Session 1 covers issues such as learning to live with diabetes, the basics of healthy eating, coping with stress and physical activity. Session 2 addresses oral medications, insulin, managing/monitoring blood glucose, personal health habits and long-term complications.
Offered on both Thursdays and Saturdays – on an alternating basis – classes are held on Thompson Health's main campus at 350 Parrish St. in Canandaigua. They are covered by most health insurances, with participants responsible for a co-pay. A sliding fee schedule and a scholarship fund are available for those without insurance.

Upcoming classes are scheduled for the following dates:
· Saturday, Sept. 21, 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

These efforts have expanded the reach of conservation, which cannot rely on parks alone.made considerable progress over the past decade. A Marshall Plan for the environment, rewilding promotes the expansion of core wilderness areas on a vast scale, the restoration of corridors between them (to fight the "island" effect of isolated parks and protected areas), and the reintroduction or protection of top predators.
Rewilding opens up areas to conservation management and puts people to work.model — a never-ending cycle, since most money is spent immediately on short-term grants and projects — several rewilding groups have embraced the endowment as a way of supporting conservation's long-term needs. University of Pennsylvania biologist Daniel Janzen has been instrumental in the phenomenal success of the Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG) in northwestern Costa Rica, which accomplished what was once thought impossible by restoring former cattle ranches to dry tropical forest and rainforest. ACG thrives on the interest from its $30 million endowment. Janzen is now seeking a half-billion dollars to endow the entire Costa Rican park system in perpetuity.

Balaev, Mikhail, 1976- (University of Oregon, December , 2008)[more][less]Balaev, Mikhail, 1976- 2009-05-14T23:43:46Z 2009-05-14T23:43:46Z 2008-12 http://hdl.handle.net/1794/9149 xiii, 202 p. : ill. A print copy of this thesis is available through the UO Libraries. Search the library catalog for the location and call number. This dissertation examines the relationship between democracy and international economic ties. The effects of economic processes on domestic politics have long been a subject for debate in the literature: some authors argue that economic liberalization advances democracy, while others advocate that economic liberalization impedes democracy. I argue that both sides of the debate omitted an important factor in the analyses of trade ties and democracy. The empirical studies predominantly used the volumes of international trade, without analyzing the structural position of trade partners in the international political arena. I argue that it is not how much a country trades, but the kind of states it trades with that determines its democracy. I analyze the current theories of democracy and identify that the main weakness of these theories is the inability to incorporate international processes and globalization in the analysis of democratization. I show that World-Systems theory (WST) can improve current theories of democracy. I employ WST and a number of alternative theories to create theoretical models of democracy. I then discuss the relevance of the former Soviet states to WST and to the analysis of democracy. I further construct a panel data set and apply pooled time-series regression, using three indexes of democracy as the dependent variables and two sets of theoretically distinct control variables. I find a negative relationship between core-periphery trade and democracy, and a positive relationship between trade openness and democracy in the periphery, which supports my main argument that trade ties must be reexamined based on the structural position of the trade partners. Contrary to conventional application of WST, the structure of the core-periphery trade shows that the core uses its economic ties to politically exploit the periphery, not the other way around. Hence, international trade is identified as a major tool for the modern hegemonies to broaden their political influence. Lastly, I found that both within- and between-states sets of control variables had influential predictors, which points out that modern theories of democracy must be restructured to incorporate multiple international processes in the analysis of the domestic politics of a state.

text: The reference model for control and automation systems introduced in this paper is based on object-role modeling, and develops fundamental concepts for security based on the analysis of the model. The reference model serves as a foundation for development of a structured approach to best apply technical security controls to SCADA systems in a way that is consistent with the operation and mission of that system. The model is applied to an electric power infrastructure for clarity, but can be adapted for control systems in other sectors.

Uncertainty, and simple neutrals with a pop of color
34 comments
There comes a time when you make a choice, that will lead to long time happiness. And only you and Matt will know what that is. You will either feel good about it or not. You are right, you are in such a good place in life to actually figure it out.ReplyDelete
Relish in the moment of decisions, because so much of that time pondering about it, you actually realize you have already made an decision, and sometimes we need our emotions to catch up to why our brain is going.
Also, something that has helped me is recognizing what needs to be accomplished in order to live out my dreams, it seems those decisions require more work and patience, which ultimately has always blessed my life long time. always.
Love you.
love your shooooes. I've been looking like mad for ones like that but with a lower heel. high heels hurt me so bad.....but they are SO in...I am all about flats. pfff. hope you figure things out, that is a difficult spot to be in. I'm applying to grad schools right now...well at least I should be, and I feel paralysed.ReplyDelete
- steph bourassaFebruary 3, 2012 at 2:45 PM
I'm the kind that Needs to always know everything or I feel insecure. But over the years I have also realised that a lot of the things you plan, don't happen like you thought. But in the end it's a good thing because it just means something better is happening. Then again, if you have a goal and a dream, make it happen. :)ReplyDelete
I know what you mean about uncertainty. I'm graduating and everything is up in the air! I don't like not being in control! I love this outfit! I really like that the tights and skirt read as the same color. And your scarf has just enough color to really make the outfit! Hope you figure everything out. Time will tell!ReplyDelete
I totally know how you feel. I wish I knew exactly where we are going to end up and settle down. We're selling our house so we can be ready to move as soon as we figure it out! We have been praying about it for a long time now...I guess we just keep waiting, and thinking!ReplyDelete
I like the way you have your scarf tied, and the bright pop of color it gives your outfit!ReplyDelete
I think you have to take life as it comes. Everything constantly changes. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted 5 years ago, and that all changed! You can't plan too far ahead. Go with flow, and do what makes you and Matt happy, and you'll always feel happy that way.
Eh, it is important to have a plan, but sometimes life is best left to just let it ride for a bit. A lot can change from now until March--you never know. I love your boots and the polka dot tights. For now, just focus on looking cute for us and worry about all those important decisions later. ;-)ReplyDelete

I'm in love with those spotty tights - great boots too!ReplyDelete

Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog! Sarah and I were talking (at the blogger party) about how we wished you could be with us!!
You are looking fall perfect and have just convinced me I need booties NOW.ReplyDelete

My eyes were drawn to your scarf & shoes immediately. They work so well together! I've been looking for a pair of lower heeled booties and love the color of yours. And don't worry! You'll figure things out in time. Just listen to your gut.ReplyDelete
Gorgeous pop of color - and love the smiley face too!ReplyDelete
Love it, a great simple way to accent a bold scarf.ReplyDelete
I'm no good with not planning either. It makes me super nervous. I like to at least have a mental itemized list of my future. Seems like you guys have already had so many cool adventures I'm sure you'll make another awesome decision.

