Good quality and low price.
Posted by supplementknowledge on Jun 23, 2015
I use Vitamin C all year round to reduce risk of getting a cold, for its antioxidant properties and as absorption enhancer with my joint protection stack (glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM) or with zinc or iron.I prefer Now Foods, C-1000, with Rose Hips & Bioflavonoids, 250 Tablets because it is blended with Rose Hips and Bioflavonoids, which enhance absorption of vitamin C and because it has very good price. I use one or two tablets per day. Easy to swallow tablets. For more reviews click on my username! Let me know if this review was helpful by pressing the 'yes' button.
Vitamin C, Can't Do Without It!
Posted by Reviewer2925093 on Oct 18, 2009
Vitamin C is for your whole body. It takes care of you when you have a cold,and many other problems, even used in cnacer treatments. This product is good because it is easy to swollow. I like the shape of the tablets.
I love it very very much
Posted by Miniiessy on Jul 24, 2012
This is one of the best Vitamin C that I ever eat. It is very good price. Reduce allergies and colds significantly. It also keeps my gums healthy. People with lack of Vitamin C often develop black, swollen gums otherwise known as scurvy. I take one tablet per day. I love it too much.
Vitamin C with Bioflavanoids and Rose Hips Guarantees absorption.
Posted by affinitywellness on Apr 11, 2012
This great product packs a punch with rose-hips and bioflavanoids to enhance absorption and utilisation in the body. Personally I need to take in high doses of vitamin C due to a fructose malabsorption issue which leaves me with a limited number of fruits and vegetables that I can actually consume. I suffered from scurvy as a child due to this issue. Getting my vitamin C in a 1000 dose daily is great, it's just the right amount and whilst the tablets are probably bigger than I'd like there doesn't seem to be any other product with the bioflavanoid and rose-hips support that this one provides, it also contains no sugars so a sensitive system like mine can handle it. Now Foods is one of the cheaper brands so you definitely get a load of bang for your buck! I haven't been ill with and cold or flu since taking this product and I personally have used it for over a year.
C-1000 (Now Foods)
Posted by Reviewer2036525 on Jan 20, 2009
I have used this brand of C of several years now. I often take 2 before eating out to prevent a reaction from the foods eaten.
A really good, high dose, instant release C
Posted by ReaCovery on Nov 20, 2015
If I wasn't now taking sustained release vitamin C I would still be taking this one. Vitamin C is water soluble and is excreted from the body within 2 - 3 hours. Its also doubtful that the entire 1000mg of the tablet actually gets absorbed. So to keep the level of vitamin C in the body stable through the day, these need to be taken more often and perhaps broken in half. I take vitamin C for its potential to lower cortisol along with its immune enhancing properties, so I need to keep it stable in my blood. For anyone else, these are probably great, I give them to my daughter. She is young and much more healthy than me.
Now Products
Posted by Reviewer2000362 on Mar 25, 2007
The Now products are allergy-friendly and always a competetive price. This Vitamin C has bioflavanoids and rose hips, so I don't need to buy those separately!
Excellent & easy to swallow!
Posted by Reviewer1772233 on Jun 09, 2009
Although this C-1000 tablet is rather large, it is not difficult to swallow. I have less colds, sinus infections, etc. when I take this product.
The Best Vitamin C Ever!
Posted by 5133608655797381234 on Oct 29, 2013
Greeting from Malaysai! We love this product with all of our heart. Thanks NOW FOODS!

Rock the Socks a worthy effort to support
In light of the ongoing frigid weather, the timing couldn't be better for the Rock the Socks event set for Thursday.
The brainchild of Marquette Alternative High School students, Rock the Socks involves the collection of warm winter socks to help raise awareness of the challenge area homeless people face in winter.
A sock drive was decided upon because the students discovered there are collections for a variety of items vital to needy residents of the region – including for food, hats, mittens and coats – but nothing that centers on socks, alternative high school English teacher Cindy DePetro said.
In an effort to expand the success of the collection, which has a goal of 200 pairs of socks, the students decided to see if any other high schools in the area would like to join in, and did they ever. All the schools contacted – including Marquette Senior High School, Westwood High School, Gwinn High School, North Star Academy, Sandy Knoll Elementary School, Superior Hills Elementary School, Negaunee High School and Ishpeming High School – jumped right into the effort with both feet.
Collection boxes will be placed in all the aforementioned schools near the administrative offices, as well as at Hot Plate in downtown Marquette, all day Thursday for students and members of the public to donate a new pair of winter socks.
The alternative high school students welcomed the participation of other high schools, not only to boost the collection total by making it more convenient for people to drop off socks but also to show they have common goals with students at mainstream high schools.
In fact, DePetro said the sock collection is just one of many community minded efforts her students have undertaken, including a well-attended march against bullying that drew area community leaders and students.
Once all the socks are gathered together, youth sizes will be donated to elementary schools for distribution to kids in need and the adult sizes will be donated to St. Vincent DePaul and residents of the Janzen House.
So while you are keeping your feet, toes and the rest of you warm during this mid-winter freeze, perhaps picking up a few pairs of new socks to donate to Rock the Socks will help those in need stay warm, as well.

