Beautiful Sandal
"This sandal is very attractive with gold chain accents. Unfortunately the back of the shoe is to high and cuts into my alkalies tendon."

LOVE this shoe!
"This show is incredibly comfortable and very classy. The shoe is really long though. I got these in 7, but could've probably gone down to even a 6 (I usually wear a 6 1/2 in casuals and 7 in boots or heels). I love slipping these on with skinny jeans or any summer dress I have."

not as cute as the picture on line
"I'm keeping these to wear super casual. They are not nearly as cute in person as they look on line. I think the chain application is kind of cheesy. They run a little wide & a little long. Kind of disappointing. Maybe they will grow on me....."

U.S. Cherries On Top In South Korean Market
It's only been four months since the historic U.S.-Korea free trade agreement (KORUS) removed two thirds of the tariffs imposed on U.S. food and agricultural products exported to South Korea. But already, sales of U.S. fresh cherries are on the rise. The elimination of a 24-percent import duty on cherries – along with marketing support from the U.S. cherry industry and the Foreign Agricultural Service (FAS) in Seoul – is helping boost U.S. cherry sales in Korea to record levels.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
For good reason, I live in a "small" town. Fresh out of college a few eons ago, I enjoyed working for a "big" city newspaper. It was exciting, and rookie reporters got to try pretty much whatever they wanted as the old hands slumped low when assignments were passed around.
Living was something else.
Bottom line: It's just hard to meet people and make friends when you're alone in a big city.
Towns like Tupelo, well, that's something else. I enjoy my work immensely, my neighborhood is great and other people actually care what happens.
Case in point: This past Saturday, I was fairly slow arising. The weather was lousy outside and the Grandpuppy seemed comfortable right where she was, beside me being lazy. But I had a place to be about 10, so we got moving. By about 8:30, I had occasion to walk through part of the living room, when all of a sudden – GLOP! – a drop of water splatted on my head.
Oh, good heavens, I almost fainted! I looked up with horror to see three dark stains on my foyer ceiling and drip, drip, drip coming off the electric light fixture.
I quickly turned off the power to the living room and climbed my 6-foot step ladder to see what was going on, besides the obvious. The light fixture's upside-down dome cover held 4 inches of water.
Now what? I have confidence to undertake various home projects, but a leaky roof is something else. Way something else.
And so, I started calling folks who might know capable helpers. Zip, nada until I got a tip with a name. I called him hastily, but the poor man was down with the crud and wasn't going anywhere.
But he gave me another name, which I won't state because it would embarrass him.
This man kindly agreed to see about me when he finished work. He did so, checked out everything, made some educated conclusions and said he'd be back in about 30 minutes after he'd grabbed a quick lunch.
Luckily, the rain stopped and he climbed a massive extension ladder to examine the roof. First, he cleaned out my hideously full front gutter. When he got a good look at the roof, he said he saw what he believed the problem was and made some repairs with stout caulk. He also noticed and addressed a few other suspicious areas on my 6-year-old roof.
By this time, my heart rate was coming back toward normal, although I kept thinking this wasn't an expense I had planned for.
He assured me that he believed the problem was solved but that I should contact him again, if it weren't. All he wanted for his time was gasoline money. I almost fainted. You are the kindest person I could ever have found, in such a situation, I told him.
He just said he felt called to help other people, especially folks he knew weren't up to resolving problems like I had. Feeling quite under-billed, I asked if he liked pound cake – that I had a recipe for just about the best in the world. His face brightened, and he said it is his wife's favorite.
I thanked him again and he was on his way, full of his reaffirmation to faithful care and service to others. Monday morning bright and early, I showed up at his workplace with that pound cake I'd made Sunday afternoon.
Thank you again, I told him. If my debt hadn't been so great, I might have brought only half, it's that good, I laughed.
For good reason, I live in a "small" town.

America's bees are rapidly vanishing from our farmlands, and that's bad news for farmers.
Go ahead and hit the road; see for yourself why a road trip is an American classic.
Go through the list and see why "America the Beautiful" is not an exaggeration.
Having a breathtaking beach all to yourself is not impossible at all
Winter doesn't have to be a bitter pill to swallow.
The U.S. is full of warm and sunny destinations
People don't need a reason to take a break, and they certainly don't want to spend an unnecessarily huge amount of money to make the most of a well-deserved time off.
Some winter hikes are sheer, frightening, and unpredictable, but really enchanting.

