Emery County Historical Society met at the Museum of The San Rafael. The topic presented by Wade Allinson was "The Emery County Influence at Robbers Roost and Under the Ledge, 1890-1940."
The Historical Society Chairman Evelyn Huntsman opened the meeting by exclaiming, "What a wonderful crowd we have tonight." "We are so pleased to have you here." Nearly all the Museum chairs were used to seat the large group.
In March, Wade Allinson will make a presentation about John C. Fremont in the Emery County area.
After a prayer and a pledge to the flag of the United States of America, Evelyn Huntsman announced, new Emery County Historical Society Officers will have to be elected this year in this meeting.
Nominations were taken from the floor for each of the offices in the Emery County Historical Society. The new officers elected are as follows: Joyce Staley Treasurer, Evelyn Huntsman Secretary, Lori Ann Larsen Vice Chairman and Susanne Anderson Chairman.
Past Chairman Dixie Swasey was given the assignment of swearing in the new officers.
Evelyn Huntsman paid tribute to Dixie Swasey for her leadership abilities and dedication to the society over the years.
Suzanne Anderson said they wanted to recognize Evelyn Huntsman and tell her thank you for all the fun things she has brought to the society. Then, Suzanne presented Evelyn Huntsman a large potted houseplant. We are glad she will still be working with us.
At the start of the program, Evelyn introduced Linden Gardner as a special guest entertainer who would play his guitar and sing a few old Western ballads for the group to enjoy. His first ballad was "Ghost Riders in the Sky." The second ballad sung was "Cool Water" and the third ballad was "Riding Down the Trail When the Desert Sun Goes Down."
Evelyn Huntsman introduced the guest speaker Wade Allinson, who arrived at the meeting with his wife Jenny Lynn and daughter Maddie and was to tell the group of what he found from his exploring in the Robbers Roost Area of Utah.
Allinson started his lecture by saying, "Most of what I will present today will come from my research and from questions I've asked of Emery County people about their ancestors and many of those people are in the audience tonight. I appreciate their input. Tonight, the things I'm going to talk about will be like trying to put a puzzle together.
Many of the families living in Emery County have family histories of having contacts with people down in the robbers roost area and under the ledge. Some of them claim to have made contact with the wild bunch down there. You often wonder how accurate the stories are.
But when you go there and start researching the robbers roost you find the influence of Emery County was amazing. The people from Emery County probably had the biggest influence there as they were raising livestock on that range.
The first time I went horseback riding through poison springs I started to see names on the rocks that tied back to Emery County. I saw the names Petty, Joe Swasey, Mont Caldwell and Wareham. Then I went into a canyon called Trachyte Canyon and noticed the date 1885 and the Joe Swasey name.
Allinson then displayed a map on the screen and pointed out the location of Ferron, Utah and Grand Junction Colo. to illustrate the distances covered by this geographical area. Robbers Roost is not a single place. It is a broad range of canyons part of this area is in Wayne County. Allinson then illustrated the distances Emery County men with livestock had traveled with their herds." Some of the distances involved are as follows: From Ferron to Hanksville is 129 miles and from Ferron to Hite is 201 miles. The elevation at Robbers Roost is over 6,000 feet. The elevation under the ledge is 5,000 feet. Because of the high elevations snow will remain there until March.
Some of the locations shown on the map were Goblin Valley, Gilson Butte, Poison Springs, Sunset Pass, French Spring, Sams Mesa, Blocks, Robbers Roost Canyon, Water Hole Flat, the Henry Mountains and Trachyte Canyon.
The long line of cliffs from the upper area to the lower elevation, called Under the Ledge, prevented access to that piece of useful grazing. It took some time to figure out how to get livestock down there.
Wade Allinson said he likes to collect the names of old cowboys written on rocks and these are some he has found down in the Robbers Roost area. Emery County's influence there was primarily from sheepherders. Those names are Crawford, Seely, Snow, Bohleen, Simonsen, Huntsman, Hitchcock, Moffett, Ottesen, Nelson, Sorensen, Swasey, Ihler, Olsen, Petty, Wells, Wareham, Larson, Jensen, Caldwell, Duncan and Jeffs. This is a large snapshot of the names found on rocks and cliffs of families from Emery County at Robbers Roost and Under the Ledge.
The herd size of the sheep would be from 1,000 to 2,000 head. The sheepherder camp consisted of one herder and one tender or mover. The tender would generally make the dinner and move the camp as the herd moved along. They stayed in wall tents. I learned from Ned Chaffin that they ate a lot of rice in those sheep camps. It took to long too cook beans. With rice you could throw a bunch of it in your saddlebags and it wouldn't rot and it expanded with water. Rice is what they ate. If you go there you will find a lot of condensed milk cans. They would pour condensed milk over the rice. In the winter they would eat some beef, mutton and deer. They would trade with cattlemen for the beef.
Trail development, spring development and the range expansion from the roost to underneath the ledge will be our next topics of discussion.
After the 1930s you see more Wayne County cattle and sheep operations moving in to the area and Emery County people seem to have stopped going there, possibly because the Bureau of Land Management took over in 1939. After the 1940s names from Tory, Teasdale and Hanksville appear.
The North Trail Canyon is near French Springs. Ken Crawford is probably one of the first to make a trail from French Springs down to the North Trail in order to get under the ledge. He is possibly the first to take livestock under the ledge. Ken Crawford was from Ferron and his descendants are living there.
Wade said it was an amazing feat to get livestock down off the ledge to the grass that was under the ledge. Wade quoted Carlyle an author, "After crossing the desert going towards the Colorado River, Ken was on a high mesa near the Colorado River. He looked below and saw some green grass and there was a draw coming from the South that would be North Trail Canyon. He started off some of his goats. He wouldn't send sheep or any of his mules down there. He was willing to sacrifice his goats. He later followed their difficult path. Where he chipped and blasted the path to make it easier for his sheep, horses and mules. This route is now known as the North Trail."
Ned Chaffin mentions how difficult it is to get horses down that trail.
Sam's Mesa is supposed to have been named after Sam Aiken. Sam was from Sanpete County. Sam and Charlie Swasey took several mares and burro jacks to the Mesa for the winter. Some of the names found at the French Springs are Swasey, Moffett, Crawford, Ihler, Seely, Olsen, Christensen, Otteson, Reid, Robertson and Sorenson.
There is a nice spring at Sam's Mesa and trail right to the spring. The old cowboys wrote their names on the rocks above the spring. Possibly they wrote their name while watering their sheep. There is quite a bit of water that runs out from the spring towards the Dirty Devil River.
My favorite inscription was left by Carl Seely in 1921. Carl was one of the bigger sheep operations. He would run three different herds at one time out there. He later leased his herd to Ez Huntsman. Gunner Ihler was there in 1931, the Bert Moffetts spent some time in Orangeville. Bert Moffetts inscription is dated 1897 and again in 1904.
When you come down off of the Roost from Sam's Mesa and get under the ledges into the Blocks. Wade showed photos of the red rock ledges or cliffs with names and dates. He pointed out on a map Trachyte Canyon the Dirty Devil River and the Henry Mountains.
Next Wade showed a picture of Elmer Jeffs from Castle Dale on his horse by his wall tent. Elmer's inscription was dated Dec. 21, 1920. He probably did not get home for Christmas. These herders usually spent the winter on the desert.
The following is copy of an interview of Ned Chaffin.
He (Ned) was talking about sheep and said, "Well the coyotes would get em anyway. A coyote wants something to eat; ... pretty smart animals, especially when they get hunting. And another thing a coyote will do sometimes, they will get a little bunch off by themselves sometimes and they will kill several of em. I know there was one time there...well it was on Andy Miller Flat; Quince Crawford was the owner and ol Leland Boleen was working for him, and coyotes killed about 20 of em; one night, 20 sheep. The sheep just sat there and rot; then the coyotes had food all summer; or most of the summer anyway. I remember seein those old rotten bones drug around that old thing, and smell, man oh man."
The following is a story of John Leland Boleen's meeting the Robbers Roost Gang. "Sheepherder John was herding under the ledge where the Robber Roost Gang held out. They rode into camp one morning requesting food to eat, and for the trail. John fed them, a few at a time, while others watched the trail for the oncoming posses. When they were in camp they took practically all of the food in camp, promising they would replace it soon. They kept the promise a few days later."
Mont Caldwell's inscription appears on the rocks under the ledge. "Back in 1954 again to the Ledges. Mont Caldwell"
Frank Hatt a US Mail Rider June 4, 1909 is inscribed on one of the rocks. Frank was 15 years old when he was carrying the mail from Torrey to Hanksville and to the Cass Hite Post Office at Hite Utah. The Hatt Ranch on the San Rafael below Spotted Wolf is still in the family.
At Water Hole Flat there is still a corral. The Chaffin's spent a lot of time camping here by the spring. A name of interest there is Mister Butler of Placerville Colo. and Ella Butler. If you read Pearl Baker's book called the outlaws. Ella was a camp follower of the Robbers Roost Gang, and Mister Butler was kind of a two-bit outlaw hanging out down there. To the side of their names, we have the James Jeffs name within a couple of feet of their names.
Trachyte Canyon is our next topic. On our map, here is North Wash going down to the Hite Crossing and here is the highway going down to Bullfrog. There is a dominant canyon going down there. This is the early travel route to get down to Hite Crossing at the mouth of Trachyte. Hite was moved when Lake Powell filled up. The sheepherders and cattlemen moved livestock down Trachyte Canyon. It is really rocky and full of Trachyte. Which is a rock that looks a lot like granite.
In Trachyte Canyon is the name Joe Swasey February 21, 1885. This is the oldest name found in that country.
Gilson Butte is what Wade considered to be the North end of Robbers Roost. It was named after Samuel Gilson. He was a cowboy for the Ireland Cattle Company out of Salina. He also worked for the Bunion's and ranched in the Gilson Valley area of Salina. The mineral Gilsonite is named after Samuel Gilson.
Ned Chaffin said in an interview. The Snow family was well known...especially in Emery County. They were shipmen, cattlemen, farmers and quite a prominent family in the country. It was rumored to me that Snow built those steps over in the head of Shot Canyon.
On little Gilson Butte I found the name of Clifford Snow. Next to Clifford's name was CWO and is possibly Celanad William Oliver. Around the butte from them the name Jewkes 1918 was found.
While studying the rocks at Gilson Butte I found the inscription US Army 1966 and Pershing SIR. Then Wade showed a photo of Army Soldiers marching near Gilson Butte. In 1966 this was a mobile Pershing Missile Base. Sending missiles from here to White Sands. There were 1000 troops living there in tents. The name Stuart Wylie March 4 1900, Yankton So Da was on the rocks at Gilson Butte. Stuart was quite a colorful character around Hanksville.
I will talk about some of the canyons in the Roost. We have Robbers Roost Canyon, Pasture Canyon, Blocks Canyon and the slides going down into them. The name Douglas Wells Aug. 20, 1940 was found on rocks in Pasture Canyon. Doug ties into Hanksville and Emery. He was born in Victor and when Victor ran out of water a lot of the families left. Doug was 8 years old when his family left for Hanksville. His uncles and cousins are still in that area.

