Discontinued Product
IV S Greenhouse Kit - 108 sq. ft.
Sorry, the manufacturer is no longer producing this product.
Description & Highlights
Riga IV S Greenhouse Kit - 108 sq. ft.
The Riga (RIGA IV S KIT) is truly a greenhouse by the European definition of a greenhouse - designed to be used to grow fresh vegetables, herbs and flowers in the middle of winter. With a combination of strong materials and durable hardware, the Riga is by far the strongest greenhouse of its size under $10,000. One major advantage of the Riga's construction method is that the frame profiles are permanently attached to each other, and won't come loose over time due to wind pressures. The polycarbonate glazing on the Riga is German made and believed to be of superior quality then the much more common Polygal or GE glazing.
Designed, engineered, and manufactured in Germany by Hoklartherm, a leading manufacturer of commercial and hobby greenhouses and sun rooms, the Riga greenhouse features an incredible insulation factor of R-2.0. The Riga Hobby Greenhouse comes standard with 8mm polycarbonate on the roof and sidewalls and 10mm twin wall polycarbonate on the endwalls. No other hobby greenhouse kit on the market comes standard with this kind of insulation. This kit includes two (2) roof windows with automatic openers, one (1) large rear wall window, and one (1) locking Dutch door. The classic "onion" shape helps shed heavy snow loads during winter months.
Extremely Strong:This Riga greenhouse is constructed with an attractive rustproof aluminum frame, sturdy 8mm twin wall polycarbonate on the roof and side walls, and heavy duty 10mm twin wall polycarbonate on the end walls, all featuring German engineered slide-together assembly
True Reliability:The Riga greenhouse kit comes with a 15 year warranty on the frame and 10 years on the covering; the extruded aluminum frame is precision engineered and with polycarbonate installed, is strong enough to stand on
Simple, Yet Effective Design:The unique "channel" design of the aluminum components allows for simple "slide and fit" assembly, saving time and money, and easy to understand step by step assembly instructions are included with every structure

While Bob Merrill's songwriting credits speak for themselves, his talents are diverse including successful endeavors in screenplay writing, acting and teaching.
Born in Atlantic City in the city's pre-casino period, he did most of his growing up in the nearby Philadelphia area, graduating from high school there. Following his discharge from the Army at the end of World War II, Merrill took a job as a dialog director with Columbia Pictures in Hollywood where he stayed for seven years. During this time, he was also on the CBS-TV inaugurate team.
While working on a film for the company he met a woman named Dorothy Shay, a popular performer and singer known as the "Park Avenue Hillbilly," for whom he wrote several songs at her invitation. These later proved a popular part of her million-seller albums and the success encouraged Merrill to expand his songwriting activity.
The result was a highly successful career as a writer of both individual popular songs as well as Broadway show scores. One of his earliest songs was the novelty song If Id Known You Were Comin, Id Ve Baked a Cake, which was recorded by Ilene Barton. This success was followed by other successes including Honeycomb, recorded by Jimmie Rodgers; How Much Is That Doggie In the Window, recorded by Patti Page; Love Makes the World Go Round, Dont Rain on My Parade, Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, Mambo Italiano and Make Yourself Comfortable.
1961 produced the Merrill-Styne score for the smash Broadway hit Funny Girl. The show included one of the great stage standards People (Who Need People).
Merrill enjoyed a number of other Broadway successes as well. These included Take Me Along, with Jackie Gleason and Walter Pidgeon; Carnival with Anna Marie Alberghetti; New Girl in Town with Gwen Verdon and Thelma Ritter; and Sugar with Cyril Ritchard and Bobby Morse.
In his work with screenplays, Merrill authored the Diana Ross Paramount film, Mahogany, WC Fields and Me, a Universal release with Rod Steiger; Chu Chu and the Philly Flash starring Carol Burnett and Alan Arkin; and Portrait of a Showgirl a CBS movie of the week, starring Rita Moreno, Leslie Ann Warren and Tony Curtis.
Merrill also created for television several Christmas specials including The Wonderful Christmas of Red Riding Hood, with Liza Minnelli and Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol, with an all-star cast.
As an actor, during an earlier phase of his career, Merrill appeared in The Story of GI Joe and in his own words, "a dozen B films and westerns."
After a series of health problems, Bob Merrill took his own life on February 17, 1998 in Hollywood, California.

My dog recently had his spleen removed. He lost 14 pounds having the surgery.
Here's hoping it is benign.
I lost my "dog of a lifetime" to hemiangiosarc about 14 months ago. On ultrasound, the internist could see multiple spots in the spleen and part of the liver did not look right. Did a transfusion which really pepped her up. She felt so much better. Had a surgeon do the surgery as it is very difficult for me to be objective on my own dog. Removed the spleen and part of the liver. She recovered from surgery pretty well, they are tough. Histopath came back as hemiangiosarc, in the liver too. Did some chemo that did not hit her real hard but at the time for the 4th treatment, ultrasound showed large changes in he liver. We decided chemo was not working, oncologist suggested another type but I elected to stop. In another 2 weeks I had her euthanized, right after we shot 4 live pheasants for her last memories. Told my wife we will never do that again. If it comes up again as pretty obvious hemiangio I am going to give a transfusion and the week or so that it may give, then say goodbye. We got 3 months out of that treatment and surgery and she was OK 80% of the time. But we spent enough to pay for a semester of college for my daughter, now daughter #2 starts college. Only so many resources.
3 weeks before she showed any signs she was hunting with me in N. Dakota, she retrieved the last 2 birds of the trip and my first ever pintail drake, too bad it was way to immature to mount. I had her for just short of 13 years. Very cherished memories.

I see this is an older thread, but...
There have been some very encouraging results using yunnan baiyao, also called yunnan paiyao, (http://csuvets.colostate.edu/pain/Ar...iyao111206.pdf , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yunnan_Baiyao) in dogs with confirmed hemangiosarcoma.
While it can't cure the disease, it does seem to help with the internal bleeding, at least for the short term, thereby improving the dog's quality of life.
You may have to talk to a holistic veterinarian to get more information about it.
I always have a couple of the "emergency pills" in my first aid kit.

