History in the makingPosted Tuesday, January 20, 2009, at 4:07 PM
Many elements of Barack Obama's inauguration have been compaired to that of Abraham Lincoln, who was also faced with a difficult time in history. The 16th president had to be smuggled into the city on an all-night train ride for his inauguration in 1861, because of fears of assassination.
This era is also being compared to that of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who held the office for four terms and died shortly after his fourth inauguration in 1945. Roosevelt is credited by many with leading the country out of the Great Depression of the 30's.
The account of Andrew Jackson's inauguration in 1829 are pretty wild: He opened the doors of the White House and his supporters came charging in, pushing and shoving, wolfing down the food and drink and standing in the chairs with muddy boots.
The 1985 inauguration of Ronald Reagan was so cold that the inaugural parade was cancelled. The outcome was far better than that of William Henry Harrison in March, 1841, when the 68-year-old Harrison gave a 90-minute speech in an ice storm without a hat or overcoat. He caught cold and died a month later of pneumonia.
John Adams was on such poor terms with his successor, Thomas Jefferson, that he didn't even stay for the oath of office, instead riding back home to Massachusetts right away.
Of all the inaugural addresses given throughout the years, the most memoral seem to be those of four presidents:
* George Washington, who spoke of "the preservation of the sacred fire of liberty."
* Abraham Lincoln, who said, "With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
* Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose words were "...let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
* John F. Kennedy: "The energy, the faith, the devotion which we bring to this endeavor will light our country and all who serve it-and the glow from that fire can truly light the world. And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."
Today Obama gave his own Inauguration speech, lasting about 18 minutes. As usual, the phrasing was balanced with that beautiful parallel sentence structure: "I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors."
The sentences are characterized by a balance that fits Obama's speaking style. The most important part of the sentence lies in the end. There's a rhythm, somewhat like the King James version of the Bible: "Time and again these men and women struggled and sacrificed and worked till their hands were raw so that we might live a better life. They saw America as bigger than the sum of our individual ambitions; greater than all the differences of birth or wealth or faction." There's a kind of poetic quality.
Most of the sentences are short: "This is the journey we continue today." " Our capacity remains undiminished." As he delivers the speech, there's a deliberateness that gives the audience time to hear and digest each word.
The speech is full of visual imagery: "America, in the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children's children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God's grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations."
I give the speech a thumbs up. It wasn't as flamboyant as early speeches, but I think the intent was to be serious and sober, to urge Americans to think, to persevere, and to be patient.
The day is winding down to a close on this Inauguration Day, 2009. I'm sure we'll hear analysis after analysis of the speech, the parade, the ten inaugural balls, Michelle Obama's wardrobe, and every minute detail of the events. Later today, we'll hear whether Ted Kennedy is okay, after he had to be taken from the dinner in an ambulance.
Amazing, amazing day!!! At least twice I held my breath as the Obamas got out of the limosine and walked along the parade route; however, the security seems to have been up to the challenge.
From remote Tillman, Missouri, this is your rural reporter Madeline, signing off on a historical day.

Well, well.......I thought the events ended at 4 p.m., but my daughter just called me all excited about the Marine band: "Are you watching the parade, Mom?" Nooo...Oprah has a Civil Rights history program on. What gives? Then, I see the KFVS note scroll across the bottom of the page: "If you want to watch the CBS coverage of the parade, go to the KFVS website for live coverage."
Yeah, on a dial-up computer out here in the boonies?? So much for that idea!
My question is -- Whose decision was it to do this? KFVS? I'll bet so! Thanks, local TV!

I had to remind myself to breathe as the inauguration came to be. My class watched with me,and they were thoroughly intent, also. We can face tomorrow with hope. We must remember that there is so much to be "fixed" that we won't see many results for a long time, but some improvements will be evident very soon. I feel so blessed to live in this country!

Let us all come together for awhile and see what a nation can do to solve our problems. Blessings to you all as we have lived history today.

Thanks, Teach, for the tour through our past inaugurations. Let us all remember that the anthem, "We Shall Overcome", applies to humanity as a whole, and that, while we are recalling our pasts, contemplating our futures, and resolving our individual conflicts about what those futures may hold, let us not resort to the analytical, but hold to the inner spiritual strengths with which we have all been endowed. God Bless the man from Illinois, and God Bless America, now, we gotta roll up them sleeves!!!.........kkcaver

Barack Hussein sounded a little odd today because he had no tele-prompters. Very funny.
But seriously, Barack Hussein, (along with Hillary) has already said that he is going to side against Israel. And as a Christian, what country can survive w/o God's country?

Kkcaver47, you're not a bad writer, yourself - nice balanced sentences!
C'mon, Morrison, the honeymoon isn't even over yet! You and FJGuy need to give it up on the teleprompter theme! There's only so much a teleprompter can do: They aren't magic, ya know!!

Gone: what evidence do you have that improvements will happen soon? I say we all come together too, unless you feel the need to boo George W. and laugh at Cheney for being in a wheelchair. That is perfectly OK. Can't wait for all limitations on abortion to be removed, for Gitmo to be shutdown so the masterminds of 9-11 can come to the US....all with the swoop of the pen held by our new savior. Will respect our leader as a man, but do not have to support him at all times.

Would also include one or both of Reagan's addresses in with some of the best. I would say he spread hope and optimism to most families at a time when we needed it very badly. All without the help of a drooling media.

