Skip to comments.Buffett: Secret ballot is important..."I'm against card check."
Posted on 03/09/2009 5:43:29 AM PDT by PghBaldy
He just said it live on CNBC...deflected it before but Joe Kernen asked again...Warren Buffett "I'm against card check"
Here is posting from CNBC blog: 8:33a: Buffett says union elections should continue to be by secret ballot. He is opposed to the "card check" proposal for worker votes on joining unions.
When will Buffett be producing his own David Brooks and regret his decision to back 0bama?
holding breath now... /sarc
I get advice from my Dad often, sometimes even solicited, but that doesn't mean I follow it. Don't hold your breathj, Obama owes the Unions.
i think a GROWING number of those who voted for Obama are very much regretting their choice.
Oh, so NOW he is a conservative.
Republicans need to play this up immensely. Buffett is a household name. If he is against, America will go with his decision that it is bad.
Buffet just glossed over that.
most of the interview has been Buffet in "rescue obama" mode.
Buffet has been delusionally pro obama.
Kernan asking great questions.
Of course he's insisting he has no opinion about the topics but simply asking the questions.
Kernan is like a dog with a bone. He's not letting up and Buffett is waffling when he can but speaking the truth at times.
Not exactly a conservative but he is complaining that O is trying to do too much at once.
I took that as saying he's spending too much money while he should be concentrating on the economy.
He is for taxing the rich so the poor can have more.
What an idiot.
Buffet is only his "economic advisor" when Buffet promotes what bamster's handlers plan for the economy
Buffet will be dumped like yesterdays garbage in the rush to get bamster to sign this bill
Forbes also against this bill...
it doesn't matter who is against it....the democrats will do it and the economy will be further wrecked. This is intentional folks.
What's strange is that Buffet says he supports Obammy
But he's in opposition to all the principles that Obammy supports.
(Carbon tax, card check, yadda yadda)
The important point I got from Buffet's discussion is he forecasts INFLATION which totally agrees with my view.
Abortion, among other things...
Fortunately the cretins who support PT are funneling thousands (if not millions) more to the Rush Limbaugh Show via their foolish attacks on Rush. If Rush can educate them fast enough, maybe he can convert enough to sanity and reality to put the skids to the destruction of our country.
Buffett is a tool.
Buffet is trying to rescue himself far more than he is trying to rescue obama.
Must suck to wake up to being a useful idiot to the socialists.
Buffet holds a lot of municipal bonds he needs to be bailed out on... Especially in California...
While I watch Becky Quick ,
I listen to Joe. He reminds me of a freeper. No B.S. allowed.
Yes, everyone believes this Obama WH gang are the brightest bulbs, but they've simply advertised loudly for their enemy.
What did he learn from Ayers and as a community organizer? The average Chicago Alderman is not this stupid and their IQs don't average over 90.
Too little, too late Warren.
Buffet's chickens are coming home to roost.
He's a scumbag just trying to get people to put money into his comapny. And some are pulling their money out, like Bill Gates.
Buffett says union elections should continue to be by secret ballot. He is opposed to the "card check" proposal for worker votes on joining unions.Since the proposal is going to pass, and this loser supported the Sock Puppet, big deal.
"When will Buffett be producing his own David Brooks and regret his decision to back 0bama?"
Why, he's getting to buy the market...cheap. Oh, I get it you think the public won't throw the bums out in 2010. Sorry Warren, if that's teh case, you may be in the food lines like everyone else.
Warren is taking a bath just like everyone else.
AIG got an $80billion dollar check and they are wanting more. How much will Warren Buffett be getting?
Buffett is a social liberal.
It rules him.
a baby killing enabler of the first order
may he rot in hell
"I've become a BIG TIME Joe Kernen fan"
My condolences. I think Joe is a brain-dead Liberal, and when he starts speaking I make a quick lunge for the remote control. Becky Quick is a lot more intelligent than Joe, and also easy on the eyes.
The shares of Berkshire Hathaway is now at the levels 10 years ago... not only that, some of his biggest picks are hurting him... Wells Fargo, American Express and now... Burlington Northern.
But I don't feel so sorry for him... he made the choice to back up a socialist and remember him telling everyone that he doesn't think he is being taxed enough? Well, since Warren lost half of his net worth... I bet you he is really regretting his decision now...
Blind pig::Acorn
Buffeet is a greed sh**. His Berkshire Hathaway owns Kirby vacuums which preys on poor old people in rural areas. They end up selling people in trailers $500 vacs on time payments with high interest rate financing deals. So people in trailers end up paying $3,000 for a vac. A story in the WSJ a few years ago talked about Kirby's slimy practices.
Correct. There is a disconnect between what he is saying about the efficacies of 0bama's policies (none) and his general support for 0bama.
It could be delusion on the part of the old coot. But I think it is intellectual dishonesty. Buffet railed several times against corporate dishonesty, and then lied his ass off when the topic was 0bama.
Exactly.....Obozo has already told the union thugs that he'll pay up.
HUGE logic disconect.
Buffet is essentially rescuing his OWN positions.
Oracle of Omaha is just playing to the mob to save his own posterior.
imagine the birkshire shareholders bailing on him.
"Buffet has been delusionally pro obama."
Just speculating, but I doubt buffett is prone to rapturous adulation when it comes to politicians. He could not have survived at his level as long as he has if he were.
Following this assumption, I conclude it means he thinks the interests that are presumed to be running the current administration are in his best interests as well.
His interests are not our interests. Billionaires are functionally as powerful as small nation-states, and have little in common with us.
I don't take anything Buffett takes seriously. He's just the typical lib who advocates higher tax rates, while having several armies of lawyers and accountants looking at every angle they can get to minimize HIS tax liability (just like the Kennedys, for instance). The day Buffett actually pays taxes at the rates at which he wants everyone else to pay them, is the day I'll consider taking him seriously.
Well then it's a darn good thing it's Soros' turn to work the puppet strings today.
I hope Buffett loses billions. He're your president, Warren. Suck it up.
Buffett said that both Republicans and Demos should support Obama. Since it's rather obvious that Congressional Demos are on the same page as Obama, what Buffett really means is this: Republicans should cave in and do whatever Obama wants.
To the contrary, Republicans should grow a backbone and oppose Obama's socialism.
"Whats strange is that Buffet says he supports Obammy"
With apologies to the Beatles:
I say yes, I say no
I say stop and I say go, go, go
Oh, no
I say goodbye and I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why you say goodbye
I say hello
Hello, hello
I don't know why I say goodbye
I say hello
Why? Obama is making him richer every time he or his lackeys open their mouths.
Most of the American people do not need Warren Buffet's stamp of approval on issues.
When the Card Check issue bubbles to the surface, people will be outraged.
"Buffett says the financial system was within days or hours of collapse last September."
I still would like to know who was behind the run.
Put your money where your mouth is, Buffett - then maybe we will believe you.
"They also showed clips of the several times Obama mentioned he gets econ advice form Warren"
Obama only accepts the advice that fits with his agenda
"He is for taxing the rich so the poor can have more."
but he's not a fascist. he doesn't believe govt should control the inputs and pick winners and losers.
I wonder if there's a version of your image that says POS...!?
Smart enough to know O's PO-ing people by the million at a record rate.
Warren B. doesn't know whether he is afoot or horseback. Somedays, hell from hour-to-hour, he changes from liberal to reason and back again over and over.
Someday he will finally become insignificant, assume room temperature and go back to the earth.

