Technology is changing the future of bricks and mortar shopping by leaps and bounds, I expect that before December 21, 2012 that the following types of experiences will be commonplace;
A consumer walks into a store and a device at the door will connect with their smartphone over a wi-fi network, recording their MAC address. Based on their history of previous visits, promotions and information will be sent to them on items that they have exhibited an interest in either from their purchase or traffic history. As they wander through the store, similar devices will track the departments that they visited and how long they spent time there and what parts of the store interested them, these wi-fi devices are configurable to track traffic within circles as small as 10 feet
Using their mobile devices, consumers will be able to receive additional discounts by linking their devices to a profile that would have optional extended information such as favorite labels, sizes, etc. These profiles would also have an image that would be displayed from the consumer's Facebook or other social media feed so that store associates would be able to recognize them. Once registered, store associates would receive a feed on their tablet or other mobile device, when the consumer was in their vicinity showing the customers name, their image and some product recommendations and comments, so that they may greet them and provide relevant information to enhance the shopping experience.
When the consumer is ready to make their purchases either using their mobile devices or via a sales associate, a CRM record will be created linking their purchases to the MAC address and an anonymous profile will be created for the consumer unless they opted to create a personal profile. This will all be device and technology agnostic so multiple platforms and technologies can be supported (Bump, NFC etc).
At the portal where the consumers created their profile, they would get a history of all their purchases as well as able to track new shipments based on category brand, color size or other classifications or attributes that the retailer may establish. Consumers could create their own dressing rooms or shopping carts at any time and when they are ready to stop at the store they can send a message via the portal to the store requesting that those items be pulled and ready for them. Upon entry to the store, their device will activate a message to store personnel so that the items can be brought to an associate. As the consumer gets in proximity of the associate, they will appear in the associate's mobile stream together with information about the items in their dressing room or cart.
Of course if the consumer elects, all their purchase history and things that they put in their shopping cart can be posted to Facebook, Twitter and Google + with a gaming component that will allow them to get loyalty points that can be exchanged for merchandise based on how many of their social media friends comment or like the posts.
Now I need to call my wireless company, they don't seem to be tracking me as my GPS is not working. Who would have thought five years ago that I would be upset if my phone carrier was not able to monitor my every movement.

Better Care framework and accreditation
Better Care Framework
Our Better Care Framework is designed to ensure all people and consumers at Merri Health understand how we achieve high quality and safe healthcare and support services, and what everyone's role is in achieving this.
The framework uses the Safer Care Victoria, Department of Health and Human Services legislation and policy and applicable accreditation requirements.
Learn about how we achieve better care via our framework. We also have a summary version.
Ensuring quality care and continuous improvements for better outcomes.
Every three years, Merri Health takes part in a quality accreditation review, conducted by Quality Innovation Performance (QIP). Our last full accreditation review was in December 2016 when we were awarded accreditation having met the following standards:
- Quality Improvement Council (QIC) standards
- Department of Human Services Standards
- National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards (NQHS)
- Rainbow Tick standards
We were very pleased to achieve an 'exceeded' or 'met with merit' rating for the following standards:
- QIC Standard 2.3 – Cultural safety and appropriateness
- QIC Standard 3.2 – Collaboration and strategic positioning
- QIC Standard 3.4 – Community and professional capacity
- NSQHS 3.15.2 – Policies, procedures and/or protocols for environmental cleaning are regularly reviewed
- NSQHS 3.15.3 – An established environmental cleaning schedule is in place and environmental cleaning audits are undertaken regularly
- NSQHS 4.13.1 – The clinical workforce provides patients with patient specific medicine information, including medication treatment options, benefits and associated risks.
In March 2017, we were accredited under the National Standards for Mental Health Services. This accreditation means that we provide a high standards of mental health services including those provided under the National Disability Insurance Scheme.
Rainbow Tick accreditation
QIP assessors review us against six Rainbow Tick standards, which demonstrate gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex inclusive practice and service delivery.
We have met all six standards. We are very proud of this result, which recognises the large amount of commitment and effort that we made to make our services more inclusive.
Our next full accreditation review is due to be held at the end of 2019.