I attempted to have my boys watch the Inauguration yesterday, but they refused. I told them that, even if they don't care for what Obama believes in, it's still a historical day that they will most likely learn about in high school...but the still refused. I said, "Hey! Wouldn't it be cool to say, 'I watched that!' whenever they open their textbooks to that particular chapter?" They still wanted no part of it. I just hope their refusal isn't a sign of what's to come.
-- Posted by mrsdolphin on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 9:55 AM
Hoon, you can't assume that others would react inhumanely just because you might. First, there is only one Savior--and He is in control of all. (not the president) Next, I can't imagine why ANYONE would laugh because someone is in a wheelchair. Would YOU? I can't deny that I had a silent "yeehaw" dying to escape as GW climbed the stairs to fly away. Silent, I emphasize. Furthermore, I believe you'll be waiting a long time for abortions to be freely performed in this country. Where did you come up with that? Lastly, the attempted solution at Guantanamo has not worked thus far--so why should we continue doing what has not worked? I think OUR president is surrounding himself with people who will assist in developing wise strategies to make our country safer and stronger. One man/woman can't do it alone. I respect the choices Obama is making to share in recovery. Let's join as a family of Americans. I have never been so proud to be an American as I am today.

gonenow, thanks for a great post. Yeehaw..
-- Posted by changedname on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 11:45 AM
You are correct....one Savior. I typed savior.
I am proud EVERY day to be an American. Why has Gitmo not worked? What military people have told you this? Every friend or relative I have who has been to Iraq claims our work there is successful, worthy, and necessary.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 11:46 AM
You treat a former President who has to be given at least an ounce of credit for our country not being attacked again exactly the opposite of how you demand our new President to be treated. I will treat President Obama with respect, but I do not have to support everything he does.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 11:48 AM
Everybody has a right to believe as he chooses in this country. That's just one reason we can celebrate being Americans. We don't have to agree, do we?
I believe that the war in Iraq was declared too hastily. Too many men and women have lost their lives, or forever had lives changed by a war that might have been avoided with a little bit of diplomacy. This is my main reason for resenting GW. I do highly respect our service men and women, and I wish they could all come home right now! (By the way,I didn't see his daughters put on combat boots) Another reason for a lack of respect is the fact that I've watched the rich get richer, and the hard-working folks forfeit far too much--sometimes all. There are too many people who cannot go to the doctor when they're sick, or buy their medicine when they need it. Somebody has to take notice. I don't think those problems really mattered to our former president. None of this is news, but for some reason, Hoon, you seem not to have understood it.
-- Posted by GONENOW on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 2:57 PM
gonenow, I was in the Air Force during the Korean Conflict and I agree, we could have bombed Iraq for years and never put a troop on the ground saving over 4000 American men and women. We could have finally found Saddam, but no, we had to invade. Check with the bomb making factory in Oklahoma, we started making explosives over 12 months before the invasion of Iraq. It could have been handled differently, we could have talked for years, we've been talking to the Palestians and Israel for over 30 years and no ground invasion has been started by the USA.
-- Posted by changedname on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 3:12 PM
dexterite--your comments are wise, and based on personal experience they warrant attention. Iraq is much like the Vietnam War, which ended so many lives needlessly. My husband came home from Vietnam, but he is not the same carefree kid who left. He was fortunate enough to come home, but he watched friends die and suffer--and for what benefit? We rejoice when any soldier comes home, but we know that a part of that soldier is forever lost.
-- Posted by GONENOW on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 4:06 PM
Okay, this said, I'd like to declare a sort of truce, no more bad mouthing former President George Bush, he's home in Texas now, we have a new leader in Washington, my hope and prayers are for a great day coming when all are employed again that want to work, health care for all who need it, and see the return of our troops from foreign lands as much as possible. I believe we can do it, nothing is impossible if we all work together.
-- Posted by changedname on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 4:19 PM
I had to work yesterday thru the inuauguration. I heard bits and pieces of the address and heard most of it on Cspan which was aired in the Hospital lobby where my wife works as i waited to pick her up. we don't own a TV but get most of our news from radio. I get some from the internet.
Obama's idea of our country helping poorer countries fits right into global socialism. Socialist government is paid for with income and property taxes.
The media is bending over backwards and worshiping the very ground Obama walks on. It's sickening. Well, he's just a human being! He is not the annointed one! He is not the Messiah sent from heaven to take care of all our needs. Big government is not the answer! Reagan said, "Government is the problem." There's alot more that bothered me about this inauguration. Obama is very pro-abortion rights. Life begins at conception. Interestingly, Martin Luther King's niece is opposed to Barak Obama because of her pro-life views. Sunday was Sanctity of Human Life Sunday, so designated to mark the Sunday before the Roe v Wade decision on Jan. 22, 1973. i lowered my flag half staff Sunday to show my support of the millions of unborn babies who have been murdered and sacrificed to the god of convenience. Unfortunately, Obama plans on signing into law the Freedom Of Choice Act which would lift all bans on abortion. He also plans on lifting the ban on tax dollars going to pay for abortions overseas. My flag flies halfstaff through Friday of this week.
-- Posted by swift on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 4:45 PM
It just didn't seem like it was an inauguration party for me. It seemed like a party for the West and East coast.
Great speech I guess. Everyone tried for the past six months to make it look and feel like the world was coming to an end and the great savior was on the way. I am sorry, but it just isn't true. I still remember Carter.
Hope the guy is sussessful in his Presidency, but not successful in raising taxes or having the government take over one more program and that includes health care.
As for Gitmo, it has been a success. Those monsterous animalistic individuals are locked up and being prevented from attacking me or anyone else. Who cares if they are water boarded. My gosh, they cut the heads off of women and men who publicly disagree with their beliefs. Remember the newspaper reporter who went to Pakistan to talk with them and they slit his throat and cut his head off and published the pictures on the internet. All because he was of Jewish descent. Leave them there until they rot.
Reverse the don't ask don't tell policy in the military? OK, but are you going to change the UCMJ which establishes sodomy as a crime? Hope that plan fails to meet with success too.
Let the Bush tax cuts expire? Can't support that one either. Every person who PAYS TAXES benefited from that bill.
Pull out of Iraq, sure but don't be fooled. The Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) has already been signed with the Iraq government establishing the withdrawal date. I guess I am the only one who observed that happen.
I hope he prosecutes the bankers, but if he plans to give them more money I hope he is unsuccessful in that. I doubt he feels the way I do. Why should he? If an inauguration party has a cost of 153,000,000 dollars. What does a few trillion dollars really mean?
I hope he thanked George Bush for taking care of a lot of the hard stuff before he left office like allowing Israel to bomb Hamas so they would be willing to accept a peace treaty when he got in office. I hope he is successful in attaining a permanent peace for Israel.
I hope he brings our troops home from Europe and South Korea where they have been for more than 50 years. I hope he brings our troops home from Kosovo where they have been since Clinton was President.
Otherwise, good luck Mr. President.

