This is rich, and it shows what happens when 2,000+ page monstrosities are rammed through congress without anyone reading the bill. It seems that due to a drafting error, Congress may have accidentally excluded themselves from the Federal Employees Health Program. The idea was that members of Congress would purchase plans through the new insurance exchange, but that part of the plan doesn't go into effect until 2014. The part of the bill that excludes members of Congress from the Federal Employees plan, however, does not have an effective date, and therefore went into effect immediately when the bill became law.
This is why large, complicated bills should not be passed. They typically have unintended consequences, and never function the way that they were intended. Even the state-run New York Times admitted as much when they wrote: "If they did not know exactly what they were doing to themselves, did lawmakers who wrote and passed the bill fully grasp the details of how it would influence the lives of other Americans?" The Democrats are now scrambling to figure out how to correct this error, but I for one am glad that they were caught off-guard. Serves them right.

Alabama Governor visits Phenix City to discuss jobs
July 25, 2013
He visited Russell County, which reported an 8.5% unemployment rate in June, and gave his plan to help with job growth.
Bentley said two factors are important for attracting jobs to our area, the first being getting suppliers to come to the area.
"Suppliers coming into this area are very important and usually you'll get Tier 1 or Tier 2 suppliers and that's what we try to recruit and you want your local economic developers and your local elected officials to spearhead that, but we on the state-level can help that with incentives and help put together packages that will try to get companies to come to this area," says Bentley.
Consulting firm identifies I-65 site at Huntsville-Browns Ferry Road as 'ready-to-recruit' data centers
on July 26, 2013
ATHENS, Alabama - A 141-acre industrial site at the Huntsville-Browns Ferry Road interchange on Interstate 65 has been designated as "ready to recruit" data centers and technology companies by a consulting firm hired by TVA.
The Braly site in Athens was named a primary location for data centers by Chicago-based Deloitte Consulting, a firm hired by the Tennessee Valley Authority to identify and evaluate potential data center sites in the seven Southeastern states where TVA provides power. The designation will help the Limestone County Economic Development Association market the site.
"The data center market is experiencing tremendous growth, and we are glad to work with valley communities like Athens/Limestone County so that they can compete and attract data centers and other targeted companies," said John Bradley, TVA's senior vice president of economic development.
MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Legislators from across the South will begin gathering in Mobile on Saturday for the annual meeting of the Southern Legislative Conference.
Alabama's speaker of the House, Mike Hubbard, is chairman of the organization. Hubbard said the meeting will showcase some of Alabama's most effective programs, including workforce development and the Impact Alabama student service initiative. The speakers include former baseball and football star Bo Jackson.
Hubbard expects more than 1,000 people to attend the conference at the Arthur Outlaw Convention Center. The event wraps up Tuesday.
ONEONTA, AL -Just straight northeast of Jefferson County, Blount County is known as a top producer of freshly vine-ripe tomatoes in Alabama, breathtaking mountain-top views and a network of closely-knit families. The picturesque county, which spans a little more than 650 square miles ranging in various elevations, is also considered the Covered Bridge Capitol of Alabama.
Less than 45 minutes from Birmingham, Blount County is home to more than 57,800 residents often described as hard-working, faith-focused and family-oriented.
The country seat is Oneonta, a small city, geographically nestled in the southwest region of the county.
On the job front, the Alabama Department of Labor April 2013 data lists the county's unemployment rate at 5.0%; which is lower than that state's non-seasonally adjusted rate of 6.0%. However like many other Alabama counties considered as rural, Blount County has endured job losses. More than 80% of those who live in the county commute out of Blount for employment. As for industries in the area, the recession has affected the number of good available jobs as well. At the end of July 2013, American Apparel which once employed hundreds in Oneonta will officially close.
Amid the lack of industrial- type jobs, elected officials along with leaders at the Blount-Oneonta Chamber of Commerce are launching proactive steps to directly address attracting more companies to the county as well as people.

