Friday, April 25, 2014
By Colin Woodard email@example.com
Staff Writer
Gov. Paul LePage plans to host a conference this month showcasing the controversial education reforms developed by former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and promoted nationwide by a foundation that Bush founded.
Patricia Levesque speaks before the Florida Senate education committee in Tallahassee in this Associated Press file photo from Wednesday, March 5, 2008.
The daylong Governor's Conference on Education March 22 at Cony High School in Augusta gives senior officials at Bush's Foundation for Excellence in Education prominent billing, including executive director Patricia Levesque, a registered Florida lobbyist for digital education companies who has helped shape LePage administration policies in ways favorable to that sector.
The foundation has played an influential behind-the-scenes role in shaping the governor's education agenda, a Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram investigation found last year.
The keynote speaker at the conference will be Florida education commissioner Tony Bennett, chair of the foundation's Chiefs for Change group, which also counts Stephen Bowen, Maine's education commissioner, as a member.
The first third of the proceedings are devoted to the Florida reform model as presented by Levesque -- Bush's former deputy chief of staff for education -- and two of her foundation colleagues: staffer and Goldwater Institute fellow Matt Ladner and staff speechwriter Mike Thomas.
Bush, who is considered a presidential prospect for 2016, has been promoting a set of reforms he championed while governor of Florida.
They include a letter-grade rating system for public schools, vigorous testing, and an expansion of voucher programs, charter schools, and full-time virtual schools. He has traveled the country giving presentations to state officials and created the foundation to promote Florida style reforms in other states.
The model is polarizing, generally embraced by school choice enthusiasts and vilified by teacher's unions and others who fear the Florida Model encourages the privatization of public education.
"Florida is seen as a model for the rest of the country, and one of their greatest principles is the accountability of the public school system through a letter grade system," said Amanda Clark, education policy analyst at the conservative Maine Heritage Policy Center, who notes that students at poorly performing public schools are given vouchers that they can use to escape their school, possibly en masse. "This incentiveizes schools to improve to regain the students who will be lost.
"The students who leave the failing school will receive a better quality education elsewhere, and if their old school can't improve, why keep it running?" she said.
William Mathis, managing director of the National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado Boulder, disagrees. "They go around the country with the same slides doing this dog-and-pony show, but in reality the Florida gains are not greater than anyone else in the nation," said Mathis, who feels Bush falsely ascribes education improvements to his policies, when other initiatives he did not favor are more likely responsible.
"Unfortunately," Mathis said, "things can take on political momentum and energy and a bandwagon that have no foundation in facts."
LePage's spokeswoman, Adrienne Bennett, said the purpose of the conference is to "introduce information and best practices that come from a variety of states, including Florida."
The other presenters are Eric Lerum, vice president of former DC schools chancellor Michelle Rhee's StudentsFirst; Jeanne Allen, founder of the pro-school choice Center for Education Reform; Alisha Morgan, a Democratic Georgia state legislator who won national awards for championing school choice; retired Maine Maritime Academy professor Alden Monberg; and the headmaster of Thornton Academy, Rene Menard.
Bennett emphasized that they wanted "to get everybody together in a room" -- teachers, teachers' union, superintendents, legislators and the public -- and "build a dialogue that can distribute information in a way that can help move things forward."

