Skip to comments.Caption Barack & The Crow Tribe
Posted on 05/20/2008 9:35:33 AM PDT by Lucky9teen
US Democratic presidential candidate and US Senator Barack Obama, (D-IL), talks to Carl Venne, chairman of the Crow tribe, at a campaign rally in Crow Agency, Montana May 19, 2008. Venne presented gifts to Obama for his children and wife.

A young supporter of Barack Obama attends an electoral rally in Portland, Oregon. Obama is looking to clinch a symbolic majority of elected delegates in his quest for the White House, but Hillary Clinton insists their race for the party's nomination is far from over.
Myrtle Strong Enemy, 101, waits for Democratic presidential candidate and US Senator Barack Obama, (D-IL), to speak in Crow Agency, Montana May 19, 2008. Strong Enemy is the oldest woman in the Crow Nation.

"Hus du gezen in deine leiben, they darker than us."
Come to my casino- No, No, come to our casino and bring
Charles Barkley!
Obamunist - "Can I get me some of those delicious tax free Kools?"
Too much firewater...
Elderly America Hater - "I haven't seen a political figure so inspiring since Lenin, Stalin, Fidel, Hugo, Mao..."
They didn't believe in that "Change", it was imposed on them.
Awesome video:
The same kind of terrorists who support Obama did this:
Never apologize for them.
Never appease them.
Never forget.
Smacks forehead
"I could a had a V8"!
Barry should have made it clear in advance that he would decline being adopted into the tribe on general principle.
In "Dreams of My Father" he recounted his trip to Kenya and had some unvarnished things to write about his Dad's people. Gainful employment was not high on their priorities. They were basically the Clampetts/Scraggs in blackface. They were overjoyed at the thought they had a potential "big man" in America to milk for all he was worth. He disabused them of that notion tout de suite.

Howling Dog, meet Ears that Fly..
You don't have to be Indian to own a casino in Montana.
We have keno and poker machines and live poker tables. You can't swing a dead cat in Montana without hitting a casino.
Granted, but a lot of treaties were signed too. I'm sure they were sold with lots of promises and hype, just like time-shares.
"Oy! Obama is schwarzer dan ve are!"
Does that poor old lady know that other countries don't want her having a warm house and food on the table?
If the Obamunist becomes president we are sunk. There will be a new fairness doctrine and all media will be like
No no no Meshugena, LOYZEM GAYNE! Cop a walk it's alright.
For every promise Obama made the crowd yelled "Uumpa, Uumpa!"
While departing Obama was presented with a fine horse.
As he began to saddle up the chief said "Watch out you don't step in that uumpa."
"No no no Meshugena, LOYZEM GAYNE! Cop a walk its alright."
ROTFL ... excellent addition.
Vote for me: I'm not white. :D
Barak Whitey Hater
My first thought as well! But you beat me to it. Congratulations.
You beat me too it! First thing I thought of!
"We bestow upon you the tribal name of, "Eagle That Walks"!
(Off Camera) "Psst... don't tell him it means the eagle's so full of crap, it can't fly!"
Small medicine
I'd have thought Obama would court the support of the Hopi nation...
[L:] A renegade Crow warrior attempts to scalp Barack's ears...
[R:] "Whew... THAT was a close one!"
In the days of real Indians, (or "Native Americans"?, I thought they walked over the Aleutian land bridge from somewhere else.) did they always wear or have such elaborate costumes or clothes so perfectly sewn and with such bright colors, feathers and beads?
Was every Indian a chief? I know I was when I was, oh 9 or 10 years old.
Just wondering.
It strikes me at times that some of these FEATHERS are coming from some poultry shop in China, and nothing of the like was ever placed upon a head of a CROW CHIEF back in 1844. These bright red colors make me wonder, how much Chief is in the Crow, and how much Black is in the Obama......
"Was every Indian a chief?"
Now they are called Casino Manager or Pit Boss.
Or vice-versa...
Barack, look out! Huckabee's right behind you!
Time has not been kind to Sheryl Crow.
"Hey Mary Black Eagle, let's go over here so I can introduce you to my squaw Michelle Black Beotch."
"Hey Chief, when I'm President I'll give you guys the State of Wyoming if you'll get one of those wild horses to stomp my old lady."
From mow on your Crow name will be "Barak Strong Oder"
Bezerkly North!
Obama: "So, erm uh, are you in the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Can you play my MTV coronation ball?"