Skip to comments.Romney cites his healthcare law as proof of his compassion
Posted on 09/26/2012 7:23:28 PM PDT by conservativefreak
click here to read article
What better way of proving you are a better candidate than your socialist opponent than to describe to the public how you are just like him?
Think we better resign ourselves to the fact that he's been campaigning for president for 5 years now. If he was capable of figuring out how to run a proper campaign, he would have figured it out by now.
Apparently he's got another ad running today where he emphasizes how both he and Obama care about the middle class.
He's in a tough place...can't attack his own law while not supporting Obamacare.
just luvs me some "compassionate conservatism"...
Oh boy, here we go. It's 1994 all over again. Who can forget that by the time that senate campaign wound down Romney was "more compassionate, more gay friendly, more enthusiastic about abortion, more liberal" than Teddy Kennedy. And the race that Romney led at the beginning quickly turned into a Kennedy landslide.
This guy Romney is such a freaking coward...
Pray for America.
Romney does not understand the limitations placed on government by the founders. It is not the role of government to be compassionate. Taking from some to give to others is the foundation of tyranny. We have become a tyranny and are no more a constitutional republic.
No point in saying things nobody but us would agree with unless you want to lose. The ad is good.
Well stated, thank you.
They are no longer friends.
The difference is that in Massachusetts it was constitutional and it is what the people wanted.
At the Federal level it is unconstitutional and the majority did not want it.
The point is that Romney is not without compassion and worked within the letter of the MA constitution as well as the US constitution.
I will take my chances with Romney.
It seems sometimes like BOTH candidates don't want to win, but OBOBO has the MSM to sit on any news or gaffes detrimental to OBOBO.
6 weeks out is no time to start shooting at our candidate.
Obama has a target on him as big as the moon.
Oh good grief! Well, he's not Obama...he's a democrat but Obama is communist. I will vote for the rat-faced elephant.
How does a mandate that forces a man to surrender some of his liberty and some of his property in purchasing a government-approved health-insurance policy comport with the natural rights to liberty and property expressly protected by the Massachusetts Constitution?
This guy is making me rethink my disdain for Juan McCain.
A point brought up in Ohio is that since the Supremes agreed with the Obama flip flop that said this was a tax and not a penalty, it is now illegal because taxes must originate in and be approved by congress. Obamacare was not sold as a tax in the legislative process.
The people of mASS got what they wanted and deserved. Romney should say "they will be bankrupt at their own fault and he does not want that for the RED states. The BLUE states can eat each orher and go to Hell. The RED states can eat what they want even if Moochelle objects!" If Romney said that it would help him, but I think he will not.
Our states are laboratory's of freedom.
The Majority of liberal jackasses in Ma wanted it and the got it.
These are folks that gave Kennedy, Frank, and Kerry lifetime positions.
At the National level we have rejected this liberal crap, but Obama and Pelosi shoved it down our throat stifling the voice of the majority.
Romney did no such thing. He merely did what his constituents wanted.
The people of mASS got what they wanted and deserved. Romney should say "they will be bankrupt at their own fault and he does not want that for the RED states. The BLUE states can eat each orher and go to Hell. The RED states can eat what they want even if Moochelle objects!" If Romney said that it would help him, but I think he will not.
Stay home. Don't vote.
Reelect Obama.
The national debt and the SCOTUS are of no concern /S
Actually, he did just that as there are many in that state who did not want it; that means they were robbed of their constitutional freedoms.
Obamacare and Romneycare are both wrong. They are wrong because the idea that government at any level can force a person to buy something against his or her will is not only a bad idea, it is repugnant to the foundational idea of our republic: that we all have a God-given right to liberty.
Weasel words from Obama and the LA times
Romney's remarks on his healthcare law prompted a retort from the Obama camp.
Mitt Romney is working overtime to rehabilitate his image after being caught writing off half of all Americans to a room of high-dollar donors. But his warm and fuzzy rhetoric doesnt match up with his policies, principles or priorities," Obama's deputy campaign manager, Stephanie Cutter, said in a statement. "In fact, while Mitt Romney held up the Massachusetts healthcare law as evidence of his empathy for people, minutes later he promised to repeal Obamacare, which is modeled after his own law."
Earlier this evening there were several threads with the main theme ... we should all vote (blindly) for Romney because he is different than Obama and would give us America back. All that apposed this logic were condemned for being un-American and other less appealing names.
I see but little difference between the two and therefore will not leave my warm and comfortable home to brave the cold just to vote for Obama lite.
More of your anti Romney BS that smells like Paul bot troll BS.
Show the link of this supposed AD or zip it.
I like Rush and I know he just really wants Obama out of office but Mitt Romney is a disaster. He can't draw a sharp contrast because their isn't one. I'm not a Newt fan either but if the GOP is going to lose they should at least lose with a candidate who would describe clearly who Obama is and listening to Newt I often think he would have done a better job throwing those types of verbal bombs. As it is Romney will lose calling Sheik Obama a "Nice Guy".
Throwing the baby out with the bath water are we?
From a freeper earlier, "cant wait to start removing Romney from office in 2016"
I am voting for Romney but if you guys keep picking these creeps, you really won't tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans. You specifically are the type who would vote for Bloomburg if he had a Republican name after him. When does this nonsense stop????
he has to get those votes somehow
Your a Fool and more than likely a TROLL !
I notice the lets stay home BS from the Axelrod astroturf team is out in full force.
ObAMA IS A MARXIST MUSLIM WHO HATES THIS COUNTRY AND WANTS TO DESTROY IT.
hOW DOES ROMNEY COME ANY WHERE NEAR THE HATE OBAMA HAS FOR THE USA.
Yep, when both the baby and the bathwater are dirty.
Exactly - people need to exercise a little critical thinking.
It's not compassion when you're spending OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY.
I get it 40, but the majority in MA wanted it, that is why I live in Texas.
What burns me is how Obama SHOVED his crap down Americas throat with chicanery and under handed BS and Pelosi flipped us of with her huge gavel and how they taunted Tea Party activists and then accused us of spitting on that jerk John Lewis from the CBC.
Can You imagine Romney doing that crap?
The national debt will not improve under Romney. The SCOTUS (Yea, that's a shame but Roberts was put in by a "conservative" and he just upheld government forced health care). I don't know if the polls are right but I think everyone can agree that Obama is over 40%. That fact alone tells me the the United State of America is no longer much different than Canada or most European countries. The idea that people should be free to own property, free to fail and succeed. Free to mock and free to praise is one that is fading. It's a sad end. Whatever people say the truth is probably that most of the founders were just right of Ron Paul on domestic issues and now Obama represents, if not the majority, a very large segment of the populous. The ideas that they were fighting for are decades in the ground
*rolls eyes*
*rolls eyes*
*rolls eyes*
*rolls eyes*