Baseball math can be so confusing.
Forget the intricacies of sabermetrics, this is the sport where half is 40%.
The game's supposed second half begins today — no matter that 60% of the season was played before this week's All-Star break.
We're less than two weeks from the trading deadline and 72 days from a final day of the season that includes such potential showdowns as Red Sox-Orioles, Pirates-Reds and Rockies-Dodgers.
Sixteen teams are within five games of a playoff berth, and a collection of talented young stars continues to grab more of the major league spotlight.
USA TODAY Sports' Paul White looks at the most compelling story lines of the rest of the season:
Orioles' Chris Davis says he's chasing a record
Baltimore Orioles slugger Chris Davis already has made this more than the "he's on pace for" home run countdown that we haven't experienced for more than a decade.
Says Davis, who leads the majors with 37 homers: "In my opinion, 61 is the record, and I think most fans agree with me about that."
Without a scientific poll on that observation, let's just agree that most fans think Davis has a far better chance of reaching the 61 Roger Maris hit in 1961 than the 73 Barry Bonds hit in 2001.
The closest anyone has come to either since '01 was Ryan Howard's 58 in 2006. That would have been quite the quest — and letdown — had Howard and the baseball world decided to revert to Maris' pre-PED era 61.
Howard had 56 with 21 games to go. He didn't make it to 61 — and without any pressure from a self-proclaimed benchmark.
The point is that what history has taught in home run races that fall short of the super-human category, the protagonists tend to fade. It's a long season and it's an oppressive and sapping heat and humidity that can hang over Baltimore this time of year. That can outweigh even the bandbox-ballpark effect.
Davis comes out of the break with 37 homers in 96 games, a pace that would take him to 62. There are more specific ways to look at the probability, such as studying the potential plate appearances for Davis, who bats fifth in the lineup but could be moved up to, say, third to squeeze out a few more swings. But suffice it to say he's no sure thing.
Davis tied Reggie Jackson's 1969 mark for most homers by the All-Star break. Jackson in '69 probably doesn't register on your recollection of great slugging seasons. He finished with 47, playing all but nine games the rest of the year.
Maris had 40 after the Yankees' first 96 games in 1961 (and Mickey Mantle had 38 on his way to 56).
Bottom line is that Davis faces a difficult quest for 61, let alone the five Mark McGwire-Sammy Sosa entries on the single-season list.
Maybe the more fitting race for this era, when the romanticism of home run races of a half-century ago has been replaced by inevitable questions about any spectacular feats, is whether Davis can get to 61 before we learn the names of the players on the MLB punishment list from the Biogenesis investigation — and which attracts more attention.
The real Puig debate
Even the Los Angeles Dodgers reluctant superstar seemed a bit embarrassed as the crescendo built over the possible All-Star coronation of a guy with 38 games in the majors.
The potential to play two or three innings on a Tuesday in July could look almost meaningless by the time the Cuban sensation is done with his rookie season.
At this point, it's difficult — .391 batting average or not — to make a case for Puig in the National League rookie of the year race over pitchers who have been excelling all season, such as the St.Louis Cardinals' Shelby Miller, Miami Marlins All-Star Jose Fernandez and Puig's teammate Hyun-Jin Ryu.
Of course, if Puig keeps up anything close to his performance so far, he'll be right there with 2012 rookie stars Mike Trout and Bryce Harper.
And, yes, when Harper discussed at this week's All-Star Game his role among the young stars, Puig was the name he mentioned right after himself, Trout and Baltimore's Manny Machado.
But all of that still could pale when Puig's full 2013 contribution is assessed.
All-Star? Rookie of the year? How about MVP?
When Puig showed up in the Dodgers clubhouse June3, they were 23-32 and last in the NL West and missing outfielders Matt Kemp and Carl Crawford. They are 24-15 since — the best record in the majors over that time — and still without Kemp, who returned from and went back on the disabled list. Yet they've have made up six games of the 8½-game deficit on the first-place Arizona Diamondbacks.
Puig's athletic, often eye-popping game remains flawed. He often runs the bases recklessly. He seems to never have met a throw from the outfield he doesn't want to attempt.
Conventional wisdom? This is an unconventional talent. Considering some of the other contracts the Dodgers have doled out recently, Puig's seven-year, $42million deal ($7.5million in 2018, the final year, is the high point) could be the best move this side of … well, Puig's contract clause that allows him to opt into the MLB arbitration system after three years of service time.
Damned Yankees
One of the first half's prime story lines was summed up when Robinson Cano limped off the field during the first inning of the All-Star Game.
That he was deemed fine and ready to play today against Boston jibes with the second-half theme of the team that might actually merit the abundance of attention it has received.
No team has made do with a smaller portion of what it expected to have — missing Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson for all or most of the season so far — and remained a viable playoff possibility.
Consider the added drama with Rodriguez — postseason benching, subsequent hip surgery, links to the Biogenesis investigation and even a little smack talk from general manager Brian Cashman. Add the setbacks in Jeter's rehab from a broken ankle, the incident that since has had a palpable effect on the confidence in the clubhouse and the tenor of the fans.
Jeter is back. Rodriguez is scheduled to return Monday. Teixeira won't play again this season, but Granderson could return in early August. Oh, and there's always what Cashman might have up his sleeve at the trading deadline.
The reinforcements indeed are rolling in — Jeter and Rodriguez have rehabbed for the minor league team in Moosic, Pa., called the RailRiders.
But these are the 2013 versions.
Rodriguez's hip needs to have been repaired better than his image to prove there was a reason behind his three-singles-in-25-at-bats playoff performance.
Jeter has made a late-career habit of defying skeptics — note last year's .316 average and AL-leading 216 hits — but he is 39, had setbacks with the ankle and couldn't get through one game without tweaking a thigh muscle.
Still, it's hardly a reach to say the reinforcements improve the Yankees, who rank last in the majors with a combined 51 RBI from their third basemen and shortstops, next to last with six homers. The two positions have a .218 batting average.
Merely showing up should be improvement for a team that is three games from a playoff spot, six behind the American League East-leading Red Sox — who the Yankees play 13 more times among 38 remaining intradivision games.
Expect the Yankees to be a factor.
Naming names and waiting for the hammer
That collective, though not totally justified, sigh we heard this week was a result of speculation from union head Michael Weiner that the timetable of the Biogenesis investigation — charges, appeals, arbitration, etc. — would preclude any suspensions until after this season.
So, there. All's well for anyone in a playoff race.
That might be every bit as naïve as believing performance-enhancing drugs will be eradicated from baseball if there's a sweeping series of suspensions that includes some of the game's biggest names.
Even if Weiner gets his wish and MLB adheres to the policy that requires no names be made public until due process runs its course, recent history shows us there will be a leak or two (not to mention unconfirmed reports) along the way.
That's a distraction that can have as much of an effect on a contending team as a blister or a balky hamstring.
Don't forget the great unknown of those handful of players who know enough about their own lives to wonder if or when the hammer will drop.

Warming is forcing the planet to launch a giant ecological experiment in which organisms will increasingly interact with other organisms.usually results in calculations of the species' range shifting poleward — often accentuating actual movements already detected. Thus, if you live north of the equator you may learn that some beetle, bird, or vine is advancing from the south and may be seen in your backyard by 2018. New information, to be sure, but so what? What of its interactions with other organisms, including you? That is, how will it fit in the speedily evolving ecosystem and will it play a new role? And what of the effects of other species deserting locations they've long inhabited?

The textbook model of this food chain contains enough of a time-lag between these episodes that the algae bloom reaches dense levels before being cropped by the zooplankton bloom, with excess, dying algae eventually spilling to the bottom as detritus that fertilizes waters deeper than photosynthesis can occur. Without this supplement from above, much of the sea's bottom waters would be biological deserts.
Climate change may be linked directly to the facilitation of invasive species: a worrisome synergy.balance with other aquatic creatures.

Zebra mussels now reduce the river's phytoplankton by more than eighty percent, an ecological insult that echoes through its food chain, including reducing available food for newly hatched shad and striped bass.