The Ultimate Guide: Volcanoes DVD
The Ultimate Guide Volcanoes DVD examines the latest volcanic survey data, and shows the scientific community's reaction. Traveling to Ecuador, scientists test theories regarding the volcanoes heating up around the globe. In the Ultimate Guide DVDs, the tests performed on Mount Tungurahua will help determine if future eruptions can be detected, saving countless lives.
The Ultimate Guide Volcanoes DVD is exclusive to the Discovery Channel Store.
Take a look at the latest volcanic survey data and marvel at the frightening number of volcanoes heating up around the world. The Ultimate Guide DVD asks if this a simple, geological coincidence, or the sign of some larger, potentially deadly pattern at work? Join one group of scientists as they reveal a number of cutting-edge theories to explain the sudden surge in volcanic activity. Then, in the volcanoes DVD, watch as they put those theories to the test at the summit of smoldering Mount Tungurahua in Ecuador. It's a high-stakes game of man versus the mountain; because if any of these theories prove correct, they could help forecast future volcanic activity and save lives all over the planet.
Shop for The Ultimate Guide Volcanoes DVD, and discover the mysterious rise in the temperature of volcanoes across the globe, and what it means.

Comments about this product:
I bought this dvd because of the title: The Ultimate Guide: Volcanoes assuming it meant describing how volcanoes form, types of, footage of eruptions etc. It is not that. It is a good movie about a specific volcano and its impact on a population, but not an ultimate guide.
- Current
- Entertaining
- Fairly short
- Has a story line
- Well explaining science
- Could have been longer
- Less of a guide
- More of a case study
- Needs more perspective
Best Uses
- School case study reviews
- Special Needs
Comments about this product:
enjoyable to watch especially if your are curious about volcano science and the challenge of how Volcanologists work to save lives.
- Informative
- Not What I Expected
Best Uses
Comments about this product:
Although informative, I would think a better title could have been achieved. This is NOT an "Ultimate Guide". It covers recent events, focusing especially on Ecuador. It really doesn't educate one about all volcanoes, but examines the volcanic history of the mountain in Ecuador. The photography is excellent.

I just had a glance at the first few pages - great work, Lobster. This will be very, very useful for a lot of new people.
Just one comment that came to mind - suggest the section on dial up modems have a sentence or two explaining what Winmodems are, that they may not work properly and that one will have to look for their drivers and try out the SL / Lucent pupget packages too. Dial up modems will probably be one of the biggest problems that most new Puppies face, I would think, so we should warn them about it....

Watch this space. We predict that Puppy Linux is going to be very big, while remaining small, fast and elegant.
(from a recent review)
Hey many thanks for your kind words
I think that is a good idea but do not know much about the issue. Perhaps you can add the required info and enclose the file? That would be easiest for me - I am just too lazy to do it . . .
Many thanks

This is good work, Lobster!
In a few places it seems to sort of miss its target audience a bit, such as suggesting non-menu-based ways to power off and reboot Puppy... why not use Start -> Shutdown -> Power off computer and Start -> Shutdown -> Reboot computer and keep the user in the nice graphical desktop world which Puppy offers to newcomers? Perhaps all the command line info (other than installation) should be relegated to an Appendix or a separate document, if this is really for newcomers?
Some of the details about BIOSes and such might be better as an Appendix, too, or on the Wikki, where the document can refer interested readers for details??
One more: regarding keyboards, "if you speak English, "us" should do for you" is incorrect... UK keyboards swap @ and ", for example. And some English-speaking people live and work in places where the default keyboard on a PC they buy locally is not the US one or anything close to it
This statement could easily feel very "USA-centric", and so be perceived negatively, if you see what I mean, when read by readers from (or readers living in) other cultures.
I've not read it all carefully yet, just skimmed. My "bottom line" suggestion is: don't get lazy/bored with this project of yours -- keep on refining it and it will become even better than it is already!

Yes - a new Pup image too - I updated page 6 of the slideshow to mark this honour. It includes mention of SimplePup, Gnome and Debian Puppy projects - probably others deserve mention too.
I had to stop using SimplePup for the silliest reason - no access to my bookmarks - pah! I have some of them at favoor.com
Talking of Gentoo (well OK we weren't but why let such details matter) I got the Kororaa MU mentioned working and it wobbles programs and rotates between desktops. For that I need over 300 meg of Ram and an Nvidia card. It was too slow to use with 256 ram.
Not for this cructacean . . .
New JWM 1.5 announced . . .in 1.0.9 perhaps?

Sorry, was this meant for me? I didn't see it until today as I was not at a computer...
The revised version looks good. Can I add these a few sentences to it? They are:
Many computers these days include internal modems (you'll know this if you connect your phone wire directly to the back of your computer when you are trying to dial up to the Internet). In order to save hardware costs a lot of these modems unfortunately rely on software to do part of their work - software that often only works in Windows. These modems are called "Winmodems." Winmodems may not... (etc.... and end with) To figure out your modem, search the Web for "Linmodems."
You're doing a great, great job, Lobster. Thanks a lot.

