and took him some forty years to complete.
This drawing illustrates a passage from the Old Testament, when the prophet Elijah implores God to heal a widow's child. The widow prays in the background while in the foreground the child extends both arms, miraculously coming back to life as God answers Elijah's plea. The rigorous economy of line and the masterful manipulation of light and shade give the composition a strong visual impact.

it is a truth universally acknowledged that a man who wants to score with chicks must wear a good pair of shoes. She may not be her hair, but you are your shoes.
However, once you get the right pair shoes the panties will be dropping hard and cracking floors everywhere you go. This I have on good authority by the way. Better Half told me that if any guy wants to bang some specific chick, this is what he should do. (not exactly Better Half's words though, I may have paraphrased)
1- Find some glossy hand-made Italian shoes that cost an arm and a kidney
2- Don't even bother with clothes (well, maybe tie a ribbon round your dick. A little showmanship never hurt)
3- Show up at said chick's door like Tantaraaaa!!!
4- Magic will occur
PS: Don't wear white socks. According to Better Half, white socks are suicide.
That is all it takes. Easy isn't it? Unfortunately for me I am not the kind of guy who is going to allow this sort of thing to be imposed on me, not in 2013. Deep down inside I know that I deserve to be chowed for who I truuuuuly am.
Well, either way, here are five footwear for I and I the undiscerning man who wants to keep it real and (somehow) still get the panties to drop.
1- Barefoot.
Crafted by God no less. That dusty stained skin she is looking at is the finest leather by the way. Living leather (pun alert!)to boot. Those cracked soles with ncha-cha galore? Those are customized treads, designed by nature herself. Better Half wants a man who is down to earth does she? I will show her down to earth.
2- Sandles
When Better Half starts sneering ( because she will), I tell her that I forgive her for she knows not what she doing. Jesus was a carpenter who died for her sins. Like sneering.
Yeah, sneering is a sin.
3- Lugabire
It is likely when I show up at her door in lugabire; that she will inquire if I parked my wheelbarrow somewhere safe. Sometimes there is a sense of humor lurking somewhere inside her. It is better therefore, that you do what I do and pre-empt the whole business by showing up with your lugabire AND the wheelbarrow.
There is a time when moccasins were, if not cool, at least coolish. I haven't seen them around in a while. Since like Red Indian days in fact but the truth still is that those things were damn comfortable. And quiet too. No sound at all. Tip toe up to the window, climb in and before she knows it,
Ta da
On this one you are on your own. But wama I believe in you.

I treated myself to a pumice scrubbing stick for the toilet with a HANDLE. Fancy, fancy!
What I really wanted to treat myself to was this patio set at the hardware store that I made the mistake of sitting in and it was HEAVEN. Those chairs was so cush and comfy I wanted to buy a set for the living room and trade in our recliners. LOL But at $699 for the set (four low chairs and a conversation table - wtf, is it gonna talk to me haha) that won't be happening. Every time we go there I'm going to sit in those chairs and dream.