Harrisburg firefighters escorted a mother and two children from a house as the attic burned 8:24 p.m. Thursday.
A passerby called in the fire at 508 S. Shaw St. and firefighters arrived to see fire in the attic.
On going inside firefighters found the family of Brandon Pickering inside. The mother was holding a young child and a newborn brought home from a hospital only a couple days ago was in its crib. The woman was not aware there was a fire in the attic, Chief Bill Summers said.
Firefighters entered the attic and put a vent hole in the roof to remove smoke and heat.
Summers said the roof was the most damaged and the house sustained water damage.
He suspects a wiring problem caused the fire.

Many of you awoke this morning, sat up quickly and said, "Did that happen, or was I dreaming?" Then you realized you were still wearing your Oiler jersey, and the last time you wore it to bed was after game six of the 2006 Cup finals. The fact is, no Oiler fan would have dared to dream what unfolded last night at Rexall Place.
If you were one of the lucky 16,839 at the Rex, you witnessed history; The first ever shut out in a season opener. You also saw a highlight reel goal, that has to be in the running for greatest first NHL goal, a thunderous KO and an atmosphere of belief and utter happiness that hasn't been in Edmonton on opening night since probably 1984; when they raised the first Stanley Cup banner.
Rexall was electric last night.
The crowd was into it early, and the Oilers responded by outshooting the Flames 19-9 in the first frame. How many of you forgot what it was like to watch entertaining hockey complete with hustle, skill, hitting and desire from the Oilers? Based on the comments from fans in the building, here on the Nation at via twitter I'd say many of you were floored.
Taylor Hall almost had the Cinderella start to his career early in the first, when he was robbed on a one-timer by Mikka Kiprusoff. The fans were trying to cheer their way to a goal for the new #4, but it wasn't meant to be for Hall on this night. In the first period he had three shots, two great scoring chances, took a penalty and had the most icetime of any Oiler forward at 6:45. A pretty solid first period of pro hockey I'd suggest. He will learn to take shorter shifts in the future, but that's a story for another day.
But tonight wasn't about Hall. Instead his new roommate, Jordan Eberle, earned himself a Highlight Of The Night on TSN with a beautiful shorthanded goal. After dominating the Flames in the first, Calgary responded by outshooting the Oilers 18-7 in the 2nd, and seemed to have the momentum going into the third.
Unlike last year, hell the previous four years, the Oilers didn't fold their tent or try and hold on for dear life, instead they came out attacking and Eberle buried his shorty 1:24 into the 3rd and Rexall was alive. The reaction on Shawn Horcoff's face as he congratulated Eberle spoke volumes; the FUN is back in Edmonton.
"I said to someone that has to be one of the best first goals in the history of the league. I mean, toe drag, step over the stick, backhand shelf. Good for him," said an amazed Ryan Whitney.
The building was still rocking when only a 1:19 later Ales Hemsky raced down the right wing and ripped a slapshot through Kiprusoff. Yes, Hemsky took a slapshot and scored on it, and then if you watched his reaction, even Hemsky was caught up in the excitement. How could you blame him. Hemsky hasn't had this much skill around him at any point in his career, and he seems like a new person. Two minutes and twenty-one seconds later it looked like Eberle had his 2nd of the night, but it was ruled after the game to have gone in off Horcoff's body. What mattered is the Oilers had their 2nd PP goal of the night, and a commanding 4-0 lead.
Throughout all the excitement of the offence, Nikolai Khabibulin was quietly working on a shutout. He ended up with 37 saves and the first ever season opening shutout for the Oilers. The Oilers have only been shutout once in a season opener, October 3rd, 2001 when they lost 1-0 in Calgary. Khabibulin was square to the shooters all night, and I don't recall him having to make a spectacular save, probably because his rebound control and puck control (pushing shots to corner) was exceptional.
And to cap off the night, Steve MacIntyre Ko'ed Raitis Ivanans with a thundering right with 2:20 remaining in the game.
I can't remember the last time an Oiler knocked a guy out like that. It was a strange 30 seconds. When Ivanans went down the building and Oiler bench went nuts, but after a few seconds, when he didn't move, the tone changed to concern. I'll give those fans credit who cheered when Ivanans eventually got to his feet, even though he was clearly on Strange Street and needed to be helped off the ice, it was nice to see him get up.
"At first it is huge excitement, and then you are worried about him a little bit. I don't know if he is going to remember any of that to tell you the truth. You hope the guy is okay, obviously. It's the toughest job in sports, what they (heavyweights) do. But it was pretty impressive for Mac tonight, he hit him right on the button," said new captain, Shawn Horcoff.
It was an exclamation point on a dominating evening for the Oilers. For Oiler fans the game had everything; scoring, lots of speed, big hits, four fights and a shutout.
Even the most optimistic fan couldn't have dreamt a better scenario.
For one game, okay let's be honest for at least three days, Oiler fans will be proud to cheer for the Copper and Blue again. When the horn blew to end the game, it seemed the euphoria from what you'd just witnessed almost instantly erased the past four years of losing. (Now those feelings might resurface later this year, but for now you have banished them to the back of your memory, hoping they never return.)
As much fun as this game was for the rookies and veterans, it might have been more fun for the fans.
I was told that within minutes after Eberle scored his highlight reel goal, five fans bought an Eberle jersey. I don't doubt this because I ran into Wanye after the game and he was sporting a brand new #14 retro jersey. True story. He said it was the first jersey he'd bought with a name on the back since Bill Ranford's #30. And he didn't have any beer spilled on it, so I knew he must have just got it.
After the game I had ten different fans approach me with, "Do you think they can make the playoffs?"
