It may well be that you are, indeed, losing it when you start looking to the Muppets for wisdom, but nobody ever said it better than Kermit, the frog.
It's not easy being green.
This election, it would seem, is as much about what states and candidates are green as it is about which ones are red or blue. Al Gore's movie, An Inconvenient Truth, and the subsequent publicity about both his Oscar and his $30, 000 utility bills (or, as we liberals say, "Whoops!") seem to have made The Environment (always pronounced as though it were capitalized) a big deal, again, although all of the sturm und drang sometimes makes me wonder if it hasn't joined illegal immigration on a long list of pseudo issues about problems we have always had and aren't going to do much about .
The thing about pseudo issues is that they are easy to paint in broad strokes, easy to caricature and easy to find enough real and made-up statistics about for people on both sides to make authoritative-sounding arguments about them. And, more importantly, to distract people from some of the things they should really be worrying about.
A war started and continued on totally made-up premises by people who had not the slightest idea that the philosophical, religious and historical makeup of the country we invaded was going to lead to a quagmire that could wind up making Vietnam look like a mud puddle, is probably more important, at least in the instant moment, than whether you get paper or plastic bags at the grocery store.
How many people cross our borders to take jobs that nobody else would have for less money than any high school kid would demand doesn't seem to me to be as important as the tens of millions of Americans, including children, without adequate health care insurance.
Lately, immigration, with frequent references to 9/11, the magic touchstone of political rhetoric for the past few years, has been raised as a security issue; bad people might sneak in among those thousands of undocumented farm workers who enter the country every week.
Ask anyone with any experience in reconnaissance or covert operations how hard it would be to infiltrate a team of bad guys into a country with as many miles of border and coastlines this one has and where Haitians floating in boats made out of old pickup trucks penetrate our "defenses" every day.
It's almost as much fun as when the feds had their underwear in a bunch over anthrax and started searching kids, old women and anyone with a non-Anglican last name for tiny vials (it looked like about a gram in the bottle Colin Powell was waving around when he was still getting paid to buy into the game) of white powder that would kill us. This when they can find only a tiny portion of the hundreds of tons of cocaine, also a white powder, that come into the country every year - none of it in grandma's bloomers.
But back to this year's non-cause du jour: The Environment.
I'm told I can lessen my "carbon footprint" (the latest measure of how abusive we all are of planet Earth) by not flying commercially. I guess I should walk to Europe later this year rather than share a sweaty airplane with 300 other travelers, while rock musicians rent an entire Gulfstream jet for three or four people and a whole armada of equally damaging aircraft carry politicians all over the world to accomplish very little at great expense.
I should recycle, I am told. That is an idea I gave up years ago after I saw the garbage-man throw the blue bags I had so industriously filled with plastic and aluminum into the same truck (with a big compactor on the back) where my old newspapers, coffee grounds and potato peelings went.
I am supposed to chase rolling cans of orange juice and fizzing soda cans all over the grocery store parking lot because I chose environmentally sound plastic (I guess the planet never quite gets enough plastic) instead of paper bags.
I know those of us connected to the newspaper business should be sensitive about the subject of killing trees for commerce, but it seems to me like I get an awful lot of mail, paper not plastic, every year from organizations and candidates who are killing trees to print requests (delivered by people driving gas-guzzling mail trucks) for money to help them get people to stop killing trees.
I should always take mass transit rather than drive my car, except, of course, I live where there isn't any, and where voter initiatives demanding it (remember the high-speed train) wind up in the same garbage bin as plans for smaller class sizes.
I'm not saying these concerns aren't important, but importance, these days, is more about what a poll (of opinions from people who have received their information based on the results of earlier polls) indicates will provide the most votes for people whose views are only influenced more by lobbying dollars than poll results.
I am not completely cynical. A few good candidates probably will slip through, regardless of how insincere they sound as a group, and we will, as a nation, survive if not prevail.
I'm just saying that when any issue seems to be getting more attention than it is really worth, it probably is.

