Winnipeg As "...a Unit of 20"
Nation World HQ
November 26 2011 08:08AM
Claude Noel should be given some credit. After a rocky start, the head coach of the Winnipeg Jets is starting to get a pretty good feel for his hockey team.
Friday night, shortly after Noel's Winnipeg Jets beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 in Raieigh to go 1-0-1 on this three-game road swing, Noel told reporters, "We play pretty well when we play as a unit of 20. I like the way we played tonight and I like our group."
He should like "our group." If the Jets play the way they did on Friday against a really mediocre Hurricanes team 60 more times this season, they'll take a run at first place in the East. And I'm not trying to be hyperbolic here. The Jets are 4-0-1 in their last five and have beaten Tampa Bay, Washington and Philadelphia in that stretch.
Friday night's performance in Raleigh was surgical. The Jets came out hard and outskated the 'Canes in a first-period that Johnny Oduya called, "a really high pace," during a television interview. In the second, Noel called his team "sloppy," but they did come out of it with a 2-1 lead. Then, despite being outshot 10-3 in the third by a Hurricanes team that finally played with a little urgency, the Jets kept Carolina to the permieter and goalie Chris Mason got the job done. In fact, Mason's performance might have earned him another start -- sooner, not later.
What was most interetsing about the Jets win on Friday was that every individual did his job. The scorers scored, the checkers checked, the goalie stopped 20-of-21 shots and, for the most part, the defensemen defended. Other than one glaring error by Dustin Byfuglien that led to Carolina's only goal (which is pretty much expected now), the Jets D was rock solid.
Evander Kane (9), Andrew Ladd (8) and Bryan Little (6) scored; Chris Mason raised his save percentage to .906 and dropped his goals against average to 2.26; and Zach Bogosian was the game's second star. The most important players on the team, the ones who log the most ice time and are expected to produce, played like the best players on the team. The captain, Andrew Ladd, was the best of the bunch and if that continues this Jets outfit should be just fine. Good teams win because their good players play like good players. Since the Jets went winless in five eatlier this month, the good players have played like good players and suddenly Winnipeg has logged at least a point in five straight games.
The Jets are now 9-9-4 and are still 13th in the East. But they've moved ahead of both the Islanders and the Hurricanes at the quarter pole. At this stage of the season there is nothing wrong with one day at a time.
Tonight, it's Boston and that will be a different test. But if they don't panic, get the goaltending they got on Friday in Raleigh and the team leaders play like team leaders, you never what surprises could be in store.

I agree Scott...especially with the Carolina being Byfuglien's fault...however, the forwards need to pay a little more attention so that when he does pinch, someone drops back in his defensive slot...like Ladd, Antropov, or Burmistrov....all very skilled in the defensive portion of the game so they will make good temporary d-men when 33 rushes up...

Merry Christmas to you and yours as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
Yule is the holiday that arrives each year at the Winter Solstice this year December 22nd. It is the day the Light is born. The Lord is born of the Lady, and as the Sun Child or Child of Promise, returns to life from the realm of the dead, he will grow through youth and into manhood during the waxing year. The occasion of the Solstice marks an end..and a beginning. Like life itself. The old year ends…the new year begins, and it is the official start of Winter. A time to take stock of the past, and plan for the future.

Gospel According to Saint Luke
And it came to pass, that when they were there, her days were accomplished, that she should be delivered. [7] And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him up in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. [8] And there were in the same country shepherds watching, and keeping the night watches over their flock. [9] And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them, and the brightness of God shone round about them; and they feared with a great fear. [10] And the angel said to them: Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, that shall be to all the people:
[11] For, this day, is born to you a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. [12] And this shall be a sign unto you. You shall find the infant wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger. [13] And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army, praising God, and saying: [14] Glory to God in the highest; and on earth peace to men of good will. [15] And it came to pass, after the angels departed from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another: Let us go over to Bethlehem, and let us see this word that is come to pass, which the Lord hath shewed to us.

"This is a cute, comfortable shoe however I do not recommend buying it unless you only plan on wearing it once every few months. I am not generally rough on a pair of shoes as I have many pairs that I have had for many years and they are still in great (some almost new) condition. I've had these shoes less than 3 months and they are already cracking and developing holes. I realize they are not leather but I would expect them to last much longer than what they have."

These turkeys came from southwest Utah, where turkey populations have reached an optimum size, allowing for the removal of surplus birds. In past years, the DWR has partnered with the National Wild Turkey Federation in importing birds from populations outside the state. Finally, Utah's flocks have grown to a point where surplus birds are produced within the states borders. The 26 birds are of the Rio Grande variety, prized for its ability to adapt to low elevation pinyon-juniper, riparian and agricultural settings. The new transplants will supplement a small flock of turkeys that were released about 10 years ago.

The Emery County Board of Education approved the donation of land to the county for the building of a swimming pool. Commissioner Drew Sitterud spoke at the August meeting to garner the support of the school district for the swimming pool project.
One matter left up in the air temporarily is the construction of the parking lot. Sitterud asked the school board if they could pay for the construction of at least a 120 vehicle parking lot. The school board determined they would need to know more details on the expense of such a project.