2013 record: 15-11-8 (53 points); 53 GF / 38 GA (+15 GD)
3rd, Western Conference
Team Leaders
Robbie Keane, 16 G
Robbie Keane, 11 A
Jaime Penedo, 0.78 GAA
Carlo Cudicini, 39 SVS
Bruce Arena
The Home Depot Center
The LA Galaxy started 2013 with "three-peat" dreams after winning the previous two MLS Cup championships, but a roller-coaster of a season ended in disappointment when they were ousted one step from a fourth successive Western Conference title appearance.
The Galaxy had troubles at the back, especially on set pieces, and conceded 19 goals from the 75th minute on to drop 15 points that kept the Supporters' Shield from their grasp. And the late struggles also cost them in the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals against Monterrey and in overtime of their Western Conference semifinal loss at Real Salt Lake.
Landon Donovan arrived late after an extended leave of absence and needed time to find his form, and LA lost an integral piece of their attack when they dealt away Mike Magee for the rights to Robbie Rogers, who dealt with myriad injuries and found his game only at season's end.
The Galaxy were rarely the team they wanted to be until the final third of the season, after goalkeeper Jaime Penedo arrived, Donovan moved up top from the wing as a partner for the outstanding Robbie Keane, and Omar Gonzalez – a Designated Player pact signed – took a huge step forward in form. Ultimately, it wasn't enough.
Best Moment of the Year
The Galaxy struggled to find momentum most of this season, but they put together at least four blindingly brilliant performances, and the most meaningful might have been in a 4-2 romp Aug. 17 over visiting Real Salt Lake. Keane netted his second hat trick of the season and Omar Gonzalez nodded home a Donovan corner kick in a blowout not nearly as close as the scoreline suggests. It started LA on a four-game winning streak in all competitions, their longest such stretch of the year.
Worst Moment of the Year
Chris Schuler's goal in overtime of the second-leg playoff loss at Real Salt Lake certainly qualifies, but Magee's departure might have been worse. Magee wanted to go home to Chicago, but by granting that wish, the Galaxy eliminated a vital dimension to their attack and left themselves ill-equipped in their bid for an unprecedented third straight MLS Cup title. Playing primarily up front, Magee already had a team-best six goals when he joined the Fire, where he completed an MVP campaign.
Best Goal
With the Galaxy trailing by a goal in Seattle in the 78th minute of their regular-season finale, and needing at least a draw to snatch the No. 3 seed and avoid the Western Conference's Knockout Round, Keane hit a cunning half-volley so it would bounce off the artificial surface and bound into the right-post netting for a 1-1 tie. "That goal wasn't a mistake or a fluke," associate head coach Dave Sarachan said. "He meant to do what he did, and that tells you how a guy like he can slow things down in the moment."
Team MVP
Keane finished second in the league MVP vote after scoring 16 goals with 11 assists in just 23 regular-season matches – he had 20 goals in all games – and his worth is apparent in the Galaxy's record when he played (12-4-7, with 44-19 goals for/against) and when he wasn't available (3-7-1, 9-19). He's the logical choice, but it's hard to go against central midfielder Marcelo Sarvas, who did the most to keep the ball moving for LA.
Best Move
It wasn't that Italian veteran Carlo Cudicini was a bad goalkeeper, he just wasn't a good enough shot-stopper, struggled on flighted balls and wasn't the leader the Galaxy needed at the back. Panamanian star Penedo arrived after the CONCACAF Gold Cup final and instantly made LA's defense better. His quickness, ability to get to the ball in any situation, and his organization of the backline turned the Galaxy into a contender again.
"I think if I had to grade our team, I'd give them a B-minus for the year," head coach/general manager Bruce Arena said a few days after LA was eliminated from the playoffs. "Our entire organization. We qualified for the playoffs. Our second half of the season, we became a very strong team defensively, yet we still broke down on defensive restarts, which was a critical component of the playoff game we lost. One of the good things is I think we controlled the majority of the games we played."
Offseason Needs
1. Maturation: The Galaxy have a lot of good, young prospects, and it was gratifying to see center back Kofi Opare step into a starting role in the last months of the season. Fellow rookie Gyasi Zardes played a significant role, but he must be more precise in the final third. Others, especially Homegrowns Jack McBean and Jose Villarreal, need to take big steps forward.
2. Another option up top: After Magee departed, the Galaxy's options on the front line were Keane, Donovan and a bunch of youngsters, so it wasn't much of a mystery why LA struggled to score when Keane and/or Donovan were gone or having a bad day. They could use a veteran off the bench and for spot-starting duty.
3. Better wing play: Zardes showed tremendous promise after moving to the wing, but the other wide spot is available for Rogers, Hector Jimenez, Michael Stephens or perhaps Baggio Husidic. Someone needs to step up and make the job theirs.

