External Affairs Minister S M Krishna on Saturday said there was no high expectation from the meeting between Home Minister P Chidambaram and his Pakistani counterpart Rehman Malik but a "beginning has been made".
Talking to reporters here, he said, "I don't think we had any high expectations (from the meeting yesterday)...(but) a beginning has been made.
"Such high-level visits serve a very important purpose and in my opinion that purpose has been served."
On the outcome of the meeting between Chidambaram and Malik, he said, "Do not be in a rush. Let the home minister come back. If he (Chidambaram) has anything of substance to report to the Cabinet, he will do it."
To a query about a view that there was no point in talking to the civilian establishment in Pakistan as everything rests with the Army, Krishna said, "I do not want to go into the polemics of it."
He said he was looking forward to his visit to Islamabad on July 14.

The Black Hawk Transport is a Support Action to be featured in Medal of Honor: Warfighter. It is the Offensive Support Action opposite the RQ-7 Shadow for the Heavy Gunner class.
The helicopter acts as a mobile spawn for the person's entire team, while also spawning the issuer into the door gunner seat who can fire the incendiary round equipped minigun for the duration of the support action (The user can dismount whenever they choose, or after the Helicopter is disabled) The MH-60's Minigun comes with a smile inducing 999 rounds of ammo, and will overheat with a cool-down period after sustained fire (The barrels progressively start to glow brighter the longer you continue to fire). The Black Hawk is susceptible to small-arms fire as well as any support actions lucky enough to hit the bird. Following the Xbox 360 Multiplayer Beta, the Black Hawk Transport has been tweaked to show any would-be spawn campers on the mini-map that are positioned directly under the hovering helicopter. It's also worth mentioning that disabling this support action yields a significant point incentive (During the Beta, 200 points to the disabling blow).
Call the Blackhawk near an objective so players can attack or defend after rappling down.
Rifle grenades, High Power Ammunition, machine gun fire, mortar strikes, missile strikes, and the SMAW are all effective weapons against the Blackhawk. If the enemy team has a Blackhawk active, disabling it with any of these weapons should be a top priority.

I have never seen so much chocolate in the same place in my life. In fact, I may never have seen that much chocolate over my entire life to date, though this is harder to judge.
When Hannah first started talking about chocolates from the Yarra Valley Chocolaterie a few months ago, I was intrigued. For one thing, the flavours sounded fascinating. For another thing, I've never been to a chocolaterie before. And for a third thing… didn't my former chiropractor move to the Yarra Valley and start a chocolate business?
Yes, yes he did. (Hi Paul!)
The Yarra Valley Chocolaterie is a really gorgeous space in a really gorgeous location. It's situated in Yarra Glen, which seems to be a bit of winery area in the Yarra Valley, and they are working on growing more of their ingredients, so there is a budding orchard on the long hill leading down to the dam.

Hello again,
What beautiful weather has graced our area of the world today. Can we really complain? At least we're not in New York right? It's almost noon, and the great storm of 2011 has not appeared yet. I can still take some images of falling snow with some degree of visibility. Hopefully tomorrow, or at least Thursday I'll post some images of what a foot or more of snow can do to our garden. Alas, here are some pictures from this morning with minimal amounts of snow on the ground. Hope you enjoy!
Echinacea variety
In the middle is Panicum mixed with many other perennials.
An image with the woods in the background. Piet's use of grasses really works well in the winter. Using his philosophy of keeping the plants up over the winter is clearly shown why here. What beauty we'd miss out on if these were cut to the ground.
One last view with a different angle to the woods. Again, his use of various textures are really pronounced when snow falls. The different shades of brown are quite attractive as well.
Thanks again for taking the time to read the blog. I hope you are all safe today and nice and warm. Until next time, have a great day!
Midwest Groundcovers display gardens and plant trials are discussed here. New plants for each season for categories like Roses, Groundcovers, Natives, Perennials and Shrubs.
There's so much that changes in the MG landscape throughout the year...we thought a plant trial and garden blog was the best way to start sharing "what's new" and "what's happening with all those new varieties" with you! Visit often for updates on how trial plants are performing in the gardens and to see photos throughout the season as we grow and change!

A 53-year-old Adelaide man who tried to hire bikies to kill his ex-wife has been jailed for at least six years and six months.
The man, who can't be named, became consumed by anger, jealousy and bitterness after his wife left him, and started making contact with bikies to kill the woman, the Supreme Court was told during sentencing on Thursday.
The former engineer from Romania was found guilty by a jury of one count of soliciting to murder and two counts of aggravated threatening life after scheming to pay the bikies $20,000.
At various stages the man involved another person in his plans, asking for help to put cards with his contact details on cars parked outside the clubrooms of bikie gangs.
He later asked that person to swallow a USB device that contained naked pictures of his ex-wife, which he had posted on a fake social media site, in a bid to conceal the photos.
Justice Tim Stanley said it was clear from the jury's verdict that the man intended to have his ex-wife killed "and took active steps to make it happen".
He said his actions had left the woman feeling sick, anxious and frightened.
The judge said ultimately no money was handed over to the bikies but that did not detract from the seriousness of the man's offending.
"The courts are aware there are unscrupulous, amoral and vicious or desperate criminals who are prepared to kill for money," he said.
"But they are only able to do so because people like you are prepared to engage them, to make a problem go away, in this callous, cowardly and utterly contemptible way."
Justice Stanley jailed the man for 11 years and set a non-parole period of six years and six months.