GONENOW, I don't know if I have ever read so many statements by a blogger that I disagree with than what you have just posted. Let's start with assuming you are over 50 years of age since you said your husband fought in Vietnam. Therefore, how in the HELL do you make the comment "I have never been so proud to be an American as I am today." Have you been under a rock the last 30 years? Secondly, the Vietnam and Iraq War have nothing in common and the Democratic Party that you support voted to go to war in Iraq. Third, what in the HELL are you talking about when you said " I didn't see George W. Bush's daughters put on combat boots." What does that matter? I bet 99% of the Democraps that voted to go to war, didn't have family members in the military either. That's the beauty of a VOLUNTARY military. And to end my soap box rant, NO ONE DESERVES health care. You earn it, just like your drivers license.
I'm BonScott and I absolutely approve this message!!
-- Posted by BonScott on Wed, Jan 21, 2009, at 11:50 PM
GONENOW, are you stupid? More people are murdered in a year in Chicago than troops killed in Iraq in a year. It is a successful war so far, but unfortunately, still has a way to go. You are right that Iraq is like Vietnam...it is a quagmire of sorts. But that's maybe b/c of the military not wanting to kill the main enemy. I know people will hate this, but; if you kill your main enemy, how can you possibly continue to get funding. I mean, seriously, no matter how much money I might have...could I possibly stay on the run and not get caught? NO!!! (That's a fact people).
Also, as far as Barack Hussein, I can't see how siding with Israel's enemies can help us. When you side against God, you will rue the day!!
I would very much like to know who is pulling his strings. He is definitely a puppet. But who is the puppeteer?!? Someone with very deep pockets I guarantee. You don't go from total obscurity to the Presidency without a lot of help under/over the table.
BTW, GONENOW, going to the doctor and buying medicine is a "law-biding, tax-paying" privilege. Even Canadians are coming here for healthcare b/c their healthcare sucks. It's too expensive (via taxes) and takes far too long to get into see a doctor. Any American who thinks the Canadians get healthcare for free is a moron!!

Goat likes to be holier than thou and uses the "here we go again (great song by the way) and name calling" for those who state opinions with facts to support another view.
I find it hard to believe that on 9-12-01, dexterite and Gone were telling their family, friends and co-workers that we did not need to go on the offensive as they watched footage of smoke, smog and ashes float in the NY air. I can't recall ONE person saying we needed to wait and see, be patient, and not act hastily. This country was ONE and we were united on the idea of fighting back.
Gone is disgusted because the rich have gotten richer thanks to GW. I miss the days whent he rich got poorer under Clinton. The rich only get richer when conservatives are top dog, didn't you know?
These are the same folks who will celebrate the masterminds of 9-11 being treated fairly, their trials put on hold, Gitmo shut down and at the same time, will cheer Pelosi on as she claims W needs to be prosecuted.
Obama deserves a chance. If decisions are made that strengthen our free market, defense, security, and our nation as a whole...cheer it.
If his liberal past dictates how he governs and he aims for more handouts and socialistic leaning policies....I pray he fails miserably so that our country can remain and someday get back to the principles it was founded on.
Goat, dexterite, Gone....no name calling. Is Reprobate a dirty word? I think I got ISS for saying it in school once.

I have no intention of justifying some of the ludicrous remarks written to or about me. What I will say is--NO, I was NOT happy on 9-12 to be in a war. War is not always the best or only answer. A bully does not win. He is eventually outsmarted. This is a lesson I observed in FIRST GRADE! Had a team of strategists met and sought better solutions and the assistance of our former allies, many husbands,dads and sons, daughters or wives would be alive today.
Name-calling falls in the same category as bullying, so don't expect me to join in. As for me being stupid? Remember what Forest Gump had to say...
Health care? A right just like a driver's license? I agree! I also know that with sky-rocketing costs, not all people can have health care and still eat or have a roof over their heads. What happened to the rights of the working poor? Even the middle class poor?
As was earlier stated, Obama deserves a chance. He also deserves respect. He does not need to be referred to by his middle name, which he did not choose--by the way. Did you choose your name? (don't think so) Hopefully, the name-calling and insults can stop. It benefits no one, and destroys the chance for an entertaining topic.

MrsD, I hope you are proud of your sons because I am. Sounds like they may be among the extreme minority of people who have the natural intestinal fortitude to look at the emperor and publicly exclaim that he is wearing no clothes.
I have said repeatedly on these blogs that OB is parading around naked while his worshipers are blindly enamored with his ability to effectively read from a teleprompter. He doesn't sound any more intelligent than my high school teachers did when he is speaking off the cuff, and he has not exhibited proof of being any more more intelligent than IB, Hoon, Madeline and many other Statesman bloggers. If anyone else had bungled the oath of office the way OB did, the person would be the butt of jokes and openly called a bozo by Letterman, Leno and others. Likewise, that OB didn't know basic details of his initial Executive Orders should make him the butt of jokes so people would realize how ordinary his intellect is. But don't hold your breath that Letterman, Leno, et al will recognize, much less say that the emperor wears no clothes.
What does set OB apart from "normal" people is his megamaniacal lust for power that makes him psychologically on par with innumerable tyrants through history. So we will only know in retrospect if January 20 was historical, and then only if people such as MrsD's sons wind up with the a thug's jackboot stomping their face.