After a performance like that I can understand why fans want to believe this team can get back to the dance. Rather than rain on your parade and suggest, "It's only one game," I say put on your new Eberle jersey, or Hall, or Paajarvi, or MacIntyre and soak it in.
It is too early to worry, or care, about making the playoffs, just enjoy the ride because it seems likely that they will be highly entertaining, and for Oiler fans that is all they want.
Just say, "Thank you boys, may I have another?"
- Gilbert Brule left the game after Theo Peckham collided/fell on him inside the Flames blueline. Tom Renney didn't have an update after the game, so we'll find out Brule's status at tomorrow's morning skate.
- After the game Renney said he wanted to get Paajarvi on the ice more, but he played 15:53, 6th most amongst forwards. Renney wants to play the kids. Hall had 16:59 of icetime, while Eberle played 16:11.
- Penner only played 13:48, which seems surprising. He didn't kill any penalties.
- Hemsky played 2:02 on the PK tonight, that has to be the most in his career.
- Andrew Cogliano was 50% in the dot, going 5-5. If Cogliano can stay around that mark he and Renney will be happy. Brule was 5-1 until leaving with his undisclosed injury. Horcoff was only 38% going 6-10, but the Oilers finished 52% as a team.
- Theo Peckham blocked six shots, had three hits and got into a spirited scrap with Tim Jackman. He played 2:46 on the PK, and after Oiler powerplays, the coaches weren't afraid to put him and Vandermeer out against Iginla's line. Peckham was solid and showed why they kept him over Petiot and Belle. Renney likes his toughness.
- Ryan Jones had two big hits on Bouwmeester and played feisty all night. If he can play that way most games he'll be an asset.
- Kurtis Foster didn't have a shot on goal. He only took one, a one-timer on the PP that missed high and wide. In fact Smid, Vandermeer and Peckham didn't register a shot either. Whitney and Gilbert had two each.
- Did you notice who Renney had on the ice at the ensuing faceoff after MacIntyre's KO? He had Vandermeer, Peckham, Penner, Fraser and Jones; guys who can handle themselves with the gloves off. Renney wanted to make sure if the Flames tried to redeem themselves through fisticuffs, that the Oilers would be ready. Nothing happened, but don't underestimate the "old school" thinking of Renney. He doesn't want his team to get pushed around or intimidated this year.

Good question, many Flames fans were wondering why as well. Although only one of those three is a centerman and he's pretty long in the tooth now.
But if you take into account that the cap is based on days up on the big squad and the fact that 2 years ago they had to go with 14 players, you'd think they would be more careful with their money.
October 08 2010, 11:50AM
Even beyond the entertainment value, I thought it served a purpose....from a hockey standpoint anyway.
The fact that it was the BOA and the game wasn't close should be more then enough to make a person realize why the fight took place.
October 08 2010, 11:50AM
Glad I picked him too. F*uck yeah!!
October 08 2010, 11:53AM
Regarding Vandermeer - I was watching the streaming feed on CBC in the middle of a dozen other tasks so didn't catch every play, but was shocked at a few decent offensive moves by Vandermeer. That feed to Eberle on the SH goal was fantastic! I didn't catch any of his defensive blunders.
I really didn't think he had much offensive upside in him, and always regarded the guy as a mean shut-down, stay home Dman. What did we give up for this guy... oh yeah - POS! If Vandermeer can keep rolling and improve on his game - this may be one of Tambo's best moves yet!
In total agreement, see my posts on GDB1. GOAT! But if that's all we have to complain about in that game, I can live with that.
EDIT, this was supposed to be a reply to Ogden Brother Jr - Team Lynda Steele.
But if you take into account that the cap is based on days up on the big squad and the fact that 2 years ago they had to go with 14 players, you'd think they would be more careful with their money.
Many Flames fans were calling for Darryl Sutter's head last year....I don't imagine it's going to get any better for him this year. Especially with Feaster breathing down his neck.
For Sutter's sake the Flames better get it going.
So much for the 7 - 0 preseason.
October 08 2010, 12:01PM
It's sad after such a great K.O. that the bleeding hearts are going to jump all over it and cry about how fighting should be taken out of the game. Calm your nerves ladies, hike up those panties, put on a pot of tea and go watch battle of the blades.
Not really suprised by it either.
Is that Mike Patton in your av?
October 08 2010, 12:10PM
Grimson was a rookie when he fought Brown. I'm sure the fight he lost was his 4th NHL game.He played 725 games after that and was a legitimate heavy, until Laraque gave him a concussion late in his career. Not sure how you can say he was never they same, since he played much more after the fight than he did before.
He played 4 games as a Flame, and fought Brown twice. Grimson was tough.
As for Jones, they like his agitating style more, but it was perplexing to see Stortini sit. Stortini was a healthy scratch. He was very surprised not to be dressing, but since Hordichuk is in Florida now, I'd expect to see Stortini on Sunday.
I recall Grimson having a mean name and all but I don't recall him being tough. I remember Brown had Grimson on the ice and could have pulverized his brain into bits but Brown took pity on Grimson and relented and walked away. Grimson is now a lawyer. Go figure.
October 08 2010, 12:26PM
Fantastic game last night! Although Khabibulin had the shutout, he really must work on his puck handling skills. From the game opener last year to a couple of "Oh Geez" moments last night. Last night he got a tad lucky... but... I have a feeling there will be some not-so-lucky nights.
Hall definitely must learn to shorten his shifts. You can tell both Hall and Paajarvi were pressing after Eberle got his points. It may be a long year, but that was an exciting game to watch!
October 08 2010, 12:30PM
I know I am a little late with this comment but...
I was truly excited to be watching the oil for the first time in a long time. And I wasn't disappointed.
Wow, what a great f 'ing game. That type of hockey is fun to watch.
I know it is just one game, but I think we have to give up on the idea of getting the first overall pick in 2011 draft.