You look amazing in that color combo! And don't worry too much about what to do in 6 months, God has a way deciding what to do and you just end up along for the ride!ReplyDelete

I love your tights and shoes! I'm at a similar point in my life. Uncertainty can be scary but I'm so jealous of the adventure you are currently having! Enjoy it while it lasts!ReplyDelete
- BrittniWLFMFebruary 3, 2012 at 2:45 PM
Can he renew for another year? I say live it up while you can before you have the kiddos! I am so jealous of your adventures.. you are lucky!ReplyDelete
With Love From Michigan
You look very put together, too. As for the decision, as long as you both want to stay, why not live out the adventure? And if it isn't working for you, move on to the next one! The uncertainty would drive me crazy, but surely you can have a talk with that one guy who has all the plans (aka God) and he'll help you sort it out. Or thrust you into something that you didn't know you were totally ready for. Either one.ReplyDelete
Jenny... I'm so glad I know you. Always so wise. The second paragraph is so accurate it almost gives me chills. I think I have already made my decision... We will see though! Things have changed so much in a few days. Maybe things could change in few months. Who knows? Thank you for your advice, you know me so well. I love you and I hope you are doing well <3ReplyDelete
Ahh, so exciting Kelsey! I'm so happy for you and your husband, and I'm so glad that I get to read your blog through this very special time :) I hope you figure it out soon and your prayers are answered!ReplyDelete
Haha, yes, I totally know what you mean. In college, I wanted something completely different than what I want now. So strange. I will try my best to go with the flow! Thanks for the advice, girl :)ReplyDelete
haha, will do! Thanks Frannie :)ReplyDelete
- ThaiThu VienFebruary 3, 2012 at 2:45 PM
I love your scarf - it adds such a burst of color to your outfit. Your bag is so cute, it just makes me smile looking at it ;) Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
- TeakalaverdiereFebruary 3, 2012 at 2:45 PM
One thing we can be certain about is that there's nothing in this world to be certain of. :) That's some old quote. Have no idea who said it though.ReplyDelete
And my goodness do I ever like your tights! :D
hey grl-ReplyDelete
I didn't edit the photos THAT much, so I don't use anything that complicated, but I use Lightroom 2...which I think is pretty close to photoshop, and still adobe. but a lot of times I just use the picnic thing on flickr to get the rounded edges and slight vignetting I want, so it depends when I'm doing. If you want your photos to look more creamy or vintage try taking down the saturation and then bringing up the yellow or green in the color levels and fudge till it looks good.
Such a casual chic look. For me the accessories are what really tied this whole look together. The smile bag is great but the booties are my favorite part of this outfit. They work with the tights and the neutral tones you used. Great outfit!ReplyDelete
I love your shoes!ReplyDelete
Are so fab!
Amazing blog!!!
- cathykhayesFebruary 3, 2012 at 2:45 PM
Love, love, love!!! Everything!ReplyDelete
polka dotted tights, how Parisian of you!ReplyDelete
the selfish part of me wants to say COME BACK TO ARIZONA! but, really you should pursue your dreams. uncertainty and making decisions = tough. good luck!ReplyDelete
Cute tote bag!ReplyDelete

Why We All Need Hammocks
Within seconds of being swallowed up by the hammock Brady closed his eyes and sighed "This sooo relaxing. It like a hug."
It had been decades since I've lounged in a hammock until yesterday when my boyfriend Eric brought one over to my house.
It had been a long weekend with the boys and we were hoping for a quiet night at home.
He thought of his camping hammock as a novel way to keep them busy.
Eric hung the hammock on the swing set and the boys clamored to get in.
Brice tried in first and quickly his moodiness from a weekend of an intense soccer tournament melted away.
It was the nicest ten minutes with our exhausted, cranky soccer player in two days.
Then it was Brady's turn.
He has been buzzing like a wild child in the hour before the hammock was hung.
With Brady's special needs, when he gets hyper it can take hours to calm him down…
or a hammock.
Within seconds of being swallowed up by the hammock Brady closed his eyes and sighed "This sooo relaxing. It like a hug."
I remembered one of his Occupational Therapists telling me once he would benefit from a hammock, but the suggestion got lost along the way.
Brady asked me to get in the hammock with him and I did.
He curled up on me and it brought a rush of memories back.
I remembered all those times he was hospitalized as a baby and toddler at Golisano Children's Hospital and I would squeeze myself into the small, metal cribs at so he could fall asleep on me.
Hanging weightless together on the hammock, swaying softly in the breeze, I felt so connected with Brady – so much love and hope in that hammock.
"Wouldn't it be awesome if all the rooms at Golisano had hammocks in them?" I asked Eric.
Wouldn't it be awesome if we all had hammocks in our houses?
The world would be a much calmer place.
I did some looking on the Web today and found "Hammocking" has benefits for individuals with the following issues:
- Autism/Aspergers
- Sensory processing disorders
- Back and neck pain
- Colic
- Sleep issues
- Stress (who doesn't have that?)

I could present this in the form it should be experenced in which is one of:
On Sept. 9, 2009 I experienced something that I still am having trouble believing happened to me. I came into the possession of a cassette tape containing a Beatles album that was never released. I dont expect you to believe what happened to me, I sure wouldn't, but thats why I grabbed the tape as proof that my experience was real.
But I know someone will complain so in the end just listen to the best mix album since the Grey Album by Danger Mouse. Check it out, share it while you can cause like the Grey Album this will be on the ghost net in short order al a Grey Tuesday.

Tuesday morning, January 23 of last year: Julia Robinson, Class of 1985, collapsed while brushing her teeth, used her arms to drag herself across the floor ("my legs were like spaghetti"), and dialed 911. By the time the ambulance arrived she was okay.
That night: Brushing her teeth before bed ("a dangerous activity for me!" she laughs), Robinson collapsed again, her friend called 911, she was taken to the hospital, and by the next morning she was paraplegic.
Robinson, 46, who lives in Pasadena, California, remains paraplegic to this day and has spent the last year at death's door.

"Art, you've done well here," former PTS president James McCord said to him in 1968. "You don't have the right to deny God the opportunity to
use you someday. So get off your ass and go back to class. And may the Lord go with you."
So Art Ware, after six years of dropping into and out of seminary (unsure whether to pursue a vocation in ministry or in education), reenrolled and earned his M.Div. from Princeton in 1969. He went on to a successful career as a junior high and high school administrator
and was also actively involved as a layman and elder in local Presbyterian congregations. Then in 1996, with retirement on the horizon, Ware and his wife, Eloise, decided to forgo the temptation to rest on their, well, laurels, and instead became missionaries to Albania.

Meet Suzy Favors Hamilton everybody!!
Umm... the Big 10 needs to stop naming athlete awards after athletes and coaches. I mean, the Paterno Award had to be retired and I'm thinking that the Suzy Favors award that goes to the conference's top female athlete is about to become something else too.
By the way, what an understanding and easy going husband.

