The Emery School board met for their October meeting at Canyon View Junior High. Principal Jim Jones gave a report on the school. He mentioned all the staffing changes recently at the school. Peter Moulton-US History, Utah Studies, Spanish and honor society advisor; Dani McDermott-ninth and seventh grade language arts; Deana Jennings, CTE intro and computer technology; Rachelle Shannon, educational assistant; McKette Sitterud, educational assistant and Megan Durrant-Librarian.
Other teachers receiving new assignments this year include: Yvonne Jensen-ninth grade science and girls basketball coach; Andy Pollaehne-seventh grade math; Cassie Taylor-Remedial Math all grades; Ferd Allred-volleyball coach-Curt Collard-boys basketball coach.
Projects completed this year at Canyon View include a new classroom in the old greenhouse. A new computer lab; new lighting in the gym and weight room. Computers were added in the remedial math room, resource room and the new classroom.
Principal Jones said one of the focuses outlined in the school improvement plan is the increasing of writing by the students. Writing competency will be emphasized in all classes at the school. The direct writing assessment scores have gone from 82 percent in 2009 to 63 percent in 2011. Teachers have noticed a steady decline in the quality of writing assignments turned in by students. Principal Jones said a Deseret News article pointed out that only one/fourth of middle school age students write well.
Yvonne Jensen is taking an active role in helping the school raise the test scores for writing. "Students need to be proficient in writing to be successful in all subjects. Rose Card has come into our school to work with our faculty on improving writing in all areas of the students education. We are incorporating this into all of our classrooms. We are adding a writing component to science. The teachers are excited about learning strategies to help students become writers. Students are writing in their journals at school each day. We will keep this process going all through the school year. We are also working on character building and not cheating. We have the readers and writers club which encourages more writing projects," said Jensen.
Superintendent Kirk Sitterud asked for approval for Jeff Coombs as a bus driver and Lisa Hooley and Breezy McElprang as special education assistants.
The board approved the field trip and excursion mileage allotments.
The board approved a new policy JL1A which states students in timeout situations or detention must be supervised. The board approved a school trustland fund revision for San Rafael Junior High. The revision reinstates the homework class and a portion will go to audio books for classroom use.
Superintendent Sitterud reported that the schools must submit a school improvement plan and a staff development plan each year. They also need a reading plan at the elementary level and a child access routing plan for getting the children to school.
Superintendent Sitterud said the enrollment numbers keep changing, on Sept. 5 it showed the district was up 50 students. On Oct. 1 it showed the district was down 12 students. The SIS numbers on Oct. 1 said enrollment was up eight. Ferron Elementary has lost 40 students this past year, mainly due to the closing of the Consol mine. Twenty-three of those have been lost since Sept. 5. Enrollment is down 14 at Bookcliff Elementary and down 23 at Canyon View. The district has lost some students to the charter school. Cottonwood Elementary is up 22 students. "You could say we are holding even, although different schools are seeing dips or gains. LuAnn Sorensen has received an excellence in teaching award which will be presented at UEA," said Superintendent Sitterud.
The next school board meeting will be Nov. 7 at Cottonwood Elementary at 7 p.m.

Great shoes!
"I needed yellow shoes to go with a dress I bought, and purchased these as they were on sale. I was very pleasantly surprised at how comfortable they were. I can fit a 5.5 or a 6 size shoe depending on the shoe. I ordered this in a 6 and it fits perfectly, so if you are like me and can go between sizes I would order the higher of the two, but no more than that."

text: This might be an odd question and a little early to be asking but here it goes. DH and I have thought about things and have decided to try and have another. DS will be 2 in March and I was wondering how to prepare him besides having him help us shop and get the room ready. He's been an AP child from the start and has shown to be very good and easy going around other babies that we have visited.I figure talking about it would be good too, but I was wondering if anyone had any other advice as to what kind of things we could do to prepare him as much as possible.

This is a love story novel i started to write when i was at highschool. that explains my lousy grammars are on the early chapters. some of my plots lead to similar and familiar scenes that we sometimes encounter on our lives. i planned on making it as common as possible to get a lot of people to be able to relate on this story.
i hope you guys like it.