God Knows Their Names
We were privileged to bring the "Your Life Matters" event to Kennesaw Mountain High School this morning and all we can say is WOW. It never stops amazing us how we leave these events feeling like we received far more then we gave, and this morning was no exception. Before the event started their entire leadership team prayed over us. We were able to see faces connecting to a message of hope and purpose and had the chance to talk with several students afterwards – hearing some amazing things they are dreaming about and thinking through.
For those of you who were in the room this morning, thank you for letting us be a part of what you are doing there. The dreams, ideas, passions and burdens you were thinking through this morning – pursue them with everything in you. We need you.
After the event we got to meet a man known by the students there as "Pops." He was an elderly man, walking with a cane and on a first name basis with the students. When I asked him why he was there, he smiled and reluctantly began telling me how he wakes up at 3 AM every day, pulls out a list of every student's name at Kennesaw Mountain and prays for them by name.
He told us, "most of these kids don't have anyone praying for them, so I do. I know God knows their names but I think he really likes to hear them."
With everything in me that craves attention, to be noticed, to be known, here is a guy on his knees every morning believing and begging God to move in the lives of students. We were speechless.
God is alive and active, His story of redemption is growing – and mornings like this we get a front row seat. Thank you for praying for us, I truly believe you will not understand this side of heaven the impact YOU are making. And if you are struggling with your role in the story, what if you just started to join Pops? Find a group and pray for them by name everyday, It doesn't have to be thousands of students, it could be 5 people. We are learning that when we pray on for others and things outside of "our world", it quickly helps the story to not be just about us.
Motor City Paradise?
Andrew & Matt are working the campaign trail, ok not really, but they are promoting Anthem in Michigan. Enjoy…
He's all I've got left!
We are waking up every single day to a crazier and crazier world. I don't know where you are sitting today or what your week is looking like, but we are walking in desperate for our God! In the midst of a failing financial market, no gas to be found, and a presidential election, just name to name a few, there's more than enough to keep us worrying.
In the Broken Voices world…we are trying to promote the film, redesign our website, package the film into a finished DVD, plan events through 2009, and raise support for the organization and our families.
We worked over 100 hours the previous week to meet a deadline and stay on schedule.
How about you? What's been going on in your life? What has you laying awake at night? Money? Health? Grades? Relationships? Or simply where you are going to find gas tomorrow?
We are all busy. We all have stress. There's more than enough to worry about. Jesus nailed it when he said, "Don't worry about tomorrow…Each day has enough trouble of it's own." Jesus encouragement to the people in Matthew chapter 6 was to trust God with TODAY. Don't worry about tomorrow – just concentrate on trusting today – and God will provide. That is a promise! It's a thought that is changing our lives. It's also not isolated to Jesus words in Matthew. The idea of waking up and trusting God for his provision today is all over the scriptures.
As we were wrapping up our insane week last week, a faithful friend emailed us these verses from Lamentations 3:22-24. She typed out the verses from three different versions of the Bible. We've been soaking on these words all weekend.
22 Beacause of the LORD's great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning:
great is your faithfulness.
24 I say to myself, "The LORD is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him." (NIV)
23 They are new every morning; great and abundant is Your stability and faithfulness. (AMP)
22-24 God's loyal love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great is your faithfulness! I'm sticking with God (I say it over and over). He's all I've got left. (THE MESSAGE)
We are hoping and praying that these words can come alive for you. Please keep praying that God will grow our faith and trust in him. Pray for those who woke up in a total mess today and need a touch from their heavenly father. We'd also like to be more specifically praying for you. Let us know how we can do that by leaving a comment here or sending an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
In it with you,
Matt & The BV Team
Big Weekend
Hey guys it's Friday which means we should have a new post for you, but it's not a normal Friday around here. We have a huge deadline coming up and have been working almost around the clock, and will continue to work through most of this weekend. More to come on that, but please pray for us as we work. Ask God to pour out his strength, focus, and vision to cut the film in the most powerful way possible.
Below is a screen shot from the editing of Anthem. More coming soon…