United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois
May 9, 2011
The parties' cross-motions for summary judgment are before the court. For the following reasons, Mr. Najjar's motion for summary judgment as to Counts I-III [Dkt. 87] and the defendants' motion for summary judgment as to Counts I, III, and IV [Dkt. 127] are granted in part and denied in part as specified below. In addition, Dkt. 128 is stricken as duplicative of Dkt. 127. This matter is set for a status hearing on June 2, 2011 at 11:00 a.m. At this time, the parties should be prepared to agree to a firm trial date.
#[ For further details see text below.]
On December 17, 2007, Pierre Najjar loaned $675,000 to Gus Dahleh, an officer of Mortgage Direct Company, for use in Mortgage Direct's business. In connection with that loan, Gus Dahleh signed a promissory note for $750,000 payable to Mr. Najjar and gave Mr. Najjar a check in the amount of $750,000 dated January 17, 2008, the date the promissory note was due. The promissory note specified that Michigan law would govern any disputes and required Gus Daleh to pay costs and fees if he defaulted. It also stated that Mr. Najjar was loaning $675,000 but that Gus Daleh was responsible for that amount plus a "balloon payment" of $75,000 or the "highest amount allowable under Michigan law" and that the total amount due was $750,000.
Finally, the note provided that:
in no event shall the amount of interest due hereunder, together with all amounts reserved, charged or taken by [Mr. Najjar] as compensation for fees, services or expenses incidental to the making, negotiation or collection of the loan evidenced hereby, which are deemed to be interest under applicable law, exceed the maximum rate of interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof allowed from time to time by applicable law. If any sum is collected in excess of the applicable maximum rate of interest, the excess sum collected shall apply to reduce the principal debt or be refunded to [Gus Daleh], at [Mr. Najjar's] option.
Third Amended Complaint, Ex. A (Dkt. 82-2).
On December 17, 2007, Gus Daleh also signed a "business purpose affidavit" stating that he signed the promissory note "for a business purpose (i.e., Mortgage Direct 360 W. Butterfield Elmhurst IL 60121) and the Note shall not be construed as a consumer contract." Id. at Dkt. 82-2, at 7. Apparently, however, he spent the funds on himself, including a trip to Las Vegas and on-line trading. When January 17, 2008, rolled around, Mr. Najjar presented the check to the bank to no avail, as Gus Dahleh's account was closed.
Sam Dahleh (Gus' brother) subsequently signed a personal guaranty dated August 10, 2009. See Third Amended Complaint, Ex. E (Dkt. 82-2, at 14). In the guaranty, Sam Daleh acknowledged that his "brother, Gus Daleh, and the company Mortgage Direct Company, owe Najjar $750,000 based on a December 17, 2007, Promissory Note that has matured." Sam Daleh also promised to unconditionally guaranty payment of that debt, plus interest and attorneys' fees, in one year. At the end of the document, Sam Daleh signed on two lines, one labeled "Sam Daleh, Individually" and the other labeled "Sam Daleh, as CEO and President of Mortgage Direct Company." Underneath the signature block, Sam Daleh wrote in:
This is not final agreement. We (Sam, Gus Pierre attorney's [sic] will work out changes by 08/11/09. I (Sam Daleh) signing as guarantor for the money owed to Pierre Najjar.
Sam Daleh then printed and signed his name under the handwritten addition and added the date of August 8, 2009. The parties agree that Sam Daleh made some payments by and through Mortgage Direct to Mr. Najjar.
Mr. Najjar sued Gus Daleh, Sam Daleh, and Mortgage Direct, based on diversity jurisdiction. Counts I and II are claims for breach of contract against Mortgage Direct and Gus Daleh, respectively, based on the promissory note and bounced check. Count III is a claim for breach of contract against Sam Daleh based on the guaranty. In Count IV, Mr. Najjar contends that all three defendants defrauded him because Gus Daleh and Mortgage Direct never intended to repay the $750,000 and Sam Daleh executed the guaranty as a delay tactic.
The parties' cross-motions for summary judgment are before the court. Regrettably, neither side specifies the counts that are the subject of their motions. Mr. Najjar appears to be seeking judgment as to Counts I-III, as his arguments consist of breach of contract theories. The defendants contend that Sam Daleh's guaranty was conditional and thus not binding, Mortgage Direct is not liable for Gus Daleh's debt because it was not a party to Gus Daleh's promissory note and Gus Daleh did not have authority to bind Mortgage Direct, and that the record contains no evidence supporting Mr. Najjar's fraud claims. Thus, the defendants appear to be seeking summary judgment as to Counts I, III, and IV.
Standard for A Motion For Summary Judgment
Summary judgment is proper "if the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322 (1986). "The evidence of the non-movant is to be believed, and all justifiable inferences are to be drawn in his favor." Valenti v. Qualex, Inc., 970 F.2d 363, 365 (7th Cir. 1992). A court should grant a motion for summary judgment only when the record shows that a reasonable jury could not find for the nonmoving party. Id.
Count I -- Breach of the Promissory Note as to Mortgage Direct
The promissory note states that disputes regarding the note shall be governed by Michigan law. See Third Amended Complaint, Ex. A (Dkt. 82-2, at 5). The court will thus apply Michigan law to counts based on the note. In Count I, Mr. Najjar seeks to hold Mortgage Direct liable for the promissory note signed by Gus Daleh. "Gus Daleh" is typed under the signature line of the note, which also states "[t]his note shall be binding upon the Maker and his successors and assigns." Third Amended Complaint, Ex. A (Dkt. 82-2, at 3-5). Mr. Najjar first contends that Mortgage Direct is liable on the note because Gus Daleh signed a separate affidavit stating that he intended to use the money "for a business purpose" in connection with Mortgage Direct.
Michigan follows the widely adopted view that:
In interpreting a contract, it is a court's obligation to determine the intent of the parties by examining the language of the contract according to its plain and ordinary meaning. If the contractual language is unambiguous, courts must interpret and enforce the contract as written because an unambiguous contract reflects the parties' intent as a matter of law. However, if the contractual language is ambiguous, extrinsic evidence can be presented to determine the intent of the parties.
ABC Paving Co. v. Washtenaw County Road Com'n, No. 276703, 2008 WL 4605929, at *2 (Mich. App. Oct 2, 2008).
Here, the note was signed by Gus Daleh, and no mention was made of Mortgage Direct. The court declines to add contractual language that the parties did not include. See id. Moreover, Gus Daleh's intent to use the money in connection with Mortgage Direct is insufficient to bind Mortgage Direct under the note, as Mortgage Direct was not a party to that note. RESCO, Inc. v. GLAC Holdings, L.L.C., No. 275467, 2008 WL 400679, at *1 (Mich. App. Feb. 14, 2008) ("The general rule is that a contract binds only the parties thereto; a person who is not a party to a contract cannot be held liable thereon") (internal citations omitted). Moreover, the fact that an individual spends money on a corporation's affairs does not mean that corporation is contractually liable to repay those sums to the lender pursuant to a contract it did not sign. See id.
Next, even if Gus Daleh was an authorized agent of Mortgage Direct, he signed as "Gus Daleh" with no mention of Mortgage Direct. Thus, the note on its face has no connection to Mortgage Direct. The only possible link to Mortgage Direct is the affidavit executed contemporaneously with the note that states that Gus Daleh intended to use the money "for a business purpose" in connection with Mortgage Direct. As noted above, however, Gus Daleh's intent is insufficient to bind Mortgage Direct under the note.
Finally, the fact that Sam Daleh signed the guaranty almost two years after the execution of the promissory note in the capacity of President of Mortgage Direct in an effort to resolve the dispute regarding Gus Daleh's failure to repay the promissory note has no bearing on who is liable under the promissory note. The note was signed by Gus Daleh. The language in the guaranty does not seek to alter any obligations under the note. The effort to impose obligations on Mortgage Direct under the note based on the fact that Sam Daleh signed a subsequent guaranty in his official capacity is simply specious. Thus, Mr. Najjar's motion for summary judgment as to Count I is denied and the court finds that he cannot prevail against Mortgage Direct based on a breach of contract theory as a matter of law.
Count II -- Breach of the Promissory Note as to Gus Daleh
It is undisputed that Gus Daleh never repaid the monies due under the promissory note. Gus Daleh does not challenge his liability for the principal amount of $750,000. However, he contends that the provisions of the note requiring him to pay interest, costs, and fees are invalid because the balloon payment constitutes interest that is usurious under Michigan law, which allows parties to agree to up to 7% interest per annum. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 438.32.
Specifically, the applicable Michigan statute provides:
Any seller or lender or his assigns who enters into any contract or agreement which does not comply with the provisions of this act or charges interest in excess of that allowed by this act is barred from the recovery of any interest, any official fees, delinquency or collection charge, attorney fees or court costs and the borrower or buyer shall be entitled to recover his attorney fees and court costs from the seller, lender or assigns.
Seven percent of $675,000 is $47,250, which is less than the $75,000 difference between $675,000 and $750,000. Mr. Najjar did not seek leave to file a reply brief, despite the fact that this issue was not raised in his cross-motion for summary judgment, so any arguments he might have raised regarding usury are forfeited and the court will proceed without the benefit of his views.
Under Michigan law, "in determining whether a violation of the usury laws has occurred, courts are to look beyond the form of the agreement and consider the substance of the transaction" Barck v. Grant State Bank, 357 N.W.2d 872, 873 (Mich. App. 1984). "Interest is compensation allowed by law or fixed by the respective parties for the use or forbearance of money, 'a charge for the loan or forbearance of money,' or a sum paid for the use of money, or for the delay in payment of money." Town & Country Dodge, Inc v. Dep't of Treasury, 362 N.W.2d 618, 626 (Mich. 1985) (citations omitted). The $75,000 difference between the $675,000 principal and the amount due represents a sum paid for the use of the principal. See id. As such, it is interest and cannot exceed 7% of $675,000, or $47,250. $75,000 is greater than $47,250. Accordingly, it is a usurious interest rate.
This means that Mr. Najjar cannot recover "any interest, any official fees, delinquency or collection charge, attorney fees or court costs" in connection with his breach of contract claim based on Gus Daleh's failure to repay the principal. See Mich. Comp. Laws § 438.32; see also Lawsuit Financial, L.L.C. v. Curry, 683 N.W.2d 233, 240 (Mich. App. 2004) (demand to pay $887,500 given principal amount of $177,500 was usurious so the "plaintiff [was] barred by statute from recovering any interest, fees, late charges, court costs, or attorney fees"). In addition, Gus Daleh is entitled to attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with this claim only. Mr. Najjar's motion for summary judgment as to Count II is, therefore, granted in part and denied in part, and judgment is entered against Gus Daleh in the amount of $675,000. With respect to fees, the parties shall comply with Local Rule 54.3, and a fee petition shall be filed by July 24, 2011.
Count III -- Breach of the Guaranty as to Sam Daleh
The guaranty states that it governed by Illinois law. The defendants contend that relief is available under the guaranty because Sam Daleh added language unequivocally demonstrating that it was not a final document. Specifically, as noted above, he added the language:
The parties agree that despite the conditional language added by Sam Daleh, he made some payments on behalf of Mortgage Direct to Mr. Najjar. Mr. Najjar appears to be arguing that even if the guaranty was not final at the time Sam Daleh signed it due to the addition of the words "[t]his is not final agreement," the subsequent payments constitute partial performance that ratified the guaranty and made it final and binding.
The court finds that the guaranty itself is ambiguous. It says both that it is a final binding obligation and that it is not final and binding. To determine the parties' intentions, the court may consider parol evidence, including other documents and evidence of the parties' subsequent conduct. See Pearson Bros. Co., Inc. v. Pearson, 113 B.R. 469, 796 (C.D. Ill. 1990). Accordingly, neither side is entitled to summary judgment as to Count III.
Count IV -- Fraud
The defendants contend that Gus Daleh's failure to repay the loan was a failed business transaction, while Mr. Najjar characterizes his involvement with the Dalehs and Mortgage Direct as part of a plot to defraud him and stresses that Gus Daleh spent the loan proceeds on a Vegas trip and on-line trading instead of the promised business purposes.
Although unremarked by the parties, under Illinois law, "[t]he victim of a fraud may elect one of two remedies. He may choose to keep the benefit of his bargain, leaving the contract in place and recovering damages for his injuries. In the alternative, he may elect rescission and restitution. The injured party may seek, but not obtain, both remedies; entry of final judgment granting one remedy precludes the award of the other." In re Green, 241 B.R. 187, 199 (Bkrtcy. N.D. Ill. 1999) (internal citations omitted). Thus, Mr. Najjar will need to elect to pursue either a fraud or breach of contract claim at the appropriate time.
With that in mind, "[t]he elements of a claim for fraudulent misrepresentation, also referred to as common law fraud, are: (1) a false statement or omission of material fact; (2) knowledge or belief of the falsity by the party making it; (3) intention to induce the other party to act; (4) action by the other party in reliance on the truth of the statements; and (5) damage to the other party resulting from such reliance." Weidner v. Karlin, 932 N.E.2d 602, 605 (Ill. App. 2010), citing Bd. of Educ. of City of Chicago v. A, C & S, Inc., 546 N.E.2d 580, 591 (Ill. 1989). The court finds that Mr. Najjar has pointed to enough suspicious conduct to proceed to trial. The trier of fact may accept Gus Daleh's position (an issue upon which the court expresses no opinion) but at the summary judgment stage, the court cannot pick and choose between competing versions of the facts.
With respect to Sam Daleh and Mortgage Direct, Mr. Najjar's brief focuses exclusively on Gus Daleh. See Dkt. 88 at 13-16. Thus, any arguments regarding Sam Daleh and Mortgage Direct are forfeited. Accordingly, the defendants' motion for summary judgment on Count IV is denied as to Gus Daleh but granted as to Sam Daleh and Mortgage Direct.
Mr. Najjar's motion for summary judgment as to Counts I-III [Dkt. 87] and the defendants' motion for summary judgment as to Counts I, III, and IV [Dkt. 127] are granted in part and denied in part. Specifically:
(1) Mr. Najjar's motion for summary judgment as to Count I is denied and judgment is entered in favor of Mortgage Direct.
(2) Mr. Najjar's motion for summary judgment as to Count II is granted in part and denied in part. Judgment is entered against Gus Daleh in the amount of $675,000. In addition, Gus Daleh is entitled to attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with Count II only. With respect to the amount of fees, the parties shall comply with Local Rule 54.3, and a fee petition shall be filed by July 24, 2011. The parties are very strongly encouraged to reach agreement.
(3) The parties' cross-motions for summary judgment as to Count III are denied.
(4) The defendants' motion for summary judgment on Count IV is denied as to Gus Daleh but granted as to Sam Daleh and Mortgage Direct.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Forget About Washington
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- We can be angry at Washington for not giving us a budget deal, or we can be more constructive and look for opportunities to make money.
Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Thursday he's choosing the latter because the markets are giving investors a number of ways to cash in big.
Let's face it, every time a politician steps in front of a podium the markets start plummeting, said Cramer. But that doesn't mean there aren't deals to be had -- company after company is kickstarting its growth via well-timed acquisitions.
Case in point: Intercontinental Exchange's (ICE) purchase of NYSE Euronext (NYX) , an announcement that sent NYSE up 33% in a single day.
Cramer said these companies aren't waiting for Washington, they're doing what's right for shareholders. The same is true for Oracle (ORCL) , which just delivered a spectacular quarter Wednesday only to announce the acquisition of Eloqua (ELOQ) . Shares of Eloqua more than doubled in just the few months the company has been public.
Other recent deals include Gardner Denver (GDI) , a company that make air compressors for the oil and gas industry and Markel's (MKL) purchase of Alterra (ALTE) in the insurance sector.
Cramer said all these companies are putting money to work, growing their empires and are most certainly getting things done in a way that the politicians in Washington can only dream of.
Executive Decision
In the "Executive Decision" segment, Cramer spoke with Marty Mucci, president and CEO of Paychex (PAYX) , the payroll processor that delivered in-line earnings Wednesday while reaffirming its 2013 guidance. Shares of Paychex fell 1.9% in Thursday's trading on the news.
Mucci said Washington certainly doesn't help Paychex' business because consumer confidence is falling and new business formation is slowing. He said the uncertainty caused by the elections and now the fiscal cliff are causing businesses to delay hiring or opening new locations, all of which are bad for the economy.
Mucci said Paychex' business was also negatively affected by Hurricane Sandy as well as banks still not lending to entrepreneurs. He noted that many entrepreneurs use home equity to get their businesses off the ground but many no longer have that equity.
Mucci was more upbeat, however, on his company's health insurance initiatives. He said that business grew by 20% last year. As health-care reforms kick in, Paychex has become the defacto expert on what businesses should do to stay compliant with the new laws.
When asked what Washington can do to help the economy, Mucci said simply, "Get it done." He said any budget deal will give businesses the certainty they need to start growing again.