Sitterud explained the pool complex would house two pools, one indoor and one outdoor. The indoor pool would meet the specifications for the Utah High School Athletic Associations for swim teams. The outdoor pool would be stainless steel with sprinklers, toys, jets, no stairs-zero entry, slide, lazy river, climbing wall, etc. "We held a public hearing on the swimming pool and didn't hear one negative comment. The property at the high school that we were originally thinking of will not fit this pool so we are asking for the property behind the elementary. There are 13 acres there. We need good firm ground on which to build the pool. But, the parking lot can be put in the field. This property is 1.5 blocks away from the high school," said Sitterud.
One other suggestion could be the recreation district go to the CIB for a loan for the parking lot, but that hasn't been decided yet.
The county needs to own the land in order to receive any CIB funds for the project. Sitterud said the school district could use the pool free of charge and they would be required to provide their own lifeguards and clean the facility afterwards.
Superintendant Kirk Sitterud said he felt the pool was in a better location there than taking the parking lot at the high school.
Castle Dale City has pledged $10,000 per year for 10 years to help with the maintenance of the pool.
The school board approved to donate the land to the county for the building of the pool, but would hold the parking lot issue in abeyance at this time while more information is gathered.
It was decided Commissioner Sitterud would gather more information including having the property plotted out and having Johansen and Tuttle prepare an estimate for the parking lot. They will meet prior to the next school board meeting on Sept. 6 at Cleveland Elementary at 5:30 p.m.

Skip to comments.Honk-Your-Horn [Bullying] before running over someone...
Posted on 02/23/2013 12:07:40 PM PST by topher
Last summer, I was in a DMV location in Louisiana taking a test to get a Motorcycle Addendum for my Driver's License.
I heard a woman ask the person in charge of written tests: "Can I take it again?" She had just flunked the written test.
In this part of Louisiana, we lost a covered bus stop (made of metal) because someone was driving drunk. No surprise for Louisiana -- with drive through margaritas.
On different occasions, I have had drivers attempt to use Honk-Your-Horn Bullying
Today the person tried to run over me -- without stopping.
I was on a bicycle in a bike lane when this car honked its horn (behind me), and then proceeded to turn into me.
Basically, I did not stop, but the car finally stopped about 10 inches from me.
It was a woman driver.
And this is not the first time in Louisiana where a car thought it could run a bicycle off the road (or even run over it).
There was a case near the University of Louisiana at Lafayette that I was walking on the sidewalk, and a car coming out of fast food place honked its horn because "I was in the way" -- being on the sidewalk.
Louisiana -- as well as other states -- need to make it clear that pedestrians have right-of-way over vehicles (including bicycles) and that motor vehicles must yield to non-motorists vehicles (bicycles) as well as pedestrians.
I do understand that in New York City (Manhattan), one may be taking their life in their hands being near the streets on either bicycles or walking.
People need to understand the rules for driving rather than thinking that since a car is bigger than a person or a bicycle, it is allowed to run over them without consequence.
But then look at who Louisiana has had as governors -- including our current governor...
At night, it is even worse to walk or ride a bicycle -- with the drunk drivers. Though I have bicycle lights, there are times (such as Mardi Gras) that not using lights is probably better.
There are folks who might try to get the person on the bicycle.
That is what happened to Mickey Shunick -- she had distinctive lights on her bicycle. [Mickey Shunick is a co-ed who killed after a man in a white pickup crashed into her bicycle and then abducted and killed her.
This is unfortunately sad but true. I would hope in some parts of the country (rural Texas as well as other areas) that people would respect that you might kill someone by being irresponsible behind the wheel.
The more conservative the area, the safer I would feel.
The more severe problems I have had in Louisiana were with women drivers (on cell phones, thinking they are allowed to run over pedestrians and bicycles, etc).
I don't mean to pick on women, but someone needs to educate the ones who have problems driving (not all women drivers are bad -- but I have run into some of the bad ones here).
... yield to non-motorists vehicles (bicycles) as well as pedestrians.
... yield to non-motorized vehicles (bicycles) as well as pedestrians.
Question for you. Do people on bicycles need to obey the traffic signals (red lights, stop signs, etc) or is there another rule for people on bikes versus cars or pedestrians? For example, are bikers allowed to run red lights because they are on bikes, or should they stop, too?
It was so close that it must have set off the proximity alarm in the car, as the woman stopped dead in the street trying to figure out what happened.
She was so confused that I was able to pass her (she stopped so long and I was headed down that street).
I guess coming close to hitting bicycles can confuse the drivers with the technology that alerts them that they are too close to something...
Yes, bicyclists should stop, too.
I do.
Whether you like it or not, bicyclistsare viewed with great derision by auto drivers. Just today I had one going 10 or 11 MPH in the MIDDLE of the MIDDLE lane on a 3 lane, 40 MPH boulevard.
Cars had to veer off into the other lanes to go around him (very dangerous).
Just like that cyclist (California?) who got hurt when the vehicle he (the cyclist) was harassing hit the brakes. By all known driving laws when a vehicle hits the back of another vehicle THEN VEHICLE #2 was following too closely! I can't believe they successfully prosecuted the auto driver.