|Mile End Rd, E1 4UN London, 英国
Boasting tasteful, modern decor, this private bedroom contains a comfortable double bed and a wardrobe. The tiled communal bathroom features a bidet and a bathtub with shower, and the shared kitchen provides laundry facilities.

Brick Lane offers everything from vintage boutiques and festivals to world-class Curry Houses and vibrant markets.
Stepney Green Underground Station is just a 5-minute walk away, and offers regular services to other parts of the city. For guests with an interest in history, there are many guided tours available within the area.
住宿规定Guests must clean up after themselves.
|Check-in before
+ convenient, since its close to the metro station Stepney Green (NOT Bethnal Green as stated in the description!!!) its a 5 minutes walk.
+ good value for money
+ Kaz does reply emails
+ clean and nice (its looks even better than on the photos)
+ wlan works!
+ Facility manager is very nice and helpful
- 2nd floor without lift
- the light didnt work in our room, but Kaz tried to fix it, though without success
- the neighbourhood wasnt the nicest
- its very loud at night, you have to keep the window closed in order to sleep well at night. People scream, you hear sirens the whole night, as there is a hospital nearby
- it wasnt hard to get the key from this masterlock, but its really tricky to open the door with that key..it took me like 10 minutes and I called Kaz as I was a bit desperate...but he didnt answer my phone call and also didnt called back. Happily we somehow managed to open the main door after several attempts
A very good experience in London in that pretty house, near the city center! We stayed comfortable in our (clean) room and we had the choice to meet people in holiday in the other two rooms of the house!
The neighbourhood by late night was not so safe, but as in every area of the city.
I am going to come back there if I'll come back to London!
thank you, the apartment was ok, our bed was a little bit dirty, he has hairs from.the persons befor... The bedroom was good and the kitchen too but we must go to the first apartment to cook something because we habvent got fire. ththe tv in the room was great and we slept great! thanks a lot
nous étions à Londres début Septembre et je dois dire que nous étions déçu par l'appartement. La chambre est pas trop mal mais rien de fantastique. En revanche la cuisine est juste un couloir et n'est pas très propre. La salle de bain je n'en parle pas. Il y a du scotch pour maintenir la baignoire et avec l'humidité et bien c'est tout noir avec plein de champignon. A savoir aussi qu'il n'y a pas de pièce pour se poser c'est juste une chambre et vous ne rencontrerez pas Kaz.
Enfin, nous avons eu un problème de chaudière qui n'a pas pu être réparé et donc douche froide ou pas de douche pendant nos 4 jours. Kaz avait prévu de nous rembourser un petit peu pour ce désagrément ce qu'il n'a jamais fait.
Très déçu par cet appartement que je ne conseil pas.
We were in London in early September and we were very disappointed with the apartment.The bedroom is not too bad but nothing great. In contrast, the kitchen is just a corridor and not very clean. In the bathroom There was tape around the shower and with humidity it became black with lots of fungus. You should also know that there is no place for rest you just stay in your bedroom and you will never meet Kaz.
Finally, we had a boiler failure that could not be repaired and therefore we had to take cold shower during our stay. Kaz had planned to reimburse us for the little inconvenience but he never did.
Very disappointed in this apartment that I do not recommend.
We spent three night here, and really enjoyed our stay! Kitchen ok, bathroom ok, room very nice, price excellent. We'll come back! :) Thank you.

Comments: I love this grip. The butt end is just big enough, but not too big. I would recommend this to someone who doesn't like the knob big, but not too big.
From: John, Savannah, GA
Comments: This product made my shot so much better. my stick would always move in my hand when i took a shot now it doesn't and i have much better accuracy.
a quick tip i used when putting the sticker on the stick instead of running it under warm water, as i didn't have any handy i had a spray bottle of water and a heat gun, spray the sticky sticker it comes with with water and gently heat it with the heat gun it produces the same results. then slide it on.
From: Scott, San Jose, CA
Comments: I love this one. I have the ribbed version but it was definitely on thicker side. The regular wrapped version is thinner and you can feel your stick a lot better. It feels more comfortable and natural with your gloves on than the ribbed version does. Love the product and highly recommend it.
From: Paul, CA
Comments: Love these grips, have them on all my sticks now. This style is my favorite after trying all the others. I have had the original one about 2 years and it is starting to wear down, the texture is all gone but it is still grippy and working. Unlike the first guy posted you can take these off and reuse them if your stick breaks. You need a flat head screwdriver and some goo gone. Only trouble is getting more adhesive pads. I ordered some directly fromm tacki mac. Saves glove palms too!
From: Gear Executive, Fort Collins, CO
Comments: Great Grip very inexpensive. The only negative aspect of this product us if the stick would break the grip is unable to be removed.
From: Justin, Pittsburgh PA, United States
Comments:Nice and sticky. The wetter the better. Stick handling has improved. It takes a little getting used to if your used to using regular tape because i does feel "thicker" and not as close to your stick as with tape. But the great makes up for it.
From: Brandon L
Comments:Came with simple instructions. Looks just like a tape job. Is long enough down the shaft that you can fit two hands on the grip or you could cut it down easily. Took about 45 seconds to put on stick. Good buy
From: Nathan

