On the morning after RA3 was due, I found four emails from students in my inbox. All of them said essentially the same thing: that they posted RA3 on time (while it was still October 14), but that the blog incorrectly claimed that it had been posted on October 15th, a day late.
I believe you. Don't worry.
But here's what I suspect is happening: I bet WordPress thinks you live in a different timezone than you actually do. And fixing it is easy:
1. Go to the dashboard of your blog. (I usually go to wordpress.com > log in > My blogs > Blog Admin, but there are lots of ways to get there.)
2. From the dashboard screen, click "Settings" in the left column, toward the bottom.
3. On the settings screen, look for Timezone, and select "UTC-5" from the drop-down. (This means that you live five hours before Coordinated Universal Time, which is pretty much the same as Greenwich Mean Time, over in England.) (If you want to see people argue over details that you probably don't care about, check out the UTC talk page…. Gracious.)
You're done! Fixing this probably won't go back and fix the timestamp on your post (though it might–I'm not sure). But it should fix any future posts.
So why is this a problem all of a sudden, but not for previous projects? I suspect it's because you've never had a deadline close to midnight before, so it didn't matter. Here's how you can think about it:
Um, at least that's how I think it works. Feel free to contradict me. (Or praise my awesome skills in Paint.)

Ultra Thin Seiko Mini Quartz Clock Motor
Ultra Thin Seiko Mini Quartz Motor
Seiko Brand Clock Movement
We also carry Seiko's Ultra-Thin Clock Movement. This quartz clock movement features step second motion which is a 'start-stop-start' motion that precisely measures the time in one second intervals. Accurate to within +/- 15 seconds per month.
Please note: These clock motors are designed to drive clock hands no longer than 4 1/2 " inches.
|3 years
|Maximum Dial Thickness
|See Below
|Total Shaft Length
|See Below
|Shaft Diameter
|Chiming Melody Sound
|Case Size
|2-3/16"H x 2-3/16"W x 5/8"D
|Free Pair of Hands
|Hardware Included
Seiko Model = 304
Fits Dials up to 1/8 "
Seiko Model = 708 Seiko Model = 607
Fits Dials up to 1/4" Fits Dials up to 3/8 "
Seiko Model = 203
Fits Dials up to 5/8 "
Special Features
- Quartz Accuracy - Stabilized quartz crystal assures high accuracy to within ±15 seconds per month.
- Reliability - A minimum number of parts (17 in entire motor) reduces wear within the motor and assures trouble-free operation. The motor is completely enclosed in its case, so dust and dirt cannot get into the motor.
- Compact Size - The motor is approximately 2-1/8"x 2-1/8" x 1/2".
- Battery Life - The motor runs approximately two years on a fresh "AA" battery, not included.
- Step Second Motion - The second hand, if used, moves in exact one second steps.
These Seiko motors will operate a second hand, but second hands are considered optional. See the bottom of the motor page for the link to our selection of second hands. Seiko motors require a .034 - .035 diameter second hand bushing as shown below. This hole size is too large for many other motors..All models have a 5/16" shaft diameter so a 3/8" mounting hole is the correct size to drill in your case.

For many women, the mid- to late-forties is a time of rediscovering who they are and what they want from their lives. I've found that I've come to understand and respect my individual strengths and weaknesses, and am more secure with myself than ever before. Even though I've been dealing with rheumatoid arthritis for years, I finally feel like I have a handle on how to care for myself.
However, as amazing as this time of my life has been mentally and spiritually, physically it's been total chaos. The problem is menopause. I wake up in the middle of the night certain someone is trying to torture me with heat and realize that putting make-up on in the morning is a wasted effort because it will sweat away before I arrive at work. Despite a fairly healthy lifestyle, I now have more than a muffin top hanging over my pants. No matter what I do, the weight seems to keep piling up in my breasts and abdomen. It makes a gal ask, "Who does this body belong to?"
The time in a woman's life leading up to menopause (defined as 12 months without a menstrual period) can be marked by all kinds of symptoms related to changing hormone levels. To figure out what was going on with my body, I tackled the research on menopause just as I did when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. I visited website after website confirming that what seemed to be very abnormal is actually normal. But I discovered a problem. Many of the symptoms of menopause overlap with those of rheumatoid arthritis. Adding to the confusion is that many women may be changing RA medications as they prepare for menopause. When the symptoms overlap, it's not always clear what the cause is.
When I see my young female rheumatologist, she admits that menopause isn't her area of expertise. I'm left to wonder, is what I am experiencing a symptom of menopause or rheumatoid arthritis, and does it even matter? Below are just a few of the overlapping issues.
Weight gain
Up to 90 percent of women will gain 12 to 15 pounds between the ages of 45 and 55 as they head towards menopause, according to the site 34 Menopause Symptoms. While many rheumatologists such as my own claim that the use of biologics to treat rheumatoid arthritis doesn't cause weight gain, other experts disagree, and there is a lot of discussion about this in the patient community. I started a biologic just as my menopausal symptoms were beginning and put on 15 pounds almost immediately.
There are many possibilities for why women in their forties experience fatigue, and looking at lifestyle choices is always a good start. However, up to 80 percent of women heading into menopause experience this common symptom. Add in the intense fatigue caused by rheumatoid arthritis and you may have no other choice than to allow your body to sleep as long as needed.
Dry eyes
As hormones change during menopause, the result can be dry eyes that need to be treated. RA can also cause dry eyes, whether as a side effect of medications or as a symptom of the disease itself. Anyone diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis should also know that dry eyes can indicate a complication called Sjögren's syndrome.
Hair loss
This is one of the dreaded side effects of medications that treat rheumatoid arthritis. But the hormonal changes occurring with menopause can also cause hair loss.
Here are some ways to make sure you're distinguishing RA symptoms from those of menopause—and some strategies for weathering all the changes.
- Create a healthcare team. Include your OB/GYN in the conversation. An optometrist might be able to help with dry eyes and a dietitian could help with eating well for both RA and menopause. Keep everyone in the loop and be sure to set goals with your team.
- Do your research and ask questions. Make your appointment work for you. Come with a list of questions to ask, such as:
- Would the treatment be the same whether the cause was menopause or RA?
- Do I need additional lab work run to rule out other complications?
- What lifestyle changes can I make as a patient to better support my body as it makes the natural transition into menopause while also coping with a chronic illness?
- How can I coordinate discussion between my health-care providers to make sure I am being treated for all my conditions?
- Know your body well. You are the number-one expert when it comes to your body. If something doesn't feel right or you aren't being helped, speak up.