We had an awesome day. The tour started punctually. We got to visit all the places that were advertised. The guide knew very well everything and helped us with other things we needed and wanted to visit. We had a great lunch. So far the best we have had. Would totally recommend again.
I loved everything about the tour. Mehmet was an great guide, knowledgeable about history and about the small details of the city. The tour took us all around the area and we got to see how beautiful the city is and how rich it is in history and culture. I recommend it!
I was in Istanbul from 24 till 27 August '016 with my wife and three children. the guide mr. Murat Aksu was from 8.30 at our hotel, was very nice with a fluent and precise english. Murat had a very good knowledge about Istanbul and his history, also knew some hidden places for parking, breakfast, lunch and what's most important knew best place for baklava. i highly recommend this guide to ever one, especially if you are with children. thank you Mr. Murat,
we were taken to all the points of interest by our guide - the most important being it was at our pace . We were able to linger at places of of interest and bypass whatever we did not like to spend time on. The guide had good knowledge of the history of the monuments shown .
I'm very glad I had the services of Ahmet Yildirim. His communication skills were excellent, as was his knowledge of the city and its history and culture. He also took us to a couple of great lunches where we enjoyed some tasty examples of the local food. It was so easy to visit the main sights of Istanbul with Ahmet as not only did he know the quickest ways to get to them but had even bought tickets in advance for the second day after he had confirmed what we wanted to see. Normally I'm happy to explore on my own but with limited time in Istanbul he helped to maximise my time there to see the sights.

The American Income Portfolio uses a barbell approach combining, two different types of bonds that have historically worked well together. Investment-grade bonds have lower risk—they help provide stable returns for investors—while high-yield bonds have more risk, but also provide more income and potential for capital growth. By combining the two, the Portfolio seeks to give investors the best of both worlds: higher returns with lower risk.
Fact Sheet | Product Flyer
We believe the robust economic growth in Asia-Pacific countries is one of the most exciting investment stories in the world today. The Asia-Pacific Income Portfolio provides exposure to that rapid growth, attractive yields and potential gains from rising currencies. The Portfolio uses a barbell approach, combining investment-grade bonds and high-yield bonds, two groups of bonds that have worked well together historically to achieve higher returns with less risk.
The Diversified Yield Plus Portfolio is a diversified absolute return portfolio with a dynamic approach to global fixed income investing. It has the flexibility to invest across all global fixed income markets while seeking to maximize positive risk-adjusted returns. The Portfolio actively allocates between countries and sectors as market opportunities shift, reflecting our highest conviction ideas globally, with a large degree of flexibility to allocate to individual countries and sectors.
Over the last decade, the emerging-market corporate bonds market has developed rapidly, outstripping new issuance in the sovereign-bond market. We expect emerging-market corporates to be the fastest-growing sector of the fixed-income markets in the coming years, offering strong fundamentals and attractive yields. The Emerging Market Corporate Debt Portfolio invests in fixed-income securities issued by emerging-market corporations.
In just two decades, emerging-market debt has developed from a speculative, potentially high-risk investment category to a well-established marketplace. In many cases, emerging countries' economic fundamentals are stronger, and their credit quality is higher, than those of developed countries. We believe that emerging markets can be a valuable part of a long-term fixed-income allocation. The Emerging Markets Debt Portfolio invests in a broad universe of sovereign, quasi-sovereign and corporate securities from emerging-market countries.
The euro high-yield market has often been eclipsed by its larger, more mature US counterpart. However, in recent years, euro high yield has come of age, broadening and deepening dramatically. We believe that navigating this market requires special expertise, not just in the form of bottom-up research, but also of sovereign-risk and macroeconomic analysis. The Euro High Yield Portfolio seeks to produce high total returns through a combination of income and capital appreciation.
The European Income Portfolio employs a dynamic investment process that gives it the flexibility to allocate between sectors and credit qualities according to the prevailing expected return and risk outlook. High quality government, government-related, securitised and corporate debt provides stability, while high-yielding debt such as sub–investment grade and emerging-market securities provides income and potential for capital appreciation.
The AllianceBernstein Global Bond fund follows a conservative investment strategy, investing only in investment grade–rated bonds and maintaining a low duration. Our managers have the flexibility to invest in a wide range of countries and sectors to capture global opportunities and benefit from diversification.
The Global High Yield Portfolio takes a multisector, dynamic approach to high-yield investing. Our portfolio managers have the flexibility to go beyond the sub–investment grade corporate bond universe into any high-yielding issues or sectors that offer an opportunity to enhance risk-adjusted returns. We think that flexibility is crucial, because history has shown that no country or sector wins all the time.
The Global Plus Fixed Income Portfolio takes a dynamic, multisector approach to investing. Our managers have the flexibility to invest in a wide range of countries, sectors and securities in their pursuit of superior risk-adjusted returns. We believe that a dynamic approach is crucial, because history has shown that no country or sector wins all the time. Our portfolio managers seek to shift positions quickly and efficiently as opportunities and risks change.
The RMB Income Plus Portfolio allocates between the offshore RMB bond market and other Asian fixed-income securities, while maintaining maximum renminbi currency exposure. Investors' appetite for exposure to the Chinese currency has helped fuel rapid growth in the offshore renminbi-denominated bond market, "dim sum" bonds. However, the "dim sum" market is still in its infancy and the volume of investor cash exceeds supply, so we believe a larger pan-Asian opportunity set can increase diversification, income and total return.
The RMB Income Plus II Portfolio allocates between the offshore RMB bond market and other Asian fixed-income securities, while maintaining maximum renminbi currency exposure. Investors' appetite for exposure to the Chinese currency has helped fuel rapid growth in the offshore renminbi-denominated bond market, "dim sum" bonds. However, the "dim sum" market is still in its infancy and the volume of investor cash exceeds supply, so we believe a larger pan-Asian opportunity set can increase diversification, income and total return. The RMB Income Plus II Portfolio offers European currency–hedged share classes.
High-yield bonds have generated exceptional returns since the 2007–2008 financial crisis, but volatility and an uncertain environment have made some investors seek a more conservative approach to high-yield investing. The Short Duration High Yield Portfolio is designed to help investors capture attractive high-yield returns, but with less volatility—potentially resulting in significantly better risk-adjusted returns than the broader high-yield market over the long term.
The Unconstrained Bond Portfolio is a global, absolute-return focused portfolio that takes full advantage of our best research ideas without the constraints of a traditional bond fund. The unconstrained nature of the Portfolio allows the portfolio managers to pursue opportunities across global fixed-income and currency markets to build a portfolio reflecting our highest-conviction ideas. Tail hedging strategies seek to protect capital in times of severe market stress.