A couple of more head shots and he might be a politician now. ;-)

He was okay. The 4th line only had a few shifts in the first, but they were effective. I think Fraser will be fine as 4th line guy, but could improve his footspeed.
I was referring to Foster not Fraser. Just wondering what others opinions were. Other than PP does anyone know if he played in the 2nd or 3rd pairing in TB last year?
Awesome. I'm heading to LA in Nov. to see a Faith No More reunion show. So excited! My favourite singer, hands down.
October 08 2010, 01:11PM
lucky bastard!
Patton is by far my favorite artist as well, he is the Jordan Eberle of the music world :)
October 08 2010, 02:05PM
Eberle goal. The quick hands in tight space with speed reminded me of Pavel Bure.
Seriously, how many current NHLers could score that goal. No more than a handful I guess.
Last game i went to with that much excitement was game six versus Carolina. Thanksgiving weekend and i give thanks for being present for that display....especially versus the Flamers!
The music still needs some work!

This is it boys. Second coming of Jesus. Get used to a explosive season filled with lots of sick goals.

Smack daddy. Smack attack. Mr. Mackenzie can go write about trades and all his "insider" stuff cuz he doesn't know squat about fighting. You want a soft, no fighting, no brain damage potential league then you can take your candy tsn a** and fly down to Europe and cover the SEL or the Swiss league.
MacKenzie has a point but if you watch the full video its Ivanans (obviously, I guess) who wanted to fight, not MacIntyre.
I was jumping up and down when Big Mac won the fight but right now I'm just hoping Ivanans doesn't get permanent brain damage from that.

Today is my birthday. Birthday's have always been quietly celebrated in my family. There were too many of us to get large or numerous gifts, so the day was made special in other ways. Mom made the cake or pie of your choice. As we grew up and left home, we sent cards and made phone calls to each other.
I won't get my phone call or card from my mom this year. This makes me sadder than I'd like to admit.
I do have a coupon for a free serving of ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery. I plan on stopping by on my way home today as I try to celebrate today rather than grieve.

CARBON COUNTY-Remo Spigarelli died Nov. 24, 2010 at the age of 98 in his granddaughter's home in Boston after a brief respiratory illness. He was born Oct. 4, 1912 in Hiawatha, Utah to Sisto and Mary Bellucci Spigarelli who were both immigrants from Umbria, Italy.
After completing the eighth grade he went to work in the coal mine to support his family. He spent a long career working for U.S. Fuel at Hiawatha and Sunnyside mines doing mostly welding and machine repair. Remo was a charter member of the United Mine Workers of America District 22 and served his local as a staunch supporter and a delegate to several U.M.W.A. national conventions. He was a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus and lifelong member of Notre Dame Parish.
Remo was an exceptionally kind, loving and grateful man and as a result, he had many friends and was always surrounded by people who loved and cared about him. He enjoyed life and was a joy to be around to the end. He especially loved children. He was a wonderful father, and was a great help to his daughter Alice in raising her child Chrysalyne. He always said that his family was everything to him and it was obviously true.
In his last year, he was a daily example to his great-grandchildren of politeness, gratitude, and maintaining a positive attitude. He never dwelled on his difficulty walking or communicating since his stroke, preferring to enjoy what he could in his daily life and being grateful that he could still get around. He thanked his family genuinely and profusely for every cup of coffee and meal brought to him, enjoyed every outing to a restaurant, kids'school show, or family event, and was always ready to give and receive a hug. Those who knew him were the better for it and he will be sorely missed.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Anna Alice Spigarelli; his daughter, Alice Spigarelli Delling; his second wife, Mary Brusatto Carr Spigarelli; and his siblings, Irene Spigarelli Percich, Perena Bladig Marzo, Merena Bladig Perla, Cecil Spigarelli, and Ellen Bladig.

Palace: No United Zaha deal
Crystal Palace have denied a deal has been struck for winger Wilfried Zaha to join Manchester United.

Newspaper reports suggested United boss Sir Alex Ferguson held talks with the player in London on Sunday over a switch that could be worth up to £15m.
But Palace have told Sky Sports they have not given Zaha permission to talk with the Premier League leaders and no deal has yet been struck.
Arsenal and Tottenham are among others said to have been tracking the 20-year-old's progress, although United remain favourites to land him.

"I recommend the Nine West Karoo as a higher quality alternative with a similar silhouette, but you will never find those at this price. If you just need plain, simple slingbacks, these are a great value on clearance. My regular size is the perfect length, and my upper-side-of-regular-width toes aren't crushed.The navy are lined with silver, which shows around all the edges of the upper. It's much more obvious in person than in the picture. Depending on your mood, that could be perceived as either a nice contrasting trim detail or a sloppy mistake. If you're in the latter frame of mind, steer clear of the navy.The lining on the beige is gold, and while that also shows around the edges, the difference in color is so minimal as to be unnoticeable. If I hadn't been comparing it to the navy, I would never have seen it.Heel height measured from the floor to the back of the foot bed (which, in my experience, is how DSW consistently measures) is indeed three inches."

Skip to comments.Republicans reject 'Buffett rule' in the Senate (51 to 45)
Posted on 04/16/2012 4:37:19 PM PDT by Red Steel
Reporting from Washington
Republican-led opposition blocked the 'Buffett rule' from advancing in the Senate, turning back an election year effort by President Obama to slap a new tax rate on those earning beyond $1 million a year.
Nearly all Republicans voted against the measure, a potentially risky move at a time when 60% of voters support the measure, according to a recent Gallup poll, as a way to ensure wealthy Americans pay their fair share of taxes. Democrats are likely to revive the effort in coming months.
Continuing to allow some of the wealthiest Americans to use special tax breaks to avoid paying their fair share simply cannot be justified, the White House said in a statement before the vote.
(Excerpt) Read more at latimes.com ...
There are only 47 Republicans, so I think the LA Times may be pushing a lie.
One Republican, Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, joined Democrats in voting to advance the measure. One Democrat, Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, voted against.
Dang! I was unaware that there are 51 republicans in the senate these days! /sarcasm
Typical of Susan Collins - why can't we get rid of her?