Surprise – It's a BOY!! Well, I am pretty sure the title of this post gave this away. Needless to say my husband and I are super excited to be adding a little Mister to the family – a bit of a shock to my side of the family which consists of all females, so my Dad is happy to no longer be outnumbered!
I'm sure I'm not alone, when it comes to being an expectant mother, to want to start creating a space for the newest addition to the family. My husband and I had two themes in mind (one for a boy and one for a girl) when it came to baby room decorating and to be honest it's nothing crazy creative. We simply wanted to fill the space with colour, with my husband being a teacher he is aware of the importance of colour and how it impacts a child's development, plus I am not a fan of the neutral theme popular now (this post explains why "My home is not like the others".)
When I was exploring online for inspiration I came across this GORGEOUS Children's Jungle Rug via Temple & Webster and the rest of the baby nursery theme fell into place. I instantly fell in love with the cute cartoon animals and the use of colour within the rug, I already have green black-out curtains in the room, so the pieces were starting to fall into place. After searching further around the Temple & Webster website I found more and more items to add to my wish list (and even more for my upcoming renovations, but that post is for another day).
Items on my Baby Boy Nursery Wishlist
Children's Jungle Rug
Grey Carrie Stroller Blanket
Green Little Ones Clothes Tree
Cubo Twin 2 Tier Shelf
Baby Elephant Wooden Animal
Keep an eye out for my upcoming Baby Nursery room reveal planned for May… with bub-bub due late July we still have a few items to purchase to finish off the entire room look. So watch this space…

Sierra Theaters is a locally owned, family business that operates Sierra Cinemas, The Del Oro Theatre, Sutton Cinemas, and The Nevada Theatre Film Series.
Mike Getz launched the Nevada Theatre Film Series in 1979, and he and Barbara Getz opened Sierra Cinemas in 1989. The success of the business in the 1990's enabled them to expand to open Sutton Cinemas and then in 2003, the Getz's purchased the Del Oro Theatre, a historic landmark in downtown Grass Valley.
Sierra Theaters is now operated by Mike and Barbara's daughter Azriel and son-in-law Michael LaMarca, and a team of over 40 staff members. Sierra Theaters is a true small town business committed to quality entertainment and to serving the community by employing youth. "We are teaching them important skills to take with them for their future careers," says Azriel. With a smile she adds, "For hundreds of young people this is their first job. It's fun to work with them."
Sierra Theaters has proudly supported KVMR for 30 years. "KVMR is the glue that holds our community together in so many ways," states Azriel.
2016 marked the opening of the area's first movie theatre cafe, The CineCafe, at Sierra Cinemas, featuring a variety of local beers on tap including Ol Republic, Crooked Lane, Sierra Nevada, 3 Forks and nice selection of wines including local favorite, Luchessi. Food menu includes Niman Ranch Pulled Pork Sandwiches, house made Organic Chili and other bites. "We want to make it easy for people to eat, drink and see a movie all in one place," says Azriel.
Every Wednesday in September is Ladies Night at Sierra Theaters, featuring $5 Admission to classic films along with food and drink specials. "Take advantage of this new offering," suggests Azriel. "It's such a fun place and way to get together with your girlfriends and enjoy an inexpensive evening," she adds enthusiastically.
Great films are coming to Sierra Theaters in the fall:
· Marshall - the story of Thurgood Marshall
· Professor Marsden & the Wonder Women
· Only the Brave
· Victoria & Abdul
….and the next Star Wars episode arriving in December!

The main news of Terra follows the ellipses . . .
UPDATE:::: 10h 53m EDT:::: Video from less than a block away from The Pulse as the shooting began
Wounded being carried away from the terror attack.
UPDATE:::: 10h 30m EDT:::: From Christal Hayes Orlando Sentinel 50 now reported dead from the terrorist attack at The Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida with 53 injured and taken to hospital. This attack is the deadliest mass shooting in US history.
Orlando Health has issued a tweet regarding those looking for family members who may be injured victims of this terror attack.
The telegraph is reporting this morning that a 29 year old United States citizen of Afghani descent, named Omar Mateen, opened fire with an AR-15 assault rifle killing 20 club patrons at the Pulse, a notable upscale gay club, in Orlando, Florida. Forty-two Human beings were injured and many of them rushed in critical condition to the Orlando Regional Medical Center. Local law enforcement in Orlando is working with the FBI to determine the motivation for this heinous attack which bears a striking resemblance to the attack on the Bataclan in Paris of 13 November 2015.
The attack began at 2h 2m EDT this morning when a call of shots fired at the club led to a police response. The attack became a hostage situation swiftly and law enforcement utilized an armored vehicle to attempt to bring the siege to an end at 5h 0m EDT when the terrorist was neutralized. An explosive device was found on the shooter.
Christal Hayes a breaking news reporter for the Orlando Sentinel is tweeting that hundreds of people have come out this morning to donate blood for the injured.
The White House has been briefed on the terrorist attack, the worst in the history of the United States since the aircraft bombings of 11 September 2001. Florida Governor Rick Scott has issued a statement on the FLGOV.COM website and is en route to Orlando at this hour. The Crown Fiery has issued this statement at this time: "No religion can be considered civilised if its adherents believe that murder and mayhem are central to its tenets. Those who believe radicalisation will bring their cause to power have deluded themselves into following the will of Shai'tan and can no longer be considered Human Beings."

Remember this plate from my thrifting goodies?
I like the wheat but to me it's more fallish not springy.
So . . .
here's what I did.
found a photo of my family
cut it in the shape of a circle
cut some leftover wedding scrapbook paper into a little bigger circle
taped it on
set it up in an easel
and that's what I needed that little bow for . . .

About me…
Just someone who's trying to live life, one day/one step/one breath at a time…
Someone who, here, now, in this moment, is the perfect expression of himself
My name is Carl Andrew Winemiller. I also have another name, my faerie name: Liea (pronounced: lye-ee-ay). Here in the default reality I go by Andy. Though for those who appreciate and understand what makes a faerie name different, you may feel free to call me by mine. The name Liea was given to me by one of my dearest friends. It means "Light that transforms."
My interests are multitude and varied but include the following, in no particular order:
camping, writing, cooking, poetry, coffee, tea, computers, tech geekery, beer, traveling, summer, going commando, kilts/sarongs, music, reading…and many more
What can one say about themself that isn't some sort of aggrandizement?