no mediafire... somehow it dont work for some reason
my story begins with a guy named Christopher Larcon or nicknamed Chito. He is a guy who is always find himself in trouble in various cases. He is also a leader of a gang in his hometown. not literally a gangster who does bad deeds, but a kind misunderstood rebel guy who is raised in a political family.
he is famous in the Balthazar street for his title as the Master Chito.also known for his wide range of talents and influence on the street.
the guy once thought that he can gain anything and everything
if he puts his mind into it. He thinks that there is nothing else that he can't gain or do but one day he met up with Ziela Mae who is a manhater girl
she didnt like any guy getting close to her
one day a group of guys in the street grow interest to that cute girl who hates guys. They see it as a challenge so they decided to make a bet on the first person who can make friends with her. the winner will get the pot of money gathered from the participants. Chito also heard that bet. at first he has no intention of participating in that stupid contest. but being mocked and ridiculed that he can't, he later decided to join.
so far not one guy got even close to ziela or even have a decent conversation with her. everyone decided to quit after trying so many times. even Chito is starting to lose hope as well.
Chito went outside because he gotten pretty annoyed of the coldness of Ziela. He sat down on a hamburger stand and started to hear a rumor from the two old ladies there. The old ladies are saying that Ziela was previously raped on her former town. the girl had a traumatic experience so she left the town she previously lived. the poor girl tried to sue the guy but they miserably lost to them. because the guy is too powerful to be defeated by just them.
Chito feel sad for the poor girl. so he then decided to continue even it would be a headache for him. he finds himself trying to make friends with that girl because of that rumor. at first Chito was only doing it to make her believe that guys like him are not that all bad. but in time, Chito slowly falls in love with that girl.
But Ziela became upset when he got to know about Chito. about who he is and what he is capable of. Because he is a guy who can do anything he wants and get away with it. Ziela got defensive and distanced herself from Chito as much as she can.
Chito can do it again and will never be punished for what he does. Chito has a relative who is a judge. Chito has friends in high places. For her Chito is the most dangerous guy in her eyes. Ziela's body still remember her suffering. But Chito is not like that. He is willing to change and accept her no matter what happened to her.
Now the problem is how will he convince Ziela that he can change? how will he make Ziela believes that his feelings are true
time will tell on my novel The Same people yet different

Virus Built Batteries? MIT Advances Bio-Industrial Manufacturing Technique to Assemble Electrodes
April 12 2009 / by Garry Golden / In association with Future Blogger.net
Category: Energy Year: General Rating: 4 Hot
MIT's Biomolecular Materials Group has advanced a technique of using 'genetically engineered viruses that first coat themselves with iron phosphate, then grab hold of carbon nanotubes to create a network of highly conductive material.'
This advanced 'bio-industrial' manufacturing process, which uses biological agents to assemble molecules, could help to evolve key energy material components (e.g. cathodes, anodes, membranes) used in batteries, fuel cells, solar cells and organic electronics (e.g. OLEDs).
Professors Angela Belcher and Michael Strano led the breakthrough bio-engineering work which can now use bacteriophage 'to build both the positively and negatively charged ends of a lithium-ion battery.' While the prototype was based on a typical 'coin cell battery', the team believes it can be adapted for 'thin film' organic electronic applications.
Energy = Interactions
Energy and Materials Science is about manipulating the assembly and interaction of molecules like carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and metals.
Today we are at the beginning of new eras of nanoscale materials science and bio-industrial processes that are certain to change the cost and efficiency equations within alternative energy and biomaterials. And we have a lot to learn about molecular assembly from Mother Nature's genetically driven virus/bacteria and plants. After all, the energy released from breaking the carbon-hydrogen bonds of coal (ancient ferns) and oil (ancient diatoms) was originally assembled by biology (with some help from geological pressures!). So why not tap this bio-industrial potential for building future energy components?
Surface images of nanoparticles could advance energy systems
Carbon based hydrogen storage might be on the horizon
New hydrogen storage device lighter than lithium batteries
Hydrogen storage could support lithium ion batteries in electric vehicles

"Great height without a high heel! Ordered in two colors because the style is so versatile. As a 7.5 to 8 in peep toes, the 8 is almost too short, although an 8.5 would probably feel a little sloppy. For this last reason, I am giving a simple 4 star rating."