Guilderland Archives The Altamont Enterprise, February 2, 2012
Levy questions schedule changes on behalf of staff, board advised trusting system
GUILDERLAND The school district estimates it may save about half-a-million dollars by rearranging schedules, thereby cutting some staff.
Guilderland must slash $3.2 million from next year's budget if it is to stay under the state imposed tax-levy limit; the limit may be overridden with 60 percent of the public vote, a mark the district hasn't reached since the recession started in 2008. The district is currently at an impasse in contract negotiations with its two largest unions.
Superintendent Marie Wiles has studied the district's administrative structure and recommended cutting two posts. The district is also using data-driven budgeting for the first time, to match services to actual student need.
Wiles also worked with staff and a consultant to examine schedules and, in December, she proposed changes in the school day, most significantly at the middle school and high school.
At last week's school board meeting, Rose Levy, the board's newest member, spoke out for the second meeting in a row, citing concerns that teachers had raised with her about the proposed changes.
Levy said this week she was surprised by other board members' reactions, and heard from people afterward who had watched the televised meeting. "They thought I was shut down," she said.
"You had in the paper that I was told to bring my concerns to the next meeting," Levy told The Enterprise. She said that 25 to 30 teachers contacted her; only a few were from the elementary schools as the changes proposed at that level are small. About half of the teachers who raised concerns are from the high school and the other half are from the middle school, she said.
As Levy continued to itemize the concerns at last Tuesday's meeting, the school board president, Colleen O'Connell, interrupted her, saying, "I don't want to hear 25 complaints from 25 teachers."
"They're not complaints; they're concerns," responded Levy.
Most of the concerns at the high school center on doing away with the advisory period and adding, instead, a shorter activity period at the end of the day. Twelve years ago, when the high school moved to a block schedule, with longer classes that meet fewer times a week, it incorporated the advisory period as part of the school day.
Most of the middle school concerns similarly focus on eliminating the tutorial period. The proposed changes would move the day from the current nine periods to eight, increasing class time from 40 to 45 minutes, and lowering class size from nearly 30 students to 23 to 25 students instead.
Some board members objected to having the concerns raised at their meeting, indicating they should be dealt with at the school level, or with district administrators.
"We have shared decision-making," said the board's vice president, Gloria Towle-Hilt, stating that it was undermining administrators' work to have the concerns aired at the meeting. She also said the concerns had been summarized for the board during the December presentation. (To read an in-depth report on Wiles's original presentation, go online to www.AltamontEnterprise.com and look under Guilderland archives for Dec. 15, 2011.)
"What is the best way for the building to get answers to concerns?" board member Richard Weisz asked Towle-Hilt.
Well into the hour-long discussion, Towle-Hilt said, "Shared decision-making is not easy. It's a lot easier to make the decision and tell people about it."
She also asked Levy, "Do you see our role as conduits for teachers?"
Towle-Hilt said, rather, it is the board members' role to tell the supervisor what they think. "They shouldn't be using us," she said of the teachers.
"I'm not being used," Levy responded.
"We're trying to be a sounding board," said Weisz. The program report in December didn't give him the information he has now, said Weisz, concluding, "We're launching the airplane. We don't have the landing strip built yet…A lot of people won't get on the airplane until they see the landing strip."
Eventually, the middle-school principal, Mary Summermatter, and the high school principal, Thomas Lutsic, were called to the microphone to answer some of the concerns.
Levy said this week that she met with Wiles on Friday to go over the concerns that teachers had raised. "She suggested a Q and A on the district's website," reported Levy. But Levy feels strongly the concerns should be aired in public at school board meetings.
"I wanted to make everyone aware of the concerns," she said. "I was trying to have a discussion. I wasn't expecting answers…The board should know the concerns, address them, and then weigh the effect on the kids…It has to be done at a public meeting so parents and the community can see these concerns are addressed."
She concluded, "I'll keep asking questions."
At the high school
Levy and O'Connell visited the high school during its advisory period the day of the Jan. 24 school board meeting and O'Connell reported to the board that she came away with the impression that, as the superintendent had indicated, about 85 percent of what goes on during advisory period is students' doing their homework.
O'Connell also reported that Levy had asked Principal Lutsic, if money were no object, would he favor the proposed new schedule and he said he would. "The word it keeps coming back to is flexibility," said O'Connell.
She concluded, "There are some people who would like to cling to what we have."
Levy told the board she came away with a different perspective. "I was surprised and amazed with how much goes on during advisory," she said of the hour-and-a-half long period.
Students told her they'd have to choose among clubs, extra help, and sports if everything were moved to the after-school period. The advisor for the high-school newspaper, she reported, said that, if The Journal were made into a credit-bearing course as has been proposed, you wouldn't "get the kids who really want to be there."
Lutsic told the board that the high school leadership team started looking at schedule changes this summer and, once school started, the building cabinet met twice a month rather than its usual once a month.
"We've been reaching out," said Lutsic of himself and other administrators who have talked with faculty. "This has moved a lot faster than people are used to…You're not going to please all of the people all of the time…. We'll have to adjust as we go."
Lutsic also said that the flexibility of the new schedule would allow for more student choice as well as more balanced class sizes.
Wiles estimated that this re-distribution could cut four or five jobs, saving about a quarter-of-a-million dollars.
Board member Denise Eisele said that she had two children with special needs go through Guilderland High School and said of her daughter, "She found her advisory very frustrating…They played games and hung out." Eisele called it a "100-percent waste of time, " and said, "There was no education going on." She concluded, "It isolated them."
Later in the discussion, Eisele also said, "I like the idea of choice." Making choices, she said, is "a mature adult concept," and students have to learn they "can't do it all." For example, she said, athletes may have to choose between playing their sport and joining a club.
O'Connell responded that, if the rules are enforced, and sports practice starts at 3:15 or 3:30 p.m., students should be able to do both. "I have learned we're underutilizing the time after 2:25…We're paying people to be there," she said.
At the middle school
At Farnsworth Middle School, Levy said, teachers are concerned that contact time between teachers and special-needs students would be reduced.
Wiles said instruction wouldn't look the same but stressed, "We absolutely have to meet the mandate of the IEP." She was referring to the Individualized Education Program, which is mapped out for each special-education student.
Summermatter said that a group of special-education teachers has been working on answers to concerns that have been raised and will present them to the leadership team.
Demian Singleton, the district's assistant superintendent for instruction, said that Farnsworth special-education teachers have been looking at programs in a way that is long overdue "to start thinking about the 'I' in IEP." Singleton said it's "opening up eyes to different ways" of providing help.
He concluded, "Before, it's always been, 'This is your program regardless of what individual needs are.'"
Levy told The Enterprise this week that teachers told her the tutorial period is used for research and group projects and for developing relationships with students. "They hold town-hall-type meetings in keeping with the middle-school philosophy on topics like bullying," she said. "Teachers are very concerned that, without that extra contact time, some kids will fall through the cracks."
Some teachers told her they'd rather have the larger class sizes than lose the tutorial, Levy said.
"There are concerns that, while it may save money now, down the road it will cost more as test scores go down and intervention is needed," she said. "These aren't teachers who are afraid of change or opposed to more work, but they felt it would not be good for kids."
"People are afraid of the unknown," Summermatter told the school board. "We have to do something new."
Levy asked Summermatter if the middle school schedule would have been changed if it weren't for the budget crunch.
"No," responded the principal. "We reconfigured the day five years ago for more teacher contact time…." But she conceded, "It's an expensive model."
The new schedule would cut four-and-a-half posts, saving roughly a quarter of a million dollars.
"That's the sad reality of it," said Summermatter. She likened the current schedule to "the Cadillac model," and described having to drive a lesser car recently while hers was in the shop. She had to roll down the windows, rather than push a button. "But it got me from Point A to Point B," she said.
"The most expensive item isn't always the best," said board member Allan Simpson.
"It's so hard to change," said board member Judy Slack. "You know what you have works."
"Our teachers are over-achievers…They want to make sure they're providing the best possible environment for learning," said Summermatter.
Simpson concluded that the scheduling changes would save half-a-million dollars.
"But at what cost?" asked Levy.
"Just because you've spent more money doesn't mean you get a better product," responded Simpson.

