Abalone fishery now officially closed in Sonoma County
The dying off of abalone since August throughout the diving areas of Sonoma County has been reported here.
It was attributed to a red tide, bacteria-laden water so called because it turns the water a red hue. It can have a devastating effect, such as the occurrence in August, when the ocean is so calm the sea can't break up the massive bacteria swarms.
Divers encountered dead or dying abalone throughout the Sonoma County coastal diving areas, and other sea creatures were affected, including such shellfish as mussels.
The California Fish and Game Commission on Sept. 15 voted to close the abalone fishery, and the Office of Administrative Law on Oct. 4 approved the emergency regulations for an abalone closure on the Sonoma County coast.
Abalone take years to mature, and the die-off of a large population of the shellfish could take many years to rebuild. There was no word when the abalone fishery might reopen.
Eagle Lake is finally fixed
A couple of years ago, there was an outcry about the dropping water level at Lassen County's Eagle Lake, something heavily attributed to the Bly Tunnel that allowed water to flow from the lake. The water has been utilized — by downstream flows in Willow Creek — by farmers and ranchers.
The Bureau of Land Management has control over the region, including the lake. The Bly Tunnel was its responsibility.
With the outcry, the BLM held hearings regarding the Bly Tunnel. Experts testified about the devastating effects the tunnel was having on Eagle Lake. More water was leaving the lake than entering.
Those who visited the lake over the years could testify to dropping water levels. At Spaulding Tract, it became a longer walk each year to get to the docks. There are two boat launching ramps at Spaulding Tract, but only one was useable and at times, that one was questionable.
The outcry continued after the bureau's original decision to leave Bly Tunnel as it was. This time, instead of only concerned citizens, including a scientist or two, the aid of Senator Ted Gaines was enlisted.
And finally, the BLM reversed its decision and the Bly Tunnel will be shut down. The BLM will shut off the valve in the pipe, cut it and then weld it so no one can turn it back on.
It will take years to reverse the effects of the Bly Tunnel pipeline. There is one stream feeding the lake — Pine Creek — and flows are wholly dependent on snowmelt. Hopefully, the lake level again will rise considerably higher than its level today.
Current fishing
Eagle Lake: With the temperature dropping, it's the time of year when trout start migrating from their deeper water haunts at the southern end of the lake. More and more can be found roaming around the shallower water of the big tulle patches around Spaulding Tract. You can nail a limit of trout simply flipping an unweighted night crawler, letting it sink on its own, and slowly jig it back. Or, drop anchor and float a crawler in the tulles. Between now and the lake's annual closure at the end of the day on Dec. 31, some big trout are historically taken.
American River: Anybody who's fished the river over the years knows how much algae growth has covered the gravel beds of the river. That alone isn't conducive to good spawning grounds for salmon. Over the past few months, hundreds of yards of fresh gravel have been placed in the river, which hopefully will make for better areas for the incoming salmon to lay their eggs. Time will tell.
In the meantime, the salmon fishery throughout the American River has been good and anglers are tallying good numbers of fresh-run Chinooks. Trolling or sitting at anchor with the lure being worked by the surface are working. The Nimbus Basin, Sailor Bar and deeper water holes are yielding salmon, and steelhead traditionally move in right behind the salmon, as they just love to munch on salmon eggs. There aren't big numbers now, but you can still put a steelie up to five pounds on a stringer. Just remember to have your Steelhead Report Card.
Lake Amador: The winter trout planting is hugely awaited by anglers. They raise a strain of Cutthroat-Rainbow known as Donaldson Trout. While they plant huge numbers in the catchable class of two pounds, they also put in large numbers of trophy-sized 5- to 10-pounders. It's pay to play, and it's a fishery you can be successful at without a boat. Most successful fishing is done on shore, in the cove by the boat launch, and from the rocky areas of the dam to the spillway. The planting program should start this week.
New Hogan Reservoir: This lake is best known for its big population of stripers. Because of the cooling weather, the recreational boating traffic has largely decreased and striper boils are more common. Find a boil, toss topwater gear, and you can get downright hammered. Poppers and Zara Spooks always work well.
New Melones: Trophy trout are the winter rule, and big trout already are showing up. Some German browns are easily hitting five pounds. Limits of trout are common. Brown trout aren't being caught in big numbers, but when you get bit, you're going to get a big one. The Glory Hole region has been a good trolling area. Just haul a shad-colored lure.
Camp Far West: Not much recreational boating traffic, and launching can still be accomplished at the North Shore. The Rock Creek arm has been producing pretty good numbers of bass. Drop shot for them.
Folsom Lake: Nobody can explain it, but bass fishing is still tough despite the cooling air and water temperature. You'll make several casts before you can convince a bass to bite. Best bet will be finding rock piles and slowly work plastics on a drop-shot rig or darthead. Those being caught are mostly down to 20 feet.

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) voted to keep the recreational harvest of snook in Gulf of Mexico waters closed for another year to offer the species additional protection after a 2010 cold kill detrimentally affected the population.
The decision came at the June 28 Commission meeting in Palm Beach Gardens after staff presented an updated stock assessment that showed snook populations are improving in the Atlantic and are not in biological jeopardy in the Gulf. The next assessment is due in 2015.
It's time, bay scallop harvesters! Get your snorkels, masks and dive flags ready. The recreational bay scallop harvest season began July 1.
The season is regularly open through Sept. 10, but at its June 28 meeting in Palm Beach Gardens, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) discussed extending the season by two weeks.
Bay scallops can be recreationally harvested in Gulf of Mexico state waters (shore to nine nautical miles) from the Pasco-Hernando County line to the west bank of the Mexico Beach Canal in Bay County.
From the Levy County Sheriff's Office:
NWS Tallahassee has advised that local flood warnings are still in effect for the Suwannee River basin. Sheriff Johnny Smith has decided to re-open all launch sites in the county. Should that prediction of rising water begin to cause problems on the Suwannee River, it could prompt a second closure. The situation will be closely monitored daily and advance warning of any impending boat ramp closures will be announced.
A recently deceased sub to young adult manatee was found on the Atsena Otie beach Thursday, by Laura O'Dell and the crew of a Tidewater Tours boat.
The tour company reported the finding to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
No obvious signs of trauma were seen at the time it was first found, except for signs of prior bleeding from the nose.
The FWC sent an officer out to the scene quickly, but weather, tide, and boat problems caused difficulty with its recovery.
The Lower Suwannee National Wildlife Refuge will host a Kids Photo Safari on Tuesday, June 19, from 9-1 p.m. at Refuge headquarters for grades 3 – 9. Digital cameras and nature journals are provided for the photographers to keep notes on what they see. Reserve your child's camera now. Ten slots are available - and it's all free.