Skip to comments.WP: Business Groups Stand By Boehner, Plot Against Tea Party (groups compare tea party to Taliban)
Posted on 10/17/2013 9:21:50 AM PDT by MadIsh32
Despite presiding over a chamber that nearly drove the country to a debt default, John A. Boehner still has the enduring support of a group that wouldve been most harmed by that event: the business community.
Rather than revisit their strategy of supporting Republicans after this weeks near-disaster, influential organizations such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce are standing behind Boehner.
More importantly, Boehners friends in the business community are getting ready to take sides in a few Republican primary races against tea party candidates in Michigan, Idaho and Alabama who could cause the House speaker more trouble.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
"...compare tea party to Taliban..."
They're telling us just how little they know about the Tea Party AND how little they know (but should) about the Taliaban!!
These people disgust me.
Boycott worked in the First Tea Party,
and would end this now.
Every backer of the RINOs and the MSM
should be identified.
It is one thing to say you compare the Tea Party to the Taliban. It is quite another to come up with valid reasons why you take that stance. Does Dirk Van Dongen have any valid reasons why he has come to this conclusion?
"I dont know of anybody in the business community who takes the side of the Taliban minority,
I do.
No one in house is running against Bohner anyway, they didnt in January and they are not now.
They dont want to be Speaker, they want him to be the goat while they get on TV and announce they are voting 'no' on stuff that Obama signs anyway.
Rush and Levin wont tell you that but I will.
Its a Kabuki dance.
this latest crap by the GOP makes me definitely want to turn Libertarian or Constitutional Party. Being in NYC doesn't mean crap anyway—totally Dems.
I thought the bias from the media in 2008 and 2012 were the worst I have ever seen but the media might have out done themselves here .
Their bias is not even hidden anymore.
Chambers of Communists locally here in the Twin Cities metro like to pimp for choo choo trains to herd sheeple to their 'sustainable housing' projects.
Crony Crapitalists.
I wanted to send them an email concerning this, but there isn't a contact on their web site.
I would say that there is more rage and hatred out there now than during the Civil War. Just my thoughts on it.
It's why my wife moved from MA and to FL, why stay in a state where your vote is a waste of time, why pay those socialist taxes for them to pass even more of their socialist crap.
Not that I am any fan of the super big banks. Quite the contrary.
But the fact is that obumbler and JP Morgan were thick as thieves, if you will pardon the pun, but obumbler turned on him like a pit bull because Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase made the mistake of criticizing obumbler.
The result has so far cost JP Morgan BILLIONS in attorney fees, settlements, etc., and the end is not in sight.
Companies who exist under the blessing of government permits or government contracts have to be very careful.
Would Bammy et. al. have turned on their Bankster base and actually defaulted on some of the Treasury bucketfuls of paper output?
They will if their voters say they'll sit home in 12 months. Speakers change. We had three in the late nineties, and this one is not effective.
Congressman are concerned about reelection. I laid out to mine that my eyes are on immigration. I told him I will hold HIM accountable if our leadership allows amnesty in any form. A vote against is not good enough. The leadership serves at their pleasure and their are accountable for that vote.
He's in play.
Key word here...Lobbyist...The Chamber of Commerce has been real friendly with Obama too.
I keep hearing the word "dysfunctional" Government. Part of the "dysfunction" can be attributed to the Lobbyists who play all sides against the middle.
Lenin was right, but he understated it. Idiot capitalists will buy the rope that hangs them, not sell it.
The Washington Times should do a story on how much these business are making from Government contracts.
I think somebody just kicked open a Tea Party Ant Hill...I sure hope so.
Maybe a career change calls to you. There's a great need out there.
The banksters would love a default. Just a couple of points on the ol' Fed Funds rate and the government would be on it's knees at every bond auction.
It all comes down to who prints the money.
"...there is more rage and hatred out there now than during the Civil War..."
You'd be right.
Do you REALLY want someone like me, actually ACTING like a Taliban terrorist?
Keep it up. I have less to lose on a daily basis.
Excellent attitude. I wish more people shared it.
Correct, Bohner probably will jump ship end of next year.
If so then one of the mice will have to step up
They know. They don't care.
If they can use it to create the false image association, it'll play well in the MSM and with the low information voter types.
RE :I told him I will hold HIM accountable if our leadership allows amnesty in any form. A vote against is not good enough. The leadership serves at their pleasure and their are accountable for that vote."
I agree. At this stage give Obama NOTHING
The Chamber Commerce types care only about one thing - money. Heartless people, the lot of them. I support lower taxes (which they love) but they will never stand up for any social issues.
Seems like this is one of the few issues where people do get active. It was stopped under Bush, and has at least been slowed in the House. The leadership seems determined to pass something, though. Unfortunately, we just saw them break ranks with the majority of Reps this week, and we'll probably see it again. This issue is ballgame.
I am not even a hardliner on this issue, but the current Senate bill is disastrous.
Time for the Libertarian Tea Party and leave the GOP behind
The only 'reason' that matters - because it works. The msm will pick up on it and run with it, until it becomes accepted dogma that the TP is synonymous with terrorism.
Finally, when DHS decides it wants to go after 'domestic terrorists', the TP will be at the top of the list. And the RINO's and party bosses will turn a blind eye and a deaf ear. The public at large will appreciate how dhs foiled another 'terrorist plot'.
Smith has been endorsed by Citizens United and the Club for Growth as well as many ID GOP luminaries and is considered the Tea Party candidate.
I live in ID-1 and can't vote for him, but I'll do what I can to support him. We need representatives from Idaho that mirror Cruz and Lee and have their backbone. That ain't Simpson.
Unless we find a way to cut off the money flowing to K-Street...this insanity will continue.
Many people love to use government to protect their businesses from competitors or to get taxpayer funded stuff. Economic development is all the rage, and that amounts to taking money from people to bribe companies to hire people or to re-locate their business. It's all a con, and every town, city, and state has a staff of planners and econ development people who are paid to take nice trips and schmooz with people. Central planning always fails.
Nobody talks about what people would have done with the money if they had been allowed to keep it.
And remember, Obamacare was endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce.
Whaddaya know. Look at this list of events on the NAWD's home page:
NAW Billion Dollar Company HR Roundtable November 5th-6th, 2013
NAW Billion Dollar Company Operations Roundtable November 5th-6th, 2013
NAW Billion Dollar Company Chief Legal Officer Roundtable November 5th-6th, 2013
NAW Large Company CFO Roundtable November 13th-14th, 2013
It's a trade organization(read: corporate cronyism lobbying group) for big business. Of course they're for the GOPe brand of big government, amnesty, etc..
Here is what we have learned after we changed to Independent after 30 years Republicans. We did this last year after the fiasco in the elections here in New Mexico. First we got a phone call from the local Republican Party asking why we had changed our registration. The worker was then trapped and had to listen to our complaints. Secondly we got to call them and bitch about the donation request after the first one came in. That stopped all of them.
It may not mean crap here in NM but it sure made our life a whole lot calmer. And the Libs do not pick a fight with us anymore.
It's the Washington Compost - the mouth piece of the DNCC.
Lie #1: a group that wouldve been most harmed by that event: the business community.
There wasn't ever a real threat of default and there can't be. It's a twofer, because businesses in general would do better with less government by both cost and scope/size.
If you could permanently cut $250 billion from the budget you could eliminate the corporate income tax and free churches and any other corporate group from government interference.
Can you find more lies?
I think we need to start with capitol hill staffers.
People have this fantasy that they're a bunch of fresh faced kids just out of college but the reality couldn't be further from the truth. For instance, John McCain's former legislative director went directly from McCain's office to become VP of Lockheed Martin for a few years and is now GOP staff director for the Senate Armed services committee.
Let him know how you feel about him comparing Americans to Muslim extremists...
To reach Dirk Van Dongen: firstname.lastname@example.com
You need to perm cut about 1 trillion from the budget
That starts with social security, medicare, medicaid and any other generational theft items
More on this scumbag...

