Skip to comments.Chicken wing shortage threatens Super Bowl Sunday
Posted on 01/24/2013 7:47:01 AM PST by ConservativeStatement
First it was bacon, now it's chicken wings. With less than two weeks to go before the big game, football fans may find it a bit harder to find their favorite Super Bowl snack.
The National Chicken Council released a report that said the demand for wings this year is at an all-time high due to decreased wing production caused by the high cost of corn and feed prices. Wings are currently the highest priced portion of a chicken and cost $2.11 a pound in the Northeast, up 12 percent from last year.
(Excerpt) Read more at nypost.com ...
Go to Hooters, for both.
That reminds me. Did the Seahawks make it?
There was a time when wings were thrown away. The people of the Anchor Bar in Buffalo are due our thanks.
I'm doing a crawfish boil this year. There's a bumper crop of mud bugs this year and market price is already down to $2.25 lb for next week.
Shoot, I was able to have a boil for New Years and only paid $2.75lb
I haven't seen prices his low, this early in the season in years.
I heard a stat that said that 1.23 BILLION chicken wings would be consumed on SB sunday.
That sounds like a staggering amount, but...
if 1/3 of the country were eating wings, that would be 12 each.
if 1/10 of the country were eating wings, though, that would be 40 each.
I wish our local Popeyes had crawfish had`em on
their menu now.
Love cajun food of any sort
Justin Wilson got me started.
BBQ and Cajun...best eating in the world
"Go to Hooters, for both."
Good one Perdogg.
Me? I'll just buy 50 whole chickens and throw a LARGE party!
This is serious!
I demand an immediate release of wings from the strategic wing reserve!
"Wings are currently the highest priced portion of a chicken and cost $2.11 a pound in the Northeast, up 12 percent from last year."
$2.11 a pound is the highest priced pieces and parts of a chicken? Really? How much is breast meat per pound now?
I gave them up. There shouldn't be a shortage.
And they still don't have much meat on them.
There's an image at the NY Post's site that promotes that.
The north makes it a national past time to ridicule the hick hayseed rednecks in the south that raise chickens, 4 wheel in the mud, etc..... go suck on a fried pigeon wing for a change! That's about all you can 'raise'.... /[in jest]
Very innovative....kudos!
Hooters' wings suck
I never eat'em either. Wings are the nastiest part of the chicken. It's where all the blood collects and coagulates after they're slaughtered.
Enthenol! High prices.
Awww heck no....we gots them entitlement chickens down here now that don't even move around, peck for grain, no nothin! They's got some flabby meaty wings now......
Blatant fabricated BS story to up the sale of wings. God people are stupid.
We've started using drumsticks instead.
Due to a decrease in wing production?!? What, they are only raising one winged chickens this year?
Buying chicken wings is too expensive. Before you cook a whole chicken, cut off the wings and add them to a freezer baggie. Eventually, you'll have enough for hot wings. Wings saved from 77 cents a pound whole chickens sure beats the article's $2.11. Do the same with the gizzards and livers to use for a meal later.
Buffalo wings come from the newborn baby buffaloes. They shed them after 3 days. Anyway that's what I've been told. . .
If the wings aren't Halal the Detroitistanis will riot!
Glad I'm having pizza. ; )
Here in the Houston area there is a shortage due to a chicken distributor called Buddy's going out of business. I found out about this because I feed my dog raw meat and bones, mainly chicken necks and backs. Our bones supplier is unable to get chicken backs and necks at this time until someone else picks up the slack caused by Buddy's closing.
No wings allowed in the chicken & sausage gumbo.
Boil the carcass for stock instead of having to buy it.
Waste not, want not.
Back in the 1960's my Grandpa was looking at buying a small chicken farm in Georgia. Recently I was told that Georgia produces nearly 7 billion chickens a year.
Lotta wings!
In my area, boneless breast is priced from $1.59-1.99/lb, bone in is $.99-1.29/lb. We're eating a lot of chicken. Too bad I prefer beef.
The big plastic bucket that used to hold 1.5 gallons of cheap ice cream is now 1 gallon and 1 pint. I noticed a while back the 3 lb. margarine and sour cream tubs are smaller, too. Last week on the evening news they were reporting to be prepared that grocery prices were going to rise to a shocking 2% in 2013. Ha, they have been rising much more than that week to week.
We watched a new Gordon Ramsay show last night. He goes into a British prison and tries to teach some inmates to learn to cook.
Anyway he asks the head of the kitchen if he can borrow the kitchen and have his students cook Chili for the evening meal.
The supervisor informs him the prison is required to provide a choice of 5, FIVE choices.
The kitchen actually takes dinner orders from the inmates! The inmates get their food and eat in their cells. (good idea)
The real kicker was the choices.
regular chili
HALAL chili
don't remember the 5th
By the end of the first show it was apparent the inmates have it much easier on the inside. And Ramsay said so too.
"... there was a time when wings were thrown away".
Yep, I remember those days. Wings were crab bait or used to make stock. My Mom would buy a huge bag of them for next to nothing and make chicken broth.
Wings are currently the highest priced portion of a chicken and cost $2.11 a pound in the Northeast.
Michelle was unhappy with this "hottie" comment to Barry from 2010. And you want to know why we are in trouble as a nation?
President Obama, making a swing through Buffalo on Thursday, got a taste of the region's famously spicy chicken wings - and at least one very saucy female fan.
"You're a hottie with a smokin' little body," Luann Haley, 45, told the President as he checked out the fare at Duff's Famous Wings in Cheektowaga, N.Y.

Must be a big wing ding at the White House.
This week here:
whole chicken - .67
boneless skinless breast - $1.97
seasoned boneless skinless breast - $2.97
Also, several buy whatever chicken part or pre-cooked and get x,y,z free. But no mention of wings in weekly ads.
The kindergarten chicken finger club noticed that shortage as well.
The kitchen actually takes dinner orders from the inmates! The inmates get their food and eat in their cells. (good idea)
The real kicker was the choices.
regular chili
HALAL chili
don't remember the 5th
By the end of the first show it was apparent the inmates have it much easier on the inside. And Ramsay said so too.