A Chiefland woman was airlifted to Shands Hospital in Gainesville Saturday afternoon after a 70-pound sturgeon jumped out of the Suwannee River and knocked her out of her family's boat.
Thirty-two-year-old Brianne Megargel was enjoying a relaxing afternoon boat ride on the river with her husband, Stephen, and 10-year-old son, Greyson Elmore, at about 4 p.m. near Manatee Springs when the accident occurred, according to Michael Hart, Megargel's father.
By filling out a survey card or making a phone call, anglers can provide Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) biologists valuable information about red snapper and other reef fish.
Biologists distribute survey cards year-round to anglers along the Gulf coast, to gather information about fishing trips targeting red snapper.
Ok folks, it's nice to see the rain. Man, it's nice.
Things to expect after the rain: the inside waters will most likely have a red tint. This happens when the roots of the woods drain into the gulf. Tanic acids change the color of the water. If the rain lets up to a normal amount, the water will settle pretty quick. Now I know most think this is a bad thing. Well, if you use it to your advantage, it can be a good thing.
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts say there's something special about Cedar Key dolphins.
"They have unique feeding behaviors not seen anywhere else in the world," said PhD candidate Stefanie Gazda in a phone interview Friday.
Gazda heads up the Cedar Key Dolphin Project, a program that operates in the area for a few short weeks each year aimed at a better understanding the creatures and the environment they live in.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale men's hockey team, coming off a win and a tie at the Ivy Showcase, opens ECAC play this weekend on the road against Dartmouth and Harvard in pair of 7 p.m. games that can be seen on both school's websites.
Yale, which leads the Dartmouth series 106-87-13, had a 10-game win streak come to an end last Friday afternoon at the Showcase in a 2-2 OT tie. The 207th meeting is Friday night at Thompson Arena. There have been 235 meetings between Yale and Harvard including games in Boston, Buffalo, Detroit, Philadelphia, New York City, Brooklyn, Lake Placid and New Haven. The first meeting was Feb. 26, 1900, in New York, a 5-4 Yale victory. Yale has taken five of the last seven, but Harvard leads the overall series, 136-78-18.
The season began in exciting fashion at the Ivy Showcase at Meehan Auditorium. Antoine Lagainere (Ile Cadieux, Que.) scored both goals as the Bulldogs and Dartmouth skated to a 2-2 overtime tie. Laganiere beat Big Green goalie Cab Morris twice in the second period to erase a one-goal deficit. He had a team-high six shots on goal. Clinton Bourbonais (Dexter, Mich.), the only other Eli with a point, assisted on both Yale goals. The Blue was outshot 37-20 and got 35 saves from senior goalie Nick Maricic (Alta Loma, Calif.). He needed 13 in the third and another five stops in the overtime to earn the draw.
The teams split the regular season encounters with the home teams winning both. Harvard won 4-3 at Boston on Jan. 27, Yale took a 7-1 decision at New Haven on Feb. 18. The Crimson won two of three in the ECAC Quarterfinal playoff series at Boston.
Antoine Lagainere finished a three-goal opening weekend by notching the game-winner in a 3-2 decision against Princeton in game three of the 2012 Ivy Showcase at Brown's Meehan Auditorium. Laganiere used a Clinton Bourbonais clean faceoff win to get the puck past Princeton goalie Mike Condon on a low laser shot from the slot at 17:42 of the second. Yale outshot Princeton 34-27 and had two fewer penalties. The Elis got 25 saves, including a dozen in the second period, from senior Jeff Malcolm (Lethbridge, Alb.). He and his defense allowed just one power-play goal in three attempts. Jesse Root (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and Kenny Agostino (Flanders, N.J.) had the other Yale tallies.
The Bulldogs begin the home schedule by hosting Clarkson and St. Lawrence in a pair of 7 p.m. games at Ingalls Rink.
Senior F Andrew Miller (106 gp, 24-92-116) is among a select group of college players who have more points than career games played heading into a final season. He has been ranked among the top 10 in Division I for assists the last three years and was voted "best passer" by his teammates the last three years. Miller, a 2010-11 first-team All-ECAC pick, had 12-33-45 that season and was fourth in the nation in assists. More impressive was that 22 of his 33 assists were primary. The 33 helpers were second best at Yale and a sophomore school record. His best offensive weekend as a collegian came in Feb. 2011 when he hit the net three times on the weekend vs. Colgate/Cornell. As a freshman, Miller (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.), was 12th in the nation in points and registered the most (34) points by a Yale rookie in 25 years. The speedy forward was the 2008-09 USA Junior Player of the Year and 2007 Michigan High School Mr. Hockey.
Senior F Antoine Laganiere (Ile Cadieux, Que.) has 13 goals over his last 12 games, including three of Yale's five scores last week at Providence. One of the most improved Bulldogs last year, he had his best year with 19 goals and 33 points. Laganiere (87 gp, 38-21-49), whose 19 goals were second on the team last season, got hot when the Blue needed it most; he had 10 goals over the final 10 games, including his first collegiate hat trick in game three of the Princeton ECAC playoff series. He scored shorthanded, on the power play and even-strength against the Tigers. He also had Yale's best weekend with five goals over three games, which earned him his first ECAC Hockey Player of the Week honor.
Yale junior forward Kenny Agostino (Flanders, NJ) has been one of the hottest Bulldogs the last two seasons. He was third with 14 goals and 34 points in 2011-12, while he earned ECAC Player of the Week honors for his three-goal, Feb. 17-18 weekend. Agostino (66 gp, 26-34-60) pulled off a rare feat last winter by scoring goals in consecutive games with under 35 seconds left in regulation, one for a win and another to send it to overtime. Agostino beat Dartmouth at Hanover with 34.8 ticks remaining, followed by a GTG against SLU with 34.2 left at home. His season-high was 2-2-4 against both UConn and Harvard at Ingalls in 2011-12. Agostino became the first Yale newcomer in 30 years to record five points in one game on Jan. 2, 2011. He notched three goals and two assists against Holy Cross and became the school's first freshman to tally five points in 27 years. Yale's rookie of the year in 2010-11, Agostino had 11 goals and 25 points and was the HCA National Rookie of the Month for January (8-4-12), the first Bulldog to receive that award. He was ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week on Jan. 23 (3 goals vs. Clarkson/SLU), becoming the only Bulldog to earn conference rookie honors in 2010-11. The former Delbarton School star had a goal and three assists before the holiday break, and 10 goals and 11 assists after. He ranked 11th nationally among rookies with .86 points per game.
Senior Nick Maricic (Alta Loma, Calif.) got his first start and victory in a 4-2, 25-save effort against Cornell in the fourth game of his freshman season. Since then he has compiled 721 saves and 13 wins, including some big ones down the stretch last year that helped the Blue go 3-0-1 to close the regular season. He stopped 66 of 70 shots the final weekend on the road. He saved 52 of 56 shots and held Dartmouth/Harvard scoreless on 10 of 11 advantages the week before. Maricic (2.86, .901, 13-9-4), who was in net for two wins vs. Dartmouth as a junior, had a career-high 40 saves in the 2-2 tie at Quinnipiac on Feb. 25, 2012.