"These shoes are absolutely perfect. They feel almost like walking barefoot but so much better. They give you a great "feel" for the ground you're walking on (or up and down stairs), but they also offer wonderful arch support and shock absorption. A miracle! The sole isn't super thick or chunky, but the shoes still manage to feel substantial and secure while being really nice and flexible. The best of all worlds. If I had to say one bad thing about them (which is hard to do) - the zipper is metal and it makes the quietest little jingling noise as I walk (I'm a bit extra-sensitive to noise, I guess). Other than that...PERFECTION! Wish Merrell did not discontinue these...BUY THEM WHILE YOU CAN! They now seem to only make them for the Australian market. Bummah! (I have 4 pairs...so that should hold me for a while) ;) Merrell - if you are reading this - bring them back!"

Wellity wellity wellity
Ryan Lambert
April 08 2009 11:30AM
I am not so good at predicting things, apparently.
Well, yesterday I said five of a list of 10 things would happen. Let's see how close I was:
1. Jarome Iginla has a multiple-point night.
Well he had Calgary's only goal, so I suppose I was half-right. TLP score: 0.5 for 1.
2. Daymond Langkow has a goal.
Nope. TLP score: 0.5 for 2.
3. Miikka Kiprusoff stands on his head.
He kind of did until the end when the game just got away from everybody. I'm gonna put myself down as a "right" for this one. TLP score: 1.5 for 3.
4. The power play lights Roberto Luongo up like Times Square on New Years Eve.
Hahaha yeah right. TLP score: 1.5 for 4.
5. Dion Phaneuf demolishes someone.
Phaneuf was officially credited with one hit in the game, and it wasn't especially memorable (since I don't remember it). TLP score: 1.5 for 5.
6. Two goals come from guys with less than 10 on the year.
Do Rick Rypien (3) and Matthias Ohlund (5 and 6) count? TLP score: 1.5 for 6.
7. Olli Jokinen makes his long-awaited return to the scoresheet.
Even though I was technically right here (he had the primary on Iginla's goal), I now await his return to the healthy scratch list. TLP score: 2.5 for 7.
8. Someone has a Gordie Howe hat trick.
No one even fought. What a ripoff. TLP score: 2.5 for 8.
9. Todd Bertuzzi comes to PLAY tonight.
Oh good god no. He was hideous. TLP score: 2.5 for 9.
10. Jamie Lundmark plays the hero.
He almost did when he hit the post. Almost. Half credit again, since I'm feeling generous. TLP score: 3 for 10.
Okay, okay. I'm an idiot.
The Good
Offense — On most nights, 46 shots is enough to keep you winning, but Roberto Luongo was just about unbeatable. He's the only reason on the Canucks that Vancouver won that game. (The other reason we'll get to in a minute.)
Miikka Kiprusoff — He made a number of difficult stops last night and generally looked very good for the second game in a row. Can't blame him on goals Nos. 2 or 3. Those were tipped by Phaneuf and on a screen, also by Phaneuf.
Another goal for Jarome Iginla — Four in five games now. It's a pity the rest of the Flames are just letting him do it in a vacuum for the most part.
The Bad
The meltdown — You knew it was coming since the amount of pressure the Flames were putting on was unsustainable, but it was upsetting nonetheless to see a whole team, gassed though it may have been, quit in the final five minutes. The fact that they're skating with this short bench is entirely Darryl Sutter's fault, and I wish someone in the media would call him on it.
The Ugly
Jordan Leopold and Dion Phaneuf as a pairing — It needs to stop. They looked horrible again last night and were on the ice for three of Tampa's four goals, and were directly responsible for the first two. The third was one of those things, but Jesus Christ.
The power play — Another 0-fer night. I think that makes them 0 for the last 37. It's around there anyway. And this despite another coupla 5 on 3s.
Todd Bertuzzi on the power play — What a useless lump of turd this guy has been on the FIRST power play unit. First!
Mike Keenan — As I pointed out on my own blog, he's really the one that cocked this whole thing up. The Flames were playing like garbage for the majority of the third period, and he just sat there like a moron and never used his timeout when it was clear the PK guys, who were so busy in the final 15 minutes or so, needed a breather and a talking-to. Because of his inaction, a one-goal deficit doubled and then tripled in the space of about five minutes.
I dont understand why The Flames look like a cup con tender at home and then look average on the road. To me they look intense and focused at home but on the road theyt look too methodical. It seems like they are thinking a little too hard. They still could make a nice postseason run but if they cant find their game on the road they will be bounced out in 6. Any Flames fans have a theory as to why on the road they are a medicore team at best?
In edmonton we have the opposite problem (pretty good road team but terrible at home)
3 for 10 TLP! That ain't not half bad. I once correctly predicted the outcome of a 1937 Rangers-Canadians a mere 70 years after it occured. I hadn't read the score but I looked at the line up and said "Look at that weak defense they have there in NYR. No way they are beating this pre WWII squad."
And man was I right.
*remembers fondly something that never happened*
Dowbiggin at the Herald has been on Sutter for his cap management and even wrote an article on how bad Phaneuf is this year as well as pokes at Phaneuf through the last half of the season in his Monday IDLM column.
The really bad homers are the guys on Fan 960, they just will not say a critical thing about the players. This morning Peter Mar and Mike Rodgers were talking about what a great game Bertuzzi has last night! Kerr is just as bad.
Well Maher, I believe, draws a paycheck from the Flames because he's the radio guy. It's in his interest to not rock the boat.