Sunday, May 25, 2014
On 15 May 2014, the Chinese National Badminton Team launched the Thomas Uber Cup video, with a theme of "energize your team for your dream (Dream Team Excitation)", in the two-minute video clip, it expressed the team's confidence and determination to retain their title in the 2014 Li-Ning BWF Thomas and Uber Cup 2014, the China men and women team went into 'special intensive training' to hone their skills.
This video clip is produced by RedBull's production film - "RedBull Sports World" and co-produced by China National Badminton Team, head coach, Li Yongbo.
The video was filmed at the China national team training base in Jinjiang. China national badminton team is known for its precision and aggressiveness but through this video, it showcases a different side of them - the real, subtle and personal side of the players in the process of preparing for the Thomas Uber Cup. With Lin Dan (left) displaying the 'Big-Brother' role, the steadfastness of the veteran players, young players on the training ground outspoken and diffuse the "family" atmosphere, all of these exude the camaraderie of the team and the players' determination to win.
"Generally all the trainings are conducted in exclusivity but this year I want a change. I hope that through such a film, everyone will understand our preparation process, to be exposed to the real side of the team, understand the attitude of the players towards collective honour and teamwork, and how each person interpret the tradition of Chinese National Badminton Team" Li Yongbo said.
"Thomas-Uber Cup is an important event after the Olympic Games. Our team is at a critical stage in alternating between the old and new players, the whole team should establish the will to win, to unite as one, in full competitiveness."
Thomas-Uber Cup 2014 badminton tournament is being held in New Delhi on 18 -25 May, with the Chinese men and women team as the top-seeded team to begin their defending tour. Earlier, the Chinese men's team in the Thomas Cup has created a brilliant record of five consecutive championships by tying with the Indonesian team since their record in 2002; while the Chinese women's team in history has won the Uber Cup twelve times, the girls are on the defending determined to win this year. Something to merit a mention, if both men's and women's teams successfully defended their championship, the team's four newcomers: men's singles – Tian Houwei, women's singles - Sun Yu, women's doubles – Bao Yixin and Tang Jinhua have the opportunity to become the new world champion.
RedBull has been a strong supporter of badminton and a partner of BWF's major tournaments - World Championship, Thomas Uber Cup and Sudirman Cup since 2013. The 'Red Bull Super Finals' is an annual grassroot tournament that garnered more than 60,000 participants from all over China. As Chinese National Badminton Team's main sponsor, Red Bull started in March 2010, the "100 + Plan" to help realize the dream of Li Yongbo to train 100 world champions. By convention, Red Bull will issue a commemorative 'Golden Can' to each first time new world champion and the ceremony is conducted immediately after Finals of the match. To date, Red Bull has presented 75 world champions with the commemorative 'Golden Can'.

Have Intel and Microsoft Discovered the Fountain of Corporate Youth?
December 15, 2014
This has been an interesting quarter. After Andy Grove left, Intel often seemed to struggle with its place in the world and seemed at odds with the computing OEMs. Now, though, it seems more and more like it did when it was 20 years younger. It's not alone, either. Microsoft, which seemed to have forgotten why there were OEMs, suddenly is acting much more like the firm we knew in the early 90s.
The Intangibles: 5 Things That Aren't on the CRM Data Sheets
November 21, 2014
CRM has been around for a long time now -- more than 25 years. Amazingly, many businesses, including large businesses with revenue in excess of US$100 million, still operate without it. That's amazing, because to many business leaders, CRM has become table stakes when it comes to creating a software infrastructure. Within CRM, many of the features have become table stakes, too.

The US Government's Tenuous Relationship With Open Source
November 12, 2014
The amount of open source software used by the U.S. government might be one of the biggest secrets in Washington. Not even purveyors of FOSS, as in free and open source software, know the extent of federal agency adoption of nonproprietary software. Some in the Beltway Loop contend that open source is very prevalent. Others suggest that it's avoided because its code is exposed for anyone to see.
Kano: The Can-Do Coding Kit for Kids of All Ages
November 5, 2014
"So simple a child could do it" -- I have heard that expression abused often in advertising. Yet it aptly applies to the Kano computer kit. Kano is a computer and coding kit that is suitable for all ages. Well, to be truthful, Kano's step-by-step instructions in the included booklets and its simplified Linux-based operating system target kids aged 6 to 14.
Dropbox, Microsoft Gang Up on Google
November 4, 2014
Microsoft on Tuesday announced a strategic partnership with Dropbox -- only eight days after announcing unlimited cloud storage for Office 365 subscribers in a move widely seen as a frontal attack on Dropbox and Google.

Mobile Database Management's Coming of Age
October 28, 2014
The push is on for mobile database management tools built from the ground up to run directly inside phones, tablets and wearables.

It creates a personal wiki for storing everything from quick notes to detailed checklists to outlines. It creates links between pages in Scribbleton. Think of this as an easy-to-use database to link words, phrases and pages.
Dan Allen and Sarah White: Documentation Dearth Dooms Open Source Projects
September 24, 2014
One of the essential draws to open source software should be superior product documentation. Well-written user guidelines are a key strategy that software developers should use to increase an open source project's growth and user adoption. All too often, programmers finish their last line of code and shove the open source software out the door. Documentation is often an afterthought, if that.
Hacker Gives Google a Hand With Chrome-Android Compatibility

7 Crazy-Named, Crazy Good Open Source Enterprise IT Tools
September 12, 2014
Enterprise IT is a very serious matter, but you might not know it judging by the software tools that are often integral to its operations. The list of odd names in today's data centers and enterprise IT shops also highlights the ongoing trend of polyglot programming. Today's applications and services are based on a wider variety of application components and run on a wider array of infrastructure.
The Importance of Openness to the Internet of Things
September 10, 2014
Consumers today are in an awkward position. Personal privacy is being wiped out by the Internet. At the same time, new technologies that interconnect our devices, homes and offices are offering stupendous advantages. Welcome to the new Internet of Things' open world. "Openness" means something different depending on whether you're basking in the convenience or contributing to a vendor's cash flow.
HP's 'Chromebook Killer' Delivers a Jolt of Sticker Shock
September 9, 2014
HP on Monday unveiled the Windows-based Stream laptop some have referred to as a "Chromebook killer," but instead of sporting the $199 price that was expected, it will cost $299. Featuring a 1366 x 768 display, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of local storage, the new 14-inch machine is powered by an AMD A4 Micro processor with a fanless design.