Wal-Mart protest a flop
So how did the great Wal-Mart protest go?
According to the Bentonville-based company, roughly 50 people who are actually on Walmart's payroll joined today's "walkout" nationwide. The protest organizers say "hundreds" participated. Even if 1,000 took part, that's still less than 1/10 of 1% of Walmart's 1.4 million associates.
If you can't find 50 disgruntled employees in an organization of 1.4 million, well, you're a refugee from the real world.
But look at that last number. 1.4 million people have jobs because of Wal-Mart. Then there's the downstream effect – suppliers, etc. My guess is you're looking at an organization responsible or at least partially responsible for 3 to 5 million jobs in this country.
And yet it is under attack.
Now, there were protests at Wal-Mart stores. But what should be clear is they weren't protests by Wal-Mart's vast majority of associates.
The "organization" which organized this flop, "OUR Wal-Mart", is calling it a clear success. I mean what else would they call it? The fact that it only drew 50 employees in protest (50 who I assume are now ex-employees) seems to have been waived away for the fact that there were some protests.
Woo – hoo.
So who were the protesters? You'll enjoy this:
Seems strange then that, according to organizer OUR Walmart's website, the group speaks for actual Walmart employees. In the "About Us" sectionof its website, this not-for-profit describes its mission as follows: "We envision a future in which our company treats us, the Associates of Walmart, with respect and dignity. We envision a world where we succeed in our careers, our company succeeds in business, our customers…" (Italics mine.)
OUR Walmart was listed as a subsidiary of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union (UFCWU) in a 2011 Department of Labor filing. While the union disputes that the two organizations are one and the same, one thing is certain: The organizers of today's protest represent not Walmart employees, but employees of grocery stores that compete with Walmart.
Oh, I'm shocked, shocked I tell you. Members from a union that represents the workers of stores that compete with Wal-Mart? Ah, of course – OUR Wal-Mart.
[W]hile the anti-Walmart movement claims to be about helping Walmart employees get better health care, improved working conditions, higher pay–not to mention preventing our children from the temptation of petty thievery—it's really primarily about stopping the threat of cheap groceries–the same ones that go a long way towards helping cash-strapped Americans put food on the table.
Emphasis mine … and the reason, as mentioned yesterday, is this model works. It appears, at least superficially, that all but 50 Wal-Mart employees agree. Given the consumer reaction to the protests (uh, nil, nada, zip – didn't slow down sales a bit), it's rather hard to understand how any sane person could call the protests a success. But then no one said those who put together OUR Wal-Mart are sane, did they?
Not surprisingly, a union's hand is found in a movement deceitfully claiming something that isn't true and trying to cause problems for a company that employs a huge number of Americans and is responsible, at least partially, for the jobs of a huge number more.
And, watching these shenanigans, you can't help but believe that unions are desperate – very desperate. Here's a company which is offering the same products as their union stores offer at significant discounts and that's an obvious threat to their continued employment. So they think nothing of starting a "movement" that is union backed and likely union financed to undermine that company by enticing workers, who apparently aren't at all as disgruntled or as upset as this group has claimed, into a job action that's guaranteed to be against their best interests and that would likely get them fired.
50 heeded the siren song and are likely now trying to figure out how to claim unemployment compensation.
And, they have the UFCWU and their apparent inability to think critically to thank for their folly.
Hey, maybe they can go apply at the union stores. I'm sure they're hiring, huh? I'm equally sure they're more than eager to hire someone who walked off their last job.
11 Responses to Wal-Mart protest a flop
Ah, and don't forget what a collaborative effort this "action" was. Soros had his mits on this, too, via MoveOn. AND OccupyWhatever.
Interesting how consistent the players are, innit…???
Quote: 50 heeded the siren song and are likely now trying to figure out how to claim unemployment compensation.
You don't get UI benefits if you're FIRED.
And you can't get fired from the company you don't work for in the first place.
The entitlement mentality is a trait of the ghetto mentality and/or criminal mind.
You racist….
This is the story of union strikes. When they first began to strike the coal mines, their were originally very few strikers. In those days, management used to kill them. These days they just threaten them with their jobs—that's enough to keep most employees from striking. Most workers are adults with families and get paid an average of $20,000; and a large proportion have to rely on food stamps to get by—effectively this means that the American tax payer is paying corporate welfare so Wal-Mart doesn't have pay a living wage.
What is this "living wage" you refer to?
I'd demand you support that BULLSHIT, but I know you have just dropped your lil' crap bomb d'jour, and are nowhere to be seen now.
You are just a liar.

Excellent product
Posted by Reviewer1391095 on Apr 29, 2011
I'm an 84 y.o. woman, and after using this product for a year, it's the first time that my bone density has actually increased. I love that it is a food-based product. It has a nice blend of complementary herbs and minerals to help maximize the calcium absorption. I'd recommend this to anyone who needs bone strengthening or support.
Posted by Reviewer1298897 on Oct 02, 2010
OsteoBuild is an excellent formula which includes citrate-malate (a reportedly highly absorbable form of calcium). It also has, which many bone formulas lack, Betaine HCl, very important for digestive support, as it decreases as people age. I would say this formula is a great non-MCHC based rival for bone supplementation though I do love Jarrow's excellent Bone-Up (MCHC based) too. So now, I take half the daily recommendation of each (OsteoBuild and Bone-Up) together and have the BEST ingredients of BOTH! And by the way, iHerb TOTALLY ROCKS!
Excellent product
Posted by Reviewer1779571 on May 08, 2010
this has the exact right balance of cal, mag, D, and the K vitamins that I was looking for.
bone building supplement

I think that this is one of the best products on the market for bone health.
Posted by Reviewer2485423 on Mar 02, 2012
perfect product!
Well Priced for what it does!
Posted by Reviewer3273441 on Jul 25, 2014
I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to stay vibrant and healthy, so many supplements we're not able to absorb through the way they are formulated. This is perfect and gentle on the stomach... Thanks iherb for a great service to Australia!!

