Skip to comments.Time to lay off Mitt bashing? Mitt, Bachmann and Palin are the only ones speaking up?
Posted on 04/20/2010 7:14:49 AM PDT by Cringing Negativism Network
Truth in advertising:
I've been an off and on, Mitt Romney supporter.
By and large, off. But I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Mitt deserves a second look.
What the GOP is lacking isn't so much principles or an agenda.
What the GOP lacks is anyone willing to stand up for anything.
Palin does, spectacularly.
In Massachusetts last go around, Brown did.
Bachmann sure does.
In Florida, Rubio takes no quarter. And it might be noted, Rubio is making noises to support Romney.
Romney's not perfect, but at least he stands up and pushes back.
More than perhaps anything, that is what the GOP needs most.
Maybe it's time to cut Romney some slack, and support him when he speaks up. Which he does more than some others in the GOP "leadership".
Just a thought.
Between MittCare and Myth staying in background and refusing to speak out on the issues ala Palin & Bachman, we don't need another wimpy RINO like Myth.
Sorry, I just cannot forgive MittCare, which laid the groundwork for Obamacare.
Im not a Romney supporter, and have never been....
If we bash each other like in the 2008 Primaries, then we will end up pointing fingers at each other again, and they will get reelected. It's ours to lose.
We must unify with each other and get behind someone. Romney is far from the top of my list, but I would take him over what we currently have.
The ball is really in our court.
Oh, definitely! I was just saying the other day that we needed more well-founded accusations of hypocrisy from the other side by having more socialists on our side of the aisle 'speak up' for us. We truly haven't had enough of those up until now.
Some serious questions:
1: What attracted you to Romney in the first place?
2: How do you feel when Romney "pushes back" but he said a 180 degree opposite opinion in the past?
3: How can Romney credibly "push back" when Obama's signature domestice policy achievement uses Romneycare as a template?
Second look at what a liberal. It is your choice.
RomneyCare = barryCare
No more damned liberal Republicans.
Palin and Bachman speak up on the basis of their principles. Myth speaks up because he wants the nomination and 0bama is unpopular.
Trying out the new fireproof suit today?
absolutely NOT.
In fact, I don't think we should give ANY of the has-beens from last election go round a second look. Bachmann, yes...the rest NO. We need a fresh start, with non-progressive Rhino candidates, like the Bachmann's and DeMint's out there, and in order to end up with conservative choices, what we need to do is find a way to get the dang GOP OUT OF THE WAY.
Mitt endorsed McCain. Bachmann declined to get involved in the AZ primary.
His business background. SLC Olympics.
And the fact he's been on the receiving end of quite the Alinsky treatment from the left, himself.
Mitt's a lot of things, but he does have spunk. He had a pretty good rant last week on one of the talk shows.
We need a bit more of that. If that's what Mitt's approach is gonna be, I'll support him.
Now if we could get Duncan Hunter back into the mix. :)
(either one of them)
And get the "mittens" to stop bashing Governor Palin, most of all.
do not confuse Bachman and Palin with Romney, or McCain.
Romney and McCain and Chameleon Newt are just jumping on a bandwagon they see as maybe feathering their nests and could really care less how they accomplish their power grab as long as they get their power grab.
I'll say this: John McCain was obviously a CFR setup for Barack Obama in 2008; but Mitt Romney, out of sheer mental superiority, would have torn a new you-know-what in BO in national debates. In no way did "they" want that.
We ARE being manipulated.
Mitt is a weak ass politician trying to use us and elevate his position for history.
He has no vision for America and never has.
He had one terrific speech and that was his concession speech.
Really? You have an opportunity to state your position, claim a vision and you give one fantastic speech?
Take a hike chump(Mitt). You had your chance to state your case and you glad handed your competitors, finding yourself in par agreement with the positions of everyone on the dias.
That is not a man of vision, conviction of purpose and passion.
You are just another politician jockying for historical relevance.
McCain is a slimy chump.
Please don't try that misrepresentation of what I'm saying.
Thanks. :)
That's the funniest thing I've read all day. Thanks for the laugh.
I have just one word for you:
Yes, Mtt does deserve a second look.
Partisans are often BLIND.
'm not happy with this health care bill in Mass.. I am also unhappy with Palin and her endorsing McPain. Mitt has learned from his mistake, but Palin insists on pushig RINO's - McPain. Palin is a Populist; not a Conservative but people are too dumb to see the difference.
I would vote for MItt as President and Palin as VP. The two would be good in getting this country on the RIGHT track.
Have a blast Mitt bashers. That's just the way it is for us.
I really hope we can get conservatives on the ballot.
Mitt ain't one.
Fresh one...? ;)
People like Myth Romney RINO progressives that they are are the reason we are in the place we are.
MITT needs to go, and now. He draws 50 people to his book signings.
For me, he has zero credibility even if I like what he says at a given moment because I am sure he said the exact opposite in the past.
Several observations on Romney. He has failed to lead. He has set back primarily and observed the battle against Health Care. He has not fully embraced the Tea Parties. He was responsible for a Health Care plan much like Obama's being put in place in Massachussetts. I just wish someone could show me how the man governed as a Conservative in Massachussetts. Also I don't believe his social conservatism. I believe he is clearly open to the same old soft Republican ideas that lost the GOP power. If the winds were to change would he stand against Cap and Trade? No he'd accept the premises of the left and we'd have a Republican version of a bill to stop Climate Change. We one the right need to stop hoping for an easy win. It isn't going to happen.
What we need is a candidate that at least can speak to the founding principles and stand up against the left no matter what is thrown at them. Sarah Palin is the only one who has done this. She is far from the perfect candidate but she is a fighter and she is one of us and it is about time someone who has actually worked in the private sector who has a history of standing up against the wind and someone who hasn't been brainwashed in ivy leage schools. Someone who hasn't hired illegal aliens (Mitt did).
Mitt if only he'd prove his alliegiances. Renounce Romneycare and really for once attack the left full on and stand his ground then maybe I'd believe his conversion but the way it stand John McCain is still more conservative than Mitt Romney.
How to get a 200+ post thread:
1. Suggest that Romney isn't all bad. Check
2. Short vanity. Check
3. Mention Palin in the title. Check
4. Ask a seemingly naive question. Check
5. Voice an opinion that is directly contrary to what JimRob has stated. Check
I don't think I am very interested in Mitt, but I sure could use a break from all of the bashing which is just tiresome and just doesn't contribute much to the forum.
He sure does! Why, I'm even warming to Barack Obama! I mean, when Romney endorses ObamaCare, it's time for me to rethink them both.
Heck, was communism really THAT bad? Maybe it will work this time!
Uh, Palin supports Juan McCain? WTF?
Romney can piss off.
Could it be the combination of Palin and Romney, would be... well, call it what you will.
But it sure beats wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.
Which is how we got in this mess!!
Anyone else thinking as an alternative maybe Palin / Rubio? Just saying.
True dat.
Support the architect of Obamacare? Hell no.
Your cartoon should be on billboards across the US.
He still supports HIS health care program in Mass., is a gun-grabber, and just a run-of-the-mill RINO on most other subjects.
Why would we take another look at the same old Romney?!?!? He is still a supporter of unconstitutional government. If he, or someone like him gets the nomination, we will see 4 more years of the Obamessiah.
Romney is a raging liberal!!! NO THANK YOU!!!
Careful. This isn't "Free" Republic. It's Mitt-Bashing Central. Tell them he uses Crest toothpaste and they'll tell you he should be using Colgate. I have problems with Mitt, particularly RomneyCare, but I don't despise the man as do so many here. Good luck.
Question: I'm beginning to wonder if maybe Mitt deserves a second look.
Answer: No.
Cut Mitt some slack?
I'd rather vote for Obama... at least he's honest about wanting to "fundamentally change America."
{IOW, Obama may be an open enemy, but that's better than someone who is just pretending to be a friend.}
Oh, come on. We have the Tea Party movement that has energized people nationwide, with a call for smaller and non-intrusive government, less taxation, and a resounding NO to national healthcare.
And you come up with this 'Well, gee, maybe we should reconsider one of our major RINOs'. Yeah, right. Dust off those brain molecules (or whatever) you haven't used for awhile, and realize what is going on here.
We're in the midst of a political revolution in this country. The people have had it, and they don't want anymore of the same-ol', same-ol'. They want change and that's reflected in Obama's unpopularity as well as Congress's. Do you really believe that a Romney, with his flip-flop baggage and his Mass. health care baggage, will be THE candidate of choice for Americans in 2012?
If so, I have a beautiful vacation spa I want to sell you on the cheap. Send me your email and I'll send the particulars. Pictures included. All for one low price...
"Hopefully someone will create a WAnkers for Romney forum like the WAnkers for Rudy did a couple of years ago, because FR will NOT be used to support him."