Matthew Miller: The Remaking of Fedora 1, 2, 3
September 3, 2014
Fedora is perhaps one of the hallmark Linux distributions. It is sponsored by Red Hat, the commercial developer of RHEL. Red Hat's investment in the Fedora community is collaborative. Fedora Linux releases often provide RHEL developers with a field test environment that incubates innovative open source software technologies. Red Hat Linux 1.0 was released in late 1994 as Red Hat Commercial Linux.
Google Gives Glass a Good Polish
August 26, 2014
An update to the software that runs Glass gives users of Google's wearable computing device more control over their interactions with contacts. The latest version of the software -- also known as version XE20.1 -- adds the flexibility to choose how to reach out to a contact after selecting the person from the contacts list. Users now can swipe between Hangouts, email or SMS.
FOSS' Documentation Dilemma
August 11, 2014
Hang around for any length of time in the seedy bars and watering holes of the Linux blogosphere, and you'll soon realize that certain topics tend to recur with surprising frequency. The most obvious example, of course, is the Year of Linux on the Desktop -- a topic scientists have determined will surely outlive us all. The latest example to rear its head? FOSS documentation.
Taking the Temperature of Java App Security
August 11, 2014
Current approaches to Java application protection place security at the application or the network layer, both of which are problematic. The first approach has proven to be too complex, too time consuming and too risky -- in other words, "too hot." Meanwhile, network level security that consists of perimeter devices lacks the intelligence to know what's going on inside the application.
A Fresh Look at OpenStack
August 6, 2014
The OpenStack project continues to be something of a lightning rod and also something of a dichotomy in the industry. On one hand, it has drawn the involvement of hundreds of supporting vendors and more than 17,000 individual members. It ranks highly among priorities, particularly for private clouds. Yet critics are quick to point out issues, such as installation and implementation difficulties.
MyNotex Strikes an Almost Perfect Note
July 31, 2014
Note-taking applications in Linux are a dime a dozen. It can be difficult to sort through the feature sets to find the best solution.

July 29, 2014
China's State Administration for Industry & Commerce on Tuesday announced it has launched an investigation into Microsoft under the country's antimonopoly laws, according to press reports. The announcement comes days after SAIC officials reportedly raided Microsoft offices in four cities, seizing documents, emails and other data from servers and computers, among other things.
KaOS Calms Down KDE
July 15, 2014
KaOS is an interesting and very efficient Linux distribution built around a refined KDE desktop environment. The KDE integration is much more controlled in KaOS than in other Linux choices. The latest release for this 14-month young Linux distro came in late June. KaOS is a bit of a rarity. It is independent of other distros -- not a direct relative of other Linux offshoots.
New IoT Group to Get Devices Talking Among Themselves
July 11, 2014
Half a dozen companies this week launched the Open Interconnect Consortium to define the connectivity requirements and improve the interoperability of the 200 billion devices that will make up the Internet of Things by 2020.

Nadella Spells Out Microsoft's Bold Ambitions
July 10, 2014
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on Thursday mapped out his vision for the company's future, emphasizing cloud and mobile computing, in a letter to all employees.

Despite Apple's Aperture Fumble, the Photos for OS X End Goal
Could Win It All
July 3, 2014
There's a lot riding on Apple's new Photos for Mac OS X app. At WWDC, Apple briefly showed off an early version of its upcoming Photos app, which will integrate with iCloud and the iOS 8-based Photos app with the iCloud Photo Library service. Naturally, this plan raised some questions, and late last week, Apple revealed that it has stopped developing new features for Aperture and iPhoto.
No Unanimity in Reactions to SC's Unanimous Software Patent Decision
June 25, 2014
When the U.S. Supreme Court issues a unanimous decision, it's easy to conclude that it must be right on the facts, right on the law, and right in applying the law to the facts. So what's not to like about its recent 9-0 ruling in a software patent case? The decision was spot-on -- or at least nearly spot-on, according to Victoria Espinel, president and CEO of the Business Software Alliance.
LXQt Desktop Could Be a Real Beaut
June 19, 2014
If you like the economy of working in a lightweight desktop environment such as LXDE, you no doubt will love the tweaked performance of the LXQt desktop. It is a fusion of the LXDE and Razor-Qt desktop environments. The LXQt hybrid is the next generation of the popular Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment. The result is a lightweight, modular, very fast desktop environment that is user-friendly.
Does Linux Lack a Killer App?
June 16, 2014
Well the days are heating up here in the Linux blogosphere, and FOSS fans are flocking to the Broken Windows Lounge as much for the frosty air-conditioning as for the conversation. Even Linux Girl, whose days generally involve far more pavement-pounding than she'd like, has found herself seeking solace in the blogobar's arctic climes far more often than she probably should.
Pinguy OS Makes Gnome Desktop as Good as It Gets
June 13, 2014
The Pinguy OS is a solid Linux distro with a focus on simple and straightforward usability for the non-geek desktop user. This approach may disappoint those who favor newer user interfaces, but if you consider yourself a normal computer user who does not like to tinker with settings and various desktop environment options, Pinguy OS could be a good choice.

Casino Planned For Medford
An Oregon tribe that operates a casino in Coos County hopes to open one in Medford. The Medford Mail Tribune reports the Coquille Indian Tribe has quietly bought Roxy Ann Bowling Lanes and the vacant building that was once home to Kim's restaurant and has leased an adjacent golf course.
Chief Kenneth Tanner said the tribe will seek to have the purchased property placed into a federal trust, paving the way to reservation status. Tanner told the paper that Medford is "one of the last good markets remaining without a casino in Oregon." He says plans are to level the restaurant for a parking lot and remodel the bowling alley, with part turned into a gambling area. He said getting the casino open could take two to three years.
The tribe has a casino in North Bend.

State Attorney, 2nd Judicial Circuit
Florida is divided geographically into twenty judicial circuits. Here in the Second Circuit we serve a population of over 300,000 in the six counties of Leon, Franklin, Gadsden, Jefferson, Liberty, and Wakulla. The Constitution of the State of Florida empowers the State Attorney as the prosecuting officer of all circuit and county trial courts. Many states call this position the "District Attorney." The State Attorney processes all criminal cases presented by law enforcement officers who have charged persons with felonies, misdemeanors, traffic crimes like DUI or reckless driving, acts of juvenile delinquency, and some violations of county or municipal ordinances. As your State Attorney, I have a semi-judicial role in leading my staff of over 42 attorneys to apply our state criminal laws fairly and consistently to seek to convict the guilty while protecting the innocent.
In order to to be successful, we must have the cooperation of our citizens in serving juries and testifying when needed as a victim or other witness. If you are a victim or witness you will receive as much information as possible about the legal process and your rights. We have a Victim/Witness Assistance Unit to help you through your encounter with the criminal justice system. This statement and the information contained at this site is prepared with you in mind so that you may have a general knowledge of the criminal court processes and your rights and responsibilities. I sincerely hope it will assist you, as our partner, in reaching our mutual goals.
Very truly yours,

Garden Gleanings - Watercress as an accentPosted Sunday, April 27, 2008, at 11:01 AM
These plants do so well that we have to continuously pull it to allow the water to pass quickly enough to avoid overflowing the banks of the stream we made. Its' roots filter the water as it returns to the pond.
Our original intent was to use it as a decorative planting. It has turned out to be additives to our salad, our sandwiches and even a soup of its own.
Later in the spring it has pretty white flowers, but try to keep it from going to seed. It can be prolific.
If you have running water in your water feature, consider watercress. One comment of concern, be prepared to keep it cut back, eat it or thin it. It grows well!!!