Larry and Polly Solari
In 1948, Bruno (Larry) Solari and his wife Polly bought Larkmead Vineyards. As a boy of nine, he had immigrated to the US from Tuscany with his family in Geyserville, California in 1920. In 1933 he was the first in his family to earn a college degree, graduating from UC Berkeley at the height of the Great Depression. Despite difficult times for the wine industry in the years following World War II, Larry recognized the huge potential of the historic vineyard site and acquired it in 1948. Larry was enormously optimistic about Larkmead's future.
He commuted to San Francisco during the week, where he worked as President of United Vintners, which owned Inglenook, Beaulieu and Italian Swiss Colony. Polly ran the winery and supervised daily winemaking operations from 1948 to 1952. For Polly, the mother of three young children, this was no easy task, and was highly unusual work for a woman at that time. To their delight, their first harvest at Larkmead was so bountiful the Solaris were able to make a sizable payment on their mortgage.
Larry continued to work as President and CEO of United Vintners, the 1,500-member grape grower cooperative that owned Italian Swiss Colony and Inglenook, and later Beaulieu. President and CEO of United Vintners, an Executive Director of Heublein (which acquired United Vintners) and Chairman of the Wine Institute, Larry had a distinguished career in the Napa Valley and California wine industry. Regarded as one of the 'giants' of the wine industry, his good friend Robert Mondavi referred to Larry as his "mentor." After Larry's death in 1984, the family continued winemaking and growing premium varietal grapes from the historic vineyard. The property has now remained in the Solari family for over 60 years.

Summary of Hannibal and Me Summary of Hannibal and Me Reviews for Hannibal and Me An Excerpt from Hannibal and Me
"Charming and fascinating."—The Wall Street Journal
The life of Hannibal, the Carthaginian general who crossed the Alps with his army in 218 BCE, is the stuff of legend. And the epic choices he and his Roman enemies made on the battlefield and in life offer timeless lessons to us today about how we should respond to our own victories and defeats.
Inspired by ancient history, Hannibal and Me explores the triumphs and disasters in our lives by examining the decisions made by Hannibal and others, including Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, Steve Jobs, Ernest Shackleton, and Paul Cézanne. Kluth shows why some overcome failure and others succumb to it, and why some fall victim to success while others thrive on it. The result is a page-turning adventure tale, a compelling human drama, and an insightful guide to understanding behavior.
"Andreas Kluth's absorbing exploration of the life of the great military commander Hannibal will inspire you to look beyond simplistic notions of success toward a deeper understanding of what it is to live the good life. This is a book full of lessons both profound and practical."
—Daniel H. Pink, bestselling author of Drive: The Surprising Truth About What Motivates Us
"A serious and fascinating exploration of issues many of us grapple with on a daily basis."
—New York Journal of Books
"A startlingly fresh outlook on an old mystery."
—Patrick Hunt, Electrum Magazine
—Los Angeles Magazine
"Kluth does superior work in spelling out the elusive values of success and failure…Realistic and timely, Kluth's book uses historic truths to move us past the frequent traps of success and failure to mold practical, productive lives."
—Publishers Weekly
"A study of the ephemeral nature of power that grapples, often very effectively, with the meaning of true happiness…Hannibal and Me is a rare blend of military strategy and emotional intelligence that offers a more mature solution for winning life's battles."
—Kirkus Reviews
"[Hannibal and Me's] fresh perspective, drawing on the life of a warrior who lived more than two millennia ago, gives it a fresh appeal."

Virgin America's expansion to a tenth destination attests to the airline's unique growth story. With low fares, top-notch service and beautifully designed new planes with high-tech amenities, the airline has captured all the major reader-based best-in-class awards and experienced significant growth since its August 2007 launch. Virgin America welcomed its one-millionth Elevate frequent flier member this fall and recently captured the "Best Domestic Airline" title in Conde Nast Traveler's Readers' Choice Awards - a poll of over 25,000 travelers.
To celebrate its new Golden State to Gold Coast flights, Virgin America is sharing the wealth with travelers from coast-to-coast with a 24-hour "Go Golden" fare sale for travel from Nov. 21-March 10, 2010. Fares start at $39* from SFO-LAX and $99* from JFK-LAS and BOS-SFO. For more Go Golden fares: www.virginamerica.com.
"Congratulations to our hometown airline Virgin America on the launch of its tenth destination - and also to SFO for inaugurating service on a brand new route," said San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. "As the only San Francisco-based airline, Virgin America continues to drive economic growth for the greater Bay Area, while lowering fares and improving service for air travelers across the country. As the airline continues to inject its innovative competition into new markets, it reflects the very best entrepreneurial spirit of our region."
Virgin America's first flight guests will enjoy WiFi, cocktails by KARMA California Brut, Patron Tequila and VeeV Acai Spirit, and golden glow treatments from Bare Escentuals underneath the airline's signature mood-lighting. Upon touchdown, the star-studded flights will receive a champagne-soaked red carpet runway welcome by Virgin's own golden boy - Virgin Group Founder Sir Richard Branson. The festivities continue at a gilded after-party at South Florida's newest hot spot: the W Fort Lauderdale, with a performance by Santigold.
In November, the airline's "Stay Golden America" contest winners scored the chance to bring all their friends onboard the inaugural flights for the ultimate golden getaway. Virgin America pledged the winners' fares to support the in-development youth entrepreneurship program of Virgin Group's non-profit foundation, Virgin Unite. The Young Entrepreneurs program will provide mentorship, business skills training and seed funding to young people facing difficult social and economic circumstances in the U.S. The public can send a message to the inaugural flights today (hashtag: #HelpVirginUnite) and Virgin America will donate $1 per Tweet received in-flight to support budding entrepreneurs. http://www.virginamerica.com/flights/fort-lauderdale.