Gerald R. 'Jerry' Hofbauer
MARQUETTE, Mich. – Gerald R. "Jerry" Hofbauer, 63, of Marquette, passed away peacefully Saturday morning, December 29, 2012, at his home, with his family by his side and under the loving care of Lake Superior Hospice.
Jerry was born November 4, 1949, in Hancock, MI, a son of the late Roland and Marilyn (Auge) Hofbauer. He was raised in L'Anse, graduated from L'Anse High School in 1967 and was a member of the 1966 State Champion basketball team. He also received a Bachelor's Degree from Ferris State University.
Jerry enjoyed a career with the department of corrections from 1975 until his retirement in 2010 as warden of Marquette Branch Prison. He was the youngest warden in the state of Michigan. He was a member of The American Legion, Elks and Marquette Golf Club.
On November 1, 2003, he married Christine M. Genore in Marquette. Although their time together was too short, it was filled with laughter and love. They enjoyed playing golf, friends and winters in south Florida.
Jerry was an avid University of Michigan football fan. His leisure activities included watching football games, golf and having a beer with his buddies.
He is survived by his wife, Chris of Marquette; children, Courtney Hofbauer of Lansing, Jeri (Chad) Anderson of Owasso, MI, Justin (Jamie) Hofbauer of Onondaga Township and Tyler (Becky) Hofbauer of New Hudson, MI and Tracy Vizanko (fiance Joe Martin) of Union Pier, MI; grandchildren, Morgan, Malek, Kaleb, Kendall, Justin Jr, Breaunna and soon to be welcomed in May Austin Gerald; siblings, Thomas Hofbauer of Orlando, FL, Linda (Ian) Hofbauer of Sault Ste. Marie, MI and Kristine Hofbauer of Ionia, MI; former wife, Ann Ham of Portland, MI; Brother-in-law John Lerza of Venice, FL; several nieces and nephews and special canine companion, Tilly. He was preceded in death by his parents and brothers, Robert and Dr. Charles Hofbauer.
We want to thank everyone for their love and support during this difficult journey; especially, Ward and Sharon Young, who were there every step of the way along with Dr. Arthur Saari who was always just a phone call away.
Our journey was comforted by the special people at Lake Superior Hospice. Especially the love from Lynn, Becky, Carol, Deb and David.
Those wishing to make an expression of sympathy are kindly asked to consider Lake Superior Hospice 914 W. Baraga Ave., Marquette, MI 49855.
Family and friends are invited to celebrate Jerry's life on Saturday, January 5, 2012, from 12 noon to 3 p.m. at the Third Base Bar in Marquette.
The Canale-Tonella Funeral Home is assisting the family where memories may be shared at www.canalefuneral.com

