Memorial Day parades start Saturday

May 25, 2006
SHARPSBURG - In addition to honoring local veterans with more solemn services, at least three local towns will celebrate the Memorial Day holiday weekend with parades. Boonsboro-area resident Army National Guard Maj. Gen. Boyd M. Cook will be the grand marshal for Sharpsburg's annual Memorial Day parade this Saturday, says Sharpsburg Town Councilwoman Patti Hammond. Cook is the Department of Defense's appointed Maryland chair for employer support of the guard and reserve. A Memorial Day parade and service will be held in Boonsboro on Sunday, May 28. The wreath-laying ceremony and memorial service start at 1 p.m. in front of the library.
Segregated in death

email@example.com SHARPSBURG - Visitors to Antietam National Cemetery will find the grave sites of eight black soldiers, who served in World War I and World War II, tucked away in the back corner of the cemetery. Pfc. Howard S. Puller of West Virginia, Sgt. Littleton Goens of Maryland and Lee I. Lavender, a cook, are among the buried soldiers whose names are barely legible on the weathered headstones containing their date of death and military rank. Unlike the other soldiers, these soldiers represent a "great irony," said John Howard, the cemetery's superintendent.
Patriotic place

WASHINGTON COUNTY - Fifty years had passed since Lee Kaiss stepped foot in Antietam National Cemetery, but Saturday, the retired U.S. Navy captain returned and reminded a group gathered for a Memorial Day service why their surroundings are so important. The 67-year-old Hagerstown native told the crowd that the word "Antietam" means something different to people with different backgrounds, from historians to parliamentarians to naval personnel. Definitions of the word include the site of the bloodiest single day of battle in U.S. history, the catalyst for the Emancipation Proclamation and the name of three naval ships, he said.

In September 1862, a majority of Sharpsburg residents fled their homes as Union and Confederate soldiers converged on the town to wage war. Now, almost 150 years later, Antietam National Battlefield officials are bracing for an influx of another sort. Susan Trail, a National Park Service ranger and superintendent at the battlefield, said Wednesday during a Hagerstown-Washington County Chamber of Commerce breakfast that thousands of tourists are expected to attend the sesquicentennial celebration of the battle from Sept.
'A day to honor those fallen in service'

SHARPSBURG -- Sharpsburg resident Brian Spielman said he wanted to make sure that his two young children attended the town's Memorial Day celebration Saturday. As he and his son, Gavin, 5, and daughter, Abby, 7, sat on the porch of his father's Main Street home, Spielman said he believed it was essential for his children to learn the holiday's meaning at an early age. "I want to teach them about the importance of our military and the veterans who fought for our freedom," Spielman said.
Hundreds pay tribute and celebrate at Sharpsburg parade

firstname.lastname@example.com SHARPSBURG - Solemn reflection followed lively parading in Sharpsburg on Saturday during the town's annual Memorial Day tribute. Following a wreath-laying ceremony, dozens of military organizations, community groups, school bands, politicians and pageant winners marched and rolled down Main Street. Bands played, batons twirled, firetrucks honked. Hundreds of spectators clapped, cheered and called out their thanks to those who serve them. The youngest in the crowd waited with open hands, bowls and even an upside-down umbrella for candy tossed their way. The procession outlasted a brief, light rain as it headed east before finishing near Antietam National Cemetery.
Decorating veterans' graves a Memorial Day tradition

With Memorial Day approaching, Anna and James M. Harnish of Fairview this week decorated their son's grave at St. Paul's Church Cemetery near Clear Spring. The couple placed flowers, a cross and a pinwheel in memory of their son, James L. Harnish, who served in the U.S. Marine Corps in Germany in the 1960s. He died in 2007. Anna Harnish, 81, said although the flowers were artificial, she did her part to keep alive an American tradition that dates to the aftermath of the Civil War. "It signifies remembrance," she said.
Sharpsburg Elementary School fifth-graders honor fallen soldiers
By CALEB CALHOUN | email@example.com
May 24, 2013
Sharpsburg Elementary School fifth-grader Kahlin Stydinger said placing American flags on the graves at Antietam National Cemetery was a way to reward the Civil War soldiers buried there because of what they fought for. "That's the only reason why we don't have slavery today," she said. "All of these people sacrificed their lives." Sharpsburg fifth-grader Mason Gumm also said placing the flags by the graves recognizes what the soldiers accomplished. "These people helped this country be one and unite both halves, the south and the north," he said.
Event culminates with remembrance ceremony honoring those who died at Antietam 150 years ago

A fitting way to cap off this past weekend's events commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Antietam, a remembrance ceremony Monday paid tribute to the thousands of men who died as a result of America's bloodiest day. More than 100 people attended the event, which featured the reading of about 3,400 names of soldiers killed at Antietam or who died later from their wounds, according to National Park Service Ranger Alann Schmidt. "We thought it would be something nice, something special; a little more meaningful for our 150th anniversary," he said.
A final resting place
By C.J. LOVELACE | firstname.lastname@example.com

When the dust settled and the smoke cleared after the Sept. 17, 1862, Battle of Antietam, thousands of soldiers lay dead or wounded on the rolling fields near Sharpsburg. "For one day of battle, there would be really long, long, long lasting impacts," said Alann Schmidt, a park ranger at Antietam National Battlefield. "A lot of folks focus on the troop movements from the battle, but it doesn't take long until the glory and rush of battle give way to the harsh reality of what you're faced with in a practical and logistical sense afterward," Schmidt said.

Memorial Day Parade a Sharpsburg tradition
By ALICIA NOTARIANNI | email@example.com
May 26, 2012
For Connie Knight, the parade was, in part, a march down memory lane. As she sat with her sisters among spirited throngs packing Main Street in Sharpsburg Saturday afternoon, Knight recalled marching in the Memorial Day parade with her elementary school class. But more than that, Knight said, the event serves as a reminder. "I think it's very important that we remember our veterans and our soldiers and celebrate this day," said Knight, 69, of Sharpsburg. "Pay honor." A memorial ceremony kicked off the 145th Memorial Day Commemoration during late morning.

Sharpsburg officials have been preparing all week for Saturday's 145th Sharpsburg Memorial Day commemoration. The event, which usually draws between 8,000 and 10,000 people, will include a memorial ceremony and a Memorial Day parade. "We've got all the bands lined up, and we got all the flags up Wednesday night," Sharpsburg Vice-Mayor Bryan Gabriel said Friday. "We're getting our grandstand ready down at the square." More than 90 organizations in the area are scheduled to be featured in the parade.