The EU Market Of Scaffolding Equipment Reached 2.4 Billion EURBearings, Gears, Gearing And Driving Elements February 19, 2015
Between 2009 and 2013, the EU scaffolding equipment market showed mixed dynamics, reaching 2.4 billion EUR.
Output of the five major producers of scaffolding equipment in the EU, namely Germany, Italy, Poland, France and Spain, represented more than 67% of total production in 2013. In Poland and Italy, production levels increased by 8.8% and 7.2% annually from 2009-2013. The balance of the countries showed mixed dynamics: Germany (+4.1%), France (+0,1%) and Spain (-8.2%).
EU imports experienced mixed dynamics in the last seven years. The significant drop in 2009 (44.5% Y-o-Y) was followed by a sharp increase over the next three years. The average annual growth rate of EU imports from 2009-2013 was 7.1%, in value terms.
In 2013, China (77.4 million tonnes), the United Arab Emirates (40.6 million tonnes) and India (16.8 million tonnes) were the main suppliers of scaffolding equipment into the EU and together made up 71% of total imports. While the share of the United Arab Emirates and India increased significantly, the share of the Russian Federation illustrated negative dynamics. The shares of the other countries remained relatively stable throughout the analyzed period.
Between 2009 and 2013, EU exports showed a strong upward trend, gaining 6.8% in physical terms and 7.6% in value terms. In 2013, Switzerland (48.6 thousand tonnes) and Chile (21.8 thousand tonnes) were the main destinations of EU exports, together comprising 17% of its total exports. However, the fastest growing importers of EU products from 2009-20013 were Peru (+151% per year), Chile (+57%) and Russia (+33%).

When Are Apportionments Due?
It is preferable that churches send in their apportionments on a monthly basis. The agencies and ministries which these apportionments support have monthly expenses, so a steady income enables them to focus on their ministry more readily.
If you receive special mission offerings intended for one of our agencies (Magnolia Manor, Vashti, Wesley Glen, Open Door Community Center, etc.), please send those funds on. These agencies often operate with VERY lean budgets, and your prompt gift will make a difference for them!
Many congregations have moved to the 10-month plan. They divide their annual askings into 10 equal payments. This allows them to skip a payment in July or August (whichever month has the lowest church income), and still make their final payment in November!
Online Payment of Apportionments
We now can accommodate online payment of apportionments. We partner with Vanco for our online payments, because we wanted to know that bank information was secure! Your church can pay their askings online from this webpage. (Note -- you can only pay via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT or ACH; we do not accept payments using credit or debit cards)).
Your 6-digit GCFA # is your username; your 5-digit SGA church # is the password. You can find these numbers on your remittance form and benefits bill. For example, your statement night say "Church number 12345 (654321). The 6 digit number in parentheses is your username (654321), and the 5 digit number is your password (12345).
To remit the funds, you will need to establish an account with Vanco, our online payment vendor. When you click "pay" it will take you to a portal where you will either sign in to your already established Vanco account, or it will lead you to set up a Vanco account. You will use the routing and account numbers from your check in this process. Be sure to put your email address in when you set up the account, as your receipt for payment will be emailed to you directly from the vendor, within minutes of making your payment.
One peculiarity to note: Many of you will bookmark the online payment link after you log out. THAT WON'T WORK, as the logout page is subtly different from the login page. Click the link above, then bookmark it BEFORE you have logged in, if you want to save the link for future use.
Final Day for 2018 Askings
The Final Day for apportionments for the 2018 Calendar year will be Friday, Jan. 11, 2019 if paying by mail, and Thursday, Jan. 10 if paying online. Our office has to send the funds on to the General Council on Finance and Administration (GCFA) the next week, and it takes us a couple of days to process everything. Funds received after the deadline will be applied to your 2019 askings.
Once GCFA closes their books, we are UNABLE to send them money for 2018. So thank you for sending your funds in time to have them properly credited.
Questions About Your Apportionments or Monthly Statement?
Do you have questions about your apportionments, or about the monthly statement you receive from us? Need to know where you stand on your 6-Lane giving? Hunting for a mission fund number? Please contact Beth Acuff, who handles local church receipts for our office. Call her at 1-800-535-4224 (478-738-0048), or email her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Write? Write his own songs?
Meat's crumbling ego had already accepted song writing wasn't his forte. His career as an actor and a singer was based on bringing the words and music he had been provided to life, imbuing them with sentiment and meaning. His job was to pull the audience into the experience, not to score the production. He admitted then (and still admits today) that he's not really a singer either; he's an actor who happens to sing. Getting a track "right" required multiple takes until he found the character, the persona who owned the song. Once he became the character, he understood the lyrics and knew if the music sounded "right." Like an editor with a manuscript, he had an instinct for what worked. He could
Write? Write his own songs?
Given his history as a control freak, one might think he'd have been all over that suggestion. Nope. Not so much. There was a certain logic behind writing his own songs seeing as how his former songwriter was suing his ass, ensuring Epic wanted nothing to do with him, and handing out hits like "Making Love Out of Nothing at All" to Air Supply and "Total Eclipse of the Heart" to Bonnie Tyler.
Meat went home and asked his wife what the hell he should do..
Leslie looked around the devastation caused by greed and, with a wee bit of anger, they wrote,
"The Wolf at Your Door."

