Skip to comments.Pelosi: House can pass bill with Democratic help (Boehner surrenders to Pelosi, too...)
Posted on 01/01/2013 4:58:30 PM PST by jimbo123
Echoing her words at a press conference earlier in the day, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) called Tuesday afternoon for an up-or-down vote on the fiscal cliff deal passed by the Senate. She wrote on Twitter that she was confident the bill would pass the House with a strong majority of House Democrats.

Bonehead should turn the gavel over to Pelosi. She is running the show
in the house anyway. Bonehead is simply a tool for the K-Street Money
I think they only need 26 Republicans to pass this. Have at it!
HL Mencken, I think you can kinda see where he was coming from when he said back in the day: "Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance. No one in this world, so far as I knowand I have researched the records for years, and employed agents to help mehas ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people. Nor has anyone ever lost public office thereby."

Tax increases now for future spending cuts. Are they REALLY that stupid?
Maybe we should call him Boner Bender. I guess we know which team he's taking one for.
Perhaps Boehner should look into amendments - at least enough that the bill looks like something a patriotic American would support and not the usual socialist class-warfare drivel.
The only thing that could possible save this country is if a huge majority of people would accept that both parties are as phony as a bunch of three dollar bills. They go to cash in. Even most of the so called Tea Party congress people. They cower to the elite as soon as they get there. Why? Because they want to be re-elected and keep getting the perks.
The proof is that every Tea Partier in congress should have been screaming to high heaven about West getting screwed. But they left him to the wolves.
A brand new party is the only answer. And it's probably too late. But I really don't know why I care. I'm too old to give a damn anymore.
We are witnessing the 'political' Appomattox of this country. Forces lead by McConnell and Boehner have surrender on the hope that they will be able to salvage more in future meetings.
The election was the time for a change in leadership but we didn't get it. Now, it will not happen either. There will be no revolution by any politician in the House or Senate.
The fix is in. All the players are lining up and applauding each other for avoiding ....
You just know in a few months when they have the Debt Ceiling vote the Republicans will get ZERO spending cuts..the Dems once again play the GOP like a fiddle..Boehner is such a disgrace
Whenever some poor deluded republican freshman actually believes cutting the size of government is a worthy goal we know how the leadership reacts.
The House will pass it without amendment
Of course the bill will pass with help from the marxists.
They vote in lockstep. The republicans are all over the map. If they could all work together, they could control the government from the house chambers.
Just as I predicted when plan B was killed, but I didnt expect the crappy replacement to extend all that spending. This bill is crap.
complete capitulation
"Tax increases now for future spending cuts. Are they REALLY that stupid?"
May I assume your question is just rhetorical?
They never fought so it would be inaccurate to say they surrendered. Besides the ONLY thing they hope for is to salvage reelection. Boner and Canker are vile, deadly diseases.
Very well stated. The Tea Partiers wanted to force some amendments, Boner and his ilk wouldn't agree to vote for the amendments, hence the straight up or down vote, knowing all the while they will have about 180 Dimwit votes. So this bill will pass with a coalition of dems and republican leadership (although chickensh*t Canker will have the cover to vote against it).
The real problem was the complete capitulation of the republican senators.
Told ya.
"Tax increases now for future spending cuts. Are they REALLY that stupid?"
All that was not won on this round can be had in negotiating the increase of the debt ceiling. BHO has no leverage on that one, but Boehner and McConnell will likely blow that too.
You can surrender without being in a fight. The Pubbies never put up a fight.
Studying history: During the War of 1812, American General William Hull surrenders Fort Detroit and his army to the British without a fight; In May 1782 the British commander at Nassau, John Maxwell decided to surrender the island without a fight when confronted by the superior force.
The Pubbies never had their heart into protecting the American Public ... as you said they only want to salvage their jobs, their positions.
They can't even put up a fake front convincingly. Their heart isn't in it. Many have no convictions to stand by ... just the spur of the party line they've bought into.
I think I am going to put return to sender on all of my Republican mail. This whole thing has turned into a joke at the expense of God loving, God fearing, hard working, taxpayers. If God only requires 10 percent (and it is all his anyway including our next breath). . .why should we give the government more than that. Maybe they are being threatened with blackmail. . .who knows.
I don't know what anybody expected. After Boehner couldn't get the republicans to vote for ANY of their own bills, and he couldn't even get a majority to amend the Senate bill with spending cuts, what other choice does he have?
It is clear there are enough republicans who will support this plan, and since the conservatives have proven they will provide no support for anything that can pass, this is essentially what the conservatives have worked to achieve.
Certainly we are all smart enough to know this. If you wanted to push for purity, this was exactly what we were pushing for. A horrible bill, but it doesn't have conservative support.
It remains to be seen if this is better than participating in the process.
RINO begone!
Each and every one of those Republican Senators who voted for this monstrosity need to be voted out of office! Ditto to any GOP Representative in the House who votes for it.
At the VERY LEAST, if that Surrender Monkey gets this bill passed with all the Democrat votes and a minority of his own party, HE SHOULD BE VOTED OUT OF THE SPEAKER'S POSITION!!
I can;t BELIEVE this is going on!
I have said it before and say it again, the GOP must be destroyed at this point. Only conservatives in that party deserve our votes and our money.
Why didn't Boehner make "Plan B" just a little more acceptable to conservatives?
Do you think it wise to cut them out of participation?
(For goodness sake he could have got it passed if it had a cut on Big Bird in it- even Romney wasn't afraid to come out for that!)
Why should the Party fight so hard to protect the few RINOs?
The stone simple fact is that NOTHING is going to pass that includes any cuts in social security, medicaid, medicare or Obamacare.
Not now, not in 25 years.
At 51 I know of not a single person who will settle for one inflation adjusted cent less than the people 10, 20 pr 30 years older are receiving or have received. Anyone belonging to any party other than the Democratic had best come to terms with that fact or go through being the Bad Guys every single year when we go through this crap.
I'm not making a value judgement, I'm merely stating a fact. There will be nothing resembling an 'entitlement' cut, not now, not in the future, because the Democrats and the moderate Republicans will face sheer hell from their constituents, tea party or no tea party.
This is the new reality. No one my age, that is near but under retirement age is going to support anything that even vaguely resembles a reduction. At least not enough of them to make the slightest difference in the electoral makeup of the federal government.
I'm sure there are a few people who will just say some blather like "Just give me what I paid into it and let me go on my way". Not going to happen. This is the political reality.
Very few in my generation have been able to, or really even tried, to provide for a retirement that doesn't take into account Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and related programs. Whatever else the government is "supposed" to do it has no choice about doing this.
Just a cranky, Gen X'er who has pretty much gotten used to the Republicans looking like extras in a three stooges movie when the pies start flying.
Flame away; I got flamed aplenty when I said the polls showed The One was going to win, laughed all the way to Vegas.
Seriously. If you believed that the stand to not increase any taxes was going to lead to a permanent extension of the Bush tax rates, you are an idiot.
I don't think you are idiot. The argument was that conservatives would not vote for anything BUT a full extension of all the tax rates, and therefore would force the democrats to pass the tax increase, and therefore they would own the tax increases.
That is what happened — in the house anyway, where a majority of the republicans voted against the bill.
There were only two outcomes possible:
- The conservatives compromise on some set of tax rates higher than the expired Bush rates
- The conservatives refuse to compromise, and a set of tax rates supported by democrats will pass.
The 3rd option, continuation of the existing Bush tax law, meaning all the tax rates reverting to their year-2000 level (adjusted for inflation), was never going to happen, because it was clear the democrats had enough support from republicans to keep taxes from going up for most taxpayers.
So if you thought that by holding out, we'd get taxes increased for everybody, you would also be an idiot.
When you control only 1/2 of the legislature, and don't have the presidency, and current law includes a huge tax increase (meaning you can't stop it by simply not passing something), and a majority of the people oppose your plan, it is impossible to get everything that you want.
So you either compromise, or let the other side do what they want. We essentially chose the latter, although frankly given that we ceded control, we did better than I would have expected.
I think we could have gotten the highest tax bracket set higher, and I think we could have included real spending cuts, if conservatives would have voted for the bill with the tax increase. But they wouldn't, and so we had no bargaining leverage, and we were stuck with what we were stuck with.
Now we'll see if that strategy worked. The democrats own the new tax rates. I don't see how we make them pay for that, but we'll see.
RINO begone!