Wood, Benjamin -- 1584 Reconnaissance voyage
Wood, John -- 1584 Reconnaissance voyage
Wood, Agnes -- 1587 Colonist roster (single female or unescorted )
From Roberta Estes:
Let's look at some of the other and more obviously single women, in this case Agnes Wood. In 1549 one Robert Woode of St. Bride's Church, London, to which at least one other member of the colony also belonged, married Johanna Toppam. Was our Agnes their daughter and therefore related to the Tappans? Or was she perhaps the Agnes Traver who married John Wood in London in 1577 ?51 John Wood had come to Roanoke in 1584. There may have been some reason for his wife to come.
Both Benjamin and John Wood who came in 1584 with Amadas and Barlowe, later enjoyed high positions. Benjamin had an interesting career at sea and was a noted navigator and captain. He has a place in the annals of British naval history for his attempt to reach China. He is known to have arrived at the Malay Peninsula but was later lost at sea. John had already been a muster captain and after returning home became one of the "Jurates" of the town and port of Sandwich. He was knighted in 1603 at the coronation of James I.

How long it takes for the bone to heal and stabalize, inorder not to "spring back" to its pre-op position?
When Osteotomy is Done to Narrow Nasal Bones, Could the Bones Shift Back and Move?
Doctor Answers 7
Rule of Osteotomies in Nasal Rhinoplasty
Often a rhinoplasty does not require osteotomies. If it does, it is used to 1. close an open roof nasal base or 2. refine the dorsum. If done through an external percutaneous approach it can be carefully controlled as it does not spring back to the pre-operative position.
When Osteotomy is Done to Narrow Nasal Bones, Could the Bones Shift Back and Move?
Yes, when the bones are broken and become mobile, there's always a chance that one or both, nasal bones, will shift somewhere along the length of the bone (front or back). IMHO, the bones are the most susceptible during the first month post Rhinoplasty. This is why I instruct all my Rhinoplasty patients to sleep on a U shaped pillow and avoid any nasal contact for 1 month following their Rhinoplasty. I should add that significant shifts, in the nasal bones, are quite rare. When they do occur, the bone(s) will need to be re-broken at 6 months post op.