Curators' Statements
Stephen Althouse
Miami-Dade Cultural Center, Auditorium Gallery, Main Library, Miami, Florida
TOOLS and SHROUDS
Recent works by
June 18 – September 3, 2005
The majority of the exhibited images by Miami artist/photographer Stephen Althouse were created during his 2003-2004 residency in Belgium as the recipient of a Fulbright Research Fellowship to create new photographic-digital artwork. Hosted by the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Liège, Belgium as an artist-in-residence, he was awarded additional grants from Epson-Seiko Digital Printers and Hahnemühle Fine Art Papers of Germany.
As an adolescent growing up in the farmlands of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Stephen Althouse developed a deep appreciation for the honest, simple, and solid relationships formed between the working people and their land, their animals, their equipment, the seasons, and the passage of time. He also witnessed the economic uncertainties of the neighboring county as its steel and coal industry gradually weakened and died. He received Quaker schooling which encouraged the development of deep personal and private spirituality. Although he has lived in cosmopolitan Miami for almost 30 years and is involved in frequent international travel, the influences of his rural childhood continue to surface in his artwork.
While residing and creating art in Belgium, Althouse found that this was not only an experience in a different country, but for him it seemed like a revisit back to an earlier time period of his life. Living in a small town surrounded by farmland, and being close to an industrial steel manufacturing city in serious economic decline, Althouse was constantly reminded of his childhood. The similarities of the environment and the values and mannerisms of his Belgian acquaintances with those of his Pennsylvania upbringing are apparent influences upon the creation of his recent art. His fascination with tools and implements, and the patinas and textures which relate to their histories are evident throughout the works in this exhibition. Althouse's images involve mystery and spirituality through his usage of metaphoric symbols to create a poetic visual language which is not possible, nor intended to be interpreted literally. Latin phrases written in Braille deliberately add to the indecipherable quality of his work.
Althouse arranges personal symbolic objects into assemblages which visually express his ideas and emotions. He photographs his assemblages using view cameras which use 4x5, 5x7, and 8x10 inch film. After scanning his negatives, he digitally manipulates and adds subtle elements to the images before making a finished digital print. Having expertise in traditional darkroom printing, Althouse is now recognized in the field for his ability to produce exquisitely rich and highly stable large-scale black and white digital prints. Highly prized international corporate grants support the continued development of his fine art digital printing techniques.
Stephen Althouse is the Chair of the Department of Fine Arts at Barry University in Miami where he holds a faculty position as Professor of Photography, and was awarded a sabbatical leave by the University in support of his Fulbright Grant. His artwork has been acquisitioned into major museum collections in North America, South America, and Europe

|In response to Re: Toilet Rough-In Clarification
why not just use a 10" rough-in configuration? actually, i'm posting this follow-up after searching for some advice myself. anyone know of any manufacturers that make a less than 10" rough-in configuration? my builder really got me with my basement, having plumbed my drain a mere 12" from other plumbing. after putting in a minimum wall, i'm left with 9" to place the toilet.
: : Many toilets will work with less than twelve inches. The best thing for you, if it's
: : : Oohh boy. Looks like I might have a 1/2" problem (don't know why I didn't think about this before...).
: : : Is there usually an allowance in this 12" standard or is 12" the absolute minimum?
: : :
: : : : : Just to clarify...
: : : : : When everyone talks about a 12" rough-in for a toilet drain, are we talking about 12" from the centre of the drain to the studs, or to the finished wall (i.e. drywall). I know it's only 1/2" or so, but that could make all the difference...

It is good to see how the Thriller Bark arc will be animated, especially how Brooke's voice will be.
It's just the Metroid series remade for the Xbox crowd.
However Samus Aran is now some unknown low ranking military personal.
Also the space pirates worship some giant doomsday hula hoop machine.

Karakuri Circus, Mx0, Red River, Rosario+Vampire, One Piece

the water 7 filler will be over, then they'll do something with thousand sunny, then thriller bark. but if i am wrong they will be very very close to the manga... which may also means they will have more "breaks"
edit: i am willing to watch this fillers though, op fillers > bleach and naruto imo..

So unlike some CERTAIN other series, they decided to put non-filler stuff inside filler stuff. Interesting.
Anyhow, it's impossible at this point to have a non-filler arc afterward. One Piece anime is way way too close to Thriller Bark arc. Toei has to air more fillers or face death. The best way to avoid a series of fillers is to animate the mini-arcs. I am curious as to see as to what action will Toei Production commit.
They'll probably air more fillers or, if we're lucky, animate Eneru's title page mini-arc.
I suspect at least a full season of filler before we see Thriller Bark animated. And some more filler afterwards.
At AX, Uda-san said there were going to be roughly 12-16 filler episodes before Thriller Bark starts... so yeah, a full season.

Kellyb33 does that on every auction. She starts it without pictures (deadlinks) and adds them after a few days.
Her last set ended with no photos and no response to the request (though she had done so in the past). She is one of my favorites but she certainly does it as a hobby.