Sharpsburg Elementary fifth-grade students placed flags on the graves of soldiers at Antietam National Cemetery on Thursday, May 26. The students were accompanied by National Park Service rangers, chaperones and classroom teachers Cindy Weaver and Kim Rishell. Betty Otto Kretzer, a park ranger at the time this event was started 23 years ago, originated the idea of having students place flags on the soldiers' graves. Potters to open kiln at Boonsboro site Local potters Blair Meerfeld and Allison Severance invite visitors to their first public kiln opening Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. The wood-fired salt kiln is located at Searchwell Farm, 18839 Manor Church Road, Boonsboro.
Sharpsburg's Memorial Day commemoration has been tradition for 144 years
May 28, 2011
One person called it "small-town USA at its best" and another a "back-then town. " Sharpsburg's Memorial Day commemoration, which was held Saturday, has been a town custom for 144 years. The community marked the holiday with a parade, wreath-laying ceremony and service at Antietam National Cemetery. Sharpsburg Mayor Hal Spielman said the events are important traditions for Sharpsburg, although attendance has been waning. "We'd have a lot more people here when I was a kid," Spielman said after dignitaries and veterans' organizations placed 32 wreaths on town square.
Delve beyond the battle
By TIFFANY ARNOLD
September 19, 2010
Mark P. Brugh's original play "Antietam Anthologies: 1862" examines the messy work - and messy politics - of identifying, relocating and re-interring the bodies of Confederate soldiers six years after the Battle of Antietam. "I wanted people to know the names of the people from Sharpsburg who did heroic acts of bravery and exhibited valor in the wake of adversity," said Brugh, as actors arrived for a recent Wednesday night rehearsal. "Antietam Anthologies" premieres Friday night and continues through Sunday, Sept.

"Combining authentic Thai cuisine, hospitality and service
with recipes that blend the five tastes of
sweet, spicy, sour, bitter and salty.
Are you in the mood for Thai?"
We weren't actually in the mood for Thai on a Saturday night,
but the wait for Toko was 80 minutes as we didn't have a reservation!
Strolling down the block in search for other options,
a brightly lit sign attracted our attention
and upon closer inspection the menu appeared quite inviting.
fragrantly marinated chicken grilled on skewers
served with peanut sauce
(tender pieces of chicken thigh, great peanut dressing & sweet shallots sauce
though disappointing that the fat & skin were not removed.)
deep fried soft shell crab
served with sweet plum sauce & sweet chilli
(extra crispy batter & ample serving of crab)
chicken pad thai
stir fried thin noodle with egg, diced tofu, been sprouts & crushed peanuts
(staple dish that can't go wrong, less oily compared to Thai at Newtown)
healthy shiitake mushroom stir-fry
a vegetarian delight, shiitake mushroom, tofu,
seasonal vegetables stir-fried with soy sauce
(surprisingly the highlight of the night. fresh vegetables cooked perfectly, crunchy beans & broccoli, soft onions with roasted cashews.)

My Fantasy Sports Addiction
There comes a time in everybody's life when they are forced to take a step back and contemplate the particular set of circumstances that have conspired to make up the gist of said life. Having said that, does anybody know if there is a 12-step program I can work for my ongoing addiction to...
Fantasy sports at ESPN
Back in 1997 I drafted my first fantasy sports team. It was a baseball draft, held at night on ESPN. My dad had talked me into joining a league he was in, so I decided to give it a try. I've been hooked ever since.
I drafted my team in a computer lab on the campus of UNLV, jumping back and forth between two different computers, because one of them kept crashing and needing occasional reboots. I'm sure a few heads were turned, as I monopolized those two computers, but I didn't care; I was living in the moment.
When the draft ended, I went to French class and took an exam. I don't remember what I got on that test, but I can tell you probably at least 5 players I drafted that night and how they performed for me throughout the season. From that point forward I was hooked.
Get published with Hubpages!
- Hubpages - so easy a caveman can do it
Getting started with hubpages is so darn easy, why even a caveman could do it. Sorry for the blatantly obvious pop culture reference, but it truly is a fact.
Fantasy sports stuff at Amazon.com
Let's fantasize
What is your favorite fantasy sport?
When it comes to playing fantasy sports, nobody beats ESPN for overall accessibility and functionality. Not many people will readily admit that, because that's like saying you like other giant monopoly types, like Microsoft, The New York Yankees and the utility companies.
There's no getting around it, though. ESPN is the best. I've been using them since 1997, and I've tried countless others. This is not to say that other fantasy sporting sites don't have some fine features, it's just that ESPN far surpasses the rest.
What ESPN offers the casual and rabid fantasy goers
ESPN fantasy sports can be broken down into 3 categories: A, B & C. Pretty simple stuff.
*Category A sports - These fantasy sports require the participants to pay for the privilege of competing for prizes. Last year(2009) I won my fantasy football league (1 out of 10 ain't bad, I suppose), so ESPN sent me a t-shirt as a prize. ESPN is not a gambling site, so if you're in it for the money, you'll have to find your competition elsewhere.
Category A
Fantasy football
Fantasy Baseball
Fantasy Hockey
Fantasy Basketball
*Category B - Breaks down into other major sports that will attract fans that want to compete, but who would never dream of paying for the privilege.
Category B
Nascar and other racing games
Bass fishing (Yes, I have a bass fishing team)
Soccer / Football
*Category C - Can best be described as tournament type competitions. Right now the 2010 Winter Olympics are underway, so there's a fantasy game at ESPN that'll allow you to pick the winners of several daily competitions. The winner is the player with the most correct picks at the end of the games. That person will probably win a TV or something like that. I usually finish in the top 90th percentile in these games when I put my mind to it, but I've never really flirted with the top prize; That's Ken Jennings territory, if Ken Jennings were into fantasy sports. You get my point.
Category C
NCAA March Madness Brackets
Olympic games
World Cup Soccer
Other miscellaneous fantasy games
ESPN is also currently running a game they call "Streak for the cash" which allows people to pick one game at a time throughout the day, while trying to amass the longest streak during the month. This sounds easy, but I've been playing this game for almost a year, and my longest streak is 12 games.
Typically, the monthly winner will end up around 20 wins. ESPN used to run the Streak for an extended period of time, but then it seemed to drag on too long. Then, they would pay out $2000 for the Streaker with the most wins in the month, not necessarily consecutively. Now, they just pay $100,000 to the Streaker with the longest consecutive monthly streak AND a monthly overall total winner.
When you put it all together, ESPN comes up with a ranking system it calls its UBER rating, wherein it compiles a competitor's scores through a calendar year based on the games they've played. I routinely finish in the 99.9% That's not bragging; That's pointing to the title of this Hub, and the addiction to the hobby of fantasy sports. Truth be told, I've gotten away from it over the past few years, ever since I discovered internet marketing and The 'Four Word Film Review' . My love of all things film related has soothed the savage fantasy beast, as it were.
So, there's much to choose from at ESPN from a fantasy perspective. The great part about playing there is the unlimited resources at your fingertips for researching games and players. Check it out if you think you might be interested; It's a great way to pass the time.
Like I said, I've tried other sites, but I always gravitate back to ESPN. Every year, in fact, a friend of mine runs a league at some other online sports site, a big-name one even, but it's a little disappointing in the end. It's like growing up eating Hostess cakes, then marrying somebody who's always buying little Debbie or Tastee Cakes, etc. It just isn't the same, and they just don't get the message when you try to clue them in on how it's supposed to be done.