If I were Gordon I would have just made Vegan Chilli and when a majority of the inmates got pissed off I would say, well some of you wanted VEGAN and the Other Halal so we boiled it down to the least common denominator.
Personally i think prisons should feed the inmates Stale Bread and "Protein Gruel" which is basically like dog food cooked with water to make it's own gravy.
If they cannot find enough stale bread, they need humid warehouses to actually MAKE stale bread to feed the inmates.
No biggie,,, food only interferes with my drinking . . .
I bought mine two weeks ago, they are in the freezer. On superbowl Sunday, they'll be thawed, deep fried, and a ridiculous amount of wing sauce applied. Really hot and tangy sauce. Served with celery strips and ranch dressing, used for intermittent periods of tongue healing.

"these shoes are beautiful and as another reviewer said they have just the right amount of sparkle. My only quip is that the mesh fabric doesn't sit as flush against my foot as I had hoped and you can see a little bunching here and there when you wear them. It is not a deal breaker at all as the shoe is still stunning and very comfortable. Fit perfectly!"

USA TODAY markets reporter Matt Krantz answers a different reader question every weekday. To submit a question, e-mail Matt at email@example.com.
Q: What should GM investors do now that the automaker is paying back all that bailout money to Treasury?
A: Those who derided General Motors as "Government Motors" will soon have to come up with another insult.
Hoping to unwind its 26% ownership stake in the automaker, which it took as part of the company's bankruptcy restructuring in 2009, the government is selling its 500 million shares of GM stock. The divestiture kicks off immediately, with GM buying back 200 million shares. The government aims to unload the remaining 60% of its stake, 300 million shares equal to 19% of the company, over the next 15 months.
TRACK YOUR INVESTMENTS: Get real-time quotes with our free Portfolio Tracker
The maneuver all but locks in a loss for taxpayers, because GM is paying Treasury $27.50 a share for its stock. Shares needed to be sold at roughly $53 for the government to break even on the bailout. Investors applauded the move Wednesday, with GM shares rising $1.69 to $27.18.
What about shareholders? Is the fact GM will be dropping government ownership a reason to buy the stock, or hold onto shares?
The divestiture puts investors' attention back on GM's fundamentals. Thanks to the restructuring, the company has lower debt and cost structure, says S&P Capital IQ analyst Efraim Levy in a report. The company's profit improvement and streamlined business with fewer brands makes the stock a "buy," he says.
Having the government announce it is cutting back its stake removes one of the big overhangs for GM stock, says David Whiston, analyst at Morningstar, who gives GM the firm's highest five-star rating.
There are still issues with the level of funding of the GM employee pension that are troublesome, but improvements in the business make the stock attractive, he says.
"There's lots of upside to the new GM," Whiston says.

National Gallery of Australia receives major bequest
The National Gallery of Australia has announced that it is a beneficiary in perpetuity from the estate of Orde Poynton (1906-2001) AO, CMG, MA. MD, LLD (Hon). The Gallery's Department of International Prints, Drawings and Illustrated Books will receive annual financial support.
The Bequest was announced by NGA Council Chairman, Mr Harold Mitchell, and Director, Dr Brian Kennedy.
'This is a magnificent gesture, a marvellous legacy for all Australians, and we are very proud to be associated with The Poynton Bequest', said Mr Mitchell. 'In recent years, the Gallery has received considerable private support, but a bequest such as that of Dr Poynton is on an unprecedented scale.'
Dr Kennedy said that Orde Poynton had given $3 million to the Gallery for international prints, drawings and illustrated books, between 1986 and his death in February 2001:
'Now with this extraordinary bequest, the Gallery will be able to continue to develop what is already a world-class collection.
The Gallery owes a deep debt of gratitude to Dr Poynton who, last year, was delighted to be honoured as an officer of the Order of Australia.'
Jane Kinsman, the Gallery's Senior Curator of International Prints, Drawings and Illustrated Books said:
'Orde Poynton was a remarkable if somewhat mysterious man. I was truly delighted to have worked with such a wonderful benefactor for some 12 years.
It was the opportunity of a lifetime to have been able to build such an outstanding collection of international prints, drawings and illustrated books, and we look forward to making further important acquisitions on behalf of the Australian public.'
Orde Poynton was born in 1906 in England of a wealthy family. He studied at Cambridge University where he trained as a medical doctor, but was also a student of the economist, John Maynard Keynes. Dr Poynton travelled the world before taking up a post in the Federated Malay States. During the Second World War, he was captured at the fall of Singapore and became a prisoner of war in Changi Prison. After the war, he came to Australia, taking up a post in Adelaide at the Institute of Medical and Veterinary Science. Following his retirement in 1961, he moved to Melbourne and became the consulting bibliographer to the University of Melbourne. He donated some 15,000 rare books and nearly 4,000 prints to the University.
Orde Poynton's generous benefaction since 1986, for the acquisition of international prints, drawings and illustrated books at the National Gallery of Australia, enabled the Gallery to buy rich collections of some 700 exemplary works by masters including William Morris, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, David Hockney, Frank Stella, and some of the Japanese woodblock prints seen recently in the exhibition Monet & Japan.
In 1992, in recognition of his support, the National Gallery of Australia dedicated a gallery space in perpetuity for the display of international works on paper and named it the Orde Poynton Gallery.
As a further tribute, in 1998 the Gallery commissioned the Australian artist, Brian Dunlop, to paint a portrait of Orde Poynton.
A publication Gift of Orde Poynton is to be published by the National Gallery of Australia.