A bridge towards peace; the will of fire still endures!
Rokudaime Hokage, Rokudaime Rikudou Sennin Uzumaki Naruto
Great chapter! A few questions though:
- Is Madara an edo or not? I don't see any cracks on his face or anything. Did he actually revive himself?
- Is Tobi planning to summon the ten tails yet? If so, there's a high chance Gedo Mazo actually IS the ten tails. As predicted
- Seems as though Madara was planning on taking the kyubi.
- What did Sasuke mean by "Talking to orochimaru" or "the one who knows everything"?
Also, this chapter was amazingly drawn!
Edit: Did Sasuke emply that Tobi is Orochimaru?? Whaaaat?? Is that possible? Hmm, Itachi said that Tobi is shell of his former self. The exact same thing was also said about Orochimaru as well..
Last edited by Kenny Bones; 07-04-2012 at 08:25 AM.
But that doesn't really make sense at all if Tobi is Orochimaru. Because, Orochimaru wanted the sharingan so bad in part 1, and if he's Tobi somehow, that means he had it? Perhaps Tobi was created when Orochimaru made himself into a snake? Naw, that's just speculating really.
Edit: Tobi cannot possibly be Orochimaru. Because Tobi didn't know edo tensei. And Orochimaru clearly did.
Looks like that one tentacle and the brothers are enough to complete the 10-tails... anyway the tentacle was a clone anyway so it probably posses about 10% of 8-tails.
It's not like he needs to kill them anyway, as long as his plan is complete, he will win.
That chick that lies there, still has a cursed seal, in other words part of Oro's true essence is still sleeping there. He is going to enter her entity to search for Oro and ask him questions, or so it seams from this translation.
Funny enough, Shisui is the only Uchiha with a leaf headband , by just that you can clearly see on whose side they were ;P (beside Itachi, Shisui and Sasuke).
Yeah, that must be it. Orochimaru is still inside that cursed seal. That's why Kabuto even wanted Anko. Glad that's cleared up! Anyway, the cracks in Madara's face, or rather the lack of them, could just be that he's a complete Edo now. Remember when Oro revided the 1st and 2nd Hokage? Same thing happened there. They had cracks on their face, but when he completed them, their skin got all smooth.
And yeah, Tobi is going to revive the ten tails now I'm dying to see if it actually IS Gedo Mazo. Atleast I'm thinking Gedo Mazo is the physical form that he's going to summon it into atleast.
My god, EPIC chapter! Things keep getting better. Not only do we get a teaser from the Tobi fight (and the JUUBI'S REVIVAL), but we're already seeing Sasuke meet up with his old pals? And a return of Orochimaru, that's PERFECT! I wonder what Kabuto will think of that whenever he wakes up from his Izanami.
It sounds as if Sasuke will have to visit Orochimaru in his internal dimension once again, unless Oro has actually been hanging out somewhere in a physical body. There may even be another fight between them, although Sasuke defeated Oro's shenanigans last time with regular Sharingan.
I was also wondering about Madara. Last chapter he bragged about the advantages of being a free Edo Tensei, so I think he still is one, but he DOES look quite... lively. Tsuchikage is so heroic, it's a shame that there's absolutely no way the Kages can win. Hopefully Sasuke can figure out something from Orochimaru and actually stop Madara.
It seems like all the stops are being pulled at this point... why is Tobi going all-out against Naruto, whom he claims is merely a pawn to stimulate Sasuke, without even giving the duo a chance to fight? I thought Tobi would have done something to end this battle a long time ago... and is Gedo Mazou actually being pushed back by just the Hachibi and a few Shinobi? It seems like it should be a lot tougher than that.
Naruto's taunts are pure epic! He's definitely upped his Badassery since meeting with the Bijuu, now he just needs to re-enter his Bijuu Mode (or combine it with Sage Mode) to really show us what he can do. Not that it's a big deal, but I miss seeing Kurama talk to Naruto! Hopefully next time we return to the Tobi fight, Naruto and Kurama converse a bit... here's to praying that it's next chapter!
Also, anyone wondering if the Nine Names might give Naruto something to counter the Juubi itself?
I'm pretty sure Madara is still an edo. He's just a complete edo now, just like the 1st and 2nd Hokage was when Orochimaru summoned them. The only way to defeat Madara now is to seal him. And who's gonna do that? Sasuke I guess, given that he now has the Totsuka sword and Yata mirror from Itachi.
so madara's has used the complete susanoo before. that should imply that it is used by EMS users, and not by rennigan, but i guess it is always better to let kishi state it as such, wouldn't surprise me if he somehow turned it around.
i can't recall itachi, or kabuto, or white-zetsu telling sasuke of edo-madara, so sasuke not acting surprised when informed by juugo of the madara's edo-tensei, would suggest that sasuke is suspicious of tobi's real identity.
and sasuke finally having second thoughts on his path, and remembering itachi, and shisui, looks like the ground work has been set for sasuke's redemption
no matter how much you dislike him, orochimaru's importance has grown exponentially since he was trapped in the eternal genjustsu by itachi.
"the one of knows everything" sould logically mean tobi, but sasuke mentioning orochimaru in the same context does make Kenny Bones's post, about the two being the same, interesting.
kishi really threw us an awesome chapter
The lack of cracks on Madaras face are definetaly not from cleaning the raw. Normally, cleaning a small drawing could end up the way that some parts of the drawing are deleted in the process, but notice that Madaras face on a big 2 page spread is still without any cracks, meaning that it is intentional - and further meaning that Madara could very well be revived permanently with the benefits of Edo Tensei infinite chakra and restoration. Unfortunately, Madara is the last person you wanna have in that state, plus Tobi is also gonna revive the Ten Tails .. let the carnage begin !