March madness - The road to the Final Four
ESPN is also currently running a game they call "Streak for the cash" which allows people to pick one game at a time throughout the day, while trying to amass the longest streak during the month. This sounds easy, but I've been playing this game for almost a year, and my longest streak is 12 games.
This hub is great and very useful!It's like it answer my dilemma.On my opinion, ESPN is a very great site to play Fantasy Sports, but just recently, I also found this great site with One day fantasy sports contest. Man, http://fantasyfactor.com is awesome!
Hey this hub kind of sums up my problem too. I play fantasy soccer on the premier league website. The worst thing about playing is that my loyalty to my favourite team is no longer as genuine as it used to be. If one of my players scores a goal against the team I support I'm secretly happy.


text: I searched on this but couldn't find anything so hopefully it wasn't asked already. On my old BB Storm, I had the FB app installed. When I got a FB wall post, message, comment, etc, the notice would come to my FB app and I would get a notification. I believe that it would first pass to my comcast e-mail account (since that was my FB login), then go to my Storm then get auto deleted from my comcast e-mail. Now with the DX, I am using the stock e-mail client (I know, but it's working OK for me). So I will get the FB notice from FB, but I will also get the e-mail FB notice from comcast. Anyone know why and how I could eliminate the comcast e-mail notices and just get the FB notices? Thanks.

You may remember a couple of weeks ago when I posted about stylist, Carolyn Sieber's spectacular wedding. And now I am sure you have also seen it in the September issue of Vogue, which is only fitting for the wedding of year! Well, I just had to have a little spotlight dedicated to her incredible Chanel Couture gown, which was one of the most amazing aspects of the wedding! As a Chanel ambassador, it is no surprise that Carolyn wore a custom Karl Lagerfeld creation. I loved this glimpse that Vogue gave into the process of Carolyn finding her dress... actually THE dress.

As a result, the bureau had to engage English
teachers from outside. However, students have expressed reservations about the
teaching prowess of the teachers.
The English programme at the Bureau
was introduced and developed by the faculty of the Department of English in
1989. The chairman of the department was the Academic Supervisor and three
teachers Dr Fauzia Shamim, Prof Kaleem Raza Khan and Abbas Hussain, were
appointed as the tutors. All the three teachers are trained in English language.
After some times, the programme was taken over by some teachers of the
department who are not trained to teach the English language.
the bureau is headed by Dr Junaid Sagheer Siddiqui, a professor at the
Department of Statistics, and it seems that there is no love lost between the
English Department and Dr Siddiqui. The English teachers are complaining of the
alleged high handedness of Muhammad Waseem, a clerk in the bureau. They say that
he (Waseem) prepares the time table on his own accord. The time table, according
to some teachers, does not suit them.
Dr Siddiqui, however, denied the
accusations calling it a figment of the teachers' imagination. He complained
that the teachers never talk to him directly and always communicate with him
through Waseem. He said that Waseem happens to be a straight forward person and
is an honest and hard working employee, adding that he did not find any fault at
his end.
Dr Siddiqui said that they had hired two CSS members
who taught Interview, Précis and Pak Affairs to the students. Some 100 students
were currently enrolled for courses prior to their taking the CSS examinations.
Some 150 students were enrolled for polishing their English. The number varies
at different academic years.
Some teachers of the English Department said that
the bureau should be handed over to them. Dr Siddiqui said
that he has no problem. "If the Vice Chancellor wants so, it is okay. I am here
because I have been asked to head the bureau. I will go back, willingly to my
department (Statistics)," he said.
Waseem, the clerk at the bureau
denied any wrong doing. "I am not involved in any malpractice. Some teachers (of
the English Department) had been offended by my straight talk and I went to them
and apologised. I do not know what the whole fuss is about?" he maintained.
Some students of the bureau said that in their opinion it
should be handed over to the English Department.
BIEK slaps examination bar on 'cheaters'
Karachi: The 11 students who were allegedly involved in cheating and using
unfair means during the Higher Secondary School Certificate (Part II), Science
Group, Pre Engineering, annual examination 2009 will not be allowed to appear in

allowed to appear for one year, said a press release issued on Wednesday by the
Board of Intermediate Education Karachi (BIEK).
BIEK Chairman Anwar Ahmed
Zai said that the Board would not tolerate cheating culture and candidates who
are found in cheating would be punished strictly. He said that all candidates
found guilty must appear in front of the Board's committee, and face their
cases. He added that if the accused tried to pressurise the Board, then the BIEK
would increase their penalty.
Zai also asked the members of the
committee, which consists of senior teachers, to review each and every case and
take decision according to merit. The BIEK has also cancelled the results
of 492 students. These students have been advised to appear in examinations next
year. However, 21 candidates were allowed to appear in supplementary

2pc job quota for disabled
Karachi: The government is giving two per cent jobs to disabled persons in
official institutions, while opportunities of training them in different sectors
were also being provided so as to make them productive citizens, said Chief
Minister Sindh, Syed Qaim Ali Shah on Wednesday.
In his message on World
Disabled Day (3rd December), Shah urged philanthropists to come forward and help
the disabled.
Chief Minister Sindh, Syed Qaim Ali Shah said that
different institutions of the provincial government were providing help to
disabled persons, which needed to be more effective and useful so that better
facilities could be provided to them.
The Chief Minister Sindh, Syed
Qaim Ali Shah said this day was being observed all over the world to show
solidarity with disabled persons. The chief minister added that this
occasion demanded that we should provide ful support to the special persons so
that their burden could be eased.
NAPA graduates first enterprise
Karachi: Since the day the National Academy of Performing Arts was formed
in 2005 all eyes were fixed on the people who would graduate with Bachelors
degrees in Performing Arts. The formation of NAPA Repertory Theatre Company
(RTC) was another milestone but the graduates were still under the shadow of
there veteran faculty members. Rung Munch, a new theatre group formed by NAPA
graduates is a ray of hope for youngsters aspiring for a future in performing
arts. The founding members of Rung Munch include Ali Shaikh, Bakhtawar Mazhar,
Ovais Mangalawala, Babar Jamal and Uzma Sabeen.
"We know that coming from
NAPA RTC and forming an independent group is a risky job. Comparisons will be
made although we do not guarantee as professional a job as our teachers but we
want to bring our form of entertainment to the masses," Uzma, one of the
founding members of Rung Munch said.
She was of the opinion that
the advent of NAPA and other emerging theatre groups had revived the theatre
culture but now the theatre, she opined, had started to become very serious. "We
want to cater to the masses through our performances. We neither want to be as
profane as the plays that take place at Fleet club, nor as serious that the
entertainment value of the medium dies," she added.
Theatre is a very
strong medium of expression and not everyone realises its power but the members
of Rung Munch are keen to form a platform for upcoming theatre artistes. "Being
professionally trained is not only a qualification but it is a responsibility.
There are a handful of trained theatre professionals in Pakistan and all of them
in the later pert of their lives, we as young trained thespians need to lay a
foundation for upcoming artistes who plan to pursue theatre as a carrier," Uzma
Rung Munch is entering the market with a plan to change trends
that are hindering the progress of theatre in Karachi.
'Loan-ly in Love'
a play written by Babar Jamal and Directed by Uzma Sabeen will be the debut
production of Rung Munch and will go on stage at the PACC auditorium from
December 3. The news