Madeline Dejournett's response:Have I missed something? I've searched through this blog to find where I mentioned anything about my sons??
Ok, health care is a right just like a drivers license. Posession of a drivers license is not a right.
You have the right to seek health care just like I do, but it is not my responsibility to provide it for you.
You have the right to eat, but I am not responsible to feed you.
You have the right to work, but it is not my responsibility to provide you with work.
You have the right to have children, but it is not my responsibility to raise them for you.
His parents had the right to name him and they did I guess, maybe not I don't know. We have the right to use any combination of his three names or just one of them. At least for now anyway.
Maybe I will help with all these things, but I should have the right to say no if I want to and you have no right to make me do otherwise. Shouldn't have anyway.

We need to come together and find solutions people! I think BO wants to do this, but I don't agree that expanding government will accomplish what we need as a nation. Speaking of a driver's license, have you been to the DMV lately? No competition equals a bad product or service. This is human nature and if you think handing responsibility over to the government is going to fix our problems, you need to check yourself before you wreck yourself. And if health care becomes a government program, we are all DOA.
We need to let this recession run its course. During Reagan's first term, we did this and although it took awhile, it worked. Government should regulate business, but has no business running companies. Just provide thoughtful incentives to promote ingenuity, competition and sound business solutions. Our country is running huge deficits b/c the gov't overspends, not b/c they don't get enough of our hard earned money. When they spend too much, ole Biden says its our patriotic duty to give them more...really??? How about we eliminate amendments to bills in order to reduce pork. How about we let the House write the bills and the Senate act as the "saucer" (filtering) like it was initially intended. How about we eliminate lobbying in DC. How about we prevent career politicians. These are just a few suggestions of which none include making the government bigger or more controlling over your God given right to the freedom they are currently trying to take away...RIGHT NOW.

But this wacked out group who thinks Bush and Cheney were alone and forced this country into war, have little credibility. Congress had same info. Congress overwhelmingly supported war as did the nation. Again, it hard to find family members or friends who have been over there who come back thinking we have not done a great thing.

Michael Moore's Farenheit 9-ll didn't help the post 9-11 patriotic fervor. Unfortunately, groups like the Stoddard County Democratic Women's Club showed the movie free during the '04 and '06 election campaigns. So many people believe everything they here. The left has its Chris Matthews and Michael Moore and now wants to silence conservative talk radio with the unFairness Doctrine.

Hoon-I won't waste my time disputing the ways we differ. I don't know you, and you don't know me. I meet lots of people in a day's time, and they all speak to me with respect. If not, I wouldn't bother answering them either. So, we can just agree to disagree--or not. There was at least one other topic that was at a standstill, and someone had to say, "Enough!" So, for my part--I'm finished. I'm not saying, "I give," mind you. I'm just finished reading the histrionic comments. Look that up, if you'd like to learn another new word.

Nobody's gonna go look for it there. And there's only so much we can do with BobbyG's topic of the day.
I guess I need to leave the blogs alone and 1) clean house 2) clean the office 3) do some research 4) read a book 5) wash my dog 6) write an old friend 7) plan an ad campaign and run for public office 8) take an accounting course 9) take a photography class 10) sign up at a gym 11) organize my sock drawer 12) throw away my out-of-date prescriptions...

Congressman Mike Pence (R-IN) noticed something disturbing in the 'stimulus' package--A little section that read 'and $600 million to prepare America for Universal Health Care.' Wow, $600 million just to prepare for it? Sounds like it's going to be cheap. No seriously, socialism is going to be so much fun when it's fully in place in America.
Thought some of you would enjoy checking this out.

Hoon, I listened to a bit of Rush Limbaugh today as he bemoaned the fact that Republican Party leadership is abandoning the rank & file conservatives. The Constitution Party may well be the answer. I think it is anyway. It seems the neo-conservatives have taken the party over completely which is why the Democrats won control of Congress in '06 and now the White House. Obamanomics is the antithesis to Reaganomics. Obama and the socialistic Democratic Congress are changing our country to United Socialist States of America. Welcome to the Obamanation that makes desolate!

MrsDolphin, Seems that you didn't have Teachout for American History for the boys!!. ****!!, she would have had us glued to the TV in the events of this past week!! and would have quizzed us on the observations therefrom!! and it would have been part of our grade!! My grandsons are having issues with their education at this point in time, and I'm damned if I would not prefer to have them in the Dexter school district, Southwest or Central, or wherever we've moved to, at least I could get support from the school board, and communication from their teachers, but up here in NW MO, there is a dearth of concern and parents are left to gather their own resources, my daughter drills them on their math and language every weekend and I still want for the school systems I was educated in to miraculously appear up here with the quality of faculty and administrations to match. I've got to go check the homework now, so HAVE A GOOD ONE!!
Best ever to all at home, kkcaver

Today we bombed inside Pakistan and killed 20 people. How about that? Hope there weren't any innocent civilians like George Bush would have been accused of. For some reason I never heard any squawking from the media. I really do hope he got a lot of very bad people though. Gobama boma Taliban.

The inauguration as absolutely history, was it any more so than any in the past, perhaps. I hope and pray that some good comes from this presidency. We all know that the President does not make decisions all by himself, the House and Senate are there, and as always they like spoiled children want their way, so there will have to be compromise.
Interesting point made about our new President being a "puppet" to some outside influence. I suppose time will tell on that issue.
I highly doubt that any American will ever forget how we felt when we learned OUR country was under attack. And if we are honest I believe everyone's first response was to defend ourselves and make those responsible pay for their actions. None of my daughters were in the service, but we know many who were in before 9/11/01 and many who signed up after the horrific events. I have always been Proud to be an AMERICAN, not just because a "black" man was elected.
I am not sure why so many are so enamoured by BHO, but I am anxious to see if he can make any improvements to our economic situation like so many believe. Whatever happens it won't be immediate, we didn't get in this mess in a month's time and it's going to take time to rectify the issues.
There is no doubt our new President is an eloquent, polished speaker, but he has had many years to practice. Even though I have a "southern" accent I can speak quite effectively.
These blogs are always informative, interesting, and also entertaining as we all exercise our right to free speech however different those opinions may be. This also makes me feel like I am still "home" in the Bootheel. Thanks for allowing me to "play" with the big kids!!!