End of life decisions are always difficult. Are we making choices for ourselves, or our dogs? And then , of course, there are the expenses involved which can be staggering. I have just been through this with a 7 year old pointer. The diagnosis was grim, but we opted not to pursue oncologic options, choosing instead to put her on steroids which gave her a couple of weeks of good quality of life. This gave me time to enjoy her in a different way, and time for her to enjoy special meals and outings and lots of attention and affection. It didn't make the end much easier, but I felt we had made the right decision. One thing I refuse to feel about not choosing a more expensive option for any of my ailing animals is guilt.

It was cold, windy and spitting rain here last Wednesday. Visions of baseball were not easily conjured up.
Unless you were downtown about 4:30 p.m. That's when Dudy Gras 7.5 took place. It was a modest parade, but it was significant, because it means that as far as Mississippi State fans are concerned, baseball is here.
The season begins in less than two weeks, but those who take up residence behind the outfield wall at Dudy Noble Field already have their trucks set up. As you might know, these trucks are rigged with bleachers and grills and everything else a fan needs while watching a game.
But it's not so much about the trucks and the food, it's about the community that resides behind the outfield wall. The Left Field Lounge area has gained a well-earned reputation as a place where passion for MSU baseball runs deepest.
Former Bulldogs Ed Easley and Jeffrey Rea were co-grand marshals for the Dudy Gras parade, and they understand that passion.
left field lounge
"You go to every venue in the SEC, and you see so many different things, and everybody has extended their skyboxes and things of that sort. But nobody's got a Left Field Lounge," said Rea, MSU's all-time hits leader.
Hardy Mitchell has been a Left Field Lounger since the mid-1980s. He worked for MSU back then as assistant athletics director for facilities and game operations, and he helped the outfield fan section become a little more organized.
So Mitchell understands as well as anyone the dynamic of Left Field Lounge. It's like a community within the greater MSU fan community.
"Everybody knows everybody," he said. "We have had the same people on either side of us for 25 years. So you get to know them. If you need a little baseball water or salt and pepper or extra hamburger patty or bun or baked beans or whatever, you share."
Hobie Hobart, a local restaurateur, was sitting around with some friends eight years ago, and they were discussing MSU baseball. They decided something more needed to be done to promote the passionate fans.
So they organized a parade that starts at Rick's American Cafe downtown and ends at Dudy Noble Field. That first parade didn't go off because of sleet and rain, so the participants retired to Mugshots, "and (we) gave ourselves half-credit," Hobart said.
Several of the rigged-out trucks were already in place at Dudy Noble before Wednesday's parade, but it's the spirit of the thing that matters.
Several years ago, Mitchell had a guest at his Left Field Lounge spot – Jim Kaat, the former Major League pitcher. Kaat was doing color commentary for ESPN on this particular weekend in the late '80s.
"He was out there, and I was talking to him one night," said Mitchell, "and he said, 'I've been all over the world with the game of baseball, and this is a unique place in the world of sports.' He said, 'I've never seen anything else like it.'"

Alessi is a family owned Italian design company, founded in 1921. Giovanni Alessi, a talented sheet metal worker, produced items by hand for the table and home out of copper, brass and nickel-silver. He was later joined by his son Carlo who was responsible for many of the designs produced in the 1930s and early 1940s. In the mid 1940s Alessi began to work with outside designers. The current Alessi catalog is the result of a collaboration with over 500 designers from all over the world.
"A true work of design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. From this point of view, design intended to conjure up images in people's minds, which makes them a bit happier, still has tremendous potential." --Alberto Alessi

The canned goods were nestled all snug down below(one never knows when you'll have to lie low).With solar-fueled heat, and first aid, and a map,We felt quite secure settling in for a nap.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.Away to the window I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snowGave the luster of mid-day to zombies — oh no!Yes, what to my wondering eyes had appeared?A troupe of the undead, a sight much afeared.
With a little old leader, so dead-eyed and dumb,I knew in a moment the End Times had come.More hungry than tigers the monsters they stared;I quickly reviewed everything we'd prepared.
"We're ready for anything," my lover had said,"We've got ammo and matches and stuff to make bread."We've got paracord, axes, and batteries too,"All of these items will help us get through."
Our cordwood was stacked and our gas cans were filled,As was the freezer with meat that we'd killed.I knew how to can and how to preserve;We even had freeze-dried hors d'oeuvres.
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of some little hooves.As I drew in my head and was turning around,Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.
He was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.A bundle of tools he had flung on his back,And he looked like Bear Grylls, just opening his pack.
His eyes — how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,"I'm here," he said suavely, "to save you, you know."
The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,As he pulled out a knife stuck into a sheath."You'll need this," he said, handing it over."And don't you think you should have a Land Rover?"
He really was right: O'er the landscape of Maine,Four-wheel drive would help in the rugged terrain.Who was this old man, a survivalist master?With all tools on hand to avert any disaster?
He smiled at me then turned back to his work,And filled all the stockings, with seeds and dry jerk.Laying a finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!
He sprang to his sleigh, gave the zombies the finger,And they sure didn't look like they wanted to linger.Then I heard him exclaim, "I'm the best Santa alive!"With these Christmas gifts, you're sure to survive!"