I'm up early and dressed like a boy this morning so that I can go into the DMV and get a driver's license. It's pretty awkward, because "dressed like a boy" for me means "not wearing any bright sparkly eyeshadow or visible dresses or slips." I might pull my hair up into a hat, but honestly that's more for undercover spy effect than anything valid and important. Also I think my sports bra- which doesn't even squish my tits much- is in the washing machine, and I'm not invested in binding, so it is the most half-assed drag you're ever gonna see. Like, when I actually DO intentionally drag boy, there's usually lots of eyeliner. I feel like today I'm dragging hoodie/lazy, which isn't really a gender identity.
I mean, maybe it's somebody's. If hoodie/lazy is your gender identity, I totally support that.
Anyway, I completely forgot to make arrangements for somebody to come with me to the DMV, which means I think I'm going to drive Alex's truck over there by myself without an escort, which is illegal. Whatever though. I grew up middle class in New Jersey, I drove a car everywhere every day for something like eight years. The only reason I don't have a license now is that, when I was in New York, I was so invested in saying "Car? Sneer. I ride a bike" that I let mine expire. And also, everybody I knew who had a car in New York made it sound like such a giant pain that it wasn't worth it. So I carried a non-driver ID as a statement of protest against America or the oil companies or whatever.
Anyway, wish me luck! If I get a license, it will have the wrong name and gender on it. But getting a wrong license is the first step in the process of getting a license with the right name and gender on it, as far as I can tell. I don't know, I'm pretty much making this trans stuff up as I go along.

Fertilizer Friday at Tootsie Time
Thrifty Things Friday at The Thrifty Groove
Nifty Thrifty Tuesdays at Coastal Charm
2nd Time Around Tuesday at A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
Vintage Thingie Thursday at Coloradolady
I did manage to stop in our new Thrift here in town.
I was kind of disappointed, although it was what I expected.
A somewhat OK variety of items but higher prices.
I did find 2 items for a decent price.
I thought this faux stone Angel shelf would look cute in the gazebo.
It weighs a ton but I love the old sandy look of it.
It had some nicks on it so I got it for 75 cents.
This little faux ivy topiary is going into the gazebo too, 50 cents.
There were some other items there I would have liked to get but the prices weren't copacetic to my wallet. :)
No worries.....
I even put these where I wanted them...
boy, am I on top of things or what??!!
See the Angel hanging on the Gazebo?
After mixing some craft paint together and covering up the nicks in it,
I got it hung up by making an "S" hook out of old bailing wire ;)
My Antique Weeping peach is blooming it's head off!
See my vintage bunny peeking out?
I'm adding things to hide that ugly pot my Hydrangea is in,
the Ivy Topiary helped, you can see it peeking in the bottom left corner ;)
I'm happy with them ♥

'WE CAN BE THE FIRST GENERATION THAT ENDS POVERTY' Ban Ki-moon
It was hoped the Addis Ababa conference would be the starting point for cooperation and global partnerships to end poverty. This article from The Guardian explains why..
'An African proverb teaches that "fine words do not produce food". That wise counsel is foremost in my mind as leaders gather in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for a pivotal global financing conference to put the world on course to end poverty and protect the planet.
This must be a year for global action. In September, the international community will adopt a new set of sustainable development goals for the next 15 years. In December, governments have committed to reach a first-of-its-kind universal and meaningful climate change agreement in Paris. But without resources, commitments will amount to little more than promises on paper.
Building a sustainable world requires more than fine words, it needs finance. That is why it is encouraging that this year of action begins with the third international conference on financing for development in Addis Ababa. In a world in which both the global population and resource constraints are growing, development finance needs a reboot. The Addis Ababa conference can be the starting point for a new era of cooperation and global partnership.

God's people were destined to go into captivity due to their rebelliousness against their God for many generations. The Lord, through Jeremiah, told the people that the captivity would last 70 years and that they would be removed from their land and taken 700 miles away to Babylon. In our verse today, the Lord tells them how they can make their time in captivity easier on themselves. They should seek peace for the city and pray for their captor.
Are you stuck in a difficult place today that seems to always provide hardship and suffering? Try to follow God's advice here through Jeremiah. Pray specifically for the troublemakers and the situations that surround you. God will hear, deal with the trouble, and, as a result, you will find peace in that very place.
Learning to pray through it all,
Pastor Jack Abeelen

Weatherill worries the Productivity Commission review will not provide a good outcome for car manufacturing industry
South Australian Premier Jay Weatherill said he would continue to press the Federal Government and Holden to reach a decision regarding the future of the car maker as workers at the Elizabeth plant continue to remain in a state of uncertainty.
"There's a lot of workers out there and their families that are very keen to know what their future holds," Mr. Weatherill told reporters today.
"I will be pressing for the earliest resolution I possibly can to this matter."
The Premier's statement comes after several media outlets reported that Holden General Manager Mike Devereux told government negotiators that closing the company's Australian manufacturing operations would cost them $600 million.
According to a report on The Australian, sources have divulged that the figures were discussed at meetings in Adelaide last week. Holden did not dispute the figure yesterday but only said they will not comment on anything discussed in private meetings.
Compared to the 2008 Mitsubishi closure in South Australia wherein the company spent $300 million and sacrificed 1,200 jobs, Holden's $600 million estimate is far more significant. It is understood that most of the amount would go to the redundancy liabilities of the remaining 1,750 Holden factory workers, aside from the cost of decommissioning the plant and the decontamination work.
According to the AAP report published via Sydney Morning Herald, Mr. Weatherill also declined to comment on the confidential negotiations, but he remains convinced that the Productivity Commission review of the car industry which the Federal Government is planning would not give satisfactory reports.
"The productivity commission is likely to recommend we allocate resources to another sector and just allow an industry like this to pass into oblivion," he said.
"That's a very worrying suggestion that the future of this industry is put in their hands without some very clear guidelines."
A typical Productivity Commission report takes about six months to complete and Federal Industry Minister Ian Macfarlane was very clear that he will not proceed without the findings from that report, which has not even started yet. It is possible that it could take until March for a decision to be reached.
Meanwhile Mr. Weatherill called to mind that workers at Holden recently voted to revise their pay and reduce working conditions to save the struggling company on the basis that a decision would be reached quickly.
"They were told it was urgent. I think they expect politicians to get on with resolving this issue on their behalf," he said.