Residents are using the T word for tornado, and the National Weather Service just confirmed that it was an EF-0 tornado that plowed through Ocean County this morning.
The winds literally sheared off the tops of trees right through a neighborhood and cut a path across the area. There are downed trees, downed light poles damaged rooftops, crushed cars with trees on top. The winds also did some serious damage at the Manahawkin Baptist Church.
Video FOX 29 obtained showed the windows literally blown out of the church. The roof came off, and people were inside at the time. Lots of folks were working around in the area, including the youth pastor who told us what he saw and what he heard when the storm and the heavy winds hit.
"The world got dark and suddenly it was like the pressure inside the church seemed like it was a vacuum and you could hear glass popping and shattering all over the place, and then all the emergency lights went on, and all the trees started laying down," describes Nathan Didlacke.
Power crews are currently working up the block. They have been working on Hilliard Boulevard all afternoon. There were 5500 people without power when this storm hit. Now the number is around 700.
Other storm victims also spoke to FOX 29 about their experiences.
"Wind picked up and all of a sudden it exceeded limits I've ever seen here. I mean windows were shaking, much of the building was shaking. Didn't understand what was taking place and saw lightning strikes and looked out shortly thereafter and the tree was gone," said Dr. Ed Parello.
"I look out the bathroom window. Everybody get in the basement now!" said Bonnie Calderone. "It was scary. It sounded like a train was coming through."

- Elegant Design
- Rich Bass for speaker size
- Remote control
- Sounds Good
- Controls on speakers easy to get to and operate
- Expensive
The Bose Computer MusicMonitor desktop speakers hold true to the big Bose sound while having one of the smallest speaker foot prints on the market. The Computer MusicMonitor speakers excel at mid and upper range frequencies. Their naturally small size limits there bass output and Bose seems to have chosen the more linear path and does not unnaturally boost the low end. If you enjoy the sound of other Boss speakers in your home you should consider the Computer MusicMonitor's for your desktop. You won't be disappointed.
The MusicMonitor's transducers are very thin and have a powerful magnet, this allows the speakers to play fast and for you to enjoy dynamic music. This also means there is very little smearing of the sound. See a slow speaker will physically smear the sound because it is not able to keep up with the change in the electrical wave that pushes the speaker. The result is smearing and slow transients. Sometimes the sound stage will be effected as well and you'll not be able to hear the space the music was recorded in.
The Bose Computer MusicMonitors may not be very everybody. First off, they are expensive. Even with their newer price, $100.00 less, they are still $299. Also if you crave bass you'll be dissatisfied. You may want to consider a 3-way system like Klipsh's ProMedia 2.1 speaker or the Audioengine's A2 speakers which are very similar to the Bose Computer MusicMonitor's but with significantly more bass. If you like open and natural sound you may also consider the Serene Audio Talisman speakers.