The last I looked the idea of forcing free Americans to buy healthcare was not very popular in this country. So why is Romney portraying himself as someone who thinks it is?

Instead of making folks ferret out multiple posts for apps info, I've put together a categorized spreadsheet of iPad apps for people with autism -- the ones that work for Leo, yes, but eventually lots of other apps as well.
The spreadsheet below is scrollable, but you can also go straight to the full screen version.
The spreadsheet includes the apps I've reviewed on this site and on BlogHer so far -- with prices, iTunes links to full and lite (free) versions, and review URLs when available. The spreadsheet will be updated frequently, as our apps backlog is burgeoning and many reviews are forthcoming. So save the spreadsheet URL [http://is.gd/12ygv8] or this post's URL!
If you have any suggestions or questions, let me know.

A Murfreesboro company that recycles household trash is now helping to recycle the lives of non-violent criminals.
All In One was conceived when the owner saw the tons of trash being buried at what's commonly referred to as Mt. Trashmore, the BFI landfill near the Walter Hills Community in Rutherford County. The business started with one employee now it has 10, four of them are inmates.
"We can count on them to get the material moved through quickly, and they also get something in return," co-owner Kaley Brownlee said.
There are strict guidelines: no visitors, no phone calls, no drugs or alcohol. The money they make is used to pay fines, court costs, transportation and any child support or restitution. The program is helping to prevent the inmates from re-offending once they are released.
"The program is set up to get the offenders back on track in life," said RCCWC Sgt. Jason Peralta. "A lot of time when they get back in society they get mixed up with the wrong friends again and then it's like a revolving door for them."

The youths reportedly had set their nautical sights on the Lone Tree Krispy Kreme, which awarded free doughnuts to properly attired swashbucklers and scallywags.
Douglas County Sheriff's deputies confronted the young buccaneers near Cheese Ranch.
"We contacted them and ultimately determined they were dressed like pirates, heading to Krispy Kreme," Sgt. Ron Hanavan said.
Highlands Ranch High School Principal Jerry Goings was alerted to the lockout at about 10:30 a.m. during a district meeting.
"I got a phone call saying there were kids in the field close to us with a machete," he said, adding the teens' initial effort to dodge the authorities further aroused suspicion. "Police tried to approach them and they took off. They're high school kids and they're probably supposed to be in class, so that's why they ran."
During a lockout, a school perimeter is secured and staff and students prohibited from leaving the grounds.
Highlands Ranch High School sent an email to school families explaining the lockdown.

Not a hit
"I tried this shoe on in the store in a size 7, but the store only had black not purple so I didn't buy it. In the store, the 7 did feel short in the toe area but was comfortable every where else. I ordered a 7.5 online (I am usually a 7.5 sneakers as it is) but the shoe still didn't fit right. It was a little wider than I expected and my toe brushed against the fabric when I walked, making it really uncomfortable. I even tried wearing the sneakers with thicker athletic socks but it didn't help enough.I also noticed the plastic holding the laces had started to crack a little which concerned me for longevity of the sneakers. I am sending them back tomorrow for a completely different shoe. I was really disappointed since the colors are so great."

I take an 8.5 and have for years in all different shoes - even every other pair of Ryka's I own - but not these. Better order at least a 1/2 size up from your normal shoe size."