lifetime pass providing free admission to the parks (and national forests and some other federal land agencies) for a mere $10. It is good for you and anyone with you for as long as you don't lose it, for the rest of your life if you can manage that! The minuscule price has been the same since 1994 but is going up to $80 for the same lifetime benefits at the end of the next month.
This is a pre-Trump price increase by the way. Congress, in its wisdom, decided on the price hike in the last session of 2016.
What struck me as we drove in and out of Yosemite and Inyo National Forest waving our passes was the response of the rangers. "Thank you! Thank you! Enjoy the park!"
My instinctive reaction was that we should be thanking them, rather than the other way around. But obviously some one has trained them in the political implications of making the cheap passes available to elders. Who votes in this country? Overwhelmingly, it is old people. Over 70 percent of eligible people over 60 turned out last November. The parks need defenders and supporters who vote. The Senior Pass helps build the support base for America's Best Idea.
Get one when you can. It will still be a good deal when the price goes up, but it is a phenomenal perk right now.

Permanent Canal Closures & Pumps
The Corps awarded the approximately $615 million contract to construct Permanent Canal Closures & Pumps (PCCP) at the mouths of the 17th Street, Orleans Avenue and London Avenue outfall canals on April 17, 2013 to PCCP Constructors JV. The PCCP will provide a permanent and more sustainable measure for reducing the risk of a 100-year level storm surge entering the outfall canals
Gulf Intracoastal Waterway West Closure Complex
The West Closure Complex in full form operating during Hurricane Isaac. Located approximately one half mile south of the confluence of the Harvey and Algiers canals on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, the approximately $1 billion project reduces the risk associated with storm surge for residences and businesses in three parishes on the west bank of the Mississippi River: Orleans, Jefferson and Plaquemines parishes.
Seabrook Floodgate Complex
Seabrook Floodgate Complex is one of the major components of the Greater New Orleans Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, New Orleans District. Finished in just two years, the $150-million plus project is located at the north end of the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal just south of Lake Pontchartrain and the Senator Ted Hickey Bridge. The structure works in tandem with the IHNC-Lake Borgne Surge Barrier to reduce the risk associated with a storm surge that has a one percent chance of occurring in any given year. Most recently, it helped prevent storm surge and flooding in New Orleans during Hurricane Isaac -- as the entire system worked as designed.
Inner Harbor Navigation Canal Surge Barrier
The 1.8-mile-long Inner Harbor Navigation Canal-Lake Borgne Surge Barrier is located at the confluence of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, about 12 miles east of downtown New Orleans. The surge barrier works in tandem with the Seabrook Floodgate Complex, which was built at the north end of the IHNC near Lake Pontchartrain. The projects reduce the risk associated with a storm surge that has a one percent change of occurring in any given year. Both are part of the $14.6 billion Hurricane and Storm Damage Risk Reduction System being built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The IHNC is also the largest design-build civil works project in the history of the U.S. Corps of Engineers. The entire structure is 25 and 26 feet above sea level with a 56-foot-wide vertical lift gate at Bayou Bienvenue.
Dredging the Atchafalaya River Bar Channel
Ensuring commercial shipping continues unrestricted in southeast Louisiana, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contracts dredges to keep navigation "lanes" open. The challenge is in keeping the river's navigable depth and width at authorized dimensions, a yearly focus for the corps. Recent operations on the Atchafalaya River saw the dredge Alaska working the Bar Channel. The authorized dimension for the navigation project is 20ft deep and a bottom width of 400ft.
Bonnet Carre' Spillway
The Bonnet Carré Spillway, part of the Mississippi River and Tributaries project (MR&T) is the southernmost floodway in the MR&T system. Located in St. Charles Parish, Louisiana, the spillway reduces risk for New Orleans and other downstream communities during major floods on the Mississippi River. This risk reduction is accomplished by diverting a portion of the floodwaters into Lake Pontchartrain and then into the Gulf of Mexico, bypassing New Orleans. This spillway was first opened during the flood of 1937, and nine times thereafter through 2011 to lower river stages at New Orleans.