In a Sunday morning interview, former Maryland governor, Martin O'Malley, uttered what appeared to be Greek wisdom in an appearance on This Week.
After concluding the customary byplay when introducing his guest, interlocutor George Stephanopoulos quizzed O'Malley on the subject of qualifications for his expected presidential bid. O'Malley proceeded to sermonize on the merits of his political resume, giving standard, cautious, almost robotic answers to avoid the pitfalls of gaffes on national television. Although everything in this interview was poll-tested and designed to be popular, he even stumbled at points, O'Malley did not disingenuously advocate a new cause or offer a new government program nor did he criticize the mechanics of government, Mr. Obama or Hillary Clinton.
Mr. O'Malley's answers, among a fountain of evasive, unoriginal and programmed replies, contained a crisp, prescient warning: He unveiled the eerie resemblance of the presidency to a plutocracy and declared an obligation to halt it.
When Stephanopoulos playfully reminded O'Malley of his support of Hillary Clinton in 2008, O'Malley carefully answered for his 2008 support and retreated from endorsing Clinton for 2016. Stephanopoulos responded: "You said that we need new perspectives, new leadership. You are ready to challenge her, aren't you?" O'Malley replied: "I think our country always benefits from new leadership and new perspectives. Let's be honest here: The presidency of the United States is not some crown to be passed between two families."
Mr. O'Malley is filled with education, a rare commodity.
O'Malley's remark, Greek wisdom rather, perfectly illustrates the unrivaled access a select few enjoy due to the combination of name recognition, selfishly occupying the national stage, and, most important, wide access to establishment money.
The presidency has an image problem and it is not necessarily the occupant. Of late, the presidency has tended to represent access to the levers of power not authority; it represents a lack of moral clarity; it symbolizes a disconnect from a majority of Americans; it portrays an often callus lack of accountability; it typifies both personal ambitions and priorities over those of the electorate; and, sadly, it represents the will of the powerful and prestigious over the powerless and downtrodden.
O'Malley neither uttered these words out of guile nor did he state them as a political expediency to advance a potential bid for the White House. O'Malley just told the truth.

15 Surefire Ways to Make Your Stepkids Love You
Life as a stepparent can be rough, but it's also filled with so many unexpected moments of joy. Most of those moments involve your stepkids connecting with you in ways that are simple, yet still surprising since you're cast in the role of "outsider." Just to help that relationship (that can be fraught) along the right path, try these 15 smart stepparent moves.
1. Put their pictures in your home, at your office, and on your computer. Include, if you have them, pictures of them before you knew them, including baby pictures and first birthday parties. They'll notice.
RELATED: Why You're Wrong About Stepmoms
2. Love them. Love them with your entire being. Love them like they are your very own children. This isn't about you, this isn't about your relationship with their mom or their dad, this is about you and your stepkids. Love them without inhibition.
3. Watch Disney movies with them and when the evil stepmothers appear on the screen say things like, "See! I don't even have a dungeon to keep you in! We don't even have stone floors for you to scrub on your hands and knees!" Let them know you "get it."
4. When you talk to your husband about them, don't say "your kids." If you're not comfortable saying "my kids" or "our kids," say "the kids." Pronouns make a world of difference in your attitude.
5. When they ask you to play, do it. When they ask you to read them a story, read one. When they ask you to sit in the bathroom while they play with naked Barbies and submarines in the tub—close the lid on the toilet, put your phone away and have a seat. Then help them make a bubble beard.
6. Talk to them about family, making sure they know that they are part of your family. If you're going to Disney World, talk about our family vacation. Mention it casually in conversation and they'll grow up always knowing that you all are a family, instinctively.
7. When you're at the grocery store if someone says, "Your kids are so cute!" just say thank you and smile. They are pretty darn cute, no need to qualify your relationship.
If they don't want you, don't take it personally.
8. Go to their baseball games, dance recitals and high school graduations. Teach them how to parallel park and help them study for Spanish finals. Hola! Donde está el baño? Just be there for them, no matter what.
9. Be nice to their mom. I know. You read that all the time and you hate hearing it. You wish someone would tell HER to be nice to YOU. But this isn't about her, it's about you and your stepkids. You don't have to invite her in for coffee and pastry, but say hello to her and ask her how she's doing. Tell her that the kids had a great time at the zoo on Saturday. Be nice. Let your stepkids see you two being friendly to each other. Trust me, they'll notice.
10. Love them. I don't care what anyone says or how hard it is or how stressful it is. Love them. They didn't ask for you to be in their life, and they didn't get to make this choice. No matter how angry they might be or what they might hear from their mom or dad or grandparents or uncles or friends at school, you just love them. Unconditionally. Like they're yours.
11. Take an interest in their lives. Ask them what they want for breakfast. Learn what their favorite cookies are. If they talk about playing with bubbles, make note of it and buy them some for their birthday. Learn who they are, inside and out.
12. Listen to them. If they want to talk to you about a bad day at school, pull up a chair and listen. If your stepdaughter wakes up in the morning and says, "I had a crazy dream!" let her tell it to you, in detail. If they want to talk to you about their mom or their dad or their siblings, listen. Care about what they're saying.
13. When they're crying, comfort them. When they're sick, rub their backs and pour them more orange juice. If they fall off their bike, offer your arms. If they're going through their first heartbreak, remember how much that sucked and offer your company with a box of tissues.
RELATED: How Much Input Can a Stepmom Have?
14. If they don't want you, don't take it personally. Let it go. If they do want you, hold them tight. Tell them everything will be okay. Let them sit with you as long as they need. Don't end your comforting until they say they're okay.
15. Love them. Say I love you. Pray for them. Think about them. Make decisions with them in the very front of your mind. Love them like you've never loved another human being before. Don't think about it. Don't analyze it. Just love them.
BONUS TIP: Don't read any more of these lists. You don't need to hear anything negative or anything written by "experts." Just love them. Everything will be okay.