The Shawnee National Forest is famed for its awesome Garden of the Gods, and is home to the Rim Rock Recreational Trail (the forest has a system of 403 miles of equestrian/hiking trails). Hikers are greeted by magnificent jutting walls of rock covered with emerald-green moss, and paths that meander through canyons under the forest canopy. Nestled between the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, the stunning Shawnee National Forest landscape features rolling hills, lakes, creeks and rugged bluffs. If you're into climbing than a must-see is Jackson Falls, located near the town of Ozark in the Hidden Springs Ranger District in Shawnee National Forest. The climb takes place on 60 feet of sandstone cliffs and boulders that include numerous freestanding towers.
Located near the town of Ozark in the Shawnee National Forest, Jackson Falls offers arguably the best rock climbing in southern Illinois. There are roughly 60 climbing areas along the sandstone bluffs and freestanding boulders, each with multiple named routes on them. There are over 500 named routes in all. Most of the routes are 50-60 feet in height. The whole area sits in a very scenic glen. Most of the routes at Jackson Falls are sport routes, though there are a number of traditional routes, and a few areas suitable for setting up a top-rope. There are also many excellent bouldering opportunities here.
The Little Grand Canyon trail is located within the Shawnee National Forest. Experience the easy 3.6 miles of beauty it offers as you ride your bike or hike these fun trails that meander past lush wooded canyons, riverside bluffs, songbirds, woodpeckers and deer; while hawks and vultures soar high above the cliffs.

Lusk Creek Canyon is the most well known whitewater run in Southern Illinois. The creek starts out in woodland bottoms with relatively minor gradient but soon is surrounded by rocky hillsides and cliffs. These cliffs rise out of the water to heights over one hundred feet. After the canyon section, the cliffs recede and the creek is surrounded by forest for the final mile. Rapids on this creek are at low to moderate levels and are mostly Class II in nature. However, this is not a good beginner run. This creek flows through forests before entering the canyon.