Dowling's portrayal of Walyer, a Tasmanian Aboriginal woman resistance fighter, is a rallying cry of opposition. Dowling's protagonist, standing like an antipodean Bodicea, is a culture warrior, overturning the myth of passive submission.
George Augustus Robinson, a former missionary, and Chief Protector of the Aborigines in the Port Phillip District (Victoria) from 1839 to 1849, referred to Walyer as 'an Amazon'. Shortly after her capture in 1830, she died on 5 June 1831 from another insidious gift from the colonists: influenza. She had fought on behalf of her people with bravery and tenacity in a war for which no memorials exist.
Walyer (aka Te Nor and Tarenorerer), a Plair-Leke-Liller-Plue woman from Tasmania, was abducted in her teens by men from another tribe and traded to sealers for flour and dogs. Such transactions occurred as Tasmanian Aboriginal people's lives were disrupted by encroaching European settlement. Sealers took Aboriginal women for labour and as sexual commodities. During her time with the sealers, Walyer learnt English and how to use firearms. She escaped in 1828 and joined the Lairmairrener group of Emu Bay. In 1830, colonial authorities reported that Walyer was leading violent attacks against settlers and other Aboriginal groups. She and her group used muskets in these assaults, which was previously unprecedented in Aboriginal attacks.
Walyer represents to me the hundreds of women who fought for their land against the invading colonial forces. Walyer also represents the women of today who see that their struggle has never ceased in obtaining rights for their people over their land and lore. I painted Walyer gesturing towards a group of colonial houses in the distant right. The moon shows light from behind the clouds, outlining her cloaked body as she holds two guns. She is gesturing to the viewer as if they were one of the fighters she has assembled to battle the colonial encroachments upon their land and hers.
There is a road carved into the trees under the distant mountains leading to the houses, which have smoke coming out of their chimneys, signifying their occupancy. Walyer stands in action, holding a fowler's rifle with a small flintlock pistol held in the belt around her skirt. She wears a bookah (kangaroo cloak), a shell necklace and clay ornamentation covers her hair.
This painting is about early historical interactions between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in Australia. First contact relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people in the colonies reveal much about the divide that continues to exist today and this painting is about what we can learn from such engagements. Aboriginal people use their oral histories as well as written historical records from non-Aboriginal colonial perspectives to construct racial consciousness and visions of Aboriginal self-determination.
I have painted the stories of Aboriginal resistance fighters to grapple the construction of the hero in art. Romanticism was widely used in early colonial art in Australia emphasising Rousseau's theory of the noble savage. These early power relations must be highlighted so that we can see how nationalism and imperial sentiment were constructed. As an Aboriginal person, I feel that it is important to understand colonial art practices brought here and how they can be used for decolonisation. By using the colonial romantic imagery of Aboriginal people as a tool, I can inform non-Aboriginal people of the denial of Aboriginal culture in current representations of Australian history.
Julie Dowling, 2006

[ Retro Scan of the Week ] The Cave BBS Turns 20November 26th, 2012 by Benj Edwards
Twenty years ago yesterday, I set up a BBS for the first time. The Cave BBS. Admittedly, it was nothing more than a bare-bones system run through
Procomm Plus' Minihost module Minihost, but it was a start. Within a few weeks (with a brief detour running VBBS for a few days), I had a full-fledged WWIV BBS setup running on a Tandy 1800 HD laptop with a 2400 BPS modem.
Brief aside — I can't find a copy of that ProComm Plus MiniHost for MS-DOS software anywhere — does anyone have it? I have the terminal emulator part, but not the MiniHost.] [ Update 11/27/2012 - Thanks to Jim Carpenter (see comments) for helping me find it! ]

The signs and symptoms of overdosage are those of hyperthyroidism (see PRECAUTIONS and ADVERSE REACTIONS). In addition, confusion and disorientation may occur. Cerebral embolism, shock, coma, and death have been reported. Seizures have occurred in a child ingesting 18 mg of levothy-roxine. Symptoms may not necessarily be evident or may not appear until several days after ingestion of levothyroxine sodium.
Treatment of Overdosage
Levothyroxine sodium should be reduced in dose or temporarily discontinued if signs or symptoms of overdosage occur.
Acute Massive Overdosage
This may be a life-threatening emergency, therefore, symptomatic and supportive therapy should be instituted immediately. If not contraindicated (e. g. , by seizures, coma, or loss of the gag reflex), the stomach should be emptied by emesis or gastric lavage to decrease gastrointestinal absorption. Activated charcoal or cholestyramine may also be used to decrease absorption. Central and peripheral increased sympathetic activity may be treated by administering β-receptor antagonists, e. g. , propranolol, provided there are no medical contraindications to their use. Provide respiratory support as needed;control congestive heart failure and arrhythmia;control fever, hypoglycemia, and fluid loss as necessary. Large doses of antithyroid drugs (e. g. , methimazole or propylthiouracil) followed in one to two hours by large doses of iodine may be given to inhibit synthesis and release of thyroid hormones. Glucocorticoids may be given to inhibit the conversion of T4 to T3. Plasmapheresis, charcoal hemoperfusion and exchange transfusion have been reserved for cases in which continued clinical deterioration occurs despite conventional therapy. Because T4 is highly protein bound, very little drug will be removed by dialysis.
Levothyroxine is contraindicated in patients with untreated subclinical (suppressed serum TSH level with normal T3 and T4 levels) or overt thyrotoxico-sis of any etiology and in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Levothyroxine is contraindicated in patients with uncorrected adrenal insufficiency since thyroid hormones may precipitate an acute adrenal crisis by increasing the metabolic clearance of glucocorticoids (see PRECAUTIONS). LEVOTHROID® (levothyroxine sodium) is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any of the inactive ingredients in LEVOTHROID® tablets (see DESCRIPTION, Inactive Ingredients).This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.

Integers and rational numbers are important in daily life. The price per square yard of carpet is a rational number. The number of frogs in a pond is expressed using an integer. The organization of real numbers can be drawn as a hierarchy. Look at the hierarchy below.
Real numbers are all around us. The majority of numbers calculated are considered real numbers. This chapter defines a real number and explains important properties and rules that apply to real numbers. The most generic number is the real number; it can be a combination of negative, positive, decimal, fractional, or non-repeating decimal values. Real numbers have two major categories: rational numbers and irrational numbers. Irrational numbers are non-repeating, non-terminating decimals such as or . In this chapter, you will learn how to perform operations and solve problems involving rational numbers and integers, which are a special kind of rational number.

Chapter Summary
This chapter talks about the properties of rational numbers and how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide them. It also shows how to add integers and covers additive inverses, absolute values, reciprocals, and the distributive property. Square roots and irrational numbers are discussed as well, and how to classify and order real numbers is explained in detail. Finally, many real-world problems are given, and the chapter concludes by going over the guess and check and working backward problem-solving strategies.