Just beautiful Steve. I wish my property was big enough for a small pond and fall.
On a couple of side notes... I got my garden tilled up today... yeee hawwww! Now, to go get the rake and get all the "trash" out, weeds, etc. Then it's melons, cukes, beans, squash and peppers... woo hoo! Hey, anyone know where I can get a couple of those "ghost pepper" plants? They're supposed to be the hottest in the world.
Side note #2... about how many people on average go to the gardening meetings? 20? 30? 15? I'm thinking of calling Bocelli's and see if we can meet there every now and then, if there's no cost or anything. I'll let you know what I find out, okay?
-- Posted by craftin_mom on Sun, Apr 27, 2008, at 1:20 PM
For those curious about the Ghost pepper http://www.samwilkinson.org/2007/03/01/t...
Usually no more than 15 attend unless we get someone like Garth Brooks to come. That might add a few more.
The Sunday group will be at the Chamber of Commerce on May 11th. I am teaching a class there earlier and can hold it for a 6:30 garden club meeting.
There are more flowers around the pond now and the lily pads are close to blooming as well. The picture is too small the see the goldfish under the water.
-- Posted by stevemills on Sun, Apr 27, 2008, at 2:26 PM
Steve, I called Bocelli's, and they are usually packed Fri/Sat nites, so they don't take reservations for those days, or for lunch hour all week. They are closed Sundays. She said any other evening *might* work.
Well, since I seem to be the only one with a complaint of Asian food, I suppose I could try to go to a short meeting sometime at Hong Kong. If I start getting ill, I'm sure I could politely excuse myself.
I'm sure I could be at the COC for the Sunday meeting. That one shouldn't be a problem.

craftin-mom, what about Raphael's? They have that backroom area that seats a lot of people. It's not clossed off from everyone like at the Chinese place, but there are corners where everyone can just push together some tables?

You can always plant any kind of mint in a one gallon container or larger to keep it from being so invasive.
By the way, there is the Middle Tennessee Plant Swap coming up in May so if anyone if interested just email me at email@example.com
This is for gardeners and their families and is free, all folks do is trade plants or any gardening item such as seeds, bulbs, birdhouses, etc (no money exchanges hands).

Cindy, do you mind sharing the date, time and location here? Some may be a little reserved about writing, and we would hate for them to miss the event.
-- Posted by stevemills on Mon, Apr 28, 2008, at 8:27 PM
The event is called the Middle Tennessee Plant Swap and takes places in the spring and in the fall. This year the event will be held May 17 starting at 9:00 a.m. at Henry Horton State Park. Get there early because a guest lecturer will start at 9 is my understanding. The website to visit and register is http://www.midtnplantswap.com/. There is no admission and you read under the questions and answers as to what to bring etc. This is my first year to attend and I have many plants to take and swap. I read a lot on the garden web and I believe they are expecting anywhere from 150 to 200 folks. Basically it sounds like a big family reunion with a bunch of gardeners.
Hope this helps and encourages folks to go. Free plants and a day with gardeners is a stress free day in my book. Hope this helps.

America's #1 flute specialty house since 1983.
Phyllotaxis for flute and electronics (flute part only)By Jennifer Bernard MerkowitzDuration: approx. 8'30
The word phyllotaxis comes from "leaf arrangement" in Greek. It describes the phenomenon that plants seem to grow in patterns that make for the most efficient use of space. As the plant grows, the number of "turns" made before a new leaf or petal appears is called the phyllotactic ration, and common rations include 1/2, 2/5, 3/8-all ratios involving numbers that result from the Fibonacci series (11235813...)When looking at the head of a sunflower, the eye is drawn to the clockwise and counterclockwise spirals, and there are usually 34 going one way and 55 going the other way-also Finonacci numbers! The phenomenon can be recreated by generating successive pints on a spiral that are separated by 137.5 degrees-the "Golden Angle".

Last night's CLC was a disgrace to the City of Cleveland. If that represents what Cleveland considers "quality" sports broadcast journalism then the river needs to burn again. Ranting, raving, interruptions, repeated afte repeated statements, etc.
I hope they review the video of their performance last night. The need to apologize to the City of Cleveland and to the entire state for an embarrassing display of amateur theatrics. Bush league at its worst!

Nine New Northeast Region Level 1 Coaches
The Northeast Region now has nine new Level 1 trained coaches. On Sunday, June 28, Andy Chong, Level 4 certified coach, conducted a Level 1 course with the following participants: Sasha Boyarin, Jeechee Chen, Jennifer Coleman, Marc Lai, Bob Malaythong, Pashupati Paneru, Wee Khin Tam, Jennifer Tang and Tom Yang. Jeechee Chen traveled here from Maryland and Jennifer Tang came from New York City to attend; all the rest are from the metropolitan Boston area.
The course was held at the Maugus Club in Wellesley, MA whose C-level club members were the beneficiaries of the instruction performed by the coach trainees under Andy's tutelage. Andy started with a presentation and discussion for the prospective coaches off court in which he covered the objective and structure of USAB's coaching program, the important characteristics of a good coach, learning and teaching styles, the basics of badminton that need to be covered for novice players, as well as the need for basic first aid and CPR skills. Moving onto the court, Andy described and demonstrated how to observe players, what to look for in order to identify common stroke errors and how to correct them.
Following this, twelve Maugus C-players arrived to fill their 3 courts for the next 90 minutes. Andy started this portion of the course with an exciting doubles demonstration to allow the novice players to see both well executed strokes of all types in action as well as proper doubles movement, with the pairs shifting between offensive and defensive positions as appropriate to the play. Andy then spread the coaches out to work individually with 1-2 players on each court. Proceeding to specific instruction on each stroke, Andy directed the coaches to work with one to two players at a time and then rotated them to the next set of players for the next stroke giving them the opportunity to experience many different types and capabilities of students, all under his watchful eye.
Wrapping up, Andy then took time with the players to elicit their feedback regarding the coaches' performance and then brought the coaches back together for final discussions, questions and their feedback. Both players and coaches were highly enthusiastic about their experience in this. Even experienced, top-level coaches who were attaining their Level-1 certification now only because the course had not been easily available previously reported valuable learning from this clinic.
Beth Sopka, president of the Massachusetts Badminton Association (MassBad), the sponsor of this event, hopes to build on the success of this course to promote badminton more widely in this area. Each of the newly certified coaches will be encouraged to conduct additional Level-1 clinics aimed at other local program coaches as well as school physical education teachers and recreational facility program directors to help improve and broaden the understanding of our sport.