As well as its scrumptious orange flesh, pumpkins yield delicious and highly nutritious seeds. Known as pepitas, they are dark green and flat with a chewy texture and rich nutty flavour. These seeds are dense in minerals, with just a quarter of a cup providing approximately half the daily recommended dose for magnesium and iron, in addition to high doses of zinc, phosphorous, potassium, selenium, manganese and copper. They also contain the amino acid tryptophan known for anti-depressant qualities, and essential fatty acids that have a wide-range of health-promoting properties.
The dark green oil produced from pumpkin seeds has been used throughout history in India, Europe and America to fight parasites, aid the digestive tract and help with prostate and reproductive disorders. It has also been recommended for pregnant and lactating women because of its high content of essential fatty acids.
Happy Seeds
Pumpkins seeds contain lots of L-tryptophan, known to have anti-depressant properties, so it's suggested eating them can elevate your mood. Pumpkin seeds also contain omega-3 fatty acids which are also known for alleviating depression and improving mental functioning in general, including memory improvement. Magnesium is known for its calming influence, with low levels often observed in those who suffer from nervous conditions, so the seeds may also help with anxiety.
Preventing Kidney Stones
Studies have shown that eating pumpkin seeds can help prevent the formation of kidney stones, reducing levels of the substances that promote the stone formation in the urine and increasing substances that inhibit that. The active ingredient responsible for this is not yet known.
Pumpkin Seeds and Prostate Health
Pumpkin seeds contain chemical substances called cucurbitacins that inhibit the body's ability to produce more prostate cells, thus helping to prevent against enlargement of the gland. The essential fatty acids in pumpkin seeds are also necessary for prostate health, as is zinc, which has been shown to reduce prostate size. In addition, low blood levels and low dietary intake of zinc has been linked to osteoperosis in older men.
Healthy Oils
Pumpkin seeds contain both omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids, vital for a broad range of health functions in the body and great for brain function too. They also contain heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
Anti-Inflammatory Aid
Animal studies have revealed pumpkin seeds to be effective at reducing inflammatory symptoms, yielding favourable results over the anti-inflammatory drug indomethacin, yet without the negative side-effects of the drug (such as increased levels of damaged fats in the joint which can actually contribute to the disease).
Pumpkin Seeds Are (Summary):
• Mineral Dense
• 'Feel-Good' Amino Acid Tryptophan
• High in Zinc
• Promotes Prostate Health
• Prevents Kidney stones

Santa brought Caroline the dollhouse for Christmas and I found her cornishboard in my parents attic and had it recovered. I found the two wooden, hot pink frames at Big Lot's for five dollars each.
Caroline's green shelf is a gift from her great-grandmother Maggie. My sister Ginny came up with the idea for the canvases over the beds. She had seen some with the words to "You Are My Sunshine" painted on them and we decided that the words to "Sweet Caroline" would be perfect (for obvious reasons). Ginny also came up with the idea to sew on the fabric letters.
It makes me sad sometimes to see my baby in her big girl room but we sure love it and are thankful for everyone's help!

By repealing Obamacare without a replacement you are leaving the country open to a crisis. Lets be honest here Republicans have had 8 years to create a replacement for obamacare, and I can think of only 4 reasons why they don't have one available.
1) Their plan includes measures that are similar to obamacare or even just fixes to it which could have been implemented in Obama's term. If this was the case however they could easily call for a wholesale replacement now and still take credit with the american public. It would also mean that they are willing to cause americans to suffer (either in withholding fixes to obamacare or withholding its replacement to distance its relations to obamacare) for partisan gains.
2) Republicans themselves are deeply divided on the issue and can't come to an agreement. If this is the case then the delay deadline will cause a crisis similar to the budget problems previously with hardliners failing to negotiate a good compromise.
3) They have a replacement but they know it'll be unpopular or detrimental to a large portion of the american people.
4) They don't plan to replace it at all, or possibly even to return systems that obamacare replaced.
The move to repeal and delay the Obamacare is an irresponsible move from the Republicans. That is pure politics because they are not offering an alternative, they want just want to hit back at the democrats because they know Obamacare care is what will build Obama's legacy. They should not play politics with the health of Americans.
The immediate repeal of Obamacare would be a horrific idea! There are so many people that rely on certain parts of Obamacare to stay alive, and repealing it would be detrimental to them. Look at the people who would be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions if it weren't for Obamacare. Look at the early twenty-somethings that are just starting off on their own and wouldn't have coverage if Obamacare didn't provdie them with the opportunity to be on their parent's policies to age 26. There are so many beneficial things that come with Obamacare, and we can't turn around and go back now.
The president-elect wants to repeal Obamacare, but the republicans have failed to come up with any viable alternatives. What are the millions of uninsured Americans supposed to do for healthcare? They will show up at the emergency rooms anyway and the rest of us will have to pick up the bill.
I am all for the delay and repeal of Obamacare. Since it was implemented, my not-wealthy family has been paying over double premiums for much worse coverage. The insurance companies are rebelling because of this act, and people who are actually paying for insurance are those who are being hurt.