The God's Word for You series has been an insightful and refreshing dive into the pages of Scripture, with books from Tim Keller and Tim Chester. The newest book in the series is 1 SAMUEL FOR YOU by Tim Chester takes the approach that the other books take, but into an Old Testament historical book. Chester approaches the book as a book that records the historical events of God's dealing with Israel at that time, but it's also a book that features a lot of typology and foreshadowing of the Messiah.
Many people approach stories in the Old Testament primarily for the examples they can find for how to live a godly life. Chester shows, however, that the story is primarily about God and what God does even though people are flawed and relentlessly disappoint him. Chester does a great job of taking some of the wordplay in the Hebrew and helping modern day English speaking readers understand what the author was trying to communicate. Repeatedly, Chester shows how the story of 1 Samuel is really the story of God and points forward to Jesus.
The God's Word for You Series is very user-friendly and provides a lot of useful insight about what the Scripture is saying and how it should impact our lives. I hope to continue reading more books in this series.

Post Surgery, Old Vehicles, New Vehicles, and Homecomings
We've had some major issues with the 12 passenger in the last 6 months. We've replaced the alternator, the battery, and the brakes. It's been struggling to start for over a year, but as long as it continued to start on the second try, we haven't been too concerned. Last week I took it in to have the air conditioning serviced for the summer. It has a leaking line that will cost $575 to splice and fix or $1300 to replace and they couldn't promise that the $575 fix would actually fix the problem. Ugh.
We were planning to replace the van later this summer. That time frame was moved up. On a whim, we posted our 12 passenger van for sale on Craig's list and a local want ad online. Within two hours we had an interested party who came out and test drove the van and bought it on the spot. The quick sale of the van necessitated the immediate purchase of our new vehicle. We have downsized to an 8 passenger Honda Pilot. Happy Mother's Day! It is the nicest car I've ever owned and boy does it have all the bells and whistles, including the much needed 4 wheel drive. I have to go to the dealership and take a class on how to operate all the special functions. I'm a bit freaked out by having something so nice. It's one thing for Wingnut, who's never had so much as a fender bender in any of his vehicles, it's a whole different story for me--the dent and scratch queen. Knowing this, Wingnut made sure our extras package had a back-up camera.
In the midst of all the vehicle exchange, Karate Kid returned home from college. We are so excited to have her home and as an added bonus, Karate Kid has decided to transfer to a college much closer to home this coming school year. It is going to be awesome having her so close to home and she's going to love being able to come home and ski every weekend.

Congrats on the new car! I keep thinking we should of just gone straight to the top and bought a 12 passenger van, but so far the suburban is doing just fine. I bet you all will have lots of fun skiing. I tried it once, didn't like it. I prefer to just watch everyone else and drink hot chocolate.

Thanks for share this post I also share with you something hope you like my post. You've bought your dream car and now you want to make it last at long as possible in top condition. Here are some things to remember as you pull it out of the dealer's lot: During the break-in period, typically the first 1,000 miles (1,600 km), keep your speed under 55 mph (88 kpm) or to the speed recommended by your car's manufacturer. Avoid heavy loads on the drive train, such as towing trailers, and loading the roof rack or trunk with heavy construction materials. Thanks

I've read people comparing these to the Revlon Lip Butters so I knew I had to give it a try.
-The packaging is nice
-Nice scent
-Moisturizing. Doesn't dry out my lips
-Applies easily
-Lasting power is average. Washes off once I eat or drink
- This shade didn't work for me. My lips are very pigmented so this shade blended into my natural lips just giving it a little shine.
I'm not going to completely write these off yet.
I still want to try a darker color to see if I can get more color payoff.

Godaddy has decided to move all of its 4.5 million parked domains to a Microsoft Windows server platform. The move from Linux is supposedly to maximize assets and permit rapid deployment of new technologies.
Said the quotes in the Microsoft Press Release:
"Our business is based on providing the best possible service at the lowest possible price. This strategy requires us to maximize all of our resources, particularly our technology assets,†said Warren Adelman, GoDaddy.com president and COO. "It was clear from all of the testing we've conducted that Microsoft provides an efficient and scalable operating platform, while also providing the performance needed to handle our extraordinary growth.â€ÂÂ
I am sure they spent some time trying to figure out what is best for them. But I really wonder what the politics were behind this move as I have never seen anything slicker about Windows server hosting over Linux, and I have definately not seen any example where it is a less expensive deployment.