Nasal bone movement after Rhinoplasty
Yes, nasal bones can potentially move after rhinoplasty. Cosmetic nose surgery typically involves an osteotomy, where the nasal bones are cut. One may think of an osteotomy as a controlled "broken nose". Any potential movement usually occurs within the first couple weeks after rhinoplasty. Therefore, be careful and avoid contact sports or activity where the nose may be hit. Generally, the nasal bones will fuse and become stable 6 weeks after rhinoplasty.
Your plastic surgeon will help guide you during your recovery process. Best of luck.

Nasal bones are pretty set 2-3 weeks after osteotomy with complete fusion at 6 weeks. Complete osteotomies will not migrate. Incomplete ones may shift during healing.

Nasal bone healing after osteotomy.
Nasal bone healing after osteotomy takes only 2-3 weeks to be relatively stable if the osteotomies were complete and therefore, they don't spring back.

Nasal Bone Shift after Osteotomy
Nasal bones are relatively stable 2-3 weeks after a rhinoplasty with nasal bone osteotomies. I tell my patients to avoid nasal trauma for 6 weeks after their surgery. If there is a green-stick fracture (an incomplete fracture of the nasal bones) with the osteotomies the bones can spring back to their original position. This is very rare, but can occur immediately after the cast is removed.

But, my pqlib users seem to be able to get bad data in. I have not done any real testing yet to track this down, but have looks through the archives and have not been able to spot anything. Anybody else seen something like this? Am I missing something fundamental. I have noticed that I can cast the bad data to the domain type, but not to a varchar and then the domain type. i.e. Select passcode::D_PASSCODE from employee_passcode; -- will work Select passcode::varchar::D_PASSCODE from employee_passcode; -- properly complains --> ERROR: value for domain d_passcode violates check constraint "d_passcode_check" It looks like the data is not checked when passed to the function and from their on out since it is already the correct type it is not checked again. Has anyone else seen something like this? I am using 8.0.1. On the pqlib side we are calling PQexecParams and using NULL for param types for the function calls in question.

Microsoft Corp. is confronting the biggest challenge to its Windows franchise so far: a world where mobile phones and tablets are handling more of the computing chores once only done on personal computers. Windows may be 25 years old, but it is no less critical to Microsoft's future. The software generated $19 billion in revenue last fiscal year and produced $12.3 billion in profit—nearly half of Microsoft's operating income. But Windows revenue has declined in each of the past two quarters. Where do you think Windows will end up? At the cutting edge? Or in a supporting player position?

There was plenty to discuss during the special E! interview with the Kardashian/Jenner clan Sunday night. But we found ourselves less interested in recapping the rather graphic details of sex lives and difficult pregnancies than in the three eldest sisters' unique beauty looks.
Khloé continued to experiment with new dos, wearing her hair long and curly with streaks of blonde.
Kim simplified her maternity style significantly, but true to her ever-glam instincts, made sure to add a dash of flash via her long, pointy scarlet fingernails.
And Kourtney sported a very sophisticated look, wearing her hair (and new bangs) simple and straight to complement her elegant crew neck shift.
One more thing we couldn't help but notice — Ryan Seacrest's suspiciously glossy lips. He denied beauty shenanigans, but we can't blame him for wanting to be all made-up — after all, he has to keep up with the Kardashians.
Did you watch the show last night? Which sister's style were you loving the most?