Could Scott Walker be that dumb?
Looking over the John Doe investigation materials just released, the probe into the staff of Scott Walker gives us some interesting alternatives in judging them. Was Walker so dense, so stupid that he did not know what was going on close to him while Milwaukee County Executive? Or was he so smarmy, so scheming that he took careful, sleazy precautions not to attach himself to all the felonies being committed by top members of his staff? Though dirty, smeared politics are involved in the Walker office, it would take either an idiot or a sullied plotter to keep from being directly attached to secret files and other illegal activities swirling around him in his Milwaukee office.
Being stupid is not a disqualification for being a top politician. Being dense can be overlooked by people with money and influence if they can follow orders. If someone writes a script for them and they follow that script, then intellect is not necessary. A sterling case in point would be Ronald Reagan, hardly an intellectual heavyweight. But Ronnie, the consummate actor, could carry out a script perfectly ...and he did.
Other intellectual lightweights who were elected or selected as President of the United States: Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge, Gerald Ford, and George W. Bush. And Reagan, the intellectual lightweight, seems destined to continue to fool the people and is lauded as a great President by many. Each of these men carried out the plan carefully devised by rich and powerful, behind-the-scenes manipulators. Scott Walker, with very limited education credentials, fits this pattern carefully. And he is developing quite a file of felonies surrounding him by key staff members. One can only speculate what will be further revealed in the ongoing, second John Doe. But the fact that Walker and his powerful, sometimes very secretive, supporters certainly are working extremely hard and spending huge sums of money to restrict this current John Doe investigation gives some hints.
Citizens in Wisconsin and the U.S. are lazy when it comes to learning the truth, studying the facts. As a result, we kind of get what we deserve. But deserving the likes of Scott Walker is sort of a bridge too far. I'm getting awfully sick and tired of rewarding political puppets who carry out right-wing agendas like an automated robot.

The weather conditions is just not a element when it comes to fashion i've discovered. And these Uggs or what i like to call :"moon boots" appear to present up no matter temperature. I've seen them with the spring fashioned with skirts, or inside the winter tucked into sweat pants. They are truly feel are only worn due to the fad vogue.
They have got seemingly popped up just about everywhere, i do not just affiliate them with the trendy girls i see, strolling about malls. These are worn by preteens, and even a number of mom's who no one has the heart to say definitely shouldn't be sporting them. Unless i'm mistaken, and they take place to get quite possibly the most relaxed parts of foot apparel to the current market. Or have females all fallen underneath a consumer cult mentality.
For my part, and i want to pressure that its my impression, and never which they actually seem ridiculous. I wouldn't brain it if when worn, say with pants where the pants are pulled in excess of the Uggs boots that would be fine. But this is not the situation. Ladies go out of their method to tuck them into their pants concerning show off the boots. They have no style and design to them its simply just a substantial boot that may be reminiscent of rubber rain boots, whom no person would be caught lifeless donning.
Are we so vulnerable to Hollywood, publications and media that individuals will dress in everything? Where by does it stop? I might like to have females remark to me and explain to me uncomplicated they bought it because they enjoy the comfort and ease and heat that they obtain, and that its an excellent wanting boot/shoe/hybrid piece of vogue.
For my part within the close to distant long run, all people that personal them will likely be ashamed which they ever wore them. Precisely the same way many of us experience era to era with vogue fads. Many of us share similar "oh jeez" response a person might have when seeing or referring to "bell bottoms." The topic is always an awesome conversation with mothers and fathers or persons from distinctive decades to discuss their vogue goof ups.
I desired to carry consideration to this fashion wonder or in my eyes blunder, as i am in disgust once i see a pair of Uggs strolling my way. I jump for the conclusion which the lady who has them can be a Esq persona. 1 who's spoiled, contains a pair of Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses, normally has her hair died, and trimmed and certainly not walks out of the house without a miniature model of what utilized to be a pet dog. The type who would never be caught dead exterior the home without, a manicure, or am i erroneous?

