Don't you love being really excited about something, and then you finally see it in person and it's everything you hoped it would be? That's me and this OPI Swiss collection. There were a few surprises between the promo photo and the real McCoy, but I'm still picturing myself après-ski.
I swatched the collection in two parts: the cremes and the non-cremes. The only two foils are Glitzerland and Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous. I really appreciated what a chic choice OPI made for Glitzerland. It's a cool gold with silver sparkles. Lucerne-tainly is darker and cooler (steely, or charcoal-silver) than I expected. It's also the sparkliest of the bunch.
The other four shades of the group are shimmers. Cuckoo for This Color is a darkly shimmery blued green (I would love to see this shade as a creme). Yodel Me on My Cell is surprisingly fierce for a fall collection: saturated aqua blue with tiny silver sparkly shimmer. Diva of Geneva is rich magenta shimmer. The Color to Watch is an almost duochrome blue-lilac.
And then the cremes. Color So Hot It Berns is a bright, bright, warm red that exudes confidence and sex appeal. This seems like a great one for short nails. I think Ski Teal We Drop is too blue to be called teal. It reminds me of MAC's Blue India, but the color is brighter and more saturated, and I like it better. William Tell Me About OPI is this fantastic, vampy, dark, cherry purple. I'm going to wear this to death as soon as the temperature drops.
I'm Suzi and I'm a Chocoholic is a sexy, rich, browned red. It's not quite chocolate; too red to be barbecue sauce. I really like it, and I think it's a great twist on red nails. Just a Little Rosti is a beautiful wine color, another favorite. A to Zurich is a very red rose.
Thoughts? Favorites? OPI shades are $8.50 each, and the Swiss collection will be available in August.
If you're looking for the brand in-store, check Beauty Brands, Beauty First, Chatters, Dillard's, JCPenney, Pure Beauty, Regis, Trade Secret (which is going out of business), and Ulta.
These polishes were provided to me for swatching purposes.

About to add nuts and seeds to ny diet, but don't know which and how much. Heard they are a good carb source.
Need a list of nuts and seeds and their nutritional value!
Thanks for the help in advance.
17 replies
WalMart sells unsalted cashews. They taste good.
What about cashews? I eat a lot of them. Wish I could find unsalted ones.
www.nutsonline.com has an excellent product line including salt free nuts, etc. I love their salt free pistachios and other grain products that I can eat with my glucose allergy.
I subscribe to a health newsletter and in the latest edition there is a great article that talks about nutrients for the body. Under the Masgnesium listing (foods to eat for adding more magnesium in your diet), I see that the first food on the list is pumpkin seeds, 1/4 cup, having the highest amount of magnesium at 41% DV (daily value), and is 170 calories. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a couple of months ago and my doctor told me to eat almonds and when I told him that was my least favorite nut, he advised me to eat pumpkin seeds. Now I'm glad I do! Almonds are also on the list at 25% DV of magnesium and 205 calories; cashews are 22% DV, 195 calories.
The healthiest nuts are those that are not processed or cooked. Almonds are great raw as are sunflower seeds. Peanuts are ok, but not the best choice. If you want cooked nuts, choose roasted nuts, not the ones that come in a sealed container. Those that are sealed have preservatives and will just introduce more toxins into your body.
One thing I do is: I found a local nut company in Dallas and I go to Hines Nut Co. and buy fresh nuts, full of flavor.
Hi Ebe, like your post. I guess uncooked is better than cooked in terms of nutrition value. I personally like to eat cooked sunflower seeds rather than uncooked, for taste. Do you have any nutritional data that can show the difference between the 2? I would appreciate that :-)
Check the labels on the nuts to determine what they consider a serving size is and watch for salt/sodium. You can google the keywords nuts, calories, fat, sodium, etc. and find lists of the information you're seeking. Although I refer to google my favorite search engine is dogpile.com. Dogpile gives results from several search engines at once.
Nuts are good especially almonds. But you gotta be careful not to go overboard with them. They have lots of fat, even though the good fat, too many you will gain weight. I learned the hard way. The raw ones are sooooo good. Good luck
I agree with almonds - they are great emergency food but you need to watch the "good" fat intake. Almonds are high in omega 6's but have very few omega 3's in them. So if you are looking for a better nut with omega 3's I would suggest RAW walnuts!!
Raw walnuts ,almonds or pecan are my favorite when I have a hunger for something sweet. I get about 1/4cup of them and chew slowly and savor the flavor or put them on salads,chopped on fish or green beans.When I travel I make my own trailmix of raw nuts, white rasins,chopped apricots, or any dried fruit I have handy. This is so that I can cover those munchies with less damage to my BG. I always take out a small portions and put the bag away so I don't eat the whole bag. Control! control! LOL
my fav's are pumpkin, sunflowers, soy and almond.
My personal favorites here are sunflower and almonds. Have you grabbed a copy of "Calorie King"? Otherwise go to www.calorieking.com and enter in nuts to see what it will give you. It is pretty cheap book and will help you find EVERYTHING you are pretty much looking for except fast foods. That book would be Nutrition in the "Fastlane" or www.franklinpublishing.com Emerald came out with prepackaged nuts that are low in carb. I hope this helps you out.
Nuts are a relatively LOW source of carbs which is why they are good for a diabetic diet. They ARE high in fat, but if you eat them raw, versus roasted, you are getting the good fats. Although I believe there is some disagreement as to whether or not roasting destroys the Omega 3 oils. Also, the raw nuts won't be loaded with salt, which is rarely good for you in that quantity. We like to nibble almonds, walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds and my guilty pleasure, pistaschios. Don't have any lists handy though of which are the best, although almonds and walnuts rate pretty high in the reading I've done.
I eat almonds and walnuts, here's a good recipe for walnuts.
1- egg white beat until frosty
1- cup of Splenda
2 - T Cinnamon
1lb Walnuts
Beat egg white until frosty and put your walnuts in the egg whites and coat well. Then you dump then into the the Splenda and cinnamon and coat well and bake them in a 250 degree oven for 1 hour turning them every 15 minutes . Cool and enjoy. Bake on cookie sheet. A good healthy snack. Love them. Let me know if any one tries them.