Senior Jeff Malcolm (2.89, .898, 17-15-2), the Yale goalie with the most minutes and saves in 2011-12, was in net for two of the more memorable events of the season: he made 27 saves in the win over Princeton in the playoff series finale and notched a shutout streak of three (Colgate, RPI, Union) games and 226:39 minutes (parts of 5 games) in November. Malcolm (Lethbridge, Alb.) earned ECAC Hockey Goalie of the Week honors after stopping all 72 shots in wins at No. 8 Union and RPI last winter. The three straight SHOs tied the school record but fell short of the Yale record (240:53 by Ryan Rondeau '11) scoreless streak.
There are eight defensemen on the Yale roster, including one senior, one junior three sophomores and three freshmen. Senior Colin Dueck (Calgary, Alb.) has the most experience with junior Gus Young (Dedham, Mass.) a close second. Sophomore Tommy Fallen (Plymouth, Minn) was the team's rookie of the year in 2011-12, but classmates Matt Killian (Basking Ridge, NJ) and Bennett Carroccio (Armonk, NY) also made contributions.
Last weekend at Providence, six freshmen were in the lineup, three on defense and three at forward. The eight new Bulldogs come from five different states and one province, and bring experience from the USHL (3), EJHL (2), BCHL, AJHL and a New England prep school. They range in size from 5-foot-9 to a pair of 6-foot-4 skaters, while the average weight of the class of 2016 is just over 190 pounds.
Yale has 11 games against opponents ranked in the Oct. 15 uscho.com poll, including a January date against the defending national champion Boston College Eagles. Four teams the Elis play this season appeared in the 2012 NCAA Tournament and two (BC, Union) advanced to the Frozen Four in Tampa, Fla.
The Yale roster includes players from 12 different states, two provinces and Norway. New York and New Jersey are represented by four players from each state, while Alberta and Michigan contribute three players and Illinois has a pair.
The United States Hockey League contributed nine players to the Bulldog roster. There are three from the British Columbia Hockey League, two from the Eastern Junior Hockey League and one from the Atlantic Junior Hockey League. Eleven Yale student-athletes came directly from prep schools.
The current Yale roster is comprised of leaders and scholars. Here are some examples.
21 Captained a hockey team before coming to Yale
18 Captained another sports team
20 Won a scholar-athlete award
14 Graduated in top 10% of their class
10 National Honor Society Members
4 Class Presidents

Of the 18 Yale players who have decided on majors, six plan on earning degrees in political science. Three Elis have unique majors among teammates: Clinton Bourbonais (biomechanical engineering), Nick Maricic (philosophy) and Colin Dueck (psychology).
Yale and Fairfield co-hosted three (2009, 2011, 2012) of the last four NCAA East Regional Tournaments at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport. The two schools could be getting more in the near future. The Bulldogs competed in two (2009, 2011) of the three.
Yale hockey celebrated the re-dedication of Ingalls Rink (3,500 capacity) on Jan. 16, 2010. The rink built in 1958 has been modernized while adding 13,000 square feet of operational space. The additions include locker rooms and space for strength & conditioning (including skating treadmill), student-athlete study area, medical & training, officials, video, coaches, equipment, reception and more. There are new historical displays, concession stands and bathrooms for the building nicknamed the "Whale" because of its humpback-shaped roof.
The Whale (Ingalls Rink) has been a tough place for visitors in recent years. Yale, which enjoyed its first undefeated (15-0-1, only Division I team to do that) regular season at Ingalls in 2010-11, finished 10-7 last year. The Bulldogs are 50-16-3 over the last four seasons at the Whale and 14-11-3 in home ECAC playoff games all time.
There were 23 former Yale hockey players skating professionally last winter, including eight from the class of 2011.

Mainframe Remains StrategicBy Mel Duvall | Posted 2006-02-07 Print
The firm reinvigorated 420 financial programs stored on mainframe computers. How? By buildingfrom scratchWeb services that can handle millions of interactions a day.
Andrew Brown, Merrill's chief technology architect, says what shouldn't be lost in the excitement around Web services is what the technology means for mainframe applications overall.
"We are making the mainframe strategic to our future. It's a fundamental decision," he says. "Back in the 1990s, it was trendy to say you were migrating off the mainframe. Now, I couldn't predict when the mainframe will go away. If anything, technologies like X4ML have given it new life."
In December, Merrill decided to give X4ML a chance to prove itself in the larger marketplace. The technology was sold for an undisclosed sum to SOA Software, a Los Angeles-based vendor of service oriented architecture systems. Four members of the development teamCrew; Michael Card, a database administrator and one of the chief developers of X4ML; Pillay; and Bruno Vitro, a Java expert who was hired to help develop X4MLhave transferred to SOA Software to shepherd the continued development. X4ML has since been renamed Service Oriented Legacy Architecture (SOLA).
According to Brown, Merrill has a long history of selling off technology that it has developed internally, and that it feels will not threaten its competitive advantage. In return, Brown hopes SOA will be able to further enhance the newly named SOLA, particularly in the area of registry services and by continuing to adopt and implement new security standards.
"We spend a lot of money on technologybillions of dollars a year," he says. "So, we're always looking for ways we can optimize that investment."
For now, Crew and the rest of the X4ML team continue to work from Merrill's Hopewell campus, not far from the stately grounds of Princeton University. Looking out his third-floor window, across a still-unfrozen pond toward Merrill's credit card operations, Crew feels a sense of satisfaction and excitement about the future.
"In many ways, this is the culmination of a life's work," he says. "People like myself have spent their entire careers building mainframe applications, testing and refining them, making them work faster and absolutely reliably. Mainframers see this [Web services] as a way to leverage and build on all of that hard work."

The members of Adrenaline Mob come from bands celebrated for their original material.
The band's singer Russell Allen comes from Symphony X. Drummer Mike Portnoy arrived from Dream Theater and Avenged Sevenfold. And guitarist Mike Orlando made his name with Sonic Stomp.
But for the band's latest release, "Coverta," Adrenaline Mob has pulled together a set of cover classics to make most metal and hard rock fans drool.
On the eight track set, the group covers, "High Wire" by Badlands, "Stand Up and Shout" by Dio," "Break On Through" by The Doors, "Barracuda" by Heart, "Kill the King" by Rainbow, "The Lemon Song" by Led Zeppelin, and "The Mob Rules" from the Ronnie James Dio-era of Black Sabbath.
Mike Orlando, calling from his home on Staten Island, said the idea of doing a set of cover songs came from their manager. "And we ran with it."