Editor for this issue: Lydia Grebenyova <lydialinguistlist.org>
For Query: 10.1655 Dear Linguists, On 1 Nov 1999, I posted a query about 'Persian data and EPP', to which I received responses from Linguists below. While thanking them all, I post a summary to the list. I re-post the query itself for those who didn't see it. reesejuni-muenster.de JEREMY.WHISTLEnorthampton.ac.uk marsantousc.edu John.KoontzColorado.EDU suhailikuc01.kuniv.edu.kw peter.menzelfnac.net =============================================================== Dear Linguists, The Persian verb 'bayestan' (meaning 'to have to') is deficient in the sense that contrary to other Persian verbs it cannot be inflected for person. It may assume one of three morphologically isolated forms: (a) 'bayad' mainly used for present and future events (and even for past ones if the verb to follow is already inflected for past tense), and (b) 'bayest/bayesti' for past (but again not necessarily as they can be used with other verbs inflected for present tense in order to refer to a present/future tense event). Then when used in a phrase, it is the verb to follow that must be inflected for person and tense (although 'bayad' is not atemporal itself as mentioned above): 1. a. (Man) bayad beravam. I must go-1st-sing-present. "I must go" b. (To) bayad beravi. You must go-2nd-sing-present. "You must go" c. ... 2. a. (Man) bayad/bayest miraftam. I must go-1sr-sing-past " I had to go" b. (To) bayad/bayest mirafti. You must go-2nd-ding-past "You had to go" c. ... 'Bayad' cannot be an auxiliary verb because Persian doesn't use AUXs. Perhaps 'khastan' is the only verbial element that one may consider as a future-tense auxiliary in Persian: 3. a. (Man) khaham raft. I want-1st-sing.-future go-nonfinite "I will go" b. (To) khahi raft. You want-2nd-sing.-future go "You will go" c. ... Anyway, here it is 'khastan' that is inflected for tense and agreement; the main verb (raft) remains non-finite. 'Bayad' cannot be an auxiliary because it is the verb to follow and not 'bayad' itself that is inflected for tense and agreement. Interestingly enough, in Persian subjectless sentences like (4) below there's no inflection for agreement and tense on the second verb either: 4. Bayad raft. must go-nonfinite roughly meaning "To go is a must/ one must go" 'Bayad' is not inflected either. Perhaps it is just some temporal feature of 'bayad' that makes it still a (present-time) sentence. Although Persian is a prodrop language, one cannot assume that pro is the subject of such sentences. Actually, the sentence is neutral with regard to the subject, and whatever personal subject pronoun one inserts in the subject position will make the sentence ungrammatical: 5. *a. Man bayad raft. *b. To bayad raft. *c. ... The sentence will be still ungrammatical if a universal quantifier occupies the subject position: 6. * Har kas bayad raft. every one must go The grammatical version of (6) is: 7. Har kas bayad beravad. every one must go-3rd-sing-present This seems to be a violation of the Extended Projection Principle because it is grammatically necessary for the predicate 'bayad raft' NOT to have a subject. Does anyone know of similar phenomena in other languages? ==================================================================== "As far as your question is concerned, it is quite common in a lot of languages to have an impersonal construction of "must", like French il faut, Italian bisogna, Spanish hay que etc." Johannes Reese <reesejuni-muenster.de> - ------------------------------------------------- "I am not sure how relevant this example is but the French il faut partir (roughly equivalent to bayad raft) has a dummy subject insofar as 'il', although it is the third person singular masculine subject pronoun, cannot refer to any masculine singular entity nor can it be replaced by any other pronoun. However, the verb 'falloir' is fully conjugated in all tenses (but only in the third person singular). It is followed by the infinitive. I am not an expert in either Russian or Turkish but I wonder whether the Russian 'mozhno' (sorry, this is only a transcription) or the Turkish 'm|mk|n' (I'm not totally sure about the diareses) might parallel the Persian construction, although they are possibly non- verbal." Jeremy Whistle <jeremy.whistlenorthampton.ac.uk> - ------------------------------------------------- "It is unclear to me why you are assuming that pro cannot occupy the subject position of the sentence below: 4. Bayad raft. must go-nonfinite roughly meaning "To go is a must/ one must go" Since the subject of that sentence is interpreted as indefinite or arbitrary, it is not clear that it needs to satisfy the same requirements as referential pro. In fact, according to the most accepted theory (which developed from Rizzi 1986) person markings are not necessary to license non-referential null subjects (only number agreement is necessary). It may be the case, as Persian shows, that arbitrary pro can be licensed even without number marking (in fact any marking at all)." Marcello Modesto. <marsantousc.edu> - ---------------------------------------------------------- "This strikes me as a description of an impersonal verb, 'it is necessary/required' ~ 'it was necessary/required'. An analogy that occurs to me is Spanish hay/habia 'there is/was', also used in the sense of 'must', though my introduction to Spanish preceded my introduction to linguistics and my abilities with it are far from native-speaker level. I think that hay que SUBJ VERB is the construction (que 'that'), and there are no person restrictions. Perhaps also analogous would be the imperative construction favored in Pacific Northwest languages in the US (Indian languages). It is my understanding that they use a construction 'good that X' as an imperative. Somewhat different, but resulting in the same situation would be the modern Greek future in tha na X. I gather that tha na is uninflected, whereas X is. The formant tha na is documented as having evolved from thelo (I wish) na 'that', etc., which was inflected, but has 'worn down' to an uninflected form. I assume that the Iranian situation is different, since I suppose the -d is a reflect of the typical Indo-European third person marker *-t(i)? I don't see the application here, but another historical source of uninflected (not personally inflected) verbs is be + participle constructions with the inflected be form omitted, e.g., the Slavic pasts in -l- + gender/number instead of person, which evolve from past active participles in l." John Koontz <John.KoontzColorado.EDU> - ---------------------------------------------------------- "Modern Standard Persian uses two finite modals, XASTAN and TAVANESTAN, and two non-finite modals, BAYESTAN & SHAYESTAN. It is generally the case in diachronic change that some modals may develop, emantically and syntactically, into other forms. Therefore, BAYAD & SHAYAD are functioning as adverbs now. The fact that sentence (4) does not take a subject may be explicated in terms of agreement checking. As a first good approximation, the verb RAFT is an infinitive at D-Structure, preceded by an adjunct (adverb) at S-Structure. Thus, the infinitival element with null agreement checks null case and PRO will appear in such constructions." A. Soheili <suhailikuc01.kuniv.edu.kw> - --------------------------------------------------------- "What you describe appears to me reminiscent of what has been called 'serial verbs'. This is a phenomenon that occurs in various languages (e.g., Japanese, some West African languages like Yoruba, and -- much closer to Persian -- in Sanskrit based Indic languages.) In general, in verb serialization the first verb either remains uninflected or can be inflected only in very limited ways, whereas the second verb has the full morphological inflection. In Gujerati, which is closely related to Hindi, constructions which correspond to relative clauses in e.g., English, French, German, appear as something like conjoined sentences with serial verbs at the end. Hindi-type languages are more-or-less ergative and verb last. Come to think of it, *all* languages with serial verbs I know of are verb-last languages."