Gloucester City went down to big spending league leaders Solihull Moors as they just weren't clinical enough in front of goal, despite a good performance.\r\n\r\nThe Tigers rattled Solihull early and were putting good pressure on the towering back line of the league leaders. Luke Hopper, starting for the first time following a long injury lay-off, saw his shot deflected behind.\r\n\r\nTom Webb went close for the Tigers as he latched onto the ball on the edge of the box before his volley fizzed wide of the mark.\r\n\r\nThen followed a lovely move from City. Webb knocked the ball inside to Notts County loanee Colby Bishop who side footed straight at Danny Lewis from 20 yards.\r\n\r\nSomewhat against the run of play, City found themselves behind as Akwasi Asante gave Moors the lead.\r\n\r\nThe Tigers were undone by a good corner routine as Liam Daly knocked the ball back across goal for Asante to power a free header into the back of the net.\r\n\r\nAsante was then involved again but his finish left a lot to be desired as he looked to go all by himself when Darryl Knights was better positioned.\r\n\r\nCity got caught sleeping from a throw in to allow Ryan Beswick in on goal but he pulled his shot hopelessly wide.\r\n\r\nThe Tigers were left wishing Whaddon Road had goal line technology as the ball was adjudged not to have crossed the line twice.\r\n\r\nFirst Ed Williams shot was superbly stopped by Danny Lewis then hacked off the line, before Sam Avery rattled the crossbar with a header that bounced on the line.\r\n\r\nPressure from City continued into the second half with Hanks shooting against Daly before Bishop rose highest to flick towards goal but Lewis got down very well to stop.\r\n\r\nCity were then denied two penalty shouts by the referee first following claims for handball and then for what looked like a blatant pull back on Hanks.\r\n\r\nKnights went really close with a half volley on the edge of the box that looked to be going in, but it swerved away at the last moment.\r\n\r\nThen came the killer blow as City were caught on the counter attack as they looked to get the equaliser but Asante broke away before squaring to Knights for a tap in.\r\n\r\nThe best chance of the game for City came towards the dying moments as Omari Sterling-James knocked a header down to Bobbie Dale who fired straight at Lewis when he should have scored.\r\n\r\nCity won't be too disheartened with the result though as they performed well against a big, physical side with some quality players.\r\n\r\nThey remain in 13th place in the National League North table, as they travel to Alfreton Town next weekend hoping to get back to winning ways.\r\n\r\nGloucester City: Singh, Green, Jones, Cundy, Avery, Dinsley, Webb (capt), Hanks (Sterling-James 73'), Hopper (Dale 65' (Hall 83')), Bishop, Williams\r\n\r\nSubs: Hamilton, Knowles\r\n\r\nSolihull Moors: Lewis, Nottingham, Franklin, Daly, Streete (capt), Dean, Asanti (Moore 90+1'), Byrne, Brown, Beswick (Armson 85'), Knights (Walker 75')\r\n\r\nSubs: Bignot, Gough, Moore\r\n\r\nReferee: Ian Rathbone\r\n\r\nAttendance: 411\r\n\r\nStar man: Ed Williams