Each of the members picked up some of the tracks that eventually made the album, said Orlando. It was his idea to perform Badlands' "High Wire." The 1980s metal band featured guitarist Jake E. Lee, who went on to play with Ozzy Osbourne. "I'm a huge Jake E. Lee fan… He always comes to play… He's my favorite guitar player." And Orlando had been playing "High Wire" on stage since his days in Sonic Stomp.
Orlando said it also was his idea to record "Stand Up and Shout" as well. He said the song was a no-brainer for Adrenaline Mob since it had been in the band's set list since they started playing together. And it's a song that he has been playing since he was in his first bands at age 13. The track also showcases the singing abilities of Allen, said Orlando. The vocalist can sing anything but his performance on "Stand Up and Shout" is amazing, said Orlando.
"Romeo's Delight" by Van Halen appears to a divergent choice given the other tracks. "That was Mike's pick," said Orlando. And Orlando said he thought it was a great choice. "Any Van Halen is great Van Halen," said Orlando. "I'm a huge Eddie Van Halen fan. What rock guitar player isn't." And Allen "has a lot of David Lee Roth moments in him." Orlando said attacking that track "we had a ball."
Black Sabbath's "The Mob Rules" seems like an odd choice for a cover from those English metal pioneers. Tracks like "Paranoid," "Iron Man," or even "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath" seem like more obvious choices.
But Orlando said the selection of "The Mob Rules" makes sense if you know background for its inclusion on "Coverta."
When the band was first forming, and they were trying to come up with a name for this musical conglomeration, Orlando said they knew they wanted something with the word "Adrenaline" in it. They bounced ideas around. Then Portnoy came up with the suggested Adrenaline Mob. It made sense. The members were all from New York, and they were like a gang of brothers— a mob, if you will.
And once the band had the idea of doing the cover album, Orlando said, Portnoy suggested—given the name Adrenaline Mob— "We have to do 'The Mob Rules.'"
"It worked out great," said Orlando.
Looking at the track listing, with three songs coming from bands featuring the lead vocals of Ronnie James Dio, it's clear the band has an allegiance to the late lead singer from New York.
"We're huge Dio fans," said Orlando. "I'm thilled to do something from Dio, Sabbath, and Rainbow."
Sometimes when bands do a covers album, and they perform in concert, they will perform a set of original material, take a diversion to perform a string of the cover tracks, and then return to the original material to close out their performance. Other times, bands will sprinkle the covers throughout the set.
In past tours, Orlando said Adrenaline Mob would perform all of their original songs, take a break, and then perform the cover tracks as part of their encore. That may be the case again, he said. But, Adrenaline Mob hasn't quite figured out the flow of the set list yet. It may depend on how to pace Allen's voice since some of the cover tracks on "Coverta" stretch the singer's range.
No matter how the set list is structured, however, Orlando promised that Adrenaline Mob will deliver a high energy show.
Orlando admitted he is an "adrenaline junkie." He is a drag racer. He races dirt bikes. If it gets his heart thumping, he's into in, including the music.
As good as Adrenaline Mob is on record, Orlando promised that their live performance is "off the charts."
Adrenaline Mob performs at Toad's Place, 300 York St., New Haven on Tuesday, March 12. For more information, go to ToadsPlace.com or AdrenalineMob.com

Justin Timberlake, "The 20/20 Experience" (RCA Records)
Boy did he test our patience. But boy, is he rewarding us for the wait.
After seven years, Justin Timberlake has finally released his third album, "The 20/20 Experience," and it's a brilliant piece of work that plays like a musical movement. The 10 tracks (which average seven minutes) weave into one another beautifully as his falsetto glides over each beat. It's an unconventional adventure that makes your bones groove. Seriously.
It's hard to think of another performer who can make a seven-minute track continuously engaging and refreshing, especially at a time when a five-minute song screams "problem" for radio stations and our attention span gets shorter with every tweet or text. One of the standouts of the album is the eight-minute event called "Strawberry Bubblegum." It's smooth, airy and full of sexual innuendoes, and it transitions into something that's heaven-like.
Timberlake was flying high off 2006's multiplatinum, Grammy-winning "FutureSex/LoveSounds" when he essentially walked away from music to act. In the interim, he made one very good movie (the Oscar-winning "Social Network") and several so-so ones, and almost seemed like another cast member on "Saturday Night Live" with all his appearances on the show.
But despite all his attempts to put music on the sidelines, the question everyone always had for him was, "When is that new album coming out?"
Maybe the former 'N Sync leader was stalling because of the monumental success that album triggered and the kind of pressure that places on a performer.
That burden may also be the reason why "20/20" echoes much of "FutureSex/LoveSounds," one of the last decade's best albums. When "Spaceship Coupe" comes on, you'll think of "Until the End of Time," and "Let the Groove In" feels like "Sexy Ladies/Let Me Talk to You (Prelude)." Like "FutureSex/LoveSounds," "20/20" features producer Timbaland's deft hand at the centre of it all.
In some ways, it almost plays like a musical sequel, and if it's not broke, don't fix it, right? Well, not quite.
Timberlake loses some points for the lack of creativity. Yes, "20/20" is near perfect, but it's almost like he's plagiarizing some of his own essay, and that's slightly unfortunate. The album mirrors the futuristic R&B-esque vibe that helped Timberlake leap to the top of the musical ladder — only it's not so futuristic anymore.
But it's still vital music that rises above the R&B pack. "That Girl" starts off with old-school appeal, but dabbles into contemporary R&B with a swagger that's also evident on "Mirror." You can't do anything but move your shoulders to "Don't Hold the Wall" and "Pusher Love Girl" kicks off the album with the right energy. Even "Suit and Tie," the solid yet a tad underwhelming first single, fits in nicely here.
These days, it's hard for any star to follow-up a massively successful album, and the challenge gets even steeper when a years-absence is added to the equation. But with a great album on his side, Timberlake should find his return to the top a smooth ride.

Living the Poor Life in Glasgow
3 comments:
They're amazing records, aren't they? And absolutely stuffed full of details about my family, as it happens. One of my favourites shows that the authorities actually checked up on what they were told, and didn't just take the applicant's word for it; my great-great grandmother told them her son earned 10/- a week, but there's a later note saying that his employers said it was 12/6 ! They also said there was no trace of his birth in the parish where she claimed he was born. No point in me looking, then (actually I had already looked, and I couldn 't find it, either)ReplyDelete
These are some of my fave records in Scotland! Another lesser known source concerning poor law records is the lists of those who were returned to Ireland (parish of birth or workhouse) by the poor law authorities from both England and Ireland, as sourced from the British parliamentary papers. There are lists of those returned from Scotland from 1 Jan 1867 to 31 Dec 1869 and 1875-1878 at www.raymondscountydownwebsite.com arranged by county and parish, and similar lists of those returned from England 1867/1869 and from 1 JAN 1875. The original lists were scanned and reproduced on the site, but these now appear to have been replaced by transcriptions. (I haven't checkled the parliamentary papers yet to see if there are additional lists). The detail is excellent, telling you when couples were returned, how many kids under 16 they had, which port they were sent from, which union sent to, and more.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the link Chris,ReplyDelete
I wasn't aware of that website but it seems like a great resource, well worth exploring.