First, how many floors is between the "bottom" of the building and the "top" of the building??
Second, there should be an existing path for physical wires to get to the top floor as there are has to be connection to the basement usually to all floors. For instance, are there any phone lines on the top floor? IF so, they have to be connected to the phone company demarc, usually in the bottom floor or basement. Also, electricity and heating/cooling controls have to be ran from each floor to the basement/bottom floor.
So, my suggestion would be to have switches on each floor and connect them together physically and then trunk those 2 switches to one router.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Siemens (SIEGn.DE) finance chief Joe Kaeser has blasted the way joint venture Nokia Siemens Networks NOKI.UL (NSN) was handling planned job cuts in Germany and called on it to hold talks with labor.
"Siemens will not accept without a fuss that NSN simply disappears from Munich," Kaeser told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper in Siemens's home town.
"It is really time for NSN management and labor representatives to sit down and constructively seek economically sustainable solutions for the Munich site," he said in the interview published on Saturday.
NSN, in which Nokia NOK1V.HE holds 50 percent plus a "golden share", is run from Finland by Indian executive Rajeev Suri, who has called 3,000 job cuts in Germany unavoidable. NSN staff in Germany have reacted with outrage.
The telecoms equipment vendor has had to battle losses since it was founded in 2007 and is slogging through a price war with rising Chinese rivals such as Huawei (002502.SZ).
NSN is cutting 20,500 of its overall 74,000 jobs, and Kaeser acknowledged it had no choice but to consolidate. He said NSN's restructuring was not a matter of requiring more money because it already had enough capital and liquidity.

With Valentine's Day fast approaching, you are probably sitting there scratching your head trying to figure out the best possible gift for your loved one. If you are like most people, you may have some of the best Valentine's Day gifts in mind, but your wallet or bank account will not support the purchase of these items. You are not alone. Money is tight every where these days and it is very important to keep a budget in mind as you select what you are going to buy for your other half. As the saying goes, it is the thought that counts. Well, the good news is if you put in some thought to the best Valentine's Day gifts on a budget, the person that you are buying for will never know that you were keeping a check on the amount of money that you spent.
Gift One
There is something to be said about being nostalgic when it comes to Valentine's Day gifts. This will remind your favorite someone where you two started this incredible journey that you are on and how far you have come along the way. The first thing that you will need to do is to find a picture of the two of you from as close to the time that you first met as possible. You will also want a current photo of you and your sweetie for this gift. The optimum size for these photos will be 5 by 7. This is a size of picture that will make it easy to find a frame that can sit on a dresser or even on a desk at work. An inexpensive picture frame that folds and will hold two pictures can be picked up at your local dollar store. The frames that are available at these stores are surprisingly nice and will save you a lot of money on this Valentine's Day gift.
Gift Two
Does the the person in your life have a favorite treat or baked good that always brings a smile to their face? Of course they do and who would know what makes them feel happy then you. Use this inside knowledge to prepare this next one of the best Valentine's Day gifts on a budget. Get a recipe for whatever they favorite treat is. You may need to call their mom to get that favorite family recipe but it will be all worth the while. Prepare a batch of the treat and get ready to make a little goodie basket for your loved one. Now when you think of gift baskets, you may be thinking about the large price tag that comes with them. If you follow these tricks, you can get away with a fabulous Valentine's Day gift with out spending a fortune. A small basket at an even smaller price can usually be picked up at your local discount store. By keeping the size of the basket small, you will not have to spend a lot to fill it.
For the inside of the Valentine's Day gift basket of his favorite treat, you are going to need to head to that dollar store again. A solid color fabric napkin can be the filler for the treats. Arrange the treats inside the basket to make your honey's heart sing when they see it.
Gift Three
If you are one of those people who always seems to be able to express themselves perfectly with words, then this is the perfect choice of the best valentine's day gifts for you. Sit down at your computer and type out a letter or maybe even a poem that tells your perfect someone exactly what they mean to you. Choose a font that looks like handwriting. This will make your gift shine. You can pick up a pack of pretty paper that contains 5 to 10 sheets for next to nothing. Either a paper that has a beautiful border or maybe one that looks like old parchment would work great for this. Print your writing out on the paper you have purchased. Find in your keepsakes something that really symbolizes the two of you as a couple. It could be a flower that you both love or maybe even a ticket stub from a concert that you both attended. Place your letter in a frame with the keepsake on top of it but angled down in the corner so that your letter is readable. A Valentine's Day gift from the heart will mean more then anything all the money in the world could buy.
Gift Four
A bouquet of flowers may seem old fashioned and can be very expensive if you do not know how to choose the best bouquet. Everyone would love to get flowers for their Valentine's Day gift. It is just a universal symbol of the holiday. The trick to keeping this as a gift that will not break the bank is to stay away from the usual flowers. For those on a budget, roses will not be in your bouquet and that is ok. Look through what is available at your local florist on the online store that you will be using. There are always flowers that will run you less money, but make a beautiful floral arrangement. If your other half has a thing for daffodils, then look for a place that has them in expensive. You can also just focus on flowers that are in your partner's favorite colors. If you need to have them ordered online and delivered because you will be apart for the holidays, make sure to check different sites for free shipping offers. This is how to have the best Valentine's Day gifts on a budget.
The Finishing Touch
Many people may find away to spend less on the Valentine's Day gifts and end up wasting money on the wrapping paper and card to go with it. Stop! Do not waste all of your hard work. The first thing is that it is better to write something up on the computer and print it out rather then buying a store bought card to go with your best Valentine's Day gifts. The store bought cards never really say what you want to say any way. Inexpensive wrapping paper and gift bags can be had at the dollar store. It is very easy to make sure that you have the best Valentine's Day ever and still have money to spare at the end of the day.