Projected surplus shows state taxes are too high
The 2013 Minnesota Legislature went a little nuts with the tax hikes. That is reflected in a state budget forecast released Thursday that predicts a $1 billion surplus.
The state still owes money to the public school system, because the state uses accounting shifts to hold back funding from schools during lean times. Now, the state will be able to fully repay the system.
Left over will be $825 million. It is more than obvious that this money should go to eradicate tax increases that just kicked in. These include sales taxes on farm equipment repairs, telecommunications supplies and commercial warehousing services.
Gov.?Mark Dayton says he will wait until late February to offer budget recommendations, because a fresh forecast then will offer more complete information. We can understand his desire to be prudent, but he should make clear now – today – that unnecessary taxation will be one of his targets. If it is not, he will repeat the mistake of lawmakers who passed the new taxes last session.
These fresh taxes represent an undue burden on businesses and consumers. Sucking money out of the private sector will come back to haunt the state. It makes Minnesota a less-competitive place to do business, hurts job creation and punishes those who are the engines – large and small – of society. Lawmakers should look to remove the burdens.

Four Perfect Days Running Costa BravaA trail-running tour of Spain's Costa Brava region yields an unexpected immersion in Catolonian gastronomy, culture and history.
Photo by Chris Hunter
Our guide from Running Costa Brava Tours, Pablo Rodriguez, is easily recognizable in the Girona's bustling train terminal. Not because I've met him before or seen his photo; rather, I recognize him in the way a runner recognizes another runner.
Pablo is wearing a crimson hydration vest over a well-worn, sweat-stained technical T-shirt with grey shorts, his sockless feet in pancake-flat yellow running shoes that scream running geek. His bald head shines as brightly as his eyes when we make visual contact. He bounds towards me, deer-like, with a light and springy gait. "Welcome to Catalunya!" he says.
Photographer Chris Hunter and I are spending the next four days with Pablo for a fully supported Catalonia trail-running tour of Costa Brava's ancient villages, spas and wineries between Girona and the French boarder at the Pyrenees. We'd spent the previous day in Barcelona, exploring the famous city's La Rambla tourist district and famous Goudi landmarks. After a night in the city, we hopped an early morning train northeast to Girona, where our tour would begin.
During the hour-long drive to the trailhead the conversation gravitates to running. "Running is not just a sport; it's as natural as breathing," says Pablo, who gave up shoes and began running in Tarahumara-inspired Luna sandals after reading the bestselling book Born to Run. "Humans don't really need anything between their feet and the ground. Running without shoes is a matter of softness."
Then he asks if we've heard of Kilian Jornet, arguably the most talented young trail runner on the planet.
"He's Catalonian, you know," Pablo says proudly.
While Catalonia (Catalunya in Catalan) is under Spanish rule, Pablo explains that it is an autonomous region with a proudly distinct culture, defined largely by its cuisine and language. All locals speak Catalan, which was banned until just 37 years ago but now appears on all the region's road signs.
"How long has it been since Catalonia was a country?" I ask.
"Not long, about 300 years," says Pablo. I snicker, then realize that, to Catalonians, 300 years isn't a long time. "Someday we will again be our own nation."
Pablo turns off the highway onto a country road that winds through green pastures and vast sunflower fields. Then we turn onto a barely passable, rocky dirt road that weaves uphill through forests of cork trees from which the bark has been stripped to make bottle corks.
As we near the trailhead, I ask Pablo who maintains the trail system. "Some I made myself using the paths forged by wild boars, but they are low to the ground so I must clear the way for people using my machete," he says.
"I gotta see that," chirps Chris from the back seat.
"Wild boars?" I quiver.
"Yes, but not to worry," assures Pablo. "They are harmless."

Spouses and significant others speak out about their partners' trail and ultrarunning lifestyles
Photo by BigStockPhoto.
Last March, I found myself huddled around a campfire that Gary "Laz" Cantrell, Race Director of Tennessee's Barkley Marathons, had made. The flames were just beginning to radiate warmth and thaw a plate of frozen chicken, as well as my numb fingers. I was tired, cold and hungry, and before I could stop myself, I began to retrace the events that had led me to this moment.
"So, I run," Nick Hollon, my boyfriend, had said on our first date. I nodded, thinking it was his method of keeping fit, like some runners. A hobby. Maybe a few 5Ks sprinkled throughout the year.
"Like, a lot," he added, emphasizing those words as though I hadn't understood. And I hadn't. What he meant was that he regularly raced 100-mile races, for fun. I've always been active and love getting out on the trails, but at the time had never run more than 10 miles on a trail at once.
Now, five months later, I was on day three of crewing him for Barkley, a 100-mile run set in the forests of Tennessee's Frozen Head State Park. It was his third attempt at Barkley, and his thirteenth 100-miler, but it was my first time crewing for anything, let alone a race as long and grueling as Barkley.
Though I wasn't a trail runner to begin with, both from running a few trail races and by sheer proxy to the trail-running community, I feel like one now; I can talk for hours about FKTs and know the best ways to rid dirty trail shoes of their consistent smell. I'm also prepared to have any food left in my house inhaled if Nick comes over after a training run.
Although we're not married, there are a number of common challenges and joys to being in a committed relationship with a trail runner. I spoke with several other athletes and their spouses about how trail running has affected their relationship and home life.

Do they gamble more in Cleveland than Columbus?
The Columbus Dispatch - November 02, 2012 02:40 PM
It seems all those gamblers up north can't get enough blackjack, roulette and mini-baccarat (the game James Bond seems to prefer).
Horseshoe Cleveland casino will add 24 table games this month, bringing its total to 89. This is 11 more table games than there are in Hollywood Casino Columbus, which opened Oct. 8.
"Cleveland is a table games town," said Horseshoe SVP and GM Marcus Glover.
What about Columbus?
We'll soon see. The October revenue numbers from table games and slots will be released soon by the Ohio Casino Control Commission. Stay tuned...