We spent Valentine's Day in New York City, visiting old haunts and making pilgrimages to vegan dining institutions. We rarely venture south of Portland these days, but spending a holiday weekend immersed in bustling consumerism is just the thing to break up the long, quiet winter. Plus, in New York you can buy gluten-free vegan donuts—that alone is worth a 7-hour drive.
A few observations before we get to the food:
• I'd forgotten how late in the day everything begins in New York. Early to bed, early to rise is not a good plan if you want to make the most of your time in the city. Late Saturday morning I made a mostly fruitless journey to the East Village to find only Babycakes open. You can't shop at Mooshoes until 11:30 or eat vegan ice cream at Lula's until 3 in the afternoon. I thought I'd kill time in some restaurant supply stores on Bowery, but no luck there, either (I ended up in Starbucks). At ten-thirty in the morning I was alone, except for delivery men ratting hand trucks over the sidewalks and art school kids still in their pajamas, escorting jacket-wearing terriers to the curb. Walking downtown in my bright green coat, red clogs, and $30 jeans, with my hair unstyled and nothing pierced but my earlobes, I felt old, square, and white. Leaving Maine reminds me that I am just a grandma trapped in a young person's body.
• We went back to Rod's old building, to see if his crazy downstairs neighbor was still alive and living there. I thought for sure she would have been dragged away by social services—she used to bang her broom on the ceiling at 2 in the morning and demand we stop partying, when we had been fast asleep for hours and the only blaring music was in her head. She also felt compelled to tape frantic and threatening notes to the door. Her name is still listed by the buzzers, but that doesn't tell us anything because so is LAKE, R., and he hasn't lived there since 2005.
• New Yorkers: I admire your efficiency, but when you bump into someone you are supposed to say "excuse me," even if you weren't at fault. This doesn't even require you stop walking. Seriously, you would all be happier if you treated each other like humans.
• Stretch pants are apparently back. Nine out of ten women (of all shapes and sizes!) walking around Manhattan last weekend were sporting the following uniform: black quilted coat, black spandex pants, and puffy winter boots (preferably UGGs). I predict this trend will fizzle out before it reaches Bangor (probably somewhere around Scarborough). It's too cold for skin-tight pants, and most of us have more padding than we'd care to flaunt. You don't even see stretch pants at the Bangor Y.
As I mentioned, my first stop on Saturday morning was Babycakes vegan bakery. Reviews online are mixed (people tend to either love them or hate them), but the prospect of gluten-free baked goods was too much to resist.
I ordered cupcakes in chocolate and vanilla, agave and chocolate chip brownies, and two donuts, one lemon-coconut and one cinnamon-sugar. About half the items in the bakery case were gluten-free (the rest are wheat-free, made with spelt). It's a rare thrill to be able to have so many choices, and I would have loved more time to consider my order. Unfortunately, even though I was the only customer in the shop, the girls behind the counter seemed put out by my deliberation. After forking over almost $20 (Babycakes is not cheap!), I strolled past shuttered storefronts and piles of garbage bags, shamelessly enjoying my incredible cinnamon-sugar donut. It was warm, buttery, and moist, with a spongy crumb and a crunchy coating of large sugar crystals. That donuts of this caliber are possible without eggs, gluten, or refined sweeteners gives me hope.
After lunch I tried the cupcakes. The famous whipped coconut oil frosting was rich and subtly sweet, like room temperature ice cream—probably the best I've ever eaten in my frosting-loving life. The cake itself was dry and dense; the chocolate was dark and delicious, but the beany flavor of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour shone through in the lemony vanilla. I had the bite-sized brownies for breakfast (shut up, I was on vacation), and found the chocolate chip brownie gooier and sweeter than the agave.
I made one more visit to Babycakes, hoping to stock up on cinnamon sugar donuts for the ride home, but found chocolate chip cookie sandwiches instead. The crunchy, slightly salty gluten-free cookies were unremarkable, but they held a generous dollop of that addictive frosting. From this recipe, it would take only a modest leap to create a vegan version of mankind's most deliciously evil invention, the Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie. For $5, I could probably do as well in my own kitchen, but Babycakes' cookie sandwich is better by leaps and bounds than anything I can buy in Maine.
Babycakes: four chickpeas
My lust for dessert fully awakened, I visited Lula's Sweet Apothecary, an old-fashioned ice cream parlor that is gluten-free friendly and entirely vegan. In other words, it's an earthly version of this agnostic's secret hope for Heaven.
Even though they were busy on Valentine's night, the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering samples and suggestions. I ordered a two-scoop sundae with coffee and coconut fudge ice cream, caramel and hot fudge, walnuts, whipped coconut cream, and a freaky red maraschino cherry.
I'm about to destroy this thing.
Lula's was the highlight of the weekend. The shop is comfortable and fun—behind the cash register, toppings are stored in the tiny square drawers of an antique pharmacy cabinet—and it was such a joy to revisit a favorite childhood treat without worrying about getting sick or consuming hidden dairy. The ice cream was perfectly rich, creamy, and soft; Rod couldn't believe his scoop of peanut toffee crunch was made from cashews instead of cow's milk.
This photo of the Lula's menu may be a little clichéd (I've seen it on several blogs), but it gives you an idea of their selection. Starred flavors are gluten-free. If I'd had a way to get them home, I would have bought several pints to go.
Lula's Sweet Apothecary: four enthusiastic chickpeas
Dessert wasn't all we ate—we saved room for smoothies and vegetables, too—but since this post is getting long, I'll tell you about our meals at Candle 79 and Candle Cafe next time.