Man Wins Resentencing Based on Cuba Remarks
CHICAGO (CN) – A Cuban immigrant is entitled to resentencing after lawyers and a judge improperly linked his crime to attitudes in his home country, the 7th Circuit ruled.
Federal agents tracking a Miami-based national credit card fraud scheme followed a trail of unauthorized transactions to the Milwaukee area in 2010.
Wisconsin-area agents arrested Giraldo Trujillo-Castillon, Marco Tabares and Lauriano Puerto after video surveillance captured the men using fake credit and gift cards to buy more than $139,000 in merchandise at Kohl's and Cabela's.
Trujillo-Castillon pleaded guilty to one count of using unauthorized accounts and one count of aggravated identity theft. All other charges against him were dismissed under his plea agreement.
U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa sentenced Trujillo-Castillon to six years in prison, two of which were mandatory under the aggravated identity theft statute.
Trujillo-Castillon appealed, arguing that the court failed to weigh his mitigation evidence and improperly considered his Cuban heritage at sentencing.
Though the 7th Circuit quickly rejected the mitigation argument, several questionable references to Trujillo-Castillon's national origin gave the three-judge panel pause.
At sentencing, the government prosecutor said Trujillo-Castillon viewed fraud differently than violent crimes "because of his Cuban heritage. … Maybe there is a different attitude toward private property in Cuba."
The prosecution later told Randa, "if [Trujillo-Castillon] came here because he thought it would be easy, then I would simply suggest that he and others like him either wise up, or don't come."
Trujillo-Castillon's lawyer also contributed, explaining that Cubans view theft as "pulling a Robin Hood type of act" and suggesting that Cuban immigrants have a hard time adjusting to "the American way of life."
But most significant, according to the 7th Circuit, were Judge Randa's comments when announcing the verdict.
Randa said that Trujillo-Castillon's lifestyle cannot "be blamed on Cuba," and his record was reminiscent of "when the Mariel people came over here and created crime waves all over the place … when Castro emptied his prisons, and his psychiatric wards, and Jimmy Carter took them all in."
Addressing Trujillo-Castillon directly, Randa told him that "in America, private property is sacrosanct. It's not the Government's property. … And that's the way we live in America. And that's why it's a serious offense when you do this."
Presented with this record, the 7th Circuit vacated Trujillo-Castillon's sentence.
"The guidelines make clear that race, sex, national origin, creed, religion, and socio-economic status 'are not relevant in the determination of a sentence,'" Judge Diane Williams wrote, quoting federal law.
Randa exacerbated the problematic statements by failing to distance himself from the remarks, the court ruled.
"By lumping the defendant in with the Mariel people and expressly contrasting the values held by Americans with people, like the defendant, 'who come from Cuba,' the court arguably made Trujillo-Castillon's national origin a factor at sentencing," Wood wrote.
"Clarifying the basis for the defendant's sentence-or correcting the sentencing court's erroneous consideration of his nation origin-requires only a brief resentencing procedure," Wood added. "We think that is a very small price to pay."

In Spite of great importance and interest in limnological modeling which is an emerging field, today very little literature is available regarding this subject, and the need for such books has been keenly felt both by students and teachers. This book limnological modeling is meant to fulfill such a need. It will interest those who are involved with, and those who have a concern for, the control of limnological pollutions. This book consists of six chapters including a newly developed model to predict DO-BOD interaction. This model is a generalized one and can be used throughout the world in any river system. This book will help students, teachers, limnologists, researchers, academicians etc. in understanding the mathematical models.

Test plot data has likely already arrived in your mailbox. No telling how many seed salesmen have already pulled up your drive, some you know and some you don't know. All have test plot results to hand you. If they're not in a fancy booklet, they will be soon. And all have an order book so they can sell you seed. How do you know which ones might be the right ones to do business with?
If you're going to pay attention to their test plot data, ask questions. Are they strip trials? If they're strip trials, was there a checker or test hybrid included? If so, was it every other entry, every third entry, or every fourth entry across the field?
Agronomists will question the value of checker hybrids in test plots. Their point is that replicated plots are better, where you repeat the entire test at least twice, preferably three times. From a scientific standpoint, there's no question that can help you pick out which hybrids or varieties are truly better than another more accurately. From a realistic standpoint, it's not going to happen on most farms.
What may happen is a strip trial. And if you can include a checker hybrid, you at least get some measure of how the hybrid you're testing does against the checker. If you run the check hybrid across the field as every third entry, for example, and it yields from 175 to 180 bushels per acre every time, then you've got a uniform plot.
However, if the yield ranges from 130 to 210 bushels per acre, then obviously soil type or some other issue caused huge differences in the check hybrid. If hybrid B next to the 210 entry yielded 215, it may not be better or even as good as hybrid B that yielded 145 bushels per acre next to the check strip that ran 118 bushels per acre.
The key is how the two hybrids did in reference to the check strip.
It's not scientific, but it will help take some bias out of your evaluation of plots. In this case it should keep you from dismissing the hybrid that made 145 bushels per acre out of hand. That's when you need to know what went on during the season, and what caused low yields on that side of the field.
The bottom line is simple: ask questions before you put too much stock in test plots.

A warm, or should I say chilly welcome back to Term 3 to all members of the Year 11 and 12 community!
The progress report meetings held in last week of term for Unit 4 subjects was another successful night for both families and the staff working together to achieve the best educational outcomes. As is the way at Padua, we are now off and running in what is a busy term with Units 2 and 4 in full swing. For our students completing Unit 3 and 4 subjects we are fast approaching the start of the VCAA Exam period, with the English Exam on 1 November the starting point of exams for most students.
It has been a privilege to witness all students involved in the rehearsal for the College production of Beauty and the Beast which culminates in the sold out performances this week. What has been exciting to see is the Year 11 and 12 students who have committed their time amongst their studies to be involved in the production and working so closely with the younger students. I hope you were lucky enough to buy some tickets to witness the wonderful production.
This Term started with our annual Semester 1 academic awards celebrating the Year 11 students who achieved academic excellence and achievement across their studies. The attendance of parents in these special assemblies only continues to highlight the strong partnership that exists between Padua College and our families. Such acknowledgement allows those students the credit they deserve and, if looked at as a challenge, challenges those who were not presented on stage to work towards this as a goal for Semester 2.
In the recent holiday break a number of students engaged in the Indigenous Immersion trip with Mrs Grace and Mr Harte. It has been great to hear some of their stories from this journey and we look forward to hearing more information in the near future. This again highlights the willingness of our students to live outside their own backyard, living and breathing our rich indigenous culture.
All Year 12 students attended the TRAG presentation on Tuesday 27 June. In what can only be described as a truly confronting and emotional experience, the life-long messages that were delivered by emergency services workers were hard hitting, but nothing in comparison to hearing from two mothers who had lost their own children in road accidents. Many students commented on the power of this presentation in ensuring safe driving habits are formed now. On return from the presentation the cohort gathered in the Chapel for a reflection in which students were prevailed the opportunity to light a candle for those in their thoughts. I am sure that your child would have discussed the presentation with you at home.
This week we have seen our Year 12 VCAL students leave for their 3 day city experience camp. This camp has a clear focus on the cultural diversity and investigation into serious issues that the city of Melbourne now faces. It is on their return that they begin their analysis of issues identified and work towards identifying solutions. This work culminates in a presentation to members of the wider Padua community and fellow students.
As always, I encourage all parents to continue to be active members of the Padua community, engaging in conversation about what topics are being studied in class, keeping abreast of upcoming events and making contact with a subject teacher as needed.