Marvel's First Official Look At 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Agent Isabelle Hartley (Lucy Lawless) & 'Daredevil's Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll)
As we get closer to the September 24th premiere date for Marvels Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and shooting continues for the Marvel Netflix Daredevil series we're going to start getting more and more plot details, insider quotes, and production stills. This time around there's some new production stills making the Internet rounds featuring new female characters in Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel/Netflix's Daredevil. Who are they and how do they fit into those two series?
First up is Lucy Lawless, she's joining the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. season two cast as Agent Isabelle Hartley.
Don't try finding her in any of your comics, Hartley is said to be an original character created for the series. Here's something interesting though, take a look at Agent Victoria Hand's background and you find:
Hand was initially introduced as a S.H.I.E.L.D. accountant, dating a fellow agent named Isabelle – a partner with different beliefs about the war on terror. Three years before the Secret Invasion storyline, Victoria sent a letter to S.H.I.E.L.D. director Nick Fury about his war on terrorism and her concerns that he was doing a poor job. Isabelle implored Victoria not to send the letter. The result was Hand's transferral to a S.H.I.E.L.D. Base in Portland, Oregon. Hand's relationship broke down due to Isabelle's anger over her advice being ignored.
Could Lawless be that Isabella? It would certainly make sense that she is jumping into the mix, perhaps for a little payback from Agent Ward (Brett Dawson) for shooting Agent Hand? Sources say that Lawless' character is involved in a story arc, meaning she'll appear in more than just one episode and this would be an interesting sub plot. Since the character only appeared in a short comic book panel with no real background details besides being in a relationship with Hand, one can understand why the show feels Hartley is an original character. Bringing her in does allow for some use for Agent Wards character besides him just sitting in a cell somewhere.
Want to hear a really twisted thought? What if Hartley is really a Hydra agent, and while everyone thinks she wants to hurt Ward, really she's been tasked to free him?
Next up is Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll) from Marvel and Netflix's new Daredevil series that is currently shooting in New York. Here she's seen with Foggy Nelson (Elden Henson), Matt Murdock's law partner and best friend.
If the series stays true to the comics, Foggy hires Page as a receptionist for their law firm. Murdock and Page start dating while Foggy hides his own feelings towards Page. That sets up a nice Love Triangle for the characters to play off of. Page eventually leaves after Murdock reveals his Daredevil alter ego. How quickly Page might meet her comic book end is unclear, but it was one of the best Daredevil story lines so it should pop up in season two or three. I'd have to call it rushed if they tried to do it all in one season.
I'm excited to see both series and the possibilities that characters from both shows might make crossover appearances once Daredevil is established. I know there are a ton of hurdles to leap for that to happen, but perhaps a swap or one for one type cameo could be arranged. The lawyers could work that out.

Notion Vtec: Hopes for quick recovery Underperform
Briefing Note
¨ Notion guided that 1Q12 revenue will decline 40-45% qoq and may fall into the red. This is mainly due to: 1) declining sales as the floods have affected two of its major customers and orders have stopped since Oct; and 2) provisioning of around RM5m for finished goods that were damaged and insurance shortfall for equipment in its Thailand plant.
TM: Pleasant uplift surprise in margins Trading Buy