@ Deans:
I think you picked the wrong game to highlight the Flames' road weaknesses (which I'm not denying). The Flames dominated last night.
That said, why do the Flames struggle on the road? Hard to pinpoint. It's possible that the opposition having last change exposes some of the ES albatrosses on the team.
Whoa! It's busy in here today :) Could it have something to do with our neighbours to the north falling flat on their faces for the third season in a row?
Enjoy your last two games Oilers as the Flames lay a beating on your terrible team.
Sorry Merzer, I can't see the Flames winning both games, my guess is a split which means the most evil team wins the NW title. The Flames have not shown a killer instinct this year. Last nights game was close but they still lost.
Time to start worrying about Chicago.
@ TLP: Fair enough but Marher said Bertuzzi had a good defensive game. He should lose his HOF entry for that comment.
The score was a little decieving. From what I saw, Loungo was a beast last night. The series against either CHG or CLB will be fun to watch. If Mason in CLB plays well this could be a 7 game classic.
The Oilers are starting JDD (their backup) in the two games against Calgary. Enjoy the free points the poor guy hasnt played in almost 40 games.

of course it's embarrassing to see him carry the water like that, and i don't defend his decision to do it. i see why he does it, of course, but it's completely lacking in journalistic integrity and is therefore mortifying. it also makes him look incredibly foolish.

The posts showed up huge too.
Sigh, double victory against the Oil should be all but academic, but I can see 4 points going down the tube this weekend.
Are you an Oil fan by chance? I can't really tell....
@ R O: I'm a lifelong Oilers fans but unlike EVERYONE else in this city I can apreciate other NHL teams and other sports. I like the players on the Flames, just there fans irritate me but not in a "5 cups to one" kinda way.

Tuesday 7 July 2009: Australia's newest international airline, V Australia has embarked on its first big social media campaign, partnering with Twitter and radio station Nova to launch a bold national campaign for Australians to win a trip to Los Angeles for three days or 4320 minutes of "tweeting".
The campaign "4320 LA" was inspired by recent trends which show Australians are continuing to travel overseas but are increasingly value conscious and keen to cram in as much action and activities into shorter breaks. (Tourism Research Australia 2009)
The four week campaign kicked off on Nova radio this week and will be supported by extensive print media as well as digital and social media.
The challenge is for a team of three people to fly to LA, take in the sights and delights on the City of Angels for three days non-stop and between the team, tweet every single minute of the 4320 minutes they are in LA.
Virgin Blue Group General Manager, Marketing, Michelle Lee, said, "This is particularly exciting for us as it's our first big campaign with Twitter, a medium we believe to be particularly relevant not only to the social media-savvy set but to our other long haul Guests who use Twitter as an everyday communications channel."
She continued, "For V Australia, it's about breaking into new markets, reaching out and speaking to people in a relevant way, be it through newer mediums such as Twitter and You Tube or more traditional channels like print or radio. V Australia is a fresh, new Australian airline and we are excited about combining traditional methods of communicating with Guests with new methods in the same way that V Australia is innovating its in-flight experience using the best of old fashioned service with modern products and services."
V Australia has been constantly monitoring Twitter chatter about the airline to gauge feedback and tweak its offering.
The "4320 LA" campaign is also aimed at highlighting the accessibility and affordability of Los Angeles as a three day long weekend holiday. According to recent research^, Australian's are still eager to travel overseas but concerns about job security means they are reluctant to take extended leave so prefer shorter getaways.
Traditionally, the United States hasn't been a front runner for Australians taking short breaks due to the prohibitive cost of getting there. The launch of V Australia has inspired fares never seen before on the trans-Pacific route and made it as affordable as a weekend in Broome or the Barrier Reef.
Research^ has also indicated that other barriers to travel to the U.S have been the perception that you require too much leave time or that it takes a long time to get there.
Michelle Lee added, "The reality is, Los Angeles is easily within reach and a short break market. You can leave home on Friday, spend three days star spotting in Hollywood, hanging out at the beach in Santa Monica and checking out the LA nightlife before sleeping all the way home."
The 4320 minutes in LA campaign will include on air challenges for entrants with the winning team of three "V Tweeters" taking up the challenge and departing for LA on the 21 July. If they complete the challenge, they each receive a "Round the World" ticket with V Australia and Virgin Atlantic as a prize.
V Australia fares from Australia to Los Angeles start from $995* return per person. Blue Holidays has also launched three days in LA packages from $1199** per person including return flights and three nights accommodation.
* Departing Sydney to LA, prices based on per person. Seats are limited and may not be available at peak times or on all flights. On sale until midnight 20 July 2009 for travel up until 30 November 2009 ** Package price is per person twin share and is correct as at 30 June 2009. Packages on sale until 31 July 2009 for travel from 26 July 2009 until 30 November 2009.
^ Colmar Brunton Travel Research, November 2008