Bottom line: unless and until you get the rest of your cyclist buddies to not be self-important douchbags (I assume you are not one of those), you won't get much sympathy.
Bicycles should stop for lights and follow traffic rules. And pedestrians should also avoid jaywalking
There is even one busy street that I will get off the bicycle and cross with the WALK light (for pedestrians) just because people will make left turns.
Stop signs are another issue -- for if I come to a stop on a bicycle, I will block traffic with the time it takes me to get to a reasonable speed.
I do cheat on stop signs (4 way stops) as I am going so slowly.
In the 1970's (in Orange County, California), I needed to get across 6 lanes of traffic and two sets of double yellow lines.
An Irvine Policeman cited me for that as a moving violation.
In some places, the police will cite bicycles.
In this city, the police will warn bicycles not to ride on the sidewalks downtown, and force them to ride in the streets.
A general rule ANYWHERE is that it is against the law for bicycles to ride on the sidewalk.
However, I do that for the sake of safety on some very busy roads
Thank you for the reply. It may seem strange to ask such a question, but I see bike riders do all sorts of things like that (breaking the traffic laws), and I think it puts them in peril's way. I wonder why they want to put themselves in jeopardy like that, and lately I wonder if it's intentional to score a big payday in today's litigious society.
In the case of what you are describing (someone riding a bicycle in 40 mph road), using the horn might be good to let people know that the person might be doing something dangerous.
In my case I was riding in the bicycle lane (I actually to the outside of it away from traffic).
When there is no bicycle lane on a busy, high speed street, I will ride on the sidewalk.
I ride on the sidewalk in such cases in this area. I have seen people riding 5 to 10 mph on 45 to 50 mph roads around Lafayette, LA.
They will here. I stop at stop signs and follow the rules. Then again, I don't ride on busy streets. There are enough side roads around here that I can get my ride in most days without ever seeing a car on the same road I'm on.
I am as adamant an advocate for drivers of motor vehicles recognizing the rights of way of bicyclists as any person. I often use a bicycle for practical trips, including rides of several miles on busy roads, and I have done so for years.
So, I sympathize with your frustration, to be sure. Still, it's worth saying, for anyone reading the thread, that the proper way for a bicyclist to go straight through an intersection in which right turns are legal for traffic is not on the far right side. It's safer, and more proper, to move out into the middle or the left of the right lane so that drivers coming up behind you either will wait for you to enter the intersection before they turn right or will occupy the space to your right and make a right turn without crossing your path. You should signal before changing your lane position, of course, and you should do it when safe. So, you sometimes have to plan a bit before an intersection in traffic.
Bike lanes are supposed to be painted to acknowledge this practice. Bike lanes are supposed to start breaking up for an intersection so as not keep a cyclist riding on a path that will set him up for a right hook from car drivers turning right from the rider's left. In most places the bike lanes are properly painted, but they might not be in your area.
It's also true, too, that some drivers will just try to move past a cyclist and then turn right in front of him anyway. That kind of driving it outright dangerous, and it makes me angry, too. One has to be alert for that even if one is doing the right thing on a bicycle.
For those who raise the following point, I agree that bicycles should obey the traffic laws, too, on shared streets with ordinary motor traffic. Drivers find it easier to predict a rider's behavior if one does, and drivers tend to respect the bicyclist more, too.
Yeah ditto I will watch (and do watch) for bicyclists. But there seems, in some quarters, to be an "I'm better than you cause I don't pollute" attitude in the girdle wearing bike community. And these folks think it is ok to take up the middle of a lane in there 10mph machines. Move over and let cars pass. I will make sure I don't cut you off at an intersection but don't drive down the middle of a lane at snail pace speed and expect me not to honk.
HIs case wasn't helped when he told the first responding police officer that he cut in front of them and slammed on his brakes "to teach them a lesson."
I would suggest telling the police about it. It might save someone's life.
As I said, there are some busy streets that I cross WALKING THE BICYCLE ACROSS IN THE CROSSWALK with the 'Walk' signal on
I had trouble even with that as some cars believe they need to floor it to make a left turn.
At one time, I would ride across in the Pedestrian Crosswalk at that intersection with WALK LIGHT on, but there were too many people just flooring it (putting the accelerator to the floor) when the light turned green. This was cars making a left turn.
I just decided to get off the bicycle at that light as too many cars had a habit of doing that at that particular intersection.
There was no left turn arrow -- I guess they were in the habit of accelerating at the light.
Just like that cyclist (California?) who got hurt when the vehicle he (the cyclist) was harassing hit the brakes. By all known driving laws when a vehicle hits the back of another vehicle THEN VEHICLE #2 was following too closely! I cant believe they successfully prosecuted the auto driver.
That is unfortunate that they prosecuted the car driver.
They should cite bicyclists (cyclists) for tailgating cars (cyclists who draft off cars).
The movie Breaking Away shows a scene with the cyclist tailgating a truck. He is drafting off thea tractor trailer truck as it gets up 60 mph. A very bad example, but then Hollywood sets the standard for bad examples these days.