(Reuters) – Senate Republicans on Monday blocked President Barack Obama's "Buffett Rule" legislation, which would have put a 30-percent minimum tax on millionaires, in a debate that is likely to resonate through the November elections.
Democrats, as expected, failed to garner the 60 votes needed in the 100-member Senate to move forward to a full debate and vote on the bill aimed at squeezing more tax revenues out of the wealthy.
Obama and congressional Republicans are squaring off this week over tax hikes for millionaires and a competing Republican plan to give new tax cuts for businesses.
Though scant changes to tax policy are expected ahead of the November 6 general election, the skirmishes will give voters a preview of debates they will hear over the next seven months.

Afraid To Tell My Parents
I first called Life Center six years ago when I found myself pregnant via a home pregnancy test. I remember the absolute dread I felt when I saw the positive result on the test wand. I new I could not have a baby under any circumstances. I was 16 years old, in my junior year of high school, and lived at home with parents who would never accept this. My sister had a baby right after high school, and my parents were depressed for months after this. They were immigrants who had worked and struggled for their children to succeed in their chosen country, My sister's pregnancy said to them they had failed. As religious people they felt they had failed as parents before God. How could I add to their despair. They had not failed our family of four children, the two oldest were girls. They wanted us to graduate, go to college and be an example to the younger brothers, Both my sister and I still wanted to give them their dream, my sister was doing her best as a single mom and was a student plus got a job to pay for the needs of her child.
So when I saw that positive result, I knew I had only one choice. This could not happen again for them.
I looked in the phone book for a place to take care of the problem. My boyfriend didn't want to end the life of this "baby". But he accepted that it was my choice and his fault, even though it really was both of us who made this baby together, The first ad I saw
in Abortion Alternatives was Life Center Santa Ana. I didn't realize that abortion was not provided by them. However, when I talked to the counselor on the phone she listened to all that I had to say, and did not react in a negative way to my request to abort. She did not criticize me for bad choices. Rather, she made me feel I could talk forever, which I felt I did. I was told to come for a lab test which I did.
When I went to the center, I went alone. My boyfriend felt overwhelmed, and I felt I could think more clearly myself. He thought I was going to set appt. for abortion, and all he wanted was to know when and where at this point. So with a pain in my heart I went to Life Center. I talked until I could talk no more. The counselor listened and guided me to seeing things in a different way. The most important thing was she asked me what I thought was happening to me, and did I feel any connection to the child within. It was at that point I really thought about the baby as real. I saw fetal models, discussed the choices I had. I left the office with another appointment set for a week later. I was told to call anytime since I could reach someone 24 hrs. a day 7days a week, I did in fact call and talked to my counselor. I was so afraid to tell my parents and break their heart. She told me that it was probable that they would be very upset, gave no false promises, but encouraged me to tell them that she was getting help. They were welcome to come to discuss their feelings and fears.
I finally told them, and ,yes, they were upset. However, no way did they want me to have an abortion. That was a definite relief, but also was a beginning which led to the best chapter in my life. My counselor and my parents encouraged me to finish high school,
which I did . My beautiful daughter was born 7 mos. later. Her father was right there with me. For the whole pregnancy we worked with the Life Center counselor . After the birth of Allana, my beautiful little girl, life was definitely changed. It was not easier, but
was much more filled with joy, achievement, and growing up. My family and boyfriend's family encouraged no marriage until later if in God's plan. Allana's father grew with me. He lived with his parents, and I with mine. We both finished school. We did have many
difficult days, especially working as best we could to provide for our daughter. But, we did grow up. I went on to become a physician's assistant, and he became certified in heating and air conditioning . We are now married, proud parents, and expectant parents. Our new baby, a girl we are told, will join our family in November.!
I have stayed in touch with Life Center all these past years, How would life be if I had not opened the phone book and called them "by mistake". The counselor is still there , and has been to family celebrations with my family. She will be thrilled to see our new little girl this Fall, and share in more joy to be.

VIENNA — President Kurt Waldheim has threatened to dissolve the Austrian government if it accepts a report questioning his World War II conduct, but the coalition parties are discussing his replacement, government sources said Thursday.
Waldheim has the constitutional right to dismiss the government and ask another politician to try to form a new one.
But it is considered impossible for the government to unseat Waldheim by constitutional means. Under Austria's constitution, a president can be unseated only if he violates the constitution or if the government and two-thirds of Parliament agree to hold a national referendum on the issue.
Reports from government sources and the daily Die Presse newspaper indicated that even Waldheim's supporters in the conservative People's Party, which governs in coalition with the Socialists, are backing away from the president.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the coalition parties are discussing possibly replacing Waldheim with Josef Ratzenboeck, head of the People's Party in Upper Austria province.

He finished eight shots behind runaway winner and defending champion Adam Constable from Cardiff who carded a course record 63 in the first round and followed with 72 on a blustery second day for a seven-under par 36-hole total of 135.
Tottey was surprised his one over par score earned him second place and check for £750.
"I hit the ball so-so, but I didn't give myself a lot of chances for birdies and missed a lot of putts from inside eight feet which was disappointing," said the 26-year-old.
"But the conditions were tough on the second day with nobody scoring that well, and I managed to birdie 16 and 17 to move up to second place."
Alexander James of Royal St David's (Harlech) was the only other North Walian in the top 12, finishing joint sixth on 146.