Talk focuses on welfare reform, Oct. 11
Posted October 5, 2006; 01:00 p.m.
A lecture on welfare reform titled "Getting Dads to Pay and Work: A New Father's Agenda" is set for 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Presenting the lecture are Robert Doar, commissioner of the New York State Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, and Lawrence Mead III, a professor of politics at New York University.
Doar, a member of Princeton's class of 1983, oversees the New York state agency that administers welfare and other assistance programs. His work in child support enforcement earned him a Golden Heart Award from the Association for Children for the Enforcement of Support, a child support advocacy group.
Mead is an authority on the politics and implementation of welfare and has played an integral role in shaping welfare reform in the United States and abroad. His book "Government Matters," which examined welfare reform in Wisconsin, was a co-winner of the 2005 Louis Brownlow Book Award, given by the National Academy of Public Administration. Mead has consulted with federal, state and local governments and has testified numerous times before Congress on issues of poverty, welfare and social policy.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Center for Research on Child Well-Being as part of the "Researcher Meets Policy-Maker" lecture series.

Chapter 7: Organizing and Displaying Data
The local arena is trying to attract as many participants as possible to attend the community's "Skate for Scoliosis" event. Participants pay a fee of $10.00 for registering, and, in addition, the arena will donate $3.00 for each hour a participant skates, up to a maximum of 6 hours. Create a table of values and draw a graph to represent a participant who skates for the entire 6 hours. How much money can a participant raise for the community if he/she skates for the maximum length of time?
This problem will be revisited later in the chapter.
When data is collected from surveys or experiments, it is often displayed in charts, tables, or graphs in order to produce a visual image that is helpful in interpreting the results. From a graph or table, an observer is able to detect any patterns or trends that may exist. The most common graphs that are used in statistics are line graphs, scatter plots, bar graphs, histograms, frequency polygons, circle graphs, and box-and-whisker plots.

Chapter Summary
This chapter covers various ways of representing data, and how to use them to calculate certain measures. The types are summarized in the following table:
|Graph Type
|Line graph
|Basic plot in two dimensions, where the points are connected if the variable is continuous.
|Broken-line graph
|Graph that connects points by straight lines to show change over time, so the line has no defined slope at the corners.
|Scatter plot
Graph that plots one quantity on the
|Pie chart
|A circle that is divided into sections (slices) according to the percentage of the frequencies in each class.
|Stem-and-leaf plot
|A graph that splits each data point into "stem" and "leaf", putting all leaves with the same stem on the same line.
|Bar graph
|A plot made of bars whose heights (vertical bars) or lengths (horizontal bars) represent the frequencies of each category.
|A graph in which the classes, or bins, are on the horizontal axis and the frequencies are plotted on the vertical axis. The frequencies are represented by vertical bars that are drawn adjacent to each other.
|Frequency polygon
|A graph that uses lines to join the midpoints of the tops of the bars of a histogram or to join the midpoints of the classes.
|Box-and-whisker plot
|A graph of a data set in which the five-number summary is plotted. 50 percent of the data values are in the box, and the remaining 50 percent are divided equally on the whiskers.

Remember when some of us were worried those '78-style figures would be ordered over the regular ones by stores because they're cheaper, and no one would buy them and they'd pegwarm hard, but only a lucky few would find the other figures because stores, being stores, would assume the lackluster performance of the "Dollar General" line represented a lack of interest in Star Wars altogether?
Yeah, who's laughing now? Okay, not me, because it would be nice to see some real Star Wars figures.

Eryn Leonard runs away from the field in the 1600-meter run at Moffat County's home track meet, the Clint Wells Invitational. As of last weekend, Leonard is a state qualifier in the 3,200 and the 4x800 relay. Leonard and her coaches attribute her success in endurance sports to a strong sense of commitment and an ability to focus on the race at hand.