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Ran like Clockwork in a beautiful locationIn full: A lovely race with the weather this year being very very hot it was also challenging. Horses, hundreds of dear, the scenery is magnificent and the stewarding / aid stations were some of the best most positive I have ever experienced.The first aid station looked like a full blown medical faciclity with St Johns medcis riding around the course (7 mile circuit) on MTBs, thankfully I didn't need them!! After being coaxed into this race at the Knacker Cracker I can't recommend this race highly enough. Great value for moneyDate of review: May 19, 2014
In short: A lot of up!!In full: Great race that in 2014 was on the hottest day of the year yet.A real leg burner. Incredible value for money, T-Shirt, Medal, Pint Glass & a post race fry up. Brilliant. Thanks to all the marshalls for jelly baby's and encouragementDate of review: March 16, 2014
In short: Howling wind, pouring rain, steep hills, Loads of mud but great fun In full: Great race. Unfortunately due to the horrendous weather a sign blew away and the race was a bit shorter than planned. But hey stuff happens. Really enjoyed it and some of the fancy dress costumes were brilliant. Great way to kick off the year. Thanks Rob Date of review: January 1, 2014
In short: Lovely day needs a couple of tweaks. In full: A lovely race. Running along the Thames and through Kew was a great way to spend the morning. A couple of points, starter only had a megaphone but I couldn't hear a word. Don't think I missed anything important but was a little frustrating. At the end of the race there were drinks and the medal but my friend I appear to have missed out on the Tshirts. Not sure where they were or what happened. Plus points, lots of Marshalls with four drink stops. Great route with some lovely scenery, potential for PBs for quicker runners as totally flat. I will happily do this race again Date of review: September 22, 2013
In short: AwesomeIn full: My first Marathon and what a race. Absolutely brilliant the organisation was perfect, water station every 3 miles, locals out on the streets giving great support and three killer hills. Throw in perfect weather and you have a day to remember. Date of review: October 29, 2012
In short: AwesomeIn full: I completed the half (my first) whilst a friend completed the full (his first). Without doubt a superb race. Organisation was brilliant lots of marshalls who were excellent, tough terrain but the course layout was such that the more inexperienced runners could still compete. Goody bag was ridiculously good value, coaster, t-shirt, salomon socks, water bottle, gel bottle, and gels. Will be back next year to do the full. Can see it being a sellout as soon as entries open. Thank you to Matt the organiser, the Marshalls and all the competitors who made it such a special day. DiolchDate of review: June 25, 2012
In short: Fantastic organisation on a glorious dayIn full: I don't normally run road races, It was also the biggest race that I've ever entered. The organisation was excellent, I had been dreading the baggage drop but I barely paused when dropping and collecting my bag. The course started in The Mall, along the Embankment into the City, past Bank and back along the Embankment to the Mall via Parliament Square. Great route for those people who never see much of London. The crowds were brilliant, cheering everyone along and helped create a great atmosphere. The "water misters" were pointless but there was plenty of water on the route (as well as toilets!) As for value for money, you can't have an event that hosts 10,500 runners through cnetral London on a summers day AND runs like absolute clockwork for just a few pounds. Would I do it again? Even though I dislike road runnng yes I would and have already signed up for next years race. Date of review: May 28, 2012
In short: Lovely run across the North Downs. In full: A well organised race starting in Denbies wine estate with plenty of Marshalls and three water/gel stations. Lots of encouragement from the marshalls who were very friendly as well as a few locals dotted around the course. The only gripe I have (and this is personal taste) is that there was a bit too much tarmac. It was otherwise a great day good value for money with a nice race T-shirt at the end too. Date of review: May 21, 2012
In short: Tough hill start and lots of mudIn full: First time I've done Offa's Orror but was an absolute joy. Very friendly runners, excellent marshalling and a tough course.Drove up from London the day before and stayed in a hotel. Well worth the effort, great scenery and almost perfect weather made it a very enjoyable race. Slight mix up with numbers at the beginning meant my original number had gone. This was dealt with seamlessly and with a smile.Will definitely be back next year. Thank you Chepstow Harriers Date of review: April 30, 2012
In short: Great FunIn full: As with the Original Grim the Duathlon takes place on the Army vehicle testing ground in Aldershot. Good enjoyable course with the bike route having various challenges from pedalling in sand to wading through water.Not particularly technical but you need to keep your wits about you. Enjoyable well organised day, for those who care - a fantastic goody bag but disappointing T-shirt compared to The Grim one. As far as I'm concerned thouigh this race is very good value for money.