When I was in HS, I used to ride my bike to work and used to draft (but I was behind to the right — you know hoe if you get that "sweet spot" the suction pulls you along like a madman but if you need to you can fall back.
But that was a LONG time ago.
What happened was that the guy pulled up alongside some riders who were going at the speed limit (easy on that downhill on a decent road bike) and started screaming at them. Then he pulled in front of them, cut over abruptly and slammed on his brakes. One guy went through his back window. The driver then continued to scream at the cyclists and tried to drive away until another cyclist called 911 and sat on his hood to keep him from leaving. When the police arrived, he told them that he did it to teach the cyclists a lesson. He got five years.
I ride a mountain bike, and my days riding a racing bicycle are over.
One reason I ride the mountain bike is that with the drivers around here, I may have to go into the grass to avoid getting run over. Louisiana drivers.
We had a recent scandal here in Lafayette, Louisiana that DWI and OWI convictions were purged from driving record by bribing someone in the District Attorney's office (City of Lafayette).
Louisiana still has a lot of trouble with corruption -- noting the recent trouble that Mary Landrieu had with not paying her DC taxes as well as the indictments of former New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin...
>>I ride a mountain bike, and my days riding a racing bicycle are over.<<
Ah, when we look at back when did and ask "and I survived???"
Just riding a bike on a path these days is enough for me...
And motorcyclists as well. Here we have shyster lawyers running ads that make it sound that whenever a motorcyclist is involved in an accident it is always the other drivers' fault. Not so with the crotch rocket nutjobs I've seen weaving in between cars and lanes driving unsafe for everyone else.
I don't ride outdoors anymore. Too many people are distracted or inattentive, and I really don't want to drive because some knob is texting or checking the makeup in the sun visor mirror.
Earlier today I was leaving the grocery store and encountered a woman riding an olde-timey looking bicycle (flat handlebars, full wheel fenders) right in the middle of traffic. Two lanes each way and she was out in the left lane, I think preparing to turn left using the left-turn lane that was ahead of her. Cars were lining up behind her because she was going so slowly.
Now, this is Dekalb, IL at 20 degF and there is snow and ice all over from the recent snowstorm. I took a wide berth around her but it can't have been safe to be on a bicycle where she was in any weather. Seemed kind of crazy to me.
I used to ride my mountain bike everywhere when I lived in Austin, TX in my 20's. I respect and understand if that's someones only mode of transportation.
This brings up an interesting issue, and that is CCW while cycling. If you search the biking forums there are very contentious discussions going on, and the threads tend to get locked (or deleted) pretty quickly. I guess bike forums tend to be moderated by libs.
There was a recent blog post by a local guy who owns a bike shop that caters to bike commuters and tourers that talks about this very issue: http://biketouringnews.com/advocacy-awareness/bike-touring-and-riding-defensively/
On a lighter note, here's a humorous take on cycling: The Cycling Tour
You're not going to get any sympathy on FR re: bicycles. To many of the kind described in the story. Most FReepers hate cyclists for one reason or another. They believe those of us who occasionally ride a bike or run on the road should be at their whim and mercy.
There was your first mistake.
"and I survived???"
I rode motocross for 5 years and have ridden horses for 40.I mostly survived,except for my knees,wrists,hips,ankles and shoulders.
Had I known that I was going to live this long,I would have taken better care of myself.
As someone who rode bicycles before the left took over everything, we used to have to keep out of the way of cars, our lives were in our own hands when we got into their territory.
I too am a bicyclist and am all too aware that a minor blemish on a 2 ton vehicle is a broken body to me. Newton's laws are even more stringent than Obama's whims and "F=m*a" means I am toast if I get hit at any kind of speed. That being said, I share the road with motor vehicles like a coward and duck off of it where it is logical and safe.
Still there are motorists who do feel that it is their right to force me and harass me and they know that they can do it with impunity. I have had shaken beer splooshed in my face, cars weave deliberately into my path and other things. Like all things, these are the minority barbarians and they are the mirror kin of the barbarian cyclists who behave equally bad.
No simple answers except to remind everyone that there is a final justice if it is not rendered here on earth and that behaving as if your mother were watching you right then is a good rule.
Not here - it's encouraged. It still won't do you much good for folks exiting alleys and driveways. But it does keep you from getting run over from behind.
I was in New Orleans for over a month. In all that time I never saw a car that wasn't dented somewhere. The people there have a culture of careless driving.

Is Old Town safe?
by Steve McIntosh
posted Sep 27 2013 12:48AM
Just about any popular gathering place will eventually attract the wrong kind of people. The trick is to control the criminal element so that the general public feels safe to use that venue.
Wichita's Old Town is a case in point. We love the area, but who wants to be down there when the bars close on the weekend? Wichita police have a permanent substation in Old Town, but that didn't slow down some fool with a gun last Sunday morning. He fired into a crowd … killing one man and wounding six more. Several cops were a block away at the time of the shooting. Why weren't they at the club that was closing? W-P-D will have to answer that.
The police released statistics that show two homicides in the Old Town area this year, compared to one last year. The figures also show a 32% reduction in crime in the area.
Is Old Town developing an image problem? Is it safe?