April was a long month, and May is going to be super busy. So, let's jump right in and wrap this sucker up!
April Goals:
1. Really refine First 3 and Second 1. Run through them a few times and video at least once before the schooling show at the end of the month. Figure out where the points are, and how we are best suited to go after them.
Yes! I schooled these tests to death in April, and it really paid off at Heartland when I could ride the tests from memory and feel like I was stringing together actual work instead of scrambling to prepare for a movement because I was late remembering it.
|Hells yeah! Square halt!
2. Amp up the pressure during the first half of the month. Really focus on quality of gaits and transitions, and keeping consistent connection. Need to push more movements together, and great a little stress so Guinness and I find riding tests almost easy when we get to them.
I DID end up increasing the pressure at the start of the month, then backing it off the week before the show. I do think this helped us some. However instead of increasing pressure on things we already knew, I pushed for an increase in flexion from Guinness which wasn't something we'd been practicing, and I think I fried him for the show. Of course, that stuff needed (and is still undergoing) work, so I don't feel too badly about it. We're almost to a point where I can see the light at the other end of the flexion tunnel, and I'm came back from the show ready to amp the pressure right back up. Before my next show, I'll probably decrease the pressure a little bit less than I did last for Heartland. I think I was a little too complacent, and he fell flat in the ring.
3. Keep working on renvers/travers. Try to get a thorough understanding of them, and reliably get a few steps without tension.
Success! I worked on these with Nancy, and she showed me just how much I need to ask for to maintain proper bend/flexion without losing the hind end. She also went through the aids, and I'm feeling able to ask for these successfully every ride. They aren't very advanced or showy, but we're only 2nd level. (It's amazing how often I have to keep reminding myself that 2nd level work is not going to look like Grand Prix work. Duh.)
4. Have a good experience at the schooling show. Focus on relaxation and clear communication. Keep myself focused and riding every moment of the test, not letting the test ride me. Aiming for upper 60s at First and lower 60s at Second. Scores are secondary to good productive rides.
Fail on the scores (Upper 50s in both tests ... ouch), but winning on the focus, relaxation, communication and cognizant riding. I honestly think our scores would have been higher at another show, though I don't think they were horribly unfair either. The rides were good preparatory rides for the season, and our work is only improving.

I honestly think our scores would have been higher at another show, though I don't think they were horribly unfair either. The rides were good preparatory rides for the season, and our work is only improving.
|Good experience, better turnout. Priorities...?
5. Continue to develop the medium trot.
Uh ... yes. But only insofar as as I have been working hard to increase the overall engagement of all gaits and establish a better base of straightness. This results in better mediums, though I can't say we've really been practicing them.
6. Master the french braided forelock (and have fabulous show turnout all wrapped up).
Total success! I braided two forelocks at the last show. (Note: Full, luscious cob forelocks are way easier to braid than wispy thin thoroughbred forelocks. Or maybe I just don't speak "thin hair" well, as my own hair is massively thick. Whatever.)
|Connor's forelock is clearly winning here...
Personal April Goals:
1. Run a 7 miler!
Yes! I churned out 7.2 miles last weekend, and am looking at doing another 7 miler this weekend. It's good to have my distance mojo back. However, I am going to need to start running earlier in the morning and trying to avoid the parts of town with unchained pitbulls. The dogs were pretty frazzled by the end of last weekend's run.
|"Mom, get it together. It's starting to get hot out here!"
2. Keep weekly mileage at 15 miles or higher.
Winning again! I only had one week last month where my mileage dipped. I'm feeling okay about that. Rest times are good!
3. Get cracking on personal projects that have been languishing for the last month.
Uh. No. Big Fail. April was the month of zero-motivation. May is feeling much better, though!
May Goals:
1. Work through the tension and temper tantrums going from straightness to flexion is causing in Guinness, and establish better overall straightness and balance.
2. Keep up with 2nd 1 and review and get comfortable with 1st 2. Video rides again a week out from Harmony.
3. Push hard at the beginning of the month and up to Harmony in the Park in the middle of the month. Then, let Guinness have a good week off.
4. Have a good experience at Harmony in the Park at the middle of the month. Look for confident rides that are more representative of our capabilities. Try to ride every ride, and stay present in the moment. Don't hope Guinness is with me, but actively make it so.
5. Finish Bronze scores at 1st level.
6. Get Bronze score at 2nd level.
5. Get out hacking more. At least once a week for a long ride, or twice a week for a short one.
Personal May Goals:
1. Yoga. Once a week. Do it!
2. Run a 9 miler. Increase weekly average to 17 miles, try to push for one week of 18-20.
3. Keep up with my daily routines and stop letting ice cream and peanut butter sabotage my life. (Anyone else eat multiple jars of peanut butter in a week? No? Just me ...?)
3. Stop falling behind at work. Procrastination is not my friend, no matter how nice and friendly it seems to be.
4. Get my plants/flowers planted, my yard looking less like a trailer park, and my screened in porch ready for the summer pizza party season.

John Dingell at Stadium bridges groundbreaking: 'We had to yell twice as loud to get this one'
Ryan J. Stanton | AnnArbor.com
The 83-year-old spans over South State Street and the nearby Ann Arbor Railroad tracks will be completely demolished starting next week as part of a $22.8 million project that includes replacing them with new spans and added features for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Dingell, who is given credit for helping Ann Arbor secure a $13.9 million federal TIGER grant for the project, remarked that "Thanksgiving came early this year."
"We all did this," added Dingell, paying tribute to the community support. "We have a peculiar system of government, but believe it or not, it works if everybody pulls together."
Dingell, D-Dearborn, called the condition of the Stadium bridges "terrible," but he also said it was terribly competitive trying to secure federal funding for them.
Ryan J. Stanton | AnnArbor.com
"A lot of people said, 'Well, this is a complete waste of time — he isn't going to do anything,' " Dingell recalled of Porcari's visit. "Well, it turned out he did."
Dingell said the federal funding almost didn't happen.
"This thing nearly cratered," he said. "On one of the days not long before the grant was made, I got a call from the secretary's office, Mr. LaHood, who happens to be an old friend, and he said, 'John, if you don't show some evidence of community support, we're not going to be able to give you the grant.' I said, 'Say no more.' So I started calling people."
Mayor John Hieftje acknowledged the deteriorating condition of the Stadium bridges has been a sore point in the community in recent years. He maintains the city made the right choice to wait for federal funding so not to deplete the city's local streets fund.
He said that's how the Broadway bridges were funded several years ago, and Ann Arbor residents now can expect a project of similar quality along Stadium Boulevard.
"I haven't talked to anyone in town who's ever been over that bridge who doesn't think that project turned out very well," Hieftje said of the Broadway project. "It's a beautiful bridge and we're going to do the same thing here."
Michigan Department of Transportation Director Kirk Steudle and Russell Jorgensen of the Federal Highway Administration both were on hand for today's groundbreaking ceremony.
Ryan J. Stanton | AnnArbor.com
"Whoever was in charge of the weather, wonderful," Steudle said of today's 40-degree temperature. "Hopefully that's a great omen of how this project's going to go."
Jorgensen reminded Ann Arbor officials of just how lucky they are to have secured federal funding for the Stadium bridges.
There were two rounds of TIGER grant funding, with about 51 projects selected from more than 1,400 applications across the country in the first round.
"The second time around, there was about half as much money and there were just as many applications," Jorgensen said. "So the fact that this project was one of the 41 capital improvement projects selected from around the whole county out of that list is truly a testament to the congressman, the city and everybody else that backed this project."
Jorgensen noted Ann Arbor also received the 16th highest amount of money of the 41 projects that were selected for funding. He said there's one more round of TIGER grants coming and hopefully Michigan will get its fair share and then some.
"The needs are great and the money is few, but projects that are worthy certainly will rise to the top," Jorgensen said.
At that, Dingell quipped: "We had to yell twice as loud to get this one."