About biographical information
Sum any set of rows by clicking anywhere (not red or blue) on the
first and last rows of your selection. We will then compute the
totals for the player between and including those two seasons.
Default Setting for this feature: Turn On / Turn Off
Summation of season totals only works for the initial case when the table is in year order. On a sorted table the results may get a bit goofy.
HIGHLIGHTING: Adding a range or series of player's career seasons or career game numbers (like '#1972:batting_standard', '#1970-1980-sum:batting_standard', or '#1998,1999,2001,2002,sum:pitching_standard') onto the end of a player page url causes the seasons to the highlighted and summed. After changing address bar, reload the page to see highlighting. This will work even in links e-mailed to others. Note that for tables with multiple pages the first table is the default. If you want to create a sum for a table other than the first one, select the rows and after the summation window appears click on "permanent link" link.

Author of Ed Engoron's Choclatique, Running Press, 2011
On Tuesday, September 27th, Choclatique—150 Simply Elegant Desserts finally arrived at bookstores and websites around the world. Yes, I did say around the world. I found Choclatique (The Book) online in England, Gemany, Sweden, Spain, France, Italy, Japan and China. After three years of hard work that was really rewarding. Even more rewarding are the comments that we continually get about Choclatique Chocolate.
Chocolate has always been popular, but now chocolate has knocked out coffee as the top specialty food purchase reported by consumers, according to a new report from the National Association for the Specialty Food Trade (NASFT). Or as Sally Field might say, "They love me! They really love me!"
At the 5th Annual International Chocolate Salon held in Los Angeles last week, Choclatique was named The Most Gifted Chocolatier and Chocolate Maker for the second year in a row. We sampled a variety of our newest truffles including Chocolate Martini from our new Retro Cocktail Collection, Dark Chocolate Sprinkles from our Designer Donut Collection. We treated guests to our Estate Chardonnay truffles from our Napa Valley Wine Chocolates, and some delightful Halloween ghosts from the Boo Box. Some of the most talked about confections at the show were our signature Dark Chocolate Caramel in Dark Chocolate and our most popular, best-selling Bubbly—Choclatique's Champagne Truffle.
The growing popularity of gourmet chocolate comes as no surprise to me. The continued growth of well-made artisan chocolate has been steady even during difficult economic times.
Great economic challenges can be turned into big opportunities with products like artisanal chocolate, designer cheeses and creative condiments that have all become an integral part of the American culinary landscape. The exciting part is that today American artisan chocolatiers now rival the best of what Europe has to offer and it is exciting to see chocolate pushed to the top of the list ahead of coffee.
Seven years ago, Joan and I began the development of the Choclatique assortments; our only thought in mind was making the best damn chocolate in America. Our efforts have been rewarded with over 40 international awards. Last week not only were we named The Most Gifted Chocolatier, but we also received awards in the following categories:
- Most Luxurious Chocolate Experience
- Best Presentation & Packaging
- Best Gift Set
- Top Artisan Chocolatier
- Most Artistic Designs
- Best in Salon
- Top Toffee in Salon
- Best Milk Chocolate
- Best Dark Chocolate Bar
- Best Comfort Chocolate
Choclatique's Chocolate Studios are located in West Los Angeles near the beach city of Santa Monica. We are a 7-year-old company selling chocolate online at www.Choclatique.com, Amazon and upscale retailers across the United States.
Remember to watch for ChocolateDoctor sightings (that's me) in your area, as I am invited to appear on TV programs around the country to talk about chocolate, and be sure to check out Choclatique—150 Simply Elegant Desserts found in bookstores around the world, Amazon, Walmart, Target and of course our website at www.Choclatique.com.

cute style but awkward fit
"I love how this looked but when I received it and tried it on, it fit awkwardly. It fit much more tightly than I thought it would and ran narrow. I have a slightly wider foot and ordered 2 sizes but even the larger size was too snug. It's too bad because I liked this shoe a lot!"

super cute
"These shoes were super cute, but not very comfortable. Perhaps because the middle strap didnt provide much support."