(CNN) -- Mike Fitzgibbons recalls 1973 with a mixture of fondness and tearful nostalgia.
That was the year he graduated from St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia, celebrated his 24th birthday and married his first wife.
It was also the year he set sail on a trip that would enter the record books as the world's longest known raft expedition.
Fitzgibbons was one of the "Las Balsas" explorers, a group of 12 hardy men led by the charismatic Spanish explorer, Vital Alsar, who set sail from Ecuador on three vessels fashioned from little more than tree logs.
Their aim? To reach Australia, some 9,000 miles away across the South Pacific. In the process, they hoped to prove that the Pacific Islands could have been populated by migrations from South America in the centuries before the Spanish Conquistadors arrived.
Alsar had made two attempts at the trip before. The first ended when his ship sank after its wooden frame became infested with teredo worms. The second -- known as "La Balsa" -- was successful, although many wrote it off as a fluke that could never be repeated.
The Las Balsas crew were out to prove the doubters wrong in what they hoped would be the first recorded multi-raft crossing of the Pacific.
"It was an adventure," says Fitzgibbons, wistfully recalling how his participation in the voyage came to be. "Everyone thinks of these things from when they were a kid and here it was in front of me."
He was introduced to Alsar via a mutual acquaintance in Mexico City a year before the trip. He recalled being impressed by the Spaniard's knowledge on an array of subjects as well as his philosophical demeanor.
"He was like Santa Claus meets Jesus Christ," Fitzgibbons says of the heavily-bearded Alsar, "like electricity to be around."
Ten other suitable candidates were soon carefully recruited from across the world. Fitzgibbons was one of three Americans while the others hailed from Mexico, Chile, Ecuador, Spain and Canada.
Each had to speak at least three languages, be capable of navigating at sea and make a scale model of the boats they would soon build together using instructions provided by Alsar.
While being an important lesson to familiarize the crew with the ships they would sail on, it was also a PR opportunity for the mission.
Alsar gave the models to an array of public figures and politicians to promote the voyage, including the surrealist artist Salvador Dali. In return, Dali donated an original painting which would be placed atop the sails of the vessels when weather permitted.
The balsa logs
The crew arrived in Ecuador early March and immediately set out for the jungle. Once there they sought out and cut down a number of balsa trees from which they would build the vessels.
Balsa wood was chosen because of its strength, durability and the fact it was used by tribes to construct rafts in the centuries before the Conquistadors came to South America.
After a week, the group gathered the wood they had collected and sailed down a nearby river to the port city of Guayaquil, where they would construct the vessels.
"We built them right there, shaped them, cut them," says Fitzgibbons. "Three rafts with their cabins. They were very sturdy. They could take high winds, high waves. They were just like planks on the water. There was no rocking, we would just go up and down."
As the sailors set out to sea, Fitzgibbons recalls there were few nerves. Each man had prepared well and was focused on the upcoming mission.
"We were convinced through Vital that, as hair-brained as everything may have seemed, it was well planned, thought out and safe," he says.
"You knew you would have your challenges but everything you would do, you knew you did it for the day you would arrive in Australia."
On board, the men divided tasks. Each would take two-hour shifts to sail in the morning and once again later in the day. Chores such as keeping the logs clean of seaweed and slime were also split, as was cooking.
The main pleasure of life at sea quickly became food. The group brought with them small rations of rice, beans and some preserves like marmalade and jams, while rainwater was captured in buckets. Their main nutritional source, though, came from the ocean -- spending much of their time catching tuna, mahi-mahi and small pilot fish.
"Food became something you obsessed over. You daydreamed about things you couldn't get. There was no milk, there was no cheese," Fitzgibbons says. "There was not much talk about sex because you didn't care, you were hungry. You didn't think about it. Food became your big delight."
Sharks begin to circle
Attracting tasty morsels to catch was never much of a problem. Barnacles soon started attaching themselves to the boats once at sea. This attracted small ocean creatures, which in turn lured larger marine life, which attracted fish.
Before long, sharks were following in the wake of this mini ecosystem, while curious whales were a frequent sight alongside the rafts.
"The sharks were pretty obvious. You'd see them coming around for the other fish," Fitzgibbons explains. "We didn't mess with them too much. Only twice did we kill the sharks that were keeping the food away.
"There was one time we had hammerhead sharks that one man didn't realize were there. He threw a big tuna head out into the water on a line. This was picked up by the hammerhead. It literally started to turn the raft around until the line broke. That's how strong it was. It was an ugly-looking thing. Huge, but ugly."
Hungry sharks weren't the only danger out on the open water. The weather was also a force to be reckoned with. On one occasion, when the ships were passing Tonga, a particularly violent storm struck, lasting for eight days.
"It was pretty severe. We had six days of just rain and then the last two days it was just huge waves that had built up over the time of the storm. You couldn't even see the other vessels as they disappeared into the trough of the wave," Fitzgibbons remembers.
"It was frightening just listening to the noise of the wind. It was so strong that the lines holding up the sail would vibrate like the string of a guitar because they were that taut."
Amid the chaos, one of the three vessels became damaged and separated from the others.
"We didn't realize until the morning that they were gone," says Fitzgibbons. "It was worrisome as we didn't have radio contact.
"We just kept sailing and kept to the routine as we had agreed to before. Everyone was silent at that point. Then, after seven or eight days, there they were on the horizon. It was great. Their radio had failed. They could hear us but we couldn't hear them. It was remarkable."
Such experiences, although terrifying at the time, have come to define the trip for Fitzgibbons. Alongside the moments of great laughter and comradeship, which he says were frequent, he learned most from them.
"When you're trying to be reflective about these things, it would have felt like you weren't on this expedition if you didn't come through that," he says.
"It made me see how people could function together and get through things. Sure, we were tired and wet and cold, but we got through it."
The final stretch
Eventually, after 179 days at sea and a distance of 9,000 miles, the Las Balsas crew had made it to Australia.
Bearded, bedraggled and exhausted, they landed on the shores of Ballina in New South Wales, where they were greeted by an excited local community.
The sailors had learned how to sing and play "Waltzing Matilda," a folk song often referred to as the country's unofficial national anthem, during their spare moments at sea and they performed the ditty for their delighted hosts.
Adapting to life on land once again, however, took some getting used to.