Fernando and Debbie Salazar know a bit about maximizing home entertainment. They also know a bit about simplifying life.
The two have spent the past dozen years working alongside architects, interior designers and custom builders to help deliver the perfect, custom home entertainment experience — all at the touch of the homeowner's fingers.
The couple, who got their entrepreneurial start in Miami, are new to Highlands Ranch, as is their latest venture, i-Homeconnect. As technology has evolved through the years, so has their business.
Specializing in bringing their clients music, television and ultimate control of everything from lighting to climate in a concealed, wireless fashion, the Salazars are big on what you can't see — from a hidden TV to a bamboo speaker that blends in with the aesthetics of the room.
"It's all about designing, cleaning things up, making your home so that you can walk into it and it's not all full of electronics but it does everything you need it to do," said Debbie Salazar. "You have the music, you have the TV, and you don't have to point a remote at anything. You can simply take an iPad and turn everything on or off."
"The industry has changed a lot," Fernando Salazar added. "It used to be typically represented by the fact you had a controller in your hand that was geared to TV and music. Then over the years, they started adding stuff like thermostats and lights, pretty much point and shoot type stuff. In the last couple years, iPhones and iPads have just opened up the market entirely, because it's all wireless now and everything is media-based. You can stream unlimited content into your home."
As opposed to a remote that cost upward of $7,000 to run a complete home entertainment system a decade ago, now it's one simple downloaded app on an iPhone or iPad that can introduce a person to their entire iTunes library, boost your thermostat while you are on the way home from work or lower your shades when the sun goes down — even if you are in a different state.
Everything is run from a rack-shaped server that can hide away easily in a basement or utility closet, eliminating the visual presence of mass electronics. With new construction, the Salazars like to do a consultation in advance of the master plan's completion to come up with the perfect location for the server as well as to implement speakers into the walls and ceiling and decrease wiring related to thermostats and lights.
For more information, visit www.i-homeconnect.com or call 303-214-8045. The business is located at 9337 Commerce Center, C-2, in Highlands Ranch, in the same space as Décor and You.
The Salazars offer free lunch-and-learn seminars for architectural firms, interior designers and custom builders. They also offer free consultations to interested clients.

MOOREVILLE – Josh Johnson has a few scholarship offers to play community college football, but the Mooreville running back/wide receiver wants more.
He'll get an opportunity to perform in front of NCAA Division I coaches this week when he plays in the National Underclassman Combine's North-South All-Star Football Game, scheduled for Saturday night in Myrtle Beach, S.C.
"This is a great opportunity for me," Johnson said. "I'm going out there to give it my all. I wanted the exposure and I'd like to receive a (D-I) scholarship."
Johnson is one of four Mississippi athletes selected to play. He'll be joined by fellow Northeast Mississippi players Devin Elliott, a wide receiver from Okolona, and Willis Morton, an offensive lineman from Nettleton. Natchez defensive back Amos James was also selected to participate.
Johnson compiled 1,002 yards rushing and receiving with 13 touchdowns this past season for the Troopers. His junior year, he rushed for 1,407 yards and scored 22 TDs.
"We moved him around this year because everybody knew about him," Mooreville coach Kevin Austin said. "We played him at slot receiver and on defense. That knocked down his rushing yards."
Johnson still managed to rush for 802 yards and score 11 TDs this season.
"He has worked hard. I hope he gets an opportunity to play at the next level," Austin said. "He's a good kid. We're glad he played for Mooreville."
Two 50-player rosters from the North and South were selected for this week's game. Two years ago, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny "Football" Manziel of Texas A&M played in the National Underclassman Combine game.

Picasso Tandem Thunder Spinnerbait
The Picasso Tandem Thunder Spinnerbait provides a good balance of flash and vibration that allows the bait to track very true. The rear turtle shell-shaped blade loads the rod just enough to stay in touch with the bait without too much torque. This provides no lateral roll on even the fastest retrieves, and also allows the blade to spin on the fall. It also uses Picasso's .032 diameter stainless wire to create a unique elliptical movement of the upper arm on retrieve. This flexible light wire allows the bait to "collapse" during strikes to insure proper hook set. Picasso also uses a grommet center skirt to insure the skirt will not pull down and continue to provide the ultimate in action. The long shank Mustad Ultra Point Hook penetrates fast and increases the hook-up percentage, eliminating the need for a trailer hook. It also provides the ideal barb size for keeping the fish on. The custom cup blades provide excellent vibration to stay in touch with the bait by loading the rod so that strikes are detected early for proper hook set. Also equipped with premium sampo swivels, the Picasso Tandem Thunder Spinnerbait is available in a variety of colors.

I use it under my eyes at night
I love all of the MyChelle products. I want ingredients that will feed my skin and not harm it. I love using this moisturizer under my eyes at night.
So glad iherb carries Mychelle
Posted by Reviewer2385599 on Feb 26, 2009
I love all the products and will not be without this day/and night cream..It is very hydrating to my skin in this area we have very dry air and this helps repair and prevent further damage.
doesn't feel greasy
Posted by Reviewer2807496 on Mar 24, 2009
My sensitive skin hates to feel as if it can't breathe. This cream absorbs and leaves no discomfort.