"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it." Henry Ford
Better oversight and stricter enforcement of current law would be a start including Anti trust laws. I don't think you inhibit free enterprise when you make those involved honest.
Perhaps the real question should be why just two parties?
". Get out of the gay marriage argument. Same goes for abortion. You can't win and it drives people away from the party. A big part of the reason that we have Obama, Pelosi and Reid leading our country right now. "
This alone has cost more Republicans seats than any other subject. Let it fade away, because nothing is ever going to change it and harping on it will only continue to lose elections. It should not be national party platform material.
Never trust a dog to watch your food!
I like your ideas, but they reach too far. They're much too wonkish for the average American to try to understand. Moreover, the liberal media wear their bleeding hearts on their sleeve and remain nothing more than cheerleaders for democrats/liberal causes. Any mature discussion about issues that aren't totally clear-cut/black and white goes right out the window because the media can and does shape the discussion. And I assure you it won't be shaped in the GOP's direction.
What the GOP needs is The Contract With America II. A list of easily understood positions with realistically attainable goals. Then they need to find and support candidates that are committed to those contract items. As an example, here's what would be on my list:
1. Government can't even run itself competantly. Why should we be expected to run GM any differently? I pledge that I will vote and fight against any additional federal takeovers of any industry.
2. Nobody bails out the American Taxpayer if he can't pay his bills. I pledge that I will vote and fight against any additional government bailouts of any industry.
3. The government, like American Taxpayers, must learn to spend less when economic times are tight. I will fight for an across-the-board, 10% cut in the existing budget of EVERY government agency and program except veterans healthcare.
4. I will vote to reduce Congressional travel and junkets by 50%.
5. I will vote for an independent accounting firm to review the finances of any Congressional member, their spouse, immediate family or staff whose net worth increases by more than 20% in a calender year per their filed income tax report. The independent accounting firm will provide the results in an open session of Congress (not to some committee where the results can be buried).
6. I will vote against any effort to make the government responsible for, or providing oversight, to healthcare. Again, we don't seem to be handling our current responsibilities all that well. Do you want us in charge of your family's health, too?
7. Social security is a pending crisis in this country. How can we be expected to faithfully fix it when we have our own cozy retirement perks guaranteed? I will support and vote for legislation that abolishes Congressional retirement benefits for elected officials. If 401ks, Roth IRAs, and Social Security are good enough for you, they should be good enough for Congress, too.
8. The military is not a private airline for Congress. Any taxpayer-funded trip undertaken by a member of Congress or their staff will be on a commercial airline in coach or business class. No more first class travel.
9. Oil exploration, extraction and refining is infinately cleaner and more environmentally friendly than in the past. I will support any legislation that supports drilling here and drilling now.
10. I vow to fight tooth and nail any future environmental regulations that negatively impact our economy or way of life. I will not ask the American Taxpayer to pay more for their energy needs while fellow members of Congress traipse around the world in chartered military jets to the Virgin Islands and Paris.
I dunno...something along those lines would be nice.
I'll take the river down to still water and ride a pack of dogs.
What about illegal immigration/secure boarders? Can we really have National Security with open boarders?
10% cut of the budget? With the TRILLIONS the current administration is spending, shouldn't those cuts be much deeper?
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
What about Tort Reform?
Many doctors have quit practicing because they feel like they are working just to pay thier premiums.
Serious Tort Reform would get the support of the AMA members.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
I agree that those are both good issues to be addressed. In my opinion, border security falls into strong national defense and war on terror but must be addressed.
Matt McKenzie
"Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it." Henry Ford
I agree with your post. The problem I have with much conventional thinking when it comes to the GOP is that they have been beaten senseless by the Dems when it comes to message. Lots of people already believe that Republicans don't like blacks, don't like poor people, don't like hispanics, etc, etc, etc etc. Part of the reason the Dems have won that battle is that the Republicans spend too much time defending themselves. In my opinion, they should stop trying to disprove those ridiculous ideas and simply come out with a strong message on what they are FOR. For example, coming out strong for border security will likely offend some Hispanic voters. So what? The kind of Hispanic voter that wants illegal aliens in this country is never going to vote Republican, anyway. The GOP has already proven that groveling and kissing their butts doesn't work. Why not stop trying to win the "black vote", "hispanic vote", "gay vote", "independent vote", "AARP vote", etc. and try to win the "American vote"? Come out strong on basic, conservative ideas and let the chips fall where they may. It has been proven that when the message is properly conveyed, it works. The problem is the politicians can't stay the course. The GOP needs fewer politicians and more statesmen.

Fraknoi Named to Royal Astronomical Society of Canada
Honor Bestowed on Only 15 Living People at a Time
November 18, 2011
Foothill College Astronomy Instructor Andrew Fraknoi
Foothill College Astronomy Instructor
Andrew Fraknoi
has been elected an honorary member of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada (RASC). The prestigious honor is bestowed on only 15 living people at a time. The chairman of the astronomy department at Foothill College in Los Altos Hills, Calif., Fraknoi appears to be the first community college educator selected for this honor in the 143-year history of the RASC.
"Since the Society has a rule that there can be no more than 15 honorary members living at any given time, I am tremendously honored to be included in a group that now includes Stephen Hawking and once included such noted astronomers as Harlow Shapley and Ejnar Hertzsprung," Fraknoi said. "I have devoted the largest portion of my professional life to helping students understand the universe better and helping other educators (from primary school to college level) convey the excitement and power of science more effectively. Since this kind of work often goes unsung, it is especially gratifying that the Society has chosen to honor me for my work in education."
Founded in 1868, RASC is Canada's leading astronomy organization bringing together more than 4,200 professional scientists, enthusiastic amateurs and educators. Other current honorary members of the Society include British astrophysicist Prof. Stephen Hawking, Sir Patrick Moore, the prominent explainer of astronomy in England, Prof. P. J. E. Peebles, the award-winning cosmologist at Princeton University, Prof. Owen Gingerich, the noted historian of astronomy at Harvard University, and Julieta Fierro, one of Mexico's most distinguished astronomy popularizers. Over the course of the society's long history, a remarkable roster of leading astronomers outside Canada have been elected honorary members.
"Some of the astronomers I have most admired over the years have been honorary members of the RASC -- Dr. Bart Bok, for example, whose work helped reveal characteristics of our Milky Way Galaxy, and whose public enthusiasm for astronomy was infectious or Allan Sandage, who continued and elucidated Hubble's work on the expanding universe and who served as an active member of the board of directors of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific when I was executive officer. To be thought of in the same category as these scientists is indeed a staggering honor," Fraknoi said.
Fraknoi teaches astronomy and physics for poets to more than 900 students each year at Foothill College. Named the California Professor of the Year in 2007 by the Carnegie Endowment for Higher Education, he has also received the Gemant Prize of the American Institute of Physics for a lifetime of contributions to physics popularization and connecting physics to the humanities. Before coming to Foothill, he served as the executive director of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific (which is, in many ways, the counterpart of the RASC in the United States.) The International Astronomical Union has named Asteroid 4859
Asteroid Fraknoi
to honor his contributions to the public understanding of astronomy.
Fraknoi's professional passion is sharing the excitement of astronomy with students, teachers and the public at large. He has recently begun offering a Facebook page that is called
The Astro-Prof
about astronomical developments. Access
The Astro-Prof
. He founded Project ASTRO, a national program in which volunteer astronomers adopt a 4th–9th grade classroom and work with the teachers to bring a hands-on astronomy experience to the students. An offshoot, called Family ASTRO, provides games and activities that families can engage in to increase their understanding of astronomy. He is also the co-author of a leading college textbook in astronomy, and has published a children's book for Disney called
Disney's Wonderful World of Space
. The mammoth resource guide for teaching astronomy that he edited, called
The Universe at Your Fingertips
, has recently been updated and issued as a DVD-ROM by the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Fraknoi was co-founder of the online journal
Astronomy Education Review
, which is now published by the American Astronomical Society.
Citing his work in education and public outreach, RASC National President Mary Lou Whitehorne nominated Fraknoi to be an honorary member of the society. "His work represents the global gold standard in astronomy education and outreach. He has inspired many to follow in his footsteps. He is nothing short of phenomenal--passionate, inspiring, dedicated and caring. I have used, and marvelled at, his work for over two decades. He has been my personal role model for over 20 years and is unquestionably deserving of honorary membership status."
Educated at Harvard University and the University of California, Berkeley, Fraknoi appears regularly on local and national radio programs explaining scientific ideas and discoveries in everyday language. He is the astronomer-in-residence on the syndicated
Mark and Brian
radio program and appears in San Francisco on KGO's
Gil Gross Show
and the
program with Michael Krasny on KQED. One of his interests is the scientific search for intelligent life in the universe, and he currently serves as the vice chairman of the board of trustees of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute. He is also a Fellow of the California Academy of Sciences. A full biography and a sampling of his writings is available online at