BLM's employees should be aware that it is important to avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest in our daily dealings with our partners. The goal is to separate partnership efforts enough from other business processes that a conflict of interest is avoided. It should never appear that the partnership relationship gives either party inappropriate benefit.
Conflict of interest guidelines are applied through regulatory restrictions and criminal statutes. These guidelines protect employees from the appearance of a conflict of interest or impropriety. Be aware that as employees work closely with partners over a long period of time, there is a real risk that the close relationship could be construed as conflict of interest.
|DO have a written partnership agreement. Set forth objectives of the partnership, expected benefits to the Department's programs, policy on endorsements and advertising and the responsibilities of each partner.
|Partnerships are fluid. An agreement puts down on paper the expectations of the partnership and each partner's contributions. Having a written agreement also gives documentation of the effort of the employee that is dedicating time and resources to managing and nurturing the partnership. A partnership agreement can be a useful tool for gauging changes in the relationship over time – how far have the results of the current partnership changed from the original intent?
|DO have employees who are officers in partner organizations recuse (disqualify) themselves from any involvement as a federal employee in particular matters in which that partner organization has a financial interest.
|18 U.S.C. 208 requires employees to refrain from working on particular matters when the employee is serving as an officer in a private organization when that organization has a financial interest in the particular matters. The term organization includes academic, non-profit, tax exempt as well as profit making organizations. Officer means President, Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Trustee, Director, Ex-Officio officers or directors and any other position with a fiduciary duty to the organization.
|EXAMPLE: An employee who is an officer in a private society that wishes to swap land with the Federal Government, may not work on the land swap issue in his or her Federal employment capacity at a time when he or she is an officer in the outside organization that has a financial interest in the matter.
|DO authorize official time for employees to work on the joint effort for which the partnership was established.
|18 U.S.C. 205 – Federal employees may not represent anyone other than the United States before a Federal agency or court in connection with a particular matter in which the U.S. is a party or has a direct and substantial interest. Represent means any type of contact, even a telephone call, if the contact is made with intent to influence the agency or court on a particular matter.
When official time is granted to an employee for service in a private sector organization, especially service as an officer, the primary beneficiary must be the programs and operations of the Department.
|EXAMPLE: This law prohibits a federal employee who is on his or her own time from representing a non-profit, tax-exempt organization before any Federal agency in an attempt to influence the employees of that agency on some issue pending before them. It makes no difference what position is taken. However, if the employee was working under an approved partnership agreement as a part of his or her duties, he or she would be representing the U.S. and there would be no violation of this statute. In addition, an employee may be allowed to attend outside functions, such as conventions or meetings, when it is in the best interest of the government.
|DO create mutually beneficial partnerships with others whose missions may vary from ours, as long as they are not in conflict with our land and service ethics or civil rights policies.
|Sec. 307 (a) [43 U.S.C. 1737] FLPMA states "The Secretary may conduct investigations, studies, and experiments, on his own initiative or in cooperation with others, involving the management, protection, development, acquisition, and conveying of the public lands." Sec. 307 (b) [43 U.S.C. 1737] FLPMA states "Subject to the provisions of applicable law, the Secretary may enter into contracts and cooperative agreements involving the management, protection, development, and sale of public lands."
|EXAMPLE: We can create a cooperative agreement with an automobile manufacturer, grocery store chain, or elementary school that does business with the agency in a way that does not conflict with our ethics.
|DO talk to representatives of organizations about sharing resources, including money, where we are likely to consummate an appropriate cost-sharing agreement.
|Sec. 307 (c) [43 U.S.C. 1737 (c)] FLPMA "Authorizes the Secretary to accept contributions or donations of money, services, and property for the management, protection, development, acquisition, and conveying of public lands."
|DO allow employees to assist a community partner in writing a grant proposal to the BLM, as long as that employee is not part of the grant review or decision process.
|When official time is granted to you for service in a private sector organization the primary beneficiary must be the programs and operations of the Department.
|DON'T endorse the products or services of the partner organization in your official capacity.
|5 CFR 2635 – Federal employees may not endorse the products or services of private organizations nor may private organizations use appropriated funds to advertise. Such activities may result in the misuse of public office for private gain. The provision on private gain refers to anyone's private gain NOT just the Federal employee's private gain.
|EXAMPLE: Interior employees may, however, provide endorsement or support for charitable and other fundraising activities administered by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) under its delegation from the President; and to those other programs authorized by the Secretary of the Interior. You may endorse any outside program in your private capacity, however, your endorsement may not make reference to your official title or position within the Department.
|DON'T solicit funds or donations for your programs from partner organizations without specific statutory authority to solicit and to accept donations and gifts.
|Congress has authorized some of the Department's constituent agencies - - such as the National Park Service (NPS), The Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) - - to accept donations, either to further the mission of the agency generally or for more limited purposes. Congress has not expressly provided these agencies with the authority to solicit gifts. Absent such additional authority, the agencies' role with respect to donations is generally restricted to educating the public about the existence of the gift acceptance authority and the specific gift needs of the bureau. (DOI Donation Activity Guidelines, 1996)
For Department employees, fundraising in an official capacity may be permitted only if the charitable organization is approved by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).
|EXAMPLE: The most highly visible charitable organization sanctioned by OPM is the Combined Federal Campaign. You may engage in fundraising activities as a private citizen, provided you do not use your official title or position to further the fundraising event.
|DON'T create an organization to do what your own agency cannot do and then enter into a partnership with it.
|Under 31 U.S.C. 9102, an agency may establish or acquire a corporation to act as an agency only by or under a law of the United States specifically authorizing the action.
|DON'T accept any compensation other than your federal salary for official duty services you provide to partner organizations unless that compensation is from a Federal agency.
|18 U.S.C. 209 is a criminal statute that prohibits dual compensation for services provided by Federal employees. In other words, only the United States can pay you for work that you do as a Federal employee.
|EXAMPLE: Employees may accept meals and unsolicited gifts have an aggregate market value of $20 or less per occasion, provided that the aggregate market value of individual gifts received from any one person under the authority of 5 CFR 2635.204 does not exceed $50 in a calendar year.
|DON'T use appropriated money to pay for lobbying activities to be performed by a partner.
|18 U.S.C. 1913. This criminal statute prohibits the use of appropriated funds to lobby Congress except through established official Federal agency channels and the procedures sanctioned by the Office of Management and Budget.
|DON'T control or assume any measure of practical responsibility for the fund raising activities of private individuals or organizations that are partners.
|Executive Order 12674, which does not carry criminal penalties, prohibits employees from fund raising by provisions that prohibit any actions that result in or create the appearance of: Using public office for private gain (meaning anyone's private gain), or losing independence or impartiality or affecting adversely the confidence of the public in the integrity of the Government.
|DON'T partner on a project that is in conflict with our stated ethics or civil rights policies.
|EXAMPLE: We cannot partner on a project with a party that is likely to result in long-term soil erosion or water quality degradation.
|DON'T partner on a project that might jeopardize the conservation of a threatened species on adjacent private lands.
|We cannot partner with anyone whose stated policy or mission is contrary to our ethics.
|DON'T partner on a project with an entity that discriminates based on race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, or marital or familial status.
|We cannot partner with anyone whose stated policy or mission is contrary to our ethics.
|DON'T give preferential treatment to any private organization or individual.
|Executive Order 12674, as modified by Executive Order 12731 outlines the principles of ethical conduct.
If an ethics issue or question arises when developing a partnership or working within a partnership, the employee should contact their local Assistant Ethics Counselor or call Teresa Milner, Assistant Ethics Counselor and Employee Development, DOI/BLM at 303-236-3569. Her email address is: email@example.com.