Jets Set to Move to the Central Division
Kent Wilson
July 12 2011 09:38AM
Because making a decision and taking action is a slow-motion affair in the league's front offices, the Jets will be competing on the balmy shores of the league's SE division this coming year. However, according to TSN, it looks like the long-term destination for Winnipeg will be the Central division. Which is kind of bad news.
Nostalgia and senitment favored a move back to the NW with the Flames and Oilers, perhaps bumping the Canucks to the Pacific. That re-alingment would have been the best for the Jets competitive purposes as well, since the new-look division would have been the weakest in the league absent the Canucks. Playing the Oil, Avalanche and Wild multiple times a season can't hurt the ol' playoff chances. And the Flames are one or two retirements away from falling off a cliff themselves.
Instead, it seems the Jets will share a division with Chicago, Columbus, Dallas and Nashville (with the Red Wings finally moving back to the East), which is a much tougher row to hoe even with Detroit departing. The Blackhawks will no doubt continue to be a heavy hitter in the league, particularly as they extricate themselves for Tallon's post-cup cap crunch. The Columbus Blue Jackets are a middling squad whose efforts have been hampered by having to battle the likes of DET and CHI multiple times every year. The addition of Jeff Carter this season probably makes them more of concern going forward. Nashville is never great, but certainly never bad under the steady guidance of David Poile and Barry Trotz. The Dallas Stars is probably the weakest club of the lot, although they might take a step or two forward if they can ever figure out their ownership issues.
The central won't be the toughest division in the league from the looks of things right now, but there's no question the NW would have been preferable for Jets fans. Perhaps anything is better than the playing in the SE though, which will no doubt feature a pretty demanding travel schedule.
Which team from the East moves to the SE?
Even after hours and hours of travel to play their divisional rivals this winter, I'm guessing more than a few Jets will be asking the pilot to circle in the air a few times before landing in the 'Peg...
July 12 2011, 09:52AM
Sounds like the league is actually going for that 4 division deal, since Leopold mentioned that the Wild would be part of that Central Division as well. Minny, Winnipeg, Chicago, Columbus, Nashville, Dallas and St. Louis would make 7 in the central, and the remaining NW and Pacific teams would make an 8 team Pacific division. Detroit to the East balances Atlanta moving to Winnipeg. Of course, once the Coyotes give up the ghost, things could change again.
July 12 2011, 09:53AM
With the talk that the league will be split in 4 divisions instead of 6 makes this work. The main positive from it is that there will be a greater chance for playoff series against the Canucks and Jets for the Oilers/Flames. Of course, not seeing them as much in the regular season is a little lame but there's NOTHING like a playoff battle!
Or there was talk of the 4 divisions instead of 6
Would you go West
Vancouver San Jose Anaheim LA Phoenix Colorado Calgary Edmonton
Winnipeg Minnesota Chicago St Louis Columbus Nashville Dallas
Florida Tampa Bay Carolina Washington Pittsburgh Philadelphia New Jersey
Detroit Montreal Boston Toronto Ottawa Buffalo New York R New York I
July 12 2011, 10:19AM
The American and National Leagues have 14 and 16 teams respectively. To account for travel, why doesn't the league have a 14-team Western Conference? The Eastern teams get an easy end of the stick being so clustered together, so their "punishment" should be to compete against an extra team.
Also, they have too many teams in the East. There is no reason Detroit or Columbus should have to travel West all the time.
The other thing would be to account for rivalries when building divisions. This is what the NFL has done to such success. The divisions make a lick of sense geographically, but they have Dallas in their 'East' division due to an old-time rivalry with New York. Cincinnati is further south than Indianapolis, but play in the North division against Cleveland and Pittsburgh.
Id love to see a 32 team league like the NFL. Those divisional rivalry games are always great.
If you get Quebec a team again, you could have two Canadian divisions where you could have up to 40% of your season games without having to leave the country.
8 games within the division. (24) 3 games within the conference (36)
2 games within one division in the other conference (8)
Which leaves 14 games for the remaining 12 teams
Or even drop down to 80 games instead of 82 and play each of the 12 teams once.
July 12 2011, 12:00PM
@Cam Charron
Oooooo I like this(14&16). Totally makes sense, Id add NSH to the teams that travel too far. We expect it in Edm but NSH should be in SE right now anyway
July 12 2011, 01:39PM
Welcome Jets fans!!!
Now suck it!!!
Hmm... wouldn't it make more sense to move the Wild to the central, as they're further east and it would be better for rivalries?
Sounds like the league is actually going for that 4 division deal, since Leopold mentioned that the Wild would be part of that Central Division as well. Minny, Winnipeg, Chicago, Columbus, Nashville, Dallas and St. Louis would make 7 in the central, and the remaining NW and Pacific teams would make an 8 team Pacific division. Detroit to the East balances Atlanta moving to Winnipeg. Of course, once the Coyotes give up the ghost, things could change again.
The Phoenix situation is interesting- the top to candidates at the moment for relocation have to be KC and QC. As Canadian hockey fans, I'm sure most of you guys would like to see Quebec get their team back before Kansas, but Kansas has an ownership group and an NHL ready arena. If they go to KC, it wont change the scene in Roberts post to much as they'd in all likelihood be in the west, but if they go to Quebec, how pissed of will Detroit be?
July 12 2011, 08:32PM
Why is Dallas also moving divisions? Does St. Louis to to the NW and Vancouver to the Pacific? I'm not sure how credible this info is based on pure insanity... Although we ARE talking about the NHL here, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised with insane decisions.
Welcome Jetsnation!
You are very lucky to have Buff on your team. With the leadership of he & Ladd, I can imagine their experience in the central division with the hawks will pay dividends.
Good luck and thanks for the 2 points!!
July 13 2011, 08:21AM
does anyone else feel like it'd be weird seeing the Detroit red Wings in the east after so many years of dominating the western conference?

As for who said about the 16........how many times have you guys said PAY him basically whatever he wants and you "don't let a once in a lifetime player go" bull$hit. That intimates you're on board with giving him whatever he want, so no.....I'm not going to search through 17 pages in this thread to look for the statements. We all know he wants 16+. Stop acting like what he said in 2010 doesn't still count today considering he's demanding more money every 1.5 years on average.
He's already licking the ballsack of the 49ers saying it would be awesome if he went there. It's simple......he doesn't know what the word loyalty means so he's damn sure not going to give any "hometown" discount after 2013.
As for 115.......yes Flacco got 20 million per year because he just wont he Superbowl and the team owner told him before the season that he can demand practically anything he wanted if he won the Superbowl for him that year. He did, so he got what he wanted. And fyi......Flacco is a lot better than "average".
Hell......Revis wants more money than Tom Brady is getting for crying out loud and he's nowhere near as valuable to the Jets as Brady is to the Pats. Brady is without a doubt the face of that franchise besides Bellichump.
Again, who?, Who said to pay Revis whatever he wanted? I sure as hell didn't. The onus isn't on me to prove it, it's on you. You are the one unwilling to back up what you're saying.
I don't know what the substance is for how it becomes a $12M hit if traded, but the fact remains it's a $12 million hit. I love how now Revis is now a jerkoff street thug who is "licking the ballsack of the 49ers." If the Jets can play their hand in this the way they want, then why can't Revis?. Also dude, there is no loyalty in sports. This is a business.
And Jeff Cumberland could want $16 million a season, that doesn't mean he'd get it. Like Chaos said, one side has their figure, the other side has theirs...that is why they negotiate and compromise