DENVER, COLORADO Friday, February 24 at the Denver Coliseum, American Championship Fighting (ACF) held their inaugural event, entitled Genesis, before a crowd estimated to be just under 5,000, which would make it the most highly attended mixed martial arts event in the states history. Denver-based fighter John The Annihilator Cronk surprised many by defeating former Olympian and Team Quest fighter Heath Sims for the ACF Welterweight World Championship.
Early in the evening, ACF CEO Rico Vecc brought Wes Sims into the Ocho to announce the signing of The Project to face Mark Kerr for the ACFs first heavyweight title bout, which is slated to take place on May 6th in Denver.
In the main event at Genesis, Heath Sims, highly ranked in Japans Pancrase organization, looked to stand just long enough to clinch and go for the takedown, which he eventually did. On the ground, Sims briefly held side-control, but Cronk was able to scramble and get the fight back up to standing. Once there, Sims again looked for the takedown, but on the way in Cronk cinched on a guillotine choke that caused Sims to submit 2:46 into the first round.
With the win, Cronk becomes the first ever ACF belt holder winning the welterweight championship. He also improved his record, winning five of his past six bouts.
Matt Horwich, also of Team Quest, made his return to the Centennial State having fought last year on Sport Fights first foray into Colorado and on local promotion Kick Down. He stepped into the Ocho with Hammer House fighter Rob Wince. Looking to keep the fight standing, Wince staggered Horwich early and appeared to be the more powerful of the two. But Horwich kept his composure and scored with a head kick before pulling Wince into his guard and smoothly locking on an arm bar to finish the fight.
Both known for their strong backgrounds in kickboxing, Donald Cowboy Cerrone and Cruz The Saint Chacon are both very popular in Colorado. It was Chacon that took control early, getting Cerrone to the ground and working to ground and pound him from various positions throughout the first round. In the second, Chacon again got the takedown and was positioned to continue his ground and pound assault, but Cerrone managed to catch him in transition with a triangle choke. Chacon attempted to break the hold by picking up and slamming Cerrone, but the choke was secure, giving Cerrone the win.
Chilo Gonzalez continued to resurrect his career with an impressive performance against Shawn Freese of Austin, Texas. Fighting out of Colorado Springs, Colorado, Gonzalez got taken down early, but reversed position, attained the mount and started punching Freese. In the process he opened up a deep, fight-ending cut over Freeses eye.
The fight between Samy Say and Hans Marrero went to the mat almost immediately. Following a brief scramble for position, Marrero locked out an arm bar little more than one minute into the round.
Steve Schneider, originally slated to fight Ray Elbe, instead stepped into the Ocho with Nathan Osterkamp. Schneider wasted no time taking Osterkamp down before securing the victory with a guillotine choke.
The professional portion of the show opened up with a battle for a $50,000 contract with the ACF virtually guaranteeing the winner the opportunity to become a full-time professional fighter.
Noah Thomas started off strong taking down Grant Hartwig, but lost position when he attempted an arm bar. From his back, Thomas then worked his way to a triangle choke. Attempting to break the choke, Hartwig picked up Thomas, carried him a few feet and then slammed him to the mat. Thomas didnt relent, keeping the choke intact and causing Hartwig to tap, earning the $50,000 contract.
The night also featured three amateur bouts. Just before the professional portion of the card started, fighting out of the Kongo Do Dojo in Colorado Springs, Tanner Noble went into the second round with LA Boxings Sisto Tapia before finishing him from the mount by a TKO stoppage from strikes.
Sean Claffey and James Valimont fought back and forth for two rounds. Valimont consistently enforcing hard-fought takedowns and Claffey consistently punishing him with strikes as he did so. After the second round, the ringside doctor, Ered Nash, recommended the fight be stopped due to deep cuts over both of Valimonts eyes. Claffey was awarded the victory by TKO.
In the nights opening bout, Nick Setrakian took Jason Harris down early with a big slam. He then worked his way past Harris guard and dropped down a barrage of punishing punches and elbows until the referee stopped the fight.