Well, I can't say I like this product the smell is very green like alfalfa yuck. My hair felt dirty after I rinsed it out plus it had a slight greenish hue to it. If you have every used this color you will know what I mean. The process time was ridiculous over an hour and still the grey was not quite the color I would have liked. In addition to all of this it was very messy.
Posted by Reviewer1998842 on Apr 04, 2012
Unfortunately, this did not work at all for me. I followed the instructions, but the texture of the mix was too grainy to even stay applied to the hair. I had more on the floor than in my hair at the end. I tried one more time, adding oil in the mix to make less grainy. Unortunately, to no success. As for the color, it did not stain my hair at all.
Not for me!

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (25 votes).
In short: Much better route than last year - I'll be back again in 2013Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: My hometown race and next years will be superbIn full: I live in Oxford and know the city well but have not run around some of those areas before, especially miles 1-3. the start was a bit congested and maybe pens needed for expected finishing times but once past the start line the road opened up allowing you to get into your stride easily. Once you headed towards the city proper the route was fantastic and the road closures made it a pleasure to run. The meadow and river section was great and that led on to the toughest bit, which was about half a mile of uphill roads after about mile 10. The stadium was a brilliant finish area as well. The downsides that people have mentioned I think are mainly down to how new the event is. This is the first proper oxford half after the pilot last year, and by all accounts it has come on leaps and bounds since 2011. The organisers are listening to feedback and I am very confident that any bag issues and parking issues that people had will be eradicated before the 2013 race. Also, the bands on route were great, the support from the public was excellent and the coverage that I've seen by BBC radio and in the Oxford Mail was great. Finally the pacemakers who ran with the runners were great and encouraged the runners as well as keep their racepace. With their help I took 15mins off my previous best!Roll on 2013.Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: Nice course, great marshals - good race!In full: I thoroughly enjoyed this race. The course fairly was varied & especially lovely running through Christ Church Meadow & along the river. The marshals were wonderful & there were some good crowds in places, plus various bands providing musical inspiration. It was very special to have the legendary Sir Roger Bannister starting the race & lovely to run past the Iffley Road track where he made history.Having pacers was excellent - & I managed to get a 'comeback PB' of sub 2:15 after knee surgery. My only slight disappointment was that the small size tee shirts had run out by the time I finished.Overall - well organised & a pleasure to run.Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: An excellent race but with lessons to learnIn full: Great course - mostly flat with a bit of an uphill stratch between 10 and 11. Picturesque views and the stretch through the Mini plant was unusual but good fun. Some good cheering along the way from supporters, marshalls and water stations. Bands were great too. Ok, the bad stuff - luckily i didn't have to stand in the long queues for the bags. There was plenty of parking at the Kassam but there were pinch points on the way in that could have been better managed, and the way out crossed the race, making it impossible to get out until there were big gaps between race finishers.All worthwhile though as got a massive pb :) will definately be back!Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: A great day out, nice course and atmosphere but the organisation could be improved.In full: Ridiculous queues to get into the car parks - 45 minutes to go half a mile. And poor signage, there were hundreds if marshals in the science park car park who could have been better utilised on the road outside.The start was a bit of a non event, due to parking issues arrived late as did many others, lots of people wandering around aimlessly. I missed the mile markers from 3 to 7, and it was a real scrum at the finish to get medals and t shirts.The course went through varied scenery, the Mini car plant car park not as exciting as it the pre event literature had made out. From 7 miles onwards the course went through parks and along the river, and whilst narrow in places there were some great pockets of support. And the atmosphere generally couldn't be faulted and the bands playing along the course was a great touch. Overall it felt like a new event, with lots of rough edges but if the organisers take note of what makes some of the established races a success they have all the ingredients in Oxford for a great half.. Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Fun fun funIn full: I had a great time in this race. It was lovely to start and finish at the stadium, and the atmosphere along the route was excellent - lots of people clapping etc. (Top marks to the bloke with the sign saying "Run like you've stolen something"). The eight bands along the route just added to the fun and really encouraged you to run faster. It was also a nice flattish route which allowed me to get a PB. The run through Christchurch Meadows and along the river was very scenic as well. The bag drop queue was, as other people have mentioned, epic, but I expect this will be improved next year. My suggestion for general organisation: have the signs to toilets, info, bag drop etc. that can be seen above the crowd. I think this would help people to organise themselves a bit better. But over all, I had a fabulous time and would like to return next year.Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: My 1st half and it wont be the last !In full: A good races with the chance to see the some of the nicer side of oxford and good PB potential. Start section was quite narrow, but the stretch along the Thames tow path was lovely (all be it narrow in places if in a big group) and a great atmosphere along the way.I was very glad i did not have to use the bag storage with long queues at both drop off & collection, but overall organisation very good, with good marhalls and water points; Could have had slighty better marshalling of arriving traffic before the race to speed time to park (at Kassam), but not enough to dissuade entering again next year.Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: Fun and Friendly. Narrow in places so get to the front early if you want to set a time. Great for a firstIn full: Right lets get the bad stuff out of the way:1. Getting there by car was awful. Plenty of parking, but my god the queues.2. Baggage collection was appalling both before and after. The queue for took almost as long as the race!3. At places it was really narrow with traffic going past inches away, not unsafe but hard to pass.Right good bits:1. Very friendly, lots of chatting before the start.2. Reasonably picturesque with nice stuff to look at.3. Pace runners were brilliant and were really helping before I got injured.4. Lots of medics!5. Plenty of drinks stations.6. A great goody bag with recovery gel and some walnutty cake thingy was very welcome.7. Massage tents that looked great, but as it took so long to get my wallet back I wasn't able to use it!All in all a pretty good showing for the second event and I think it will only get better, well worth a punt next year!RECOMMENDEDDate of review: October 14, 2012
In short: lovely route from mile 6In full: I travelled up from London for this one and will do again next year. I stayed at the holiday inn which is RIGHT BY the kassam stadium and they kindly locked my case in their store room so i didn't have to endure what looked like a very long queue afterwards!Route - flat, gorgeous from mile 6 and the reason i'd coma again. I kind of enjoyed the dual carriageway bit to be honest, kind of cool having your own lane ;)Loved having the Cliff bar to eat at the end. Was a shame we couldn't get our times becaue they put the chip timer tent too close to the finish and it caused a bottleneck, but that's minor. I'm not fussed about the technical t shirt though it was a nice addition, shame the medal had a mini on it but i guess that's how they were paid for... I was sad i couldn't hear sir roger bannister at the start cos the speakers were rubbish! :(Date of review: October 14, 2012
In short: organisation was great for the parking and run, let down by ridiculous wait for bags In full: Really enjoyed the run and it was great to have support on the route. Lovely to run by the river and see a glimpse of scenic Oxford. Really need to sort baggage collection as waiting was almost as long as the race itself and allowed the post race chill to set in Date of review: October 14, 2012