Well thanks for yelling twice as hard. I must say that 83 year old men either look creepy or adorable and even though I would never vote for him he does fall in the adorable grandpa category (and I thank him for his civil service too). But I would still like to see him retire all the same. as for the yelling part, well, the Stadium bridge is part of the M-dot Business loop isn't it? it is a main artery through what is one of the biggest economic centers of the state. So they really needed to help out with the bridge anyway, now didn't they?
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 6:45 p.m.
How much did the hammers cost? Were they purchased with funding that was to be used to replace the bridges? What became of those props after the photo op?
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 4:38 p.m.
No mention of the 200 protestors on hand. Typical A2.com reporting.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 7:36 p.m.
What were they protesting?
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 3:31 p.m.
Moan and cry when it is not being fixed, moan and cry about high taxes, moan and cry when it is being fixed. It really is sad to read Americans comments here on A2.com. There is a fix, all of the Whiners can run for office and/or get jobs in the "greedy" public sector. Ya'll can show us how to get the job done with 1/2 the pay and no benefits, then nobody will be able to whine and cry about the job you are doing. Everything will be better. Then what will you moan and cry about?
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 2:18 p.m.
Thank You John Dingell. This "old dude" has done more for the people in the State of Michigan at a Federal level than 99% of those punching keys on their laptops lambasting him for his tireless efforts at making Michigan a more desirable place to live than most places in this country or many others.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 1:08 p.m.
Jorgensen reminded Ann Arbor officials of just how lucky they are to have secured federal funding for the Stadium bridges. It is pathetic to rely on luck to repair our infrastructure. We have outsourced our future to a small minority of Washington elites to decide if we are worthy of their access to other peoples money. Benjamin Franklin said those who give up liberty for security will have neither.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 4:19 a.m.
Dingell is part of the problem in washington not the solution. Do you believe this government and country is headed in the right direction or same old, same old, bad direction. Dingell gets some bridges repaired and all is well. All hail dingell. Please. Ask Dingell why this country is still dependent on OIL. Dingell is a prime example of a hanger on that should of been replaced 20 years ago. Come on wake up this government is not working and this country is showing the results.
Daniel Soebbing
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 11:10 p.m.
Actually Dingell did spend a lot of time torpedoing environmental legislation when he was the chair of the House Energy and Commerce Committee. His biggest backers have always been the UAW, thus he has tended to favor legislation that protects the traditional interests of the big 3. CAFE standards probably would have been a lot higher in the early 90s if a representative from any other state other than Michigan had chaired that committee. That's not to say that any kind of progressive legislation that would have led to the end of the prominence of the petroleum industry was being proposed in the 80s or 90s. But a lot of chances to implement incremental changes were lost.
Wolf's Bane
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 12:22 p.m.
Your going to blame Dingell for our dependency on oil???? Never mind the lobbyists, the powerful relationships that everyone in DC enjoys with the mideast? Blame a lone Democrat? Illogical.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 2:09 a.m.
O come on. Give me some dynamite and a button. A tiny mallet hammer is not going to bring that thing down. And we spent money on this? Get real folks. Totally lame.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:47 p.m.
OK, so we finally have the money and the project will start next Monday, Nov. 28, but did I read a related article correctly - The entire project will be complete by May 2013. 2013!!!!!2013!!!!!!! It took 1 year and 45 days to build the EMPIRE STATE Bldg. and we need 17 months to build a little bridge over a State St. and the railroad tracks. What's wrong with this picture??????
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:38 p.m.
Pretty sure this is a good example of how to spending federal money. Per this article, replacing the bridge on Stadium street will cost approximately $22.8 million dollars. This would have been a huge cost to the city of Ann Arbor. I also doubt Washtenaw County or the State of Michigan would have come running to assist. Anyways, I'm glad the bridge is (finally) getting replaced, long overdue.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 5:03 p.m.
Would we have spend $22million to replace the bridges if we were spending our own money, or would we have chosen a less ostentatious design?
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 1:35 a.m.
No problem on the grammar, it's the fact that this "federal" money is still coming out of your, or most likely, your children's pocket. TIGER is coming out of the "stimulus" package, one of those putting America back to work things that was almost shovel ready. In a year, when it's done, those working on this project can then claim unemployment.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:39 p.m.
Wow, talk about a bad example of grammar. " ... how to spending [sic] federal money." Should be "How to spend federal money." My bad.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:24 p.m.
Now you're trying to buy votes? Where's the $4 billion in mass transit funding every other state but Michigan enjoys John? This is pathetic.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 10:52 p.m.
Why in the world is Federal Funding used for non-Federal roads. This is a city responsibility. Ann Arbor should be ashamed.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:41 p.m.
It is a city road, but the cost ($22 million) would have been a huge cost for the city.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 10:43 p.m.
Good job Dingleberry! It's about time this town gets some much needed REAL infrastructural improvements, instead of wasting money on bike lanes and pedestrian crosswalks.

Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 10:02 p.m.

Could not agree more towny. I have been voting him out for the last 3 elections and nothing. Guess we are use to being taxed to death.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:18 p.m.
Yeah thanks for hanging on forever and not letting new blood in that will really do something. same old same old look where it has gotton this country right down the drain.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:44 p.m.
The Slickster raised my Michigan taxes $1200 this year. Do you think any of that money is going to do any good for the state? Build a bridge or two, pave a road? No, its going to subsidize business in Michigan, to the tune of $1.8B, so they can build their Chinese plants and hire their Chinese workers. I will bet that Mr Dingle didn't sign the Grover Norquist no tax pledge, he's way too smart. Lucky we got the bridge money before all the massive cuts in Fed spending go through thanks to Grover and his Republican pledge drones.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 12:28 a.m.
And you pay both state and federal gas taxes for transportation infrastructure maintenance and improvements. Those providing interstate commerce (trucking) pay thousands of dollars, per year, per vehicle for the same. Yet we need to use borrowed TIGER funds to replace an 80 year old bridge in a medium sized Midwestern city. I'd say we do need a tax pledge until our money is used wisely. Sad.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:25 p.m.
The real hold up here was the regulatory hoops they (City)had to jump through to replace the bridge. What's really interesting is this bridge lasted 83 years and was built without any goverment regualtions. The new one won't last 50 and will cost 10 times as much (in the same relative dollars) to meet every EPA ,OHSA, NHTSA , DEQ and whatever other regulaion they can tack on to it .
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:18 p.m.
To deletedcomment; towny; andys and others who think Dingell is too old to serve: I hope when you are his age, members of the community are kinder to you than you are to him. As long as he can do good, and he does, let's keep re-electing him. His experience in DC proves what's wrong in Lansing with terms limits. We the people should be able to choose who we want to represent us. If we feel at some point he isn't serving our best interests, then, sure, unseat him. It's supposedly the American way. For better or worse, his experience in DC and the political games that have to be played to get what you want however disgusting it might seem, is invaluable to our state. I admire Bill Clinton but he had very little idea how to work the DC system when he went to DC in 92 and was considered an outsider at the time. Their 8 years of experience there helped Hillary in my opinion be a more experienced politician today. I don't agree with the system, but right now it's what we have. I'm glad our mayor and Dingell waited for federal funds instead of our own. And for those of you who think Dingellis too old to serve: where were you when Reagan was running for office? Now a really big question for all of us: how long will this take and what is going to happen to our major thoroughfare of Stadium Blvd. during construction? Will we be detoured and how? Why are we waiting for winter to start this?
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 3:27 p.m.
MICHIBEST- the bridge was built by the government, same as it is now. The engineering will or has been handed to an outside firm. So, it appears you are whining about things being done the same way they were done before.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 3:01 a.m.
So who is old enough to serve??... He still has the experience too. Maybe we should only have senior citizens serve as state reps.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 10:30 p.m.
Dingle may have been great in his time but he has contributed woefully to the overspending problems for many years. We need people in Congress who are willing to control spending, identify those items that are wasteful (and be vey very vocal about them), and do what's best for the country. I know that finding dollars for Michigan is important but the economic woes need a concerted effort to right the many years of wrongs. If not, we are headed for a greater economic disaster.