No more press conferences from U.S. cardinals in advance of the conclave. Their fellow princes of the church said they talked too much.
American cardinals in Rome for the lead-up to voting for the next pope are shutting off interviews now that some cardinals have been blabbing too much about secret discussions in advance of the super-secret conclave.
The daily news conference by U.S. leaders prompted concerns that they were influencing the advisory meetings, now underway. Wednesday, the day after the Associated Press reported this, the briefings were canceled.
In describing the scene Tuesday, the Associated Press reported that more than 100 journalists from the U.S., Britain and European countries packed "an auditorium for what has become the daily 'American Show' at the North American College, the U.S. seminary just up the hill from the Vatican."
However, the quotable U.S. prelates may not have been the source of leaks. The Italian paper La Stampa has reported details of comments individual cardinals made in the closed-door meetings-- a violation of their oath of secrecy, according to the Associated Press.
Sister Mary Ann Walsh, spokeswoman for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, said in an e-mail to USA TODAY that, "concern was expressed" in the daily meetings of the College of Cardinals "about leaks of confidential proceedings reported in Italian newspapers. As a precaution, the cardinals have agreed not to do interviews."
Walsh later told the AP: "I don't think anyone was angry at the Americans, they were angry at La Stampa." And she said, "In true old-style Catholic school teacher fashion, someone talks and everybody stays after school."
Vatican spokesman Rev. Frederico Lombardi said the Vatican did not intervene but that U.S. cardinals made the decision to stop press conferences after talking among themselves.
He said, "The cardinals journey toward conclave is not a convention or synod. It is a journey, that is above all a time of reflection for the College of Cardinals. The College has decided to maintain reserve over proceedings. But we are trying to give as much information as possible."
No date has been set for the conclave, where 115 cardinal electors will be cut off from any communications with the outside world.
At the morning Vatican press conference, Lombardi said there's no hidden meaning in the delay. They are waiting for two more electors -- cardinals under the age of 80 -- to reach Rome and they are in a "journey" of prayer and discernment, he said.
Meanwhile, representatives from the Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests (SNAP) called a news conference in Rome to announce a "dirty dozen" names of cardinals whose record on dealing with the abuse crisis should disqualify them for being elected to the papacy.
The list includes many of the names on media and betting sites' short lists for the next pope. David Clohessy, SNAP executive director, said they had the worst records "in terms of protecting kids, healing victims, and exposing corruption."
SNAP has also called for several cardinals to refrain from voting in the conclave.
Lombardi said the Vatican is "well aware" of the positions of SNAP, but added it is not up to SNAP to decide who should participate in the conclave.
Two U.S. cardinals discuss the time table of electing a new pope now that the papal seat is empty. VPC