Some of the explorers have since spoken about how they didn't get on with others in the group when they got back to land, but Fitzgibbons talks highly of everyone he sailed with.
He reserves the highest praise for Alsar, though, whose vision and strength of character made the journey possible.
It wasn't until they were almost ashore he realized the pressure the captain was under, ensuring all of the men he had persuaded to take part in his crazy adventure had got there safe.
"I watched the worry just drain out of him. I thought, 'My God, he did this,' " Fitzgibbons says, his voice breaking with tears. "It still makes me emotional just thinking of it.
"He made this happen and he got us there. I'll never get over that. Everything else you can make in a movie. You can't make that up."
The 40th anniversary of the Las Balsas voyage came to pass last November, and a reunion celebration was held in Ballina with several of the sailors attending.
A small memorial displaying one of the rafts used during the journey remains in the town's maritime museum to this day.
This exhibit aside, however, Las Balsas hasn't stuck in the popular consciousness in the same way that other famous Pacific ocean raft adventures have.
The Kon-Tiki voyage undertaken by Norwegian explorer Thor Heyerdahl and five others in 1947, for example, has its own museum in Oslo. A 2011 feature film on the journey meanwhile was nominated for the award of best foreign language film at the Oscars.
Although a mightily impressive feat in itself, the Kon-tiki only sailed from Peru to the Polynesian island of Raroia, where it struck a reef. This meant it traveled roughly 5,000 miles less than the Las Balsas vessels.
For Fitzgibbons, however, recognition was not what the journey was all about. In fact, he kept his mementos of the journey hidden away for a long time.
"When Vital visited me once, he didn't see anything in the house and he asked me, 'Where are some of your souvenirs from the trip?' I said I didn't want to share the story. He said, 'It's your story, you should.'
"So now," he pauses, before composing himself one final time. "Now, I do."

Since my computer (Lenovo ThinkPad x120e) doesn't have an optical drive, I downloaded the Linux Mint 12 CD (64-bit) release image and used Ubuntu's "Create a USB startup disk" utility to write it to my flash drive. However, when I tried to boot from it, it kept failing at the bootloader with an error that I can't quite remember (I'll try to reproduce the problem, for search indexing's sake).
I installed the unetbootin package, though, and it created a working drive on the first try. Once I booted into the Mint live system, installation proceeded smoothly and identically to a normal Ubuntu install.
First Impressions
Upon rebooting into my shiny new installation, the restricted driver manager popped up and acknowledged my Broadcom wireless card and Radeon graphics. The wireless drivers never kicked in, though, and the graphics displayed text wrong in the panels and menus (some letters and words were a scrambled, garbled mess).
The lack of wireless *and* a proper graphics driver was a definite deal-breaker for me, so that's where my first experience ended. I hope to give it another shot soon, so I'll update this post if I have any better luck.
sudo apt-get install libva1 libva-x11-1 libva-tpi1 libva-glx1 libva-dev xvba-va-driver fglrx-atieventsd fglrx-control fglrx-driver fglrx-glx fglrx-glx-ia32 fglrx-modules-dkms
UPDATE (12/30/11): Erik notes:
I went back to the open source drivers....
They seem to work much better for watching flash movies. For Youtube I use the FVR Flashvideoreplacer addon. The other websites are better with the open source drivers then with fglrx.

Trailer MedicPosted in How To on November 1, 2012
We hear ya groaning out there. You just asked yourself, "What's a story about trailer maintenance doing in a magazine about Jeeps?" Aside from the obvious fact that a trailer extends your junky Jeep jalopy's geographic range, a trailer is often necessary to drag that new project home in the first place. We can't count how many non-running, otherwise-immobile pieces of Toledo yard art were given a new lease on life after getting winched atop the 7,000lb trailer used in this story.
Okay, we counted: 13 old Jeeps were rescued and rejuvenated in the past 10 years because of this trailer. But like anything, time, weather, and mileage take their toll, and our junk Jeep chariot was suffering from some issues. Current trailer owners can hopefully pick up a tip or two from these pages. And if you're shopping for a used trailer, don't let some of these issues dissuade you from an otherwise good score.

This is not about tradition. This is not about history. This is not about money. And please, spare me the business about academics.
This is about sports.
At its core, sports will determine whether what Maryland has done to its athletic department by accepting an invitation to join the Big Ten Conference is a triumph (their contention) or a calamity (the more likely scenario).
At Maryland, the sport that has mattered most over the years is basketball. The Terps won the NCAA championship in 2002, reached the Final Four in 2001 and made 24 NCAA Tournament appearances. They turned out Len Bias, Len Elmore, Buck Williams, Juan Dixon and Greivis Vasquez. They played for decades in the antiquated charm of Cole Field House until 10 years ago upgrading to the comfort and luxury of the Comcast Center. They did all of this as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
They did most of it by selling ACC-area players on playing in the ACC. Bias was a local kid, from Riverdale. Williams was from Rocky Mount, N.C., which also gave the world the great Phil Ford. From the championship team, Dixon (Baltimore) and Lonny Baxter (Silver Spring) were both in-staters, and Chris Wilcox was from Whiteville, N.C.
Understanding the chemistry that flows through this sort of athletic success ought to be mandatory in making the decisions that so profoundly impact an athletic department's future, but unfortunately it too often is ignored for the purpose of accepting more lucrative paydays.
Ask Derek Dooley how jumping at the money turned out.
No one seems to be considering this factor in making conference affiliation decisions, but volunteering to become the most remote member of an athletic conference does not appear to be a recipe for success. Washington State in the Pac-12 and Texas Tech in the Big 12 don't have any options. They're going to be remote in any league, because they're remote.
Maryland, though, has done this by choice. It is in the heart of the ACC, particularly given the league's expansion into the Northeast with Boston College, Syracuse and Pitt. Maryland no longer is the outsider envious of the Carolina-based "Big Four." The Terps had become old-school ACC. They were as much a part of the gentry as anyone.
Moving to the Big Ten will earn the Terps more money. But the coaches in every sport, most notably basketball, will have to start their recruiting work by selling ACC-area kids on competing in a league whose road trips will take them primarily to the Midwest, not on short jaunts down to UVa or the Carolina Triangle.
Where can they look for examples on how to make this work? There basically are none.
Of the three teams involved in the ACC's mid-2000s shakedown of the Big East—Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech—only Va Tech saw its athletic fortunes improve as the result of the move. This was predictable—and, in fact, we predicted it.
"ACC Allows the Hokies to Dream," was the headline on that column from 2003. As a geographic outlier in the Big East, Virginia Tech had been unable to generate any momentum and finished last for three consecutive years: 2001, 2002, 2003. As a member of the ACC, selling to regional recruits the opportunity to play in the conference that dominated their region, Virginia Tech was a far more dangerous player once it made the move.