Rated 3 out of 5�by Stan Ok for the Price I used it to play golf in 60 degree weather and it kept me from putting on another pullover jacket. April 21, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Molly28 Good shirt! It feels really good. It fits well. I enjoy it. I'll use it for future snowboarding and snow trips. February 10, 2016

Rated 5 out of 5�by Daz Excellent. Wore it for golfing on a cool afternoon. My playing partner got cold at the end of the day, I was very comfortable. I'm coming back to the store to buy more. November 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Tony excellent shirt for the fall I am enjoying the Duofold Men's Varitherm Midweight Crew. The fabric feels light to the touch, but gives an added layer of warmth for those cooler fall days of biking. The shirt fits well, and moves easily with you. October 28, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5�by Runner4 NOT The material/product is low rate; not worth the cost... If I wasn't press for time I would have returned it... March 5, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by TheZaxapi Moisture wicking excellent, but... This shirt is extremely comfortable and most of the time you don't know it is there. In some ways it is like a second skin. However, if you are going to buy it and have any body hair, I recommend purchasing a hair waxing kit as well. The time that you feel this article of clothing most is when hair gets caught in the fiber and tugged on or ripped out. Overall, I would give it four stars, it does what it is designed to do, but with an occasional uncomfortable drawback March 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Andy Great buy Perfect for my week in Aspen skiing. Only used this item under my ski clothing and never felt cold. March 4, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Dw Duofold It was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I thought I had the bottoms as well, but took home 2 shirts instead. Had to return one shirt and of course leggings were sold out. February 24, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5�by Culleiton31 Just as good as the expensive stuff This shirt is lightweight and fits really well. I wear it under shirts in the wintertime. It is just as comfortable and nice as the more expensive options. February 3, 2015

A Menopausal Miracle
Posted by Reviewer3141471 on Nov 11, 2008
Taking Gamma Oryzanol (120 mg. 3 times a day) along with the NOW Foods brand of black cohosh has made living through menopause bearable. I was ready to go on hormones until I found this combination. Painful and annoying hot flashes and feelings of inner tremors had literally hijacked my life. I got 3 hot flashes an hour before. As long as I take this combination of supplements 3 times a day, I can feel normal again. Taking either alone isn't as good as the combination. I'm so happy I don't have to take hormones and raise my risk for breast cancer now. Try the combination. It might take a few weeks before you see the results, but it works.
Great for energy and eases body pains
Posted by Reviewer1505881 on Oct 25, 2008

I bought this because I read it was good for your stomach lining. I love it because I have more energy now.
Very helpful
Posted by Reviewer2698345 on Jan 13, 2012
I order this product for my mom, who suffers from GI pain when she lies down (she had an ulcer in the past). She finds it very soothing and it relieves her pain, so that she can sleep restfully after she takes it. I'm not sure if GO is a long-term fix for GI issues but it definitely provides some relief, so I will keep ordering.
Helping a lot
Posted by Reviewer3068883 on Nov 09, 2009
Have had chronic gastritis for over a year, got this and started taking 5 a day( The amount all the research benefits are done on - 300mg) 3 hours after eating. It seems to have helped a lot and i am only noticing how much after i have run out! Just ordered more.
Good product for post-menopause
Posted by Reviewer1719871 on Jul 25, 2010
Based on someone else's reviews for this, am taking two tablets, three times per day, along with black cohosh. Hot flashes are less than 5x day which in my book is good. Was out of product for 5 days and could really tell by 2nd day that I need this to eliminate/reduce hot flashes.