Routine use is key to success with apps.
My favorite mobile app, the one I use every day, is called Who News. It's all the news you could possibly want about the long-running British sci-fi television series Doctor Who, which chronicles the adventures through time and space of a benevolent alien known only as the Doctor. What does this Whovian app have to do with Internet retailing, you ask? It's sticky.
Sticky is the lingo used by mobile tech folks for an app's ability to "stick to" a smartphone user's mobile desktop. So many apps are downloaded, used once or twice, and then deleted, or relegated to the third or fourth or fifth mobile desktop screen away from the home screen. Think of it like natural search results where every retailer wants to appear on the first page. In this case it's the home screen; if not the home screen, the closer you are the better.
So you want to do something that makes users routinely use your mobile app, and thus keep it on their home screen or close by. The Who News app succeeds with me because of content. The app, which costs $4.99 (but retailers, don't even think about charging for an app), aggregates the day's Doctor Who news from 25 top Doctor Who web sites and blogs and places it in chronological order on the app's home screen (see image on left). It boasts at least a dozen stories every day, sometimes many more. First comes a headline, then flick to a summary, and then press a button and it takes you to the complete story on the originating web site, all without leaving the app. It keeps me very informed and entertained.
You know what else it does? It helps sell DVDs. In the bar at the bottom of the screen is a button for DVDs; press that and off you go to a long, long list (the show aired from 1963-1989 and rebooted in 2005 to the present) of DVDs for sale. Press a DVD and the app displays a screen (see image on right) with product details and online retailers where the DVD can be purchased. You then click on the link to the web retailer's DVD page and get the episode of Doctor Who you'd like.
So there you have it. The stickiest app on my iPhone. The question is; What can you do to make your mobile app sticky. My best advice is think content, fresh content, and plenty of it. In Who News, content comes first (it's the home screen), selling second. You may need to integrate the two. One way or the other, just make sure it's sticky.
To learn how to create great retail mobile apps and wrap your arms around everything m-commerce, attend the Internet Retailer Mobile Commerce Forum Oct. 12-13 in Chicago. Hope to see you there.

My gardening roots are planted deeply in the sandy dirt of Florida. Learning how to take advantage of our year-round growing environment is more than just knowing which plants to plant where.
Before we try to design beautiful landscapes in our gardens, the wisest first step is to start with the dirt. Florida's sand doesn't have much water-holding power, which means it also dries out very quickly as water moves downward rapidly. Sandy soils are nearly void of the nutrients needed for healthy root growth. These sandy conditions only work well for a few flowering annuals and ornamental grasses suitable for beach environments. But for foundational shrubs and trees that will serve as the backbone of the home garden, better soil is well worth the effort it takes to build it.
Amending any soil type with organic matter (the remains of plants and animals), which in turn encourages a healthy ecosystem underground, has countless advantages. Beneficial, living organisms such as algae, earthworms, molds, fungi and insects will work tirelessly to convert nitrogen and other nutrients into available forms the plants can use.
Over time, the condition and structure of the soil will improve by providing better aeration which increases proper drainage. In general, the healthier the soil, the better the structural support for living soil-organisms - thus the breakdown of organic nutrients to feed healthy plant roots.
The simplest way to modify soil is by adding a layer of 2-3 inches of organic matter to landscaping beds prior to planting. Mix it in well with the existing soil. For existing or already established areas, work it in around the plants in the spring and fall. Well-aged bird and animal manures, blood meal, bone meal, fish meal/emulsion, homemade compost, shredded leaves and mushroom compost are all great sources for promoting healthy soil and vigorous plants.
Next time you think about purchasing pretty plants or planning your next planting bed, don't forget about the soil. The rewards for working from the ground up will inspire you on to that next great project and will bring you and your garden pleasure for years to come!

France 1839 – 1906
Still-life with onions
[Nature morte aux oignons] 1896-98
oil on canvas
canvas 66.0 (h) x 82.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Bequest of Auguste Pellerin 1929
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
By arranging a composition focusing on a wine bottle, a glass, an array of humble onions (a chief component of many Provençal peasant dishes), a knife to cut them with, and a simple white table cloth, Cézanne has created a celebration of simple country life in his beloved Aix-en-Provence. The table is from the artist's studio and is one which he frequently used for the base of his compositions. The furniture is cropped and set against a bare wall of daubed plaster, which also emphasises the scene's rustic air. Gone are the more elaborate earlier arrangements with ornamental drapes or statuettes previously favoured by Cézanne—Still-life with onions is a masterpiece of simplicity.
For Cézanne, the still-life genre was of paramount significance. He delighted in the depiction of objects as if they were living beings, and grappled with the pictorial problems of colour and space. In an account by Joachim Gasquet, Cézanne likened his still-lifes to portraits:
We were talking about portraits. People think a sugar bowl has no physiognomy or soul. But that changes every day here. You have to take them, cajole them, those little fellows. These glasses, these dishes, they talk among themselves. They whisper interminable secrets. I gave up on flowers; they fade too soon. Fruits are more faithful. They love to have their portraits painted. They sit there and apologise for changing colour. Their essence breathes with their perfume. They come to you with all their aromas and tell you about the fields that they left, about the rain that nourished them, about the dawns they watched.1
The tradition of the still-life—so admired by a younger generation of artists, including the Impressionists—was set by the eighteenth-century French artist Jean Siméon Chardin. An 1860 retrospective of Chardin's work had revived interest in this genre, and inspired the young Cézanne. He was later to comment on Chardin's importance for the still-life genre and its history:
[Objects] never cease to be alive … they spread themselves out imperceptibly among themselves by intimate reflections, as we do with our gazes and our words. Chardin was the first to see that, he painted the nuanced atmosphere of things.2
Cézanne contributed to the history of this genre in his own extraordinary, subtle way.