Research Directions 2012
by gwilson on Aug.18, 2011, under Uncategorized
Every year the BIMS faculty sits down and discusses what research they might pursue for the sake of teaching and capstone projects. With the start of school only a week away, we have narrowed our focus to a couple of very promising avenues for student research. We thought you might like to know what's made it to the top of our list for possible projects…
1. Bioactive compounds in the environment. Last year we began work to gear up use of the yeast estrogen screening (YES) assay to test soils and waters for the presence of estrogen-mimic compounds. Such compounds have been implicated in estrogen-fueled cancers, early onset of puberty, and other such health issues. Our early discussions this year have included involvement of Biochemistry in the use of the screen for testing area ground water and soils while Biology capstone students (BIMS 4201) may pursue use of biofermenters to produce mixed populations of microbes capable of destroying the chemicals. So, using our resources to identify the problem and find solutions. I like that!
2. Spore physiology and ecology. During my doctoral research, I made some discoveries that have gone unreported and have not been pursued since. My work was on Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), a bacterium of economic importance because of the insecticidal crystal protein produced when it forms spores. Unlike the rest of the Bt world at the time, my interest was not in the crystal but in the biology of the spore. A part of that work involved studying, essentially, how diet influenced spore properties. I found those spores created in high sugar environments were larger and more resistant to heat, UV, and harsh chemicals, and germinated differently than did spores created in low sugar environments. I am teaching an Advanced Microbiology course (BIMS 4491) this fall where the students will resume the research with our goal to present results at the Texas Branch ASM meetings in March and to publish our results before the end of the year. Students leaving McMurry with presentations and publications is a good thing! Because the work is so expansive and offers so many opportunities for students to jump on-board, other students doing capstones may also find a piece of this puzzle they want to pursue. This research teaches some great basic biology and microbiology and has tremendous biomedical importance – after all, Bt is the simulant used for research on anthrax!
Some might look at the type of work our students pursue at McMurry and determine that the research done here is not as "cutting edge" and sophisticated as that done at large universities. Rightly so, and without apologies! Our intent is not to invite undergraduates to wash dishes or "piddle around" on the fringes of our research, but to be the main contributors to our work – much as graduate students are at those large universities. Every student is exposed to research here, and they are integral to our progress – not footnotes to graduate students' success! Their work is the main course, the entree and not the parsley and onion soup. The fact of the matter is there are always plenty of questions of interest and importance to be answered that are left behind as the juggernaut of big science crashes forward. We will gladly fill in the blanks left behind as they rush onward. Such questions provide a fertile ground for learning and discovery. We are student-centered in our teaching and in our research. BIMS at McMurry is simply "science done better".

The Reason for the Season
James also helped me unpack and display our Nativity. I love this Nativity scene (from Costco). It's rather large and the detail in each piece is lovely. I got to explain to James why we celebrate Christmas and to remind myself also.

It's so easy to forget the reason for Christmas, isn't it? We too want to work on teaching our son the story of Jesus' birth, so what a display is a great way to do it!ReplyDelete
Amen! :-) Love that Nativity scene! :-)ReplyDelete
I love that Nativity scene! Do you remember how much it was?ReplyDelete
Never mind. I found it online :)ReplyDelete
It just warms my heart that you got to share the true meaning of Christmas with James! I hope he has a wonderful Christmas. I put ours out last night and although Noah is too young to understand the meaning of Christmas I still want to teach her what it is.ReplyDelete
Such a special Nativity. I think we need to scoop up a real tree as well {a small one!} Can't wait to see your home decorated!ReplyDelete
That IS a great nativity. And from Costco, Perfect! I try to incorporate the true meaning behind Christmas in everything...even in the process of decorating.ReplyDelete
That is a great Nativity Set! I LOVE IT! I think I'll get one too! The one I have is tiny...from Macy's the year before last. I was thinking of doing a tree for each of my children... but that would mean 5 (including a main one in the living room). I can't imagine James around his wittle tree!!! CUTE CUTE CUTE!ReplyDelete
Would love to see Jame's mini tree! How cute!ReplyDelete
It's so special to share the true meaning your children. What a beautiful nativity!ReplyDelete
Thank you for keeping us focused on the reason for the Christmas season!ReplyDelete
Pretty! I love nativity scenes... I don't have one yet, but I may attempt to create one this Christmas. We'll see if I can find time!ReplyDelete
Do you keep baby Jesus out the whole season? It was traditional in my family to leave the manger empty until Christmas day to symbolize the advent season - the waiting!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, I read every one! I try to answer questions in the comment section since many readers are "no reply" and so everyone can benefit from the response- so please check back. :)