For bus-riding OSU grads, the jig is up
The Columbus Dispatch - March 27, 2012 11:02 AM
Turns out Ohio State University grads were scamming COTA for free rides afterall.
The transit authority reports that OSU ridership -- "free" for students with valid BuckID cards -- is down 7.3 percent so far this year. And paid ridership on campus-area routes is up.
Since Jan. 1, OSU students, who pay $9 per quarter through the university for unlimited bus rides, have been required to swipe their ID cards when they board. Campus-area routes along High Street, Kenny Road and the Lennox Town Center have a combined 30,000 additional paid riders.
Until the technology upgrade, it was widely known among grads and other former students that a quick flash of an expired university ID was enough to get past the driver. COTA called the free-ride scam negligible and said it wasn't the reason for the new policy.
ID swiping allows the university and transit authority to collect better data on demand so they can tailor future services for OSU riders, officials said.

I purchased this set for my son, who is 17 months and was one of the best things- he has learned so much with these animals. They are a great size and pretty safe in softness. These are great as visual learning. We have all of the Jumbo Series animal sets! I highly recommend it. They are all great investments for learning. I just wish they would have more animals to the sets instead of just 5 or 6. They are excellent for little hands!

I love how big the animals are. Very fun for creative play, but the legs weren't all even sizes so the animals wouldn't always stand up. Also, the paint job on the animals was horrible. Lots of random marks. And the color very drab. This box that I got looked like a box of animals that should have been rejected due to poor quality.

Disappointing. The smell is awful
By Tanja
from Boston
About Me First Time Parent, Working Parent
I bought them for my 2 years old son, they attracted me because of the size. It was very disappointing when they came. Animals do not look natural, like cow or even horse. The smell is awful, it is a mixture of paint and plastic, you do not want to really play with such toy. I guess I return them, I do not think Ic can fix this smell even if a wash them many times. I do not recommend this product, get Schleich instead, it's pricey but never had any issues with smell.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Very Engaging!
By CA Teacher

About Me Education Oriented
I originally bought this item to use in my classroom. I'm currently on Thanksgiving break and with my nieces in town, I let them play with these animals during their visit. They are 2 and 3 years old. They enjoyed playing with these animals (along w/jungle animals and pets) and were engaged for about 30-45 minutes over the course of a few days. They participated in imaginative play and used them to enhance their zoo trip conversation. These animals are durable and the girls could easily grip all the animals due to their big size. What wasn't so great? Some of the animals were really big and the proportions were a little odd - not this kit so much, but the pets (dog & cat) compared to the other sets (jungle, zoo) were somewhat huge (monkey was much smaller). I would recommend and know that kids will enjoy playing w/these animals.
Great starter for any child!