Are you also asking, what is the City Build Trade? Are you confused if it is a worth it investment? To clear your doubts about it, read first my City Build Trade review.
What is the City Build Trade?
City Build Trade is a construction company that is open to investment by the general public. The company claims that it is a renowned leader in the construction industry.
It has done various projects, few collaborations and nine international constructions. I am not saying all this but their home page says this.
There are many investment opportunities in the market and it is not necessary to invest in this one. My review will give you information about this company and then you will be in a much better position to decide whether you want to invest or not.
How Does City Build Trade Work?
City Build Trade has some problems that I will tell you later. But first let us begin with the basics.
You have to become a member of the company and you also have to open an e-currency account with sites like Perfect Money, egopay, payeer and solid trust pay. The form is easy to fill up and you can do so through their official website. Always deposit money through the member's area and City Build Trade can't be held liable for your loss if a loss arises.
So now it is time to tell you about the problems that I found about this company.
The company never discloses the investment plans that are available to a prospective investor. Generally a company like this discloses the different plans that are available to a prospective investor before joining but this is not the case in here. I wonder why they are not disclosing their investment plans.
Another problem which I noticed is that this company is a HYIP. HYIPs are one of the riskiest things that you can invest in.
I did some research of my own and I got some information about this company but it may be wrong as it is from some other source. I found that the company only offers one investment plan and it gives 15 percent profit daily for a minimum duration of 7 days.
You can also earn money by using the affiliate program. The company offers 2 percent commission when your affiliate deposits money in the account. The company claims that all of your investments are handled by a team of experts who specialize in this field.
How Much Does It Cost to Join?
It is free to join City Build Trade but the minimum investment amount is 1 dollar. The site never mentions about the investment plans and the minimum amount of investment.
But as what I have known in most HYIPs, in order to gain more profit you have to invest $200 – $350. And I think that this is too expensive. This site has already alerted me and my review is not finished yet so do not even think about investing. This site can be a scam so keep reading.
How Much Can I Earn?
I know right now, you are asking how much can you really earn in City Build Trade? Let me tell you, the earnings is not guaranteed. Their website don't show details on how much you could actually earn by investing in it.
But for curiosity purposes, I will tell share to you what I have researched. Their investment plan gives 105 percent return for a minimum period of 7 days.
A calculator is also available online but it is in some unofficial site so you should not trust this calculator. This is an HYIP but they do not offer the highest rate of return and it is very less as compared to some other HYIPs.
Are there Any Complaints?
Normally it is hard to find complaints about a HYIP but this time it was very easy. I found 2 or 3 complaints and they are saying that this is a scam and a Ponzi scheme.
Resembles a Ponzi scheme
I know you want to know what is a Ponzi scheme so let me tell you. Ponzi scheme is an investment scheme in which the new deposits are used to pay for the old deposits and as soon as more deposits stop coming the company stops paying and investors suffer heavy losses.
Earnings is not guaranteed
I have already said this earlier but I will point it out again. The fact that there is no clear proof of people who actually earned in this business or any testimonial you can read, that alerts me or anyone who wants to join in it.
Bottom Line
First of all you need to know what a HYIP is. HYIP is an investment opportunity that promises very high rate of returns but it is very risky and there is no guarantee of returns to anyone.
As you have noticed in the complaints section, some people think that this is a scam. My opinion is that they are right and City Build Trade is indeed a scam. Why? There are many reasons and let us see what they are.
The company has not disclosed the plans that are available for investment. This is a HYIP and most HYIPs are scams. Finally the complaints of users have convinced me that this is a scam. So I recommend you to stay away from this opportunity. Good luck.
I know that you want to invest in City Build Trade because you are hoping that it would help you earn some extra cash to pay your expenses. Unfortunately, this is not the answer to your problem. And I really don't recommend it.
Actually, I was also in the same situation as yours before. I thought that investing in programs would generate me a steady income, but then I was wrong.
On the other hand, I didn't regret joining in one. It is because of them that I learned about Wealthy Affiliate. It is an online training program that teaches people on how to build their own online business. Honestly, I was hesitant to join at first but I realized that I have nothing to lose because it is just free to join.
Right now, I am on my seventh month in the program and I am seeing the results that I have expected. With this, I also want to share my success with you.
Check out my review on the #1 recommended training program.
If you have more questions and concerns about City Build Trade, feel free to comment it below and I would be glad to interact with you.
Let me hear your experiences in the comments below!
Best regards,
John Rico

But back in 1998 when Sara Blakely was dressing for a party and suddenly realized that she didn't have the proper undergarment to wear under her white pants, she had an idea. Sara cut the feet off of her control top pantyhose, smoothed out all the lumps and bumps and her pants looked amazing. After much effort to share her idea with the world, SPANX was created.

Now we eat and be ourselves, yet look incredible and feel confident in anything we might put on.
SPANX is carefully designed to "flatten the gut" while also giving us a "great butt".

Innovating to grow sport: The wider context of innovation in sport
Year published
MetadataShow full item record
Innovation is nothing new to sport, but represents everything that is 'new' and can facilitate a competitive advantage. Broadly defined, innovation is the introduction of a new idea or behaviour in the form of a technology, product, service, structure, system or process on to the market (Damanpour, 1992; Daft,1978; Zaltman, Duncan and Holbeck, 1973). It is different to invention. Innovation moves beyond the discovery of a new idea to solve a problem and instead focuses on the market introduction of that invention to end-users or consumers (Garcia & Calantone, 2002; Osborne & Brown, 2005). In sport, technology innovation is well-established. However, the topic of management innovation for competitive advantage is critical to sport organisations and gathering momentum.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi has become the biggest film of 2017 after taking £73.1m in just three weeks and spending 22 consecutive days at number one.