My lo has just turned 1 yrs old a few days ago. It seems that everytime i'm turning around she's throwing a temper tantrum. For example, we've started trying to climb the couch, but we have no concept of hight and falling. Just when she's about to launch over the side of the counch i pick her up and put her back on the floor and say "dangerous, don't do that". Which leads to a temper tantrum of waving our arms, screaming and crying. Even if i try and redirect her she immediatly tries to start climbing again while crying. I've tried picking her up and comforting her but she doesn't seem to make a difference. This is just an example of how she responds when she doesn't get her way. Sometimes this can go on for 10 min! I"m wondering how you guys deal/dealt with temper tantrum at this age.
No announcement yet.

it's not your job to stop the tantrums, but rather support her through them. reflect feelings to her like "oh, i see you're mad, you REALLY wanted to climb on the couch." let her express herself and work through it and she will gain confidence in herself and trust in you.
there's an article in this back issue of API's Journal that you may find helpful. it's called Decoding Tantrums: here.

These are a few of my favorite tantrum reads!
Struggles are OK
by Patty WipflerShe began, as a toddler, by having huge cries about not being able to get her shoes on by herself. She would try, fail, and cry over and over again. When her Mom tried to help her, she would reject the help. She preferred to struggle.
When an upset arises, we want to put an end to it as quickly as possible. Some parents try distraction or reasoning; others use intimidation and force. Whatever our methods, conventional wisdom has it that it's our job to end the upset. We require our children to tuck their upsets away and be "good" again. We don't want them to grow up to be uncivilized, and we don't want to feel or look like "bad" parents with "bad" children.
But what if, contrary to what we've grown up believing, tantrums and other expressions of feelings are actually useful? What if a tantrum is like an emotional sneeze--a natural reaction meant to clear out foreign material? Perhaps the usual struggle of parent versus child at emotional moments doesn't have to take place. Perhaps we can throw away the mental chalkboard on which every meltdown is a mark against our children or ourselves.

AMY-bwing, bfing, cosleeping, attached mama to Conner, the love of my life and the best thing that ever happened to me! Born 3/15/2008
Can you let her safely play on the couch with you holding her or standing close by? Does she know how to climb off the couch safely feet first with her stomach against the couch? If not you could teach her. My LO just turned one as well and we go through the same thing. He mostly wants to play with things he can't have. He also likes to climb up on the table if we leave a chair out. I let him play on the table with me holding on to him and that seems to work most of the time. I think letting them explore with supervision is the best solution whenever possible. That's how they learn about the world.

so i've been trying a lot of different ways to help her through her temper tantrums. Yesterday however she shocked me. Yesterday i noticed my dd had a dirty diaper and i was taking her to the change table to change her. She really didn't want to have her diaper changed. She lost it and started screaming, clawing at my face a bit me several times when i tried to move her hands away from my face. I tried saying. I understand that you don't want your diaper changed right now and that your angry but you can't have a dirty diaper", and "no biting biting hurts". I was astounded that my precious little girl could turn into this person! she's normal such a happy go lucky girl. But ever since then it seems that she escalates to this faster everytime. I'm not sure what to do. Some mom's tell me she needs a time out. But at 13 months how much of that will she process. I tried to give her a hug (kinda pining her arms down so she couldn't claw at my face) while talking to talk camly/soothingly to her but she bit my neck! Any suggestions on how to deal with this much emotion coming from such a young babe? Does Dr. Sears's postive discipline deal with this young of a person?? any links that you can think of that may have some information about when a toddler bites??Last edited by smurfsammy; 05-19-2009, 09:29 PM.
When DS was 15 mos, he would flail and drop to the ground if he didn't get his way. Screaming all the while. I felt frustrated and completely ill-equipped to deal with him. I found that through literally stopping everything we were doing and sitting at his level talking calmly to him (sometimes for 10 minutes straight) he was able to calm down enough for me to acknowledge what was bothering him. I would say things like, "are you frustrated about ___________" or "did you want to play with _____________?" Trying to find the connection to his feelings.
99% of the time it worked. For the 1% it did not, I would give him a hug and a kiss and tell him, "mommy loves you" and stay in the room until things calmed down.
As far as the biting, he did bite once in a while; usually when he was over-stimulated or he sensed upset in the room (either from another person, or *hard to admit* me), or if he was upset about something and didn't know how to express himself. What worked for us was to immediately say, "ouch" and "that hurts". Then I would put him down, step about two steps away, count to 5 then pick him up again, telling him that I love him and then continuing on our original task. I must say, sometimes that routine needed repeating several times in the same situation.
When my daughter had her first and only temper tantrum she was about 18 months or so. She got down on the ground and started to kick and scream. I picked her up and told her that she could cry but kicking and screaming was not allowed. I put her in her crib with the door open and she got a 1 minute time out. No warning nothing, just straight to her room. After that she nursed and cuddled for a while and I got her calmed down. I think the shock probably solved the problem (she would normally get 2 or 3 tries before the time out) because she never did it again. For the next while I just kept telling her that she can be mad, she can cry but it's not okay to kick and scream. Problem solved, she has never tried it again to this day and she's 6 now. That said if she had tried it again she would have gotten another time out with the same message.
I've continually reinforced the idea that being mad and crying is perfectly okay but having a fit, throwing things, that kind of stuff is simply not acceptable. She uses her words now and will actually say "I'm mad at you Mommy." and then we can have a conversation about why.