+1 on the respect for Rep. Dingell. As to your questions, the City intends to provide answers about schedule and detours at http://www.annarborbridges.org/. As for the project start time, I assumed the idea was to wait until the football season was over. To those who claim that the old bridge has lasted 83 years, note that the part that is failing is the deck over State Street, which was replaced more recently, possibly in the 1970s although I don't know the exact year. What I'm hoping for is that someone will step up and replace the "you animals are people" graffito, once the bridges are complete, in the manner of "McGovern for truth" on the fence at Kingsley and First.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:29 p.m.
Dogpaddle why are we waiting for winter? Because it is being run by a bunch of idiot bureaucrats like Dingell instead of good smart construction engineers who built the first bridge that lasted 83 years.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:58 p.m.
Bringing home the bacon - that's what it's all about! Dingell (Levin, Stabenaw) has done sooooo soooo much for Michigan -- look at us among the 50 states, we are always in the top 10% aren't we? Hummm. But look at what HE did with OUR money!!! Why do we need to send tax dollars to D.C., let them skim 20% off the top, and then send it back for a bridge project in A2 only to make Dingell or any other politician (R or D) look great? This is either a city or County road issue and the politicians and money grubbers who like to dole out (return) our money to fix this bridge from D.C. is a sick example of what's wrong with government run amuck, especially the federal government.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:16 p.m.
Right On. you nailed it. they hang on forever too just to skim some more.

Note the same people that moan about taxes being too high are the ones complaining that it took so long to get the bridge repaired or moan about maintenance not being done. Too rich!
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:54 p.m.
As old as the guy is he still moves faster than the other 500+ members of congress. How sad that is.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:48 p.m.
The mayor is brave to stand so close to someone with a sledgehammer.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:47 p.m.
I can hardly wait to see the bridge that Dingell built in all it's glory with pristine new bicycle paths..........Where do all of our gasoline taxes go? To some other government budget like our social security "lockbox"? The one most important thing about Dingell is that he is a reminder of how government has wasted trillions of tax dollars to the point we can't even fix our roads so that he can be in another photo op. Even better is the fact that he has been there long enough to own all of the mess we are in financially. Thanks Mr. Dingell!
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 10 p.m.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:43 p.m.
Yeah, our money has to first be cycled though DC once, so that we can praise guy's like Dingle for returning some (not all) of it back to us. You are just peachy Mr. Dingle, for returning our money to us.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:19 p.m.
Dingle is the spiting image of Henry Fonda in On Golden pound. How does this fossil keep getting re-elected?
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:45 p.m.
andys: Have you ever met John Dingle? I've been to his Town Hall meetings and he is the kind of politician I wish we had more of -- experienced, non-ideological, and a gentleman.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:24 p.m.
Just look at what runs against him.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:15 p.m.
Is this newsworthy????????????? With all of the problems Michigan has, shouldn't Mr Dingell be in Lansing doing something worthwhile? Unbelievable...I guess this is what you get when you vote in someone that is far too old to do anything pertinent to the people of Michigan! Only in Ann Arbor!
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:50 p.m.
I'm checking to see just what Mr. Dingell "works" on while in D.C. Could he have missed the fund raiser attended by other Michigan democrats (S. Levin and Conyers) for, get this, Charlie Rangel? It was just last week and was attended by Pelosi and Hoyer as well. The event was $500 for cocktails and $5000 to be "political action chairs". "No corporate checks please" read one solicitation under Rangel's name. This comes just 11 months after he was summoned to the well of the Congress while Pelosi read the letter of censure for his 11 ethics violations.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:45 p.m.
Concerned Citizen, State government and Federal government are two completely different bodies. Congressman Dingle is part of the Federal government so, no, he probably shouldn't be in Lansing, MI. As far as Federalism and the entire debate on how Federal money, which is seperate from State money, should be spend, don't you think repairing/replacing a bridge is "worthwhile"? I have no problem with my tax dollars (State or Federal) going to replace roads, bridges, etc.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:35 p.m.
Actually, Representative Dingell is a US Congressman in the House of Representatives which means he works in Washington, DC when not in his District working with the constituents that he represents.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:30 p.m.
Concerned, Mr Dingle works in Washington. He is doing something, how many jobs do you think will be created when the bridge work starts?
Kara Marie
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:12 p.m.
Just tear it down already. And don't take a year to replace it... not cool.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 3:23 p.m.
Clearly a lot of people have no idea what it takes to build things, but they know how to whine about other people actually getting it done.
Kara Marie
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 5:39 a.m.
I just hope they are working every second they can, no slacking. But I do agree on a safe bridge.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 11:46 p.m.
I hope the construction workers take as long as reasonably needed to ensure the bridge won't fall over.

I am totally on board with you towny. Time to retire the old fossil.

you must be kidding.
Wolf's Bane
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 10:03 p.m.
Dig some respect, Representative Dingell has done more for Michigan than anyone else.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:03 p.m.
The bridges that we are replacing are younger than the congressman.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 7:56 p.m.
Retire already old man.

O goodie a 3rd person who agrees with retiring the old fossil.

The money will dry up once businesses dry up. Remember that government only functions because of the tax revenue that the people earn through business.

Rather ungracious of you. Without him, the money will dry up.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 7:21 p.m.
The juxtaposition of the magnificent Michigan Stadium, Michigan Golf and Outing course on the left, Power Center on the right when one (with relief) makes it over the bridge safely going west is amazing. Isn't the stadium and other UM facilities built by the taxpayers.? For all those who constantly gripe about how everything is someone else's fault, run for office, volunteer and do something to change things. There weren't any homeless people before Ronald Reagun, see what can be done by just one person?
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 10:05 p.m.
Those athletics facilities are being built with NO tax collections or university general fund support.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9 p.m.
No,SUITS, they do not run for government, they do not apply for jobs fixing roads and bridges at lower wages than the current employees. They whine and moan, but don't actually do much about what they whine and moan about. Nor do they want to raise taxes to what they were under Reagan, or do what Reagan did to (kind of) balance the federal budget...raise taxes and do away with loopholes.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:56 p.m.
I think you mean Crisler Arena, not the Power Center. And it's Ann Arbor Golf &Outing and the UofM Golf Course on the left. And really, no homeless before Ronald Reagan? Not gonna defend #40 but it's not that simple.