MyChelle WORKS!!
Posted by Reviewer2782741 on Jul 26, 2011
I have been using MyChelle's Deep Repair Cream for about 2 years and I love it. It really works to diminish lines, wrinkles and even discolorations on my face. I switch between MyChelle's Pumpkin Renew Cream and the Deep Repair Cream for night time moisturizing. My skin is also extremely sensitive, so it's great that they both come unscented for sensitive skin. I have yet to find beauty products that work as consistently and as well as MyChelle.
It's perfect!
Posted by Reviewer1234260 on Apr 12, 2011
I'd like to sing odes, because this cream save my skin from every damage, irritation or something else. It's light and gentle, but it doesn't suit for day.
Good moisturizer with some buts....
Posted by Reviewer1777787 on May 21, 2010
I really like this product, but I dislike the separation that happens between the oil and the cream. It needs mixing every time I use it.
very good
Posted by Reviewer3359533 on Feb 04, 2010
I've used MyChelle for several years now. Reasonably priced and I've never become allergic to the products despite continued use.
Not impressed
Posted by Reviewer3333017 on Feb 07, 2011
Been using this for 2 - 3 weeks. Doesn't seem to do much of anything for my 53 year old skin. I'm disappointed - I wanted to like it, but would not purchase again.

Posted by Reviewer2740089 on Aug 27, 2010
The Deep Repair Cream is the BEST EVER! REALLY! I use it on my face, around my eyes and on the back of my hands. Amazing results in about two weeks. California weather is dry and can affect skin. This cream nourishes and moisturizes without any kind of a greasy feel. Soaks right into my skin and provides a dewy glow! I will always use this, although a little pricey...HEY, I am worth it!

Skip to comments.Senators near a deal on background checks for most private gun sales
Posted on 02/24/2013 4:24:50 PM PST by ConservativeInPA
A bipartisan group of senators is on the verge of a deal that would expand background checks to all private firearms sales with limited exemptions, but significant disagreements remain on the issue of keeping records of private gun sales, according to aides familiar with the talks.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
When will these F'ing idiots realize that criminals do not partake in background checks.
Keeping records? Sounds like registration.
Why is anyone in our government worried about this?
Our government is going bankrupt.
Stop wasting your time on making government more invasive.
They will never understand and I will never comply
We have this in CA plus handgun & assault weapon registration. Next January, long guns will have to be regestered. You just can't have UBC's without some recordkeeping, which will lead to registration.
Some day in the future we will see confiscation (CA already had this happen on a limited basis).
Repubs who vote for this atrocity have to go, even if it means the seat goes Democrat.
Good luck with recording generational transfers.
Bob Owens blog:
BarackObama.com wants your gun violence stories. I told them about Buchenwald and the desires of the Weather Underground
And theOne really wants your stories on "gun violence" (minimum of 20 words):
I was thinking of telling the gun violence suffered by the poor people of the Branch Davidians, but I am open to other suggestions.
Another RINO sellout.
RINOs don't have a problem with big government.
They just resent not being in charge.
They know that democrats are getting the lion's share of the loot.
I agree. What's the point of voting for Republicans that side with democrats anyways. I'm suddenly not caring about the top marginal tax rate so much.
Idiots! Their concept of universal background checks will spike home invasions to steal weapons.
But they don't care. They can shut down sales by having the computer send back a denial to all inquiries. Then what happens? Remember is is a right, not a need!
I know that here in Alaska, if Begich votes for anything on the order of new gun control, he's history in 2014 and he knows it. His letter said no new gun control for him. just concentrate on the mentally ill getting guns.
RINOs out.
Nothing for any of them.
So after weeks of dining in DC's most sumptuous establishments, the suits have decided on what's good for the little people.
A$$hole senators... What else covers the topic?
It should be obvious that the NYC and SF elites such as Feinstein and Bloomberg with their millions and billions in wealth and private security want the average Americans disarmed, before they come for your pensions and property via eminent domain.
They want you Mr Average, to become the victim first if their reckless policies and the dollar fails, while they are very well protected and defended with your police and taxes.
I'm sick of NRA giving these slugs cover by endorsing them.
Our rat bastard GOP losers selling us out yet AGAIN.
I'm with you. It's none of their frigging business, andthey can all high dive to hell. I put more value on my liberty and privacy than I have respect, or even loyalty to my present squalid, corrupt, self-serving, rapacious, vulgar government. I'm developing an intense, visceral hatred for those bastards. I've lived my entire life obeying the law, and I've never robbed, raped or harmed a living soul, yet I'm feeling more and more like an outlaw in this land where I was born. I'm feeling more and more like the people Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn described as "rabbits," waiting for the NKVD "blue-caps" to come in the night. I don't want to live with a leftist "boot on my neck."
Good luck getting that pig to fly through the House.
I simply won't comply....period.
There are plenty of folks who will not comply as well.
I'm thinking that it has been watered down precisely for that reason.
Some arm twisting, POTUS phone calls to "moderate" republicans, bribes, extortion, etc, and it will probably breeze right through.
Then they can publicly congratulate themselves for passing "reasonable" measures, blah, blah, blah...
interesting links, thanks.
With the exception of Chuck-E-Cheese Schumer's statement, and Coburn's I dont negotiate through the press, attributable quotes seem to be few and far between. Also, "while a Flake spokeswoman said Saturday that he is still reviewing the proposal" doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement. Meanwhile, over on the House side, "Goodlatte added that any discussion of new gun laws should come only if the Obama administration steps up enforcement of current laws" doesn't sound like they're quite "near a deal", either. Wishful inside-the-beltway thinking by the WaPo?
Good luck enforcing it. Every gun I sell will magically be sold before the date the law goes into effect and the same with any guns I buy privately.
The time is coming when Americans are going to have to stand up and remind these two bit public servants that this is OUR country and the Bill or Rights belong to us. These low lifes cannot take away our freedoms.
In all the states we definitely need to push for restoring Eminent Domain to its original purpose of allowing hospitals, libraries and schools. I understand the property in that town in Conn. that sparked the Supreme Court case has still not been developed, but the homeowners were forced out of their property. A number of businesses in DC were EDed and the site sat empty for years. Finally it looks like a Walmart will go into that space. Once of six Walmarts planned for a city of 630,000. Overkill??