Everyone feels anxious sometimes, right? Of course they do, otherwise we wouldn't be considered human. But what happens when anxiety and worries take over the control you have in your life?
Anxiety disorder is one of Canada's most common illnesses and it's also one that is least understood. I agree with that because I have anxiety disorder and I am still struggling to maintain control and understand it's effects on me and my physical health.
Some of the physical symptoms I suffer from daily are:
Heart palpitations
Pain in my back, neck and shoulders
Extreme gas and digest problems
Trouble sleeping at night
Constant worries about life
A flood of emotions
Agoraphobia (trouble leaving my house for any reason) to avoid dealing with situations that cause anxiety.
These are just a few symptoms that can strike a person dealing with anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorder is not fun, let me tell you. A person can be constantly worried about everything and anything without realizing it and it can be completely debilitating.
Often people suffering from anxiety disorder will not get help because of their fear to deal with the situation and how society sees it as a mental weakness.
I love the word CRAZY! I've grown to love it over the years due to the fact I have bipolar depression. Everyone has a little CRAZY in them, it all depends on how it's showcased.
When I don't take my medication or go off of it, my CRAZY can come out and there are days I have real highs and then real lows. It's never fun for me, nor my family or friends. But having a support system (group of people) who love you for who you are and understand when your mental illness is affecting you and them. It's an important step on the road to recovery and dealing with life with mental illness.
Anxiety disorders not only contribute to a person's mental health but their emotional and physical well being.
A person can also have more than one anxiety disorder at a time, much like diabetes or heart disease, the disorders can go hand in hand.
Understand the basics can help you determine if you or a family member suffer from an anxiety disorder.
Here are a few key things to look for
Phobias: There are two types. Social phobias (fear of interaction with groups of people) and specific such as fear of flying. Now some people may have a fear of flying but not have an anxiety disorder just anxiety when dealing with this.
I have trouble leaving my home. I don't know why. It started when my son got sick and it's grown since then. Maybe even before then. I avoid social situations and only have a small group of friends whom I will allow myself to see when I can. I am working on it now that I'm aware this has become a problem in my life.
Panic Disorder: Just as the name suggests that's what it is. A disorder that causes panic. Nice eh? Like we don't have enough to worry about in life there is a disorder to make things worse and actually cause panic.
A panic attack is one of the most awful things I've ever had to cope with in my lifetime. You feel heart palpitations, fear dying, you cannot breath, your body hurts, your tummy hurts, and it's almost as if the world is coming to an end. There is hope though… it does pass.
Anxiety disorder is usually treated with medication and behavioural therapies (combined) and often putting a person in a controlled but uncomfortable situation to help them cope and deal with their worries and fears.
I recognize I have this disorder and I'm fighting it. I'm fighting it the same way I fight my bipolar depression. Positive self talk, trying to get healthy, quitting the things that cause me worry and taking control of my life.
It's not always easy. Many people do not understand how truly awful this disorder is. But there is help. You can survive it and move on to have a healthy lifestyle and happier life.
You can read more on anxiety disorder, it's causes and effects. Also talk to your friends, family and those you love. Ask them what they observe and write it down, match it with what you feel yourself and make up a plan of attack to battle those things that you find are intruding into your life.
I know I have a long road ahead of me.
I want to be happy and healthy for myself and my kids.
You can have that, too. You just have to understand the problems and believe you can change.
Happy Health!

Do you like having pickled cabbage as a side dish with your favorite main dish? Pickled veggies are generally prefered with stews in our cuisine. The most common dish paired with pickles is beans with meat, but I can eat them with anything, even plain. You already know my love of pickles.
You love pickles, but don't you have time to make some? I have a great recipe of pickled cabbage for you which will be ready in 10 minutes! This is another dish from my childhood. Mom would make this easy pickled cabbage whenever she made cabbage rolls. You know the thick parts of cabbage are cut when making rolls, so are we going to waste these cut parts? No way! I don't know if this is something created by mom or if all women make it in the same way. But I'm sure you will love it. Of course you don't need to make cabbage rolls first to make this pickled cabbage. You can just make it from a whole cabbage too.
Kolay Lahana Tursusu
Easy Pickled Cabbage
Appetizing pickled cabbage!
- ½ head cabbage
- water to boil
- 1 lemon
- red pepper flakes