If HMV dies, under 16s with no debit card...
will have fuck all access to physical albums if they don't have an indie record store, a parent up for ordering CD's online for them, or buy Amazon gift vouchers to use themselves. This is ignoring shit supermarket CD's.
I find it a bit worrying, of course most early teens these days are savvy enough to use spotify/illegally download/buy itunes vouchers. Yet I found before I was 16 and got a card, I was getting albums mostly from HMV using paper round money and exposure to bands from the internet/friends. Without it I wouldn't have really been able to get many CD's at all. Do you reckon if HMV dies, then only people older than 16 will be CD buyers?
So IF HMV ceased trading, and IF there isn't a record store locally...
and IF you don't have any parents, and IF you've no access to Amazon, and IF you can't get to a supermarket, would you find it harder to buy albums?
I'm gonna go with YES, but i wouldn't worry about it that much, your legs might drop off as well, and your arms might turn to rope, and the sky might burn, and little alien people might start ruling the universe, and someone might steal your hoverboard.
- Eugene_14 and WhiteLightWhiteCity this'd this
basically, yeah
maybe it was just me but I got into 'albums' as such due to a local HMV having non-chart music, fairly priced. Without it, I probably would only have had access to songs sent to me on MSN and albums ripped off friends. I turned 16 in 2007 so I'm not sure why I'm thinking about this. Just random woeful thought of the day.
I guess everyone just uses itunes vouchers these days....
I think by the time HMV/high street music eventually dies, people of all ages will have access to online bank payments
I was 13 when I got a bank account, and I could have used my card for online purchases at that point, but everyone was more suspicious of buying online in those days! I started buying music online when I was 15.
It is an interesting point, though. Do you mean specifically physical cds rather than digital downloads?
i work in HMV
the under 16s just buy badges, one direction t-shirts and Hunger Games guidebooks. no loss if we pop.
some 14 year-old tried to get a Smiths best-of the other day. told him to put it back, stop getting ideas above his station and pointed him to a badge that said 'keep calm and carry on all over your mum's tits'Si_Badvibes, littlebirds, and revgreen this'd this
- Pale-eyedBadger and littlebirds this'd this
My local HMV
doesn't sell CDs anymore.
you fucking serious?
ok I'm exaggerating
but the Canary Wharf store has the top 20 albums - Adele and the like. That's it - I'd guess about 1/10 of the store is Cds. And then a lot of DVDs and hardware. It's really fucking shit.
In the mid 90s I was in the Leeds store all the time - but it was expensive, yeah, and at that time (not sure about now) Leeds had a lot of cool indie shops. I always liked the Virgin Megastore there as well.
I buy 99% of my cds and vinyl online now. Some of those are from proper record shops however. With paypal and debit card yeah - to the OP.
Sorry to mix threads but if you buy in store at HMV the three
MBV remasters (as I did yesterday) you get them for £25 instead of £30 - yeah big saving etc everyone says, but all 3 for £25 was cheaper than any of the usual on line places yesterday. Yeah so just saying. I'm nearly 40 so I'd still like to be able to buy CDs on the spur of the moment for a few quid more than if I wait a few days to get them through the post.
Obviously HMV would be improved by less emphasis on crap ipod speaker docks, Angry Birds cuddle toys, ranges of mugs, chocolate bars at the tills, COOK BOOKS they had last time I went in Jesus, but nonetheless I'd be sad to see the old fella go.
I had a great
experience as a youth doing chores for my Mum so she'd let me go on Amazon marketplace and order a tenners worth of hip-hop cds each weekend. If the interest in music is there, they'll find a way. The existence of HMV has had 0% influence on my music buying habits for much of my life, other than the hassle I had recently when someone gave me and HMV voucher and I spent about an hour in the shop trying to find something I wanted that was sanely priced.
I went with Tom Waits' Small Change in mind and it was on sale for 13.99.
and the time
I wanted to buy 'Rollin'' by Limp Bizkit but some smartass in HMV figured I wasn't old enough for the Parental Advisory sticker so I went and bought it from the much less savvy/conscious Sainsburys instead
I've noticed a big change in prices in HMV recently- new release cds seem to be around the £9 mark (which is a totally reasonable price to pay for a cd in store, I think personally) and their '2 for £10' cd offer usually has some great stuff in it. I've been pleasantly surprised by it to be honest on recent visits. I'd hate to lose the experience of being able to walk into town and buy a new album.
So many memories
I suppose it's different now with kids being so tech savvy but back in my day (and I'm only 25) I got a great buzz of making the 15 minute walk to the centre of town to buy a release I was interested in. Great memories - buying 'Kid A' (without hearing any of it) with the last of my pocket money, forking out £15 on 'Is This It' based on the Last Nite video alone and STILL thinking it was a bargain and emptying my little purse change full of quid coins on the counter to buy 'The Queen Is Dead' and 'Meat Is Murder' for a fiver each having learnt about them from an NME retrospective.
I'll never forget the sigh the woman at the counter gave at me for counting out those coins on the desk with a queue behind me and me then walking home fairly embarassed, barely being able to wait and hear what everyone in NME had been raving about.
To this day, I swear to God I can remember going to a shop and buying 75% of my CD collection and the circumstances around it. Fuck, I can remember the date and even what I was wearing when I bought 'Is This It'. Not so much now that other things in life have occupied my thinking but those trips to HMV and the like, scraping together my pocket money and rushing home to hear what I'd forked out £15+ on will forever live on the memory.
It's such a shame that people can now hear 3 of the songs on YouTube and then just download it from iTunes (or other means) immediately. There's no fucking CEREMONY or excitement anymore about waiting and then appreciating.
to be honest
as soon as I got my debit card, I couldn't stop buying cheap second hand CD's off amazon but HMV still got the better of me every week after my Saturday shift at WH Smith. I'm the same though, I can remember nearly every single album order/purchase date of all the albums I've ever really cared about. I remember my first paycheck from WH Smith and immediately going online and ordering Funeral, Takk, OK Computer, Meat is Murder and .... Starsailor's On The Outside. Only one of those I don't own anymore.
I also remember finally getting a new PC early 2007 with a working disk drive, the first thing I thought was "yay I can get CD's again" and went to HMV straight after to buy Bloc Party's new album.
I love albums.