Shop Dining Room Tables
Create the perfect dining room with a dining table to fit your whole family. No matter if your style is formal, casual, rustic or modern, The Dining Room Table Store by Home Gallery Stores is sure to have a dining room table you will love. When choosing the right table for your dining room, you need to consider placement,...
size, style, and use. Measuring and mapping out where your dining room table beforehand is going to be extremely helpful when you begin to narrow down options in the selection process. Is your style more formal or casual? Is your dining room an open-concept design or a separate room in the house? Will you be using your dining room everyday or is it only for special occasions? One of the biggest deciding factors we have found from talking with customers is whether or not you have children. Be leery of rectangular or square tables with sharp corners; instead a round table might be better off. Also, glass dining table tops tend to show fingerprints all the time and require more frequent cleaning.
The next big deciding factor is how many people will typically be using the dining room table on a frequent basis. A good option for people who only need extra room for visitors and special occasions is to get a dining table with a leaf. There are several types of leafs - a butterfly leaf, drop leaf, removable leaf and self-storing leafs.
A butterfly leaf is a hinged leaf that is kept stored in the table and when stored, folded in half to resemble a resting butterfly. To reveal the leaf, you must pull open the table top and a gap will open to where the leaf is stored. Then the leaf can be opened at the center hinge to create the extra space that you need. The length of your table will vary but a typical butterfly leaf is 18 inches wide.
A table with a drop leaf is a good option for people who frequently use need the extra space but do not want the hassle of having to assemble and un-assemble their table. A drop leaf table has a hinge on the side, so that the leaf can easily be propped up when needed or hang down when you need the extra space.
The most common type of leaf is a removable leaf; while it may be a little more inconvenient for those who are lacking storage space, it is a great option for those who need to be able to sit many additional people. A table with a removable leaf requires you to physically lift the table (not just table top like a butterfly leaf) to expand and create the gap where the leaf must be inserted. Depending on the brand, some dining tables can include multiple removable leafs of different sizes.
Dining room tables with a self-storing leaf are a good option for those who particularly need space in their dining room when the table is not in use. A self-storing leaf is very easy to use; simply pull the leaf out from the side of the table. Depending on the table, there can be up to four leafs, one for each side, making it a great option if you typically just need a small table but like having the extra room.
The Dining Room Table Store by Home Gallery Stores has round, rectangular, square and oval tables with the option of including a leaf or not in the exact style you want for your home.

Well, I know there are softwares and keyboards those are specially made for blind/ low vision users but I don't know much about them. BUT your experience with that young salesman GOT ME MAD. File a complain on him and make him pay for his disrespectful action. Some people just have no class.
My daughter just turned twelve and she has shown an interested in learning computers. She is completely blind but has a great sense of touch and hearing.
I've asked around on another forum, they suggested a desktop and a braille keyboard. I've taken strongly to their advice but, I thought I'd ask around and get as many opinions as possible.
We have two computers in our house, an old Apple Macintosh Performa 6200 (I no longer use this.) and I use the compaq that runs Windows ME.
I'm looking for a laptop that's 13 inches in size, light weight with good if not excellent battery life. Sturdy would be great, I know dropping any laptop would be bad but some must be more durable than others.
What laptop brand or OS do you think is the easiest to learn and has the least problems, and has great support for the blind? I'd like to get my money's worth, so all of this is extremely important.
I don't know much about computers and haven't kept up to date on any of them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I took her to best buy today to look at some computers but the young man there was very rude, telling my daughter not to "touch" the laptops on display. I explained to him that she was blind and he then insisted on saying blind people shouldn't have a need for computers. This discouraged her, but I refuse to quit looking. I sure hope this guy gets sacked.
Thanks in advance and I apologize if I've posted in the wrong forum section.