Skip to comments.Nancy Reagan Places Bouquet of Roses on Ronnies Gravesite
Posted on 06/05/2012 5:57:07 PM PDT by RobinMasters
Nancy Reagan placed a bouquet of white roses on the gravesite of her late husband Ronald Reagan Tuesday to mark the eighth anniversary of the passing of one of Americas most beloved presidents.
Appearing frail in a red coat, the former first lady then sat by the 40th presidents gravesite at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif.
Now 90, Nancy Reagan recently suffered broken ribs in a fall, and was reported to be recovering slowly.
The widow of President Reagan also made news recently by announcing her endorsement of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Having served lemonade and cookies to Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, at her Los Angeles home, she said that she is firmly behind the former Massachusetts governor.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
I miss the 80's so much...
On particularly stressful news days I actually will watch hours of 80's ads, and Reagan clips, on YouTube just to remember a age of sanity even if it's in the form of old commercials.
I miss Ronnie so much.
The image of Nancy placing flowers on his grave brings
tears to my eyes.
We can't let the vision of America that he held up
to us all die!
Obama must GO!
..my wife and I had the privilege of visiting the Reagan Ranch last summer. We stopped by the Library on our way home. We stood at his grave and wept—we really miss his leadership...
I fly in/out to/from Reagan DC airport frequently and the statue of him in front always gives me goosebumps.
When my wife and I get there, we will do the same...
I knew then, how great Reagan was.. but, I didn't know how RARE. :-(
bump that.
June 5, 2004 is a "I remember where I was" day for me.
The days of gentlemen.
RIP. Reagan was the only good President in my lifetime thus far, especially compared to the ones we've had since.
Timely (and highly relevant) message from a recovering Democrat- http://www.americanrhetoric.com/speeches/ronaldreaganatimeforchoosing.htm
I remember when America had a REAL president!
What a privilege it was to live in America when Reagan was at the helm!
Ronald and Nancy Reagan were class people. No other President and First Lady has come close to their status in the white house
I have no tissues in my house...I have to poach TP to wipe my eyes and blow my nose.
(I'm being serious)
I felt like my King died that day. Thank you President Reagan for keep America alive for a few more decades so my son could taste freedom, if just for a while.
You have me crying like a 3 year old.
God Love You!!!
I am bawling myself. I miss him so much. I was so proud to cast my first ever vote for Presiden Reagan.
So do I and for so many reasons!
Bless you for your vote! I wasn't old enough to vote for him.
The Scott Walker BLOWOUT WIN to tempering my sadness.
"The Scott Walker BLOWOUT WIN to tempering my sadness."
Ronnie's smiling tonight, somewhere;) Busting PATCO was one of the best things he ever did...but he should have busted ALL those creeps...
"Ronnies smiling tonight, somewhere;) Busting PATCO was one of the best things he ever did...but he should have busted ALL those creeps..."
I agree with you 1,000,000%!!!
Amen to that.
Amen! .....I do too....
I miss Ronnie so much.
The image of Nancy placing flowers on his grave brings
tears to my eyes.
We cant let the vision of America that he held up

Perfectly said, tet68.
I will never forget that, watching President Reagan's service and seeing Nancy, still wanting to be with her Ronnie one more time. I still cry thinking about it.
A giant of a man. I miss him.
Boy, that really sums it up. Those were the days when grace, dignity, and class represented our country and echoed in the halls of the White House and across the land. Reagan was truly a man who wanted to and felt honored to serve his country. Rather than the Occupier we have in there now who wants to be served. Reagan was a man of self-confidence, self-discipline, high principles and humility. Rather than the ever-searching for his own identity, lost in space, needing constant adoration, falsely proud, and without scruples Obama.
In essence, Reagan was an honorable man who you would trust with your checkbook, or to take care of your family, or your life. Obama is like the sneaky teen hoodlum on the corner with his wisecracking, easy lies, and bullying ridicule from whom you run and lock your doors.
What a class act; we loved it.
What a great man. I so wish we had him now - God knows we need someone like him to help us.
Finally visited his Presidential library 2 summers ago and really enjoyed it. His grave is in such a beautiful, peaceful place that I could have stayed visiting Mr. Reagan all day.
Our country sure lost a great man and a great patriot when he passed.
In essence, Reagan was an honorable man who you would trust with your checkbook, or to take care of your family, or your life. Obama is like the sneaky teen hoodlum on the corner with his wisecracking, easy lies, and bullying ridicule from whom you run and lock your doors.
WOW... What you said!!!
Ronald Reagan loved America and honored and respected her people, traditions, law, and spirit. Who can forget his funeral, with the masses of thankful Americans insisting upon paying their respects and wanting to personally say "Goodbye".
Obama is the Destroyer. He has great wrath, because he knows that he has but a short time.
She said that it was quite possible that Politics, in the Screen Actors Guild and his growing interest and activities in politics in general may have put a strain on their marriage as she had no interest in politics what so ever. But, she supported him 100% for President, he was a fine man personally, and was exactly what the country needed. The reporters didn't get their story that wanted from the "ex-wife". When you get an endorsement like that from your Ex, you must be doing something right!
People say that the passage of time colors memories and that "the good old days weren't as good as we remember."
Yet Reagan really was as good as my/our memories of him. One of the proudest days of my life was casting my vote for him and KNOWING he'd never let me down. And he never did.
Sure, there are things I wish he'd done differently, but after reading about him for many years, I understand why he did them. What he did, he did believing it was what was best for America. And 99% of the time, it was.
Should we ever meet on the other side, I have two words for him. "Thank you".
I wish Nancy peace and joy in her final years on earth. I can't imagine how much she misses her Ronnie. I sure miss him. He was a titan of humanity.
I remember Jimmy Carter.
And I remember 1980, and voting for Ronald Reagan, in the hope we could restore our country once again.