Whether or not you believe Va Tech fulfilled its potential under Seth Greenberg, and I believe it certainly did, there is no doubting the Hokies improved dramatically in their new league. In 2007, they made their only NCAA Tournament trip of the past 15 years, and they finished fourth or better four times in the past six seasons.
Maryland to Big Ten
— Gary Williams says move makes sense
— Steele: Tradition shouldn't matter
Compare that to Boston College, which voluntarily became a geographic outlier in the ACC. The Eagles had been consistently competitive in the Big East. In their final five seasons in the league, they compiled a record of 115-44 and twice finished first. In their past five seasons as an ACC member, they are 81-80. They haven't reached the NCAA Tournament since 2009.
It is far too early to measure the long-term impact of the current expansion wave on those who participated, although one could argue West Virginia left a potential BCS bowl bid—perhaps even a shot at the football national title—for the thrill of losing five consecutive high-scoring games in the Big 12. One could argue Texas A&M football might have been even better positioned for that title shot competing in the Big 12 rather than taking a couple of losses in the Southeastern Conference. And Missouri is approaching the possibility its streak of seven consecutive winning football seasons could end in its rookie year with the SEC.
It's apparently not too early to measure the short-term impact.
Does all that feel good on payday?
One can argue Maryland is abandoning more than six decades of history and tradition, and there ought to be more attention paid to that. But what Maryland mostly is leaving behind is the logic that has dictated through the decades that athletes who grow up reading about the ACC and hearing about the ACC on the radio and seeing kids wearing the T-shirts of ACC members in the school hallways—those athletes are going to aspire to play in the ACC.
The $50 million exit fee the conference approved in the fall may or may not be avoided. But there's no negotiating with reality.

New groups of farmers are banding together to meet consumer needs.
A new cooperative movement is afoot in the hinterlands that just might change the face of American agriculture.
And, no, we're not talking about the mega-merger between Land O'Lakes, Cenex Harvest States Cooperatives and Farmland Industries. This is a farmer-driven, cooperative effort to create value-added ventures or special, contractual alliances with end users of farmer-grown commodities and products.
This movement touts the philosophy of interdependent farming over independent farming. Those in the know say it is time to move into an economy where producers work together with end users. "We've tried the independent route, and it has failed," says a farmer who attended a recent co-op organizational meeting in Minnesota.
Midwest alliances One of the oldest of the new-wave cooperatives is the four-year-old 21st Century Alliance headquartered in Manhattan, KS. Another is Innovative Farmers, which was created by a group of farmers in central Michigan. Growers have started similar co-ops in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska (those states each have two such co-ops) and North Carolina.
Hoping to join the movement is an organization in Minnesota called FarmConnect. The group held 18 meetings in rural Minnesota communities in February and March to explain the cooperative concept and sign on a limit of 2,000 farmer members.
These are "closed" co-ops, where membership is limited to a set number of growers who pay a one-time sign-up fee, plus an annual co-op membership payment. These fees vary from alliance to alliance.
Brent Sorenson, CEO of FarmConnect, says growers in the co-ops further benefit because the alliances and co-ops network with one another under an umbrella organization called the U.S. Ag Producers Alliance. "There is the realization that we can cut across state lines and work together and learn from one another," he says.
Chris Williams, vice president of operations for 21st Century Alliance, calls these groups "nontraditional co-ops." "They're not for every farmer," he states.
"Nor are they intended to disrupt the traditional infrastructure," Sorenson adds. "We see no need to reinvent the wheel."Working togetherIn fact, the alli ance needs the cooperation of that infrastructure to succeed in its objectives. For example, Williams notes the need to segregate specialty grain products for shipment. Some of the 750 21st Century growers grew a special wheat product for General Mills that had to be segregated from traditionally blended grains in western Kansas and eastern Colorado. "The elevators had to agree not to co-mingle the grain," Williams says. Such contracts, and cooperation, are signs of success for the alliances and their members; such an agreement probably wouldn't have been made with an individual or small group of independent farmers.
"We may continue growing traditional crops, but with a focus, with a realized end consumer who works closely with a group of cooperating farmers," Sorenson explains. "Our role is to help define those markets, those end consumers, and get them together with our growers. We will serve as the clearinghouse for marketing ideas, a clearinghouse of market information and situations, and a clearinghouse to a specific group of cooperative farmers who can provide the production services. We won't be signing the contracts but will offer the information and the structure to get those parties together to sign the contracts."
"Our experience," Williams says, "shows that the major food processors, for instance, realize the need for a higher quality grain product and are looking for the people who can deliver that product to them at the volume they need. And they are willing to pay more for it because they trust the quality."
List of successes This is but one of the efforts of 21st Century. Williams says that in four years the alliance, which has producers in eight states, has accumulated $3.2 million in equity and has started five new businesses besides the contracts. Included are two flour mills and two 1,000-plus commercial dairy farms that buy co-op members' grain and hay products. The co-op also started a company called Golden Forest Ag Fiber Co-op, whose 200 members, with 200,000 acres, seek plywood markets for their processed wheat straw.
Williams is nearly apologetic when he says the alliance "is so new that it is hard to show an immediate return." However, stocks have appreciated by a third in the four years of operation, and the growers are showing a $0.28/bu. premium above the market price for wheat. "It's happening. But it's happening slowly," Williams says.
Jim Lecurex, executive director of the Michigan group, says co-ops vary from memberships that want to "brick and mortar" value-added facilities to those that opt to work within the existing infrastructure and meet the needs of both end users and farm cooperators through contract arrangements. Some of his cooperators are building an alfalfa processing plant, while another facet is working with end-user processors to set up a specialty dry bean project.
This is a list of accomplishments that Sorenson can only wish for at this point. Although his Minnesota co-op is at the infant stage, he's confident that it will have similar successes. Value-added cooperative efforts have been in place for more than a decade in the state, and although there hasn't been such an organized effort at attracting alliances between growers and customers, some Minnesota farmers have long histories of growing specialty crops for food processors.
Sorenson's resume reveals his involvement with other innovative groups; new ideas (along with their ups and downs) are nothing new to him. Among his earlier ventures was working with the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute, a state-funded organization that helps farmers develop products and find markets for them. In the past year he moved over to the Northern Great Plains Initiative for Rural Development to develop the framework for FarmConnect. His impressive marketplace development committee includes major commodity organizations for livestock and crops; even such far-reaching groups as the Sustainable Farming Association are joining the effort.
Growing for the consumer "It is really difficult for individual farmers to find these types of markets for their products," Sorenson says. "But as a cooperative group of farmers, we can develop these kinds of relationships. We have seen a lot of interest on both sides of the equation. This is a positive sign, because what we're doing now as independent producers just isn't working. What we eventually hope to have is a win-win situation for both producers and end users. We see end users benefiting from these alliances by connecting them to significant numbers of producers who are capable of supplying the quantity and quality of products they need, and benefiting farmer producers by identifying market niches and opportunities to add value to their production."