Republicans were on the 45 side.
There, fixed it.
Collins feels guilty her husband is under investigation for stealing from the gov't
Hard to tell that from the headline now isn't it?
Do say more. I was not aware of this issue...
What lie? With exception of Snowe the Republicans pulled together and were responsible for defeating the bill. The vote was close though so we have our work cut out for us.
The same 60% that would piss and moan if you dared raised their taxes or asked 43% of them to at least pay SOME INCOME TAX. Hypocrites!!! If this 60% wants someone to pay more taxes for THEIR BIG government, I suggest they THEY DO IT! They are NOT Americans. They're freeloaders.
Typical of Susan Collins - why cant we get rid of her?
Why is it that people like collins never have a moose related acident?
Collins isn't married.
The lie: Continuing to allow some of the wealthiest Americans to use special tax breaks to avoid paying their fair share simply cannot be justified, the White House said in a statement before the vote.
The truth: The capital gains tax rate is not a "special" tax break. It is simply a 15% tax rate and is applied equally on all who report such income. The capital gains tax rate is neither progressive nor regressive taxation.
The opinion: Seems to me that it is the forerunner of a type of flat tax. If we cannot find a way to come up with a good consumption tax, I would like to see the earned income tax rates be replaced with the same rate as the capital gains tax rate. At least then we would be in the ballpark of a more "fair" tax system.
Seriously, anybody, no matter who they are and how much money they have, can find a finite number of ways of donating extra money to the U.S. government, if they, really, wanted to do so. This issue is, just, a "dog and pony show" by the left, in order to ignore all of Barack Obama's problems as well as ignore all of the problems of the left, in general.
There are 51 democrats, 2 democrat independents and 47 republicans. The democrats can pass it if they waned to push their majority. This was a bipartisan defeat. Kudos to the GOP for voting correctly, but this headline and story is just electon propaganda.
Buffet rule - another Obama straw man the progressive media is only too happy to characterize as a good and necesswary tax law blocked by those dastardly Republicans who only care for the 1% and will gleefully starve the poor and the old people and even little puppies.
We can only hope there are enough rational people paying attention that won't fall for Zero's lies and tricks.
LOL ... some years ago, there was a magazine article (in Forbes, I think) where Warren and Jimmy were interviewed. Turns out they really are distant cousins through a common Nova Scotia relative. Warren said (paraphrasing) that the way things were going, referring to Jimmy's musical success, he should start asking Jimmy for investment advice. I loved the picture at the beginning of the article — it showed Jimmy in a suit and tie with a disgusted look on his face, and Warren in a Hawaiian shirt.
Surprise Surprise!!!!
LOL! So is that final statement the way the poll question was asked? I'm sure 60% DID say they supported that. I'd venture a guess that the vast majority of that 60% have absolutely NO clue what is actually written in the 'Buffett Rule', or how it would truly affect the national debt (not much).
so if there were 51 votes FOR it, and only 45 AGAINST it, how does it not pass? they've now messed up math so bad that 51 is LESS THAN 45??
The measure needed 60 votes to advance.
Not Voting - 4
Akaka (D-HI)
Hatch (R-UT)
Kirk (R-IL)
Lieberman (ID-CT)
Does anyone know why these four did not vote?
Not sure I understand your comment. It takes 60 votes to pass any legislation in the Senate if there is not agreement on allowing the vote. There were 51...a majority who voted yes...but you need 60....to move forward.
It was not bipartisan. I don't count one person as a bipartisan effort.
Good. I love a little Obama smackdown.
Now, let's smack him out in November, for good.
well whatever. The headline is correct in that Republicans as a bloc killed this bill with only one defection. The democrats sure as heck did not kill it. The Republicans killed it and got it done.
U.S. Constitution - Article 1 Section 7
All bills for raising Revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives
Collins is engaged to a 73 year old. She is 59.
I live in Maine and I have no use for her.
Why can't we lower the middle class tax rate down to Buffet's rate?
I say the Republicans should offer up a non-binding resolution that Warren Buffett needs to STFU until he ponies up the billion dollars he already owes and refuses to pay.
Buffet's tax rate is already available to middle-class taxpayers. It's called the "capital gains tax".
I know, so lets reduce the tax rates on all income to 15% so everyone can be happy and everyone can be paying their fair share.
Mark Kirk is recovering from a massive stroke. It's as yet undetermined if he will be able to return ever.
Great idea.
But what about the 48% who pay no income tax.
Are they paying their "fair share"...?
One of the HUGE advantages to both the Steve Forbes no-loophole 17% flat-tax plan and FairTax (H.R. 25/S. 13) is that you no longer impose taxes on bank account interest, capital gains and stock dividend payments. This means you can save and invest essentially tax-free, and that would mean fully-funded banks and people willing to invest in business operations on US soil. This is why I want unprecedented income tax reform.
Pay Fair Share?
How about taxing the 49% of the population who pay NO taxes?
I live in Maine also. I knew she was engaged. Snowe 's husband, Jock has some issues. I think she tends to give in to the other side much too easily, but we could be doing much worse. For example, Pingree.

Are You Ready to Adopt?
If you have been struggling with infertility for some time, you may come to a point in your treatment when you must make a choice: continue your current ART or try a different procedure, accept that you will remain childless, or consider adoption.
Some couples report feeling a sense of failure if they decide to adopt. The woman must come to terms with the fact that she will never feel her baby kick from within or experience childbirth; while the man may mourn the fact that his bloodline will end with his death. These feelings are normal and it's important to acknowledge and work through them before you proceed with the adoption process. Be sure you have come to terms with your loss before bringing a child into the situation.
Although you can certainly explore adoption while you are still undergoing infertility treatment, both are extremely time consuming and stressful and many experts recommend focusing your energy on only one. If you do decide to proceed with both simultaneously, you must consider what you would do if you discover that you are pregnant around the same time you receive news that you have been approved for a child. Or what if you are scheduled to undergo your next cycle of IVF at the same time you must travel across the country or internationally to adopt a baby?
There is no "right" time to stop infertility treatments and pursue adoption. Only you will know when you are ready to take the next step and bring a needy child into your family. The following is a brief outline of some important points of the adoption process to help you determine if you are read to adopt.There are two types of adoptions:
Agency adoptions
Independent adoptions
Adoption laws and regulations vary between states, so be sure you know what types of adoptions are legal in your state. If you decide to adopt a child in another state, you must comply with the laws in both states. If you adopt a child internationally, you must comply with the laws in both countries.
If you want to adopt a child in the welfare or foster care systems, the child may already have been (or will shortly be) legally released for adoption, or you may accept placement of a child who may still be reunited with his or her biological family, or become a foster parent and then begin the process to adopt that child. Cost
The cost of adoption can vary widely, depending on your geographic area and the type of adoption you choose. Domestic adoptions can cost between a few hundred dollars and $30,000, although the average is between $15,000 and $20,000. If you adopt a child in the U.S. - whether through an agency or independently - you'll probably need to pay at least some of the birth mother's expenses, which can include medical costs as well as housing and food, depending on where you live. These expenses can exceed $7,500. You can also end up paying as much as $5,000 to $10,000 in lodging, meal and travel costs, depending on the distance between you and the child.

