Republicans Work on Fixing Obamacare
100 comments:
This is yet another example of the liberal lite tendencies of RINOs. For the hundredth time, we didn't vote Rethuglicans back in office to act like Democrats. Repeal and DON'T replace obummercare with anything. That way, the welfare sucking illegal aliens and others unwilling to work will not have access to my taxpayer money via healthcare. Easy and simple. The 2016 election was a mandate. Yet the RINOs feel it was yet another reward for them being..well...Republicans. The well is running dry for Rethuglicans, but they either don't seem aware or just don't care. Time to vote the idiots out and replace, even if it means liberal socialists gaining office. The reset button draws ever nearer.
The similarities between national level RINO liberals and the Watauga County Liberal Republican Party are striking. They are so intent on keeping power, they are willing to turn full red communist to do so!!! They have no morals, no ethics, and no shame. Ask them about the farmer out in Aho who battled city hall over a septic tank and they remain conspicuously silent. Ask them to pass a regulation that affects the masses, and they're all over it.
RINOs like Thom Tillis, New Guy, Lindsey Graham, Mitch McConnel, Paul Ryan, Fat Boy Chris Christie, RINO Rick Perry, the low energy Bush twins, RINO Richard Burr under the saddle, and a host of other worthless, cowardly dolts will sell you down the river in an instant to retain power. But, we've been exposing them for what they are for decades now which is why you never see them posting or interacting on this site. They are scared of conservatives because we see right through their B.S. The infamous Blowing Rock Land Trade in which a crooked city council bought land far, far outside city limits to protect viewsheds of town council members started it all. The land trade shed light on the machinations of the Watauga County Republican Party and Virginia Foxx eventually leading to Watauga County falling into the hands of Democrats (same thing).
We tried telling people what was happening, but most stuck their head in the sand. Now we have RINOs doing exactly what we said they were going to and more heads go into the sand. Assume the position RINOs and get ready for PLOP!, POV, Shylock, Happily Dumb, and a host of other miscreants to give it to you.

The next episode in the RINO double-cross phenomena, I predict, will see some RINOs defect to the Democratic Party in hopes of winning districts evenly divided between Republicans and Democrats. When they do it, be ready for feigned enlightenment on the part of the defector. They may even steal a broken record line from Liberal Socialist Jackal POV with words such as racist, bigot, old white guy, etc.
It's coming folks, I can feel it. There will be enough pressure put on RINOs that they will Benedict Arnold to the other side in hopes of retaining power. Didn't Charlie Crist in Florida do that? And some idiot in Pennsylvania did it as well. When they do defect, fear not as it will help define the battle lines. It may cause a third party, but I'm beginning to think the two party system will remain by purging the Republican Party of the energy sucking sycophants that afflict us conservatives. Things seem to be set in motion now toward this end.
Anyone want to take bets on which prominent RINO goes first?

RINOs were brave in bringing forth bill after bill to repeal obummercare during the hussein obummer (notice lower case) administration for no reason other than to act tough in front of the electorate who was already beginning to recognize RINOs for what they are. Now, with Republicans controlling both houses and the Presidency, they can't seem to muster the guts to repeal obummercare. Doesn't get any more gutless than that my friends. These dolts would lag behind even liberal socialist jackal POV in stupidity.
Democrats were united when they passed obummercare. They have been united ever since, and remain that way today. Rethuglicans are too stupid to unite behind the electorate who put them in power once again.
I challenged the Watauga County Rethuglican Party to DO SOMETHING for many years. They didn't. Now we have the same mistake being made by national level Rethuglicans. DO SOMETHING!!! Not a hard concept friends. Fing DO SOMETHING.
What will happen, is they will let the opportunity pass and nothing will get done and then we will see liberal socialist jackals in control and they WILL do something. I respect liberal socialist jackals more than I do Republicans.

There are studies saying half the people in the US couldn't cover a $500 expense with their cash in the bank or under their mattress. Of course, if true, even more couldn't cover a $2,000 emergency expense. What is the deductible on most Obamacare policies? Why do the Democrats cling to this Obamacare Tax? I think it's the emotional feeling they get of sharing the costs of killing their pre-born babies with people who reject those killings as birth control. I believe they think it shares their guilt somehow.