text: What is it that drives a person to stay with a job even when she feels she can never attain her dreams? Linda Johnson says that whenever times were daunting, God placed a person in her life to nudge her forward. She took a job as a letter carrier with the U.S. Postal Service in 1980 and tried hard to gain a job in postal management. She was turned down repeatedly, and it hurt. A recent story in The Tribune told that much, relating her words at an event to mark Women's History Month. She became assistant postmaster in Granger, then in 1989 became postmaster for Walkerton -- a job she's held ever since. At her low points, she says, "There would be someone there to lift me up." Like her fellow carriers. And managers who gave her temporary management roles and recommended her for promotions. And folks who worked with her in the "women's program" (which accepted anyone) that she ran for more than 140 local post offices, offering conferences on career development and tips on moving ahead in postal work. District coordinators would give her advice on getting ahead. And her close-knit family. She says she wouldn't have stuck with it if she didn't love the work so much: "I can interact with the public and do good service, putting a smile on people's faces when they get a letter from a grandbaby."Staff writer Joseph Dits: firstname.lastname@example.com (574) 235-6158

I never like when a great deal of emphasis is placed on beauty. I guess that's because I never thought of myself as beautiful, at least not on the outside. I can look at art and the magnificent creations in the world as beautiful. I can look at others and notice their beautiful features but never myself.
The more I read (Captivating) and the more I consider my own traits I'm coming to the realization that I have more beauty than I imagined. I know I have a kind, loving heart and I know that I'm receptive to the feelings of others and maybe, just maybe, there's more to me than my internal glow.
It's amazing when we think about how our body works – our heart knows to beat, our organs know how to function autonomously, and breathing is second nature. We are amazing, exquisite creatures! We think, we feel, we laugh, and we cry. Blood systematically flows through our bodies and our brain, arms, and legs work in coordination to move us to and fro. Even if you don't believe in God, we can agree that we are the most brilliant design of some higher power of some sort.
What's even more fascinating is that we are all the same yet so very different. I have my own unique DNA, fingerprints, looks, and personality. There is no one else on this earth that has the exact same qualities as me. And you too. You are an exceptional, incomparable, and matchless being for which there is no imitation. You are beautiful beyond compare. Really, no one can be compared to you because there is no one like you. You cannot be replicated.
Beautiful, unique, You.
Beautiful by design.