Basically, our local politicians waited years, harming our city's image and its businesses, so that it wouldn't have to pay for the new bridge. That's "democracy" in a one-party town. Thanks, mayor.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:20 p.m.
It worked. It's getting done without AA going broke. So, just breathe a sigh of relief. Save your energy for remains amiss. There's enough to keep you busy.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 7:14 p.m.
What a picture Dingelfritz with a hammer in his hand you can tell he doesn't have a clue what it is. Thank Obama! Gee is the money coming out of his pocket? Classic taking credit for something that should have been done with the Tarp funds from 2 years ago oh where did that money go?

And were started in the Bush administration and continued under Obama. On a lighter note, on the east coast, a prankster placed an almost exact duplicate of the usual "this project sponsored by TIGER, putting America back to work" construction zone propaganda sign. It read, "and paid for by China now, and your children later". It was up for at least 2 weeks before someone snapped a picture of it and made the local paper.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:30 p.m.
And were repaid, generating a profit for the government.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:56 p.m.
TARP funds were for the bailout of banking firms, not infrastructure rebuilding.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 6:37 p.m.
Thanks to Representative Dingell, Secretary LaHood, and the Obama Administration for the funding that will allow this bridge to finally be repaired !
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 1:19 p.m.
Thanks?!? Thanks?!? Dingle has lost all respect on the hill especially of his OWN party. Why do you think it took him this long to get this funding?
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 4:52 a.m.

John the Dinosaur is older than the bridge! Everyone wants to take credit now. Nobody owned the bridge for years!
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 2:15 a.m.
I own the bridge and Dingel wants credit for it. It was that dinosaur that made part of it come down. Stadium bridge is falling down.....repeat that a few times....
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 6:10 p.m.
First of all, I'm thankful that this project is FINALLY underway. However, I'm NOT thankful for the mismanagement by the city over the years that allowed the bridges to get to this state. But, it's really a perfect example of why infrastructure is declining all over Michigan and the United States. The politicians refuse to deal with the problem and kick the can down the road for future generations (like my kids) to deal with. Like almost every other difficult decision that requires a backbone, they won't make the funding of infrastructure a priority, so they just don't do anything. Meanwhile, our state and country continue their steady slide toward mediocrity relative to the rest of the world. Next election, voters need to send a clear and resounding message to politicians that fiascos like the Stadium Bridges won't be tolerated any more.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:31 p.m.
The responsibility for Washtenaw is more with the state than the city. Hold to account the governor and legislature than are not providing sufficient highway funds, not just the city.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 6:04 p.m.
83-year old spans? The bridge is almost as old as John Dingell (85 yrs.)
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:32 p.m.
Yeah, but he is still holding up.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 5:54 p.m.
while I am happy for the federal funding and pleased that these bridges are finally going to be repaired, I am disgusted with the roulette game that Ann Arbor's City Council played with the lives and well-being of their citizens and tourists as these bridges crumbled to the streets below. The council got lucky while gambling. Thats obscene.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:58 p.m.
"I am disgusted with the roulette game that Ann Arbor's City Council played with the lives and well-being of their citizens and tourists as these bridges crumbled to the streets below" Care to provide the results of your structural analysis to back up this claim?
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:35 p.m.
No more obscene than your persistence on seeking political advantage from the issue in the face of success.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 7:02 p.m.
Yes, a real disappointment for the legions of fans and citizens who clamored and begged for the opportunity to pay for the bridge.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 5:53 p.m.
Meanwhile Ann Arbor taxpayers spend ungodly amounts on Art while infrastructure fails.
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 1:13 p.m.
"1% = ungodly?" YES, especially when police and FIRE are being cut first! They also need to show some intelligence and convert the ALL Pensions to 401K Just like everyone else.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 9:56 p.m.
1% = ungodly?
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 8:56 p.m.
How much of the overall budget is spent on art?
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 6:56 p.m.
Maybe the bridge could be called "a work of art" and then the art fund could be exhausted on the bridge leaving additional funds to take care of other infrastructure problems.
Mon, Nov 21, 2011 : 5:53 p.m.
Thank you Representative Dingell!!!
Tue, Nov 22, 2011 : 5:15 p.m.
Yes - for wasting $23M on a project that could be completed for a small fraction of that amount.

MILLBURN, NJ - Get ready to tap your feet and scream like a teenager (even dance in the aisles) when you see this hit musical! The rockabilly rhythms are guaranteed to keep you moving in your seat!
The fun begins with the opening number, Carl Perkins' ('Blue Suede Shoes") performed by the multi-talented James Barry, who also the musical director in the production. The action really gets going with the second song, Jerry Lee Lewis' "Real Wild Child", performed by the incredibly versatile Nat Zegree. This very impressive young actor can play the "PIE-AN-UH" like no one I've ever seen; blind-folded, on his knees, upside down. His performance throughout the show is truly remarkable, as if the 88 keys were a natural extension of his hands.
Scott Moreau is a natural playing Johnny Cash, with his powerful, deep voice and black clad swagger on stage. Of course, there's Elvis to round out the quartet. Alex Boniello brings it all; the hips, the hair and the tunes.
Elvis' (fictitious) girlfriend Dyanne, played by the beautiful Bligh Voth, delivered a sultry and seductive version of "Fever", the song made famous by the legendary pop and jazz signer Peggy Lee.
The musical is set in the recording studio of Sun Records. Producer Sam Phillips (played by Jason Loughlin) gathers the (then) known and unknown musicians together just before Christmas of 1956. We find out how these musicians got their start between the jam sessions and some insight about the tough music business in the '50s.
With the accomplished Sam Weber (plays Brother Jay) on the bass and David Sonneborn (plays Fluke) keeping the beat on the drums, this incredible cast blends the perfect orchestration of stories, songs, music and dance.
It's one of those musical you just don't want to end!
Million Dollar Quartet is currently playing at the Paper Mill Playhouse through April 23. Visit www.PaperMill.org for ticket information.