About Me Mum of 3
These farm animals are a great starter for any child to learn about everyday animals. They are very tactile for small hands and my daughter spends hours making them move and making the sounds. Although they have a seal mark around some of the animals they are sturdy and durable. The only thing odd about the set is the pig looks as though it has nail varnish on!

My 2 year old daughter absolutely LOVES this grouping of animals. Great toys to reinforce learning animal names and sounds.

Not as pictured
By JB

About Me Stay At Home Parent
The set of animals we received does not look like the animals pictured. The horse is painted yellow, the cow is deflated and misshapen, all of the animals have bad paint jobs with smears of the wrong color here and there. The base on the goose is misshapen, the sheep leans, the pig has a hole on the top of his head. Very poorly made. Cheaply manufactured. Disappointed.
Merchant response: We are so sorry that you have received a defective product. We would love to send you a replacement. Please our contact customer service team and we will send a new one out to you. Thanks!
Just what I was looking for
By Grammama
from West Kingston, RI
We used the animals to fill out a barn and corral setup with animals that would be bigger and more stable than what came with the setup. Models that constantly fall over are very distracting and disappointing to little ones.
very please

Certification of the 26th Amendment
The 26th Amendment to the Constitution, lowering the voting age to 18, was certified by General Services Administrator Robert Kunzig on July 1, 1971. In a ceremony at the White House, President Richard M. Nixon, with several 18-year-olds watching, also signed as a witness. He took the unprecedented step of inviting three 18-year-olds to also sign the new amendment.

Topic: Getting started with RadRails..
So I might be doing some rails work in a Windows environment now and I'm trying to get a development environment setup.
I installed Ruby via the one-click installers, install Rails and ZenTest via gems.
I downloaded RadRails and it seems to work in general; however the rake test tab in the bottom panel seems to not work. I tried adding the path to rake in the preferences (c:\ruby\bin\rake.bat -- default location given that the one-click installer was installed into c:\ruby ) and it still breaks with a message like:
-e:3:in `load': c:\ruby\bin\rake.bat:1: parse error, unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting $ (SyntaxError)
from -e:3
(Not sure why RadRails is cutting off the trace like that either....
There was no non-.bat executable in the bin directory, should there be?
THere's no task names in the drop down box in the rake tab, should there be?

It's ComFest weekend, Columbus! (How did we get here already?) And that means you're either planning your weekend around the Goodale Park festival, or avoiding it like the plague. Good news either way, as there's plenty to do this weekend whatever your preferences. As always, here's what I'd do if I could be everywhere all the time.
Pro-tip: ComFest is best enjoyed when you can actually maneuver the park's grounds. Which means you should aim for Friday afternoon, anytime Saturday prior to, say, 4, and Sunday. Of the three, however, Friday's where it's at.
"Jodorowsky's Dune" at Drexel Theatre
Angela Perley & The Howlin' Moons, Nick D' & The Believers, Damn the Witch Siren ComFest After Party at Rumba Cafe
"'Til Death" at Gateway Film Center
Comfest After party with The Wet Darlings, The Rust Belt Rumble Family Band
Matt Sowell, Mike Shiflet, Brian Werstler at It Looks Like It's Open
If you're in the mood for music this weekend and absolutely must avoid ComFest, The Antlers' show at A&R gets my vote. Any band named after a song from The Microphones will always get my vote.
Cadaver Dogs at Newport Music Hall
"Out.Look" at Cultural Arts Center
Bike High! Or Ride to the Air Force Museum
O-GEE Old-School Hip-Hop Party at Strongwater Food and Spirits
The Grandview Hop in Grandview