First of all, many of the top Budapest attractions are free to visit, and even if an attraction is not free, it does not cost a dime to take a look at a famous building from the outside, right? Secondly, you can take a look at the well-known Budapest landmarks in various tours. Some tours advertise themselves as free Budapest tours (at the end of the tour you will be asked if you wish to tip the tour leader. Most do.)
Free attractions in Budapest
- Fisherman's Bastion (Halaszbastya) on the Castle Hill: the best views over the Pest side by day and night, free to walk on the ramparts in a Disney Castle like 'fortification'. You will read on Budapest forum and Budapest travel sites that some tourists paid for entering the Fisherman's Bastion: you only pay if you go up to the top of the turrets (extra 3 metre in height, but admittedly not really worth it if you are on a tight budget). But walking along the ramparts is free, and you will get amazing views from there too. During the winter season, from November to early March, the total entry is free for anybody visiting the Fisherman's Bastion (including the upper towers).
- Castle Hill, Budapest: it is free to enter the Castle District on top of the Castle Hill. The hillside is very green and shady, which is a relief on hot summer days in Budapest. You can walk about the woods, or take a look around the Buda Castle – for free.
- Buda Castle: the courtyards of the Buda Castle are not only free to visit, but can be visited any time (the gates of the courtyards are not closed for the night). You can see wonderful statues, fountains, and views over the city. Occasionally you can listen to street busker performances, or even overhear the music of a festival or fair (there are lots of festivals in the Buda Castle throughout the year with live shows, concerts, etc. The entrance fee to the fairs / festivals is usually very reasonable). Unfortunately, entering the 6 museums on the Buda Castle Hill is not free, but, honestly, very cheap. So if you feel tempted, go ahead and give a few hundred HUF away for the interesting displays.
- Central Market Hall, Budapest (Vasarcsarnok): free to enter, cheap to eat at
- Hungarian Parliament: the Parliament in Budapest was free to visit for EU tourists until Jan 2013. These days you can ask for a 50% discount (children tickets are also available), but it is not free any more. The Parliament is on Kossuth square but take a look at the nearby Szabadsag square too.
- St Stephen's Basilica – a magnificent cathedral in the heart of the city. Immense dome, 96 metre high (the highest building on the Pest side of the city along with the Parliament), beautiful interior, and the holy hand of the first Hungarian king. Free to enter.
- St Michael's Church by Vaci utca shopping street, downtown Budapest – fantastic main altar.
- Szabadsag Square: a 2 minute walk from the Hungarian Parliament, you can enter into a pleasant park: Szabadsag sqaure – nice buildings, like the nearby Bedo House (now the Hungarian Art Nouveau House), a cafe, a much disputed Soviet monument about Hungary's WW2 liberation, interactive fountains, a statue of Ronald Reagan in front of the US embassy. Have a free picnic and enjoy the free attractions around you.
- Margaret Island: parks and ruins in the city centre. Free to enter, walk, play etc. on the island. There is a small petting zoo on Margaret Island (ducks, peacocks, horses, etc.) open from April 15 to October 23. It's free to enter. (And on a hot day you can enjoy the cool waters in the outdoor pools of the Palatinus lido – 11 pools, entrance fee is about 10 euros)
- Heroes square, City Park: Millennial Monument with beautiful statues, and a huge green park with frequent summer events, walk by the Vajdahunyad castle at the artificial lake in the park (it's very cheap to enter the castle where currently the Agricultural Museum resides)
- Citadel on Gellert Hill, and the Statue of Liberty: nice green hillside, great views over the Pest side by day and night
- Gellert Statue and Water Fall on Gellert Hill – beautiful shady walk up to the statue of St Gerard, the first bishop of Hungary
- Cave Church, Gellert Hill: a small and cool church dug into the side of the Gellert Hill. Entrance is free (there is a donation box). The church belongs to the Pauline Fathers, a Hungarian order of the Roman Catholic Church
- Paris Courtyard, Budapest: a currently abandoned building with an amazing 19th century interior, one of the hidden gems in Budapest
- Chain Bridge and the Danube Promenade (including the famous 'Shoes' Holocaust monument)
- Andrassy Avenue in Budapest: like the Paris Champs Elysee, or La Rambla in Barcelona, or Unter den Linden in Berlin, but more modest, less shopping (at least between Oktogon Square and Heroes' Square). Budapest has Andrassy ut, a beautiful avenue built in the 19th century, just as most of the magnificent villas along the avenue lined with trees. The avenue runs from about Deak square to Heroes' square, and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
- Liberty Bridge, Budapest – spanning between the Central Market Hall in Budapest and Gellert Baths, the 19th century bridge is free to cross, and is beautiful in itself. Plus the views over the Gellert Hill, the riverside are really nice.
- Erzsebet Lookout Tower on Janos Hill
Free things to do in Budapest, Hungary
- Free Walking Tours in Budapest, Hungary (there are various free walking tours offered in the city of Budapest. Currently the most favoured on TripAdvisor is the one called TripToBudapest)
- Danube Carnival – an international folk dance festival on Vorosmarty square: lots of free folk dance shows in downtown Budapest (although there are several programmes where entrance fee is charged, most open air events on Vorosmarty square are free)
- Millenaris Picnic mid Jul to end of Aug in Millenaris Park on the Buda side.
- National Gallop on Heroes' Square: spectacular horse races and horse show on the Heroes' Square. Entries with seats are also available if you wish to enter the arena. Otherwise you can enjoy quite a few spectacles from the square.
- Terfilmzene Festival: open air cinema, various films throughout the summer
- Kapcsolat Festival: 1 day event with open air concerts
Free for All on special days (on Hungarian national holidays)
Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest: free visits on 15th March; 20th August; 23rd October
Hungarian National Gallery, Buda Castle: free visits on 15th March; 20th August; 23rd October
Hungarian National Museum: free visits on 15th March; 20th August; 23rd October
Museum of Hungarian Agriculture: free visits on 15th March; 20th August; 23rd October
Free for All on the Night of Museums
All museums in Budapest can be visited almost free of charge on the annual Night of Museums, which usually takes place on a day in June. For the actual date check the official website of Budapest Night of Museums (Muzeumok ejszakaja). The multipass of this nice summer museum festival enables you to enter various museums in Budapest for a few hundred forints (hence the 'almost free' category)
Free for EU citizens under 26:
Hungarian National Gallery: every 3rd Saturday of the month for visitors under 26 and for children (under 18) accompanied by two close relatives
Museum of Fine Arts: Every third Saturday of each month visitors under 26 and children under 18 with max. two accompanying adults