Title: L.A. Candy (L.A. Candy #1)
Author: Lauren Conrad
Publisher: HarperTeen
Release Date: June 16, 2009
Source: Purchased
Buy the Book: Amazon / Book Depository / Indigo
Los Angeles is all about hot clubs, cute guys, designers...everything. Nineteen-year-old Jane Roberts and her BFF, Scarlett, can't wait to start living it up. And when a TV producer wants them to star in a "reality version of Sex and the City" they can hardly believe their luck. Their own show? Yes, please!Soon Jane is television's hottest star and she's lapping up the VIP treatment with her entourage of new pals. But those same friends are also angling for a piece of her spotlight. In a city filled with people chasing their dreams, it's not long before Jane realizes that everyone wants something from her and nothing is what it seems to be.
Jane and Scarlett are two best friends new to L.A. Jane is there to begin an internship with a famous event planner, putting off college to do so, and Scarlett is starting college at U.S.C. Everything seems to be going like they thought it would until one night they are approached by a TV producer in a club. He wants them to be the stars of his new reality show about girls living in L.A. Jane and Scarlett decide to do the show and everything changes. They meet Madison and Gaby, the others girls on the show, and from there their adventures in L.A. really begin.
Even though she's the main character, I had trouble liking Jane. She was portrayed as being really naïve and innocent but sometimes it almost felt overdone. There were moments when I just sat there reading and thinking that there is no way someone can be that naïve. She was just too trusting of everyone. I can understand wanting to try new things and looking for new experiences but you don't necessarily have to jump on the first opportunity that presents itself. Jane wasn't a bad character in any way, she just felt like the stereotype of the innocent girl in the big city.
Scarlett, on the other hand, I really liked. Her character felt more realistic than Jane's. It might have something to do with the fact that she was not what she appeared, being a pretty girl with major brains, or the fact that she wasn't like Jane. Scarlett felt more real, she had accepted to be on the show but at the same time she was annoyed with everything that came with it. She knew not to trust everyone and she wasn't afraid to voice her opinion. I just liked Scarlett better than I liked Jane. Why? I'm not sure I can explain all that clearly.
As far as the story goes, it was quite enjoyable. Sure at times I was forcing myself to keep reading but there were other times when I just kept turning the pages without really realizing I was doing it. The story is original and I liked the fact that it was based on reality. It gave insight into what the people on reality shows go through on a day to day basis, which shows that what we see on the screen isn't necessarily reality.
Overall, I enjoyed L.A. Candy more than I thought I would. It wasn't anything really deep or full of meaning but a good summer read. And I may just pick up the sequel, Sweet Little Lies, next time I go to the bookstore.

CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. - A military spokeswoman on Thursday confirmed Pfc. Jesse V. Spielman and the rest of the group accused in an Iraqi rape-slaying recently returned to the United States for pretrial confinement.
Four soldiers from the Army's 101st Airborne Division based in Fort Campbell, Ky., have been recommended for court-martial in the March assault.
The soldiers had been detained overseas, but have been sent to an undisclosed location in the United States, Fort Campbell spokeswoman Cathy Gramling said.
She said she has not been made aware of the level of confinement, which would dictate whether the soldiers were assigned duties.


text: By Marjorie Zastrow Brown County Extension Service Between Thursday and Dec. 31, Medicare recipients will have an opportunity to make changes concerning their prescription drug coverage under Medicare Part D for 2008. The open enrollment period will allow policy holders, as well as those enrolling for the first time, to review policies available to be sure they have the coverage which best fits their needs. Private companies on a yearly basis revise the plans they offer and position themselves in the market and create marketing strategies to entice new clientele. For Medicare Part D recipients, this creates the necessity to evaluate if the plan they are currently enrolled in is the best option for them in 2008. Beneficiaries may find significant differences between the coverage they have in 2007 as compared to 2008, if they stay with the same company in respect to the prescription drugs they cover (the formulary), the terms and cost of the coverage. In 2008, there will be 52 standalone plans, of which 28 offer enhanced benefits (over and above what the Medicare contract requires). Thirty plans of the 52 do not have a deductible and the premiums range from $13.90 to $99. Each Medicare recipient has a unique "prescription profile" (the prescription drugs they take, the dosage and frequency they take the medication), so what plan is appropriate for one person may be significantly different for another person when considering their prescription profile. It is important that individuals check out plans that fit their personal situations. Individuals who enrolled in a Medicare Prescription Drug policy in 2007 should have received, or will be receiving, a notice from their company informing them of their 2008 Policy coverage and rate. If individuals had a policy that does not cover a prescription drug they take, if they met the doughnut hole, if their plan formulary is changing or if there will be a premium increase, they certainly want to explore 2008 coverage and premium options from all companies offering policies. Though participation in a Medicare Part D policy is optional, individuals who do not have credible coverage when they were able to select coverage will face a 1 percent per month penalty added on to their premium. The penalty is based on the National Average Premium. Individuals who have not enrolled and have been eligible for coverage since May 2006 will face a 13 percent ($3.64) penalty added on to their monthly premium if they choose coverage for 2008. If they do not choose coverage during the open enrollment (Nov. 15-Dec. 31), they will not be able to select coverage until open enrollment late next year and will then face a 25 percent premium penalty for coverage beginning in 2009. A low-income subsidy is available for individuals with limited income and resources. Guidelines for assistance are for those with incomes below $15,315 for a single person and $20,535 for a couple. Resource limits (checking, savings, CDs, investments) are $11,710 for a single and $23,410 for a couple. In most instances, individuals/families need to complete an application requesting assistance. Assistance for qualifying individuals is provided in reduced or no premium, and limited co-pay or percent of drug cost paid. Individuals who currently receive low-income subsidies may have received a letter from the Social Security Administration asking if there has been a change in their resources or income. If changes have been made, they may need to reply to the letter sent and subsequent requests. Failure to reply to subsequent requests may result in withdrawal of their low-income subsidy. Individuals or families looking to sort through options have a number of resources to explore. Part D Insurance policies may be sold/marketed through local agents. If individuals purchase a policy from a local agent, they want to know if that agent compared their policy options among all companies or a select number, since policy coverage and premiums vary significantly. Personalized Medicare Part D policy comparisons with all plans available are available at www.Medicare.gov, 1-800-633-4227 (Medicare); 1-800-536-8197 (SHIINE); local Extension Offices, some local insurance agents, and selected program sites. Seniors, their family members or authorized representatives may contact any of the agencies previously listed. SHIINE is short for Senior Health Information and Insurance Education Program. For more information, call the Brown County Extension Service at (605) 626-7120.


text: I'm sure this has been discussed but couldn't find it in a search. What do you Yankees, Canadians, Norwegians, etc do about your windows in the bitter cold? Yesterday was the first day of deep cold (10 deg F) with snow/moisture that I've encountered with the Model S. I pre-heated the car for about 20 minutes, door came open with a couple of tugs but the window would not seal when the driver door was closed. I scraped all around the door frame and window edge. I also dried off all the moisture left around the frame and window but there was still a significant gap in the leading edge of the window. I made the 10 minute drive to work (fortunately a 35-40 mph drive, no high speeds), the window rattled a few times and I was nervous that some bump or jar would shatter the window. When I got to work, I futzed with it a little more, closed the door, the window sealed OK. Is the secret just to pre-heat longer? Any other tips? I'm curious if the preheating actually melts the ice, then it refreezes in the gaps, causing the problem.

LAS VEGAS — For decades, it was the U.S. government's Cold War-era secret that hid in plain sight, the 1000-pound elephant in the Nevada desert that Washington continually denied — "What test site?" — and the rest of the country turned into a breeding ground for conspiracy theories.
Well, now it's official: Area 51 really does exist.
In newly declassified documents, the Central Intelligence Agency is acknowledging the existence of the mysterious war-test site in central Nevada that has captivated listeners on the far ends of the radio dial, spawning endless speculation about UFO landings and top-secret aliens. The site started as a testing ground for the infamous U-2 surveillance plane and went on to house other spy-versus-spy hardware.
On Thursday, George Washington University's National Security Archive released a copy of the CIA history of the U-2 spy plane program it had acquired through a public records request. The report officially places the site on a map of a remote detachment of Edwards Air Force Base on the Nevada Test and Training Range, about 90 miles north of Las Vegas.
For all its intrigue, the 400-page report carries a rather pedestrian name: "Central Intelligence Agency and Overhead Reconnaissance: The U-2 and Oxcart Programs, 1954-1974."