Nvidia Corp., one of the two suppliers of discrete graphics processing units, plans to launch its new performance-mainstream GeForce graphics card model 275 on the 9th April, 2009. The new graphics card should compete against ATI Radeon HD 4890 from the graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices.
Nvidia GeForce GTX 275 graphics card will feature fully-fledged G200b graphics processing unit (GPU) with 240 shader processors (SPs) operating at 1404MHz, 80 texture units (TUs), 30 render back ends (RBEs) working at 633MHz and 448-bit memory interface. The graphics card will be equipped with 896MB of GDDR3 functioning at 2328MHz, reports VR-Zone web-site.
The new GeForce GTX 275 graphics cards should substitute the GeForce GTX 260 core 216 in the $229 - $279 price-range.
Nvidia launches the new graphics cards right in time: sales of its products collapsed quarter-over-quarter recently and the firm needs new products to boost its revenues as well as return market share, which it lost to ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices. Moreover, since the company will release the novelty in Q2, it will be able to take advantage of increasing sales in the second quarter.
Nvidia did no comment on the news-story.

Skip to comments.Gingrich makes return visit to Delaware
Posted on 04/18/2012 7:02:41 PM PDT by SoConPubbie
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich returned to Delaware on Wednesday, hoping a victory in the state's primary on Tuesday will lend credibility to his flagging presidential campaign and his plans to shape the Republican national platform.
Gingrich visited Delmarva Christian High School in Georgetown on Wednesday afternoon, followed by an evening appearance in Wilmington at a meeting of the Delaware Rail Splitter Society, an independent Republican organization named in honor of Abraham Lincoln.
Gingrich told a crowd of more than 100 people in Wilmington that re-electing President Obama would be "a disaster of the first order."
He also reiterated his calls for American energy independence, a national brain research effort, and the need to reform Washington politics and the federal government.
Gingrich said a win in Delaware could shake up the current popular narrative that former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney is the inevitable GOP nominee. He said voters in Delaware, Rhode Island, New York and Pennsylvania, which also hold primary elections next Tuesday, have the right to decide for themselves who they think the nominee should be.
"If we do win Delaware, it will break up the media narrative," Gingrich said, noting that he was written off by many political observers last year before polls showed him briefly jumping toward the head of the GOP field.
Responding to questions from the audience, Gingrich admitted that he had been wrong to support the creation of the U.S. Department of Education during the Carter administration but that he did so after a teacher told him it could help improve public education.
"It was a mistake," he said. "... The truth is, it's been a disaster, and I would shrink it radically and return power to the states."
Gingrich also took aim at what he suggested was the triviality that characterizes modern political campaigns, taking aim specifically at online jousting Wednesday between Obama adviser David Axelrod and the Romney campaign over which candidate better loves dogs.
Democrats have criticized Romney for once putting his dog in a crate on top of the family car during a vacation trip, while Obama has been the subject of talk about an excerpt in his autobiography explaining how he was introduced to dog meat while growing up in Indonesia.
"It's just utterly stupid," Gingrich said.
"This is a country with really big problems," he added. "I believe the American people are hungry for leadership that transcends the normal junk."

|"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton
|"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldnt make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan

Pray for our PATRIOT Newt! VOTE for him.
Going to the polls this coming Tuesday. I'm voting for Newt and I'm glad to get this one tiny time to flip Mittens the bird.
God bless you, sweet GF.
Newt was here in my hometown from 5 to 6 pm.
He was here at Delmarva Christian High School in Georgetown, and about 200 people attended. Newt gave a 35 minute speech, similar to the one he gave in Lancaster last night. Knowing there were many Christians in the audience, he tailored some of the speech to explain the concept of unalienable rights coming from God and not from government.
He posed with everyone for pictures and was very affable.
By 6 pm he was out the door and on his way up to Wilmington, about 90 minutes away.
If Delaware can give him a win next Tuesday, it would be a game changer. If we can get Newt to Tampa, we might get an entirely differeent raced than what has been decreed for us by TPTB.(the powers that be)
I believe that is true and I will do my part. It's very late though. Even at the meeting in Dover, there was a large contingent of "Mike Castle Republicans."
Hey, noob, welcome to FR.
Are you a troll? Are you a Romney operative or a Dem operative?
Because you sure don't sound like a conservative.
Happy one week anniversary here tomorrow.
Delmarva Christian school bout a mile up the road from my house.
Newt's been all over the place this past week, 9-11 patriots meeting in Millsboro. Nice to have someone so interested in little Delaware. Most times they skip us by.
and i'll tell you something else....they're really worried about the momentum Newt's been building up. the Blue Blood GOP's out with all kinds of nasty about Newt...telling us don't be dumb again like we were with Christine O'Donnell.
Screw 'em. I'm voting for Newt, husband too, with a hop, skip and a jump and songs in our hearts.
Hard to believe he has a chance in Delaware. It's basically a Philly suburb, one of those blue eyesores on the map. It's not Newt country. I think he oughta be spending more time in the conservative regions of PA. Maybe he's calculated that Santorum is still going to get PA votes even though he's dropped out. Regardless, next Tuesday was always going to be a bump in the road for Santorum or Newt with all the blue states. May is the month where most primaries are favorable to conservatives.
I see bright lightning in your immediate future, Romney-bot.
Been here an entire 6 days? I over looked that. Sorry I bothered with a serious reply.
New York: 92 delegates - winner take all
Connecticut: 28 delegates - proportional
Pennsylvania: 72 delegates - delegates elected not bound to a certain candidate
Rhode Island: 19 delegates - proportional
Newt wins 17 delegates in Delaware...Giving him 152 delegates little more than 10% of the necessary delegates. Give him proportional in PA. Give him 50% in Connecticut. Still only 188 delegates. Total. I am not asking Gingrich to drop out ,however he does need to ratchet up his support.
Romney would have 685 + 14 + 36 + 8 + 92 = 832. I gave Newt 50% of Ct, RI, PA. If Santorum's delegates go for Newt, that would be an additional 262' for a total of 424.
You got that right. Sorry. But Registered DE Republicans did oust Mike Castle, a 40 year RINO. The state will be blue in November. But there is a small chance Newt could win the primary. He contends that would "change the narrative. I hope & I hope. It does not help that Christine endorsed Newt.
Hey A-Hole, it was a meet and greet by invitation only and those have a max of 25-35 people, so Newt can actually talk to the people attending.
A friend of mine was at one in NC this weekend and actually sat at Callista's table and they were overrun there with extra people who just showed up...
so why don't you go and do what you do best in the woods...
Yes, the good old Mike Castle Republicans.
We have a lot of them from Dover north.
Here in Sussex, not so many. Even though O'Donnell lost, it was the GOP leadership that was changed in this state.
Mike Castle was a Rove supported SOB. Thanks to him we did not replace Biden with a Republican. And they are still giving that clown awards.
Wow a hundred people??? Do you have any more articles to post about Newts travels? Are you his travel agent?? When Newt wins a primary, please post the info so we wont miss it....
I knew the poster of this piece would respond to that comment and waited for his response . I'm not sure where he's comming from and I've had a run in with him. He called me a lady infers I'm a soccer mom when I'm 80 years old and have my stuff in Reagans library . Although he does post Newts stuff. He is a smart ass and does pull the I'm smarter than you krap off so he might be working for a tenure at some lib college. For his rebuttal tactics are Alinsky's .
Pat, I'll be dumb for O'Donnell and/or for Newt ANYTIME!
Thanks to those now-out-of-the GOP-power structure bluebloods, we got that idiot Coons instead of a solid conservative in Christine. Who knew that Coons wanted to repeal DADT?
The missus and I were at the 9-11 meeting in Millsboro; got to speak to Newt and Callista, and the missus got her picture taken with them. Wonderful, warm people.
Delaware never seems to matter to the politicians. Even Biden said in 2008 he was from Scranton PA, never that he was from Delaware. For Newt to invest so much time here is very much appreciated by us here in DE.
Maybe I'll run into you hop skipping and jumping to the polls next Tuesday here. Good to "see" you.
Onyx, you pegged it about the GOP-E Republicans. We call 'em the Mike Castle bluebloods.
Even though Christine O'Donnell lost in 2010 after her primary upset, it exposed the complete corruption of the GOP-E structure here and all the top ones were ousted.
Luckily, I live in Southern DE, which is very conservative and has a distinctly Southern flavor and culture(we are bounded on two sides by the Mason Dixon line!). Lots of excitement for Newt here.
It is going to be by word of mouth. Talking to folks tonight, everyone agrees that Newt is our only means to thwart Romney, who is known here as not being conservative or even Republican.
Newt pegged it on his visit to Millsboro on 4/5—Delaware is a small state where everyone knows everyone it seems. I'm a transplant from NJ, so it was a little culture shock moving here, but it what I was looking for. The whole state is like a small town and the family/friend connections would make an Etch-a-Sketch screen turn solid black!
Thanks for the encouragement and pray with us that DE would once again be "The First State" in getting Newt on the path to Tampa.
JJ, northern DE is hopelessly Dem. That is where the largest part of the population resides.
As you go south, the state has fewer people but they are more conservative. The blue turns to purple in Dover, the capital, about half way down the state.
When you get to God's country where I live ( ;) )in Sussex County , it is mostly conservative with lib enclaves at the beach areas. Lots of folks from DC and Baltimore retire here—with low taxes and proximity to beautiful beaches, it is a great place to retire!
But don't tell anybody, OK!!!!!!!!
I believe in and pray for miracles.
Confucious say, bearinthewoods should not stand next to tallest tree in the forest during thunderstorm.
Nothing like ending your first week with a bang!
ROFLOL. Thank you very much, Admin Moderator!
Thank you for taking out the trash!
Palins friends should be less immediately worried about what the Obama campaign will do to her than what the McCain campaign will do.-Peggy Noonan
I was forever in deep doo-doo with the DE GOP hierarchy because I absolutely REFUSED to support Castle. I did not support his Dem opponents, but would not put my name to anything in public support. I was able to get away with it mostly because I was in Dover and was on exec committee of in my district and was always willing to fill in when needed.
I used to like Mike personally not politically, but never forgave him for stabbing Janet Rzwenicki(sp?)in the back when she ran against Carper to replace him as Governor.
Thanks, Gabz, for that background. My experience is only recent, but it looks like Mike Castle has some experience in being a backstabber.
He was the epitome of a SoreLoserman in 2010.
BTW, good to "see" you around again.

In short: race of two halves.......downhill half.....then an uphill halfDate of review: October 31, 2014
Date of review: February 27, 2012
In short: This was our first race, really enjoyed it, but that hill does go on a bit!! Nice T shirt.Date of review: October 30, 2011
In short: I keep coming back despite that hillIn full: Make no mistake this is not an easy race. The two mile long hill, although not steep seems to take its toll on the old legs. At least, unlike most years, the wind was not blowing so that was a crumb of comfort.As it's one of my more local races I always try to do it but that hill doesn't get any easier.A very well organised event of which Accrington RR can be proud.Date of review: November 3, 2010
In short: Hilly, but good race.In full: Quite a tough 10k with lots of hills, but no seriously steep ones.Friendly marshals. Nice atmosphere.Nice t-shirt.Date of review: November 2, 2010
In short: first time i've done this run and i'll be back for more. In full: A challenging run in that the majority of the first 3 miles is downhill before a 2 mile gradual climb. The last mile was ok though. Like someone else has said, the hill climb was made easier due to there being no wind. Date of review: October 31, 2010
In short: great race, great t-shirt, well organisedIn full: thanks to all marshals/volunteers and spectators for shouts of encouragement,weather was ideal this year, last year I remember a head-on wind going up the hill made it even more challengingDate of review: October 31, 2010
In short: Great marshals. Quite hilly, but a good one.In full: Few hills. One went on for ages....but nothing terrible! Very friendly marshals. Nice atmosphere. Great t-shirt.Date of review: October 26, 2009
In short: I will be back in 2010In full: Enjoyed the race there are quite a few downhills in the first 3 miles before you are faced with the hill and the driving wind in your face for a mile or so.Good encouragement from the marshalls and a nice t shirt at the end.Well done Accrington ACDate of review: October 25, 2009
In short: A challenging course, but a friendly race.Date of review: October 25, 2009

In short: Brilliant event and so well organisedDate of review: December 1, 2013
In short: Most enjoyable race I've done In full: Very good organisation before and on race day, plenty of cheerful marshals, glorious forest trail. No goody-bag, which I was pleased about - they're usually rubbish / waste of resources; instead a decent technical t-shirt. The only thing which would have made it better for me would have been disqualification of the first 250 finishers ....Date of review: December 4, 2012