Critical Review, Vol. 21, Nos. 2 & 3, pp. 195-210, 2009
Why did the popping of the housing bubble bring the financial system - rather than just the housing sector of the economy - to its knees? The answer lies in two methods by which banks had evaded regulatory capital requirements. First, they had temporarily placed assets - such as securitized mortgages - in off-balance-sheet entities, so that they did not have to hold significant capital buffers against them. Second, the capital regulations also allowed banks to reduce the amount of capital they held against assets that remained on their balance sheets - if those assets took the form of AAA-rated tranches of securitized mortgages. Thus, by repackaging mortgages into mortgage-backed securities, whether held on or off their balance sheets, banks reduced the amount of capital required against their loans, increasing their ability to make loans many-fold. The principal effect of this regulatory arbitrage, however, was to concentrate the risk of mortgage defaults in the banks and render them insolvent when the housing bubble popped.

St. Paul's Letter to the Hebrews 5:4-10
Prokeimenon. Mode 3.
Luke 1: 46-48
My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.
Verse: For he has regarded the humility of his servant.
BRETHREN, one does not take the honor upon himself, but he is called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ did not exalt himself to be made a high priest, but was appointed by him who said to him, "Thou art my Son, today I have begotten thee"; as he says also in another place, "Thou art a priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek." In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death, and he was heard for his godly fear. Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered; and being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him, being designated by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek.

Office of Cooperative Research
Dr. Zhang's research focuses on two areas: 1) etiology and prognosis of adult malignancies; and 2) risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes. In particular, she has been pioneering the causes of increasing trends of thyroid cancer observed worldwide. As thyroid cancer is the fifth most common cancer among women in the United States, and factors that are responsible for this increasing trend are largely unknown, there is a critical need to clarify dangers. She is currently leading research activities in these areas as the PI of a population-based case-control study of thyroid cancer in Connecticut and a large nested case-control study of thyroid cancer in the Department of Defense Serum Repository (DoDSR) cohort. Dr. Zhang has been studying a wide array of environmental exposures, lifestyle factors and gene-environment interaction in the etiology and prognosis of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. She plays a major role in the International Lymphoma Epidemiology Consortium (InterLymph), and her research on hair dye use served as key evidence for IARC Monograph. She has also been studying environment factors and gene-environment interactions for multiple myeloma and cancers of the testes, pancreas, lung, liver, breast, and bladder.
Dr. Zhang became interested in adverse pregnancy outcomes because the fetal origin hypothesis suggests that growth and developmental delays in utero may influence not only childhood mortality and morbidity but also the risk of diseases in adulthood including diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Dr. Zhang is currently establishing a birth cohort study in Lanzhou and Taiyuan, China to investigate a wide range of environmental and lifestyle factors, genetic and epigenetic changes, gene-gene and gene-environment interactions, and risk of adverse birth outcomes and maternal complications.

Here's a Cop Tasing a 14-Year-Old Girl While She Puts Her Hands Up
On the afternoon of September 29 in Allentown, Penn., according to police, a group of high school students who'd just been released from school were moving so slowly while crossing the street that they'd stopped traffic. Officer Jason Ammary attempted to deal with this pressing issue by "issuing verbal commands"; when that was unsuccessful, he approached a 14-year-old student named Keshana Wilson to "get [her] to move along." Ammary says she began to curse at him, "inciting the crowd," which Ammary determined to be an arrestable offense. This is where this video, taken by closed-circuit TV and obtained by the Allentown Morning Call, begins, more or less. (It's missing nearly a minute of footage, for reasons that are unclear.)
Wilson's mother is suing Ammary and the police department for use of excessive force. As is clear in the video above, Wilson put her hands up before Ammary fired the taser; furthermore, the suit claims, Ammary "grabbed Wilson from behind without identifying himself [...] 'violently' pushed her into the side of a parked vehicle [...and] placed his right forearm against her throat, choking her." The police department claims that Ammary was justified in his use of force.

How could I resist? With a little vinegar, mustard, and some vegetables and herbs, I put my festive lentils to use in this Lentil Salad from Veganomicon.
Rich in fiber and protein, this salad sticks to my ribs and keeps me full until late afternoon. I used Raye's Winter Garden Mustard, a delicious blend with dill, garlic and celery seed. Lentils are another healthy protein source that gets little respect outside the vegetarian community. But like any mildly-flavored protein, lentils rise to the occasion with assertive seasoning. They take only 20 minutes to cook and require no soaking, so I use them often in last minute lunches.
A packed lunch with leftover apple pie for dessert. Mmm, autumn.

A black former student is suing because he contends Harrisburg High School didn't protect him from racially motivated acts, which he says included being left a noose with his name on it.
The federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Benton is on behalf of Roman Moore, who graduated from Harrisburg High School last May.
The lawsuit claims principal Karen Crank and the school board knowingly allowed racially motivated acts against Moore and that officials didn't reprimand students for the noose he says was found in the high school's locker room a year ago.
Crank's office directed calls Wednesday to Superintendent Dennis Smith. He says he hasn't yet seen the lawsuit and deferred comment, other than to say there's a question about whether the rope was actually a noose.
Moore is the son of Rietta Miller who attended the January 15 school board meeting and addressed the board in a closed session. She told the Daily Register she was informing the board about threatening text messages sent to her daughter that she did not believe the school was taking seriously.
She also told the Daily Register about Moore's issue.
"There was a noose found in the gym back on Feb. 15 or 16 with my son's name on it and the school board members said they hadn't even heard of the incident," Miller said in January.

CLEMSON – The Clemson University Cooperative Extension Service and Carolina Clear have launched an initiative to help property owners install rain gardens to mitigate potential flood damage and help protect S.C. water quality.