Redemption SongPosted on 12/05/2010 by Mary
HALO Honoree Lauren got a raw deal growing up. Being in an abusive home was bad enough, but being removed from that house by the courts didn't solve her problems. She bounced in and out of 22 foster placements over the next couple of years. It sounds like an unbearable lonely and frustrating experience.
It would be so easy, in Lauren's position, to become self-destructive... and it sounds like Lauren definitely went through a period of that. And it would be enough of an amazing story just to know that she found the strength to reject hopelessness, to pick herself up and create a better life for herself. That would be incredibly inspirational... but Lauren's heart and strength are even bigger than that. She's turning around and helping other kids and teens who are in the same situation she got through, showing them by example -- tirelessly -- that their futures can be beautiful.
You can see even in this short little video that Lauren has a totally nurturing heart... she looks like she gives some of the world's best hugs. I'm so psyched to learn more about her story, and to see her get the recognition she deserves, this Friday on the HALO Awards.
Freeing Slaves -- in 2010Posted on 12/04/2010 by Mary
In Ghana, children as young as three years old are sometimes sold into slavery by their desperate parents. We might think of slavery as something from our history books, but there are actually more slaves today than at any time in human history -- 27 million by some calculations, according to the Clinton Global Initiative.
Next Friday on the TeenNick HALO Awards, you'll meet honoree Joshua Hall. He traveled to Ghana as part of Journey for Change, and became close friends with a former child slave named Donald. Since then he's become a powerful advocate on behalf of child slaves, even speaking at the United Nations.
To Joshua, it's natural to try to help wherever it's needed, even if that means traveling to the other side of the world. I'm so excited that the winner of the How Do You HALO Sweepstakes will get a taste of that kind of perspective-changing travel, too...
Man, next week is going to rule.
Internal BeautyPosted on 12/03/2010 by Mary
Let's be honest: people can have some preconceived notions about pageant winners, just like they can about cheerleaders. But I think we can all agree... peoples' actions are a lot more important than their labels, right?
One of this year's TeenNick HALO Honorees is Jordan Somer. She's a dancer and a pageant winner -- this year she was crowned National American Miss Nebraska Teen. But she has a much bigger agenda than winning titles and being in parades. After regularly volunteering with the Special Olympics, Jordan was inspired to create a new pageant for girls with disabilities, called the Miss Amazing Pageant.
Jordan was 13 when she started Miss Amazing. She works her butt off on it -- it's not like this is a pageant with a huge staff following orders. For Jordan, it's a lot of running around, coordinating, raising money, making sure things run smoothly, and giving the participants the attention they deserve.
You'll get to know a lot more about Jordan next Friday, when the 2010 TeenNick HALO Awards air at 8p et. Who knows what she might inspire you to accomplish?
The twitter account that saved lives.Posted on 12/02/2010 by Mary
He grew up mostly in Haiti before moving to Miami, but in so many ways Herold Charles is a typical American high school senior: glued to his cell phone, into Michael Jackson, talks a mile a minute. And there's something else about him that I think any of us can relate to: before January's earthquake, he knew Haiti needed help but... he just didn't know how he could be that help.
But when disaster struck, he found a power in himself that he didn't know he had. And with it, he reunited families and literally helped save lives.
Remember at the beginning of this year, when a 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti, how terrible we all felt? So many of us cried at the images we saw; we donated what we could to organizations providing aid and wondered aloud, "What can we do?" I remember generally feeling kind of helpless about it all.
But imagine how you would have felt if you were far from your home, and you turned on the TV and saw those images of devastation... and realized that was your home? What if your family were there, in Haiti -- with millions homeless and 200,000 dead -- and you couldn't contact them?
Next Friday, December 10 at 8p et when the 2010 TeenNick HALO Awards air, you'll learn about how Herold lived through that nightmare. What happened next will inspire you, touch your heart... probably make you cry again... and above all, will help you realize that yes, you really CAN make a difference.

By now maybe you heard about our How Do You HALO Sweepstakes. You can get all the details about it and enter to win over here.
I love this sweepstakes for two big reasons. The first is that I'm looking forward to reading all of your tweets about how YOU Help And Lead Others, and all the big and small things you're doing in your own life to make the world a better place. Just looking at some of the first entries now, I'm finding out about all the recycling clubs you're members of, the animal shelters you're volunteering at, and the wonderful organizations you support. I feel so good about the world's future just hearing from all of you.
And the second big reason is that I think the grand prize is truly priceless. This trip that the winner and his or her friends are going to take... it's a journey that I really do believe will be life-changing.
Doing service like this in a place where it's desperately needed can't help but give you a new perspective on the blessings of your life. The feeling in the winner's heart after this trip... it's better than any money or limo or anything. It's the light. And to experience that light alongside cast members from Degrassi... y'all are going to bond. It's going to be for real.
We can all get a glimpse of that light when the 2010 TeenNick HALO Awards airs on December 10 at 8pm et. See you then.
Keep it locked,
Chairman Nick
How do they find time to HALO?Posted on 11/29/2010 by Mary
I'm reading about the 2010 TeenNick HALO Award honorees and am totally in awe of what they're doing with their time and energy... working to heal the broken foster care system, keeping attention flowing toward Haiti, running a pageant for girls with disabilities, and fighting for the human rights of child slaves.
When I read about them, the second thing that pops into my head (the first being: "I need a tissue and I want to hug that person") is: "Where do they find the time? And the energy? To be doing normal school loads AND finding time for all those meetings and phone calls and effort?" Because I think we all care about improving the world; when we hear the stories of people who need help we all want to help...
But the thing I loved about the HALO Awards last year is how, once you see the whole show and really get to know the honorees, you realize they're really not that different from you or me. They're not superhuman -- they're just somehow getting it done.
I think all of us have the potential -- you know how sometimes you're doing something you love and it just puts you in the zone? And you have all of this attention for it and time for it because it feeds your soul in some way?
I think if we're lucky, we can all find our calling, like the HALO honorees did. The thing that feeds our soul so much, that spending lots of time on it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Are you a fountain of Degrassi knowledge?Posted on 11/29/2010 by Lisa
Do you know Spinner's real first name? The name of the strip club where Alex worked? What Peter can say in Swahili? Who Gerry Halliwell is? The name of the song Fiona sang (badly) when she auditioned for the Degrassi musical?
That sort of random Degrassi knowledge will get you far in our newly-updated Degrassi trivia quiz. Each time you take the quiz, you'll get ten questions, but if you come back and take it again later, you'll get a different batch. The quiz pulls from all 10 season of Degrassi, so all that time you spent watching re-runs will finally come in handy.