G.L......Sorry, BUT..Dale Teachout would be exactly the "mentor extremisis" that our generation would need to provoke them into thought, which would resolve into awareness, and she would be the teacher of the moment who prompted a redolent board of education into being just that, a board of EDUCATION!! My mother had Dale in high school when it was in the old high school, and she regaled me with tales of Dale tossing books at students who were napping in class...what a hoot!!!I would have done the same thing!!and woe be unto the student who *******, as it would be apparent that they did not give a hoot about their class or their grade!!
Dale Teachout was a teacher of American History as it was lived in her time, and she shouted to the rooftops to us as her students to realize that we were living history during the '60's in DHS and strove to prod us into realizing the same, so grab a piece of reality and be thankful that you had such an educator as part of your secondary education, and thank your stars that you had a Board of Education, as it was constituted in those years, (God Rest You, Bro. T.S.Hill), that DHS was and is the BEST High Schoo
that Dexter could have, and those of us who went through her doors are well many times the better for her efforts. Regards to all to whom these presents may appear: Kenneth Keith Roussel, Jr. Class of 1965, Dexter Senior High School, Dexter, Missouri.......GO BEARCATS!!!!!
-- Posted by kkcaver47 on Sat, Jan 24, 2009, at 7:49 PM
So you think today's wimpy school boards and parents would back up a teacher like Dale Teachout? In this litigious day and age?? Teachers had a lot more power back then. As students, we didn't dare complain, no matter what they did to us - because our parents wouldn't listen! A complaint from me about Voicie McNutt just brought me more trouble at home!
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Jan 24, 2009, at 9:35 PM
And, as for complaining about Teachout, I didn't dare!
-- Posted by goat lady on Sat, Jan 24, 2009, at 9:37 PM
Wonder why a student would fall asleep if it was such a great teaching and learning experience? I had a couple teachers that screamed, hollered and threw things. They just weren't capable of keeping your attention or inspiring you to learn in any other way. I like our teachers today.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Sun, Jan 25, 2009, at 12:36 AM
Interesting observation, I.B. I admit that I hadn't thought of that. I don't remember Teachout throwing anything at my class, but we must have had some real dummies in there, because she got so furious I thought she'd have a heart attack.
Thinking back on it, she probably should have tried to ignore the idiots and concentrate on the ones who actually wanted to learn.
I admit to having been afraid of her, but she didn't inspire me like Wilson Jarrell did the next year in World History. That man was absolute magic!
-- Posted by goat lady on Sun, Jan 25, 2009, at 7:53 AM
And, by the way, kk, I went to school in the old building, too. Sat right there by the second-story window in Teachout's class, watching for a glimpse of my future husband down below, as he came back from - was it called C.E.O.? (They worked off campus half a day.)
I think I know why I wasn't inspired in that class. She had to spend too much time on discipline and too little time on real teaching. All I remember from that class was her ranting at that kid on the front row. I do remember his name but I'd better not include it here. He might be an alderman somewhere...

I am keeping track of double standards that our new President is receiving....things like:
Deficits are now OK because our new Pres. is trying to save the country. I thought deficits were the price our children and grandchildren were going to have to pay when we were long gone?
Things can't be fixed overnight, be patient and it may take more than 4 years? What happened to holding them to campaign promises and measuring him against those?
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Mon, Jan 26, 2009, at 10:53 AM
Exactly right, Hoon! This Obama mania is sickening! Unfortunately most Americans are fed about 10 minutes worth of news on CNN or one of the other networks and believe that we ought to hope Obama succeeds. I hope he doesn't succeed! I don't believe in gun control, keeping abortion legal, socialization of America, and selling our national sovereignty! And that's what the radical liberal Obama and his left wing team wants to do! i guess i just ought to quit listening to Sean Hannity and all the other conservative talk shows out there. Of course, if these extremists have their way, conservatism will be silenced any way with the unFairness Doctrine.

Ah, you can never silence conservatism, swift! It will find a way! Keep the faith. You will eventually prevail. Never say die. Tippecanoe and Tyler too. Don't shoot until you see the whites of their eyes. This too shall pass.

Not bad Goat....but so much of what is in that ridiculous "stimulus" plan has NOTHING to do with the economy. Many are saying it is 25 years worth of a wish list for the far left liberals. Much of this will NOT be undone and it is not just us ranting by saying there are several socialist ideas in there.
Our leaders are from the very FAR LEFT and the other side of the aisle is full of spineless weak *****.
Memo to worthless media: STOP saying stimulus package! It is NOT! Call it an agenda and that will be much more accurate.
-- Posted by shannonhoon on Mon, Jan 26, 2009, at 10:43 PM
NO....GOAT. It is an agenda and NOT a stimulus package. This coming from a guy promoting CHANGE like you and I need it and someone going to do away with earmarks and pork!

Jaime Hernandez speaks (with his brother, Gilbert) Saturday at the Wexner Center's Mershon Auditorium. The Hernandez brothers are the creators behind "Love and Rockets," one of the seminal alternative comics of our time.
It's been a long, strange week. I'm ready for some relief. Here's how I'd spend my weekend if I could be everywhere all the time.
But I Digress ...
At It Looks Like It's Open
"A nonlinear thought by way of interactive dance party?" I'm not entirely sure what that means, but it sounds like fun and a great way to let off steam.
Impractical Jokers
At Palace Theatre
To some, "juvenile" is a four-letter word. I'm not one of those people. Fart jokes, slapstick humor – it's all got a place in my life.
Angela Perley & the Howlin' Moons
At Natalie's Coal-Fired Pizza & Live Music
Blue Jackets vs. Canadiens
Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez
At Mershon Auditorium, Wexner Center
After "Love and Rockets" creator Jaime Hernandez became one of my favorite interviewees ever, I knew it'd be especially hard to miss his author talk (with his brother, Gilbert). If you care at all about comics, you should be there too.
Author readings featuring Chelsea Martin, Scott McClanahan and more
At Skylab
Scott McClanahan won me over early into his excellent "Crapalachia." Early as in book-title-early (It's a great title, no?). The story itself is a head-rush of adrenaline and nostalgia and depression for someone who considers himself a native West Virginian (even though I was born and raised in Ohio). I'm stoked to meet Scott in person and hear him read (plus, free fudge?).
Justin Timberlake
Jeff Smith
At Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum
I already geeked out over so much of the Billy Ireland Cartoon Library & Museum, but Sunday I'm expecting to geek out over Jeff Smith.