Late blight disease, the most destructive and infectious disease affecting tomatoes and Irish potatoes, has been reported this week on tomatoes in a home garden in Beaufort County.
The diseased plants have been destroyed, but further spread of late blight to other areas of South Carolina is likely if the fungal-like pathogen arrived via spores blown up from Florida. To make matters worse, the cool, cloudy and wet weather in large parts of the state created ideal conditions for escalation.
Three Lancaster families will ring in the holiday spirit Dec. 6 for the Lancaster Garden Club's 29th annual Christmas Tour of Homes. That 2015 seasonal soundtrack includes hoots with Christy and Doug Barnes, family laughter with Gwen and Audrey Curry and the make-believe march of toy soldiers with Clara and Rusty Reed.
Do you hear what we hear?
Mazie Bailey has never met a seed she didn't like.
In one sense, many of the flowers planted at 1890 Old Camden Highway, are new.
But they are actually a new generation of the plants that filled the yard some 13 years ago when Bailey was awarded Yard of the Month by the Garden Clubs of Lancaster.
She is probably one of the best seed harvesters to win the honor.
Bailey's yard is filled with "recycled annuals."
The tall scarlet sage growing throughout her beds began as seeds from last year's crop.
Dori and Dan Schaupp married 37 years ago and have had vegetable garden every year. At their home at 1310 Crestfield Drive, they faced a challenge. The backyard retained water when it rained and became marshy, making gardening next to impossible. Their solution was to create raised garden beds.
In 2004, they began with four raised beds with mainly vegetables and a small space for herbs. Over the years the number of beds has grown.
Sue and Michael Mangum have lived at 136 Evergreen Road for the last 20 years. During this time they have enjoyed keeping their yard well-manicured, neat and full of seasonal blooms. Until now, little did they know that others admired their yard, too. They received an unprecedented five nominations for Yard of the Month recently.
After learning of these nominations and viewing the yard herself, Elaine Atkins with Leaf and Petal Garden Club agreed and selected the Mangums' yard as the June Yard of the Month.

Tucked away in the new subdivision College Place, John and Audrey Hadvab found just the right setting for their home seven years ago. As their home evolved so did their yard.
Working with a landscape designer, they developed a plan filled with low maintenance shrubs and trees. Even after seven years of growth the shrubs, along with perennials they have added, through the years still create a beautiful look.

athy Taylor never thought she'd be a farmer. She worked in offices her whole life, most recently spending eight years working for Mar Mac Wire in McBee as an accounts payable clerk. But when she was laid off from that job in 2004, her life changed in a way she couldn't have imagined.
Statepoint Media
The majority of pet owners say they have at least one dog or cat with behavioral problems, which easily can be exacerbated by such disruptive things as summer thunderstorms and road trips.
And unfortunately behavioral issues are the No. 1 reason for euthanasia in dogs and cats, resulting in the death of about 15 million pets each year.
The Haires built their home in 1970. Many of the original boxwoods and hollies kept neatly trimmed continue to thrive in the yard – a direct result of Judy's green thumb.
"Growing plants has always been easy for me," Judy said. "Many times I have just stuck a small cutting from a plant in the ground and it really takes off."

Josh has a small head.ReplyCancel
I actually like Emmas look.
And Audrey looks fantastic. Love her outfit.ReplyCancel
Hendricks shouldn't wear black sweaters. Her main appeal are her awesome boobs and that outfit disguises them.ReplyCancel
Woody Allen can go jump off a cliff. That is all.ReplyCancel
Emma and Gina vs Anna Wintour!ReplyCancel
Yay! I LOVE me some Josh Lucas! VIP…do me a solid and toss a full frontal Josh out here. PLEASE!!!ReplyCancel
Audrey is so gorg.ReplyCancel
Josh ffrontal.ReplyCancel
My couch I designed is in that movie! My claim to fame.ReplyCancel
Also, anyone who harms a child should live a very very long way away from the innocents. I wish they could be put through the same abuse & feelings of helplessness & shame that their victims will suffer for the rest of their lives.
It would be brilliant if they could be named & shamed. Oh yeah they have been named! PUT THE BASTARDS AWAY. Don't let them carry on making movies that are Indy & therefore edgy. Stop piling on the accolades.
Why do people not talk about this?
There are multiple predators within the entertainment industry,
They get away with it because they are "artists". I hate doing the inverted comma thing.
Call them out for exactly what they are. Pedophiles.
Why just call out Woody Allen? Call them all out instead of hiding behind "Blinds". Prove you have the real scoop. After all, if you are telling the truth, no law is broken. Otherwise, you're either full of shit and lying about these child molestation blinds or protecting child molesters, both of which makes you scum.
You've been challenged to man up, Enty. Make the right choice.ReplyCancel
I don't think Woody is a child abuser. Never did. He's quirky but I think he's innocent.ReplyCancel
I covet Gina Gershon's dress.
Audrey Tautou looks so pretty. Hard to believe Amelie was 12 years ago.
I can't wear shoes like Anna Wintour's. Either I walk out of them (turning my ankle possibly) or my foot cramps from trying to keep them on.
I find Soon-Yi just as creepy as Woody Allen.ReplyCancel
For a hot second ! I thought Gershon was Mendes and I did a double take that she wasn't dragging a shopping cart full of crap with her down the red carpet to hide what she apparently thinks is the next heir to the throne… Since it's not, I'll say I've always liked Gershon's easy style , she reminds me of my mom when she was young…
I have nothing to say about the rest, since I abhor Woody Allen and side-eye the actors who will work for/with him (and yes, I realize the hypocrisy of my first paragraph and this one…)ReplyCancel
Liars and manipulators are also the dregs of society. I believe Mia is both. Woody Allen is such a claustrophobic he didn't even stay at his own party (for the movie) this week once he saw how crowded it was. So no, I don't believe he spent much time in a tiny attic where it allegedly happened.ReplyCancel
Fuck off, Enty. Accusation does not equal guilt. Know what's almost as bad as a child abuser? Someone labeling someone else one where no proof exists. Woody was NEVER found guilty of anything. If I was Woody, I'd sue your ass for slander. And ditto on what other people are saying about all the pedophile blinds posted here.ReplyCancel
I love woody Allen too @unknown! I'm still waiting for Fading Gigolo to come out on DVD but Blue Jasmine was one of the best movies I've seen in years.ReplyCancel
Me too @enquirer he was found not guilty and Mia Farrow is a nutjob. I think they're just one of those weird creepy families and that's all.ReplyCancel
Exactly @topper!! It's all such PC bullshit. It's cool to go against innocent until proven guilty and accuse Woody while ignoring what a nutjob Mia is.ReplyCancel
Careful, Enty. What you said about Woody Allen is libel. Go run that caption by an attorney (other than me) and see what they have to say about it. I sued someone a couple of years ago for doing just what you are doing here and they ended up settling with my client as they did not want to go in front of a jury.ReplyCancel
Me too @figgyReplyCancel
I lurrrve Emma Stone and boyfriend, love them together!!!ReplyCancel
@Topper: F Woody. Read the court decision of the Judge at the time this was all going on.
Just about the only ones defending that creep are other Jews, Barbara Walters, Roger Friedman. He NEVER recovered his audience here in the US after the Soon Yi/Dylan allegations. Good riddance to him and his "art".ReplyCancel
@Studio54 I did read it. It said not guilty.
You're right. No one saw "Blue Jasmine" or "Midnight in Paris" which is why they tanked and went straight to video. Oh, wait! Nope. They were box office hits and were nominated (and won) Academy Awards–but I suppose they got those strictly due to the "other Jews."
@Studio 54, are you trying to say "other Jews" that are just Barbara Walters and Roger Friedman, or "other Jews" that include Jews besides Barbara and Roger?
I include myself in the "other Jews" who are still part of his audience. Just wanted to clear up there are at least three Jews out there supporting Woody.