Who's the best brother on Degrassi?Posted on 11/27/2010 by Mary
Each of the brother-figures currently starring on Degrassi -- Sav, Declan, Adam, and Drew -- get high marks on their brotherly qualities like support, loyalty, protectiveness, and forgiveness.
Which of them do you think takes the title for Best Degrassi Brother though?
15 Questions About Your Brother(s)Posted on 11/26/2010 by Mary

IUKA – After two weeks of success in running the ball, Amory saw a big return of its passing attack just in time to begin division play with a 60-14 road win on Friday night at Tishomingo County.
QB Jon David Poss took control of the game early, throwing TD passes of 12 and 31 yards to Devin McIntosh and Abaris Woodrick on the Panthers' first two possessions. Poss went late into the second quarter before throwing an incompletion.
Turnovers plagued the Braves' offense for the rest of the half. Hayden Williams picked off Tish quarterback Blake Hawkins to set up Woodrick's 41-yard scoring run, and running back Jackson Haines fumbled earlier in the half in a drive that ended with a missed Amory field goal.
"Top to bottom, it was a good performance for us," Amory coach Trent Hammond said. "Our offense played well, and our defense kept themselves off the field by creating turnovers. Our kids handled the kicks well."
Amory (6-1, 1-0) would rack up another two scores before halftime with Tanner Poole catching the third scoring throw of the game from Poss, and Dario Robinson finding the end zone from 5 yards out.
"We came out and pushed the tempo," Robinson said. "We kept their defense on their heels, and I think they ran out of gas."
Robinson would score again on the second play of the third quarter from 12 yards out. Haines would answer for Tish County with a 38-yard run of his own, but Poss' 17-yard scoring run on the ensuing drive put the game away to give Amory a 48-7 lead. Hawkins would add another score for the Braves on a 3-yard QB keeper.
Poss, who didn't play most of the second half, finished the game 17 of 18 for 243 yards and 3 touchdowns. Woodrick led the way receiving with 81 yards on three catches, while Robinson had three catches for 98 yards and rushed for another 41 yards.
Tishomingo County (3-4, 0-1) hits the road to face Pontotoc next, while Amory returns home to take on Corinth, which was handed its first loss of the season Friday night by Itawamba AHS.

Curly-haired women often turn to hair products with harsh chemicals in order to tame their curls and frizz. But in my experience, natural is by far the best way to go. It's taken me years to figure out how to take care of my thick, crazy, naturally curly hair, but I think I've finally gotten it down to a science.
At the risk of sounding like I have a big head (although actually, I do. Curly hair is big hair, and big hair equals big head!), I'll tell you that I constantly get compliments on my curls. The reason why? I don't fight them, I work with them.
Here's how I take care of my curly hair, using mostly all-natural products.

Skip to comments.Hiroshima vs Detroit -- 64 years later
Posted on 09/26/2009 5:38:11 PM PDT by SeekAndFind
Wow.............Bumpin' for later!
I see some similarities in these photos. Hiroshima 1945 is where dictatorships and religious extremism get you. Hiroshima Modern times is what you get when you have capitalistic ideals running the show.
Now if you flip the last paragraph and insert Detroit in place of Hiroshima then you get the idea. Liberal ideas have run the show there in Detroit for far too long.
The people of Hiroshima had already faced total destruction, so they were smart enough not to vote for a socialist. Detroit's people had never encountered the consequences of bad decisions, so they spent decades pushing for the most "liberal" government their neighbors could afford, with the crowning achievement last November. Karma.
A number of those Detroit Today pics are from the Packard Plant that closed in 1956.
If nothing else, the Japanese are a focused people.
I get your point though.
Do you mind if I link this on my Facebook page ?
BTW - I live only a few hours from both Nagasaki and Hiroshima by car . Never been to Detroit . Bronx and parts of Queens and Brooklyn bad enough .
We beat the foreign enemies, but had no way of dealing with the domestic enemies. We still don't. Witness the destruction they are causing.
Very good post, nonetheless. Thanks.
Thought experiment ( suggested episode for the Twilight Zone).
1) Imagine everyone in Hiroshima (population : 1.1 Million) today were teleported to Detroit.
2) Now imagine the same -— everyone in Detroit (population : 950,000) are teleported to Hiroshima.
What would happen 25 years later ?
I'd like Rod Serling to write a script and 30 minute show on that.
Moral of the story :
Liberals can nuke cities with more devastating effect than nuclear bombs. All it takes is to vote for them.
Well, Detroit would look quite nice in a whole lot less than 25 years. As for Hiroshima ... Japan forgave us once, more or less, but that was just over a couple of nukes. I doubt they would be so tolerant if we dumped a million kooks on them. It's sad, but it's the people who created that destruction in their own back yards.
Do a Youtube search for "abandoned Detroit"
THAT IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST MISTAKES THE CONSERVATIVES/REPUBLICANS HAVE ever MADE.
We have NEVER shown them in pics what they got with the DEMS...especially black people.
I got one link here :
The caption says :
It is an open secret that the downtown of Detroit, Michigan is as empty as the residential districts that surround it.
On a walking tour of the city core one July 2008 Sunday, this is what I found.
From the images and videos I have seen of Tokyo, I would say the Japanese seem to have an aversion to waste like Detroit. Much of Detroit is a wasteland.
You can Youtube "Abandoned Detroit"
Not all Detroit is like that...I stayed there at the Omni two weeks ago....it was all nice and clean..had a fun time.
I have seen that video. It is amazingly eerie.
Downtown is a ghost town..
Interesting article from someone who was originally from Michigan :
Detroit: The Future Face of America
Thanks . Just added the link .
if the soviets or chicoms or moslems had done this,
there'd be hell to pay.
but, fdr, eleanor, lbj, carter, clintons and the democrats did this.
You are correct . Every inch of available space is utilized . There are some very beautiful parks / spaces in Tokyo and still a few sections where you'd think you were in the countryside : quiet , green , peaceful ...But alas , they are getting scarcer as the megalopolis continues to grow .
Detroit = New Fallujah. Similar pictures?
Detroit: The Triumph of Progressive Public Policy
Imagine a city where all the major economic planks of the statist or "progressive" platform have been enacted:
* A "living wage" ordinance, far above the federal minimum wage, for all public employees and private contractors.
* A school system that spends significantly more per pupil than the national average.
* A powerful school employee union that militantly defends the exceptional pay, benefits and job security it has won for its members.
* A powerful government employee union that does the same for its members.
* A tax system that aggressively redistributes income from businesses and the wealthy to the poor and to government bureaucracies.
Would this be a shining city on a hill, exciting the admiration of all? We don't have to guess, because there is such a city right here in our state: Detroit
For a video tour of Detroit go to:
Their apartments are quite small, when you learn that people will pay to pet a cat for twenty minutes it should say something about those tiny living spaces.
Here's a chilling thought for Twilight Zone fans.
Aside from avoiding further and massive loss of American lives as our armed forces advanced on Japan, scientists were allegedly interested in nuking Japan for another reason: learning of the impact it would have on the environment.
Satisfied that no permenant damage was done, plans for the Greening of America were drawn up.
Go ahead and tar me !
Rev. James David Manning of Harlem has said that black people - generally speaking - are destroyers . Look around the world and just about everywhere you go you see evidence of this . As long as they keep blaming whitey ( not that we are perfect mind you ) for everything instead of moving on and becoming more patriotic while at the same time creating self-sufficiency in their communities with the help of whites AND putting more emphasis on FAMILY ( versus single mother households ) ...they will continue to be destroyers . They need GOD most of all . Too many have been hoodwinked by charlatan preachers who are no more Christian than Stalin .
gorgeous. doesn't seem to glow in the dark at all.
The Allied Forces, comprised mainly of the forces of the Soviet Union, the United States, the British Empire, with the assistance of their allied nations, partisans and resistants.
That square park surrounded by water. Is that a shrine? does it sit on reclaimed land?
So the whole thing is about the A-bomb. A-bomb this and A-bomb that, toy A-bombs at the souvenir shop....
That town needs a Six Flags.
I hear it was a grand city once. Now its just sad. The abandoned portion of Detroit is larger in area than San Francisco... so I hear.
Tiny living spaces they are accustomed to living in . A country of 135,000,000 living in a country smaller than the state of California which is mountainous and uses much of it's countyside's land for farming is going to have a space problem . I've got to laugh at Americans , who , when somebody builds a house 100 yards away complains about it !
Thanks again for posting all the pics . Arigato !
If I win the lotto I am buying me 1000 acres in Wyoming or something. I'll call it my country.
Anyway when the depot closed to trains and moved to Philly, the place was full of beautiful old wood furniture and the employee's could take anything they wanted from the offices as it was cheaper to buy new stuff after the move...He furnished his condo in Philly with much of the furniture from the offices...Beautiful oak and cherry conference tables and the arm chairs to match, I have a 7 piece (hutch type) set in my basement of a cabinet with all types of drawers for railroad plans and such...Doors, drawers, open shelving the base and the top cornice are separate pieces..He had barrister book cases from the turn of the century.
I googled to try and find out about the furniture maker (with no luck) as the piece I have has a brass medallion on the cornice with the Manufactures name...
The before and after pictures are enough to make you cry...I was there once in 1950 to see my brother off for the Korean war...It was awesome.(the depot not the war)....
People traveled by train most of the time as air flight was just too expensive, no expressways and the only Air Port was a couple of hours from Detroit. The old Willow Run airport...and those that traveled by plane were dressed like they were going to an important meeting....(my sister lived in Maryland and flew home once in the late 40's.)
Times they do change...as do the people, not always for the better...sad to say..
There's one site
a video from someone driving by...
What started Detroit down was forced busing...There was a principal of a colored school that went on TV greatly offended that whites in Washington thought his children could only learn if they sat next to a white kid...Many that could leave, both black and white left for the suburbs. That left the poor, both black and white and no tax base. With the riots of the 60's, business's moved out...Coleman Young was a racist and ran that town for about 20 years. When he finally was gone, so was Detroit...Everything was the white man's fault...just like today....He told those that committee crimes in the city to go out past 8 Mile(the border for Detroit) and commit crimes on the white folks...
Gee, I wonder why it has become a hell hole...
Good question! We got eaten by termites.
That's fantastic! Thanks for posting it.