Somebody took pictures of the oven, maybe Chau or Kelly?
With overheating protection which automatically cuts off power supply when the temperature of oven exceeds 360°C
I found some more information on the Heng Wei oven: .... Ideally, you want a real oven burner, though, with a pilot light and safety features....
No Jeff it just cackles to life when the temp drops enough. Thanks for taking an interest. Any ideas on how to construct a deck oven from scratch?
Couldn't open the sears link "access denied" for some reason. But found some Weber grill sets (about $40?). I was thinking to make that part but maybe I can get it sent to me. Does it have to be stainless? Don't you think it would be an advantage to have 2 sets? One for the bottom and one for the top. Also when you say "large(2'x3')", I'm assuming you meant 2' or 3'.
OK guys, I'm getting the picture. 3 boxes: Heat sink, Burner, Insulation.I spoke with my handyman this morning to check out burners. He confirmed what Scot and others have already told me: said that reliability/safety is a problem, he could make them but they would cost a fortune and I had better by them from Thailand. 1st rough estimate $160Regulators available here are cheap Chinese that always have probs - buy in Thailand. Estimate $160Thermostats _ same deal - buy in Thailand. Estimate $250 Shuboyje, what is PID?I'm tending to agree with Shubs. I think the majority of the work will be in finding the stuff at a reasonable price and fitting it will be marginally more complicated. WFO, top heat : traditional decks, bottom heat. Both have their problems. Why not get the best of both worlds and do both. Assuming I went with 152 btu and did a top and bottom burner. What do you think the distribution should be re: top and bottom?About the shell. Quick estimate was $600 for stainless 'boxes'. $200 for kiln shelves because we would need to get them machined specially. $160 for metal stand.These estimates are really outer ball park ideas! They bring me up to $2000 which would then overun due to 'extras'. I was rather hoping to get is done for a lot less (maybe half ) but it atkes what it takes and its still doable. If you guys think some of these figures are out of the ballpark and in the next precinct then let me know.I'm rather hoping I can find somewhere in Thailand that can sell me the whole works so that they are all rated to be compatible with each other. If anyone knows of a supplier there or a good 'find it' man, please let me know. I have to go there in about a week but I don't have to stay for more than a couple of days.If I can't find the burners we would make out of copper here. Just sayin'. But the regulators/ thermostats, we can't. Thermocouples installed in the floor - I'm not there yet in my head - but I think I had better arrive there before I get to Thailand! One last thing - no-one understand the concept of a pilot light in this country. Every thing uses a magneto type spark to control temperature. Is there anything inherently wrong with using this? I'm hoping I can get a favorable answer here!Thanks again for all your help.
What type of "furnace" are you referring to? The only one I have a smattering of knowledge about (school ) is one to refine iron ore? Dumb question but please answer.
I'm not completely closed to the idea of a PID but I presume that it needs a pilot light and that is something no one here has any experience with. Electronic ignitions are plentiful here and something that I need to include in my costs.

Since you are hand mixing, here is a pointer for lard whisking by hand."The best alternative to a weak mixer is not a spoon, but your bare hand. Whip and beat the lard with a rapid folding motion until you feel the lard is fluffy and full of air. It should be as light as butter creamed for the lightest butter cake."

My 8 year old enjoyed this for practicing division. She isn't learning division yet in school, but after playing hot dots a few times, she was remembering the division answers and figuring out in her head the methods to solve the problems. Great learning tool!!!

About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children
I absolutely love the Multiplication & Division Hot Dot Fact Cards (both sold separately)! My 3rd grader still needs a lot of practice in order to get the facts "down" and this is so much more fun than the daily fact sheets in his math workbook. These hot dot cards are more interactive than a traditional fact card where you hold them up and call out the answer. These provide instant feedback (with or without sound- the lights are a great feature on the hot dot pens). I can also see this turning into a game where two children race against each other to see who can get their stack done correctly first! Great all around. A+ in my book.

This provides free income tax return preparation for certain taxpayers. The VITA program assists taxpayers who have limited or moderate incomes, have limited English skills, or are elderly or disabled. Many VITA sites offer electronic preparation and transmission of income tax returns.
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance- VITA
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites are available in most communities to help with tax return preparation. People volunteer their time to help their neighbors. The service is free to those with limited or moderate income people, non-English-speaking, the elderly and the disabled. Some VITA sites even offer free electronic filing.
Compensation received by employees for services performed. Usually, wages are computed by multiplying an hourly pay rate by the number of hours worked
Money, for example, that employers withhold from employees paychecks. This money is deposited for the government. (It will be credited against the employees' tax liability when they file their returns.) Employers withhold money for federal income taxes, Social Security taxes and state and local income taxes in some states and localities.

Looking for work
To the Journal editor:
Michigan has experienced a great economic downturn over the last several years. The auto companies lost sales, many companies left for greener pastures where labor is cheap and taxes are low. Companies that were family in Michigan.
Jobs left. Good jobs are gone. When we will they come back? It is unrealistic to expect the same great jobs we used to have because of the influence of the global economy.
Instead of America leading the charge to better employment practices for all the world, we seem to be following others closely and plummeting to the bottom of the pit.
I ask Gov. Rick Snyder and the Legislature, where are the jobs right to work was expected to bring back to Michigan?
Companies no longer are burdened by onerous union rules and are free to fleece employees at will. Regulations are dwindling, we don't need them.
Jobs? Any jobs? Part time jobs? I'm waiting.