Then who, besides me and them, would ever know about it?
And how would they know about it?
(Yea, I have done all of those things in the past
and I will continue to do so in the future.)
FREEP this poll!
FREEP this poll:
And theOne really wants your stories on gun violence (minimum of 20 words):
So my Senator, Mark Kirk, is in on this. Unbelievable! But then, I knew he was a RINO when I voted for him instead of Alex Giannolous(sp?). And to think he was in the Naval Reserve and he does this crap.
On March 4th, I am attending the Lincoln Day dinner here outside of Chicago. The keynote speaker is Rand Paul with Kirk also speaking. Talk about two ends of the spectrum. This may turn out to be a very interesting night.
So how would have enhanced background checks and mandatory background checks on private sales prevented the Colorado or Sandy Hook shootings? All weapons used were obtained after background checks. Oh, wait....this has nothing to do with those gun crimes, but it is a part of the left-wings's long-time, scarcely concealed agenda — to create a national database of gun owners so that trouble makers can be dealt with at their leisure.
I hope that the proposed laws in Texas prevent any further erosion of gun rights.
Just make sure the guy isn't an FBI sting...
Perhaps we can tell them the story of how Democrats used gun control laws to keep blacks in the South from protecting themselves when the KKK came by for a hangin.
Universal background checks followed by universal registration followed by confiscation.
The `broken window' theory in practice. People will ignore it and respect for the rule of law generally will be further eroded, like our immigration laws and economic common sense in recent years.
Way to go critters. Another `F' grade for Congress.
Today we face the opposite and IMO the consequences will be even worse. We have major laws and the Constitution itself being ignored and violated by the highest offices in the land. You say my gun has an illegal cosmetic feature? I say "I'm not shipping crates of guns to ultra-violent drug cartels in Mexico."
A Bi-Partisan group of traitors disobeying their oath to support the Constitution.
You trust the House?
I don't.
I doin't trust any one of those on Capitol hill.
Followed by open warfare?
Are we close to holding a Constitutional Convention yet, or are people still worried that a Convention will take away their RKBA? For my part, we still have at least on peaceful option left and we are obligated to discuss it. And know that the more serious the discussion about a Convention becomes and the more people join in, the more frantic it will make the left. And keep in mind that whatever a Convention passes must also be ratified by a super-majority of the surviving states.
A convention could also address the other defects and weaknesses in the Constitution that allow an EPA that has run amok, has allowed the seizure of private property for the benefit of corporate interests (like the Kelo decision), has lead to regulatory tyranny like the raid on Gibson Guitars over the wood it imports, and the conviction of a sea food importer for the horrible crime of shipping lobsters in a styrofoam container rather than a cardboard one. More important, we could stop the federal government from placing us all in debt-serfdom through infinite money printing and perpetual debt. And last but not least is the outrage of ObamaCare. It is time to redefine the federal government. The only issue is if this will be a peaceaful or a bloody process.