I have been using this camera for a few years now and it's a great manual compact point and shoot. It is very versatile with some limitations of course. The ISO only goes up to 800, and it doesn't have image stabilization making the use of a tripod a must. The screen can move around which is nice because you can capture people in their true elements while traveling. There 5 different levels of manual settings letting you control how much control you have, plus there is the preset settings if ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Canon PowerShot A630
After 6 months and over 3000 pictures I've now sold my A630 for the exact same price that I bought it (€150 used) proving that this is a classic which doesn't lose its value easily. It's so consistently good across-the-board that it's hard to say what the best thing about it is, but in short: - excellent sharpness straight-out-of-cam, especially for macro - extensive manual controls allow almost complete freedom - flexi-bendy screen (brilliant for awkward macro shots) - widely-available ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Fantastic quality for the price! Fantastic macro at 1 cm. Problems: noneView review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Excellent image quality up to ISO 200 with sharp and natural results! Lots of features, great 35-140mm F2.8-F4.1 fast lens. 8 MP in an 1/1.8" sensor are more than enough. I also have a Fuji F30, wich provides better image quality starting at ISO 200 due to less image noise (but the A630 is better IMO at outdoors/daylight shots). The A630 is an exciting camera and a great value, it´s much better than i expected... Problems: Live histogram, IS and Raw would be a plus. Noisy at ISO 400 and ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
After my PS510 I tried the Fuji S6500FD, which gave pretty bad pictures (very bad lenses, Fujinon lenses!!). Returned it in a week. Now knowing that an old Canon PS gave perfect pictures in comparison to a relatively recent and huge-lens Fuji I decided to go for a new PowerShot. I selected for manual options, CCD size and macro abilities. The PS A630 was comparable with the Fuji S6500FD, but without the useless "face-detection" and less optical zoom. But it indeed shoots great pictures. Canon ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Yet another camera for watersports, this will probably last me for a while. My Canon A540 and Bonica Snapper Suit was sort of okay, but I still wanted something better for my kayak photos. I considered the Fujifilm F31fd with its reputation for low noise, however I was concerned about its reputation for high contrast. I photograph a lot of people whose faces are shaded by hats in the bright sun. I bought the Canon A630 plus the WP-DC8 underwater housing. The A630 seems to be the last of the ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

First I am a keen amateur photographer who has been using DSLR for two years and is looking for a P&S to leave in my bag to take everywhere. Low-light performance doesn't worry me since I will use my DSLR for it if needed. Pros - The image quality is excellent up to ISO200, and quite OK at ISO400 but I probably won't be using anything higher than that. - swivel LCD is very handy and one of the reason I chose it over Panasonic models in this price range - very easy to use. I found myself ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
For a while I was very against point-and-shoot cameras; all I owned were SLRs, TLRs, and Rangefinders. I liked having complete control over how my pictures came out and I didn't trust a point-and-shoot to do the same job. A few months ago I decided to invest in a point-and-shoot because I didn't want to have to worry about exposure, focus, and the like at family gatherings and when I was hanging out with my friends. I was very skeptical at first, but after using the Canon PowerShot A630 ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Finally upgraded my PowerShot A80 to this baby for $213 after tax out the door and they almost look and feel the same. The A630 is lighter, not as much metal, so doesn't feel as strong; LCD is much larger on A630 and best of all, everything is familiar in terms of feel and navigation. My wife dropped the A630 on concrete before I even got a chance to take four pictures. It dented a lot and one edge opened a bit but it seems to work fine. I think being lighter actually helped in this case. Vid ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

Jul. 14, 2013 - It will take another month to remove the hundreds of storm-damaged trees at the St. Cloud VA Health Care System, according to officials.
More than 200 trees at the St. Cloud VA were "significantly damaged" by the storms that ripped through Central Minnesota last month.
"Some of these trees have to be at least a hundred years," said Jan Lobel, manager of maintenance and operations at the St. Cloud VA.
State and federal emergency management officials were in Stearns and Benton counties earlier this month to determine eligibility for assistance to pay for damage caused by the storms.
"We do not get any FEMA funds (for the cleanup costs)," said Barry Venable, St. Cloud VA public affairs officer. "All money comes from the VA budget in some form or another."
R Preusser Construction Inc. of St. Stephen was contracted for $85,000 by the St. Cloud VA to remove the damaged trees and debris, including the stumps. read more>>>

Well, I'm back from over the Pond where National Health Care is a huge issue. In the news are photos of people who are queued up to see a dentist; 144,000 complaints in 2007 about pensioner care; and the 11.5 percent payroll tax to pay for the care.So, depending on the scheme chosen by Hillary or Senator Obama, we can look forward to paying a flat percentage of over 11.5 percent to pay for government health care.Is this something the economy can afford right now? Just think, 11 percent of your salary going away when national health care is signed into law. That's the percentage in Britain and they have really bad care. Here's an example of how govt. interference works in the UK. A woman needed a kidney. Her husband dies and wished for his wife to have one of his kidneys. The govt. over-ruled the wishes of the husband and gave his kidneys to other people who were on the waiting list for an organ before his wife. A former cabinet minister opened his mouth during an interview and his teeth were discolored and rotting. Is this what national health care will get you?On $20,000 dollars a year salary, you will lose $2,300 in increased taxes to pay for national healthcare. Now, if Senator Obama decides to take more from the few rich, who are more than willing to pay for other people's lifestyle, the percentage could go up to twenty percent. Imagine working for 2.4 months to pay just for health care. That's on top of the five months the 35% tax bracket must work before they get to keep some of their pay.
If Hillary or Senator Obama are elected, those few rich will be working 7.5 months before they get to keep any of their own salary. That is socialistic government at it's best.