Any idea on why liberal socialist jackals (pov, shylock, happily dumb, new guy, PLOP!, Williamsons, high country press, Watauga Democrat, mountain times, blowing rocket) never seem to repot on leftist violence against conservatives? Not a peep on Berkely or the multiple examples of liberal jackals attacking conservatives at poltical rallies. But they do report on a rancher trying to protect his land against government sponsored thievery. They also were sure to ignore the NOT GUILTY verdict of the conservative heroes at the Oregon Wildlife Refuge - some of whom were shot and killed by the FBI. Why no coverage of this event?
The above liberal jackals are completely ok with VIOLENCE against conservatives yet proclaim thugs like Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown heroes. Why is this? Several of the above mentioned rags attacked George Bush, Jesse Helms, Johnathan Jordan, and Dan Souchek for standing up for the little guy. Yet, during the infamous Blowing Rock Land Trade, they prevented publication of editorials exposing Virgina Foxx's role in colluding with a crooked Blowing Rock Town Council!! Hypocrisy!!
When the above liberals were asked if they supported or opposed Foxx's role in protecting viewsheds of elitist Blowing Rock town council members through national legislation, they suddenly proclaim they "don't know much about the land trade." Feigned ignorance is a tactic of the extremist left.
The extremist left sure won't give a reason why this occurs, and I often wonder how they are able to look at themselves in the mirror while putting on a bra or shaving.

Sark, I agree and believe what you say. Our premiums have skyrocketed and if they go up again, we will have to just put the money in the bank and insure ourselves. Our deductibles are high so that doesn't help either....so we're in a no win situation. I didn't like the bill at all, so agreed they should have taken it off the table. I want a bill that totally "repeals", Obamacare. I thought the House and Senate sent a Obama a repeal bill and he vetoed it?
Their courage is gone. McCain and his buds that don't like Trump aren't helping the matter. They will be gone when they are up for reelection. They need to move on and they'd better start agreeing on what will be passed. Trump has a lot of things he needs to do...and he'd best get on it.

Insurance companies raise premiums. It's free market.
- March 26, 2017 at 8:49 PM
It is anything but a free market when people are forced to buy a product.
In a free market, you would have a choice of buying insurance or not, have a variety of plans, be able to buy across state lines or even out of the country.
Insurance companies are regulated by the same politicians who mandate you buy it, and anything that is "regulated" is not a free market.
Remember Obamacare was designed to fail, to cause insurance companies to get out of health insurance and force everyone onto a single payer system which is state control of your health.
A truly tyrannical plan.

Anon, you are correct, insurers do raise prices. Now "you" need to take a few minutes to read up on why premiums continue to go up and realize why those of us not taking a subsidy are upset.

Anonymous 5:23 AM you wrote- " ITS A FREE MARKET." Are you kidding me? Any thing even resembling a "free market" in health insurance ended with Obamacare. Obamacare turned insurance companies into tax collectors for the government and ruled by the government. If you didn't catch it on the NEWS, the only reason Obamacare survived the Supreme Court is because it is a tax. Healthcare insurance is no where close to "free market".

Reader- I don't see how a single person with no kids and in their twenties can afford Obamacare. How can they afford the deductible ? I agree with you that the Republican's new health insurance bill should have been taken off the table. The history of laws saying wait for phase 2 and 3 before it becomes a good law usually get worse in phase 2 & 3. But, Trump supported this bill. He shouldn't have.

Conservatives control the US House of Representatives, The U S Senate, The Office of the President of the USA, half of the U S Supreme Court,33 States have Republican Governors and 25 State Legislatures are Conservative Republicans.
Republican political ideology is divisive, fear mongering, based in ignorance, greed, bigotry, and protecting the status quo. Conservatives think all problems can be fixed with more tax cuts for the rich, more guns on the street, more prayer, more flag waving, more jails, more discrimination, more voter suppression, fewer personal freedoms and liberty.

Noneymouse coward,
Have you watched the video entitled "No Guns for Negros"? When we talk about empathy, this includes the conservatives ability to ferret out the racist tendencies of the left. Liberals don't want to admit they have worked for decades to disarm inner city blacks. In other words, liberals like noneymouse coward think blacks are too stupid and untrustworthy to own and operate guns. The fact whites haven't been disarmed to the extent blacks have is testament to this fact. Now we have liberal groups arming themselves and marching in public with assault weapons they have no clue of how to load and operate!!! Hypocrisy squared!. Noneymouse coward, why do you run from the "No Guns For Negros" video? The fact you classify and stereotype those with whom you disagree leads one to wonder how you classify and stereotype Negros? What names do you call them?
Conservatives on the other hand invite gays, women, blacks, and other under-represented ethnicities, races, cultres, etc to uphold and enjoy the 2nd Amendment. Hard to enslave a Negro when he's pointing a gun at you now ain't it? LOL! Liberal socialist jackals are the new plantation owners and have been for sometime. Keep the black man under your thumb, disarm him, and ply him with free money and you'll "own" him forever. noneymouse coward (notice lower case), did Alinsky teach you that or was it Lenin? Stings don't it.