I still believe it is … but not at closing time on the weekends. That's when I will be somewhere else.
Our thought for today is from
Ramsey Clark:
"There is no conflict between liberty and safety. We will have both or neither."

Skip to comments.Pence: I Probably Wont Support Budget Deal
Posted on 04/10/2011 9:46:02 AM PDT by Qbert
Indiana GOP Rep. Mike Pence says he is not likely to support the compromise brokered Friday between Congress and the President Barack Obama, Politico reports.
From what I know, it sounds like John Boehner got a good deal, Pence said Sunday on ABCs This Week, adding that the cuts were probably not good enough for me to support it.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
If it's a good deal, why won't he support it? Very weird.
He sounds like Bachmann. That's not a compliment.
Obama couldn't get his 2011, Stimulus and TARP baselined, ~$3.7 trillion (with a ~$1.5 trillion deficit) budget passed by a Democrat congress. So now the same budget, 1% lower and"negotiated" by a Republican majority, is supposed to be "a good deal"?
The GOP is an incoherent mess. Bachmann has been sounding the same way. We need to make a deal and once we do, I won't support it. Sounds like POLITICS to me.
Because he's being politically correct. He really thinks the deal sucks.
The Tea Party needs to take names and take a close look at everyone they worked for and donated to. Those not doing what they promised to get elected have got to be replaced in 2012. If we can't trust them to put the country first, they need to be sent home, IMO.
Mark Levin exposed what a joke Boehner's games are on Cauvot's show.
Freepers involved with The Tea Party please take note and bring this up at your next meeting.
Pretty wishy-washy in my view.
"If it's a good deal, why won't he support it? Very weird."
—I think he's trying to be polite, under the circumstances.
An aside: Does John pay benefits to pimp the Deal on Conservative sites, or is it just a flat-fee-per-word kind of agreement?...
I disagree with your opinion.
I think it sounds like he is afraid of his House leadership, and he thinks that the deal is bad.
It's more than that with the other previous CR's.
This was not really about the money...it was about negotiating power.
Boehner came out looking like he very well have more of that, which portends well for Ryan's trillions in cuts ahead. That's why people are happy. We haven't won yet, but we're on the right track.
You're an idiot. Where have I celebrated the budget deal? Answer: Nowhere. So shut your sphincter, dope, or else go into a private stall before opening it. The smell of what comes out is offensive.
This is the plight of the politician who isn't willing to call out subversive elements in his own party. "It's a great deal! I won't vote for it!"
And I will remind everybody that there was no "cut" relative to the 2010 budget. The only thing cut was a small amount of money from Obama's failed budget proposal.
In fact, this deal increases the budget and the budget defict relative to the stimulus soaked 2010 budget.
If Boehner needs Pence's vote this week, Pence will vote for the compromise.
LOL, because he knows the so called cuts are not real. And he got his ass in a crack supporting amnesty with jorge bush.
"He sounds like he's afraid of the Tea Party but he personally thinks the deal was OK."
I don't think so. I've met Mr. Pence and he is a true American. There is something else more sinister going on with this budget deal. All I can say is it better bring about something much bigger down the road. Damn it, we won! Let's not play footsies with these socialist scum.
So why say it's a good deal, along with other positive words about Boehner?
Pence knows that at this time this is the best that could be gotten and that the real cutting will come with the Ryan bill.
If that's what he thinks he should vote for it.
What is your view of the tea party?
You always support the speaker if you are a representative, he is the one that makes and takes committee assignment has nothing to do with the matter at hand.
Nonsense...there were many reps speaking out against TARP, for example.
Reps speak out against deals all the time.
I feel really bad for Pence and Conservatives entrapped in this mess. They're being forced to vote for the largest deficit in history- a deficit almost twice as large as the Stimulus that got ZERO votes from Repubs, for Pete's sake... and for what?
I think Conservatives need a last minute wake-up call: Tell the leadership they're only willing to support week-long CR's with small cuts until a suitable deal can be worked out that they can support. This Deal feels just like TARP all over again, dumping things onto peoples' desks at the last minute and saying the world will come to an end immediately if they don't vote "Yes" (on details that should've been worked out months ago by the leadership).
Wishful thinking on my part probably, but I hope cooler heads can somehow prevail.
Into the path of an oncoming train.
He sure did and I dont trust the sumbitch.
Boehner could use a couple Viagras.. I would say..
Could be we need a new Speaker of the House..
You know.. a Boehner with some balls.. and a "leaded" woody..
Lets say...... Paul Ryan as "Speaker of the House"..
They have to count the votes first. If there are enough dems who vote for it Spence can play "tea partier" and vote against it.
Anybody still thinking that Pence is Presidential material needs to read this article very carefully to see how weak a man he really is.
Totally weasily statement on his part.
He is not leadership material, therefore, he is not POTUS ready!
Pence can take this stand because it is right. He can because he isn't going to run for the WH. He has already stated that.
Pence cannot support this because he is the one that wrote a bill to defund Planned Parenthood, which was dumped on this agreement.
He isn't running for the WH so he can stay to his principles.
Even though he says it's a good deal, he votes against it? Odd.