text: Hi everyone, If you remember a while ago I posted that my brand new S3 had got swirl marks. See this thread http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=39654 Following this thread, I contacted Clark from Polished Bliss regarding a Paint Correction Detail. Due to where Polished Bliss is located and its distance from where I live, Clark recommended I contact a local Professional Detailer, whom he trusted. He recommended Matt Wakefield at Off Your Marks Detailing www.offyourmarks.com. I contacted Matt not long afterwards at the back-end of May. Matt inspected the car and quoted me for paint correction. It was a pleasure to meet Matt, we got on straight away and shared the same passion for cars. He also came across as a perfectionist and a genuinely honest bloke. Due to selling our house, living in temporary accommodation, finding a new house, moving in, going away to Mauritius to get married in August etc. etc. it was far too busy for me to book the car in....until last week. I contacted Matt a couple of weeks ago, and due to a cancellation he managed to fit me in on the 1st & 2nd of October. Matt is based quite centrally in the North West, not far from Warrington. Although Matt will perform detailing at your home or even is home, he prefers to do his work in his well equipped Unit in the Bootle area of Liverpool. Until two weeks ago, it had played on my mind about how would I get my car to Liverpool, and then continue on to work, which is in Knutsford, Cheshire, about an hour away. However, when I spoke to Matt, I was pleased to find out that he now provides a courtesy car!!! No worries now then, so I booked my car in immediately. Below is quite a long write-up about the Paint Correction Detail that Matt performed on my Phantom Black S3. I would just like to thank Clark for allowing me to post this. The Paint Correction Detail The first step in the process that Matt followed was to ensure that my car was washed thoroughly. This was done initially using a pre rinse of citrus degreaser and a warm light pressure wash. The car was left to dwell and the rinsed clear again using warm (45deg) water. This ensured the removal of loose dirt and a breakdown of the waxes and other products on the car. Heres a pic my car waiting its wash. After the pre wash, next came the wheels. The wheels were treated using Zymol Natural wheel gel. Following the wheels, they were rinsed again using warm water only, ensuring any gel cling was eliminated. The next step, Matt washed the car with the familiar two bucket format, both shod with grit guards, Zymol autowash and a Natural sea sponge. Matt prefers the sea sponge over the mitt due to the added absorbency, soft pile and low pressure imparted during the wash. Matt pays around £30.00 per sponge. Following the washing, the car was again rinsed using warm water. The car was then cleansed using Zymol Lehm Clay to remove any embedded particles and contaminants. Following the clay, the car was again washed and rinsed with filtered water Once the wash and cleansing was done the car was brought inside to be dried. Matt used a leaf blower to dry the car quickly without touch or streaking. I was impressed at this method of drying the car. Id never thought of blow-drying the car - not sure what the neighbours will think if I try this at home! After the car was dry Matt visually inspected the paint to see the light swirling that had concerned me. It was very very fine swirling giving the panels a greying effect. This is shown to some effect in the shot below, however it looked worse in the flesh. After the visual inspection the paint was assessed using two paint gauges, one for composites and the other for steels. The readings uploaded onto a laptop to gain a minds image of the overall paint quality. The car was then taped up to protect certain vulnerable areas ready for the paint correction process. I asked Matt what he had used in this stage, he used initially Menzerna Final finish on a sonus white pad mixed with another polish from a plain bottle ( a new product aid he is trialling) and then refined the finish further using 3M Ultrafina on a blue 3M waffle pad. Following the corrective work Matt then wiped down the car with a diluted IPA solution an inspected the car again with his sun gun for any remaining defects. Following the inspection then the car was prepared and cleansed with Zymol HD Cleanse This is used to clean any residue or oils remaining in the paint and prepare the surface ready for the wax. I chose Zymol Royale estate glaze to be applied to my car. Not sure how many of you are familiar with this wax, but it retails at a staggering £7,188.00 for 44oz, but Matt tells me it is refilled for life. The wax contains 73% pure Brazilian #1 Carnauba wax by volume, basically 73% of the total product as opposed to 1 or 2% found in many cheaper waxes. Matt had to apply this by hand and the heat from his hands softens the wax ready for application. He sometimes uses a Microfibre pad, but the wax was straight from the fridge and he felt had application was best here. He also massaged the Royale into the window rubber to seal and protect the rubber he tells me they will bead just like the paint! Once applied ( in straight lines, same direction as the water would run off) in small sections the panels were buffed to a deep shine. As the wax sweats and necessitates a second buff, Matt got on with the rest of the prep. However it was looking good at this stage. So the HD cleanse was out again and used on the wheels before sealing with Zymol wheel seal. Following the seal matt dressed the wheels with Zymol Royale too. Tyres received a coat of the Zymol tyre giving a non glossy just out of the mould look. The exhaust tips polished with Zymol metal. and glass with Zymol glass Following all this the car was stood to sweat outside in the sun and help the wax to cure. It was then brought back inside and dusted over with a Zymol Feather duster. All seals were re-brushed too. Now it was time for the final buff, Matt used a spurts of field glaze and a microfibre towel to buff to the final shine. Here are some finished shots inside the Detailing Centre My car did look stunning shame it rained the next day. But what it did allow me to see was how well the car beads!! Matt was expecting a Brand new Audi R8 in the following day. Again, a brand new car containing swirls direct from the dealer. I have asked Matt about the possibility of an "open day" at his detailing centre, and he is quite willing to show people around. So if you fancy an Audi-Sport meet there, please let me know. I would just like to thank Matt for his hard work, 16 hours worth of work in fact! I would also like to thank Clark again for recommending Off Your Marks and Matt, and allowing me to post up details of Matts work. Cheers AL