Endorsing the movement with aplomb is Minnesota Commissioner of Agriculture Gene Hugoson, who says that "interdependence will likely be the key word for 21st century farming. Gone are the days when producers produce what they want when they want to produce it. Just as many other industries have adopted 'just-in-time' supply practices, so will we. Producers must get to know their customers and learn the farm products they want."
In some areas of America's breadbasket, small groups of farmers in these new-age alliances and co-ops are discovering that truth. They can only hope it isn't too late.

Adam Levine Is Ready For Kids: 'You Don't Have To Be Married To Have Babies!' Do YOU Agree?
The Maroon 5 front man and 'The Voice' coach has been keeping busy, but he's excited to be a father!
Though he has no intentions to marry yet, Adam Levine would love to settle down in a few years and start making babies. He'd be one hot dad, huh?
"I don't think you necessarily have to be married to have children," Adam, who is currently been dating model, Anne Vyalisyna explained. "Marriage is a controversial thing, clearly. In a lot of ways it doesn't work, and in a lot of ways it does."
Maroon 5 just re-released their third album, and their new hit single, Moves Like Jagger featuring Christina Aguilera is climbing to the top of the charts. He told CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight exactly where he sees his life going.
"Where do I wanna be when I'm 42? I would (like) to be working less and… considering the idea of having a family and at that age I like the idea of having a two year old. I want to start having kids," he says.
Does Adam have the right idea, Hollymoms?

Obama's system of denial and death
Exclusive: Janet Porter uses horror stories
from Canada to argue against health care plan
When they get sick in Canada they don't call a doctor, they call a travel agent. Canadian Rick Baker of Timely Medical, knows it well as he discussed on my radio program yesterday. Baker is running a "Freedom Train for Health Care" to accommodate those running for their lives from the Canadian socialist system that's killing them.
One of Baker's clients was an 8-year-old little girl who was losing her hearing because of an infection. The Canadian system told her parents they had to wait for treatment from January to July. She was to go the whole school year without being able to hear her teacher. Then the wait was until September. And then, they said the wait would be until the following April. That was when the parents of this little girl turned to Timely Medical who took her for treatment in the U.S. within a matter of days.
But the American doctor wasn't as concerned about saving her hearing as he was about … saving her life. That's because the infection had spread to her brain and, while she lost all her hearing in one ear and half the hearing in the other, waiting any longer would have cost her her life. Thankfully, she escaped the socialist system that would have left her dead.
Tell Congress to stop spending America into the ground! Sign the WND petition demanding lawmakers stop the bailouts, stimulus bills and march toward socialism and national destruction.
Another client was Lin Gilbert, who had chronic back pain for three years awaiting an operation that would allow her to walk, to work and to care for her young children. Gilbert, whose condition worsened to the point where she had to wear diapers, and became hooked on morphine because of the pain, was told that she "hadn't waited long enough" and that she "hadn't suffered enough."
She was featured on "Huckabee," on Fox last Sunday, and on Neil Cavuto's program yesterday. And now that her teenage son has been diagnosed with the same condition, she's fleeing socialized medicine for the country with the best health care in the world: the United States.
Canadians hanging by a thread of life are boarding the freedom train as fast as they can. But here's the downside: If Barack Obama and this Congress ram socialized medicine through here, there will be nowhere for us to run. In fact, the plan would make it illegal to do so.
But now Obama's at it again – ramming through another government takeover – only this time it's not just our free market and our freedoms of speech and religion that are on the line, but our very lives. Armed with the only thing in his arsenal – rhetoric – Obama said: "We can't afford the politics of delay and defeat when it comes to health care – not this time, not now."
His health care plan would be the politics of delay and of death, and I'm not just talking about those babies without names. For those who don't care about the millions of innocent babies awaiting their birthdays whom Obama aggressively seeks to kill through abortion and infanticide with your tax dollars, take note: This time the crosshairs are aimed at you and your family.
Obamacare's prescription for disaster includes:
- a price tag that exceeds a trillion dollars;
- much higher taxes to cover these costs;
- medical professionals forced to perform abortions;
- health care rationing;
- life-saving treatment denied;
- jail sentences for those who seek treatment outside the socialized health care system;
- and after a decade, 15 to 20 million Americans would still remain uninsured.
But this socialized system of denial and death Obama is so anxious to pass won't affect him or those in Congress who are voting these versions out of committee like their August vacations depended on it.
They need to stop long enough to actually read this bill for a change, and listen to what Americans are saying. They also need to listen to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, which put the price tag at more than a trillion. If you add another trillion we don't have to the 3.5 trillion-dollar "stimulus" plan (we also don't have), we are really, really bankrupt.
Even the Mayo Clinic, which Obama touted as the health care model, said, "… the proposed legislation misses the opportunity to help create higher-quality, more affordable health care for patients. In fact, it will do the opposite."
But we in America are standing up and saying "no" to Obama and his cohorts. Not this time. Not ever.
There's a reason why his opinion polls are in a free fall. U.S. News & World Report suggested the "O" in "Obama" may stand for "One Term." That may be true, but first we have to survive the summer. If we don't stop this insanity now, there won't be a train for us to board to get the life-saving health care we need.

In a rather surprising turn of events, Blizzard has announced that they are teaming up with publishing group Future to print a quarterly magazine about; you guessed it, World of Warcraft.
For the yearly subscription price of $39.95 USD, readers will receive four issues of the ad-free WoW magazine to get cheap wow gold, including concept art, hints and sneak peeks at upcoming content patches and expansions, interviews with developers, strategies for raid and dungeon encounters, and more "insider and player perspectives". The issues are stated to be more than 140 pages long and glossy as heck to get cheap wow gold.
It is admittedly rather shocking that a magazine like this is getting published -- not because of content or anything like that, but because print is considered a flagging medium. The formula for success here seems to be to offer a high-end product -- Future says they consider it more of a "collectible coffee-table book" than a magazine -- and sustain it on subscriptions alone, since it will be free of advertising. Hopefully legions of fans will subscribe and give the zine its lifeblood, since it actually sounds pretty cool to me about cheap wow gold. The first issue is scheduled to go to press at an as-yet-unknown date this fall, and is supposed to contain interviews with top guilds about Ulduar strategies, a retrospective on WoW for its fifth anniversary, and unnamed other content about cheap wow gold.
Those wishing to subscribe can visit the magazines official website on August 21st – that is BlizzCon day one -- and enter their info there, or visit the WoW Magazine booth at the Con itself.
I like him but I am afraid of telling him just tell him what you are thinking about what you want to know what you