He'd held his baby girl for the first time just four months ago. She'd rounded the first half of her senior year and was headed toward graduation.
Their lives intertwined Sunday night in the worst of ways.
Just after 8 p.m. on Rt. 161 in southern Union County, a car filled with Joshua Fraley and his family collided head-on with an SUV carrying Olivia Aicher and a friend.
Fraley, 30, of Mechanicsburg, and his 2-year-old son, Easton, died in the crash. So did Aicher, 17, a senior at Dublin Coffman High School.
Three others were injured. Fraley's wife, Jennifer, 36, was in serious condition at Wexner Medical Center at Ohio State University, and his 4-month-old daughter, Payton, was in good condition at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Aicher's friend, whom authorities didn't name, was taken to OhioHealth Grant Medical Center for treatment.
Union County Sheriff Jamie Patton said the Fraleys' 2002 Pontiac Bonneville was westbound on Rt. 161 while Aicher, in her mother's 2005 Mercury Mountaineer, was headed east.
The two struck head-on about a mile west of Rt. 38. The SUV landed on its side in the middle of the highway, Patton said, while the Bonneville came to rest in a ditch on the north side of the road.
Patton said it's not clear who was driving each vehicle, which one crossed the centerline or who was wearing seat belts. The investigation continues.
Meanwhile, he said, "We've got several families that are mourning the death of their loved ones. Our hearts go out to them."
Jennifer Fraley's Facebook pictures show her little boy's brief life as one filled with smiles and green tractors and two tiny birthday cakes. She posted one picture of him with an arm wrapped around his newborn sister, pulling out his pacifier to give her a kiss.
"It really melted my heart!" she wrote.
Other photos show her and her husband laughing as they posed for wedding photos in 2010, of Joshua Fraley cradling his daughter, of him holding Easton atop his shoulders in the hospital where the girl was born.
Over at Coffman, a janitor approached 17-year-old Jessica Simone early in the schoolday yesterday, wanting her to know the news before other students. Aicher had been one of her closest friends, a shy kid who blossomed as soon as she hit high school.
"She was really quiet then," said another friend, Abbey Lowers, 18, "but we broke her out of her shell."
Lowers and Simone said Aicher was a quirky girl who was always good for a laugh. She was a member of the marching band's color guard, but she also had a fondness for blasting rap music in her car. She held sleepover parties in her basement where everyone would watch movies and talk about life.
Aicher's friends asked their classmates to wear pink on Wednesday, a wink to one of Aicher's favorite movies, Mean Girls.
"It hasn't really hit me yet," Simone said.

Panthera leo spelaea
Panthera leo spelaea or P. spelaea,[note 1] commonly known as the European or Eurasian cave lion, is an extinct subspecies of lion. It is known from fossils and many examples of prehistoric art.
The cave lion is sometimes considered a species in its own right, under the name Panthera spelaea,[2] and at least one authority, basing his conclusion on a comparison of skull shapes, considers the cave lion to be more closely related to the tiger, which would result in the formal name Panthera tigris spelaea.[3] However, recent genetic research shows that among extant felids it was most closely related to the modern lion[4][5] and that it formed a single population with the Beringian cave lion,[5] which has been sometimes considered to represent a distinct form. Therefore, the cave lion ranged from Europe to Alaska over the Bering land bridge until the late Pleistocene. However, it is still not clear whether it should be considered a subspecies of the lion or rather a closely related species.[5][note 1]
Analysis of skulls and mandibles of a lion that inhabited Yakutia (Russia), Alaska (USA), and the Yukon Territory (Canada) during the Pleistocene epoch suggested that it was a new subspecies different from the other prehistoric lions, Panthera leo vereshchagini, known as the East Siberian- or Beringian cave lion.[6] It differed from Panthera leo spelaea by its larger size and from the American lion (Panthera leo atrox) by its smaller size and by skull proportions.[6][7] However, recent genetic research, using ancient DNA from Beringian lions found no evidence for separating Panthera leo vereshchagini from the European cave lion; indeed, DNA signatures from lions from Europe and Alaska were indistinguishable, suggesting one large panmictic population.[1]
The cave lion (Panthera leo spelea) evolved from the earlier Panthera leo fossilis, which first appeared in Europe about 700,000 years ago. Genetic evidence indicates this lineage was isolated from extant lions after its dispersal to Europe.[4] P. l. spelaea lived from 370,000 to 10,000 years ago, during the Pleistocene epoch. Apparently, it became extinct about 12,500 C-14 years ago,[5] as the Würm glaciation receded.
Mitochondrial DNA sequence data from fossil remains show the American lion (P. l. atrox) represents a sister lineage to P. l. spelaea, and likely arose when an early P. l. spelaea population became isolated south of the North American continental ice sheet about 0.34 Mya.[5]
This subspecies was one of the largest lions. The skeleton of an adult male, which was found in 1985 near Siegsdorf (Germany), had a shoulder height of around 1.2 m (4 ft) and a head-body length of 2.1 m (7 ft) without the tail.[citation needed] This is similar to the size of a very large modern lion. The size of this male has been exceeded by other specimens of this subspecies. Therefore, this cat may have been around 8%-10% bigger than modern lions and smaller than the earlier cave lion subspecies Panthera leo fossilis or the relatively larger American lion (Panthera leo atrox).[8] The cave lion is known from Paleolithic cave paintings, ivory carvings, and clay figurines. These representations indicate cave lions had rounded, protruding ears, tufted tails, possibly faint tiger-like stripes, and at least some had a "ruff" or primitive mane around their necks, possibly indicating males. Other archaeological artifacts indicate they were featured in Paleolithic religious rituals.
These active carnivores probably preyed upon the large herbivorous animals of their time, including horses, deer, reindeer, bison and even injured old or young mammoths.[9] Some paintings of them in caves show several hunting together, which suggests the hunting strategy of contemporary lionesses. Isotopic analyses of bone collagen samples extracted from fossils suggest reindeer and cave bear cubs were prominent in the diets of northwestern European cave lions.[10][11] There was a suggestion of a shift in dietary preferences subsequent to the disappearance of the cave hyena.[11] The last cave lions seem to have focused on reindeer, up to the brink of local extinction or extirpation of both species.[11]
Small prey was usually brought down with a blow of the front paw and then held down with both front feet. The animal was finally killed by a powerful bite from the sharp teeth,[12] at the back of the neck, in the region of the throat and even in the chest. A cave lion usually could not run as fast as its prey, but could pounce on it from behind or run up next to it and bring it down with the paws. In this manner a running animal's balance could very easily be disturbed.
It was most likely the most common large predator (after the cave hyena) in plains ecosystems.[citation needed] Its extinction may have been related to the Quaternary extinction event, which wiped out most of the megafauna prey in those regions.[citation needed] Cave paintings and remains found in the refuse piles of ancient camp sites indicate they were hunted by early humans, which also may have contributed to their demise.[citation needed]
Cave lions were widespread in parts of Europe, Asia and northwestern North America, from Great Britain, Germany and Spain [13] all the way across the Bering Strait to the Yukon Territory, and from Siberia to Turkistan.[14]
The cave lion received its common name because large quantities of its remains are found in caves,[9] but it is doubtful whether they lived in them (one theory being that lion bones may have been collected there ex post facto by packrats that are obsessive hoarders of bright objects, even useless ones).[citation needed] It had a wide habitat tolerance, but probably preferred conifer forests and grasslands,[15] where medium-sized to large herbivores occurred. Fossil footprints of lions, which were found together with those of reindeer, demonstrate the lions once occurred even in subpolar climates. The presence of fully articulated adult cave lion skeletons, deep in cave bear dens, indicates these lions may have occasionally entered dens to prey on hibernating cave bears, with some dying in the attempt.[16]