Six thoughts 11/14/11: Jets 5-2 Lightning
Cam Charron
November 14 2011 09:13PM
After a tough 2-1 loss in Columbus, Winnipeg returned home to face a team that they hadn't beaten in 12 tries. They got the early lead, held on, pretty much controlled the game start to finish with probably their most impressive win yet over last season's Eastern Conference runners-up.
-First thing I noticed right off the top was that Claude Noel split up the Nik Antropov and Alexander Burmistrov. It's a gutsy move since the two have shown to have quite a bit of chemistry so far early in the year, but it worked out for all involved in the end. Burmistrov and Kane moved to what I guess you could call the top line with Bryan Little, while Antropov got re-united with Kyle Wellwood and were put with Andrew Ladd. Kane got a couple of first period points, and Ladd ended up with a second-period goal, so I guess these are the units we will see to start the next game.
-Dustin Byfuglien has received quite a bit of criticism for his defensive play, and, in fairness, he looks absolutely horrible in his own end sometimes. His instincts are offensive-based and he isn't real mobile with much acceleration, so I have to question what he's doing out on the penalty kill. Rather, his value as a defenseman comes from the plays he makes on the other end of the ice. He's very smart in the offensive zone and makes good pinches and usually finds the right play at the point. Every now and then, he'll let Steven Stamkos behind him, but that's the trade-off for a guy who keeps offensive possessions alive and takes 300 shots a season.
-Ondrej Pavelec made a few big saves tonight, and is quickly becoming one of the most fun goalies to watch in the league. I had a discussion with a Hurricanes blogger during the game who compared his style to Tim Thomas, except just 2.5 percentage points worse. He likes to leave himself a lot of space to move around in the crease and worries a little too much about making the great recovery save than cutting down an angle and maybe preventing a shot. Sometimes it works and he's lights-out, others he's not so good. Tonight was a combination of both and Tampa Bay missed a lot of opportunities in close, but he ended up with the quality start, stopping 29 of 31 shots, and all ten he faced on the penalty kill—four of which were on the 3-on-5 bit at the end of the second period.
-The speed of the Jets is definitely a factor. But puck control may be the big issue for the team. On two occasions during this game—Bryan Little in the second period and Blake Wheeler in a third—a Jet player got around a Tampa defender with speed but failed to register a shot on net.
-Tim Stapleton had a pretty odd tonight. He's been getting killed in possession matchups so far this season (he's a -15.54 Corsi On per 60 minutes with a 65.3% offensive zone start ratio) but tonight was a change of pace. His line with Jason Jaffray and Blake Wheeler had the most starts in the defensive zone tonight for Winnipeg and came out of the night unscathed. Stapleton even got a pretty goal, and it was good for Jaffray to get the big hit at the start of the night in his first NHL game back in Winnipeg after a 270-game career with the AHL's Manitoba Moose. The crowd really appreciated that one.
-On the Tim Stapleton note, speaking of unlikely heroes, where did Mark Flood come from? That's his third goal in seven games on the season. Sure, his shooting percentage is 38.5%, but it's always fun to see defensemen get on scoring streaks, even when they get killed in possession.