Skip to comments.Libyan Rebels: 'Bring Bush!', Beg for a No Fly Zone
Posted on 03/03/2011 2:21:30 PM PST by GVnana
Libyan rebels are begging for the international community to establish a no fly zone in the skies over Libya. One soldier in the rebellion called upon the President of the United States to come to the aid of the Libyan people.
Not, however, the sitting President:
"'Bring Bush! Make a no fly zone, bomb the planes,' shouted soldier-turned-rebel Nasr Ali, referring to a no-fly zone imposed on Iraq in 1991 by then U.S. President George Bush."
(Excerpt) Read more at associatedcontent.com ...
Drudge ran the quote as a headline and Reuters pulled it!
We should make all of North Africa an A-10 Free Fire/Training Zone.
When the world needs a leader....
Tell the rebels we haven't finished or paid for the two wars we are in now. In the meantime we regret that we don't have any more lives to give to be world policeman.
Link to now edited Reuters story (with comments): http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20110303/wl_nm/us_libya_protests#mwpphu-container
Don't even think of the "one"
The previous one works better.
Well, we could always withdraw from Europe and Japan. That war is SO over.
It does not fit into the communist's agenda.
Dude, that's the soldier-turned-rebel's job!
Stop standing around yelling for Uncle Infidel and start with the blowing up stuff.
When the world needs a leader.................... Who do ya call? I bet Obama has called Bush for advice and the answer was "No my Job man, you deal with it and accept the blame".
Ron Paul is deeply saddened.
Watch for a slew of op-eds from Krugman and the rest saying this proves that in the Middle East Bush = US = War, and Obama is just working so hard to change that impression. I'm sure Joy Behar and Whoopi will have the spin, too.
... because when you need help, you want a cowboy not a community organizing little b*tch.
... because when you need help, you want a cowboy not a community organizing little b*tch.
And, seems the whole world knows that, Libya did not call for Zero, he knows he's busy partying & has no clue! OH HOW I MISS PRESIDENT BUSH!
At least we felt safe when he was at the helm AND we know Bush loves this country & (has a birth certificate)!!!!!
I doubt that this call would happen, my FRiend, unfortunately for us.
Obama, the (apparent) malignant narcissist, likely thinks he knows better than anyone, and has no interest in letting President Dubya look like the sage and brave person he is.
Mister Obama seems always on the verbal attack v President Dubya, and if the news ever got out that Mister Obama sought counsel and advice from President Dubya, the loss of face could, I think, be a major downer.
That said, the news reports of "bring Bush" might be a bit ego crushing, in themselves, eh?
"Miss Me Yet?"
You betcha'!
All these people love America to react to their cause. After we sacrifice our blood, they turn on us.
Sorry folks, we are no longer willing to sacrifice our own for your sake.
Why is it they believe we are that dumb that we will continue to fight for their individual causes?
Just been thinking, the folks in Libya appear completely different from the Egyptians, and you sort of get the impression that this is Bush's fault, that he planted the seed of Democracy and the people actually heard it, God Bless George Bush.
If this is his fault, then we will miss his insight, his leadership, and his moral compass as the country (US/Wisconsin/Ohio, etc.) now seems to be out of control and the people need to wake up to what is going on...
Thank you GWB, from a homesick Texan
Recall if you will that there is trust there, with W.
After the Brits met with the son, They called us in and all the Libyan nuclear stuff (and I think the Iraqi stuff held in trust) was removed to Oak Ridge.
Thank you for the reminder. I forgot about the nuclear transfer!

The Emery County Drug Task recently acted on several anonymous tips and executed a search warrant in Huntington. Working on a tip that cocaine was being sold out of a trailer in a trailer park in Huntington, the task force moved in with the Emery County SERT team. Two grams of cocaine were found which constitutes a first degree felony. The drug offense was also stiffened due to it being in a drug free zone in close proximity to two churches. Arrested was Paul M. Miranda Serrano, DOB 4-25-87, and charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. It is believed he has been selling out of the residence for approximately six months. This subject will be deported back to Mexico after answering the charges.
Two more unrelated arrests were also made in Huntington involving illegal immigrants. Daniel M. Espino, DOB-8-11-61 was arrested for distribution of methamphetamine and cocaine, which is a first degree felony. The subject is currently in jail and awaiting a court date.
Dario Bejarano, DOB-12-19-83 was arrested for distribution of methamphetamine and cocaine. He has pled guilty to the charges.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "This is just another example of the dedicated work our drug task force does, continually working using the resources available to them to get as many of the illegal drugs as they can off the street.
"They work very hard to keep the community safe and to help eliminate the drug distributors in our area.
"They will continue on in this work and they appreciate very much any help the community can give them in their fight against illegal drug distribution.
"If you have any information that would be helpful to the drug task force, please call 381-2404 or use the drug tip line, 381-2888. Anonymous tips are welcome," said Sheriff Guymon.