Also , we have a Quad Core Server CPU for 266$ .. was there ever a cheaper quad server chip ? Isn't this a record ?
Advanced Micro Devices on Monday said that its highly-anticipated AMD Opteron processors with eight and twelve cores are finally available on the market. The new chips will allow AMD to tangibly boost its market share and will also make 4-way servers to become more affordable.
"As AMD has done before, we are again redefining the server market based on current customer requirements. The AMD Opteron 6000 Series platform signals a new era of server value, significantly disrupts today's server economics and provides the performance-per-watt, value and consistency customers demand for their real-world data center workloads," said Patrick Patla, vice president and general manager of AMD's server and embedded divisions.
AMD Opteron "Magny-Cours" processors with eight or twelve cores are the first chips designed for the AMD G34 "Maranello" platform for Opteron processors 6000-series with quad-channel DDR3 memory interface, 2 or 4 CPU sockets, up to 12 memory modules per socket and some server and enterprise-specific functionality. Magny-Cours microprocessors feature two six-core or quad-core dies on one piece of substrate.
Maranello is AMD's first platform in almost a decade that is based on the company's own chipset. AMD 5600-series chipset features I/O virtualization capability, HyperTransport 3.0 technology and PCI Express 2.0. The new AMD Opteron platform is chipset- and socket- compatible between 2P and 4P and will be compatible with the planned processors based on the next-generation AMD server processor core, code-named "Bulldozer".
AMD also stresses that the new Maranello platform removes the so-called "4P tax", since the same processors can be used in both 2-way and 4-way designs, and 4P-capable processors are now the same price as 2P-capable processors.
Sunnyvale, California-based AMD hopes that its next-generation servers will offer great performance-per-watt despite of higher power consumption of twelve-core and eight-core chips thanks to increased amount of cores and other innovations of the new-generation platforms. In particular, the new processors will have HyperTransport bus speed increased to 6.4GT/s, which will increase performance scalability, as well as Cool Speed and C1E technologies to reduce power consumption.
Leading OEMs including HP, Dell, Acer Group, Cray, and SGI are introducing new systems based on this highly scalable and reliable platform. Pricing of AMD Opteron 6000-series microprocessors varies from $266 to $1386 depending on the model.

Apple, IBM and a former employee of IBM Mark Papermaster have reached an agreement under which the latter will be able to return to his senior vice president position at Apple in late April, 2009. The agreement follows months of legal proceedings and accusations of Mr. Papermaster of violating his agreements with IBM.
IBM and Mr. Papermaster have now agreed on a resolution of the lawsuit under which Mr. Papermaster may not begin employment with Apple until April 24, 2009, six months after leaving IBM, and will remain subject thereafter to all of his contractual and other legal duties to IBM, including the obligation not to use or disclose IBM's confidential information. Following commencement of his employment with Apple, Mr. Papermaster will be required to certify, in July 2009 and again in October 2009, that he has complied with his legal obligations not to use or disclose IBM's confidential or proprietary information.
Mr. Papermaster resigned from IBM in late October 2008, claiming he was taking on an unspecified job at Apple. In its suit, IBM said that the former employee would be in breach of a no-compete agreement he signed in 2006 that "prevents him for working for competitors for one year if he were to sever ties with IBM". Nevertheless, it seems that the agreement has been reached and he will be able to resume his work as senior vice president of devices hardware engineering at Apple roughly half a year after he left IBM.
Mark Papermaster is claimed to be a key developer of IBM Power PC microprocessor as an expert in chip design. Most recently he served as vice president for IBM's blade server development. Papermaster also has been a member of the company's Integration and Values Team since 2006.
IBM does not complete with Apple on the market of general computers since IBM quit the PC business years ago. On the other hand, Apple sells Xserve servers that may potentially compete against IBM's. Moreover, IBM has been trying to enter the market of consumer electronics with Power PC chip design for years now, without much success.

First formal complaint against Kung Fu Saloon filed at City Hall; more expected 'every day'
After Wednesday's city council meeting where City Manager A.C. Gonzalez pledged to investigate Kung Fu Saloon in Dallas "very aggressively," the city is now accepting complaints from people who believe they have been victims of discrimination.
Kung Fu Saloon was initially accused of turning away Dallas resident DeAndre Upshaw, who is black. The bouncers told Upshaw in May his shoes violated their dress code and he wasn't allowed in the bar. But Upshaw's female, white friend got into the bar wearing the same shoes.
Upshaw's city council appearance last week was his latest in an organized charge against Kung Fu Saloon that has included a peaceful protest and a weeks-long social media campaign to encourage others to speak out if they believe the bar discriminated against them.
The first complaint was filed midday Monday, said Beverly Davis, assistant director of fair housing and human rights for the city of Dallas. Davis estimates that the city will take 100 days to review and investigate complaints. Positive experiences with Kung Fu Saloon will also be accepted, and members of the city attorney's office may interview people on both sides of the discussion, Davis said.
Ultimately, the city attorney's office will decide if or when the case should land in the prosecutor's office.
"Part of the message we want to get out is that we want to make sure everyone understands that everyone has rights and everyone should be respected," Davis said. "Discrimination is unacceptable."
Several city council members have visited the bar since the allegations, finding no bouncer at the door and thus no opportunity to be turned away.
Kung Fu's spokesperson Jeff Hahn has said the bar has "had very productive discussions with a number of city officials" and that he expects the "positive dialogue" to continue.
Since Upshaw shared his story on Facebook, dozens of people have said they weren't allowed into the Uptown bar, some citing racial discrimination, others citing sexual orientation. Upshaw hopes to harness those stories into formal complaints filed with the city.
"On Facebook, you're basically shouting into the wind," he said. "[But] these stories are a small example of what is really going on in the large scale."
Stories to the contrary have also surfaced, like Brandon Green, who describes himself in a letter as a "gay, African American Dallas native and business owner" who regularly hangs out at Kung Fu. (See his full letter here.)
Green wrote that he and his friends have also been turned away for dress code violations. "We didn't challenge the staff because rules are rules. Racism never entered our minds," Green wrote.
Davis' office will be looking into potential violation of Dallas city code section 31-3, which states, in part, "A person commits an offense if he: discriminates against, withholds from, or denies a person any of the advantages, facilities, or services offered to the general public by a place of public accommodation because of race, religion, sex, color, or national origin."
Those writing a statement need to have the document notarized and turn it into City Hall's office of fair housing and human rights. Citizens could be called upon to testify in court, Davis said.
She expects to receive complaints related to the case "every day."