Ethan Embry's hooked on something else these days ... GETTING YOKED!
The "Can't Hardly Wait" star was in Larchmont Village Tuesday and the convo started on a serious note -- drug addiction. Ethan was hooked on heroin and painkillers, but says he's 6 years sober now.
He railed against those who want to criminalize drug addiction -- going off on a Twitter rant to get his point across ... but in the midst of that convo, we learned he's picked up quite the fitting habit.

A paulwonia tree is also called a princess tree and the empress tree. In its native habitat of China, the paulwonia tree has been cultivated for several thousand years mainly for its wood which is used for timber, firewood and in making furniture. In the United States, paulownia is one of the more commonly planted fast-growing ornamental trees particularly when "instant shade" is desired. It produces striking trumpet-shaped, lavender to white, highly fragrant flowers that appear in clusters in early spring. You can propagate paulownia from seed at any time of the year but make sure you use seeds less than 4 years old.
Preparing Paulownia Seeds
Collect ripened seeds from a paulownia tree. Do this in September when the seed pods are light brown, and before they crack and open.
Place the seed pods into a canvas or burlap-type sack to air dry for about seven to 14 days.
Separate the paulownia seeds from the seed pods. One way to do this is to leave the seed pods in their burlap or canvas sack and then crush the contents, as suggested Donald H. Graves and Jeffrey W. Stringer with the University of Kentucky. You can gently crush the contents using a rubber mallet or hammer.
Place approximately 2 cups of sand and 2 cups of peat moss into separate containers, such as bowls or buckets. Dampen down the sand and peat moss until each is moist feeling when touched.
Place a 1 1/2-inch layer of sand in the bottom of a quart-sized lidded plastic container. Set the paulownia seeds on top of the moistened sand. Spread out about 1 to 2 inches of the moistened peat moss on top of the paulownia seeds. Set the lid on the container.
Place the container into your refrigerator that is set to remain at a temperature of between 38 and 40 degrees Fahreneheit. Keep the container in the cold storage for a minimum of two months. The cold storage will improve the germination rates of paulownia seeds. You can plant the seeds at any time after the allotted time has passed but do not leave the container in the cold storage for longer than four years since this will greatly reduce the viability of the seeds.
Planting Paulownia Seeds
Pour a seed starting mix into a seed starting flat until it is full.
Moisten the seed bed thoroughly. Dip the seed starting flat into a basin or tray that is holding about 1 to 2 inches of water, until the mix is well moistened.
Pick up a pinch of paulownia seeds between your thumb and index finger. Scatter the seeds randomly across the surface of the seed starting mix. Paulownia seeds require light to germinate, so do not cover the seeds.
Place a sheet of glass or a layer of clear plastic wrap over the tray. Put the tray under a florescent light fixture at a distance of about 10 to 14 inches away. Keep the tray under the light for 24 hours a day. Mist the tray with water every day. The ideal temperature should be no warmer than 85 F and no cooler than 70 F. Germination of paulownia seeds typically begins in about two to three weeks.
Remove the sheet of glass or plastic wrap once you see the seeds sprouting. Maintain moisture, but avoid over-watering. You can transplant the paulownia seedlings into 4-inch, 6-inch or 1-gallon pots once they each have a pair or two of leaves.