© Harry Benson
Robert Kennedy, Los Angeles 1968 (printed 2007)
- Scottish Art
In 1968 a press conference was held in Los Angeles for Senator Bobby Kennedy after his victory in the Californian primary. Following his speech, Benson trailed the entourage through the kitchen of the hotel. Although he did not hear the gun shots, Harry recalls thinking: "This is it". He climbed on to a cooker hob and began taking pictures of the slain Senator - "I kept thinking, he'd understand how important this is, recording history, doing my job". This photograph appears calm and composed even though it captures a moment of mayhem. Looking down from above, Benson evokes the sense of something spiritual watching over Kennedy's lifeless body. The white shirts of the two figures, together with Kennedy's, create a triangle that focuses attention on the Senator's unresponsive face.

Bottled-up Buoyancy
AbstractDo you dream about making deep, undersea voyages? Let this project take you 20,000 leagues under the sea! Investigate how submarines dive and surface by changing their buoyancy in this fun project.

When you see a submarine underwater in a movie, it probably seems as if it's moving very slowly, but actually, submarines move very fast. The fastest submarine can travel over 40 knots, which is over 75 kilometers per hour! Moving and maneuvering a large submarine underwater is a tricky task because of the forces involved: gravity, buoyancy, pressure, and friction.
First, think about the force of friction and how it is different when moving in the water. Have you ever tried running in a pool? Then you know it is much more difficult to run through water than to run through air. That is because water is more dense than air, and it is actually pushing back on you when you move. Moving though water creates a lot of friction, and submarines are designed to minimize this force by having a hydrodynamic, bullet-like shape. Submarines are also made of very strong materials, like steel, to resist the forces of high pressure the submarine encounters as it dives deeper under the water.
Submarines are large, heavy ships that are often built with steel, so how in the world do they float in the water? The answer is buoyancy: "A submarine or a ship can float because the weight of water that it displaces is equal to the weight of the ship. This displacement of water creates an upward force called the buoyant force and acts opposite to gravity, which would pull the ship down. Unlike a ship, a submarine can control its buoyancy, thus allowing it to sink and surface at will" (howstuffworks.com, 2007).
That explains how a submarine moves up and down, but how does the submarine move forward and backward? One way for a submarine to move forward is to use a propeller, but there is a trick to this movement. When the propeller spins, it can also spin the submarine, taking away any forward movement. Without stabilizing fins, a submarine would just be a spinning tube. The stabilizing fins resist spinning by adding a force of friction, canceling out the spinning motion, which allows the propeller to push the submarine forward. The submarine can also move backward by changing the direction that the propeller spins.
In this project, you will investigate how changes in buoyancy affect whether a submarine dives or surfaces. You will build your own miniature submarine and test different levels of buoyancy with your model. You will change the level of buoyancy by adding different amounts of air and water to your model submarine.