rethuglicans can't fix anything, especially obummercare. These dolts sent bill after bill to obummer repealing obummercare. Now they won't submit a bill to repeal obummercare. What a bunch of Marxists.
OH, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, DID YOU NOTICE THE NAME OF THE ATLANTA FREEWAY BURNER???????????? His name is Basil Eleby. Basil? Isn't that more of a European name? My bet is he's from one of the British Protectorates, hence his European borne name. Notice how the liberal news media is telling you NOTHING of Basil's past (except criminal history). Is he an Atlanta native? Was he born in the United States? I'd say he's an illegal alien due to the medial blackout - including Fox News. Wouldn't that be so inconvenient for the illegal alien lovers (nonymouse coward, PLOP!, POV, Shylock, Biker Bard, and the other village idiots)if this idiot is indeed an alien? Coupled with the illegal alien rapists in Maryland, this would really boost Trump's deportation scheme, and make liberal socialist jackals look even more unreasonable than they already are. Watch how this unfolds - Basil Eleby may be an illegal alien.
How come it's taking so long for police/media/worthless politicians to tell us more about Basil? Something's amiss here, and you, the sheeple, are being mislead once again.

She also says some sources are saying Basil is from somewhere in the Caribbean. If so, many areas of the Caribbean are British Protectorates or former colonies where a name like Basil would be common (like I noted above). We'll see. Oh, and USS Rodger Young says she'll be back here soon enough and to give the liberal socialist jackals her regards!!!! LOL!

Anonymous (Lpov), my personal version of Utopia is a point in time when leaches such as yourself realize they have a personal responsibility to take charge of themselves. After they do this, they might even realize they can take care of others without being forced to waste time and monies by going through governmental extortion to do it. Charity begins at home, but does not end there.
I am not going to bother addressing all of the secifcis you ask about because you would then just ask about others.
Do you believe that people have any responsibility to take care of themselves?
The question of a political Utopia being created is decided every election. The final version will never happen. even though, as Rico says, you lost big time. However, you have been successful in creating an army of governmental dependent slaves to help keep you in power, which is your real objective. We shall see what time brings about.

Conservatives are more interested in the hate, bigotry and greed than an actual vision of a better society.
Conservatives here are running from details of what they actually want government to do or not do is proof they have no vision or mission of improving society, justice, conserving our environment, educating the next generation or improving the lives of their own grandchildren.

Busy morning, just got in from busting out some store front windows, shouting down a guest speaker at the college, marched in a rally against the police and then grocery shopped with my food stamps. Taking the girlfriend for an abortion at 12, then going to march in the pro marijuana rallies. Busy the rest of the afternoon making new cardboard signs asking for spare change.
I feel good about helping society.

Conservative have to resort by debating with lies because factual information is not on your side. What are the institutions of Government Conservatives want to conserve and what are the ones they want to destroy is a valid question any of you should be able to answer.
What do you actually want government to do or not do? What is your personal vision or mission of improving society, justice, conserving our environment, educating the next generation or improving the lives of your own grandchildren?

Anon, 11:14 as a conservative, I can't answer your rants because you being a leftie, I will suspect you of undermining the Constitution. You and I might agree on a lot of good things people could do for one another. I doubt if we would ever agree on who would do it. The Costittuion relegates most of the things you ask about as responsibilities of local governments. Other helping groups include private organizations such as the Red Cross etc. Then there are individuals who create foundations like Bill Gates, etc. then there are neighbors helping neighbors, etc. Because of the above and because I am a Consttutional Conservative and your group likes to think of themselves as "Progressive "' we will never be able to converse. So unless you want to argue from the Constitution, stop wasting my time and space on my blog.

The personal vision is not one of Victimology like it is with the left. We don't see ourselves as victims, but as progenitors of freedom, liberty, limited government, and the one you liberal jackals dread the most: personal responsibility. Self made victims (you) look to others for help, often compelling others to support your victim status via ill conceived legislation. Then when that doesn't work, you dolts enslave traditionally enslaved ethnic and racial groups (Blacks) via keeping them on the welfare hook. The more slaves you socialist jackals can put on the line, the more freedom thinkers you control. It didn't work for you last November though. The very group you ask inane question after inane question was able to eschew Victimology in favor of a bit more personal responsibility.
And it drives the liberal socialist jackals (you) crazy. But then again, it was you that said "Machts Niches Bitches" only to eat an extremely heavy dose of well done crow a few days later. LOL!! Stings don't it.