Moving north, we find ourselves on the tranquil waters of Lake Kariba, between Zimbabwe and Zambia. Cue the bird... I think if I could live anywhere in southern Africa if would quite possibly be Kariba, where man and wildlife live, literally, side by side (that is if the man hasn't eaten all the wildlife by now). I'm planning on going back to Kariba on my next trip.
The pesky pied Kingfisher - hardest bird in the world to shoot (with a camera, that is. Pretty easy with a .22, though, I reckon, as they hover for a quite a long time before diving for their prey.) I bagged this beauty in Kruger, near the Sweni Bird Hide.
Not roaring... yawning. Lions do two fifths of bugger all, all day long, so one opening its mouth is a big treat. You can just about hear the "oohs" and the "ahhhs" from the other onlookers around me as I shot His Majesty, mid-yawn. Check those teeth.
All this is making me want to get on that plane, get back to Africa and crank-up old Tonka the Land Rover.
What will I look at for now, though, as I shivver my way through the Sydney winter?
I know, how about...
Forget the the African bush (for now), for the claws, teeth, (fake) fur, and big hair will be flying next Tuesday night as our own Big Cat(ty) Diary, Australia's Next Top Model, reaches its nail-breaking finale.
It's a showdown between the charming, lovely, peronable Tahnee (pictured above... Tahnee's aim in life is to be a Victoria's Secret model - true) and the whingey, whiny, tantrum-chcking boganista, Cassi.
Will good triumph over evil in the circle of life?

Appointment of the board came
on a motion made by President

Mrs. Eunice Benckenstein.
Trustees approved the contribu-

same amount contributed to the
program for the past five years.

Reach those tricky areas with this superb pole hedge trimmer.
Husqvarna's 536LiHE3 allows you to reach up to 3.5 metres, while weighing just 4.2 kg and with a raft of clever features to make it a pleasure to work with. Supplied as a shell only, with battery and charger sold separately.
Exceptional cutting from this machine
This model has a knife length of 55 cm or 21 inches, with a teeth opening of 32 mm / 1.25 inches. It has a high cutting speed of 4,000 cuts per minute, showing that despite being a battery powered machine it still manages to compare favourably with petrol equivalents. The reach of 3.5 metres allows you to cut otherwise inaccessible areas, while the cutter angle can be adjusted remotely for easier, more efficient operation.
All the benefits of cordless power
As a cordless machine, the 536LiHE3 instantly benefits from no emissions and quiet operation. It is quiet and clean enough for use in residential areas, while boasting professional results. Its brushless motor is reliable, easy to start and powerful, while the machine's overall weight is just 4.2 kg without the battery (5.5 kg with). It also has Husqvarna's innovative savE™ mode, allowing you to prioritise runtime by optimising performance.
Sold as a shell only
This machine is compatible with Husqvarna's full range of BLi lithium-ion batteries and chargers, allowing you to potentially own a single battery and use it in on multiple machines (whether handheld or even lawn mowers). This makes these tools fantastic value. This particular model is sold here as a shell only, so you will need to purchase a battery and charger separately, or use an existing one.
Recommended for the 536LiHE3 is the BLi200 battery and QC330 charger, which will provide up to 2 hours and 5 minutes of light cutting (1 hour of tough work) on a single charge.
Comes with a 2 year conditional warranty.

This Immortal by Roger Zelazny
Originally titled "…And Call me Conrad", Roger Zelazny's "This Immortal" tied with Frank Herbert's "Dune" for the 1966 Hugo Award for Best Novel.
This Immortal is set in a ravaged, post-apocalyptic Earth where most humans have left Earth to live and work with the Vegans, an alien race that is more advanced and wealthy than the humans.
The Vegans tour the Earth, mainly to gawk at how badly a species can screw up their planet, and buy up prime real estate. Conrad Nomikos, a man who has a lot of names and identities and whose age is uncertain, is tasked with protecting a high caste Vegan on an Earth tour.
Mutated creatures abound in this post-nuclear war setting and many of them are straight out of Greek myth. Conrad himself is hinted to be much more than he seems
Although not as good as Zelazny's Lord of Light, This Immortal is funny, action packed and heavily layered elements from Greek mythology. Fans of Greek myth (like me!) will love this novel.
It is very short (58,000 words only) and can be read in one sitting. This Immortal was written in the 60s so expect some material which can seem little bit dated. One reviewer noted, for example, that Conrad and the other characters will smoke at the drop of a hat and today smoking in public gatherings is pretty much taboo in polite society so that type of thing will tell you that this is a pretty old book.
This Immortal Quotes:
- The day of battle dawned pink as the fresh-bitten thigh of a maiden.
- Love is a negative form of hatred.
- In attempting to reconstruct the affairs of these past six month, I realize now that as we willed walls of passion around our October and the isle of Kos, the Earth had already fallen into the hands of those powers that smash all Octobers.