I've been getting all nostalgic this week with some great toys sent to the kiddywinks by John Adams, the first of which was Tiny Tears.
Tiny Tears was the first fully functional feeding, crying and wetting doll and it's hard to believe that she's nearly 40 years old! She's been slightly updated for 2012 and now wears a beautiful spotty pinafore with a matching pink headband in her shoulder length blond hair. She also comes with a potty, pair of knickers, feeding bottle, dummy and her very own hairbrush.
As soon as Tiny Tears arrived at our house Joseph claimed her for his own, Imogen did not get a look in. At roughly 35 cm she's the perfect size for him and very sturdy which is good because Joe can play rough! She's a hard bodied doll (so she can be bathed) and has jointed limbs making it easy for her to be sat on the potty or in a toy pushchair.
Joseph loves feeding her although I haven't allowed the bottle to be filled with water yet, as the base is curved and can't stand up meaning there'd be water all over children and floors. Unfortunately these means that they haven't been able to use the wetting function either but to be honest I think Joseph is a bit too young to appreciate it at the moment.
After a long day, Joseph will tuck Tiny Tears into bed with him. I think it's safe to say that they are best friends and are very rarely seen apart!

I know this has come up in passing, but I don't think I have read an answer to this yet. How did the Lars family get their speeder, which was tucked waaaayyyy back in the garage, out onto the surface? I know that speeders are supposed to work on repulsor lifts, but are they strong enough to get them to the surface? Was there a secret garage door? How the heck did the T-16 get out, too?!! It looked like it was jammed way in there!!!
I know I shouldn't ask because I'm gonna get some smart ***** answers, but hey- I can't wait to hear those either!!

Brian Hartline - WR - Dolphins
The player rep for free agent Brian Hartline said the deal with the Dolphins isn't done quite yet.
Drew Rosenhaus took to the radio on Thursday morning to stir the pot. "If it doesnt happen with Dolphins, he'll get a lucrative deal w another team very quickly," the super-agent said. From the looks of things, there are just a few details to be ironed out. An official announcement on the deal is still expected before free agency opens on Tuesday.

Building Peaceful Communities
Launched in 2009, Project NIA is an advocacy, organizing, popular education, research, and capacity-building center with the long-term goal of ending youth incarceration. We believe that several simultaneous approaches are necessary in order to develop and sustain community-based alternatives to the system of policing and incarceration. Our mission is to dramatically reduce the reliance on arrest, detention, and incarceration for addressing youth crime and to instead promote the use of restorative and transformative practices, a concept that relies on community-based alternatives.
Project NIA facilitates the creation of community-focused responses to youth violence and crime.
Our goals are
- To empower diverse community members to take leadership in addressing issues faced by youth impacted by the juvenile justice system.
- To develop effective community-based (rather than criminal legal) means of accountability for violence and crime – using a restorative and transformational justice approach.
- To eradicate youth incarceration.
Project NIA supports youth in trouble with the law as well as those victimized by violence and crime, through community-based alternatives to the criminal legal process, and we partner with numerous stakeholders to create such alternatives. We advocate for redirecting resources from youth incarceration to youth opportunities.
In Swahili, NIA means "with purpose." Ultimately, the main purpose for Project NIA is to prepare communities to get involved in creating an effective strategy to address violence and crime.

|Writing Workshop at 14th St. on the High Line.
|Poetry Slam w/ DJ Dooga & poets from the film at The Lot (30th St. btw. 10th & 11th Ave.)
|Film Begins
|Filmmaker/Subject Q&A
In the Lot, Near the High Line
Southwest corner of West 30th Street and 10th Ave, New York, NY 10001
C/E to 23rd Street and 8th Avenue, 1 to 23rd Street & 7th Avenue
Rooftop Films brings the power of poetry to the streets of New York with this documentary about lives and language on the edge: three teens from the Bronx tell their stories and show how a radical poetry class can ignite change.
Rooftop Films will be hosting a free youth "power writing" workshop, a live poetry slam, and a screening of the award-winning documentary "To Be Heard." The event will be presented in partnership with The Fledgling Fund.
To Be Heard (Edwin Martinez, Roland Legiardi-Laura, Deborah Shaffer, Amy Sultan) tells the story of three teenagers who find friendship and empowerment through writing. As a celebration of their triumphs, Rooftop Films and the filmmakers will be offering a free "power writing" workshop to local teenage aspiring writers, and creating a showcase for emerging writers to read their work in a public poetry slam.
The writing workshop is free to the public. To participate, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Together with the creators of the critically acclaimed documentary film To Be Heard, the Power Writing program will be hosting an afternoon of spoken word workshops and a slam poetry competition. Starting at 4pm, 25 high school students have the opportunity to participate in a workshop entitled, "Make 'em HEAR You." Through small group lessons, writing challenges, and a chance to debate which 2011 music artist is the best at getting his/her point across, students will leave the workshop with at least one poem they can feel proud of. Workshop participants will also get a free To Be Heard / Power Writers t-shirt.
Following the "Make 'em HEAR You" workshop, an outdoor poetry slam will begin at 7:00. Participants of the workshop are strongly encouraged to compete in this event. However, if they're not quite ready for the limelight, students can use their newly honed appreciation for effective poetry to help the rest of the audience choose a winner. Prizes will be available for different poets.
Students and alumni from Power Writing classes--including the stars of To Be Heard--will also be competing. This slam is open to the public and will be a perfect prelude to the film screening at 8:15pm.
To Be Heard (Edwin Martinez, Roland Legiardi-Laura, Deborah Shaffer, Amy Sultan | New York, NY | 87 min.)
To Be Heard transcends the confines of an advocacy film, but it's hard to come away from it with anything other than absolute encouragement for the arts in schools. The filmmakers are developing a social media campaign designed to empower and give voice to the unheard in our city via text message. At Rooftop we work in New York City public schools and we've seen firsthand how artistic expression can open up possibilities for students who never thought they had them. Early in the film, Pearl reveals a list of her good and bad traits, which she keeps on her bedroom wall, and it's heartbreaking to read that her bad traits include "big," "black" and "ghetto." But the Power Writers program has a motto: If you don't learn to write your own life story, someone else is going to write it for you. It's through the process of writing down these feelings that Pearl and the others begin to overcome these insecurities to see their own potential.
This is not to say that To Be Heard has some happy Hollywood ending. The students continue to live in neighborhoods where a $6/hour job at McDonald's doesn't compare to the money you make hustling dime bags on the corner (and at least hustling you can make your own hours.) These teens are still raised by single mothers and they "step over dead bodies like it's just another day." One of their teachers, Joe, tells them that he can't teach them what he knows, only how he knows, and each of these students takes away life lessons that will carry them through whatever it is they face in the future. The opening shot of the film, with all its overbearing New York noise, frames what these teens are up against, and by the end of the film, their voices have definitely been heard.
Rooftop is thrilled to be screening To Be Heard here in the Bronx, and we hope you'll spread the word about the Power Writers program and the film's advocacy campaign. Visit their website to learn how you can get involved.