Experimental Procedure
- Click on the image at the right to view the Soda Bottle Submarine instructions found at http://www.howtoons.com/?page_id=48.
- Print out the instructions.
Making the Propeller
- To begin making the propeller, cut the bottom half off the 2-L soda bottle. Cut the bottom, as shown by the howtoons.com worksheet, to make a propeller shape that has five separate curved blades. This is difficult because the plastic is thick in certain places. Have an adult carefully use a razor blade or a knife to help you with this tricky step. See Figure 2 for a picture of the finished propeller.
Figure 2. This is a propeller made out of a 2-L bottle, explained in the howtoons.com instructions.
- Have an adult drill a hole in the small water bottle cap and drill two holes in the propeller, one in the center and another just off center. Be sure to wear safety goggles when using power tools.
- Using scissors, cut a small circle of plastic out of the remains of the 2-L soda bottle. The circle should be about the same size and shape as the submarine (small water bottle's) bottle cap. This piece will go in between the bottle cap and the propeller and will serve as a washer—the propeller needs a slippery surface against which to spin. Using a pen or a needle, carefully make a hole in the middle of the washer, big enough for the tip of a paper clip to easily fit through. Use caution if you use a needle so you don't poke yourself.
- Straighten one end of one of the paper clips and feed it through the hole in the top of the bottle cap, then through the washer, and finally through the center hole of the propeller. The propeller fins should be facing down, curved away from the bottle cap.
- Bend the inside end with the needle-nose pliers, looping it through the second off-center propeller hole to secure the paper clip and two pieces together.
- You will use the water bottle for the submarine, but first you need to add measurement markers on it to help you fill the submarine with different amounts of water during your trials. Using a metric liquid measuring cup, pour water into the bottle, 20 mL at a time, each time drawing a line with a permanent marker where the top of the water is. When you are done, you can label the lines (20 mL, 40 mL, 60 mL, ...500 mL) for easier measuring later.
Making the Submarine
- To make the submarine, have an adult drill two small holes in the bottom of the water bottle, just like the holes in the propeller—one in the center and one slightly off-center.
- Straighten one end of the second paper clip and use chopsticks to insert the straight end of the paper clip through the hole of the water bottle, from the mouth of the bottle into the centered hole at the end of the water bottle. This step is tricky!
- Once you get the straight end out, use the pliers to bend the end over and hook it into the other off-center hole to secure it.
- Use the chopsticks again to hook a rubber band onto the paper clip hook inside the water bottle submarine.
- Without letting go of the rubber band, hook the other end of the rubber band loop through the paper clip hook inside the bottle cap propeller. If it is too difficult to pull the rubber band using chopsticks, use another paper clip to make a hook and use this to pull the rubber band to the hook in the bottle cap propeller. Make sure the rubber band is tight—the submarine's rubber band needs good tension or it won't be able to move. If the rubber band is too loose, try a smaller size. See Figure 3 for a picture of the connected assembly with a 2-L bottle submarine. Note: (a 2-L bottle is used in this figure because it is bigger, making the assembly easier to see—remember, you are using a smaller water bottle).
Figure 3. This is the connected assembly. The 2-L bottle is used only as a larger visual aid—you will be using a smaller water bottle for the submarine body.
- Connect the ruler as a stabilizing fin, using two rubber bands. Place the ruler perpendicular and so it is just centered to the submarine. Attach it with two rubber bands that form an "X" around the bottle and the ruler.
- Using the waterproof sealant, make sure that the paper clip holes are fully sealed. Water can easily move in and out of the submarine if there are still holes, which will affect the experiment. Give the sealant enough time to dry before proceeding with the experiment—see the sealant's instructions.
Testing the Submarine's Buoyancy
- Now you should fill your submarine with different amounts of air and water using the marks you made earlier. Starting at 0 mL, test each mark for buoyancy. You will need a data table in your lab notebook to keep track of your experiments and results. See the one below for an example.
Amount of Water (mL) Amount of Air (mL) The submarine:
(sinks, rises, or stays level)
Buoyancy is:
(positive, negative, or neutral)
0 mL 500 mL 20 480 mL ... ... 480 mL 20 mL 500 mL 0 mL
- Each time, after you fill the submarine bottle with the desired amounts of air and water, tighten the bottle cap and use the propeller to twist the rubber band around several times to build up potential energy. Why will this propeller work? Loot at it. What makes it force the submarine forward instead of backward? Which way should it spin? Be sure you count and record in your lab notebook how many times you've twisted the rubber band around and twist it the same number of times for every trial. Submerge the submarine in the bathtub or pool of water and let it go. Be sure to have an adult with you if you are testing this in a pool. What happens to the submarine? If your submarine:
- Sinks - this result is negative buoyancy.
- Rises - this result is positive buoyancy.
- Stays level - this result is neutral buoyancy.
- Keep testing, emptying, refilling, and testing your submarine until you have found a good range of buoyancy.
- Make a graph of your data to help you analyze the results. You could make two graphs, one of Buoyancy vs. Air Volume (mL) and another of Buoyancy vs. Water Volume (mL). Do they show the same or different relationship?
- Think about your results and make a conclusion. How did the amounts of water and air affect the buoyancy of your submarine? Why do you think buoyancy is important for the hydrodynamics and stability of submarines?
Share your story with Science Buddies!I Did This Project! Please log in and let us know how things went.
- What happens if you fill the bottle with liquids other than water? Do you think you will get the same results? Try these other liquids and see what happens:
- Alcohol
- Mineral oil
- Vegetable oil
- Syrup
- You can also try using different-sized bottles for your submarine. The bottle cap will fit into soda bottles of various sizes. How do the different sizes compare? Do you use the same amounts of air and water?
- Try making the propeller from a water bottle instead of from a 2-L soda bottle. This would reduce the amount of drag the propeller produces, but it could also be a weaker propeller. Is it more efficient to use a smaller propeller or a larger one?
- You can also use the soda bottle submarine to investigate stabilizing fins. Try the Science Buddies project idea Do Submarines Need Fins? to find out more.