Statement by Ms. Lilianne Ploumen at the Side Event "Tackling Water Risks to Ensure a Sustainable Future"
Statement by Ms. Lilianne Ploumen
Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation
of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
at the Side Event "Tackling Water Risks to Ensure a Sustainable Future"
25 September 2013
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
I am glad to be in such good company of my colleagues from Switzerland and Colombia, the SG's Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation and the President of the World Water Council, all important partners of the Netherlands.
The history of my country is interwoven with water. We have struggled with floods, transboundary pollution, subsidence, salination and the rising sea level. We also profit from the water as a source of energy and exploit one of the largest ports in the world, Rotterdam.
Water is both a source of development as well as growing threat to development.
In this side event, I want to focus on three points:
- the risks of water related disasters.
- best practices and key factors for success in Disaster Risk Reduction.
- the importance of including water in the post-2015 agenda.
Booming economies and growing populations together with the effects of climate change make countries more vulnerable than ever before for extreme weather events and other natural disasters. The large majority of these natural disasters is water-related.
At this moment, 1.2. billion people globally risk becoming a victim of water related disasters. Already, every year 100 to 200 million people are involved in a water related disaster. According to the World Economic Forum, water security is one of our fastest-growing problems.
But it's isn't simply a matter of too much water. Water scarcity already affects more than 40 percent of the world's population across every continent, and the situation will become more severe in the coming decades. According to the World Resources Institute, by 2030, the annual global water requirements could exceed current sustainable water supplies. Clean drinking water is threatened by floods and pollution in many parts of the world.
Water shortages, poor water quality, and floods by themselves are unlikely to result in state failure. However, water problems, when combined with poverty, social tensions, environmental degradation, ineffectual leadership and weak political institutions, contribute to social disruptions that can result in state failure. Groundwater depletion in parts of Africa and the Middle East is already a threat to regional stability.
Where water management fails, society as a whole is at risk. Water related disasters can result in huge losses of investments and lives. Energy can become scarce. Food production can come to a halt. And drinking water supplies can run out. The safety of people living in deltas and coastal cities is particularly at risk; the need for disaster risk reduction (DRR) in these areas is high and continues to grow.
Effective risk management requires significant investment. However, investment in disaster risk reduction is strategic and economically rational.
Bangladesh is an example: in 1970, 500,000 Bangladeshis lost their lives in a cyclone. After investments in early warning systems and coastal protection works a comparable cyclone in 2007 cost 4000 lives. Clearly, this is 4000 lives too many. But it could have been worse. Protection against water-related disasters in Bangladesh has greatly improved – and it paid off. The loss of human, economic and natural capital has greatly decreased.
Facing rising sea and river levels has implications for the NL too. We need to make new investments. So we formulated a new Delta Plan for our country in 2012. A fund of 1 billion euros per year has been created to finance this Plan.
To formulate the right measures and mobilize the necessary investments in Disaster Risk Reduction, let me highlight a few factors that are of crucial importance. First, consider water a long-term challenge and develop a long-term vision. In the NL, we have decided to work with a timeframe of 100 years. Second: take a regional or national approach. In the NL, we have taken the whole delta into account. Third: involve all relevant stakeholders to ensure that all social, economic and ecological interests are taken into account. Sound water management needs an integrated perspective and a holistic approach.
I realize that many countries may have other expertise and different types of resources than the NL to deal with Disaster Risk Reduction. Therefore, we need to facilitate innovative forms of partnerships and alliances to tackle water risks. The Colombia-Netherlands Water Partnership is a very good example of that.
My country is keen to share its expertise with the world. Dutch businesses have enormous expertise in the field of water management. I'm happy to announce that I've earmarked 5 million euros to improve worldwide access to our expertise. This will allow other governments to consult the best Dutch experts quickly and easily.
The post-2015 agenda is crucial to address the challenges we face. We need an ambitious and dedicated sustainable development goal for water within the post-2015 development framework. It should build on and go beyond the MDG's and existing commitments to tackle water risks. The NL stands for a strong water goal and invites you to discuss with us targets such as: 1) universal access to water supply and sanitation; 2) water management for socio-economic development and environmental protection; 3) wastewater management and water quality, and last but not least; 4) building resilience to water-related disasters.
We can only tackle the risks we are facing with leadership, vision and cooperation. A coalition of water champions is what we need. Let´s start today!