Portland Parks & Recreation maintains a variety of sports fields - soccer, football, baseball, and softball - throughout the city. PP&R also issues permits for Portland Public School District gyms. Applications for field and gym permits are processed and issued continually throughout the year. Call the Customer Service Center at 503-823-2525 for more info.
PP&R recognizes its responsibility to provide athletic field facilities for use by a variety of sports at many levels of competition. PP&R subsidizes use of city athletic fields to provide lower cost access to its residents. Portland City Council policy calls for a tiered subsidy for city residents based on need, and full cost recovery for other groups. To that end, additional fees will be included on the following specific athletic field uses: commercial, non-resident, and secondary season use.
The number of sport leagues requesting use of Portland athletic fields has increased exponentially in the past ten years. Primary and Secondary Season designations allow PP&R to focus on sports during their primary season by helping to manage overall costs. Secondary season fees have been added to assist in recovering the costs of maintaining fields beyond primary season play.
If you have questions regarding these fees and how they may affect you, your league or sport, please use this online comment form.

September is always an exciting time here at the office. It's fun to see girls and volunteers ready to start a new year of Girl Scouting. We love catching up on what everyone has been doing over the summer and hearing about all the fun activities they have planned for the year. It's also the time of year when we are busily recruiting new girls and volunteers.
Our membership staff spends these first few months of every school year visiting hundreds of schools across our 30-county jurisdiction to spread the word about the many benefits of the Girl Scout program. I've heard them say that recruiting the girls is one of the easiest parts of their job because once they hear about the many fun activities in which they can participate, the girls eagerly say "sign me up!" However, convincing the right person to volunteer as leader to a new group of girls is one of the most challenging things we do. Because of this, we almost always have a list of girls on the waiting list to become a Girl Scout. Some of these girls are lucky and find a troop within a few weeks, while other girls will remain on the waiting list for many months or may never find the right spot.
As you know, being a Girl Scout volunteer is a special job. It requires a lot of hard work and dedication (not to mention patience and organization), but the rewards are priceless. There's nothing like having a little Daisy tell you that she just had the best day ever, or an Ambassador say that you have helped her become a strong, courageous young woman. These are the things that keep you volunteering and really do make the world a better place for the girls you serve.
As you go about your travels this fall, please share the message of Girl Scouting with others. Let them know that the experiences your girls have had and the lessons they have learned will serve them for a lifetime. Spread the message that being a Girl Scout volunteer has changed your life, and encourage others to volunteer and do the same.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Can't get the date and time stamp to set for correct time and date. Tried all the instructions, but it wont work.
From: Charles: Acworth, Ga, US:
Comments: like everyone who's posted its a great camera. However after only working for approx. 2min of recording the red light goes stationary and the blue LED begins to flash I press the "stop recording" button...nothing happens....I try to power down....nothing happens....then after leaving it alone for awhile the blue LED goes stationary and now I'm able to power down, turn it on and begin recording again. When I plug it into the computer (windows 7) LED's flash and shows its charging, after only 5min LED,s go stationary showing fully charged. Using a pin I'm able to hit reset which turns it off. Any help!?!
From: Jason: Kenner, LA
Comments: I agree with Randy from Austin, TX. The lights never go off so you can't tell if its charged or not but I also can't get the files to copy as the instructions say to do, therefore I can't format the time due to the file restrictions. The problem is it also will not allow me to delete any videos.
Any suggestions?
From: Sam: Gainesville, FL
Comments: Great camera. One problem is it wont charge on my Mac and when plugged into my windows laptop the charging light never goes off. No indication if the battery is fully charged.
From: Randy: Austin, TX
Comments: this is so cool...I cant believe it is not restricted, incredible sizing, sound, color video and reliable. I can't beleive the technology for self protection.

On April 28 at approximately 7:05 p.m. on the Lawrence/Tan Seeps Road, just off of I-70 at milepost 131, a 16 year old male, Travis Robbins of Brighton, Colo., died from injuries incurred when the Honda 250cc motorcycle he was riding collided with a horse trailer.
The youth apparently was on the wrong side of the road, while going around a sharp curve and laid the bike on its side ending up in the path of an oncoming truck pulling a horse trailer. The driver of the truck moved over as far as possible to avoid the collision, but the young rider ended up under the horse trailer.
Friends of the boy came upon the accident and one of them was an EMT who administered CPR, but the youth died at the scene.
The accident is under investigation by the Emery County Sheriff's Office. Trooper Ed Bentley and Sgt. Darrell Mecham from the Utah Highway Patrol and Sgt. Gayle Jensen from the Emery County Sheriff's office were the responding officers to the scene. Sgt. Norman Vuksinick will complete the medical examination report for the accident.