Stephen King Quotes About HeavenQuotes about: Heaven
The first movie I can remember seeing was The Creature From The Black Lagoon. And, I can remember hearing a radio play of Ray Bradbury's Mars Is Heaven. And when I cut my teeth on comic books, they were not the easy ones of today like Spiderman, Superman and The Hulk. they were Tales Of The Crypt, The Vaultkeeper, and that sort of thing.
I don't want to speak too disparagingly of my generation (actually I do, we had a chance to change the world and opted for the Home Shopping Network instead), but there was a view among the student writers I knew at that time that good writing came spontaneously, in an uprush of feeling that had to be caught at once; when you were building that all-important stairway to heaven, you couldn't just stand around with your hammer in your hand.

When I decided to take writing into blogging little did I know that I will be faced with massive challenges as I am going through now.
Every blogger will tell you that they are going through a lot; Dealing with stubborn clients, finding stories to write and getting writers.
Every young entrepreneur dreams of having an ideal business setting where all employees get paid appropriately, bills get settled and profits are reaped. But this might be difficult at the beginning.
Many bloggers often forget the fact that once your blogging business has established there are a number of expenses that needs to be catered for.
To start with, running an online business might seem simple and cheap but the truth is that the business is just like any other business because one has to comply with the government policies, paying taxes, developing the structure of the company, registering the name and the company and coming up with policies of operation.
As if the above not enough, you still need to purchase a domain, host the site and not forgetting the challenges that come with running a self-hosted website especially when one is not conversant with them.
Also Read: 5 Hard Lessons You need to Learn Before 30
Do not forget also that you need to rent an office, pay for bills even when their is no business done.
When one has managed to host and manage the site, it hits them that for the business to grow one cannot work alone.
However, finding employees is not a big deal but many will tell you that finding a regular cash flow to be able to finance them is the biggest problem.
One of the most frustrating instance is dealing with clients who do not pay. Many times cases have ended up in court rooms to settle debt issues. Bloggers will tell you that this is one of the worst situations one can go through.
Another issue that has failed the growing bloggers is lack of support from the banks. When it comes to payment many go through a hell because maybe they do not have official bank accounts for their businesses. At times some corporate companies might refuse to pay you as a result. Isn't it frustrating that after working you do not get paid?
The above are among the things that find most bloggers unprepared and at times one might think of quitting, but patience keeps them going.
Are you wondering what to do?
First of all, define your policies for service delivery and ensure that you do not change them overnight or between an ongoing business deals.
It is always good to get an accountant to ensure that your finances are managed properly.
Make an effort to develop a market product that will give you an edge in your business. This way you will not need to deal with many things at a go.
Do not forget to comply with the government policies because you do not want to be got on the wrong.
Find employees or writers who love what they are doing and not those who are desperately looking for jobs. This will save you the risk of losing an employee in hard times.
Look for a proper bank that can support you at all times.
It will be wise also to get an HR policy for hiring to ensure that all the resources are managed properly.
Plus to have a successful blog a writer needs to know SEO, SMM, to be a communicator and a promoter at the same time. Content marketing is not enough any more.
All the best as you employ the above measures in order to overcome challenges in your business as a blogger.

The Failures Of Public Education Must Be Reversed
I know a significant number of young adults who are products of the public education system. They struggle to find anything but low paying service jobs since they were so alienated by the public education system that they are functionally illiterate.
One of them, an otherwise intelligent but fundamentally uneducated young man in his middle twenties, has no concept whatsoever about the simplest Euclidean geometry; can't tell you who won World War II; doesn't know whether Europe is to the east or west of North America; never heard of Vietnam, Korea, the Philippines, New Zealand, Nepal, Peru, Bolivia, or Tibet; has no idea who John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Mikhail Gorbachev, Mahatma Gandhi, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein, Mother Teresa, John Paul II, or even George Washington or Napoleon Bonaparte were; writes like a six year old; and can't add single figures together without a calculator.
Whenever he is challenged on his appalling lack of knowledge, he states that he is "a product of public education."
The state has an interest in public education. Public education breeds good citizens (read dutiful, obedient citizens). When the government decries the state of public education today, it is not condemning the lack of academic standards as performance on standardized assessment tests has improved over the last thirty years. It is not complaining about the increase in violence, because despite several spectacular counter-examples, the level of school violence has actually decreased over the same three decades. What the government doesn't like is that citizenship education has taken a back seat to academic education, and that more and more families are opting out of the public school system and thereby ending governmental control of what their children are taught.
The statistics above almost sound like an endorsement of public education. In fact, as public education goes, the US does have a pretty good system. It does things many other societies don't even attempt. It teaches the developmentally, physically and emotionally disabled alongside its "normal" students. It allows children from all walks of life, depending solely on ability, to prepare for post-secondary education. Not bad, eh? But not enough. Being all things to all people guarantees that you end up being nothing to anyone.
There are problems with public education that only privatization can fix. Chief among these is choice of curriculum.
Are you a devout Christian? Jew? Muslim? Hindu? Buddhist? Pagan? Are you an atheist? Do you want your child to be educated within the system of your values, your faith? Don't ask the public schools to do it. They cannot and should not. The state would be forced into the unconscionable choice of establishing a state religion.
Does your child learn kinetically rather than through visual or auditory stimuli? The public schools may attempt it, but with the class loads the average teacher carries, your child is likely to get labeled as a troublemaker or lost in the shuffle.
Would you prefer a longer school year? Would you like more say in which subjects are emphasized or de-emphasized? Smaller class sizes? Non-standard subjects? Better paid teachers? Don't count on any of these from public schools.
There is a finite proportion of the gross domestic product available for investment in the education of our children. How should it best be spent? And who should choose the priorities?
The best approach is that the government release this funding from the public coffers and place it back into the pockets of the citizenry. Let each individual family decide how best to educate its children. Let individual communities, whether geographical, religious, or interest oriented, decide how to educate the children of its members. Let corporations educate the children of its employees. Let unions do the same for their members, and owners of small business band together also. Let parents who choose to homeschool their children do so with the full support of their communities and larger networks of resources.
What about the poor? That's always the question, isn't it. What about the poor. See above. Churches. Corporations. Homeschooling networks. This is about investment in people. That's one investment someone always seems willing to make. Privatization leads to greater efficiencies and lower costs than government schools, because they are not trying to be all things to all people. Investment in education means scholarships, grants, whole schools built from the generosity of a good heart, or the savvy of a smart investor.
The homeschooling movement today is already showing that ordinary people without special education or wealth can effectively educate their children. The materials necessary are already readily available, both in stores and on line, and often for little or no money. Home schooling networks pay for and maintain more expensive school equipment and arrange for knowledge swaps to fill in gaps in individual parents' educations.
Some of the most valuable lessons a child can learn are that learning is fun for its own sake, that she has value for her own sake, and that her family's belief system is an integral part of daily life rather than apart from and unimportant to daily life.
These lessons are more effectively taught in a private setting. A family can best influence the type of education its children get in a private setting. A child can have its individual needs more closely met in a private setting.
I am aware that some parents do not value education for their children. Those same parents exist today, and today are holding their children out of their school under cover of homeschooling (thereby being the rotten apple in the barrel). This is neglect, and neglect is actionable even in a libertarian society. It can be handled through the legal system.
The vast majority of children in the United States are going to public schools. Should you pull your child out and homeschool or enroll in a private school? Absolutely not. Not unless you can afford the time and money necessary. The money for public education is being stolen from you. You might as well benefit from it.
Keep educating your children about your values. Fill in the gaps left when the system fails. And speak up. Above all, let the government know that we who want our children raised to be good individual rather than good citizens are out there... and are voters.
Outstanding and informative Hub. Thank you. I enjoyed your thoughts. One huge problem is the Teacher's Union. All they know is how to demand more money. Another problem is the lack of teaching of Civics. Another is how they make the kids ashamed of America instead of proud—as they should be. The revisionism of US History is, however, the worst thing that ever happened to our children. The "self-esteem" movement a close second.
I hear you on this. There are kids graduating that can hardly read or do any math. This is a failure. These kids need to be held back. No more of this "but this will make him/her feel bad and hurt his/her esteem." Well, they are being unjustly dealt with by not obtaining the education they need to function in today's employment world. They need a wake-up call that they are failing and need to do better.
Keep on hubbing!