Saarinen Executive Arm Chair by Knoll
4-Leg Wood Base
designed by Eero Saarinen
Introduced in 1957, the Saarinen Executive Chair hurled chair design decades forward, making the chairs fluid, sculptural forms. The Saarinen Executive Chair was one of the first chairs to make the comfort of the user its first priority. To accomplish that goal, the Saarinen Executive Conference Chair became the first chair shell to be made from fiberglass, a material easy to bend and easy to contour to the human form.
The Saarinen Executive Conference Chairs are available in a wide variety of forms and functions. Swiveling chairs, differently upholstered, armless, etc. Saarinen broke sculptural and philosophical ground when he created the Saarinen Executive Conference Chair, and now you can be the owner of one of the finest chairs ever built. The Saarinen Executive Conference Chair is right for offices, libraries, cafes, and more.
Customer's own material may be used upon approval.

Knoll was well known for utilizing European talent, and many items in their furniture collection were designed by Scandinavians. Eero Saarinen, originally from Finland, would become one of the most renowned designers of the mid-twentieth century. After studying architecture at Yale, Saarinen collaborated with contemporary Charles Eames and designed numerous furniture classics and buildings that would help define American style and aesthetics.
Saarinen's most famous works in the Knoll collection are the Womb Chair and Tulip Chair, but he also designed a series of dining and side tables as well as office-oriented chairs. His architectural achievements include the Gateway Arch in St. Louis and the Dulles Airport in Washington DC.

Designed to teach international style target archery in physical education class fourth-12th grades, core content covers archery history, safety, technique, equipment, mental concentration, core strengthening physical fitness and self-improvement. Before presenting the archery course, teachers undergo an eight hour NASP Basic Archery Instructor Training Program.
Students shoot at 80 cm bulls-eye targets placed before an arrow curtain in their gymnasium. Equipment used is state-of-the art and designed to fit every student. Thanks to support from the archery industry, the $6,000 equipment 'kits' can be purchased by schools for $3,100 to $3,500 dependant upon which targets and bow hanging units are chosen.
One neat thing about NASP is it's an individual sport...if you're the best, you're the best. The state has an annual competition in Salt Lake City where teams can go to compete. There is also a national tournament in Kentucky each year that students who qualify can go to compete. There is also virtual tournaments they can participate in against any team in the USA.
There is testimonial after testimonial of the power of this program where students' lives have been changed through gaining higher self esteem, bringing grades up, attendance up, social skills improved. There is a coach at Thomas Jefferson Junior High in Kearns that has an autistic student in his group. This boy spoke very little, had poor grades, poor attendance. After being in the program, his mom came up to the coach in tears and thanked him. This boy is now talking, his grades are up, and his attendance is up and his self esteem is through the roof.
The only school sport safer than archery is table tennis. There has never been a serious injury in the history of NASP, training 8.8 million students so far.
A huge thank you goes out to Larry Davis, Garth Johnson, and Jim Jones for their willingness to allow this program to come into their schools.
Also thanks to Kevin Reynolds, Eric Mortensen, Ferd Allred, Kirk Robinson, and Jarett Gilbert for agreeing to become NASP coaches for their schools. They have all completed their eight hour training and are ready and excited to get the program started.
If you interested in learning more about NASP, visit the NASP website at nasparchery.com.
Thanks to Buckhorn Archers, SFW, and UDWR, and all other businesses and individuals who donated so generously to help get the money to be able to get this program in our schools.
There will be minimal costs to keep the program running, besides arrows, targets, etc., matching T-shirts, jackets for coaches, travel money, etc.
Any donations would be greatly appreciated. For more information please contact GayLee Jeffs at the Emery Recreation Center at 381-2108 and she can get you in touch with Buckhorn Archers.

The second volume of the acclaimed English edition of Miqra'ot Gedolot
The biblical commentaries known as Miqra'ot Gedolot have inspired and educated generations of Hebrew readers. With this edition, the voices of Rashi, Ibn Ezra, Nachmanides, Rashbam, and other medieval Bible commentators come alive once more, speaking in a contemporary English translation annotated and explicated for lay readers.
Each page of this second volume in The Commentators' Bible series contains several verses from the Book of Leviticus, surrounded by both the 1917 and 1985 JPS translations, and by new contemporary English translations of the major commentators. The book also includes an introduction, a glossary of terms, a list of names used in the text, notes on source texts, a special topics list, and resources for further study. This large-format volume is beautifully designed for easy navigation among the many elements on each page, including explanatory notes and selected additional comments from the works of Bekhor Shor, Hizkuni, Abarbanel, Sforno, Gersonides, and others.

Banned & challenged books
The ALA promotes the freedom to choose or the freedom to express one's opinions even if that opinion might be considered unorthodox or unpopular and stresses the importance of ensuring the availability of those viewpoints to all who wish to read them.
A challenge is an attempt to remove or restrict materials, based upon the objections of a person or group. A banning is the removal of those materials. Challenges do not simply involve a person expressing a point of view; rather, they are an attempt to remove material from the curriculum or library, thereby restricting the access of others. As such, they are a threat to freedom of speech and choice.
The ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom (OIF) promotes awareness of challenges to library materials and celebrates freedom of speech during Banned Books Week. This event is observed during the last week of September of each year. Banned Books Week 2013 will occur September 22 through 28. See Banned Books Week for information and resources for getting your library or organization involved in this event!
OIF compiles lists of challenged books as reported in the media and submitted to us by librarians and teachers across the country. For more about books challenged as well as information about classic novels that have been challenged and/or banned, please see Frequently Challenged Books.
OIF also offers support for librarians facing challenges to materials in their library. The support librarians seek will not be disclosed to any outside parties and the challenge report OIF receives is kept confidential. Please see Challenges to Library Materials for resources and information to help you prepare for and respond to challenges.
If you would like more information about banned and challenged books not covered in the website, please feel free to contact the Office for Intellectual Freedom at (800) 545-2433, ext. 4220, or firstname.lastname@example.com.