I suggest that the Stupid A-Holes in DC simply make a trip to the nearest store in their home district that sells ammo. Look at the bare shelves, then ask the question, how do my constitutents feel about gun control.
Be forewarned, this is not a local issue. Nation wide the same thing has happened. It will not go away.
The MSM can forget this crap.....
POLs are all warned, we are watching and do not like what we see.
Boy, that will make my next biz venture quite lucrative....Teaching fellow Citizens how to mil their own gun parts, buy the rest and assemble them into whatever caliber they wish.
I will actively purchase a nice CNC mill, CAD the blueprints and pump out everything legally possible from blocks of nice, cheap aluminum. Hell, maybe even a 3D printer will work. ~$3k outlay for the CNC, I bet I could make my $ back in no time flat.
Come to Jax, FL and I will teach you how to use household tools to facilitate the assembly of any weapon you wish, no federal registration required.
"That Which Is Seen, and That Which Is Not Seen."
Search for: "The Broken Window"
Bastiat clearly understood before 1874 the consequences of socialism and part of that was the "Broken Window" concept.
Coburn: Senators still not close to deal on background checks http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/284557-coburn-senators-still-not-close-to-deal-on-background-checks#comment-811167327 Coburn warned that any talk of registering gun owners would doom the effort. There absolutely will not be record-keeping on legitimate, law-abiding gun-owners in this country, he said. And if they want to eliminate the benefits of actually trying to prevent the sales to people who are mentally ill and to criminals, all they have to do is create a record-keeping. And that will kill this bill. So if you really want to improve it, you have to eliminate the record-keeping.Of course, this doesnt mean that were out of the woods, we all still need to keep up the pressure on those traitorous jackals . Oh, did I say traitorous jackals? I really meant that they are back stabbing traitorous jackals yeah, thats it.
Shout Kirk down.

Did he say it like Chandler Bing ("Could you BE any blacker?") or like a Tim Gunn ("You're not black enough. Make-up! *snap.snap* We need some darkening over here!")?
Also, because I'm betting there's room for a second foot in his mouth and I could use a laugh, I would love to hear what he thinks "more black" looks like.ReplyCancel
Aisha Tyler- She was a recurring guest on Friends for quite a bit and their shows were the first to be "Super-sized".ReplyCancel
I personally like black. It's sleek looking. Don't really see what the big deal is if the person is black and they're wearing black.
I guess the same could go in reverse. Someone with super white, pale skin and a pale dress. if someone said…could you be any whiter? I wouldn't be insulted, it would actually be kinda funny. Or even if I had a sunburn and was wearing a red dress…and someone said "could you be any redder?" That's even funnier.ReplyCancel
@ crila I wouldnt be ofdended if anyone said that to me either– xould you be any whiter. But obviously our society has negative connotations asociated with dark skin. Every race has a favorable attitude against those who look less like their ethnicity and more white. Hispanic culture/ethnicity, asian ethnicity and african cultures all have the bias. The indian culture has a name for it and arent even allowed to marry outside theirsegment. Thats why I dont think someone would say it to her. Its an added insult I would think ..ReplyCancel
Well if that is how a character was written for a particular role in a particular movie or TV series? The producer could have used a different descriptor like can you be more ghetto oops sorry.
Because let's face it a lot of the dialogue in movies and TV is offensively or just stupidly stereotypical and not just for one particular race or ethnic group or sex. That is why I love the shows that have the kind of writing that is just the opposite or aims for it even if they don't hit the mark all the time. You know a gay man who is actually quite macho looking and does not talk like less flamboyant members of the gay community because they exist too.ReplyCancel
Well of course thats annoying and insulting but its show business and thats the insane shit they say. Coukd u look sexier? " im playing a woman who's husband and child just died!" Can you look taller or shorter or less jock or more jock or more feminine and less new york or less midwestern or more girll next doir thats a secret slut? And it seems to happen way more to women.ReplyCancel
Who has the balls to tell the boss to fuck off?
Would a fledgling actress respond this way?
Why would a veteran b asked to change it up?
No one in the middle would dare, IMO.
And like I always say if u r going to b in an occupation of your choosing isn't it best to do things (within reason) to keep working?
To Talks Too Much – why is this race baiting?ReplyCancel
I think I would be totally offended if some one asked me if I could be any whiter. I mean why not? Black people are offended when you call them black. I would think "could you be any whiter is like calling you a redneck or kkk. But I think this can be interpretted as a white perwon trying to be black a.k.a Miley or Bieber, in which case that could change the guesses dramatically…On a side note, when my son was born, my dads first words were "wow, he's really white" Im still not sure if that was an insult or out of surprise or what.ReplyCancel
Super Sized was the ad tag line for a certain night of primetime network shows. Like Super Sized Sunday or something. if you can figure out what shows, you can find the actress.ReplyCancel
Super sized Thursday was 30 Rock, Scrubs, The Office, and something called Andy Barker PIReplyCancel
So that makes me think Nicole Randall Johnson from MadTv and Andy Barker PI?ReplyCancel