He votes against on the premise that it did not include his defunding of Planned Parenthood.
Pence isn't stupid. He also knows that we could probably never get what we really wanted past Harry Reid and the White House.
I am really amazed how folks think that just because we won the House, we can get what we want.
The biggest victories in 2010 were Statehouses and legislatures.
We could get far more if we could stop the Senate and Obama. Only way that will happen is to gain control of the Senate and/or the WH.
Right now we can make a stand and diminish dem damage and create gridlock.
Fully agree. I am actually somewhat gratified to hear Pence say we got a good deal; it shows he's not going along with that mentality.
He votes against on the premise that it did not include his defunding of Planned Parenthood.
If true, it would be good for him to specify that; if he did I didn't hear it.
It is much harder to actually have to vote on bill and put your money where your mouth is than to sit on the sidelines, out of the actual fight, and squawk.
Pence is not running for President and he is far better than the potentials we have now, who seem to know it all, but don't have any skin in the game to be held accountable for by voting records.
Good grief. He just wrote a bill to defund Planned parenthood. No doubt. the GOP added it into this budget bill.
Very sad. It would never have passed the Senate or Obama anyway.
But it is sitting there ready. If we win in 2012 big time...it could be passed quickly.
So many people are trashing everyone over falsehoods or because they expect something that isn't possible right now.
At this point in time, we have no way to win 2012 with this going on.
I am not really nuts about the Pence immigration stance. It is about like every other GOP potential except Bachmann, I much prefer Steve King, who is not running, on that issue.
I think it could.
I think a lot of organizations on the left are thinking so, too, which is why they're slowly backing off their support for PP.
I think we've got a good chance for 2012. I kind of see where the squabbling now might work in our favor; if we can get the arguments somewhat worked out now (with the falsehoods you mention explained more clearly in time) there is more of a chance of clearer sailing come Fall 2012. Here's to hoping anyway.
Yep, thats about all we can do.

Skip to comments.The End of the Obama Illusion
Posted on 05/15/2013 5:55:27 AM PDT by Texas Fossil
President Obama is shattering the illusions of his supporters, and eyes are opening, even among his former media allies. As if waking from a slumber, a newly aggressive White House press corps yesterday raked Jay Carney over the coals over various lies and evasions, prompting Megyn Kelley of Fox News to quip, "What's happened? Who are these reporters who showed up here?"
They are disillusioned and angry liberals who are starting to grasp that they have been lied to, who realize that a skeptical stance is necessary when examining a narrative offered by team Obama on Benghazi or the IRS scandal.
(Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...
The perspective of the writer is spot on. The press is beginning to awake to what they have supported and the illusion is gone. The mask is coming off and the face is ugly.
he has the entire media and school system to buffer his image for years longer, deep into his third term.
For using the IRS to fix the election I call on Barack Obama to resign now!
As this is supposed to be government by the people .I call on the American people to do a citizens arrest on this criminal called Barack Obama
Once again proving that marxists from Chicago good leaders in a free society DO NOT make...
Too late now.......
.......and thanks, wimpy RINOS.
Some wit posted that after that brutal presser—Jay Carney was curled up in a fetal position somewhere-—breathing through a paper bag.
He couldn't have cheated his way to a SECOND term if his treasons were known at the time they happened!
It MIGHT have made a difference, but then again, might not have.
What the conservatives need to do is block every agenda item he has with their majority in the house,
keep the corruption in the forefront,
and actually have people state that the only reason he cannot be impeached because of his father's skin color.
I am deeply saddened by all this. Why, you ask?
Simple...90% of the FReepers, whose "names" I'm familiar with knew BEFORE Obama went to the White House, that this was the future under this 'community organizer'.
I find it can be personally devastating to be proven 100% correct when expecting the very WORST.
I give the MEDIA no credit at all for stumbling on the TRUTH. They took their stand for pure ideological reasons, not expending an ounce of thinking energy on the subject. They are enablers of the very worst kind, and are as culpable in creating this situation as the most corrupt of the Democrats.
Great article, thanks!
You assume he actually has character enough to do so. Like Clinton, even if impeached by the House, the Senate will not convict and he will npto step down.
Democrats have to character, standards or morals.
One data point does not make a trend.
I'm still waiting for more longer term evidence that the press corpse has awakened from their coma and or fawning adulation of ostoner.
This is nothing more than a lovers quarrel between the MSM and O. We'll be back to writing "barf alerts" next week.
If Carney resigns it might be a sign. I bet he's starting to consider it.
There will be no turd term.
Yes, his being is incompatible with any form of freedom.
This sounds like the original series Star Trek epi "And the Children Shall Lead". Bunch of kids had an imaginary friend Gorgan who was leading them down the path to galloping ruin. He had control over them and had them do things they really didn't want to do. Long story short, Kirk found out who Gorgan REALLY was and forced the kids to see him in his true appearance. Gorgan started growing warts, issued empty threats, made false promises, all before being done away with. When the kids (libs in today's equivalant) saw the real Gorgan, they all cried and felt bad about what they've done.