Sunday was an incredible day in New Orleans. My friend and I rolled into town at about 9:30am after staying in Baton Rouge the night before. A huge rain storm came through during the night, but fortunately we made it through the bayou before it flooded the interstate and forced the cops to close it down for a while.
Pulling into town we could see hurricane damage on the side of hotels along the interstate - then we saw the worst of the devestation in the 9th Ward. I've never seen such destruction before in my life. (In person) It was like being in a wasteland.
Then we made it to the French Quarter. All of a sudden there was new life all around us. Fortunately Bourbon Street and the surrounding area didn't get hit quite so hard by the flooding. The music was back, the party people were back, and that great New Orleans vibe was back. Zydeco music was in the air, great food was being cooked, and people were having a great time.
We made it to the Jazz and Heritage Festival just in time to get a pretty good seat in front of the main stage.
After a couple of great blues artists (most notably Sonny Landreth), it was time for some real New Orleans music. Out came Allen Toussaint wearing an awesome Gold suit. He played and sang some of the greatest songs ever written - "Working in a Coal Mine," "Fortune Teller" (covered by the Rolling Stones), "Soul Sister," etc. Then he invited Elvis Costello on stage to sing a few songs from their new CD, The River In Reverse. Elvis was wearing a purple blazer, and it seemed to fit well alongside Allen Toussaint's Gold blazer. (Royalty colors)
Elvis sounded incredible and looked sharp. The new songs were super. (Especially the title track) I can't wait to get the CD. Then Allen closed the set alone with a few songs including a tribute to Wilson Pickett. ("Land of 1,000 Dances") His horn section was out of this world. It's no wonder Macca worked with him on Venus and Mars.
Following that incredible set I witnessed one of the most historic performances I will probably ever see. I know everybody keeps going on and on about Springsteen's performance Sunday night, but it was truely a moving experience. His new album, the Seeger Sessions, seemed tailor- made for the aftermath of Katrina. Uplifting songs about hope mixed with reflective songs about disappointment and the need to carry on filled the entire set. Most of his set was like a gospel sing-a-long. "Jacob's Ladder," "Mary Don't You Weep," "Eyes on the Prize," "My City of Ruins," "We Shall Overcome," etc. His energy was more powerful than ever - he seemed like a man on a mission.
As great as the Seeger Sessions CD is, this band absolutely kills live. Saying it rivals the E-Street Band isn't much of a stretch. The New Orleans style horn section was probably the most impressive part of the band. (Although he had a great banjo player, great fiddle players, and a great slide guitar player) Definately worth catching live.
All in all it was one of the greatest musical experiences of my life. It really felt like a part of history. There were thousands and thousands of people there - Allen Toussaint said it was possibly the largest crowd they've ever had for Jazz Fest.
I wish I could go again next weekend, but it's just not feasable. Fortunately they are having a live Web Cast so I'll have to catch it on my computer.

Posted on 05/25/2009 8:46:23 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement
President Barack Obama returns to the White House from Camp David, Sunday evening, May 24, 2009.
(Excerpt) Read more at daylife.com ...
He looks like he just went ten rounds with a three-year-old.
"You can take the organizer out of the ghetto, but . . . "
Wow, doesn't he look Presidential?
No caption, but I can just imagine what the sergeant is thinking.
sup home dogs?
The SLOB-in Chief! In his messy dress uninformed
Didn't your Mom teach you to dress for the occassion? From now till your impeachment dress nice stupid!
I wonder what the Marine is thinking?
He looks like a homeless man who goes through others garbage for clothing.
Bum in Chief!
So that was him coming back from a relaxing day at Camp David? Where's the lil wife and kiddies? He went ALL BY HIMSELF?? No doggie?
He looks hungover
Well he certainly doesn't look like all the previous occupants of the office of the Presidency and the White House.
He looks like a homeless bum.
I'm disgusted....
I will now walk and present my self like a President of the United States...I will walk and now present my Presidential self like a United States...I will now presnt my walk and my President self like a lot of the United States...sheeeeeyit...I'm the man...
"These pants is too tight!"
Take me to your leader.
Looks to me like he is still high.
Why won't all these dictators listen to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I have to go tell the sheeple everything is fine. NK is doing the nuke testing for defensive reasons.
Mannnnnn, taking a 200 million dollar helo downtown and they are alllll outtta spicy chicken wings.
All the Hollywood fashion stylists in the world are willing to die for him and he still looks like a dump.
After firing the gardener at Camp David, Barack Obama spent his Memorial Day weekend doing yard work there.
Un Freeking believable!
Not a reassuring image considering that the Kenyan Clown is coming back just in time for North Korea's nuclear test.
Looks like the folks in Chicago here outside grocery stores asking, "Buy a Street Wise? Buy a Street Wise?
I couldn't help but think .. "That suka got a MP3 plugged into his head."
"Will Chesty Puller call down from Heaven and teach this Bozo salute protocol" .
THis "look" probably IS the product of the great so-called fashion stylists of the world.
This job is already kickin' my ass ... what the hell was I thinking????
There is a clip that goes with that, it is a close up side/front view and the look on his face is utter dread. Like I would rather be anywhere but here. The way he walked indicates he is dragging his feet, not wanting to go. I guess the community organizer is finding himself a bit out of place.
...the dead began rising from the grave today. It looks like a zombie invasion is in our future...
Obama is reminded that he doesn't need a boarding pass.
Oh, lookie 0bama! Where he get those cwappy clothes? He wearing Michelle's pants or someting? Nobody ever take my picture like that. Dear Leader is a snappy dresser!
Anyone can grow up to be POTUS — But WHY OH, WHY this disgraceful piece of excrement????? ~~~sigh~~~
Exactly. He looks like he has no spine or energy to confront NK.
It's my party and I'll cry if I want to.
Is this an advertisement for hemorrhoid cream? Or.... he should have used some......
Send him back to the ghetto where he belongs.
Wow, wasn't someone around to dress his hung over a**? Take a look at the Marine, what a contrast.
That "look" is from the WILLIAM AYERS COLLECTION.
More tears are shed over answered prayers than unanswered ones.
St. Teresa of Avila 1515-1582
What a scumbag!
Good Lord, what an embarassment!
Looks like a Sinclair weekend!
Oh my. He looks like sh*t.