|View from the window of the clinic. Bukhara restaurant is directly across the street.
Monday, March 1, 2010
1:18—In the Ditmas Medical Clinic on Coney Island Avenue—in the waiting room. I decided to try and see Dr. Gujjar today—I'm overdue for a visit, and I want to ask him about my back. I could be here for two hours or more, easily: the usual "walk-in" system is really the only way you can make an appointment, unless you want to wait for three months. You walk in, say hello, and sit down and wait. I like Dr. Gujjar—he's friendly, down to earth, and not pretentious or arrogant like many doctors. The staff is also very nice. Everyone in here—the doctors, the staff, and all the patients (except for one), appear to be either Indian or Pakistani (or possibly Bengali, Afghani, or Turkish, who knows?). The waiting room is pretty small—maybe 20 seats—and the front window looks out onto Coney Island Avenue. A television is bolted onto the wall about 8 ft. high (so you can't turn it off!)—loud volume—tuned to CNN. No one is paying any attention to it except me: they just announced that some Republican creep is preventing the extension of unemployment benefits that would have continued until June! Rep. Jim Bunning—wait—could that possibly be Jim Bunning the major league pitcher? I think it is! Jesus! I used to have his baseball card way back in the 1950's—I think he struck out Ted Williams three times in one game...
1:48—Weird kind of poisonous headache. Number 51 cranks on, and hopefully will be coming to a merciful conclusion sometime later this week.
2:04—Staring listlessly out onto Coney Island Avenue: my eye is drawn to the strange facade of the Bukhara restaurant across the street—it looks like it could be an old movie palace…exotic somehow…unusual…I don't even know if Dr. Gujjar is in yet—he might not be...it looks like they're demolishing the building next to the Bukhara: another strange edifice—it looks almost Moorish.
2:54—Tortured by CNN: nothing but "terror" reports and pharmaceutical ads—relentless—pure, God-damn propaganda:
- Lipitor commercial
- Allstate commercial
- Killer-whale "tragedy" story
- "Smart people are putting their money in gold—where its safe!" commercial (!)
- Meineke Muffler commercial
- "Security Watch": Special Investigations Unit
3:11—Why do they have CNN on in the first place? The back is tightening up again. The mystery of Coney Island Avenue continues to unfold outside the window.