He did not disappoint me, ever.The liberal press and the Dems did awful things to him, but he went over their heads to the American people and won every time.
He gave us our confidence back, and we went on to prosperity and to eventually winning the Cold War without firing a shot or a missile. That was thought not possible back then.
His quaint notions of American exceptionalism and that godless Communisim needed to go were the beliefs we had, but the media and the Dems told us were relics of the past.
The outpouring of emotion, love and admiration in 2004 when he passed were incredible and a fit tribute to this great man.
He help to save us, and freed over 500 million people in the Eastern bloc.
May his example inspire us to fight for America in 2012, and bounce the Communists out of DC once and for all this year.
It was George W.that was running again
in 2004 - - -
I remember because I, with others, stood on many street corners from Aug. to Nov., with official Bush/Cheney signs. And my homemade signs that said,
"No Sharia Law in U.S." - - -
Well, most people run... some, stand their ground, call the police, and then watch the guy till they get there.
Agree 110% with everything *else* you said. ;-)
Boy, that really sums it up.
Yes.. As I've thought more about it, that is probably the most insightful thought I've had all year. Didn't you? Didn't we ALL realize back in the 80's what a truly GREAT President Ronald Reagan was? I know I did.
I was just a college kid in 1980. We all were SO EXCITED to have this new leader, so full of optimism. The economy was terrible then, in Texas... but, I didn't care. I had the confidence needed to get married, buy a house, start a family.. When I lost my job, I found a new one... twice. Once, halfway across the country.
What I TRULY failed to appreciate was, just how long it would be before we got another leader like Reagan. We still haven't, and I don't see one on the horizon. Oh, there are some who have parts of Reagan. I think W is an honest, decent man... but he lacked RR's political and communication skills.
Maybe.. some of the young bucks on the rise have the gumption. I sure hope so...because the job before them is just a tough as what Reagan faced.... maybe, tougher.
In my house, my wife shares Ronnie's birthday and my youngest daughter, who just celebrated her tenth birthday yesterday, was born on the same month and day of his death.
(Let the record show, I also lobbied - unsuccessfully - to name her Reagan. My wife now, ten years later, thinks that would indeed have been a great name for her)
As do I! Lord, how far have we fallen? The current occupant isn't worthy to shine his shoes.
~Ronald Reagan
I was in a grocery store parking lot, heard it on the radio.
I was at Bearskin Neck, Rockport, MA with my girlfriend. My Mom called me on my cell and I just broke down.
We left immediately and she drove home - I was a puddle.
We, too, had the wonderful privilege of visiting the Reagan library last summer, almost exactly one year ago...I am SO glad we went there...so very moving, and it was truly the highlight of our trip to California. I teared up so many times while on the tour...miss him so much!!

|Meeting Description:
|Workshop at the 35th meeting of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS), Potsdam, Germany
Organizers: Ljudmila Geist (University of Stuttgart), Giorgos Spathas (University of Stuttgart), Peter de Swart (Radboud University Nijmegen)
The past few years have witnessed the rapid growth of literature explaining argument alternations such as dative alternation, locative alternation, conative alternation and antipassives. In such alternations semantic prominence is known to correlate with morphosyntactic prominence (Levin and Rappaport 1988: 25): the argument realized as a direct object is more semantically prominent than its oblique counterpart, which can be realized in a number of different ways depending on the type of alternation. The term 'semantic prominence' comprises different features such as topicality, discourse accessibility and affectedness. Following predicate-decompositional approaches (Jackendoff 1976, Koenig and Davis 2006, inter alia), morphosyntactic differences such as direct/oblique can be traced back to different underlying event structures and depth of the embedding of the argument. Alternative approaches such as entailment-based approaches (Dowty 1991, Ackerman and Moore 2001) derive morphosyntactic prominence of arguments from the prototypicality of the thematic role: oblique arguments are 'less prototypical' role fillers than direct objects. For Beavers (2010) 'less prototypical' corresponds directly to underspecification of the thematic role.
In this workshop we want to explore different perspectives for capturing the relative semantic prominence of arguments in constructions allowing semantically induced argument alternations in different languages. In particular, we want to discuss the following issues:
- What are the restrictions on the availability of particular alternations in terms of the verb classes and NP-types (e.g. animate, definite) that can be involved?
- What types of 'semantic prominence' are triggered by what alternations and why?
- What is the semantic contribution, if any, of the oblique marker?
- Are any of those alternations manifested also in nominalizations where internal arguments are already syntactically demoted?
- Do morphosyntactic alternatives always differ in meaning?

Posted on 09/18/2010 5:07:51 PM PDT by AmericanInTokyo
Sources within the Obama Administration as well as with the ruling Japan Democratic Party here have leaked and confirmed that Obama (and Japan side) have come to the conclusion to make the decision to cancel any side trip to Hiroshima, Japan in November as part of O's ongoing worldwide apology tour.
(Excerpt) Read more at sankei.jp.msn.com ...
This trip has been in the background for nearly two years; Obama was not able to make it last fall and has wanted to go there and express remorse for American Military Action in 広島 and 長崎 in the closing days of World War II. His Ambassador to Japan has already done this--or so it was locally interpreted.
Now the Japanese language Conservative Sankei News, large circulation daily in Japan is breaking with news from both D.C. and in Tokyo among knowledgeable US-Japan sources that OBAMA HAS DEFINITIVELY TOLD JAPAN TO NOT EXPECT HIM TO MAKE THE VISIT TO HIROSHIMA when he is next in Japan in November.The reasons stated were the touchy US 2010 mid-term elections, the sentiment this act may generate with the American People, overall US-Japan relations factors, and others. Anothere reason, noted in the headline, was internal DJP leadership election issues which could not bring Japan's side to agreement on how to proceed with this.
Japanese head of story:
オバマ氏広島訪問見送り 民主代表選の政治空白で事前協議できず
English synopsis translation of the original Japanese language article just out now through Sankei.
[Conservative and patriotic friends in the blogosphere: If referencing this story word-for-word on your blog in an effort to viralize this report, please quote Free Repubilc and "AiT", providing a direct link to this FR story]. This concludes my overview translation and synopsis.