We have that sequel playing out before our eyes today with Obama (Gorgan) finally being exposed. Some of his brain-dead followers are now beginning to wake up from his trance and have their eyes opened to reality. The thing is, Obama has done all of this to himself. A massive self-inflicted wound that may, hopefully, never heal.
I will consider our nation fortunate if it simply has to pay Obummer a pension for the rest of his miserable existence.
Good observation...
Lifson, from the article writes this;
"Some on the right are already talking impeachment, which is a big mistake."
But he does not explain why - he just states it categorically.
Yes, I read that. The problem with early invoking the "I" word is you must have the goods to deliver. Otherwise there can be a sympathy shift from threat and a vilification of the threatener.
"A massive self-inflicted wound"
Yes, and the nation has been given a massive wound that I hope and pray she will survive.
MLK Jr. Isn't The Only One With A Dream
Though I've long suspected that many highly placed Democrat Ops have been looking at this guy for awhile, shaking their heads and thinking "he's a total f**k-up, what are we gonna do?" Could never say it above a whisper though.

Comments: I have run in the Saucony Peregrine since they first came out. Awesome shoe! In a trail race a couple of years back in NorCal, there were multiple layers of leaves (while doing a 700 foot+ incline in the first mile), loose scrabble, sand, dry rocks, wet rocks, moss covered rocks, and roots. Everything you could imagine. And while no shoe is absolutely perfect in all conditions, the Peregrine rose to the challenge and handled them all with ease. Ask anyone that runs in these this shoe, and they will tell you that the outsole is what puts this shoe above many others. Also, if crossing any rivers, shoe really dries out fast!
From: Ralph, Grover Beach, CA, USA
Comments: I bought these and was really excited to try them. They came well recommended to me from a local running store associate. So I went with them. The initial run I did with them wasn't terrible. I still wasnt overly impressed. These replaced Mizuno wave accend 5s. SO these were lighter and less supportive. The second run I did with the perenrines really scared me. I was doing a timed 5k mud run. The first mile was scary. It felt like my ankles were rubber bands. I felt really unsure while running. It was probably me transitioning from the mizuno's but I will not be buying another pair of these. They just werent for me . The worst part of the whole thing is that I lost one of my shoes on that race course and could not find it. I was more upset about not being able to give them to someone who could use them, over the money lost by losing a shoe.

Ah but it's more of a self categorisation like what Usopp said:
Trafalgar Law
Caesar Clown
Kinemon (The Samurai)
Other, namely...
Ah but it's more of a self categorisation like what Usopp said:
The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas!
"Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character"
T. Alan Armstrong
well i am sticking with my hybrid theory that i was talking about a while back. a hybrid half fish man half human fish man should not care if he give blood to sanji and if no humans that are there have his type that might be sanjis best bet.
also on the power grade thing i still think with in the crew luffy might not be included in the monster trio and a new member will be the third in the trio. since luffy is the captain i thing that would be appropriate and i know i am going to get flamed for this cuz i did the last time i brought this up but oh well.
Monster-Luffy, Zoro, Sanji (Cross I still think Luffy will remain since people now recognize him in it)
Middle-Franky, Robin, Usopp (since he graduated)
Weakling-Chopper, Nami, Brook
That is what I think by what manga evidence and speculation. Yet I still think and hope the weakling trio is eliminated as a trio and all three of them graduate to join the rest of the crew under the Monster Trio
Even if Luffy is farther ahead in strength than Zoro and Sanji (which we haven't seen the crew's new bounties yet so they could have closed the gap some) the Monster Trio is recognized as the three strongest members of the SHs. So would you still remove Luffy from it if he is the strongest? Idk but I wouldn't simply bc the Monster Trio would lose its reputation as the "three strongest" and become something like "three strongest below our captain". Even then Zoro and Sanji were quite ahead of the rest of the crew before the timeskip and we know they only got stronger so adding someone else from the crew (Franky would be the best bet imo) doesn't seem to do justice to the Monster Trio's reputation. Still, even if he remains in the MT, as seen during and after the Whitebeard War, people (Supernovas, WG, ID escapees like Crocodile) already recognize as a captain on a completely different level than most pirate crews. This is where I think Oda could compromise on setting himself apart from the crew and other captains himself and yet retaining that MT status.
well bounties do not mean much and i was not talking about luffy being super ahead of them as i said b4. I was saying that
1. they need another top level fighter, they just need more power.
2. i was making that guess due to my belief that they will get some one else close to the same level as the trio so in stead of changing the name just take luffy out since he is the captain and call it a day.
I stopped reading your comments they where so stupid. Monster trio is a power scale and not a ranking. It was originally used by the Straw Hat crew because those three where so much stronger than the rest, they where like monsters to them. If you want to use rank, Luffy is the captain, Zoro is the first mate, Nami is the second mate. Zoro and Nami joined Luffy under a partnership and the only ones to join before they got an official ship and created their Jolly Roger. That would make them the founding members of the Straw Hat Pirates and the top ranked. Again Monster Trio has nothing to do with rank but only power.