I'm watching Soul Eater.. It's really good of course, one of my favorites..^^
Tha ama@ & Wizzle@ I'll check out Vagabond and Team Medical dragon..thanksXD
Read Sekirei and Mirai Nikki
Info Taken from onemanga.com
Spoiler!Genres: action, comedy, ecchi, mature, seinen
Summary: Minato is a total loser. He's failed to make it into college twice, he's unpopular with women, and he's unemployed. But he's actually an Ashikabi, one of a mysterious set of "masters" in an awesome battle royale between hordes of cute girls called "Sekireis."
Mirai Nikki:
Spoiler!Genre: action, ecchi, psychological, romance, school life, shounen, (I disagree with ecchi and romance though)
Summary: High school 2nd year, Amano Yukiteru, is a boy who has problem making friends. He thinks of himself as a bystander and will always write down everything he sees in a cell phone diary. Tormented by solitude, Yukiteru began to imagine things like a friend called Deus X Makina who is apparently the Lord of Time & Space. Seeing Yukiteru's miserable state, Deus gives him a new ability. His diary will now record events that will happen in the near future. Yukiteru is then forced to participate in a game which the winner will become Deus's successor.
What sets these two apart is that Sekirei is like battle royale + pokemon + fan service.
Mirai Nikki is [Death Note] but with psychological disorders, and plain out macabre. It shows the true human nature when equipped with power and greed, as well as those on the brink of a mental breakdown.
Sounds interesting^^... *Goes looking for it*
I think you should give Monster a shot.... its a thriller and the story is awesome
Also taken from onemangaSpoiler!Monster weaves the riveting story of brilliant Dr. Kenzo Tenma, a famous surgeon with a promising career at a leading hospital. Tenma risks his reputation and promising career to save the life of a critically wounded young boy. Unbeknownst to him, this child is destined for a terrible fate. A string of strange and mysterious murders begin to occur soon afterward, ones that professionally benefit Dr. Tenma, and he emerges as the primary suspect.

Five down, one to go.
The Bears signed second-round draft pick Jon Bostic to a four-year contract Thursday, making him the fifth of six picks to sign with the team before rookie minicamp starts Friday. Bostic, who played inside linebacker at Florida, was the No. 50 overall selection.
Before signing Bostic, the Bears also agreed to four-year deals with fourth-round pick Khaseem Greene, fifth-round pick Jordan Mills, sixth-round pick Cornelius Washington and seventh-round pick Marquess Wilson.
The only draft pick yet to sign with the Bears is first-rounder Kyle Long, an offensive lineman who played for one season at Oregon. Long, who was the Bears' top selection at No. 20 overall, is expected to join his fellow rookies this weekend at Halas Hall.

text: OverviewBack to top Tropical Oasis - Kids Multiple Vitamin/Mineral - 16 oz. Item# :68646UPC# :617279335506 Brand:Tropical Oasis Size/Form:16 oz. Ship Weight:1.67 Servings:32 Dosage:1 Tablespoon(s) Tropical Oasis - Kids Multiple Vitamin/Mineral - 16 oz. (480 mL) We all know that kids don't always eat the right foods. As much as we'd like our children to live off of spinach and lean meats, they still go for fast food, sugar-laced cereals and donuts. These foods can take a serious toll on their young bodies. Additionally, kids today are busier than ever before. We shuttle them endlessly to and from school, soccer practice, piano lessons and more. Tropical Oasis knows this is what parents face today, because this is what they face with their families and why they added the Tropical Oasis Kids Multiple Vitamin/Mineral supplement to their product line. Tropical Oasis Kids Multiple Vitamin/Mineral is designed and formulated to make good nutrition for our children simple and inexpensive while still being extremely effective with maximum absorption. Each dose of Tropical Oasis Kids Multiple Vitamin/Mineral contains 100% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of 14 vitamins, 66 colloidal minerals and 23 amino acids. Tropical Oasis Kids Multiple Vitamin/Mineral Highlights: Bottled in glass for purity 100% of the recommended daily intake (RDI) of 14 vitamins, 66 colloidal minerals and 23 amino acids Multiple Vitamin-Mineral Supplements What do they do? Multiple vitamin-mineral (MVM) supplements, sometimes known as multivitamin-mineral supplements, contain a variable number of essential and/or non-essential nutrients. Their primary purpose is to provide a convenient way to take a variety of supplemental nutrients from a single product, in order to prevent vitamin or mineral deficiencies, as well as to achieve higher intakes of nutrients believed to be of benefit above typical dietary levels. Many MVMs contain at least 100% of the Daily Value (DV) or the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance (USRDA) of all vitamins that have been assigned these recommended values. Mineral levels may be lower, or in the case of high potency MVMs, most or all mineral levels may also be at 100% of DV or USRDA. Micronutrients that should be included in a complete MVM are vitamin A (or beta-carotene), vitamin B-complex (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and/or niacinamide, vitamin B6, folic acid (folate), vitamin B12, pantothenic acid, and biotin), vitamin C, vitamin D, and vitamin E, and the minerals calcium, magnesium, zinc, iodine, selenium, copper, manganese, chromium, molybdenum, and possibly iron. Some MVMs also contain vitamin K, but people taking the medication warfarin (Coumadin™) should consult their doctor before taking vitamin K supplements. Phosphorus is another essential dietary mineral, but is so abundant in the diet that it does not need to be included in an MVM formula. The only exception is for elderly people, whose diets tend to be lower in phosphorus. Calcium interferes with phosphorus absorption, so older people who are taking a calcium supplement might benefit from taking additional phosphorus. Potassium is an unusual case, as adequate amounts of potassium cannot, by law, be sold in nonprescription products. Thus potassium, when included in an MVM formula, represents only a trivial amount. MVMs may contain iron, but these should be taken only by people who have been diagnosed as having, or being at high risk of, iron deficiency, or who have a history of frequent iron deficiency. Some nutrients may be beneficial at levels above what is possible to obtain from diet alone, and an MVM formula can provide these levels as well. Nutrients that may be useful to most people in larger amounts include vitamin C, folic acid, and calcium. Vitamin E has long been thought to protect against heart disease beginning at 100 IU per day, but more recent research has cast doubt on the value of vitamin E for heart-disease prevention. Large amounts of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B3, and pantothenic acid are often included in MVM formulas. Some people claim to experience improvements in mood, energy, and/or overall well-being when taking higher-than-RDA amounts of B vitamins. While there is not a great deal of scientific research to support those observations, one double-blind study of healthy volunteers found that an MVM supplement significantly reduced anxiety and perceived stress levels, and possibly improved energy and the ability to concentrate. The importance of including the nonessential nutrient beta-carotene in MVMs remains speculative. The synthetic beta-carotene found in most MVMs clearly does not prevent cancer and may increase the risk of lung cancer in smokers. Therefore, the inclusion of synthetic beta-carotene in MVM formulas is of questionable value, and it should be avoided by smokers. This concern was validated by the results of a large study in which male smokers who supplemented with synthetic beta-carotene had an 18% increase in incidence of lung cancer, compared with those given a placebo. On the other hand, because beta-carotene can be converted to vitamin A without causing vitamin A toxicity, some manufacturers use beta-carotene as a source of vitamin A. In contrast to synthetic beta-carotene, however, natural beta-carotene and several other carotenoids may be helpful in preventing certain diseases, including some cancers. Increasingly, natural beta-carotene and several other carotenoids are found in higher quality MVMs. Another class of non-essential nutrients is the flavonoids, which have antioxidant and other properties and have been reported by some, though not all, researchers to be linked with a reduced risk of heart disease. MVM supplements also frequently include other nutrients of uncertain benefit in the small amounts supplied, such as choline, inositol, and various amino acids. Preliminary and double-blind trials have shown that women who use an MVM containing folic acid, beginning three months before becoming pregnant and continuing through the first three months of pregnancy, have a significantly lower risk of having babies with neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida) and other congenital defects. In one double-blind trial, schoolchildren received, for three months, a daily low-potency vitamin-mineral tablet containing 50% of the USRDA for most essential vitamins and the minerals. The subjects were "working class," primarily Hispanic, children, aged 6 to 12 years. Dramatic gains in certain measures of IQ were observed in about 20% of the supplemented children. These gains may have been due to the correction of specific nutrient deficiencies (for example, iron) found in these children. However, it was not possible in this study to identify which nutrients caused the increases in IQ. About Tropical Oasis Two Brothers, One Vision: To bring their customers better health and quality of life through proper nutrition. You try to eat nutritious, natural, and healthy foods, but consistently eating a balanced diet is hard to do. Their goal is to provide you with quality nutritional supplements to complete your healthy diet and give your body everything it needs to stay healthy and youthful. They want you to know them, their products, and their mission. Dear Friends, Seldom do we know where the things we buy come from or why they were made. I feel it is important to tell those stories, and for that reason I would like to share with you their story and the reasons why they founded Tropical Oasis. In 1996, I was a struggling young salesman working out of my 1970's house in smoggy Houston, Texas. I remember contemplating my uncertain future as I sat in my drab spare bedroom/converted sales office, sipping on my daily dose of coffee. Little did I know that the coffee I was sipping, as well as everything I consumed made with my tap water, was slowing poisoning my system. Over the three years I had been in the house, I attributed my lagging speed and draining energy to job pressure and just getting older. Then, I discovered that the rusting iron pipes under my house had been leeching contaminants into every drop of water I drank. My brother Terry was living in Dallas at the time, and when I told him what had happened, he immediately sent me a bottle of liquid vitamin and minerals and insisted I start taking it as soon as it arrived. Soon after, I started feeling better, but then I broke out into a severe red rash all over my body. Worried about the rash and what could be causing it, I started researching nutrition, toxins, and contaminants. What I found was that my body was going into the first stages of detoxification with the help of the liquid supplements I was taking. After this experience, I realized the power and benefits of liquid nutritional supplements and delved deeply into learning more about nutrition. With my passion for more knowledge, I became a certified nutritional counselor and continued researching and reading all the latest studies regarding nutrition and dangerous toxins in our food supply, a practice I continue today. I saw a true need to create liquid supplements based upon the idea of cellular nutrition to battle the onslaught of toxins in our industrial world. And with that vision, together with my brother, they founded Tropical Oasis. A few years later, Inc. 500 listed Tropical Oasis as one of the fastest growing privately owned companies in America, and they haven't looked back since. They still hold true to their vision and strive to create the most effective supplements with the highest quality, natural ingredients available. They don't wait for government regulations to tell us something is unhealthy; they stay proactive to protect their health and yours. Each day brings new advancements and improvements that they continually incorporate into their product line. With over 20 products manufactured here in Texas, USA, you can feel safe knowing that products from Tropical Oasis are what they take for themselves and for our families. From all of us at Tropical Oasis, thank you for your trust and they wish you and your families the best of health! Chris and Terry Maher