It turns out Olympians aren't just fitter than the rest of us—they're more financially savvy, too. That's according to official Team USA sponsor TD Ameritrade, which surveyed 254 Olympic athletes. Most of them said that they thought their athletic training contributed to their financial discipline.[In Pictures: 10 Questions That Will Help You Earn More Money]
Their answers also gave clues as to how the London Olympians are likely to spend sponsorship money and other related windfalls that come out of the 2012 Games. If they won the lottery—an event similar to some of their sponsorship deals—just three per cent of respondents said they would splurge. Instead, one in three said they would pay back loans and two in five said they would save or invest it. Almost two in 10 said they would give it away to charity or to friends and family.
The Olympians surveyed already have strong saving habits: More than half said they save money on a consistent, monthly basis through automated deposits, and almost seven in 10 said they are consciously saving for the future. Most said they are financially secure or stable, and don't need to turn to credit cards to cover costs.
The Olympians also revealed themselves to be a confident group, when it comes to both athletic competitions as well as financial goals. Almost all respondents with financial plans said they were confident they would meet their goals, and two-thirds described themselves as highly-confident. Most said they considered their financial planning skills to be above-average.
That doesn't mean they don't have regrets: Two-thirds of respondents said that they wish they had saved more money before the recession, and half said they wish they had "taken more responsibility" for managing their money. But they also are clear on their priorities: Just 9 per cent said they would have spent less on their training.
[Olympic Trial Athlete's Day Job: Accountant]
Olympic fencer Mariel Zagunis, who will compete in London and already holds two gold medals from Athens and Beijing, told TD Ameritrade, "Goal setting, belief in your ability to accomplish your goals, and a systematic, step-by-step plan to reach those goals are inherent parts of being successful, really in anything you do. In my case, that's fencing, but I employ the same strategy in many other aspects of my life, including my finances."
The TD Ameritrade survey suggests that Olympians are better-prepared than other celebrities to navigate their uneven earning spikes. Pop stars like Britney Spears and actors such as Nicolas Cage have famously made poor financial choices. Part of the problem seems to be that celebrities have a tendency to spend their windfalls instead of saving them for lower-earning periods, and they fail to anticipate those leaner times.
"The most common mistake that celebrities… make is ridiculously high spending in their newfound financial success," says Tim Maurer, coauthor of The Ultimate Financial Plan. Celebrities often expect their high earnings to continue, but in reality they often have short careers, marked by bursts of high income. That means they need to spend much more modestly than their last paycheck would allow in order to make that money last, says Maurer.
When Michael Phelps won eight gold medals in Beijing, he automatically earned $1 million for his accomplishments through his contract with Speedo, and his agent told the Wall Street Journal that he expects Phelps's performance in Beijing to earn him $100 million over the rest of his life. (He was already earning $3 million to $5 million a year from endorsements.)
[Managing Michael Phelps's Gold]
At the time, Alby Salaman, chair of Holland & Knight's private wealth services group for the mid-Atlantic region and lawyer to several NBA and NFL players, described what Phelps should do to protect his money. He said the first step is to hire the right people, including financial advisers, lawyers, accountants, and possibly an insurance agent, just in case an injury hurts his future earning power.
Then, Phelps should pay off any debt, and avoid taking on any new debt, said Salaman. Many celebrities run into trouble by taking on massive mortgages instead of purchasing homes with cash, for example.
Another risk for celebrities and Olympians, says Salaman, is that they are often approached by friends and family members who ask for money or for investments in various projects. And while it might be unromantic, Salaman recommends a pre-nuptial agreement for anyone going into a marriage with such significant amounts of cash.
Sounds like good advice for any of the stars that emerge out of the London Olympics, too.

Jeremy Clarkson has been a television presenter since 1988 when he started on the TV show Top Gear, which he is most well known for. Jeremy trained as a journalist, In 1984, Clarkson formed the Motoring Press Agency where he conducted road tests for newspapers and magazines. This led to him becoming a Top Gear presenter for the BBC. Jeremy Clarkson is best known for his humorous and opinionated presentation style.
During his time on Top Gear the show has received a number of complaints due to the style of Jeremy's presenting. Complaints range from sources such as, the media, political figures and the public. These complaints arise due to several reasons. Jeremy has a very different style to other BBC presenters and even his co-presenters. Jeremy expresses his opinion in a humorous way to try and connect the audience. He is very controversial in his style, almost arrogant. An example of this is when he received complaints after making a comment about lorry drivers, Jeremy said "Change gear, change gear, change gear, check mirror, murder a prostitute, change gear, change gear, murder. That's a lot of effort in a day." This comment says a lot about his presenting techniques, it supports his opinionated personality. He uses repetition to support his point. He says it in a very stressful moment of the show where he is struggling with a lorry yet he still feels the need to make such a comment. Here is the clip of the comment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1Tbv9cmV4U
The reason he feels the need to make controversial comments is because he has developed this presenting style through doing this and has gathered a unique audience through this. People choose to watch Jeremy because they expect to hear his opinions expressed with a sense of humour. Jeremy is not always controversial though, he displays a lot of passion through his work. He expresses his passion of cars and locations in different ways. He uses metaphors to exaggerate the parts of cars, he says "look at the exhaust pipe, its the same width as the channel tunnel" this creates a very visual experience for the viewer. He uses a language that isn't pretentious, its very much the language that the average person uses and can relate to. Using this language allows the viewer to feel engaged, they can fully understand what he is talking about. Its not just Jeremy's words that entice the viewer, his over all appearance can engage the audience. He dresses very 'normal' for his age, he knows he hasn't got super model looks and the audience value this, it means they don't feel threatened by his appearance. He is also very much a 'mans, man', although many fans are women the majority are men, this could be because of the stereotype that men like cars more than women but I think the main reason is down to Jeremy. His loud manner can be off putting and also his childish behaviour. He shows a clear love for his work, especially when testing cars, his enthusiasm shines through as he presents, he talks very quickly and loud, as he is in the moment and wants to express all he is thinking at the time. He makes large movements while making points to express further passion and opinion. An example of this is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svxRpqeqFRY
Jeremy can be very sarcastic when presenting, this adds humour and makes the scene shown engaging as the points he describes don't usually match the images accurately. Here is an example of Jeremy's sarcastic sense of humour: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAptCdalzug

Carmel, Monterey make their mark on fine dining
Used to be that the Carmel and Monterey dining scene was stable, if boring, but in the last year or so, new talent has invigorated the cooking, some noteworthy places have opened, and several established restaurants have expanded.
However, the big news is the debut of Restaurant 1833. Since its June opening, it has become the must-go-to place on the Monterey Peninsula. It's a restaurant that has it all, including an intriguing history back to the year 1833. It's run by a savvy and sophisticated management team and the food is approachable, appropriate for the setting and well crafted.
That's not all the news in Monterey. The Mucky Duck, an old-time bar that got into serious trouble and closed, has been reopened by the Buich brothers, whose family owns the Tadich Grill in San Francisco.
Plus, Cindy Pawlcyn has reinvigorated the dining options at the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Unfortunately you have to have a ticket to the Aquarium to dine there, but it's still great news if that's on your list of attractions to check out.
In Carmel-by-the-Sea, a town that seems to resist change and grow more charming, the cute La Bicyclette has expanded next door and now features a wood-fired oven and one of the best breakfasts around. Cantinetta Luca, the Italian restaurant a few doors away, last month opened the adjacent Salumeria.
On the high end, Aubergine in L'Auberge Carmel didn't have a chef last year when I did a Monterey roundup, but in January the owners pulled off a coup by hiring Justin Cogley, who spent four years at Charlie Trotter's in Chicago. Also in Carmel, the Rio Grill remodeled and updated the menu to honor its 27th anniversary.
Here's a closer look.
Restaurant 1833
Few, if any, restaurants in California can compete with the history of 1833, named after the date its adobe house was built by John Stokes, a deserter from the British navy who masqueraded for years as a pharmacist and physician.
In tongue-in-cheek fashion, the restaurant makes light of this historical nugget in its cocktail program, with small-batch artisanal spirits named Painkillers, Elixirs and the like. There's even an absinthe cart wheeled from table to table, filled with different brands of this spirit that was banned until a few years ago.
The rest of the building's history is referenced in other ways. In 1856 Stokes installed what is thought to be California's first kiln to bake bread and roast meats. That tradition is honored not only in the house-baked bread but also in such things as a whole roasted truffled chicken, or a lobe of foie gras.
In 1948, Martha Harriet Gragg, known as Hattie, who lived here at the time, died in her home. Her bedroom is now a dining room, and some claim her ghost still inhabits the space. In 1950, the home became a restaurant and for 30 years was Gallatin's; in 1996, it became Stokes Adobe.
This type of history offers the potential of turning the restaurant into a tourist trap. However, owners Dave Bernahl and Rob Weakley, best known for starting the Pebble Beach Food & Wine Classic, have turned the project into a labor of love.
They haven't scrimped on the interior, which features seven distinct rooms, including a bustling sun room, a library dining room and a mezzanine lined with curved banquettes overlooking a lounge with a handsome white onyx bar. The so-called governor's dining room pays homage to the fact that the building was the governor's residence when Monterey was the capital. There's a grand patio out front, and a 200-year-old oak tree.
The food keeps pace with the well-crafted interior, thanks to Levi Mezich, who has worked at some of the finest restaurants in New York, including Per Se, Daniel and Cafe Boulud.
While the food here is more casual, he puts his fine-dining experience to good use on such dishes as the warm goat cheese custard ($12) with beets that release bright red juices; a drizzle of herb oil; and toasted hazelnuts. There's also horseradish-crusted bone marrow ($15) served with two thick slices of brioche toast, and charred octopus ($13) with Marcona almonds, arugula and romesco.
Each dish has something that sets it apart: Parmesan crusted cod ($25) features cooked radishes; sturgeon ($25) is wrapped in bacon and served with black lentils; and a grilled veal chop ($34) is paired with sweetbreads and Castelvetrano olives.
Family-style main courses include a whole salt-crusted dourade ($46), a 32-ounce grilled bone-in rib eye ($70) and a whole roasted lobe of foie gras ($200), in addition to the whole roast chicken ($38) that comes out bronzed and redolent of earthy truffles.
Service is also caring and precise under Tobias Peach, whose last job was general manager of Fleur de Lys in Las Vegas. The attention to detail is evident at every turn - the heavy silver hand mirrors used as wine coasters for bottles purchased from the 1,000-plus bottle wine list, an oyster shell that snugly holds the cork, woven mats that keep the glasses and flatware from touching the bare wood tables, and even the black Converse tennis shoes worn by every black-shirted and jean-clad waiter. It all speaks to a keen sense of style.
500 Hartnell St., Monterey. (831) 643-1833 or restaurant1833.com. Dinner nightly. Full bar. Reservation and credit cards accepted.
The Mucky Duck
This once-popular bar was crippled by a shooting on the premises New Year's Day; that was followed by an alcohol violation, which ended up shuttering the place. The business was revived in July by brothers Anthony and Alex Buich. Anyone into culinary history will realize that's the name behind the Tadich Grill, with roots back to 1849; members of the Buich family have owned it since 1928.
The two brothers reportedly worked at the restaurant, and their experience has certainly influenced the menu in Monterey. While it feels more like a bar than a restaurant - there's even a dartboard in back - a few Tadich dining touches have been incorporated: The small open kitchen, presided over by Alex Buich, resides next to the bar, opposite a row of raised banquettes that feel like private rooms.
The menu also has a direct link to Tadich, with simple seafood and such items as Hangtown Fry ($11.95), the classic oyster and bacon omelet that was invented to appease high rollers during the Gold Rush and has been on the Tadich menu practically ever since.
I went to the Mucky Duck soon after it opened and business was slow, so time will tell how it settles into the community. If my meal was any indication, this may be the place to get local sad dabs ($12.95); they're sauteed, served with lots of lemon, rice and a vegetable.
The food is nothing fancy and kind of retro, but it's simple and satisfying. This is also a great place for mussels ($8.95) bathed in a white wine garlic sauce that has a hefty acidic kick; and fish and chips ($12.95) where the fillets of Pacific snapper are blanketed in a Sierra Nevada beer batter.
479 Alvarado St., Monterey. (831) 655-3031 or www.muckyduckmonterey.com. Open 11:30-midnight daily. Full bar.
Stone Creek Kitchen
If you're looking for provisions to take on the road, maybe to Point Lobos State Natural Preserve or anywhere along the county's 99 miles of coastline, I can't think of a better place to pick up provisions. This gourmet food and equipment store not only holds cooking classes but also has an impressive deli counter with sandwiches, salads and other prepared products.
One of my favorite sandwiches is the sopressata petite mini baguettes ($5.99) with thin slices of salami, manchego and pecorino cheeses, lettuce and an herbed mayonnaise. A Parisian ham stack ($7.99) features thin slices of meat sandwiched between raisin pecan bread with manchego cheese, red onions and chutney. Salads and side dishes are sold by the pound, including a variation on the homey three bean salad; this one includes at least five beans. For dessert, there are easy-to-tote cookies, tarts and even cheesecake.
It's a one-stop shop because there's also wine, soft drinks and everything you need to construct a substantial picnic. If you're eating in, check out the prepared main courses, including paella on Friday.
465 Canyon del Rey Blvd., Monterey. (831) 393-1042 or stonecreekkitchen.com. Open 10 am.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday, until 4 p.m. Saturday. (Open Sundays in November and December.)
La Bicyclette
This charming French Cafe in Carmel, a sister to the much more elaborate Casanova, has always had good, if somewhat dated, food served in Carmel-cute surroundings. At lunch it's a place for an excellent salad, sandwiches, cheese and Moretti beer; at dinner there's a fixed-price three-course menu.
However, about a year ago the restaurant stepped up the sophistication several notches by taking over the adjacent space and installing a wood oven. The new room has corner windows with village views, a handsome bar and a less themed but equally pleasant interior.
Diners can now get a really good pizza at both lunch and dinner, and the oven is also used to make house-baked bread and some main courses. My favorite time is morning, where you can get an Americano or espresso, excellent pastries and a delicious breakfast quiche ($6) or eggs baked in the wood oven ($11) with heirloom potatoes, house-made sausage patties and thick slices of rustic bread.
Dolores Street and Seventh Avenue, Carmel-by-the-Sea. (831) 622-9899 or labicycletterestaurant.com. Breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Main courses, $24-$37 (for three-course fixed price).
Rio Grill
Soon after moving from Dallas to San Francisco, I discovered Rio Grill and was impressed by its Southwestern proclivities. Through the decades the interior became a little shopworn and the menu strayed from the theme, but recently, to celebrate the restaurant's 27th anniversary, the owners remodeled and in April refocused the menu. The food produced by executive chef Cy Yontz, who worked with Mark Miller at his groundbreaking Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe, N.M., is called "creative regional California cuisine," but has strong Latin influences.
Yontz serves a trio of ceviches ($13.95) from Honduras, Peru and Ecuador, and a dinner-size mahi mahi tostada ($24). He also offers interesting interpretations of empanadas ($8.75) made with smoked tri-tip, Hatch green chiles and avocado crema. His grilled flatbread ($8) is topped with smoked chile and chickpea puree, tapenade and Mexican cotija.
You can also get such dishes as pasta with buffalo meat Bolognese and asiago ($19.95) or a house-smoked half chicken ($20.95) with smoked chile butter.
The restaurant also reinvigorated its cocktail program, so expect to find some creative combinations, with some drinks infused with jalapeno and the like.
101 Crossroads Blvd., Carmel. (831) 625-5436 or riogrill.com. Open continuously for lunch and dinner daily. Full bar. Reservations accepted. Most dinner main courses, $20-$25.
This 12-table restaurant in the L'Auberge Carmel hotel is now under chef de cuisine Justin Cogley, who arrived in January from Chicago, where he had been chef de cuisine at Charlie Trotter's and executive sous chef at the Elysian Hotel.
This is without a doubt Carmel's most upscale restaurant featuring a locally sourced menu. The four-course fixed-price dinner is $89; an additional $75 brings matching wines assembled from the hotel's 4,500-bottle cellar, with special emphasis on producers from Monterey, California and France.
There are choices in each menu category, with starters like herb-marinated sockeye salmon sprinkled with dill pollen and delicate herbs; Monterey Bay abalone with a lobster lettuce sauce and braised romaine; and a land-and-sea interpretation of English peas, bone marrow and smoked trout roe; or Japanese hamachi with mustard greens, oysters and fried pig tails.
It's truly a memorable meal for that Carmel special occasion, but for a real extravaganza Cogley crafts an eight-course spontaneous menu for $125. For this, the menu lists single ingredients used to construct the plates, such as sea urchin, lardo, Wagyu beef, rhubarb, speculoos (a short-crust biscuit) and araguani (a dark chocolate). The sommelier wine pairings are an added $110.
Monte Verde Street and Seventh Avenue, Carmel-by-the-Sea. (831) 624-8578 or laubergecarmel.com. Dinner nightly. Full bar. Reservations and credit cards accepted. Fixed-price menu, $89-$125.
Cantinetta Luca and Salumeria Luca
Opened in 2006, Cantinetta Luca quickly became the best place to go for casual, well-prepared Italian-inspired food. Chef Jason Balestrieri offers all the right things - burrata cheese ($9), arancini ($6), excellent pizza ($13-$16), house-made pastas and beautifully roasted meats and fish ($22-$29).
One of the chef's main loves is salumi. In fact, beside the open kitchen he has a salumi room, which led to his next big idea.
In August, the restaurant expanded next door with Salumeria Luca, a takeout deli and bakery. As with the restaurant, the offerings change seasonally, but now Balestrieri has a venue to sell his prosciutto, house-made cheeses and other handiwork. The restaurant also offers grilled panini and other items that can be taken away for a picnic.
In addition, you can buy pizza dough, olive oils, pasta sauce and pastas, and even some hand-cut steaks.
Dolores Street, between Ocean and Seventh avenues, Carmel-by-the-Sea. (831) 625-6500 or cantinettaluca.com. Restaurant hours: Lunch Friday-Saturday; dinner nightly. Full bar. Salumeria: 11 a.m.-8 p.m. daily.