Funeral services for longtime Cortez resident Barbara Fern Alsobrook will be held at 10 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 13 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Empire Chapel. Fern will be laid to rest next to her beloved husband at Cedar Grove Cemetery following the services.
Visitation has been set for Sunday afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. at Ertel Memorial Chapel.
Fern was born one of 11 children to Zachary Taylor and Minnie Day (Keeling) Allen on Oct. 14, 1931 in Texico, N.M. She passed away at her Cortez home on Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012 at the age of 80.
Fern married Ray J. Alsobrook on Dec. 22, 1948 in Falls Church, Va. Together the couple shared 55 years of marriage before Rays death in 2004. A licensed cosmetologist, Fern owned and operated the Hair Affair located at the same spot on west Montezuma Avenue for 32 years. The Hair Affair is still family-owned within the third generation. Fern was such a family oriented person and much of her time was spent focused on the family. She felt a strong conviction in instructing and exampling to the children a right way of living and making good decisions. Fern could always be counted in to attend family reunions. Ferns recreation was spent playing solitaire and dominoes. She enjoyed busying her hands with quilting, crocheting and sewing, and loved fishing the local lakes.
Surviving Fern are her three children, Margie Wood, Janice Alsobrook and Mike Alsobrook, all of Cortez; two grandchildren, Jenny Bashore and husband Bill of Cortez and Matt Wood of Flagstaff, Ariz.; and three great-grandchildren, Taylor, Erin and Ian Bashore, all of Cortez.
Fern was preceded in death by her husband, Ray Alsobrook; a son, Jackie Ray Alsobrook; her parents; and her 10 brothers and sisters, Bill, Whetzel, Shelly, Jim, George, Ted, Velma, Hester, Roberta, and Margaret.
Memorial contributions can be made in memory of Barbara Fern Alsobrook with Hospice of Montezuma, PO Box 740, Cortez, CO 81321.
Services are under the direction of Ertel Funeral Home. For further information or to send condolences, log on to www.ertelfuneralhome.com and click on the obituary section.

OB Appointment Weeks 26 - 29
You have just finished the second trimester of your pregnancy and you are heading for the finish line! If your doctor or midwife has special concerns about your pregnancy or if you have developed any complications such as gestational diabetes, high blood pressure, or signs of preeclampsia, you may begin to have prenatal appointments every two weeks during months seven and eight.
Now may be the week that your doctor or midwife will take a look at your weight gain to make sure you keep on track. The next several weeks your baby will grow by leaps and bounds and it is very easy for mom to fall into the same pattern. If you have gained a significant amount of weight already, your doctor or midwife may want to review your diet and may refer you to a nutritionist to help you keep your weight gain under control for the duration of your pregnancy. Your doctor or midwife will most certainly want you to report your baby's movements. If there is some reason to believe that baby is not thriving, your doctor or midwife may opt to run a non-stress test (NST). This test is most often used when a pregnancy has gone past term but your doctor or midwife can use it at any time to assess your baby's well-being. The test measures your baby's heartbeat in relation to his or her movements. This test is risk free and painless for both mother and baby, and it can be performed in the office.
If you didn't have a glucose screening test to check for gestational diabetes at your last appointment, you'll be given it now. During this test, you'll be asked to drink a sweet liquid on an empty stomach and then have your blood sugar levels tested an hour later. If results from this test come back positive, it does not necessarily mean you have gestational diabetes, it simply means you need to have a more accurate test called the glucose tolerance test (GTT).

Many developing countries, and especially the poorest ones, experience high macroeconomic volatility and frequent financial crises. Macroeconomic instability deters growth and entails major welfare costs—particularly severe for the poor, due to their limited asset buffers and inadequate access to risk diversification.
Research studies the nature of the shocks faced by different types of developing countries, and the contribution of policy and other forces (such as external shocks and other exogenous disturbances) to mitigate or exacerbate volatility. It assesses reforms to reduce the frequency and impact of disturbances. Among the questions addressed by the research are:

Protecting Yourself Against Identity Theft
What is identity theft?
Identity theft is a serious and potentially devastating crime. Identity theft occurs when someone commits or attempts fraud by using a victim's personal information, such as name, date of birth, Social Security number (SSN), driver's license number, etc. They may use this information to open new credit cards or other accounts in the victim's name.
How do thieves steal an identity?
There are a variety of methods used by thieves to obtain someone's identity, which include:
How does T-Mobile work to fight identity theft?
T-Mobile is committed to safeguarding the personal and account information of our customers and employees. We have established physical, technical and administrative safeguards to help prevent unauthorized access, maintain data accuracy, and to help ensure only appropriate use of information. T-Mobile offers customers the ability to place passwords on their accounts, both online and when calling T-Mobile, as well as extensive privacy security training to all T-Mobile employees.
What can you do to help fight identity theft?
Awareness is an effective weapon against identity theft. Armed with the knowledge of how to protect yourself and taking appropriate measures like password protecting your cell phone, you can make it much more difficult to be victimized by identity thieves. You can also help fight identity theft by educating your friends, family, and members of your community. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has prepared a collection of easy-to-use materials to enable anyone, regardless of existing knowledge about identity theft, to inform others about this serious crime.
To learn more, visit http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/topics/privacy-identity.
How you can find out if your identity has been stolen, and what should you do if it has?
The best way to monitor for identity theft is to scrutinize your accounts and bank statements each month for any unauthorized activity, and check your credit report on a regular basis. If you check your credit report regularly, you may be able to limit the damage caused by identity theft.
For more information, visit the FTC's web site at IdentityTheft.gov.