Narcan administered to woman in Pomfret
Nation's brave saluted
Memorial Day 2013 in Dunkirk was a combination of sorrow and pride, history and future, young and old, and celebration and decorum. The area's 11 military-related organizations that make up the Dunkirk Joint Veterans Council were instrumental in planning the day's events.
Memorial Day is a time to recognize loss.
Master of Ceremonies John D'Agostino said, "Since our last gathering here in 2012, our region has lost some 90 military veterans. They served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Persian Gulf War and Afghanistan."
This year's memorial services in Dunkirk were dedicated to the late Joseph C. Ricotta and Peter Chudzik. Both served in the U.S. Army; Chudzik from 1944-1947 and Ricotta from 1954-1955. Both were active with the Dunkirk Joint Veterans Honor Guard, serving at military funeral services in various capacities.
In his invocation, the Rev. Walter Werbicki of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Church reminded the audience of one of the beatitudes (Matthew 5:4) "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
It was with great pride and pleasure that the Joint Veterans Council honored Andrew Dziduch who served served in both World War II and Korea. He was given the grand marshal plaque.
Pride was also evident throughout the day in the way the veterans carried themselves and executed assigned duties such as placing wreaths, lowering and raising the flag, participating in the firing squad and playing taps. It was in each step marched and salute given.
Principal guest speaker was Charles St. George, a World War II veteran who served in the U.S. Navy. As the country loses more and more of these veterans yearly, his story becomes even more compelling.
He started with a joke.
"The bad news is I lost my speech. … The good news is my memory is short," he said.
Actually, his memory seemed pretty good as he simply told what he experienced in World War II aboard the USS Alaska, first going through the canal (Panama) up the West Coast, to Honolulu Hawaii and to the Philippines sea.
Describing the action he saw from his ship on Iwo Jima, he said, "I saw the Marines. … I hoped some would stay alive."
His ship also saw action in the Battle of Okinawa. St. George described the Kamikaze pilots and the task of escorting the USS Franklin.
He was still on board when the ship was in the China Sea, training for the invasion of Japan.
St. George was able to supply some interesting experiences. He knew his brother was on a navy ship. Even though there was radio silence, the ships employed signals to let the brothers exchange messages.
Guest speaker John Fedyszyn was also concerned with history. Vietnam veteran Fedyszyn, who served with the U.S. Marine Corps from 1967-1969, documents the history of local veterans for the OBSERVER. He now knows that local people were involved in military history in many ways, and called on all of us to learn more.
He said,"I now know how it feels to sail across the Atlantic in an LST (landing ship tanks) how cold it really was at the Battle of the Bulge, what goes on in your mind when jumping out of a plane over France fully loaded with combat gear. I know how it feels walking down a street in Tokyo only one week after the war with Japan ended. Do you know what your veteran did? Did you ever ask?"
Marine Corps Master Sgt. Brian Schneider, a veteran who began his military career in 1986 and served 21 years, pointed to the future. He said, "Thank all of you who came to this service. I want to especially thank those who brought children … they are our future."
Participants in the parade included veterans of World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, and the Global War on Terror. Firefighters from Local 616, as well as volunteers from Dunkirk, East Town of Dunkirk and West Town of Dunkirk marched or rode in fire trucks. The Elks Club carried its large flag. The Rubbermaid Brigade, a drumming group directed by Daniel Van Wey and Terry Roof, boasted on its sign "We're so old we get towed."
Groups of young people participated – the Junior Reserve Officer Training Program from Dunkirk High School, the Dunkirk High School and Dunkirk Middle School bands, the Little League and T-ball teams, the Kosciuszko Club softball team, the Girl Scouts, the Children's Ministries of Iglesia Getsemani, the Upward Bound Program, and the Central Christian Academy.
Parade spectators ranged from senior citizens to small children who were excited to gather the candy thrown by some of the marchers. Applause rippled up and down the street as different groups marched or performed.
Memorial Day is the unofficial beginning of the summer season. Balloons, hot dogs, and candy were part of the day. So were the Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America performed by Hannah Wentz and Echo Taps performed by Barney Kuzara and Shawn Ebert.

Our primary service is tutoring, in many subject areas and in study and learning skills. T/LC services are provided free of charge to students currently enrolled in academic classes at Delta. You must have a Delta student ID or other picture ID to obtain walk-in tutoring.
Most tutoring is on a walk-in basis. Professional staff may occasionally make appointments to see students. Most general education courses, including math, biology, chemistry, CST, social sciences such as psychology or political science, humanities such as history, and English including WRT and RDG, are covered in staff hours and student tutor walk-in hours. Some courses may have Study Groups; Structured Learning Assistance is provided for WRT090, MTH092, and paired sections of MTH092/096.
Walk-in hours can be very busy, especially from about 10 am to 3 or 4 pm. You may get the help you need in just a few minutes. But if you have several questions or lots of work to do, you should plan on at least an hour. A walk-in tutor will probably work with you part of that time, and check with you periodically.
You will need Adobe Acrobat reader to open PDF files. Download the latest version here.
Structured Learning Assistance (SLA) is a program of mandatory directed study and practice workshops currently attached to all sections of WRT 090 Introduction to Academic Writing, to all sections of MTH092 Basic Math, and to paired sections of MTH092 and MTH096 Prealgebra. A Structured Learning Assistance Facilitator is present in the class and conducts out-of-class workshops. All students in SLA classes must attend study sessions. Some instructors may have different grade requirements for mandatory attendance.
Workshops are scheduled immediately before or after class. The times are listed in the Section Information when you search for classes online in MyDelta and will appear on your schedule.
Study Groups provide a forum for students in a class to work together for studying and learning. A major goal of study groups is to empower students and help them be responsible for their own learning. Working together makes learning challenging, meaningful and enjoyable. Groups may be unfacilitated or an instructor may recommend a student facilitator to the Tutoring Coordinator.

Ok, I'm new to tea, so I'm hoping someone can clear this up for me.
I've found I really enjoy Twinings English Breakfast and I've had my current canister for a month and a half or so.
I usually infuse a cup at a time with a ball infuser (more of a wand with a small egg shaped ball on the end - half of which had holes) and brew for 3-5 minutes with no stewing occurring. I add a little milk before adding the water. However, I recently switched to a mesh basket infuser and have found that even brewing for a minute or so gives me a bit of a bitter taste.
Am I just now truly tasting English Breakfast at full strength (now that the leaves can really expand), or is this getting stewed somehow? Hopefully it's the latter, because I've got a lot of cups left in this tin
Thanks in advance!