140 Years and Counting Lombard's Trinity Lutheran School Celebrates History of Religious Education
Sanchez, Robert, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Robert Sanchez Daily Herald Staff Writer
In 1953 dozens of outraged mothers took dramatic action following the death of a Trinity Lutheran School student.
The women formed a human roadblock across Roosevelt Road where it meets Westmore-Meyers Road in Lombard - bringing traffic to a halt where a young girl was struck and killed by a car while walking to school.
They were protesting the lack of traffic signals and stop signs at the intersection near Trinity Lutheran School.
The protest drummed up lots of media attention. A photo of the women standing hand-in-hand across Roosevelt Road appeared on the front page of a Chicago newspaper.
More importantly, it led to the state installing traffic lights at the intersection.
It's one of many contributions to Lombard that Trinity Lutheran School parents, teachers and students are remembering as their school turns 140 years old.
"Everyone has that one great, good place," Trinity parent Lori Solyom said. "For some people, it's the bar where everyone knows their name. For Trinity church and school families, Trinity has become that great, good place."
For as long as anyone can remember, Solyom said, the school and adjoining Trinity Lutheran Church - built in 1868 - have been landmark fixtures on the northeast corner of Roosevelt and Westmore-Meyers roads.
"It's unbelievable that the school has been around that long," said Trinity Parent Sue Bower, who has a son in seventh grade and a daughter in fifth grade.
"I graduated from a Lutheran school too, so that's why I felt it was important to send my children to a Lutheran school as well," Bower said. "Trinity has been around so long and has so much to offer ... it was the clear choice."
One benefit of the school, which enrolls preschoolers through eighth-graders, is its "family" environment.
Principal Kenneth Krohse, who has been with the school since 1983, welcomes the 145 students outside the main doors every morning and sees them off as they go home at the end of the day.
Krohse said the school's size and relationship to the church create its family environment.
"The teachers and students all go to church together on Sunday and study together during the week," he said. "Everyone knows each other. I know all the students by name. I know their parents."
Bower said a positive relationship between Trinity's parents and 10 teachers helps parents be involved in their children's' education.
"You have more of a say," she said. "You are not lost in the school system. You are not just another face within a sea of faces. …

Church Membership Reported Down
Photo of Probable A.P. reporters on assignment (they are going to hell soon)
That's the headline Gadabout read in this morning's newspaper. It was an A.P. story based on 2008 data published by the National Council of Churches. After going up their website I couldn't find the report, so I'll base my facts and following statements on biased opinion and a quick look-see at Wikipedia.
First off, the A.P. story sucked. It grouped small declines in Episcopal and Presbyterian populations together as the feature, and then noted increases in other faiths – other faiths such as Catholicism. Catholics were grouped between Mormons and Southern Baptist Convention believers. Okay, just for the record a quarter of the population is Catholic. Catholics outnumber the second most popular religion by a 4:1 ratio. There are over 75 million Catholics in the United States, so it is not logical to boast a story line that Church membership is down when the predominate faith in the country is UP!
The story didn't even touch on other minority gods that represent the Jewish, Muslim, or neo-pagans beliefs. The Catholic God (the Trinity) is not going to be happy with the Associated Press for misrepresenting his Flock; especially during Lent. Somebody is going straight to hell. No passing Go and receiving $200 on the way either. Nope – straight to fires for misrepresentation of the facts. And the facts are that Catholic membership is up, and the number 2 faith (Southern Baptist Convention) is up as well. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Remember, Jesus is looking down upon you with anger and smite. He is a forgiving God, but his patience has its limits. Best you look twice before crossing the street until you retract that mess you call news.

Barack Obama is a Sissy Boy
Gadabout offers you the Haiku form "Renga" which is 5-7-5 with a 7-7 added. Usually this form of poetry is linked between two or more people and can (and have) been linked thousands of times. And yes, Barack is a sissy boy.
Barack's Creed
Run away and hide

Are You Better Off Than You Were 8 Years Ago?
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wants you dead
Gadabout wants to know if you are better off than you were eight years ago? – and yes, I refer to the great question posed by presidential candidate Ronald Reagan during the 1980 contest. I'm waiting for an answer. No, I am not interested in your thoughts on how awful it is that we are at war, or how American dignity has supposedly suffered under the evil hand of George Bush. I don't care if you despise Bush, or if you are staunch supporter. I don't care if your spoiled children are only average students at average high schools or universities. I don't care if you've put on 15 extra pounds and suffer from male pattern baldness. I am just asking you the question that sunk then President Carter (okay, it was only a 4 year question, but who is counting) and vaulted Reagan into the white house. The answer for Gadabout (excluding personal failures and an ever expanding waistline) is an empirical Yes – a Yes with a capital Y.
Now that the country is waist deep in the election process, it seems appropriate to start asking tough questions concerning public policy. Since Barack Obama has been given a pass on making actual policy statements and is allowed to run around talking about "change" and "bridges" like an excited school girl on a Friday night, it seems to me that we are engaged in a simple beauty contest for the white house. The same with Hillary. All she finds important is to lash out at the current state of affairs and how she will solve all problems. It's that simple; she is a proven leader so vote for Pedro.
It's about time Americans get over cool campaigns, youthful movements and pageantry. There is a real world out there full of twists and turns, and Gadabout wants to know who can take the reigns and steer this rocket ship on a course of success. I want to know who has the abilities to kick ass and not bother taking names. I want to know who will put together a Cabinet capable of addressing crime, energy, education, immigration and same sex marriages. I want someone who can look you straight in the eye and say "no" when it would be easier to say "yes." In short I want the next president to not be a yielding yes-man to Muslim terrorists who are dedicated to blowing up my favorite Starbucks. I want America to rule the world, and have the rest world agree that the almighty dollar is the standard. I want rapists and pedophiles locked up for life. I want Hugo Chavez and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad running for cover. I want ANWR exploited in an earth friendly fashion. I want it all, and so should you.
You might be a Bush basher, but you have to admit you know where he stands on the issues. You might cringe when he delivers an address, but you can bet the world listens with interest. Bush is a leader, not a cheerleader. Americans are leaders. Americans demand more than promises of change, balloons and waving hands. Let's put some meat on the plate and start talking reality.