|In response to Re: Installing Dishwasher, 1st timer here....
: Hi all,
: We are going to be getting a dishwasher soon,and have never ever had any experience with installing one or seeing one installed.We are do it yourselfers by nature and would like to do this ourselves as well.
: Could you all help us out??We have plenty of room, cabinets that can/will be removed,the location is right next to the kitchen sink,power supply close by,etc.So if it is not too much trouble could you walk us through this one from the beginning??
: Thank you so much in advance for the guidance.
: Brenda
The Dishwasher comes with adequate instructions included in it. The electrical power supply cord is sometimes not connected and you simply need to attach the black wire to black, white to white and green to the shiny brass screw or sometimes the brass screw is painted green for a ground. Electrically, the dishwasher should be protected by a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI)where you plug it in under the sink (The same place the garbage disposer is plugged in.) Water supply for the dishwasher will come from the same faucets that supply the sink. Right now you have a 90 degree valve for just the sink (one for each the hot and cold) You'll replace them with a two way valve that allows for connecting both the sink and dishwaster. You'll have to turn off the water at the house shutoff meter to remove these valves. They'll leak back about a half gallon of water when you disconnect them, so have a dishpan handy. Water drain will come from the dishwasher to the drain in the garbage disposer. There's a knockout in the disposer that allows you to connect the drain to it. Then when you cycle the dishwasher, it dumps its water into the garbage disposer to drain. The dishwasher is going to need an antisiphon vent to penetrate the countertop to allow the pumped out drain water to vent itself when not under pressure. The placement of this drain penetration is usually at the sink itself which has the penetration hole in it, but is covered by the countertop. Good luck.
Please be advised.....electricity, water, and a cramped work on your back attitude don't mix. The cost of the initial dishwasher installation by a LICENSED plumber will be three times less than the emergency service call to fix what goes wrong in the night.