Obama will probably apologize to the grave of King George next.
Huh, maybe he's learned a little something.
Express remorse for dropping bombs in WWII?
Well, you know, that probably IS something that might make voters mad. Ya think?
Too bad!
Then the odds would be greater for a clean sweep.
Coward - you KNOW he wants to apologize.
Omoslem's next apology speech will be at Cleopatra's tomb.
Following that, he'll apologize to the denizens of Middle Earth.
And if time allows, he will apologize to the Smurfs for the razing of their forest by Gargamel.
Obama's just gutless all the way around. He's a disgrace to the office he holds.
Nice going putz, you're batting 1.000.
It was probably explained to him, s..l..o..w..l..y by an American.
Thanks AIT.
Having said that, YES, you can bet your bottom Yen (currently Yen 85 to the US Dollar) that an enterprising Japanese journalist here in Japan will bait the hook with a clever question in the joint summit press conference in APEC Yokohama, where a jetlagged Obongo will slip and, with a serious case of clientitus, in an effort to curry favor with the Japanese (in his mind only) he will regret for not being able to go to Hiroshima this time to offer his sincerest apology. Then the s- will hit the fan back home. Just watch! Bookmark here. You heard it here first!
Oh, and it will be accompanied with another lame, culturally incorrect and insulting "effort" at a Japanese style bow. ;-)
Hiroshima is what made them the closing days of WWII.
Obastard isn't afraid of being re-elected because he knew his agenda was against the people of the United States.
What a ingrate and trash this guy is! I will never forgive the loons who voted for this thing.
No way in Hell I would bet against you on that prediction.
I have never thanked you personally for your takes and translations from Tokyo. I am most grateful. It is WONDERFUL to know one of our great allies are seeing through this Administration!
My 15 year old daughter is now exploring the wonderful Japanese language. I hope at sometime in the future, without politics, you can show us the best way for her to learn this most beautiful but complex language.
Sincerely, Florida FReeper
I apologize for my bad grammar.
Didnt he already apaologize last year? Geeze, how many times do we have to apologize for something that only he is sorry for?
Obama hates Asians.
*** and has wanted to go there and express remorse for American Military Action***
Back about 1968-1969 I saw a cartoon in MAD or CRACKED magazine.
It showed FDR bowing to the Japanese Emperor and apologizing for American ships at Pearl Harbor blowing up and damaging the hearing of Japanese pilots flying overhead.
Folks, the forces of revisionist history never rest. Does anyone remember the 1994 enola gay exhibit at the smithsonian? There was a concerted effort to portray the japanese as the victims of WWII. But there were enough people still alive who knew otherwise, that common sense prevailed. They'll keep trying though.
It's like I was reading their minds....
The ground zero mosque and Hiroshima all rolled into one.
Mine had a somewhat different outcome.
Absolutely. Even after the A-bomb was dropped at Nagasaki, the Jap military wanted to continue to the last man, woman and child.
Hirohito overruled them.
At least that's what we heard.
More Arabic?
Their problem was that their only choice was to abstain and they did not understand the advantages of doing so.
A million American soldiers were estimated to be casualties. Though defeat was a matter of time, Japan had no intention to surrender.
Remember, the Emporer was god in Japan. It was a religious/fascist state (similar to Islamic countries but with the Emporer god on earth).
Dropping the bomb saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of Americans and likely a few million Japanese.
Japan started the war. We finished it.
If any apology is due, it is from Japan for starting the war. They set in course the events which resulted in their defeat.
America owes an apology to no one for World War 2.
Will we be apologizing to Germany for defeating Hitler next? We surely would have used the atomic bomb to end the war in Europe had it been developed.
Obama, our foreign-born and anti-colonial usurper-in-thief, continues his misguided apology tour.
日本*ピング* (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)
I remember it very well. Have you ever read Smithsonian Magazine? Pure leftist slant.
That our Kenyan president is too scared to bow to, debase himself and apologize to foreigners now due to an upcoming election. What could be more essential than an abject apology for dropping two nukes on Japan. This is the holy grail for America haters. A white nation nuking a yellow one and having their fake black 0bama icon apologizing for what his racist white predecessors did.
Yes the US was 90% white back in 1945 and the rest was black. You had some Indians and Hispanics but not more than 1%-1.5% total. Far better that a million more Japanese and white Americans should die invading and subduing Japan than that we should use two atom bombs
Back to the Kenyan.... He is showing his true colors which is yellow bellied coward all due to an upcoming election. What do election do? They express the will of the people and the people are sick of this unAmerican creep and his Democrat party full of Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid style leftist America haters
Darned good thread post you got going there. Excellent.
If Obama really understood Japanese culture, he'd realize that all he really needs to do is express regret over the death and destruction caused by the atomic bombs without actually saying that it was the wrong thing to do. It would sound like a non-apology to most Americans and Asians, who consider similar Japanese statements about WW2 a non-apology, but it would look like an apology to many Japanese.
Obie must be a little nervous about the November elections.
More likely "tens of millions" of Japanese would have died due to an invasion.
I just read your link. It would have been a very bloody invasion with Japanese having home court advantage for sniping and guerrilla activity. Japan has plenty of mountains for fanatical guerrilla forces to hole up in for years
It is much easier when we got the Emperor (their god on earth) to surrender via A-bombs. He signaled the entire nation to stand down and surrender
I read the link and my thoughts went back to that Sept. 2 date. I was in a infantry replacement depot on Leyte. Many soldiers had anxieties about the invasion of Japan of which we would be part. The scuttlebutt was that very heavy casualties would happen. On that date I was about 10th in a line to pick up new combat gear. A Lt. came out and told us to go back to our tents as the war was over and no more shooting. Also ,no more concern about having to be killed. I together with many G.I.s at that repple depot gave thanks that our Country had the A-bomb and had leaders who were not afraid to use it'
You might want to try chasing-down a copy of The Last Mission - it's the story about a B-29 mission that "sealed your survival".
Obama believes he is the deliverer of historic justice for all wrongs historically perpetrated on other races by Caucasians. This is Rev. Wright theology.This makes Obama a nationalist for minority and ethnic power. He is a nationalist socialist, in other words , a fascist.