When it comes to certain things in the default industry, many folks seem to equate "leading edge" with anything paperless. Nowhere is this more true than in REO invoicing.
If it's electronic‑if people are writing checks with their accounting software or online banking tool‑ many figure that's progress. But when you consider that approximately 66% of all U.S. consumers paid bills online in 2011 (according to comScore, Inc., a Reston, Va.-based marketing intelligence firm), and that more Americans now use debit cards instead of cash, you understand that there's no longer anything special about electronic payments. It is the "new normal."
Here's the rub, though: For REO managers, being "normal" is not enough – especially not for those dealing with large portfolios and blizzards of invoices, and in an environment where every dollar counts. In other words, it's not enough to receive invoices by email. It's not enough to use your accounting software to make payments. And it's certainly not enough to blindly set up automated payments when billing circumstances could change at the drop of a hat.
What asset managers and default servicers need is more. But what does "more" actually mean?
Let's Start With More Hustle
Most REO managers today pay invoices one at a time. Many dedicate staff specifically to take care of such functions, and nothing else. This strategy is not without reason. Nobody wants to miss an invoice or pay more than they owe. The downside is that this process is not just slow, it's extremely costly–and that's not sustainable, particularly when it's possible to do more with less.
The key to more nimble invoicing is automation. Whatever system is used, it needs to be capable of automatically generating payments as well as allow vendors to submit invoices electronically. Before widespread use of the ATM machine, consumers had to go to the bank during business hours to get cash. But today, ATMs can read and accept personal check deposits without the assistance of a teller. Why should our invoicing processes be any different?
More Precision
With the right technology, invoicing becomes nearly instantaneous. But what happens to accuracy? While some level of human oversight is necessary, today, rules-based technology is lifting much of the burden. "Rules-based" describes the manner in which a technology solution can be set up to automatically handle specific invoices and determine a proper course of action. For example, an electronically submitted invoice can be "proofed" against an REO firm's financial accounting software to determine whether payment has already been made or whether the invoiced amount is within a previously agreed-upon rate.
Rules-based invoicing systems also allow managers to set their own rules for tracking invoices, such as segregating invoices per location and property type, or sending out automatic notifications to specific team members who may be needed to review and approve the expense. This gives REO companies improved control and fewer mistakes–and keeps their vendors happy.
For example, let's imagine you have a property in your portfolio which needs the lawn cut once per month. You receive an invoice not every month, but every two weeks–or the same original invoice is resubmitted. The servicer's invoicing system can be set up so duplicate invoices are automatically declined. Users can also set up specific cost parameters on various types of invoices, so if a utility bill comes in higher than expected, it will be flagged and sent to the appropriate staff person for review.
More Intelligence
While most Americans buy products and services and simply pay the bills when they become due, a smaller group uses financial accounting tools and software to get greater understanding about where their money is going. This allows people to make smarter long-term choices about their spending habits. With invoicing technology, REO managers can do the same–and more.
For example, are your REO invoices within Fannie Mae's or Freddie Mac's supported expense claim fee structured? Your invoicing system should be able to tell.
And when integrated with financial accounting software, your invoicing system should let asset managers compare invoices against budgets and see whether tighter cost controls are needed.
Finally, it should be capable of running audits and creating ad hoc reports, which only help REO managers meet predetermined targets but enhances the decision-making process regarding REO disposition.
Invariably, every new innovation in society–whether it is personal computing, hybrid automobiles or human space travel–was created when people raised their expectations of what was possible and demanded more. Today, paperless invoicing is following suit and has fast become the new "normal" in REO management, but the technology exists to do much more.
Properly leveraged, automated, rules-based invoicing technology saves investors and REO oursourcers, servicers and vendors time and labor while reducing loss severity, making them more profitable while creating healthier relationships with their partners.

Love these shoes!
"I have 2 other similar pairs of the Bostonians with the Flexlite sole - they are the most comfortable dress shoes I own by far. Great for long days through airports, dinners, work, etc.I also like that they are suitable for wearing with jeans or dress pants - makes it easier to pack light.The material is very light weight, so I was not sure how it would hold up - my oldest pair is 2-3 year old and I expect to get at least that many more. The uppers hold up very well, keep a shine sufficiently.I tend to prefer wide widths, but these were comfortable in a regular width. Length is true to size.Absolutely recommend. If I ever heard these were discontinued, I would immediately buy another pair; would not want to be without them."