By DORIS SAIGEONBanning, California
I just want to share with my friends what Easter means to me (childhood memories), during the depression days of years ago.
I was born in 1927 in a small Mormon town, Ferron, to Annie (Rasmussen) and Leland Bohleen-who at that time was a full time sheepherder in Colorado-later on when I was 13, he came home to try farming a small, desert type farm called "Dutch Flats" way down near a smaller town named Molen.
The first Easter I remember especially was when a bunch of us kids hiked up into the foothills near the Indian cliff dwellings on the far side of town. We carried our lunches in paper bags. One little girl and I think her name was Lemon, rolled her colored Easter eggs down the hill with ours and her eggs splattered all over the rocks below. We started to laugh.
"My mama doesn't allow me to eat hard-boiled eggs. They aren't good for you," she told us with tears in her eyes. She thought we were making fun of her. We weren't but I hugged her and said not to worry that it was OK. Her soft boiled eggs and her tears have stayed with me in memories for over 70 years now.
People are still making others cry over silly things nowadays. I got a mean-spirited letter last week from an old friend from my childhood and she made tears come to my eyes too. Mostly because she was critical of my choice of churches. What she did not and probably would not have cared about anyway, was it had been a hard week for me as I lost a dear sister-in-law to cancer, and I had already shed a lot of tears over that.
Why do we all have to be so judgmental? And so critical? Life is hard enough these days, with so much bad news in the papers and on TV and growing older brings so much pain and aches and stress to our aging bodies.
The kids will soon be hunting Easter eggs in the parks on the Saturday before Easter and celebrating in different ways.
Let's remember the true meaning of Easter is to follow Christ's examples and to be kind and gentle and forgiving.

They've no doubt noticed that consumers push aside their turkey dinners long enough to shop.
Macy's, Target, Kohl's and Best Buy have all announced they will launch their Black Friday sales as the clock strikes midnight on Thanksgiving Day night, hoping to gain an advantage over rivals in the intense day-after-Thanksgiving competition. It won't help them compete with online retailers on Thanksgiving Day itself, however.
And Thanksgiving Day is becoming a more important online shopping day, as consumers become increasingly accustomed to having easy access to the Internet at home. Not only will 77% of U.S. homes have broadband Internet subscriptions by 2012, according to research firm Gartner, but Wi-Fi is increasingly the norm. Lounging on the couch with your laptop or iPad and browsing the web during commercial breaks of football games, or while waiting for the turkey to finish, promises to turn into as much of a ritual as loosening your belt after that extra slice of pie.
That trend showed up in the U.S. online sales numbers from last Thanksgiving Day: $407 million, up a hefty 28% from the previous year, according to web measurement firm comScore Inc.
Web retailers have the advantage of not having to dragoon legions of employees to staff physical stores to make those sales. Their web platforms do most of the work without human intervention. Hands-free selling is turning into a big advantage as shoppers become accustomed to being able to buy at any time of day or night, wherever they happen to be.
Naturally, the retail chains that have made huge investments in their bricks-and-mortar stores will compete more intensely for consumers' dollars this holiday season, and will try to turn their stores to their advantage. For instance, Barnes & Noble plans to devote more space in its stores to demonstrating its Nook reader and new Nook tablet, hoping to draw consumers away from the comparable devices sold by Amazon.com, which has no physical stores.
The challenge for Amazon, and for all online retailers, is to get around their inability to make a face-to-face presentation to consumers. How-to videos and live chat are just two of the ways e-retailers can overcome that obstacle. Live chat does require a human to be available, although that employee can chat from home while stirring the gravy. And the great thing about a video is that the people who make it can be gathered around the Thanksgiving table while the video they created sells products to a world of online shoppers.

Loss is the inevitable that takes us by surprise. The surprise is that it actually happened and then the mysterious journey can be very confusing. Ranging from feeling like you are on a roller coaster to feeling mired in depths of sadness. This journey is made all the more complex if the relationship was unresolved or conflicted. Loss is inevitable and everyone faces it. There is no one path. Many people will believe their is one path and then expect you to be on it or over it. Your path is your path. It is unique and it might have unique stumbling blocks. Your not alone.