Skip to comments.Gov. Rick Perry to Join U.S. Rep. Tim Scott for Labor Day Town Hall Meeting
Posted on 08/30/2011 4:23:26 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat
Myrtle Beach on Monday, Sept. 5. Following the format of his previous town halls with presidential candidates, Rep. Scott will take questions from the live audience as well as from online Facebook followers, allowing as many voters as possible to ask Gov. Perry a question.
I am proud to welcome Gov. Perry to Myrtle Beach to meet our voters, said Rep. Scott. Since his announcement speech in Charleston just over two weeks ago, the governor has excited our electorate, and I look forward to continuing that conversation.
I am thankful to Rep. Scott for inviting me to participate in such an important conversation with the people of South Carolina, said Gov. Perry. Our country cannot afford four more years the current administrations irresponsible and devastating spending policies, and I look forward to sharing my plans to pull our economy out of this financial mess and get America working again.
The location within Myrtle Beach will be announced shortly. The Town Hall will begin at 10 am ET and will last for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Doors will open at 9 am, with seating on a first-come, first-served basis. Gov. Perry is the third candidate to participate in Rep. Tim Scotts First in the South Presidential Town Hall Series, which brings 2012 republican presidential candidates to South Carolina for a discussion with grassroots voters.
The series is cosponsored by the Berkeley County GOP, the Beaufort County GOP, the Carolina Patriots, the Charleston County Republican Party, the Charleston Tea Party, the Dorchester County Republican Party, the Georgetown County Republican Party, the Georgetown Patriots, the Goose Creek 9/12, the Horry County Republican Party, the Mount Pleasant 9/12, the Myrtle Beach Tea Party, and the Summerville 9/12.
Our country is ready for new leadership in the White House. Our Town Hall Series is one step in that direction, said Rep. Scott. South Carolina has chosen every Republican nominee since Ronald Reagan, so it is important that we get it right.
For more information, or to submit a question to be asked of Governor Perry, please visit:www.timstownhalls.com.
But it is nice to see at least one of the fine candidates we have working with Mr. Scott.
Again, I am not endorsing Rick....I am still open to most of our Republican candidates. I just wanted to give a heads up to everyone about this event.
Democrats aren't going to be targeting much of anything in SC. Scott doesn't have an announced opponent, or even a speculative one at this point.
Black Conservatives give lie to the canard we Conservatives are all racist and show other blacks they can escape the Liberal plantation.
Note also in the same vein how Liberals attack Palin, Bachmann, et. al., with a special venom despite Liberal claims they are champions of the advancement of women.
Both black and female Conservatives must be utterly destroyed as they represent a clear and present danger to the Liberal hegemony over those 2 groups.
WE know all about secession here in South Carolina Gov.
That is about right Robwin...but we are living truth that slays the sheer arrogance and mendacity of the left. The libtards, never had these kinds of problem with Black Republicans like Gen. Powell. After all, a statist is a statist is a statist, and these guys never upset their apple cart. BUT A REAL LIVING BREATHING BLACK CONSERVATIVE!!! You would think it was the 2nd coming and they were caught in a whorehouse...
I beleive Tim Scott was one of the few Republicans to vote against the debt hike. :-)
YOu seem to be lost again. That happens to you a lot, doesn't it. This is a thread about Rick Scott's labor day town hall, not a thread for you to spam with the exact same text you've put in other threads that were also not about that subject.
That 1993 letter was fully discussed in a thread that was actually about it. Posting it all over the place after it has already been exhaustively ridiculed is just annoying to those who want to use a thread to discuss the topic of the thread.
If you really think it's so important to repeat yourself, post it in a vanity and see where it gets you. Generate your own threads, don't hijack everybody else's threads.
Over-hyped, Under-vetted, the object of blind worship, pushing government health solutions on the citizens, seeking to take over transportation, a large government slush fund for promoting preferred businesses, willing to sell sensitive industries to China, with questionable ties to Muslims, promoting pro-choice candidates in 2008, and with dubious allegiances to other countries.
There are only two things Perry has going for him:
That was just two months after Clinton took office, 6 months before Hillary's congressional testimony and 8 months before a bill was introduced.
Anyone can read the letter.
He was doing the duty of the office to which he was elected. It was not advocacy or praise for what came out of the task force or the legislation in congress.
Which declared candidate do you support, grey?
Otherwise, tossup, Cain or Bachmann.
Let the RINOs get in the barrel and swallow this election.
I like Cain...private sector experience as an executive. Bachmann is great on issues, but I think we need an executive and/or governor in the White House. That was one big reason I supported Romney in the last cycle. Legislators usually don't make good Presidents.

Fun Monday - Memories of Mother
With Mother's Day this weekend, the topic came to me pretty easily, even if the subject might not (ooh, a mystery?). Anyway, for this week, let us all share some memories of good ol' mom - although I wouldn't call her old to her face. :)
I have lots of memories of my mother. They probably aren't the kind that you would think of. Great meals, lovely home, sitting on her lap as she read stories...
First of all, she was a mother of six. Though she didn't work outside the home (except for a brief period of time while pregnant with the last kid), there was usually an air of frazzled-ness about her.
Meals were whatever was inexpensive and what we would mostly eat. We loved the tuna on toast and turned up our noses at anything with mushrooms or tomatoes in it. By necessity, her cooking was dumbed down to please as many babyish palates as possible.
The lovely home was sort of a lost cause too. Too many dirty feet and careless tossings of clothing and toys, in spite of her best efforts. And her best efforts were pretty good. I remember her decorating our bedrooms and the seasonal decor of our livingroom. Spring and summer saw white (!) slipcovers on the chairs and couch and light floral curtains but the first nip in the air brought out the dark plaid curtains and brown slipcovers. Our house was never fancy - but it was comfortable and we loved her efforts.
Story time? Well, that was Dad's venue. I suspect that story time was when she would go pour herself a glass of wine and retreat to the bathroom for a hot bath or her bedroom for some quiet reading time. When Dad put us to bed, Mom was rarely in evidence. I think she might have had quite enough by the end of the day!
What I remember the most about my mom is what Dad calls her "enthusiasms." Endeavors that probably kept her sane.
My earliest memory is of her painting. The little house we lived in had a screened in porch that became her santuary. She'd set up her easel and canvas, squirt out her oils on a palate and paint. She painted some from her head and some from pictures. She did some pretty awesome paintings. One of my Aunt Jill was just gorgeous. And there was one of my brother John. And one of a man and his llama that she got out of a National Geographic magazine hung in our house for many, many years. Later, years later, John and I went up into the attic to get Christmas decorations down and found a bunch of her canvases. We spent some time up there, looking at each one and reminescing about her "painting phase." To this day, I can't smell turpentine without thinking of Mom creating art on the side porch.
Mom was also a great seamstress. This was one enthusiasm that lasted. She took sewing classes at Gilbergs and owned a lovely little Kenmore sewing machine. She made clothes and pjs and robes for all of the kids. I had some gorgeous little dresses (though at the time I wasn't as appreciative as I could have been). My brother Matt wore Mom's creations almost exclusively as a toddler. She even taught me and my friend Mandy the basics of sewing. Over a couple of weekends, we managed to turn out a couple of dresses and blouses that we actually wore. After a while, the sewing turned to home decorating, and eventually costuming. We had some of the BEST costumes as kids. When James joined the Young Actors Theatre, she began costuming plays. She continued sewing until her eyesight began to fail, and is looking forward to picking it back up when her eye procedures are finally done.
There have been other enthusiasms that she's developed. Ancestry was there for a bit. My grandmother started it and she picked it up. I don't know if she's still into that. Cleaning methods popped up for a bit. Relearning how to cook really well from the Food Network was one we ALL appreciated. We wait to see what the next one will be.
I suppose, with a mother like that, it's not surprising that I'm forever trying on different hobbies. Some fit quite well, others not so much. But like my mother before me, I expect my love of learning new things will stick with me for the rest of my life.