Finding chop sticks.
Can you suggest any improvements or ideas?
You can use a straw in place of chop sticks. Push the rubber band and the paper clip in straw and place it in the bottle. Works perfect.

Quality might not be too great, but for $5, you really can't complain. One reason the DVDs are so cheap is because a lot of really old B movies and TV are now "Public Domain", so anybody that wants burn them onto DVD and sell them can do so. I bought a collection of the Beverally Hillbillies for about $5 because some, or all, of the Beverally Hillbillies is now public domain.
There is a catch however, the TV series (and\or movies) that are in Public Domain might contain copy righted music, and that means they have remove\replace that music (or pay royality fees). As an example, the Beverally Hillbillies DVD I have doesn't contain the orignal theme song to the show, you know: "Come and listen to a story about a man named Jed A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed.....". It's replaced with some cheezy country music that I assume is public domain too. Other than that, it is pretty much the same as far as I can tell.
Anybody else remember these shows?

Anyone remember My Mother the Car ?
Yes...it had Jerry Van Dyke it didn't it? I vaguely remember watching it a few times when I was a really little girl like five or under. I remember really liking it.
Someone mentioned Davey and Golith I watched that too and it was so cute. I have watched it recently not sure on what channel but some religous one. Its supposed to be for kids I know but still like it.
I also wanted to say a good place to look for cheap old shows or hard to find shows is www. ioffer.com
There is another site too that I ordered a movie I had looked all over for Amazon had it but it was really really expensive and I got it off there for 10 dollars. www.cinemavalue.org.

Apparently the 21st century equivalent of "How many angels will fit on the head of a pin?" is "How many Angels will fit on the broadcast schedule?"
"Moonlight," from writer-producer Ron Koslow (CBS' "Beauty and the Beast"), is about a vampire who makes his living as a private detective. Alex O'Loughlin ("The Invisible") stars.
Like Jell-O, there always seems to be room for a vampire/detective show.
ETA:Apparently tags don't work in thread titles. Can someone change my failed attempt at an italicized "Another" to an all-caps "ANOTHER"? Thanks.

I am a cronic pain patient on disability and can not get pain medication from my doctor with my insurer Kiaser Permenente in Portland Oregon. With my thick medical file one would think there is enough evidence to warrent such medication. Ironicly my coveted expired medication that I carry for emergencies was stolen by a TSA agent at LAX, I dont dare report it to my doctor as it will only make my problem of trying to obtain a simple prescription worse. I continue to have to rely on medical care in Mexico as my insurer continues to turn a deaf ear to my needs with pain management. I am only trying to obtain 30 pills a year and am treated as an addict.
How much of inadequate pain relief in the US is due to doctors afraid to be accused of overuse of scheduled medications, even though following their medical judgement alone would result in higher doses?
More casualties of the War on Drugs?

How often do cycling companies open their doors to reveal all? There is the risk of revealing too much, losing the competitive edge, or releasing unqualified information and creating a PR nightmare.

This means that cyclists (consumers) are faced with a minefield of marketing jargon and technical acronyms. What if cyclists were given the opportunity to peak under the hood?