Historic justice is the calling card of every fascist leader of the modern era.
And so it is with Obama. He doesn't even realize that those responsible for such supposed injustice are dead now, and long gone. Obama wants the descendants to suffer retribution.America is in deep trouble, having elected its own nemesis.
Thats exactly why Obama is dangerous,and he seeks to destroy America.So far we are letting him do just that.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
Although Coach Jimmy Jones knew his football squad was lacking in experience, almost nobody not from the Uintah basin expected the result of last Friday's football opener. Emery lost to the Duchesne Eagles 25-6 in Duchesne.
With only six seniors that start for the Spartans, Emery was no match in this game with Duchesne that had lost only three starters from last season on a team that went deep into the playoffs.
Emery started well. After receiving the opening kickoff, the Spartans picked up 16 yards in that series before punting. Emery caused a Duchesne fumble on their first play from scrimmage and Cyal Christmas recovered at the Duchesne 15 yard line. Three plays later, Dave Justice scored from three yards out to give Emery the lead.
Duchesne was tackled at their 32-yard line on the ensuing kickoff and then marched 68 yards to a score. The touchdown came on a 35-yard pass to their 6'3" wide receiver.
In the next series, Emery started on their 18-yard line and picked up 25 yards before they punted. Dave Acosta had the big play with an 11 yard run.
After an Emery punt, Cole Bunderson intercepted an Eagle pass and returned it to the Duchesne 31-yard line.
Dave Justice picked up three yards on an inside run. On an Emery run to the outside, Emery picked up a holding penalty that cost them 10 yards. A run for no gain and a seven-yard loss on a Ryan Draper run had Emery punting. The punt barely made it to the end zone and Duchesne took over at their 20-yard line.
Emery caused another fumble but the Eagles recovered. The Eagles then marched 80 yards to score on a 17-yard run.
Emery fumbled on their next series and Duchesne recovered at the Spartan 37-yard line. The Duchesne quarterback scored six plays later and the Eagles led 19-6. That turned out to be the halftime score.
In the second half, the Spartans held the Eagles to a single score. That score came on the fourth series for Duchesne after a good Emery punt. The punt was downed at the Eagle seven-yard line and Emery was thought to be in good position to shut down the Eagles and get the ball back in good field position. Unfortunately Duchesne did not comply.
On the very first play the Eagle wingback took the handoff and went around the right end and never looked back as he outran the Emery defense to the end zone. This was their only second half score.
Emery did march 57 yards on one second half series that ended on downs. Dave Acosta also had a second half interception that the Spartans could not capitalize on.
Talking with Coach Jones after the game, he was disappointed in the loss. "This is not the result we wanted, we will get better. The inexperience just got us."
Emery has potential. Justice and Acosta ran the ball well at times. Dempsey Jeffs at quarterback showed poise and has good delivery on passes. Draper and Kade Jones ran good pass routes. With experience, the Spartans will get better. Steve Giles and Mike Jones had some really good tackles on defense.
This week Emery travels to Cedar City to play Canyon View High School on Friday night at 7 p.m.

Run Big and stretch out
"I did read the reviews that these shoes run big, so i ordered a size 9.5 (when I'm normally a 10). The shoes fit OK (i'm keeping them) but they do run very big and stretch out. I'll make them work, but I would order an entire size smaller than what you would normally wear. Very cute for a flat though!"

Comments: I bought one of these in the spotted shad I have tiny fish to 5.5lb bass if works great around fallen trees and the edge of weed lines I think these are the best squarebill crankbaits these are the only ones I use now
From: Gunnar: McKinne, Texas 2/12/17
From: Jerry: Fresno, CA 7/6/16
Comments: By far my favorite crankbait this thing's a beast. My only problem is the bill will crack after 30-40 fish but I have never had them break off. I like the green minnow but just match the hatch of the pond or lake you're fishing in and you will be killing it.
From: Grant: Council Bluff, IA 5/19/16
Comments: I purchased the RC that Lucky Craft made for a long time before Rick moved to Luck-E-Strike. I now have some of each and can say that these do produce and hold up well. I took some to Lake Fork and put them through the abuse of wood and big fish and was able to fish several days with the same bait without fail. I recommend them.
Comments: One of the best squarebills I've ever used. I can use them in almost any situation. Best deal around.
From: Hayden: Lebanon, TN
Comments: I purchased a few of the new 1.5 rattling series cranks and they all ran horribly. Tuning a bait of this size is not an easy feat and I could not fix this factory flaw. I mailed the baits back, called Luck-E-Strike, and emailed them & I have been ignored. Luck-E-Strike baits have all been removed from boxes and trashed out of principle. Wake up Luck-E-Craft.
From: Bryan: Fairfax, VA 1/19/16
Comments: Like the crankbait but need to change the hooks. Losing fish, definitely need to upgrade the hooks.
From: Jim: Forest, VA 6/2/15
Comments: Good cranks. I like them more than the kvd 1.5's. For the people complaining, baits don't break on their own. Stop smacking them on the water to clean them off. 100% recommend.
From: Nick: Vineland, NJ 12/18/14
Comments: sure it catches fish I've caught 30+ in a day, but every one either cracks and fills with water or the bill breaks, hooks are terrible and break easily.
From: Byron: USA 12/4/14
Comments: bought this bait in the craw pattern. Went out and fished a local stream this evening and caught 4 smallies in about 15 minutes only to have the bill break completely off. And I wasn't even banging it off things.
From: Dickie: Pikeville, KY 5/23/14
Comments: I must have got a dud. Sinks tail down. Tied one on after my ito vision 110 broke the bill off. I had a hot streek going with the megabass at a tournament yesterday untill it broke. Couldn't get bit with one of these.
From: Pete: USA 4/14/14
Comments: Has a wider (and tight) wobble than a KVD 1.5, which I love. I bought the Green Copper Shad last week, and in limited use, I've caught 3 fish on it. Since then I bought the Tasty Shad, but haven't used it. Intend on getting the Reel Shad next. Good stuff.