Skip to comments.Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli Says Jail May be Effective Protest to Contraception Mandate
Posted on 01/13/2013 6:15:29 AM PST by marshmallow
RICHMOND, Va. Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said on a radio program Wednesday that going to jail may be an effective way to protest a mandate tied to ObamaCare that requires employers to provide contraceptive coverage.
Appearing on on Iowa conservative radio host Steve Deace's syndicated show, the Republican gubernatorial candidate said civil disobedience is one way to attack the federal health care law's requirement.
The so-called contraceptive mandate is now being challenged in a federal lawsuit by the Hobby Lobby stores. The company is primarily concerned about coverage for the morning-after pill, which some consider an abortion-causing drug.
Cuccinelli called the mandate an attack on the Roman Catholic Church and religious freedom and suggested that opponents fight back by forcing the feds to crack down on those who don't comply.
Cuccinelli, who is Catholic, said he had spoken to a bishop who suggested he'd go to jail to protest it.
"My local bishop said he told a group, `Well, you know, I told a group I'm ready to go to jail,' and I told him, `Bishop, don't take this personally - you need to go to jail," Cuccinelli said, trying to balance levity with seriousness.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
Get these cases before juries ~
Time would be better spent having the legislature pass a secession from the union resolution.
It's not the going to jail part I fear, it's the indignity of being forced out of business by such unAmerican lowlife people.
I dont understand how feminists who think their reproductive system is 0% of my business can possibly think it is 100% my financial responsibility.
Where do EBT buyers go when all the stores are closed and the owners are in jail?
if Cuccinelli and his boss were so concerned with preserving the constitution, then why have they flooded the electorate with illegals? It is only when HE is getting his toes stepped on that he starts thumping his chest. What a hypocrite! We had such high hopes for Cuccinelli and McDonnell but both are just more wind....
3 through 6, but especially this
"Time would be better spent having the legislature pass a secession from the union resolution."
What you said. BTTT
Excellent point.
"My local bishop said he told a group, `Well, you know, I told a group I'm ready to go to jail,' and I told him, `Bishop, don't take this personally - you need to go to jail," Cuccinelli said, trying to balance levity with seriousness."
Bishop DiLorenzo?
Here's what I want to know: Seems to me there are plenty of countries with socialized health care. What did the Church do in those countries like Canada and Europe? Is their system different or what? What's the difference between the state mandating you have to pay for something that is against one's faith and the state paying for the same thing with one's taxes? I mean we have been funding planned parenthood for a while now.
uh, how does The Cooch have anything to do with illegals?
The difference is Europe has a very long history of murdering priests. When it comes to Canada, their history is roasting and eating them.
That's a damn good question!
I dont understand how feminists who think their reproductive system is 0% of my business can possibly think it is 100% my financial responsibility."
EXCELLENT! Everyone should post this statement on their Facebook, Twitter, etc. Just DO it. We need to start making some noise of our own. Stop being nice - we're getting run over like road kill. (ahem.... Boo hoo Boehner and no chin McConnell come to mind)
To be honest, I got it from Twitter but don't remember who.
Well said.
I don't believe employers are typically involved there. One of our priests is from Ireland; he seemed to indicate that the gov't healthcare in Ireland is fairly minimal & most people buy a supplemental policy from a private insurer on their own.
Whats the difference between the state mandating you have to pay for something that is against ones faith and the state paying for the same thing with ones taxes? I mean we have been funding planned parenthood for a while now.
It's the difference between "proximate" and "remote" material cooperation with evil. Remote cooperation is when one party does something good (paying taxes) and another party (the government) perverts that good thing to the service of evil (supporting abortion) without the approval or cooperation of the first party. Remote material cooperation can be permitted for a good reason (i.e., the government does good things with tax money as well).
Cooperating with the Obama death mandate is proximate material cooperation with evil and not permissible.
I guess that's what they must be thinking, thanks. So there is nothing that could be done with tax monies that would force the Church to stop paying taxes(in those areas where they pay them) because there are other good things also done with them? I guess I was just equating taxes used to pay for something bad and the state mandating you to pay for something bad as far as what happens when you don't obey. Which seems like it is pretty much going to be the same thing, fines, prison, punishment.
In the Citizens United case the Supreme Court held that corporations can spend money to support or oppose candidates, that to limit such spending is an unconstitutional ban of free speech.
The First Amendment says:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
It follows then that corporations can spend money to support or not any given health insurance program, that to limit or mandate such spending is an unconstitutional ban on the free exercise of religion.
This is an excellent comment! (Excellent tagline, too)
Please... feel free... spread it around. Maybe it will catch on. :-)
"since companies have freedom of speech protected by the 1st Amend, therefore they must also have freedom of religion protected by the 1st Amend."
The most enjoyable thing about this is taking their ruling and throwing it back at them. I'd like to see how they try to worm out of it. Judges don't respect the Constitution, only what some other judge said some other judge said.
The "contraception mandate" is utter nonsense, as is "obama-care".
The idea popped into my head from nowhere while at the grocery store. Sometimes I really have to wonder.