With breathless anticipation I awaited the showdown between BioLogos and the Discovery Institute at the upcoming conference in Texas this weekend. Here's the teaser from the Disco website [Showdown in Austin].
Next week the Vibrant Dance of Faith and Science becomes the God and evolution showdown in Austin, as the question of whether faith in God can co-exist with Darwinian evolution will be discussed and debated with people of faith on all different points of the spectrum. CSC Director Stephen Meyer will be presenting, as will CSC fellows Bill Dembski, Doug Axe, Richard Sternberg, Paul Nelson, Jack Collins, Walter Bradley, Bruce Gordon, and Ray Bohlin.Imagine, all those people of faith from the Discovery Institute arguing that God and evolution are incompatible. And all those theistic evolutionists from BioLogos arguing that science and religion are perfectly compatible. The mind boggles.
Unfortunately, the great debate has been cancelled at the last minute. I guess Francis Collins was too busy to attend. Maybe they should have invited me to take on the Intelligent Design Creationists and the other creationists who call themselves Theistic Evolutionists?1
1. They would need reinforcements in order to make it a fair fight.

Those renting apartments in Harbor City can take advantage of a wide array of employment opportunities and enjoy a bounty of recreational excursions in this attractive Long Beach community.
Located west of Long Beach toward the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Harbor City is actually considered a community within Los Angeles, though apartment renters here consider the neighborhood's charm and character enough to distinguish it from the larger city. Some of Harbor City's most valuable amenities are its tree-lined streets and attractive byways, which make a jog around the neighborhood or an evening walk all the more pleasurable for apartment renters here.
Harbor City's parks are also held in high esteem, the most prominent of which may be the Ken Malloy Harbor Regional Park. The wetlands here are one of the last remaining vestiges of an extensive wetlands system that encompassed much of the local area, according to city officials, and apartment residents in Harbor City enjoy the recreational pursuits of the park alongside the wildlife that calls it home. Lake Machado offers bountiful game for sportfishing, and the park's grounds offer plenty of space for camping, picnicking and hiking. There's also a golf course, sports fields and children's play area.
Apartment renters in Harbor City also work at some of the neighborhood's major employers, which include medical and technological firms, while others attend Los Angeles Harbor College nearby.
Looking for apartments at Harbor City? Look no further than ApartmentGuide.com to find Harbor City apartments for rent and learn more about this neighborhood.

Posts Tagged 'erosion'
Climate change is perhaps the single biggest issue facing the health of our communities. Severe weather conditions threaten the crops on which we depend for food and a thriving economy as well as the safety of our neighborhoods and health of our landscape. In San Luis Obispo, we have historically seen weather patterns consistent with a Mediterranean climate where we experience long, hot and dry summers with rainy, wet winters. Many of the native plants are drought-tolerant, and the cold waters and upwelling of nutrients off of our coasts provide us with a stunning amount of marine biodiversity. With greenhouse gasses on the rise, what can we expect for the seasons to come?
The Coast: According to a report released by the California Academy of Sciences in June of this year, Central California's waters are already showing the effects of a warming planet. Surface waters have increased in temperature, sea levels are higher, winds are stronger, upwellings are more intense, there is increased ocean acidification, and shoreline erosion has accelerated. As a result, ecosystems have been thrown out of balance and organisms are struggling to adapt.
The study states that the most severe ecological disruption will come from the changes associated with upwellings, ocean temperature, sea level rise, and acidification. Upwelling appears to be increasing because of more rapid heating of land in contrast to the ocean which creates pressure gradients and strong winds, driving the process. Researchers worry that stronger currents may carry the larvae of fish and other animals out to sea, disconnecting whole populations and threatening the food web. Warm surface temperatures have heated bays and shallow waters, making for steep temperature gradients from east to west. Warmer surface waters also inhibit the vertical mixing of water and nutrients which can result in plankton blooms and areas of low dissolved oxygen, killing certain species that need oxygen rich habitats to survive and aiding in the takeover of invasive organisms.
Sea level rise has accounted for a large amount of coastline erosion as well as the change in tidepool ecosystems. Rising waters affect the ability of marine mammals to reproduce and rest, changing the living patterns for these top predators. As CO2 continues to be absorbed by the sea, waters have become more acidic, creating conditions where shelled animals cannot form their exoskeletons or even dissolve.
In regards to broader weather patterns, the El Nino oscillation cycles are expected to continue with higher temperatures than in the past. La Nina years will be wetter and warmer than average with heavy downpours becoming more frequent. Days of high fire risk are going to become more common with an extended fire season brought on by hotter temperatures and increased evaporation. Flooding and erosion from sea level rise and lack of vegetative cover will deposit more soil and sediment into freshwater systems, eventually affecting marine ecosystems as they flow out to sea. Saltwater is also expected to flow into freshwater systems as the oceans rise.

That story is the equivalent to our grandparent's "I walked to school 3 miles, up hill in the snow, with no shoes!" story. My kids roll their eyes when I give them the lecture on how poor some families are... how poor I was growing up... and how lucky they are to have this cozy warm house with plenty of food in their bellies. When I think back on it, it also gives me an appreciation for my parents. They did what they had to do, and kept us kids warm and stress free that winter.
It's days like these I welcome the chance to bake all day long. Running the oven helps keep the house toasty and warm. Not to mention the smell of fresh baked breads and cookies might be the most comforting cozy smell of all time. So while it may be so cold outside that your face starts to hurt, and your nose hair and eyelashes freeze together. Inside my home we'll have plenty to eat, and a fresh pot of coffee going to warm our bones.

- 2 packages (4½ tsp, ½oz, 14g) RED STAR Platinum Superior Baking Yeast
- 3½ cups bread flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