The Gospel according to Luke 8:22-25
At that time, Jesus entered a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, "Let us go across to the other side of the lake." So they set out, and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down on the lake, and they were filling with water, and were in danger. And they went and woke him, saying, "Master, Master, we are perishing!" And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves; and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, "Where is your faith?" And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, "Who then is this, that he commands even wind and water, and they obey him?"

First Names Beginning in "O" Translated into Hawaiian!
We feature over 4,000 phonetic Hawaiian name translations. This is a great resource if if you are looking for a baby/pet name or to translate the names of your Hawaii theme party guests.
When outsiders began visiting
A traditional Hawaiian name has a specific meaning behind it and is given to a child when they are born by a family elder. The child is typically named after something that came to a family elder in a dream, by distinguishing characteristics the child displays when born, or characteristics the family would like the child to display. For example the womans name Lani means Heavenly.
The Hawaiian translations we provide are phonetic and have no intentional literal meanings. The translations are done based on the sounds the name makes when said and the Hawaiian alphabet and word structure. Because there are only 13 letters in the Hawaiian language there are many names which sound similar and have the same phonetic translation. In order to obtain a literal translation of a name you would need to know the literal meaning the name then translate it to the same exact meaning in Hawaiian. We do not offer this type of service.

The Highlanders remain winless in 2013 after suffering a 19-7 defeat at the hands of the Chiefs at Waikato Stadium on Friday.
The Highlanders remain winless in 2013 after suffering a 19-7 defeat at the hands of the Chiefs at Waikato Stadium on Friday.
It was a case of close but no cigar once again for the visitors, who were still in the hunt with twenty minutes of a tight Super Rugby tussle remaining.
However, Chiefs full-back Gareth Anscombe gave his team some breathing space with two late penalties to seal the win and deny the Highlanders a consolation bonus point.
Both sides managed just one try apiece, with Anscombe's boot ultimately proving the difference between the two sides as Colin Slade failed in the goal-kicking department – missing three of his four kicks.
Having trailed 13-7 at half-time, the Highlanders also failed to post any points in the second half and remain stranded at the bottom of the New Zealand conference.
The Chiefs, meanwhile, are now just two points adrift of the tournament-leading Brumbies and will be hoping the Stormers do them a favour in Cape Town on Saturday.
The defending champions were on the board first through an Anscombe penalty which was followed by an opportunistic try from Tim Nanai-Williams to put them 10-0 in front after 10 minutes.
The Chiefs centre pounced on a Highlanders knock-on, collected the loose ball and raced half the length of the field to score a converted try.
From then on it was all the Highlanders though as they piled on the pressure, having dominated possession and territory. Slade missed two penalties, but they were finally rewarded when Aaron Smith burrowed over in the 20th minute. Slade's conversion closed the gap to three points.
A yellow card to Highlanders flank Jarrad Hoeata allowed Anscombe to stretch the Chiefs' lead to a six-point margin at half-time, and the home side's kicking machine continued to find his target after the break with a string of penalties to inflict yet another loss on their Kiwi rivals.
The scorers:
For Chiefs:
Try: Nanai-Williams
Con: Anscombe
Pens: Anscombe 4
For Highlanders:
Try: A Smith

Ulster put in a classy performance to defeat the Scarlets 28-17 at Ravenhill on Friday, booking a spot in the RaboDirect PRO12 final.
Ulster put in a classy performance to defeat the Scarlets 28-17 at Ravenhill on Friday, booking their spot in the RaboDirect PRO12 final on May 25.
Tries from Tommy Bowe, Robbie Diack, and Tom Court helped an industrious Ravenhill outfit secure the trip to the RDS in Dublin on May 25.
The Ulstermen, who led at half-time, were not at their fluid best, but had enough in the locker to overcome the tenacious and determined Scarlets.
The Welsh responded through Gareth Davies and Sione Timani, but ultimately were unable to match the intensity of the Irish side. Thus the first PRO12 semi was a little more one sided than anticipated. But Ulster will be exhilarated at their progress.
The home team got off to a promising start, exhibiting some efficient passing and lines of running. But the fluency of their play was hampered by some messy handling errors.
As it was, it was the Scarlets who opened the points-scoring proceedings on four minutes, through a well-taken kick by late replacement, Owen Williams. Pienaar leveled the scoreline two minutes later through his trusty boot.
Williams had a golden opportunity to increase the Scarlets' advantage on 16 minutes, but his well-struck effort careered off the woodwork.
Both sides were unnecessarily impeded on 18 minutes, when Andrew Trimble and Liam Williams were yellow-carded for a scuffle. The disruption unquestionably benefited Ulster more, as the hosts camped themselves in the visiting 22. After a series of infringements, Ireland winger Bowe squeezed in at the corner on 23 minutes. Pienaar duly converted to make it 10-3.
Pienaar squandered a gilt-edged chance to extend their advantage on the half-hour mark, but miscued his kick.
Although the Scarlets were competing ferociously in every facet of the game, it was hard to resist the conclusion that Ulster were achieving ascendancy in this phase of the game. That promise was delivered on 34 minutes when South African blindside Diack crashed over for the second try of the evening. Pienaar missed the subsequent conversion, however.
The hosts' scrum was now putting the Welshmen under all sorts of pressure. One such effort extended Ulster's lead on the cusp of half-time, as Pienaar slotted a penalty on the 40-minute mark to make it 18-3. Few could deny that the Irish province, although scrappy, were well worth their lead.
The hosts started the second-half in similar vein, pressurising the Scarlets' 22. Their intensity yielded dividends on 43 minutes, when Irish international loosehead Court bulldozed over from close range. Piennar nailed the conversion, making it 25-3.
The Scarlets' effort was not assisted by a couple of injuries at the outset of the second period. The match now took on an altogether more ragged complexion, as the conditions began to deteriorate under foot. Both sets of kickers resorted to a round of territorial ping-pong. But it was the Scarlets that broke the monotony on 60 minutes when Gareth Davies elegantly danced through the Ulster cover to score.
The Welshmen undid their good work two minutes later by conceding a penalty straight in front of the Ulster posts. Pienaar punished the visitors for their profligacy to make it 28-10.
It has to be said that the Welsh visitors displayed remarkable tenacity, and definitely were the superior team in the final quarter. Replacement Timani scored a thoroughly deserved consolation on 78 minutes, with his effort being converted by Owen Williams. But the hosts clung on to secure the final berth they coveted so much.
The scorers:
For Ulster:
Tries: Bowe, Diack, Court
Con: Pienaar
Pen: Pienaar 3
For Scarlets:
Tries: G Davies, Timani
Con: O Williams 2
Pen: O Williams
Ulster: 15 Jared Payne, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Stuart Olding, 11 Tommy Bowe, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Nick Williams, 7 Chris Henry, 6 Robbie Diack, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johann Muller (c), 3 Declan Fitzpatrick, 2 Rory Best, 1 Tom Court.
Replacements: 16 Rob Herring, 17 Callum Black, 18 Ricky Lutton, 19 Iain Henderson, 20 Mike McComish, 21 Paul Marshall, 22 Michael Allen, 23 Peter Nelson.
Scarlets: 15 Liam Williams, 14 George North, 13 Jonathan Davies, 12 Scott Williams, 11 Andy Fenby, 10 Rhys Priestland, 9 Aled Davies, 8 Josh Turnbull, 7 Rob McCusker (capt), 6 Aaron Shingler, 5 Johan Synman, 4 George Earle, 3 Samson Lee, 2 Ken Owens, 1 Phil John.
Replacements: 16 Emyr Phillips, 17 Rhodri Jones, 18 Jacobie Adriannse, 19 Jake Ball, 20 Sione Timani, 21 Gareth Davies, 22 Owen Williams, 23 Gareth Owen.