Neph was just promoted to Junior Colorist! Woo C:
I stole this from Mobbu. <3
- - -
STARTS: Thursday, January 12th, 2012. - 4 PM EST.
ENDS: Friday, January 13th - 12 PM EST.
This is my first breeding as Junior Colorist. C: PLEASE make sure you read the information I post below. It has information on what to expect.
- - -
I probably won't roll anymore than two, but you never know!
• 1 Unedited Breeding Pair --
• 1 Edited Breeding Pair --
- • Post certed Soqs -- I like seeing the Soqs without having to click every link so please post the image of the cert (or small sized uncert for those who lack certed Soq at the time)
• Names! -- Please provide full names for both the Soq entered and their owners/co-owners
• Forms -- Please fill out the form correctly. If I spot something wrong I will point it out and you can repost it
• No editing forms/posts! -- Once I put the couple in the main list I will not be re-reading any of the information put. I'll also be making a mental note of my CC picks as they are entered so I will only go back through them when I pick my final 2.
Mistakes? -- If you need to fix something (be it by my request or your own) post it in thread that you are voiding your first entry to fix a mistake and that you'll be reposting, so I can edit the list accordingly.
• A Reminder That:Each person can be involved in no more than two pairs in each raffle, and only win two slots per month.
One person MAY now enter both of the couples they are involved with themselves if they need to, but make CERTAIN that couples are not posted twice. Work out ahead of time with your breeding partners who will be responsible for entering in a pair. If they are entered twice, they will be disqualified from that raffle. Furthermore, you must have basket rights to the breeding (and therefore also own or co-own one of the parents) in order to post the breeding. No Proxying.
If you do not have breeding rights to a soquili you co-own, then it does not count towards your two-couple limit, but you may NOT receive a basket from that breeding in any way, shape, or form.
You may only win two breedings per month total (CC or raffled breeding slots. Bribes do not count). If someone wins a breeding raffle slot, then they may only enter one couple for the remainder of the month's raffles.
|[align=center][b][color=steelblue][size=16] UNEDITED PAIR! [/b][/size][/color][/align]
[align=center][b][size=16][color=gray] EDITED PAIRS! [/b][/size][/color][/align]
[b]Parents and Owners[/b] Mother's name here [Owner's name here] x Father's name here [Owner's name here]
[b]Name, image, and owner(s) of mother:[/b] (WRITE FULL SOQ/OWNER NAMES HERE PLEASE)
[b]Name, image, and owner(s) of father:[/b] (WRITE FULL SOQ/ OWNER NAMES HERE PLEASE)
[b]Co Ownership?:[/b] (List who isn't getting baskets, AND link to the co-owner agreement)
[b]Teepees:[/b] (While this is not mandatory it would make my life easier if you were able to post links to the teepees of the owners for easy stat checking later on)
[b]Throwbacks?:[/b] (Saying yes gives the colorist a bit more freedom in the breeding. Throwbacks can come from previous generations from the parents, this mean grandparents/etc. For 1st gens this would mean mystery traits. NOTE: Just because you say yes doesn't mean you'll get throwback traits. It only gives the colorist the OK to play around. Nothing more. You also don't get to choose which throwback traits are picked.)
[b]Link to previous Generations:[/b] (If said Yes to Throwbacks please link to all parents (and grandparents/etc) NOTE: LINKS ONLY NO IMG TAGGING)
[b]Link to Breeding Agreement:[/b]
I am a part time employee at Soq, three breedings every two months. If you are not comfortable waiting, please DO NOT enter these slots. I take my time on these and my work reflects that. If you complain that I am taking too long, I will work on everyone's breeding before yours. I'm quite passive-aggressive. ;D
I do have my limitations and I will be upfront about them. I am not comfortable with heavy gore/tentacles/body pieces hanging everywhere. I will still do my best to accommodate everyone. If your adult Soquili has a full set of clothes on, pieces of it may be passed down, but none of the children will ever have full outfits.
More information to come in the future.
Since rules change periodically when the need arises, please make sure you are up to date on everything listed here. THIS IS A NEW BREEDING RULES INFO THREAD!!
Failure to do so will result in disqualification. I am not obligated to inform you if you have broken a rule.
|BREEDING AND PERMISSIONS REMINDER Wrote:
It has been required for both owners to post permission for the breeding in the MATES AND PERMISSION THREAD prior to the close of the raffle in order to be eligible for raffles now, so hopefully everyone has gotten the idea. However, just as a reminder:
UNLESS BOTH PARTIES HAVE POSTED PERMISSION IN THE PERMISSION THREAD (not this one, but the permission thread) BY THE TIME THE RAFFLE CLOSES, THEY ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RAFFLE AND WILL BE REMOVED. This also includes co-owners; if you co-own a soquili and your agreement involves agreeing on mates or breeding, BOTH co-owners have to have posted permission.
|CO-OWNERSHIP REMINDER Wrote:
If one of the co-owners of a horse in a pairing is NOT getting baskets from the breeding, please put the co-ownership agreement link in the form in the appropriate place and say who does or does not have breeding rights. We will assume that any pairing submitted without a form counts the breeding toward ALL co-owners. If it's not in the co-ownership agreement, the co-owner forfeiting will need to post here saying as much.
Remember guys if a owner has no rights to this breeding it MEANS NO RIGHTS. Aka, you cannot gift nor co own a basket with the person with no rights, Ala the new rules instated.
|Other Wrote:
Major mistakes that are spotted after winners have been rolled, such as triple-entries into the breeding raffle or lack of permission can result in a nullification of the win. It is in your best interest to spot these ahead of time so that they can be corrected, or extraneous pairs removed instead of nullifying all of your chances.