i apologize, in advance, for the randomness of this post. but there are thoughts i need to jot down and this is the best place for me to not lose them. so here goes.
-cinco de mayo party was AWESOME.
-dave makes some MEAN carnitas. who knew that yummy, delicious, salty and TASTY carnitas was pork FRIED IN LARD?! so gross. but so good!
-hitting a piñata is FUN!
-house hunting is exhausting. and exhilarating. and frustrating. and exciting. so many emotions – it's definitely draining!
-alex with an ear infection is NOT fun. alex recovered from an ear infection is sweet, lovable, chatty (with babbling), smiley and more.
-retraining alex to fall asleep on her own, in her own crib is NOT fun. but it might be getting better. i sure hope so.
-davey and samantha with head colds/allergies are not fun. especially the whining. but they are troopers and they let almost nothing slow them down.
-going to bed a few nights in a row before 9 and being sound asleep before 9:30 is a sure-fired way to get "back on track" with waking up before the rest of the family!
-going to bed ridiculously early does NOT help me accomplish anything "extra" around the house or with my own projects
-meal planning is a good thing. i'm pretty much a wreck without it (like i have been this past week)
-i do NOT want to be "that mom" that is known for yelling at her kids.
-it's hard to make myself go BACK to the gym for Zumba! after missing a few classes due to sick kiddos
-seeing the house hunt come "full circle" from how it started over a year ago in Lynden is pretty crazy. God has a good sense of humor.
-shopping is an addiction. but i'm keeping the TWO pairs of shoes i bought this week. 'cuz they're so fun and perfect for life here in AZ!
-my husband works hard – really hard – at his job. and i admire him for his work ethic (about as much as i am frustrated by it). and i love him for providing for us.
-it feels good to have officially "quit" my grown up job for the second time since having kids. now if i would just pack up the laptop and return it to them….
-vintage shopping is SO. MUCH. FUN.
-i'm going through garage sale shopping WITHDRAWAL – it's been about a month since i've done any!
-sawing alphabet blocks in half can make a girl pretty sweaty.
-fun mail is when (Great) Uncle Jon sends pictures of Dave/Daddy from 1989
-105* isn't as hot as you would think. but i reserve the right to change my mind later this summer!
-i miss my friends
-being "homesick" isn't fun
-it's SO CUTE how much Alex LOVES the show Blues Clues (she MUCH prefers the original episodes with Steve… Joe's not a good "replacement" for her)
-i LOVE to watch Alex scoot backwards on the couch or at the top of the steps so she can get/go down.
-Davey is getting to be a REALLY good artist.
-Sam is so easily frustrated when trying to draw or write. i'm afraid she's so much like her mother….
and that, my friends, is enough for today.
unrelated: i LOVE the kids in the above photo. my three plus two of Jenni's kids: Lacey and Jada. i had the privilege of watching the girls for an hour or two one morning while Jenni worked in Blake's Kindergarten class. Alex is OBSESSED with Jada (and Jada's pretty impressed with Alex) and Lacey is the PERFECT child to play with D&S – she's 8months younger than Davey and 7 months older than Sam. she loves to play princess dress up AND marvel super heroes. could God have provided any more perfect match for us here?

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – Southern Vermont College was downed 3-0 by Smith College Thursday night in non-conference women's volleyball action at Ainsworth Gymnasium.
The Pioneers took the sweep with set scores of 25-10, 25-10, and 25-15.
Next up for Southern Vermont (0-11) is a non-conference tri-match at SUNY Cobleskill on Saturday; the Mountaineers will take on Lancaster Bible College at 1 p.m. before playing the hosting Fighting Tigers at 3 p.m.
SVC junior captain Liv Sowles (Sacramento, Calif.) led the team with eight kills while adding a team-best 16 digs. Sophomore Sarah Billow (South Glens Falls, N.Y.) chipped in with three kills and eight digs as classmate Abigail Landon (South Glens Falls, N.Y.) had 11 assists and a pair of digs in the effort.
A Sowles kill early in the first made it a 3-1 Mountaineer upper hand, but Smith came back with a 7-1 run for a lead it would not relinquish. After Sowles landed an ace, the Pioneers scored eight unanswered to stake a comfortable advantage they would carry to the 1-0 edge on the night.
Smith rattled off eight straight in the onset of the second game before Sowles ended the run with a kill. The hosts would continue to score points to make it a double-digit separation, and they would take the final four points of the frame to go on top 2-0 in the match.
A pair of Sowles kills and an ace from Bennington College freshman Kemly Derby (New York City, N.Y.) put SVC ahead 5-1 to open up the third set. Smith would come back to tie it at 6-6, and 11-straight points by the hosts gave them a commanding upper hand. Billow and Sowles each recorded a kill to cut into the deficit, but it wasn't enough as the Pioneers closed out the night.

Lionel Messi and Neymar are coming to Australia. We repeat: arguably the greatest footballer of all time and the greatest current Brazilian player are both coming to play at the MCG in June in a full-strength match between Argentina and Brazil.
That's right. The number one and number two ranked football teams in the world will play right here in Melbourne on Friday, June 9, and they're bringing their big guns.
Whoa. There are lots of really big things in Australia (Uluru, the Reef, the Giant Prawn) that are NOWHERE NEAR AS BIG as this. South Americans call this match-up the "SuperClasico de las Americas". We think we'll call it the "YouBloodyRippero".
So why is it happening? The match has been 12 months in the making, and was first mentioned in the press in December. At a Friday morning press conference, Victorian Sports minister John Eren did what Victorian politicians do, touting the event as a "win for the world's liveable city".
You've got to give them credit. Victoria make these big things happen. Usain Bolt is in town right now, and the city has hosted many more big football clashes than Sydney in recent years.
Indeed, Liverpool set its largest ever attendance record anywhere in the world when in played at the MCG in 2013. Who'll ever forget the chilling rendition of 'You'll Never Walk Alone'?
The "YouBloodyRippero" match will take place a year before the next FIFA World Cup in Russia, and while it will technically be a "friendly" (a match that doesn't count towards any particular tournament), both Brazil and Argentina can be expected to take it seriously, rather than as an exhibition match.
The two teams rarely face each other outside of World Cup qualification matches or Copa America finals matches.
Tickets will be available on the 21st of February.
- The Argentine is 29 and plays his club football for Barcelona.
- After almost single-handedly taking his country to the 2014 FIFA World Cup final, he quit national duties. But he recently decided to play for Argentina again.
- He's the only player to win Ballons d'Or -- the award for the world's best footballer. (The Ballon d'Or was superceded by a different FIFA award in 2016 but that's a whole different story.)
- He can do anything. That's the thing you really need to know. Lethal anywhere near goal, he is also the most silky smooth player you'll ever see. Messi sees moves before they happen. He is all football brain, all sublime skill.
- The Brazilian is 25 and plays his club football alongside Messi at Barcelona.
- His real name is Neymar da Silva Santos Júnior but they just call him Neymar. Or sometimes Neymar Jr.
- Neymar was THE man as Brazil won its first ever gold medal in men's football at he Rio Olympics. It was his free kick which opened the scoring in the final against Germany, and his penalty which sealed the match.
- Neymar is a brilliant forward whose footwork is as good as his finishing. Though just 25, his 50 goals is already the fourth most for his country.
ABOUT THE BRAZIL vs ARGENTINA FOOTBALL RIVALRY
- They've played 107 times. The ledger reads Brazil 44 wins, Argentina 38 wins, with 25 draws.
- Brazil has won five FIFA World Cups (the most ever). Argentina has won two.
- Argentina currently sits a precarious fifth in the South American qualification zone for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. (Only the top four progress automatically. The fifth-placed team faces the Oceania winner.)
- This Melbourne match won't count for World Cup qualification points, but it'll count for confidence. And pride.