|In response to Re: Water Softener Constantly Draining
: Anyone had this problem? All of a sudden, my Kinetico Softener (10+ yrs old) is constantly draining. Doesn't seem to brine at all. I did have the system drained for a bit due to some lawn sprinkler work, but nothing else changed. At first I assumed it was just refilling the twin tanks, but an hour later it's still draining. I'm fairly handy, and would like to attempt the repairs myself. Thanks! BB1; Check out the valve (float) that controls the the amount of water to make the brine for a recharge.
It sometimes"sticks if there is a crud build-up in the resvoir. If that don't cure it, check out timing contact, it could be stuck on RINSE cycle. Hube

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Ethan Migliori is the director of the Small Business Development Center in Price. David Cassidy is the professor of marketing and business at the College of Eastern Utah together they gave a marketing workshop at the recent Castle Valley Economic Summit.
Cassidy said marketing is all about place, promotion, price and product. What is your product's quality level. Price cutting is not always the right thing to do. Your price can be too low and that takes away from the product.
The place where you get a product is important. We don't have luxury car dealers in our area. But, if that's the kind of car you want, you will find the place where it's sold. On the other hand, you don't want to drive to Provo to get a gallon of milk. So place is important.
A pie has different ingredients, the key is getting the proportions correct. We must adjust as the products and markets change. We can use outside factors, but we cannot control outside factors. Who is in competition with us for the consumer's dollars. Is it a direct or indirect competition? The consumer chooses where his dollar goes. They have choices.
What is the economic focus? When the feds lower the interest rate by a half point, it gives people a rosier outlook.There are good times to start a business and bad times to start a business. During the depression, things were very difficult for businesses. Things are looking good now for businesses.
The political faces can also affect what you are doing as far as gaining permits and new technology. Use technology, use the internet. The internet can make your small business a world wide business. A small business in a small town which depends on walk-ins is tough. But, the internet with a nice web page can open up your business.
You may be operating out of a closet, but the internet can make you more than you were in the past, said Cassidy.
Migliori said advertising is not marketing. When you put out an ad, you want people to react and promote a response. An ad should be a call to action and prompt people to come into your business. People buy products for the benefit not the features. Every product has a benefit.
You need to track your ads to see what return you get. In your advertising you need to create a plan to know if it's drawing people in. Advertising is not just running one ad. You need to be consistent over a long period of time. Tell a story with your advertising.
Create an emotional attachment. Create imagery, ads with cute dogs or cute kids. Create an image in their heads. Prompt an emotion. Your business name needs to tell what you do. Who is your target market?
Find a unique selling proposition, find a niche; you should state a benefit derived from using your product, no hassel, open 24/7, you call, we'll haul; your advertising should be aimed at and appeal to your target market.
The Business Expansion and Retention project has been interviewing local business owners. One of the things the interviewers hear time and again is that the community must be built from the inside out. Find out who needs your business and resources. Show benefits, know the benefits the customer will reap from buying from you and not the guy down the street.
Migliori told some popular sayings from products like Nike: Just do it and Mazda: zoom, zoom, zoom. There's no crying in business, just get in and get it done. Don't try to market to everyone, know your market. Know your market potential, you must know your market potential to understand if you will grow or remain stagnant. Make a list of your competitors, both direct and indirect.
Migliori told statistically a person will spend on average $1,644 per year eating out. In Carbon County, that is 31.2 million in sales each year. This restaurant he was speaking of had, $560,000 in sales which was 2 percent of the market share. "There is a huge potential for that business to grow," said Migliori.
Migliori said businesses with an internet presence have 30 percent more sales than businesses without an internet site. Research shows that if a visitor spends longer than one minute at your site, he will end up buying something.
"You need a marketing plan. You need to have a plan to get you through the rough times. Businesses get stuck on trying to cut their bottom line, but you can only cut costs so much and still produce a product. Grow the topline instead of trying to cut costs. If your focus is always the bottom line, the business will stop growing. Increase that top line," said Migliori.
"If business is going well and you want to grow your business at some point in time, you are going to deal with bankers. If you want to keep your bankers happy then feed them paper. They want consistency, they want their money back. Bankers like to know financial statements and ratios and inventory. They want to know how healthy your company is. Know your business, know what you need. Know your credit score, you are the borrower. The bank will want a personal guarantee for the obligation on the loan," concluded Migliori.
Migliori said they are offering more classes on marketing and to contact him for more information.

From: Kyle, Boynton Beach, FL
Comments: This stuff is really unbelievable. I can't believe I did not try wax sooner. It really does help repel snow & water from your blade and adds nice grip while stick handling and shooting. I will always use this product from now on. I love the name too!
From: Paul, CA