From: Kevin: Morgan City, LA 4/2/14
Comments: Bait ran really well for a couple of months until I had the bill break off while rubbing rocks. But overall I love this bait and will be buying more of these soon. Also I've caught about 50 bass on the (Reel shad) color series 2 because it resembles a gizzard shad. It would be really helpful if they made a gizzard shad color.
From: Clay: Ely, IA
Comments: I love these baits. Especially since are not as expensive as the Lucky Craft ones. They work just as good. I've caught everything from Smallies, to Northern pike on them. Last week I was catching Channel Cats on them, and one Carp. None were snagged they actually hit the bait. Never had that happen before.
From: Noel: MI
Comments: Great crank for the money. Caught some giants on these lures when nothing else worked. Good paint and very durable. Hooks are total garbage. They are still worth the price with changing the hooks and runs true 98 percent of the time. Beware of the TW sunfish color. Its appears as a muted orange / yellow in the picture but actually is a darker green with just a hint of orange on the belly. Still a great lure. Clunn could have made these perfect with better hooks but I change mine annyway.
From: Steve: Mount Laurel NJ
Comments: Bait runs pretty well but had a problem with bill breaking on mine. Dumped the tackle box (forgot to latch it) and bill broke when hit bottom of boat. Might of had a bad one but other than that bait runs pretty true in water.
From: Rob: NC
Comments: Great squarebill!!! I had taken my friend out to go fishing. He was not as experienced as I was and was looking for Me to help him catch some good bass. We hadn't caught anything all day and were getting kinda down. I had him tie on one of these and boom!!! He caught three in thirty minutes! We went on to catch 12 that day. Thanks luck e strike
From: Robert: VA
Comments: If your hating on this crank stick to soft plastics lol this crank kills them.
From: Jesse: Avondale,AZ
Comments: Produced all year! This is the only bait my kids want to throw. My daughter caught back to back 4 pounders and a fisherman was born. Thanks, Tackle Warehouse
From: Durt: VA
Comments: Pretty solid crankbait for the money. Pretty much the same as his old LC cranks, but less than half the price. I like to throw squarebills into cover mostly, but the only thing I can seem to throw the series 1 and 2 on are my spinning rod....not real good idea throwing cranks into cover with 6# FC. Still nice baits! Series 3 and 4 work well for me, and I plan on picking up a few more!
From: Mike: SoCal
Comments: ive had good luck on the copper perch and snow leopard colors change the hooks tho!!
From: Ethan: Nebraska
Comments: great cold water crankbait. i like the smallest one for smallmouth, largemouth, and sunfish. i caught my first bass of the year on this bait in feburaury. u must switch out the hooks though!
From: Cmac: PA
Comments: A solid shallow crank, especially for the price tag, but do yourself a favor and change out the stock hooks immediately. Also, pay attention to the fellow Illini reviewer that provides accurate diving depths for each model. He's right on the money.
From: Mike: Aurora, IL
Comments: Series # 2 is one of the best lurer I own series # 2 bream,over 9lb in 1 1/2 hour.
From: Ron: Mokena, IL
Comments: 04-16-2012. I have the Series 2 (2" 1/4 oz) Spotted Shad. Excellent bait! I also own the similar sized 0.5 Lucky Craft version of this lure. I would say the latter runs with a little tighter wobble, but both are great in Series 2 size when you want something to appeal to cold front bass. Please note that the depth levels TW shows are not accurate. My Series 2 runs about 2-4 ft. while the Series 1 is 1-2 ft., Series 3 is 3-5ft. and Series 4 is 5-7ft. Not much more to add to what others have said. This crank is a winner.
From: Ed: Campaign, IL
Comments: Series 3, Green copper shad, shallow timber. 14 pounds today.
From: Rick: Angola, IN
Comments: At first I wasn't sure I liked the silent aspect of this crank... Let me tell you, I was WRONG. These things are fish catching machines! Shallow along rocky banks and seawall in the spring is unbeatable. The hogs slam these baby's and don't let go!
From: Ronnie: Warsaw, IN
Comments: love this cranks at first i thought i had orderd a shallow squarre bill crank with rattles but then soon realized that they were silent and thought they would not work in murcky water but treid it anyways and saw that it ran straight and trew right out of the package and 7 cast later caught a 6 pounder then a 3 pounder and soon can a 15 fish day best silent crank ever
From: Shawn: Ont, Canada
Comments: These Luck E Strike rc's run perfect,cast perfect ,deflect cover perfect and catch good fish...couldn't be happier with these crankbaits..definitely helped me collect a check and my biggest fish of the tx. this past weekend. Well done Luck e Strike and R.C.
From: Chris: Henry Co., GA
Comments: I liked the LC baits that Rick Clunn had but since he isn't on them anymore and went to this brand, i like it just as well. The price is soo much better then the LC baits. I just wish they also made the American Shad color also.
From: Alexandria, KY
Comments: I have been throwing squarebills for years, and this is a really good bait. the rc lucky crafts bills are fragile, the old ones arent but the new ones chip and break.. However, you can beat the Lucky Strike off the rocks no problem. this bait holds up very well. I ve caught alot of fish off of this bait. The only downfall is the stock hooks are very cheap, but i change all mine to kvd trebles anyway.
From: Trey: Athens, AL
Comments: Well they run true, are a little light, but I guess they don't make the rattle style. Also noticed they don't have the color selection as the LC. But for the price they'll do. Have not caught a fish on one yet though!
Comments: They seem to run identical to the LC RCs. These are a little lighter so they won't cast as nice. However with the $7 price tag I'd choose these over the LC every time.
From: Sam: Chicago, IL
Comments: The baits run true like the original RC but they are not as balanced when casting. Great for prefishing but not game day.
From: James: Bedford, TX

Pueblo pot shops open with a bong (bang)
by jeff tucker the pueblo chieftain
Published: January 1, 2014; Last modified: January 1, 2014 04:40PM
There was a high demand for marijuana on New Year's Day as dozens of people lined up to buy pot before Pueblo's retail shops opened their doors.
Folks camped out for hours to be among the first customers to legally purchase recreational marijuana from area retailers.
Business was steady through the morning with lines out of the doors at both The Greener Side in Stem Beach and Marisol Gardens in Pueblo West.