The History of Suck -- Palm Pilot
Gadabout has been thinking a lot about stupid ideas. Stupid ideas that became extremely popular and revolutionized society then fizzled away into the abyss of distant memories. The Palm notebook was one of those stupid ideas. Palm successfully designed, built and marketed a cool looking device that replaced a spiral paper notebook. It was an organizational tool that made the user look hip and ready to tackle the 21st century. Those without a palm were envious of those who utilized a plastic pointer to make endless and seemingly important entries. In 1999 the U.S. Navy issued me a Palm. It was so very exciting to sit through meetings and pretend to take notes on such a splendid management tool. Gadabout was cool. Gadabout tossed the Palm into the garbage can a few months later. Gadabout went back to a notebook and trusty pencil to conduct business.
I am guessing most everyone tossed their Palms away after a year or so. If they didn't revolt by tossing them into the waste bin, then they were most likely buried alive in a box and rest peacefully after a painful death resulting from battery life failure. Palms sucked, but they sold millions of them. And maybe, just maybe, they led to useable technologies that connected to the internet like the Blackberry. In this sense, Palm was a catalyst for change. Change for the better, but Palms still sucked.
Other things that suck(ed):
- Cowboy shirts popular in the 1970's
- The Chevrolet Vega
- Black Lights
- Spandex
- ESP card decks
- Hair implants
- Toupees
- Alimony
- Pong
- 3-D movies
- Barney
- Bottled water
- Outlook Express
- Wireless mouse
- Turtleneck sweaters
- Soccer
- Coach Class airline seats
- Bluetooth
- Spam (both kinds)

A Tribute to Greatness--Dylan Thomas
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

The Current State of Affairs
Man jumps off building after an Italian dinner
Gadabout enjoyed dinner out with friends this past Friday and Saturday evenings. Both venues were Italian, and both served up above average fare. There was one unique difference between the two that is noteworthy, though. That difference was that Saturday night was twice as expensive as Friday night.
Friday night's dinner was just Gadabout and a friend. Beer and wine was involved and the tab totaled $55 including tax and a 21% tip (the service was exceptional…thanks, Zia's). Saturday's meal was a bit more complicated. Our party consisted of 6 adults and 4 children (thank you for setting up 2 separate tables and supplying pizza dough to entertain the ADD afflicted miniature people). Gadabout ate light and consumed one beer and two glasses of wine, so I am guessing I was roughly carrying a 0.04 BAC at the end of the meal. The bill for the slightly above average chow totaled $386 (tax and 20% tip included). Do the Math.
My point is that Americans toss cash into the air like confetti at a Super Bowl parade. Just in dinners, Gadabout tosses at least $5,000 out the window for slightly above average meals each and every year. Now remember, this $5,000 is after tax income and only includes weekend expenditures – not pizzas and other food purchases during the week!
Americans love to consume, and consume we do. We consume at the movie theater where we spend $40 dollars for two tickets, popcorn, diet Cokes and nachos. A 42 inch LCD? Sold! A new Lazy Boy? Sold! Tickets to the ballgame? Sold! A week in Aspen? Sold! A new Escalade? Sold! $4,000 to paint the home interior? Sold!
Americans are in debt. Debt produces anxiety in relationships that often leads to divorce. Divorces can cost mucho dollars, leading to more debt and anger. Anger towards others causes health problems and lost productivity and reduced incomes. Reduced income and spiraling debt is a shiny pathway to bankruptcy. Bankruptcy causes people to jump off tall buildings and splat themselves onto unforgiving concrete surfaces at an acceleration rate of 32 ft/sec2 (remember, Gadabout has a Masters Degree in Science).
In short, Italian dinners lead to gruesome deaths where Americans hit the pavement at a velocity of 300 feet/second. Splat! The End.