The Bean Team - 2012
May Your Blessings Outnumber
The Shamrocks That Grow
And Trouble Avoid You
Wherever You Go
I think our team showed up really well in the sea of orange! The kids looked very cute in their little shirts. We missed Peyton very much who was sick and had to stay home with my brother.
We ended up being really lucky to get nice weather for the walk. All day Saturday was cold and raw and then on Sunday morning the sun came out just in time for the Boston Walk. It was in the 50s and we were warm enough without jackets which worked out well. Soon after the walk was over the sun went away and it got cold! All four years that we have participated in the Boston MS Walk the weather has cooperated. So thankful for that.
We continue to fundraise but at this time The Bean Team has raised:
and I have raised:
I'm so proud that after four years we are still able to raise an amazing amount of money! Also I'm currently fundraising for the MS Challenge Walk so I had to balance my fundraising between the two events.
Just as a reminder here is what we have raised each year:
2011 $14,470
2010 $10,920
2009 $6,275
In total for the four years we have raised $39,347!!!!! This is even more amazing b/c this is all private donations. We do not have any corporate or "matching" donations! This is all from the generous friends and family members who donate.

The Swiss National Bank (SNB) Chairman Thomas Jordan said in a press conference on Thursday that the central bank would intervene in the foreign exchange market if needed. He pointed out that the franc remained significantly overvalued.
Jordan noted that the Swiss economy was expanding moderately this year.
The SNB chairman also said that the SNB would monitor the results of the referendum on Britain's membership in the European Union, and it would act if needed.
"Next week's UK referendum on whether to remain in the EU may cause uncertainty and turbulence to increase. We will be monitoring the situation closely and will take measures if required," Jordan noted.