Remarks on Newtown, Connecticut
Dear Friends,
Yesterday afternoon, against the background of a gloriously beautiful day, we were told that a young man wearing combat gear and armed with semiautomatic pistols and a semiautomatic rifle killed 26 people at a Newtown, Connecticut elementary school – a massacre, whose enormity exceeded our capacity to comprehend it when we also learned that 20 of the dead were children between the ages of 5 – 10. Other victims included teachers and staff, the custodians of early childhood education, going about their business of teaching and learning. The suspect is dead, as, too, is his mother, who died in another location.
When I heard the news, I was driving in my car with my 13-year old daughter sitting next to me. We listened in stunned silence. Then we cried and held hands. And then we talked.
President Obama said that our hearts were broken. And indeed, they were.
If you were like me, there were other emotions as grief contended with anger and fear and disbelief.
I am certain that you join me in extending our thoughts and prayers to all who were touched by this heartbreaking tragedy. As far as we can ascertain, there are no members of the Emerson community who are related to the victims.
While we certainly do not wish to politicize such a tragic event, the senseless and shocking brutality visited on these innocent children and their teachers seems to have a national significance that implicates all of us and transcends what actually occurred, as awful as it was.
President Obama seems to have acknowledged as much when he said "we're going to have to come together and take meaningful action to prevent more tragedies like this, regardless of the politics."
A Safeway market in Tucson, Arizona; an espresso café in Seattle; a Sikh temple in Wisconsin; a theatre in Aurora; an office in Minneapolis; a shopping mall in Oregon: all of which were scenes of mass shootings since January 2011. And this is just a partial list.
It feels like an epidemic and amid our suffering and bewilderment, we reasonably ask, "When will it stop?"
Many of these killings had something in common: the victims died at the hands of someone who had both a fascination with, and easy access to, military or law enforcement grade assault weapons: guns that can hold up to a 100 rounds of ammunition without reloading and have no place in the hands of civilians.
Some people have asked that we pass laws that would severely restrict the ownership of guns capable of continuous firing or urge lawmakers to close the gun-show loophole, recognizing that 2 out 5 of legal gun sales take place at gun shows, on the internet and with private sellers, places where buyers are not subject to federal background checks. The assault weapons ban adopted by Congress in 1994 was permitted to expire eight years ago.
In contrast, other Americans view these restrictions as attempts to erode constitutionally provided rights of our citizens to keep and bear firearms under the Second Amendment.
After yesterday, however, it would seem nearly impossible for anyone with heads that think and hearts that feel to conclude that the status quo is acceptable.
When we return to campus in January, I am going to ask our commonwealth of learning to do what we do best: seek to make sense of the senseless, to comprehend the incomprehensible through debate and discussion, which, in turn, might lead to positive action.
We will be reaching out to thought leaders on the issue of gun violence and ask that they come to campus in order to engage with faculty, students and staff on this important issue.
In the meantime, as you go about your various holiday activities, regardless of your faith tradition, please keep Newtown, Connecticut in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you.

From Florio's PFT, this is what you get with Tebow, including the kind of obsessed supporters who invade, infest and interfere. It's true I'm spiritually Deistic and no fan of organized religion mostly because of what it breeds with it.., so granted, my opinions which may not be shared by many, but to me this is ****ing classic! Here you got a "true believer" with about as much connection to football as has Joan Rivers, actually wishing harm on Manning because he stepped in the way of The Baby Messiah. Thanks but no thanks.
Television evangelist Pat Robertson says the Denver Broncos didn't show enough loyalty toTim Tebow, and they may pay for it this season.After the Broncos signed Peyton Manning and traded Tebow to the Jets, Robertson said he thinks it demonstrates that Tebow isn't appreciated. And he said that if Manning's neck injury keeps him off the field, the Broncos will be sorry.
"I think the Denver Broncos treated him shabbily," Robertson said, via Mediaite.com. "He won seven games, he brought them into the playoffs, for heaven sakes. I mean, they were a nothing team. He rallied them together with spectacular last-minute passes and, you know, when they beat Buffalo — I mean, Pittsburgh, excuse me — it was a tremendous victory. And you just ask yourself, OK, so Peyton Manning was a tremendous MVP quarterback, but he's been injured. If that injury comes back, Denver will find itself without a quarterback. And in my opinion, it would serve them right."