The Earnings Power of the Magic Kingdom
If you wished upon a star that your child or grandchild would have a successful and financial secure future, you'd buy them at least one share of Walt Disney (DIS) and take delivery of the colorful stock certificate. The certificate would be placed in a sturdy, glass-covered frame and hung on the child's bedroom wall.
Many of those stock certificates still exist, and their value has skyrocketed over the decades. As the owner of theme parks deemed "the happiest places on earth" and a media empire that includes the ABC network and ESPN cable network, DIS knows how to generate lots of green, crisp money.
If you've been waiting to buy some shares or add to your existing Disney shares, this may be a good time. Thursday, the company reported its latest quarterly earnings. Although quite positive considering the times, the company missed revenue forecasts and the stock dipped $1 after-hours.
Disney's net income in the latest quarter rose 14%, partially due to an increase in revenue. That increase was created mainly by higher consumer spending at its theme parks and on its cruise ships. Yes, they even own a popular cruise line aimed at families with children and grown-up "children," too.
Net income rose to $1.24 billion, or 68 cents per share, from $1.09 billion, or 58 cents per share, a year ago. The adjusted earnings of 68 cents per share matched the expectations of analysts.
When it comes to revenue, although it was 3% higher at $10.78 billion, it was slightly below the $10.9 billion analysts had expected. Movie studio revenue fell and revenue at the company's pay TV and broadcast networks grew a modest 2%. DIS has had better quarters, but overall this one wasn't too bad.
Disney's shares hit an all-time high back on May 15, 2012 at $45.80, and since that time it kept hitting new highs. On Sept. 25 it hit both a 52-week high and another all-time high of $53.40. The chart below helps us to see how the stock price has grown along with its operating margin and increasing revenue. DIS data by YCharts
As you can see, the quarterly revenue growth rate has subsided and so the stock is pulling back. The 200-day simple moving average of the stock price is slightly above $46, and there aren't enough reasons to believe the stock will correct that much.

The Creators Project: What project are you guys currently working on?
François Wunschel: Some distortion plug-ins and sound experimentation.
Pier Schneider: Dancing!
Your jobs are so interesting and multi-faceted, but classifying your work as "architecture" seems limiting. Do you have a name for what 1024architecture does?
Pier Scheider: I say I'm a video architect or an urban artist. We use buildings as the framework and architecture as the support.
François Wunschel: I prefer media wrangler. I cook a bit of space, stew some video, add some spice, and serve it fresh with electronic music.
Do you have a specific creative process, or does it differ with each project?
Pier Schneider: It depends on each project. Every situation has its proposition, setup, visual content, program, interaction mode, conception processes, and creation tools. Everything depends on its intervention context.
François Wunschel: All I know is that I spend too much time in front of my computer.
What kind of programs and technology are most important to your work?
François Wunschel: Open-source technology, because it is free to use and there's always someone to help if you run into trouble.
Pier Schneider: A telephone and an agenda are the best things to stay focused on the reality of the present times.
You are part of a generation that was raised in tandem with the evolution of the personal computer and other consumer electronics. Do you remember tinkering with your first electronic gadgets?
François Wunschel: My first electronic game was called Conte (Fairy-tale). It was totally text-based, and the player could make his or her own fairy-tale book based on a multiple-choice questionnaire. It wasn't very fancy. I also remember first playing Mario Bros., and I still play it today. Pier Schneider: It was probably the Nintendo Game & Watch two-screen version of Donkey Kong. That was a gift from my godfather for my birthday. I remember that my thumbs were screwed up at the end of the day.
Do you foresee any new technologies being developed in the near future that will revolutionize the way we work?
François Wunschel: Thought recognition software, and a technology like Babel Fish that actually works. Pier Schneider: Teleportation, I hope.
What is the last thing you read or watched or participated in that really inspired you?
François Wunschel: David O'Reilly's Octocat, which is a mix between a cat and an octopus. You simply cannot describe it with words. It's mesmerizing and über-contemporary.
Pier Schneider: I guess it's Pierre Rigal's Press. He's a great dancer. The show is about a constant struggle between man, machine, submission, and compression. It's outstanding!
If you could wish for one invention or innovation that could make your life easier, what would it be?
François Wunschel: I still think that innovation and invention is a bottom-up process. So I hope that some funky young freak in his mum's garage will, one day, think up the ultimate idea that will make my life easier. I don't know what that will be, but I'm open to many things.
Pier Schneider: My job is about using and hijacking all kind of tools, technology, or things I can compose with, so I will find new ways to use things other people invent, whatever they may be.
It's now 2010. Is this what you imagined the future was going to be like when you were 15? What's missing?
François Wunschel: I truly thought the world would have collapsed, like in Akira. But it has not. Yet.
Pier Schneider: Not at all. I used to imagine that I would be able to move in flying vehicles, park on roofs, and then use the garage as a laboratory. I apologize if this disappoints you, but today I already have everything I need. I prefer hijacking the things here—the materials and the technologies.

text: This is going to be a relatively short post, as these babies only turned up yesterday, and it's going to take quite some time to evaluate them, but, given the worldwide interest and popularity of Vibram Fivefingers, I'm certainly hoping that my experiences with them are going to be positive. Ok, so I've been running a fair bit over the last couple of years, essentially starting whilst living in Australia. One of the issues, which you may not be aware of, but as an Englishman, became a bit of a thorn in my side, is that there are no real […] Read more »