Here's the Nonsense: The First Amendment is fine. Some people have become too offensive with their rhetoric and it's time to have the government force them to stop saying such offensive things.
Here's the Horse Sense: America's founders fought and died for the right to say whatever they chose. They felt it more important to allow a person to speak their mind and offend someone than to shut them down and take away their basic freedom of speech. They knew that without freedom of speech that freedoms are lost and never realized.
NYMag.com is reporting on a Pew poll that 40% of Millenials are okay with the government banning offensive speech. The Millenials clearly show no knowledge or forethought in coming to that conclusion. They have no idea what fulfillment of that view will mean to their freedom. But there's something far more important that this poll exposes.
To think it's okay to ban offensive speech assumes that you will always be the arbiter of what is offensive. What the Millennials don't think about is what happens when the government comes under control of people who think what the Millennials say, think, or believe is offensive. Then, suddenly, they are on the receiving end. What was once okay in their minds (banning what others said that they disagreed with) suddenly becomes a horror story when they realize that they can no longer express themselves the way they once did. The government that they thought was their friend becomes their slave master.
Millennials (18-34 year olds) will determine the future of your children and grandchildren. They are the future, even though they are ignorant about the lessons of history. They will determine the freedom or slavery that Americans will have, even though they don't understand they are destroying the First Amendment rights that have given all of us the freedom we have enjoyed for over two centuries.
But those who think the government should control speech don't realize that when that happens the lives they enjoy in America today will never be the same.
Half of these Millennials aren't even adults. You may argue with that statement saying that they're 18 and older so they're all adults. I'd argue not only that science has proved that the human brain isn't mature until well into your 20s, which means that if they're adults it's certainly not due to maturity of their brains, only due to an arbitrary age determined by people as worthy of being called adult.
And it could also be argued that our own government has established laws under Obamacare that tell us they are considered children until they are 27. Considering the ridiculous and often horrendous things students are taught and indoctrinated with in our schools, maybe it would be wise to consider changing voting age to at least 27 so they've had a little time to mature (In fact, 35 might be even better so they have some life experience under their belt.).
But, while the lack of maturity plagues our society today, I have gotten away from the main point of what I see in this poll. The fact is that while the result being focused on in this poll is important, what is even more interesting is something that is glaring in the results and should teach us about our society. Look at this chart:
Notice that while 40% of Millennials support government controlled speech, 27% of Gen Xers (35-50 years old) support it, 24% of Baby Boomers (51-69 years old) support it, but only 12% of the Silent generation (70-87 years old) support it.
That last number may be the most significant in the poll. The Silent generation have 88% who are against the government controlling speech.
Why is that significant? Because the Silent generation are the last people who were alive during World War II. They are the last people who could truly understand what it's like to live through the horrors of the Nazi regime. And that life experience would shape more clearly a person's views about freedom than the rest of us could understand. (Yes, there have been other terrible governments since that time, but none that have caused a war so big that a world war was fought to stop the atrocities from spreading throughout the world.)
Since that time, those of us who are younger have lived at a distance from what happened. Some of us, like myself, had parents who served in the military during World War II. For others it was grandparents or even great grandparents. And as each generation has become further removed from what happened our society has forgotten more and more of the atrocities and the cost paid to maintain freedom in the world. Add to that our educational system has taught less and less about World War II and students know little, if anything about what happened, why it happened, and why it is important to make sure it never happens again. Not knowing and understanding history is a curse that causes us to repeat it.
I've had the honor and privilege of meeting Nazi concentration camp survivors and hearing from them exactly what they went through. I've heard the stories of the soldiers who liberated the concentration camps and the horrors they found. And I go out of my way to read at least one or two books every year about what happened because it is so important that we understand and don't forget it.
Why am I addressing this poll in light of World War II? Because what happened in that time has a great chance of happening again if we don't remember it, learn from it, and fight to make sure it doesn't. And the loss of our First Amendment rights is the cornerstone of protection from that happening.
Today we see a growing acceptance of foolish thought that says "you shouldn't have the right to offend me." Unlike our country's founders who fought and died for the right to be offended, today more and more people wear their feelings on their sleeve and are more worried about hurt feelings than about freedom.
Whatever happened to teaching our children that sticks and stones can break our bones but words can never hurt me?
Certainly we don't want to offend people intentionally. And we want to teach our children to be respectful, even of those with differing ideas and beliefs. But when it comes down to it, the freedom to say what you believe is essential to a free society, even if it offends someone. Without freedom of speech, freedom is gone.
Many conservatives think we are in danger of losing our First Amendment rights, especially that of free speech. I've written and spoken many times about not just the threat of losing those rights, but the fact that they are already lost.
Sure, you can still say what you think about many things in many places. But if push comes to shove and you end up in court, don't bank on a defense based on the Constitution being ruled in your favor. The Supreme Court has already ruled against supporting the First Amendment, even though they'd not say it in those words. But if push comes to shove and you end up in court, because we've seen the Supreme Court not uphold the First Amendment rights of citizens, there's no guarantee how the court will rule on any future First Amendment cases.
To make sure you don't get court protection, a large number of Americans are now lining up to agree that the government should abandon the First Amendment take away your right to say what you think. We are currently seeing many examples of this on college campuses in protests and classrooms, along with media figures promoting this idea, too.
You may think that a new president will fix all of these types of problems. But that won't happen no matter who the new president is. The problem is in the American people.
The American people aren't involved in our government, even though our founders created our nation to be controlled by the citizens, not a group of self-proclaimed elites in Washington. We have allowed these misfits to take over our government (and I'm speaking of those in both parties, not just Democrats). We've also forsaken our responsibility to raise our children to understand how our government works, what their responsibilities are, and that they must be involved and hold politicians accountable or our nation will fail.
Today we have foolish, immature and uneducated children throughout our society at all ages, not just those who are legally still of an age considered to be pre-adult. They have no idea what's happening in our government or that our nation is about to collapse. They are more concerned with self than with anything else.
Instead of putting others first, they have learned to put themselves first and the result is going to be an America under complete control of the progressive communists. Freedom will be redefined to be what the government wants and American citizens will ignorantly accept it because they won't have any knowledge of how and why America was created or what has made America exceptional above all other nations on earth.
It's time that people with the mindset exposed in this poll be awakened with a harsh dose of reality to get them on track to support America.
There are far too many people agreeing with them to think that America's future is bright unless a change occurs very quickly. Those who do understand need to be educating those around them. Knowledge is our best weapon to take America back. But if we don't let others know what is happening and why it's important, the American voters won't have the knowledge to make the decisions necessary to elect the people we need to save our country.
The Horse Sense Blog compares the nonsense in today's news with good ol' fashioned horse sense
"…I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve.… It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings." - Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775

First Amendment Free Speech Going, Going, Gone
Posted by Doug Johnson at 3:40 PM


text:
A collective shudder is running through Australias rural areas following the announcement that the Government will review the Rural Financial Counsellors program.
In recognition of the drought and other market issues facing the farm sector, as Minister I announced in July last year 17 additional full-time counsellors. This was gratefully welcomed by farmers and rural communities around Australia.
This is the worst possible time to be placing doubt over the service and it follows the Governments failure to deliver on a key aspect of its drought relief package.
The review certainly was not talked about prior to the election and will be a surprise to farmers and rural communities more generally adding to the uncertainty that the Government may adopt the recommendation by the Commission of Audit, that rural financial counsellors be abolished.
The review will also be another surprise for State governments, which partner with the Commonwealth to deliver these important services.
Barnaby Joyce suggests he can do nothing in agriculture until the completion of his White Paper yet when it comes to threats and cuts, there appears to be no need for delay.
The review of the Rural Counselling program at this time is cruel and insensitive and follows a range of new taxes and cuts which will particularly hit rural communities.