What an awesome mom! Doesn't sound like she was afraid to try her hand at anything... Has she tried skydiving yet? :)
Thanks for participating!

I think that the "love of learning" is one of the greatest gifts that anyone can give.
Thanks for reminding me of the matching dresses my mom used to make for my sister and me...I love them. My sister, who was 13 years older than me, was not so fond...lol.

We all excel in different areas. Your mom excels in her enthusiasms, which seem to be many. Interesting, my Dad is the one who read me bedtime stories too.

Sandy - I hope I can pass a love of learning to my son like my mom did for me.
Molly - My mom really did excel in everything she tried. She studied and practiced everything she tried her hand at.

I just saw sticker that reads: "I don't have "hobbies" I'm developing a robust Post-Apocalyptic skill set".
Sounds like your Mom!! :)

Great mother's day post. I was thrilled to see you mention tuna on toast. My mom would make that for my sister and I whenever my dad had to work late (cause he hated tuna on toast). It has always been comfort food to me. In fact, when I came home after giving birth to my daughter that's what she made me to eat. And it was as good as ever!

I wrote about my mama last year, I think. She had 8 children, no money, a very humble old house with an outdoor toilet until the mid 1950s.. I don't know how she did it.

AUDUSD has been trading sideways thesdays. It is reversed from around 0.8900 at the start of July, so we think that pair has stopped temporary in a corrective pattern within larger downtrend. We are tracking an incomplete impulsive, five wave decline in wave C that could fall down to 0.8500-0.8700 soon if we consider the idea of a completed flat correction in wave (4).

What is Flat Correction?
A Flat is a three-wave pattern labeled A-B-C that generally moves sideways. It is corrective, counter-trend and is a very common Elliott Wave Pattern.
Running Flat: Elliott Wave Pattern
- Structure is 3-3-5
- Wave B terminates well beyond the beginning of wave A as in an expanded flat
- Wave C fails to travel its full distance, falling short of the level at which wave A ended
- Appears in wave two or four in an impulse, wave B in an A-B-C, wave X in a double or triple zig-zag, or wave Y in a triple threes

For those who are looking to flex their baking skills and whip up something truly unique, Snowdon House's West Coast Bread mix is the perfect option. Inspired by traditional aboriginal practices, the baking mix puts a cultural twist on the process of baking soda bread.
Snowdon House's West Coast Bread mix is a dry mix made from flour, baking powder, Douglas fir tips and other all-natural ingredients. To prepare the soda bread, consumers simply mix the dry ingredients with a bottle of Snowdon House FirEssence, which is a sparkling, non-alcoholic beverage made from BC-grown Douglas Fir trees. The use of Douglas fir trees is inspired by the First Nations people of BC, who traditionally used the ingredient to create an all-natural tea.