Dear Gadabout Jack
Student Doesn't Want College Dream Crushed
(Disclaimer: reprinted without permission from "Dear Abby" dated 3 Feb, 2008)
Dear Gadabout [Abby]: I am 18 and a high school graduate. I decided to attend an online university and have come to realize that this was a huge mistake. Now I am under pressure from my family to correct the mistake by either getting into a different school or getting a job.
The problem is, I do not wish to attend a university in the United States. I would like to study abroad. Whenever I mention this to my family, they laugh in my face.
My family crushed every dream I've had for as long as I can remember, and I'm asking advice on how to avoid it this time and find the strength within myself to go against what they want.—Broken Dreamer, Springfield, Tenn.
Dear Broken Dreamer: You do realize that you are a dumb-ass, right? Let's use that premise as a baseline and move along. You are attending an online "university" for an undergraduate program? Why is that? Is it because you rebelled against taking the SAT? Your family is laughing at you because you are a Goth chick with a skewed sense of reality and are what guys call "a head case."
So, you want to "study abroad" in lieu of attending a college in the "United States." You don't have any idea what to study, you just desire to "study" overseas – is that correct? The United States isn't good enough for you? Never dreamed of an Ivy League education, or attending a Big Ten Conference school? If neither of these images of scholastic achievement, or pure rock star partying has ever caught your attention, then nothing ever will. Your family knows you are freaking strange and they have every right to laugh in your face and behind your back.
Let me offer you a little piece of sage wisdom; dreams are crushed by the stupidity of the dreamer. Write that down on a sticky note and stick it on your mirror as a constant reminder that you are an idiot. Hopefully you are attractive and have a great body, because if you have neither you are really screwed in life. I heard the pizzeria down the street is hiring dishwashers. Go there, get a job and make believe you are in Rome.

What Up, China?
China sucks. China is undergoing a transportation crisis and most of the world doesn't know about it. China doesn't like the "outside" world to know how much they really suck. Millions of travelers are hanging out in overcrowded airports and train stations because of power shortages and a heavy travel season related to the Lunar New Year. They are short on coal to generate electricity. This shortage is good for West Virginia because America has plenty of coal to peddle. "Wang Ching, you want coal? We sell you coal. We love you long time."
Big government equals big problems. Don't cover up, China. It is clear that your population works for pennies on the dollar because your water supply is contaminated with lead. Your country of communists is slowly turning retarded because of the heavy metals. America busted you on this last year when you tried to poison our youth with pretty toys covered with lead paint. In America heavy metal is equated with the Stones, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, and the Who – not freaking poison. We figured out 50 years ago lead will kick your ass so we cut back on it and sue the tar out of anyone screwing up.
China does not "sue" they kill. The leaders of the toy industry that screwed up with lead based paint were executed. Not lying folks. The solution was a hasty trial followed up with a gangster Glock-Glock to the head. "Yo, Wang, Glock." What might be the outcome of an entire country forced to live in the streets for a week, whining and ill-tempered? The answer is simple enough: G-L-O-C-K. Yep, all you soccer moms out there opposing the death penalty and preparing to vote for H-I-L-L-A-R-Y should pull you heads out of your asses. The pretty little toys under the Christmas tree, your purse, the ice scrapper in the trunk, and all that is plastic and cheap is supported by Chinese radical communists who believe in Glock-Glock as a sensible business and governmental solution to decision making.
Jesus never visited China for a reason; he didn't like them and didn't want to save them. Jesus knew that they would support North Korea, lead paint and hasty executions. This is why God is punishing China today, and this is why West Virginia will profit from their sins. Gadabout is watching you, China. Gadabout sees the truth.