Cybercrime is becoming common, leaving Kiwis vulnerable
The face of cybercrime is changing as criminals target social networking sites and mobile devices, and a new report says New Zealanders are vulnerable.
Two-thirds of online adults have fallen victim to cybercrime, a number that will only increase unless people become more aware of their vulnerabilities, internet security experts say.
Norton's Asia-Pacific and Japan vice-president, David Freer, said people knew about the dangers embedded in emails, such as the infamous Nigerian scams, but those hazards were now five years old.
"But the problem is all the threats have moved on from that," Mr Freer said. "Many of the threats are in the social networks, which are the new email ... and social networks have the advantage of working in a trusted environment so people believe links their friends send them."
Sixteen per cent of social network users in New Zealand have been victims of social cybercrime and 13 per cent reported someone had hacked into their profile and pretended to be them.
The two main forms of the online scams are either for monetary gain or to collect personal details to "create mischief".
Norton's annual cybercrime report estimated more than 900,000 New Zealanders fell victim to online criminal activity in the past 12 months, totalling more than $462 million in direct financial losses.
The worldwide survey interviewed a representational group of 500 New Zealanders about their cybercrime experiences and multiplied it to match the population.
Year on year they had seen a doubling in the number of threats.
Mr Freer said people needed to be aware of the fact that cybercrime had moved to social networks and mobile devices.
New Zealanders also needed to be more vigilant with changing their passwords and choosing secure combinations. In the past year, 34 per cent have been notified to change their password because it or their privacy had been breached.
NetSafe's chief executive Martin Cocker said the most secure passwords included a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
Not stranded, just hacked
An anonymous overseas hacker broke into Reuben Simpson's email and PayPal accounts, sending hundreds of messages to all of his contacts.
They were told to send money because Mr Simpson was stranded in England and needed to get home.
"At first I had no idea what was going on," he said.
The 19-year-old, from Beach Haven, had the bright idea to search his email account on Google and found it posted, along with his password, on a foreign website.
Mr Simpson, a university student and jazz singer, was one of thousands who had their privacy breached by Google in 2009, the time of his cyber attack.
Once he worked out what had happened, he quickly contacted Google so he could regain access to his gmail account and called PayPal. He didn't lose any money and none of his con-tacts believed he was stuck in England.

By The Denver Post
A feisty President Obama used his State of the Union address Tuesday night to double down on the progressive principles that won him a second term, challenging the GOP to come along for the ride.
The president outlined a sweeping list of political priorities that touched on many worthy goals – making preschool available to all children, expanding green energy development, comprehensive immigration reform, gun control and a broad infrastructure repair program.
Unfortunately, the president spent relatively little time on the problem many Americans say they find the most troubling – the federal debt.
Yes, he took it on. He acknowledged how spiraling health care costs are driving deficits, and talked about how the nation "must embrace the need for modest reform" of Medicare.
However, the recommendations he offered were fuzzy statements such as asking "more from the wealthiest seniors" and changing the way the government pays for Medicare.
Then, the president pivoted to what he said was the need to close loopholes and deductions for the wealthy and well-off.
If only the nation's budget problems were so easily solved.
Democrats, led by the president, must come to the table with meaningful entitlement cuts as a part of a balanced approach to get the country on firmer financial footing.
As the cold, hard math of the bipartisan Simpson-Bowles commission showed, the path there involves additional revenues, but also more painful reductions than Democrats favor.
The president's vision of government was one poised to nurture a nation recovering from wounds inflicted by the economic meltdown.
It was one of compassion for hard working Americans who are struggling, unable to get ahead.
But this vision for prosperity, however admirable, cannot be supported by a government with record debt that cannot even agree on a plan to heal itself.

Machete, bat-wielding robbers surprise homeowner
SPOKANE - It's not everyday you wake up to find two men, armed with a baseball bat and a machete, robbing your home but that's exactly what one man said happened early Sunday morning at his house near Corbin Park.
Austen Kost said around 5:30 a.m. on Sunday he received an unusual wake up call.
"I heard some commotion down here, yelling and then some pushing and shoving," he said.
Kost said he came downstairs to find two men robbing his house, one had a baseball bat, the other a machete. He says the robbers were ordering his roommates around.Machete, bat-wielding robbers surprise homeowner
"They were pretty much like holding them hostage, they are like take out everything in your pockets and bam an unknown variable comes in and the situation changes," Kost said.
Kost said one of men was about to slug him with the bat but suddenly changed his mind and took off down the alley.
Kost wasn't hurt, but said his roommate sustained some injuries.
"They hit him with a baseball hat in the head and the hand, broke his hand, I believe he had a concussion," Kost said.
According to Kost, the robbers made off with a flat screen tv and cell phone but they left some belongings including the machete and a cell phone.
"It's like leaving your ID," he said. "It's not the smartest thing to do."
Kost said he does not know the robbers.

Family: Plethodontidae, Lungless Salamanders view all from this family
Description 3-5 7/8" (7.6-14.9 cm). Ensatinas are the only salamanders with the tail constricted at base and 5 toes on hind feet. Plain brown or blackish above, whitish or yellowish below, with fine black dots; sometimes lighter mottling on back color. Base of limbs often light-colored. Costal grooves, 12-13. Male's tail often longer than body; female's shorter.
Breeding Late spring to early summer. Cluster of eggs laid underground, brooded by female. No aquatic larval stage.
Habitat Mainly Douglas-fir and vine maple forests; often under rotting logs and rocks.
Range Eastern Vancouver Island; sw. British Columbia south through w. Washington, Oregon, and into nw. California, along Coast Ranges and w. slopes of Cascade Range.
Discussion Ensatinas retire to burrows, caves, and crevices in dry or cold weather. Some authorities do not consider the Oregon Ensatina a subspecies, but merely a different geographical form of the Ensatina. The tails of Ensatinas will break off if grabbed by a predator, allowing the salamander to make its escape; the tail eventually grows back.