Skip to comments.President Bush was Right, As Evidenced by This Months Sale of Saddams Uranium and More
Posted on 07/12/2008 7:22:49 PM PDT by Yomin Postelnik
If anyone doubts the need to have ousted Saddam, a news release in the past few days should put such doubts to rest. The report is that the US has sold 550 tons of yellowcake uranium that had been found in Iraq to Cameco, a Canadian company. The uranium will now be used as fuel and poses no severe risk if properly stored and sealed.
While the report contains no new information per se, it brings to the forefront pertinent facts that, while widely available, were also widely ignored. But when analyzing military and security matters, we can ill afford to ignore any factual information.
(Excerpt) Read more at canadafreepress.com ...
You sorry lyin' sack....
Now the Libtards will be saying we're making a profit off of this "illegal" war.
Many of todays Democrats like to tell tales of Bush lying (although the idea that a president, any president, would knowingly mislead a nation, at the expense of his reputation and legacy, is ridiculous and offensive to logic). They also like to chant the story line that there were no WMD in Iraq and even that Saddam posed no threat.
The far left socialist DemoRats pose a far greater threat to America than anything Saddam could have done. Think about that -— with what we know of the radical left and the frightening moron of a presidential candidate the socialists are trying to thrust upon America, let us now hear the lying, filthy far left talk of "no danger to America" ..... something they represent in spades!!!
That's another good point. The one case in Niger wasn't that clear (thanks to the "wonderful" work of French intel and then MI6 that went with it), but there were many more cases in which Saddam tried to get more uranium that the media wholly ignored.
Reminds me of their chant "no blood for oil," starting in 1990. We didn't take their oil in '90 and President Bush has been concerned with rebuilding Iraq, so we didn't take their oil, as at the very least, having a stable govt there that doesn't allow the place to become open to terrorist training camps is worth the cost of helping them rebuild. Because of that the Dems are mad that "we paid so much for Iraq and we didn't even get their oil."
Seems like there's really only one easy way to placate the left. It involves meds.
And this story will be featured on the front page, above the fold, in all the major U.S. newspapers on Monday. Well, maybe not. Gotta put those sob stories about illegal immigrant families out there.
The media is far worse than even the liberal Dems in DC, and far more radically left. That's why it's so important that we continually counter them with truth and facts, and do so in widespread ways and consistently.
His refusal to defend himself drives me nuts, but....
As he has said, they're still writing history books George Washington.
I guess he is counting on the long run.....
And I don't feel like pointing out his *&%^#$ faults on #^&*( issues tonite.....
If, after 911, he did NOT take the threat of Saddam's WMD falling into the hands of terrorists seriously enough to warrant invading Iraq and deposing the butcher, he would not have been worthy of the office he holds.
He leans to the left on some issues but he is a TRUE LEADER!! He has done his constitutional duty in an exemplary fashion!!
The best is that even Investors Business Daily wrote that this story would/should get a lot of media attention, except they seem to have another agenda.
The Right Brothers - Bush Was Right
Amen to that!
He could have also refined it just enough to be useful as a slow death dirty bomb. He could have sold it to bin laden. Or our friends, the mullahs, in Iran. Even Ghadaffi was in the market then. Kinda neat how that little pissant turned into a pussy post the Afghan war.
If I can figure this stuff out, I'm sure saddam could have. He could devise much worse. He didn't need the yellowcake to run the lights in Baghdad.
"If, after 911, he did NOT take the threat of Saddam's WMD falling into the hands of terrorists seriously enough to warrant invading Iraq and deposing the butcher, he would not have been worthy of the office he holds."
I don't disagree with that. Like the quote goes (by whom I don't know) "when it comes to national security, I'd rather be strong and wrong than right and weak". I still think Iraq would have been over with a long time ago if we had not played it the nicer and gentler way, but it's not as though a ton of terrorists haven't been killed and a strong message sent to the world.
The message that it if we get pushed as far as we were by the tragedy of 9/11, we will commit military violence upon our enemies. I just hope that next time it will be without regard for the well-being and prosperity of our enemies at the expense of thousands of our own military men and women. I just don't have faith in the muslim people as a whole. I wish I could but I do not based on their ideology that rivals naziism for the most hateful belief system of all time.
Ya beat me to it!
This was covered in another thread, but I will repeat it here. This uranium was known about and monitored by the UN weapons inspectors. This is not part of some "secret stash" that Sadam was secretly refining into a dirty bomb.
If you run off and claim this is evidence that Saddam had hiddden WMDs, the libtards will cut you to shreds and you will make us all look like fools.
"They also like to chant the story line that there were no WMD in Iraq and even that Saddam posed no threat.
It's a tragedy that Bush is so incompetent at letting the world know that he is doing the right things. Does he not want approval? Is he contemptuous of public opinion? If he had Reagan's gift for communicating, he'd have 65% approval ratings.
Excellent article, you nailed it. Do you have a link anymore information on the cauldrons? I knew that he had hidden parts and plans for centrifuges but was unaware of this.
Right, as far as it goes. The uranium was tagged, but not removed. It was still there for the day he decided to use it.
You'll remember that IAEA monitored North Korea's nuclear weapons program for 10 years with inspectors and video-cams while two miles down the road it continued right along. They confirmed that NK's weapons program had been discontinued "here". They didn't go looking for it "there", where it was.
Like the joke about the man looking for his car keys under the street lamp. Did you lose your keys here? No, lost them over there. So why are you looking here? Because the lights better here.
And you'll remember that, while the press claimed that Niger couldn't sell uranium under the table due to IAEA monitoring, the fact was that IAEA themselves admitted they weren't monitoring it at all.
Libya had two stashes of uranium. One they obtained years ago secretly from Niger and later admitted to. And another similar amount they smuggled in later, but didn't tell anyone about. From Niger.
But you're right. This is 500 tons of the stuff that everyone knew about which makes it inert. Somehow.
Herr Joe Wilson ist ein schmutziges faules betrügendes Floh gebissenes Kamel!
No abortions for votes!
The issue is clear. With regard to WMD, he had sarin and VX. A key part of the argument laid out in the column is that he didn't need nukes to be a threat, as evidenced by his other cavalier moves against the US that he took knowing full well of the risk of reprisal. That dangerous mentality is what made leaving gas weapons in his hands a huge threat in and of itself.
But the main point with regard to the uranium is that all that was needed to switch it back, to, in essence, reverse the isotopic dilution, was the acquisition of centrifuges or even the use of more primitive methods, which he had already used. That's almost as bad as saying he didn't have a bomb because he still needed to build a switch.
Libs can try to tear that to shreds, but they'd just show how wrong they are.
Thanks. Here's the link http://www.technologyreview.com/Energy/12981/
I just asked a dirty putrid cheating flea bitten camel whether he agreed. He asked not to be compared to the Wilsons. :)
I told a few Bush haters at work about this...their answer was that it was planted by the US government...sooo the liberals aren't believing this at all.
He says he forgives you, as he had the same problem when he nicknamed one very persistent and irritating flee "Mr. Wilson" a while back. He's still having trouble getting rid of "Wesley Clark," though.
I'd mention to them that the pile was well known to all since 1991. All the coalition could do was get the Russians to dilute it and then hope that Saddam didn't get centrifuges. Just looking at the UN weapons reports of what he had vs what he destroyed are telling, and that was all before Bush. We can't expect liberals to be responsive to logic, but it may stun them for a second.
Schicken Sie Herrn Kamel mein Beileid und eine Flasche Flohgift.
Very interesting. Thanks.
There is not logically way to talk to the liberals that I know, they are all blinded by hatred towards Bush and Republicans in general. If there was ever a more damning sign that evil is among us, it would be the fanning of the flames of hatred by the left.
Its a tragedy that Bush is so incompetent at letting the world know that he is doing the right things.
His will to fight and communicate have been one of the biggest problems we have lived with for the last eight years. We would probably have a RESPECTABLE, CONSERVATIVE, FIGHTING presidential candidate right now if Bush had provided the outspoken conservative LEADERSHIP that is incumbent upon the Repub President and party leader (implied only in this case). Too bad we lost that when Reagan passed on.
We are in for some hard times. I guess that is what it is going to take to get America's head out of its butt and start worrying AGAIN about America and THEIR freedoms.
Very welcome :)
Agreed. But we need to reach out to the sane, misguided people and hopefully make a dent in the insanity of some others. See also http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1990537/posts

Both countries evened their record at one win and one loss apiece.
Alexa Gray led the Canadian attack with 18 points, including two service aces, while team captain Megan Festival added 11.
Canadian coach Jesse Knight was delighted with the team's performance.
"I think we played great," she said. "We showed that we can compete at this level. After the first set we kept battling but couldn't adjust to the powerful attack of Dominican Republic."
The other Dinos team members are: Gbemisola Olutogun, Carly Heath, Jen Stephenson, Sarah Pradhan, Emmalyn Copping, Kacey Otto, Carolyn O'Dwyer, Rachael Lynch, Janelle Hoff and Mariah Walsh.