William E. Simon Olympic Endowment for the Support of Athletes General Information and Instructions
What is the William E. Simon Olympic Endowment for the Support of Athletes?
The William E. Simon Olympic Endowment for the Support of Athletes was established in 1998 by Mr. William E. Simon, Sr., former U.S. Olympic Committee President and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. Grants for training and competition are awarded to athletes showing financial need. By creating this fund, Mr. Simon recognized the importance and many personal benefits of participating in sports.
How is the endowment administered?
Application information is distributed and processed by the USOC's Sport Performance and Paralympic Divisions. General responsibility for management of the endowment, including all award decisions, resides with a Board of Trustees. Awards are made once a year.
What can the grant be used for?
Grants are intended for training and competition expenses.
Are the grants sufficient to pay all training and competition costs?
Because training and competition costs vary widely, these grants are intended to provide only partial support.
Can grants be received more than once?
While this is possible, multiple grants to a single individual would be rare. The Trustees would like to help as many athletes as possible.
Who is eligible?
General athlete eligibility requirements:
Preference will be given to athletes who receive minimal or no support from the USOC, U.S. Paralympics or sport national governing body. Preference is also given to athletes who have not made a previous Olympic or Paralympic Team.
What are the chances of receiving a grant?
The chances of receiving a grant depend on the number of applications; however, the Trustees have complete discretion in selecting grant recipients and award amounts.
If a grant is awarded, how much can an athlete expect to receive?The endowment does not have a set grant amount. The endowment funds are invested, and a portion of the interest is used for awards. Amounts will vary depending on available funds in a given year, the number of qualified applicants, and the meritorious circumstances of a particular applicant. There are years where the grant may not be awarded due to declines in the value of the endowment.
How does an athlete apply?
Athletes must complete the online application (please see "Online Application Process" below) and upload the following:
Recommendation letters may accompany the grant or be sent separately as long as the reference's contact information is included on the letter.
Additionally, athletes may submit by uploading supporting documents such as newspaper articles, statistics and other pertinent information in an electronic format such as Adobe PDF or a picture file. Please use your name in the filename of the uploaded document(s).
What should be included in the essay?
The essay should address why the athlete is a worthy grant recipient. In particular the athlete should explain:
Who should write the letters of recommendation?
This is entirely up to the athlete but teachers, counselors, coaches, and employers are good choices since they can usually comment on overall character, achievement, and promise. The recommendation letters must contain the name, address, and telephone number of the writer; and if not uploaded with the application, must arrive by email (below), by the application deadline. The USOC is not responsible for late, misdirected, or undeliverable applications.
How much does it cost to apply and what is the deadline?
There is no charge to apply for this grant. For Fall 2012, completed applications, including letters of recommendation, must be received by 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time on Monday, October 8, 2012; no exceptions, as the system will no longer receive applications or letters of recommendation after this time.
Please note under "Online Application Process" below, that the last day to request a password is Wednesday October 3, 2012 at 5:00 p.m. Mountain Time. Incomplete applications will not be considered, including but not limited to: missing essay; missing letter(s) of recommendation; missing financial information, etc... Applicants are strongly encouraged to apply early as it is not always possible to verify receipt of complete applications in time for the deadline. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure recommendation letters have been sent and are received by the deadline, if not attached to the application.
When will applicants be notified?
Award nominations are reviewed by the Trustees annually, usually at year-end. We anticipate that award decisions will be finalized and applicants notified by January 31.
Terms and Conditions of Grant
An award will be paid in two installments. If selected, the applicant will receive a notification letter and half of the award will be processed when a W-9 is received by the USOC. In addition to an acknowledgement to the Trustees, the athlete will be asked to submit a progress report later in the grant year, describing achievements in training and competition before the second payment will be processed. Awards will be made payable only to the applicant. Because awards may impact athlete eligibility for high school or collegiate athletics, applicants should verify, before applying, whether winning such an award would jeopardize eligibility.
Online Application Process