Now, with that Power thing; bounty doesn't equal power. Along with that, Luffy is not, in no way shape or form, stronger than Zoro. In Fact, up until the desperation, Zoro has been shown to be more powerful than Luffy. The only reason that you all think Luffy is stronger is because he is the main character and he has defeated the boss's. Let's take Enies Lobby and Thriller Bark for examples. Zoro fought Kaku with a 2200 Douriki and Luffy fought Rob Lucci with a 4000 Douriki. Now you would assume Luffy would be stronger than Zoro because he defeated someone who was stronger. Now, where was Luffy when he defeated Lucci and where was Zoro when he defeated Kaku? Luffy was on the ground and couldn't move, Zoro was still running around. Not only that but Asura 1hitKO'd Kaku. Zoro would have done just as good against Lucci as Luffy did. But Wait! Isn't one of the reasons Luffy won was because he had gear two and faster? Let's look at the end of thriller bark for the answer. The fight with Kuma. One of Kuma abilities, as he claims, are shooting out compressed air at the speed of light. Even if it is not that fast, his ability is pretty fast. Now the thing is Zoro was able to dodge all of them. That would make base Zoro speed greater or equal to G2 Luffy. Endurance wise, Zoro is far superior and that should be obvious. With all of the pain he received from thriller bark and Kuma he was still able to land a hit on Kuma and take all of Luffy's Pain and Suffering and add it to his own and still remain standing for additional hours. So, up til the time skip, Luffy<=Zoro in fighting power. Now, we just have to wait and see.
I Love You!
I believe Luffy>Zoro for the simple fact that it won't make sense if it's the other way around. Though I agree that at the start of the manga Luffy=Zoro. Though if they both fought each other (which they did to some extent) Zoro would probably win because his style is the worst match-up for Luffy. That doesn't neccesarily mean he's stronger than Luffy. Yes, a healthy Zoro could have defeated all of the boss Luffy fought except Enel. It'll be much tougher task for him to beat Lucci though imo but easier beating Croc.
I still think Luffy is tad better than Zoro just because he's got a df which makes him more durable. But if both just non-df human Zoro>>Luffy. Same way that WB was the strongest man in the world not Garp because WB has an advantage with his df (given Garp doesn't have one) Even though they both fought on equal ground against Roger.
sig made by me
OMG what did i get my self in to LOL
I NEVER SAID LUFFY WAS STRONGER THAN ZORO and did not mean that all i was saying was if the monster trio title extend out side the crew i do not think luffy should be included because he is the captain but thats just my opinion. i did not want to start a who is stronger debate LOL. i do not think either of them is stronger than the other.
but this does not really have any thing to do with a new crew member. so look i was rambling again forget i said any thing about the trio i just meant that they need some one else around that level. i mean some one around the same level zoro was at B4 there training.
The problem with predicting the next nakama is that there is a whole bunch of [insert fav insult] who use extremely stupid and unrelevant plotpoints and/or backgrounds, to try to connect them in a pathetic attempt to "prove" or search for a "pattern" that will make their favorite character "nakama material".but this does not really have any thing to do with a new crew member. so look i was rambling again forget i said any thing about the trio i just meant that they need some one else around that level. i mean some one around the same level zoro was at B4 there training.
Most recent example: all SH were antagonist even in the slightest sense at some point, conclusion? Caribou is eligible for nakama.
Or, every SH helped Luffy or someone of the crew before joining, conclusion? Perona is eligible for nakama for helping Zoro.
Or, every SH ended up liking Luffy before joining, conclusion? Hancock is eligible for nakama.
Seriously guys.

These cards were perfect for the time of the year and when I get them printed it doesn't take long to do over 100 cards. Love the verse inside and only wish it said Merry Christmas instead of Seasons Greetings.

Strategic Plan - A Philosophy of Excellence
Montana Tech, through exemplary undergraduate and graduate education, workforce development, research, and service, builds on a strong heritage in engineering, science, and technology that blends theory with practice in meeting the changing needs of society and the responsible development and use of natural resources.
Dear Montana Tech Community,
I am extremely proud to be part of an institution that is making such a positive impact on the world, nation, state, and community. I believe in our mission statement and the role Tech plays in developing leaders who responsibly use our natural resources. I appreciate Tech's dedication to programs that blend theory with practice and prepare our graduates for the workplace, graduate education, or professional schools. I know we have all witnessed how ordinary people come to Tech, study with purpose, graduate, and then move on to live extraordinary lives.
To continue our extraordinary journey as an institution, we are committed to deliberate planning and renewal. Our Strategic Plan is a living document that will help guide us over the next several years. As you read our Strategic Plan, my expectation is that you will embrace it as indeed being "our plan." The plan was developed with input from as many Montana Tech constituents as we could involve, and thus reflects our goals and aspirations. From beginning to end the process involved faculty members, staff, students, community members, Foundation board members and staff, and industrial advisory board members. The plan is a framework on which we will build and implement action plans, allocate resources, and then review and celebrate our achievements.
As you read through the plan, allow yourself to dream a little bit. Perhaps you will be reminded to celebrate a past success or achievement. Ask yourself what actions you can take to help achieve the goals of Our Strategic Plan. I am looking forward to the future of Montana Tech.
Best regards,
Donald M. Blackketter
Chancellor, Montana Tech