In a recent tri-swim meet between Emery, Richfield and Juan Diego High Schools held in Castle Dale at the Emery County Aquatic Center, the Emery High boy's team finished second behind Juan Diego. Richfield, one of the better swim programs in 2-A athletics, had never came close to losing to the Spartans before this day. Final score of the boy's meet was Juan Diego 109, Emery 104 and Richfield 79. Summit Academy had a participating swimmer that scored 11 points.
Four outstanding swimmers lead the Spartan boy's team with many more in the program that are now contributing to the success of the program. Eli Oliverson, Weston Allinson, Tyler Rowley and Spencer Fauver all excel every time they get in the water.
These four finished first as a team in the 400-yard freestyle relay and finished second in the 200-yard medley relay. In both events the team improved their best time of the season.
In addition, each of these swimmers excel in at least two other events. Oliverson won the 100-yard backstroke and finished second in the 100-yard freestyle. Fauver finished first in the 50-yard freestyle and third in the 100-yard freestyle. Rowley won the 500-yard freestyle and finished third in the 100-yard backstroke. Allinson finished second in the 200-yard individual medley and second in the 100-yard backstroke.
The best event for the Emery boys was the 50-yard freestyle where Fauver was first, Tyler Pulli was second and Justan Potter finished fifth. All three improved their best time of the season.
Others placing for the boys team were Colton Clement finishing fourth in the 100-yard butterfly and fifth in the 200-yard freestyle, Tex Stowe finished sixth in the 500-yard freestyle, Michael Nelson finished fifth in the 100-yard backstroke and Tyler Pulli finished fourth in the 100-yard backstroke.
The relay team of Nelson, Pulli, Clement and Potter finished fourth in the 200-yard medley. The team of McKade Hansen, Nelson, Kayden Parkins and Potter finished fifth in the 200-yard freestyle. The team of Pulli, Charles Rubio, Connor Benson and Clement finished fourth in the 400-yard freestyle. The Emery girl's team finished third behind Juan Diego with 144 points and Richfield with 103 points. Emery had 59 points.
The Guymon sisters, Laryssa and Jessica, led the Spartans. Laryssa finished second in the 100-yard breaststroke with Jessica finishing third. Laryssa was third in the 200-yard individual medley. Jessica was third in the 50-yard freestyle. Both girls were members of the 400-yard freestyle relay team that finished second and the 200-yard medley relay team that finished third. Also on the two relay team were Tanner Petersen and Hailee Rogers.
Also scoring points for Emery were Petersen finishing seventh in the 200-yard freestyle and fourth in the 100-yard backstroke, Rogers finishing fourth and Chyanne Carter finishing sixth in the 100-yard freestyle, Krista Wright finishing fifth and Carter sixth in the 500-yard freestyle.
The girls relay team of Gentry Guymon, Destanne Brunson, Laurel Jeffries and Judy Boyer finished fifth in the 200-yard freestyle. The relay team of Melece Pulli, Gentry Guymon, Wright and Carter finished fifth in the 400-yard freestyle.
The region meet will be held at Richfield on Jan. 21 with the state meet being held on Feb. 3-4 at BYU.

The Reds set up a play-off with the Crusaders in Christchurch after holding on to win 14-12 against the 'Tahs in Sydney on Saturday.
The Reds set up a play-off with the Crusaders in Christchurch after holding on to claim a 14-12 victory over the Waratahs in a dull derby.
It was never going to be a thrill-a-minute clash between the Australian duo, especially with the Reds knowing that a point would see them finish the season in fifth. But with the prospect of either a trip to New Zealand to face the Crusaders or Canberra to the Brumbies, it created intrigue.
Of course plenty of attention was centred on Quade Cooper after Robbie Deans' departure from the Wallaby hot seat. But as has been the case throughout his ongoing career, it was a Jekyll and Hyde performance from the Reds playmaker as he created a try but also gifted one.
Cooper opened the scoring in the ninth minute with a penalty but the 'Tahs would hit back two minutes later when Cam Crawford got over thanks to a powerful surge at the uprights. Brendan McKibbin's conversion made it 3-7 to the home side to cap a bright opening passage.
It was then to be Cooper the brilliant when his fired miss pass to the left bamboozled the home defence and sent full-back Ben Lucas. Unfortunately for the fly-half, he was off-target with his conversion but McKenzie's outfit were now ahead by a single point.
A contentious call would follow on 25 minutes when John Ulugia was sent to the sin-bin for a no-arms tackle on Rod Davies, but the numerical advantage did little to increase the 'Tahs' attacking intent. Instead it was the Reds doing all the running before Cooper's mishap.
Looking to unlock the defence 35 metres out, Cooper's inside ball was pounced upon by McKibbin who ran 50 metres before handing to Berrick Barnes who crossed in the right-hand corner to make it 8-12. Unfortunately for Michael Cheika's outfit his scrum-half's kick was off-target on the half-hour mark and so the score stayed as it was until half-time.
The second-half was not much better in terms of a spectacle as despite Cooper's three points six minutes following the turnaround to make it 11-12, there was little quality.
One man capable of such a trait would soon play no further part in the game – and probably the season – after Reds wing Davies suffered a horrible looking knee injury in contact.
Cooper would hand his side the lead on 55 minutes from the tee and despite the Waratahs' best efforts via Michael Hooper going close and Barnes' late missed penalty and drop-goal, the Reds would hold on, setting up a clash with the Crusaders on the road next week.
The scorers:
For Waratahs:
Tries: Crawford, Barnes
Con: McKibbin
For Reds:
Try: Lucas
Pen: Cooper 3
Waratahs: 15 Cam Crawford, 14 Tom Kingston, 13 Rob Horne, 12 Berrick Barnes, 11 Peter Betham, 10 Bernard Foley, 9 Brendan McKibbin, 8 Dave Dennis (captain), 7 Michael Hooper, 6 Jed Holloway, 5 Kane Douglas, 4 Sitaleki Timani, 3 Sekope Kepu, 2 John Ulugia, 1 Benn Robinson.