Recently on From Not To Hot, it's looked like June Shannon and Geno Doak might get married. June's ex has already gotten married — to Jennifer Lamb.
The series started with June's transformation, but now it looks like Jennifer's about to embark on her own weight loss journey.
There's just one potential obstacle: Sugar Bear.
In a recent From Not To Hot preview, Sugar Bear and Jennifer Lamb embarked on a "romantic" fishing trip.
During the downhill walk, Jennifer did not seem to be having a good time.
"Walking to the docks really made my chest hurt," she later admits to the camera. "It was hard to breathe."
Those are signs of what may be serious health problems.
(Being winded while walking uphill, which is not uncommon, is very different from experiencing genuine chest pains while traveling downhill)
Jennifer confesses: "I really don't think I could go on like this."
While there are perfectly healthy people with large bodies and some very unhealthy people who are slender, Jennifer fears that her size is the culprit.
"At this weight, I'm risking my health and my life."
And she is thinking about doing something about it.
But she is hesitant to undergo weight loss surgery.
Jennifer explains: "It scares me because … I have a lot to lose."
She's not making a joke about how many pounds she needs to shed. She's talking about her love life.
"Mike likes bigger women," Jennifer explains. "He might not like me if I lose all this weight."
For Jennifer, her life right now is about finding a balance.
"I wanna get healthy," she says. "But I don't want to lose my husband."
She even reveals that she is unsure of how to even broach the subject with Sugar Bear.
She tells the cameras: "I wish I could go ahead and tell Mike, but I'm really not ready for his reaction."
The hints that Jennifer may embark on a weight loss journey have been ongoing.
Remember back when Jennifer went to the doctor?
She complained of "chest pains, being dizzy, and just not feeling right."
She was shocked to learn, as she stepped onto the scale, that she weighed 431 pounds.
(Obviously, different people carry weight differently, but 431 is a lot of pounds for a human body to bear)
"Oh my God, I know that I've gained some weight," she said, still in shock. "But c'mon — that's a lot of weight."
At the time, she was fairly adamant about resisting the idea of a total body makeover.
"I don't believe in having surgery like June did just to lose weight," she said. "I've always said big is beautiful and I will always stand by that."
She's expressing second thoughts, now, perhaps because she has realized that this is less about size and more about her health.
"I don't want to look like June," she says adamantly. "I never would want to look like June, but if I keep doing what I'm doing now, I'm not guaranteed the next five years."
"Living with the weight on me could do more damage than having surgery," she admits.
Surgery has risks, but the risks of allowing her health to continue to decline may be even more severe.
But Jennifer was then and is in more recent clips afraid of losing Sugar Bear's affections.
"He loves me the way I am," she says. "So that's sort of what scares me too."
We would hope that he loves her for who she is, and not for her body shape.
"One thing I know," Jennifer insists. "Mike don't have nothing to do with no one that looks like June."
Not all weight loss has the same goal, Jennifer. And that's okay.
"My joints, my knees, my hip," Jennifer complained. "There's days I can't even function because they hurt so bad. I'm having chest pains, where you get out and you start walking and you can't breathe. At 44 I shouldn't be doing that."
That's not ideal at any age.
Perhaps, in the coming weeks, we'll learn that Jennifer has taken this major step for her health and her future.

In a speech on the economy on Tuesday, Hillary Clinton called out Donald Trump for not releasing his tax returns and wondered out loud what he is trying to hide.
"You have to ask yourself, what's he afraid of?" she asked, musing that he may have avoided paying taxes. "Or maybe he isn't as rich as he claims."
Clinton's speech comes the day after new FEC filings showed Trump's campaign with a paltry amount of cash on hand for a major party presidential campaign and Trump being forced to loan his campaign $2 million to keep it afloat.
Clinton also warned that a Trump presidency would hurt the economy, noting that economists say the presumptive Republican presidential nominee would "would throw us back into recession."
"Just like he shouldn't have his finger on the button, he shouldn't have his hands on the economy," Clinton said, comparing Trump's danger to national security to his potential impact on the economy.
Clinton bashed Trump's businesses practices, noting that he has filed for bankruptcy several times.
"He's written a lot of books about business. They all seem to end at Chapter 11," she said.
"We cannot put a person like this, with all his empty promises, in a position of power over our lives," she added. "We can't let him bankrupt America like we are one of his failed casinos. We can't let him roll the dice with our children's futures."
Clinton said that Trump is full of empty promises, noting that he's being sued for fraud by former students at his notorious Trump University.
"Now he's trying to say he's changed. Somebody's told him he needs to say that— that he's not in it for himself anymore," she said. "But he's doing the exact same thing he's been doing for years. This is his one move. He makes over the top promises that if people stick with him, trust him, listen to him, put their faith in him, he'll deliver for them, he'll make them wildly successful."
"And then everything falls apart and people get hurt," she continued. "Those promises you're hearing from him at his campaign rallies, they are the same promises he made to his customers at Trump University. And now they're suing him for fraud. The same people he's trying to get to vote for him are people he's been exploiting for years."
Throughout Clinton's speech, Trump responded to Clinton with several tweets, and his campaign sent out several press releases on Clinton's record and Trump's economic plan.
How can Hillary run the economy when she can't even send emails without putting entire nation at risk?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 21, 2016
Clinton also used the speech to criticize Trump's policy proposals, arguing that he would roll back Wall Street regulation.
"Trump would take us back to where we were before the crisis. He'd rig the economy for Wall Street again," she said. "Well, that will not happen on my watch, I can guarantee you."
She said that Trump calls himself the "King of Debt," noting that his tax plan would increase the national debt. She referenced a May interview in which Trump suggested he would try to "make a deal" and renegotiate the country's debt.
"It's like he said, 'You know, you make a deal before you go into a poker game.' Well, actually, it's not like that at all. The full faith and credit of the United States is not something we just gamble away. That could cause an economic catastrophe," she said. "And it would break 225 years of ironclad trust that the American economy has with Americans and with the rest of the world. Alexander Hamilton would be rolling in his grave."