What Finches Did I Have at my Window Feeder?
Summary continued
...window feeder and I was able to watch them closer than before. Even when I ate!
Read first
For the meanings of bird parts which you do not understand in this Hub, see my bird glossary.
If what you want is not in there, please let me know so that I can add it into the glossary.
Window feeder w/finches
Black-capped Cickadee and Tufted Titmouse at window feeder
My first finches were the popular House Finch and the Purple Finch.
I had begun bird watching and feeding years ago. I had a tray window feeder which would have been similar to the one in the photo on the right only I could not find any previous photos of it. So I have another photo of finches at a bird feeder.
The window feeder was one of the first bird feeding accessories that I had made available. The first bird that arrived at the feeder, I believe, was the Black-capped Chickadee, and its friend the Tufted Titmouse. They are forward birds and eat from your hand almost right away. They are black and white and I began to see different colors on the feeder. Red and purple colored birds showed up soon but I also noticed an overall brown. There were four new birds in all. The brown birds which I thought were all the same type were different. The book showed me that the female H. Finch was brown. I soon learned how I was viewing the female P. Finch and the female H. Finch, but I was not yet able to tell them apart .
It was the spring and I came across a photo of a female P. Finch and it looked the same as the H. Finch. This seemed to be harder than I thought - I had to do some more reading and studying.
House Finch
Purple Finch
A few differences I noticed back then between the House Finch and the Purple Finch.
After I had bought a couple of books, I searched the computer and studied the birds - when they came to the feeder, that is - I remembered what I could without seeing them. I was able to differentiate a few things about them, being new to birding.*
* I go into further detail about them in their own hubs.
I looked at the two males and I compared them and the red on the Purple Finch. The Purple Finch had color only on its head and upper breast. While the color on the House Finch went farther down onto its belly. This was my first quick clue that would help a beginning birder. I was thrilled. I had found a way to tell the two different male species apart!
I wondered whether I would find a similar clue with the females since they were both brown, and did not seem to have any color as the males did. Hm-mm. I started reading and searching again but it took a little longer this time. Finally I discovered that even though they both had basically the same eyebrow and face/chin lines, the lines on the H. Finch were dark brown while the lines on the P. Finch were greyish or greenish. Plus the P. Finch had what you might call a slightly longer neck - barely noticeable. I would learn more as I went along, but it was not easy to go on at first. I was sure that there were other differences that I could notice about each of them.
Female Purple Finch
Female House Finch
I made personal observations that may help some of you.
I first noticed when I looked at photos between the two that the male House Finch had more of an orange tint, light red in its color. While the male Purple Finch was purple tinted, darker red.
The female P. Finch had a brownish tint to its feathers and streaks while the female H. Finch had an overall grayish tint.
That made it easier for me to tell them apart. I learned more as I read and observed more.
Such as: if I observed them closely when they ate their seeds, I would notice that each species ate them differently. Sure, each bird would not eat seeds the same way; but a closer and more careful observation and you could tell that bird 'A' ate seeds differently than bird 'B' ate the seeds. Even the males ate differently than the females ate.
House Finch singing
Purple Finch singing
Music to my ears
I still tried to tell these two finches apart from each other. I did not yet have experience in this area. I became interested in the songs that I kept hearing from them soon enough. Again, the music sounded basically the same to me even though I had read how the songs were different from each other. I guess this would take some time, but it was a challenge. I liked challenges.
The House Finch had a song which sounded like a canary melody with a bit of a buzz to it, and it usually had an ascending "zeeee" at its end.
The Purple Finch, on the other hand, sang a rich, high-spirited whimsy of fast notes on assorted waves - some notes in pairs.
It was not easy to tell them apart at first. It took some time and listening.
Finches at feederClick thumbnail to view full-size
Food for thought
If I remember correctly, it was early to mid-summer and the finches were regulars at the window feeder. So I figured that I might be able to get an idea from the seeds that they ate. It seemed they were all attracted to the sunflower seeds, but they would frequently disappear with a seed and return without it. After their appearances at the feeder slowed down, I found out something when it was already nearing the end of summer. Earlier they had been raising and feeding their young and now they were all foraging for natural food. I was not having luck so far.
To attract the House Finch, I found out that I could use a variety of seeds but they were especially attracted to sunflower and thistle seeds.
For the Purple Finch feeding, I could use sunflower, thistle and millet seed and I could either scatter them on the ground or use feeders.
Sometimes I watched them extract nuts and seeds from shells
When the House Finch, and Purple Finch, came to my window feeder, I began to observe the birds while they ate. There are beaks, bodies and routines (as other birds have for theirs) which are adapted for feeding on these highly beneficial, energy-rich diets that often come enclosed in difficult packaging (shells).
After they had picked up a seed, they began to crack it with their bill. Next, I would see their tongue rotate the seed and their beak would clamp down upon the seed again to crack it more. This process would continue until it - the shell - was completely cracked, with their tongue usually catching the seed when they were done, or they would pick up the shell again to eat the seed.
Occasionally you will see them pick up a shell, drop it, and pick up another one. They may do this once, or go through it several times. It may be for the reason that they have come across shells which are too large for their beaks and they continue searching until they have found a shell which is the correct size. Another logical reason is that the shell was too hard to crack, even though their beaks are made for this purpose.
American Goldfinch
Family Fringillidae (Finches)
The total finches worldwide is an approximate count of 218 species. I do not know if the total is a count of all of them. This includes pet finches, exotic finches and extinct Hawaiian honeycreepers and the extinct Bonin grosbeak many other types.
There are sixteen species living in North America. I believe these are called the 'true' finches. I am only familiar with this family. These are small to medium-sized birds with conical bills and often brightly colored feathers. Some species wear various shades of red, while others are yellow. (Such as the Goldfinch.) Outside of the nesting season they are sociable and often travel in groups. Many nest in northern areas, entering the United States in large amounts only when their regular food reservoir runs out. Several breed and live in Canada.

A wonderful hub on the finch family kevin. Brilliant !!!As far as I know the only Finch which feeds on our table is The Bukkfinch.
By the time I have read many more of your hubs Kevin I am going to be very knowledgeable on these birds. Got a few more to enjoy and please keep them coming.
voted up for sure.
I wish you a great weekend and love from Wales.
Yes, thistle seeds. That's what I was trying to remember the name of. We put that in our finch feeders. It's about $6 for a bag here, and we go through about 4 bags a summer.
I did notice finches love sunflower seeds. One year we had a bunch of sunflowers sprouting up all over the yard from birds dropping seeds.
This past year, I let the poke weed grow in certain areas. It cut down on the amount of seed I had to buy. Another favorite of some birds are grubs. When I dig up the flower gardens in the spring, I put the grubs in an open tray feeder. The birds go crazy over them.
But this reminds me, I didn't put out much sunflower seed this past season. I did have the thistle feeders out. But not much sunflower seed. Maybe that explains why I didn't have nearly the amount of birds we usually see.
This is wonderful. I love all the birds. We have feeders and the squirrels use to gen into them, but my hubby cured that and chased Chip and Dale away.
voted-up, awesome and beautiful post on fb and will pin to my wildlife board

It only takes twenty four hours for plaque that is not removed from your teeth to turn into calculus (tartar)! Daily home cleaning helps control plaque and tartar formation, but those hard to reach areas will always need special attention.
Once your periodontal treatment has been completed, your dentist and dental hygienist will recommend that you have regular maintenance cleanings (periodontal cleanings), usually four times a year. At these cleaning appointments, the pocket depths will be carefully checked to ensure that they are healthy. Plaque and calculus that is difficult for you to remove on a daily basis will be removed from above and below the gum line.
In addition to your periodontal cleaning and evaluation, your appointment will usually include:
Good oral hygiene practices and periodontal cleanings are essential in maintaining dental health and keeping periodontal disease under control!