Cowboys could cut ties to Miles Austin
Marcas Grant | Tags: Three and out, Arizona Cardinals, Dallas Cowboys, Miles Austin, Rob Housler, Seattle Seahawks, Terrance Williams, Travis Beckum
Austin done in Dallas?: After eight seasons it appears the Dallas Cowboys are ready to part ways with wide receiver Miles Austin. Considering Austin's 2014 salary ($5.5 million) and his lack of 2013 production (24/244/0), it's not a surprise that the team would decide to move on. This should open things up for Terrance Williams who acquitted himself well as a rookie, catching 44 passes for 736 yards and five scores. Hopefully knowing that the job of Dallas' No. 2 receiver is fully his, Williams can take a big step forward in his second season. As for Austin, it would appear that his best fantasy days are behind him.
Housler on the hot seat: For the past couple of seasons, the Arizona Cardinals have been waiting for Rob Housler to become a breakout player. The young tight end has shown flashes, but injuries have prevented him from truly making the leap. That could turn 2014 into a make-or-break year for him, according to AZCardinals.com. He's caught just one touchdown in his first three seasons and has yet to play a full 16 games. Housler's lack of consistency won't boost him up any fantasy draft boards, but if he can put it together in 2014, he'll have deep sleeper potential.
Beckum joins Seahawks: The last time Travis Beckum caught a pass in the NFL, it was 2011 and he played for the New York Giants. Injuries forced him to sit out all but four snaps of the 2012 season and Beckum hasn't seen the field since. However, he hopes to make a comeback after signing with the Seahawks on Monday. He'll compete for a roster spot on a team that struggled to establish consistency among its tight ends. After sitting out the better part of two full seasons, it's hard to envision Beckum being an impact player in 2014.

WASHINGTON -- News of war swept through Capitol Hill with the speed of a cruise missile screaming over the Iraqi desert -- and so did predictions of unqualified victory over Saddam Hussein's forces.
Even Democrats, who had futilely opposed last week's presidential request for a congressional war authorization, closed ranks behind U.S. soldiers in the desert and, for now, generally reserved comment on the wisdom of the president's action.
"I believe that we will prevail in a matter of days or weeks," said Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Ga., Senate Armed Services Committee chairman. "Saddam Hussein has made a tragic miscalculation."

Linebacker Brad Jones took a trip to Tennessee, but he's going to be remaining up north.
Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that Jones has agreed to terms on a deal that will keep him with the Packers for at least one more year. No terms of the deal have been reported.
Jones stepped into the lineup after Desmond Bishop and D.J. Smith were lost for the year to injuries and was playing his best football at the end of the season. It was his first extended time as an inside linebacker and did well enough to generate interest from the Titans and others as a free agent. He finished the year with 77 tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble.

You can usually find someone selling it at the second-line parades. And the Rampart Food Store on N. Rampart and St. Anthony just out of the Quarter (the orange building, or "the ernge store") usually has it.
Imagine pho made from what you could find in American supermarkets in the 1950s -- beef broth, spaghetti noodles, chopped meat, green onions and a ton of soy sauce, topped with a bit of hard-boiled egg. Supposedly black World War II soldiers came home from the Pacific theater with a taste for Asian soup, and this was the result.
Very, very salty! Which is probably why it's renowned as a hangover cure.

Some feel it used to have to do with that racist term. Others feel it's about the word conasse which is a French put down from the war. This is because the origin of the term is not known.
Most Louisianians feel it had to do with how many raccoons Cajuns tended to eat. In the past it was considered a knock, but now people are having fun with it and embracing it. But there are still people who don't like the term and will get angry if you call them that. Sometimes it depends on who it is calling you a coonass as to whether you'll like it or not.
The biggest thing that has influenced the acceptance of "coonass" is the fact that it makes money. Shirts and trinkets please tourists. Money talks. Coonass pride.