The RINO Party in Watauga County is full of losers. What a bunch of liberal lite dolts. Conservatives supported you for a long time, but we're wise to the status quo style synonymous with power hungry RINOs. The Blowing Rock Land Trade was the first insight into this phenomenon, and it has since blossomed into hyper awareness on the part of well informed conservatives. Good times.

- April 17, 2017 at 7:11 AM
I have grandchildren, dolt. THEIR future is very important to me. It is imperative that the country return to the path of fiscal conservatism, that the rampart over regulation of business and schools be eliminated, that taxes be cut to bring businesses back into this county in order to not only provide jobs, but also investment opportunities, and the illegal aliens be deported in order to let the rule of supply and demand set the wages of citizens of this country.
I think the Blowing Rock land trade started being worked on in 2000 or 2001. Is that about right, Rico?
- April 17, 2017 at 5:09 PM
Oh! You brought up fiscal conservatism? What the cost is those trips to Mar Largo? What was the cost of the show of force in bombing near the Syria Air Field?

nonymouse coward,
You have far more questions to answer than the Blowing Rock Land Trade. In fact, quit being so lazy and research it yourself and then we'll talk about government depredations and how that affects children/grandchildren.
The 20 trillion debt that your idol, Hussein obummer (notice lower case) racked up in 8 short years. Does that resonate with you in terms of your kids/grandkids future? If so, why no mention of it, ever, in the liberal news media? You've never mentioned it in your wild, incomprehensible ramblings either. How about the violence perpetrated by liberals at places like Berkely, Charlotte, and other places - is that what you teach your kids; attack those with whom you disagree? Tough questions aren't they my cowardly friend?
Ever notice how noneymouse coward waits until Monday to comment. He knows conservatives are out working to keep the welfare flowing and don't have time to mess with his nonsense. LOL!!! Stings don't it.

Bears defense overwhelms Jaguars in lopsided win
- Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs had touchdown interception returns for Chicago.
- The Bears scored 38 unanswered points, 35 in the second half.
- For the first time since 1950, Chicago returns INTs for TDs in three consecutive games.
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The Chicago Bears are turning their defense into a scoring offense.
Charles Tillman and Lance Briggs returned interceptions for touchdowns — their second in six days — and the Bears used stifling defense to overwhelm the Jacksonville Jaguars 41-3 Sunday.
The Bears (4-1) scored 38 unanswered points, including 35 in the second half, to win their third consecutive game. The streak has everything to do with defense.
Chicago has returned five interceptions for touchdowns in the last three weeks.
Tillman and Briggs returned two of the team's five interceptions for touchdowns in Monday night's 34-18 victory at Dallas. Safety Major Wright returned one the previous week against St. Louis.
Tillman's second interception return for a TD this season — a 36-yarder in the third quarter — was a history maker. It was the first time since 1950 that Chicago returned interceptions for touchdowns in three consecutive games.
It also proved to be the decisive play in a game that saw as many punts (six) as points in the first half.
The Jaguars (1-4) never recovered and played the final quarter amid a chorus of boos. Jacksonville now heads into its bye week with serious questions about what owner Shad Khan will do with general manager Gene Smith, quarterback Blaine Gabbert and maybe even first-year coach Mike Mularkey.
Khan kept Smith during the ownership change and allowed him to handle the coaching search.
The Jaguars have been awful in three home games this season. They managed 117 yards in the home opener against Houston, 212 yards last week against Cincinnati and finished with 188 yards Sunday.
Gabbert completed 17 of 33 passes for 142 yards, with the two interceptions. The Bears stacked the line of scrimmage, clearly wanting to shut down Maurice Jones-Drew. It worked, as Jones-Drew finished with 56 yards on 12 carries.
Tillman's touchdown seemed to sap the life out of the Jaguars, who then allowed consecutive scoring drives after playing stout defense in the first half.
Jay Cutler hooked up with rookie Alshon Jeffery for a 10-yard score on the first play of the fourth quarter, and then found Brandon Marshall for a 24-yarder with 8:37 remaining.
Briggs' score came after that, a 36-yard return that made it 34-3.
Cutler completed 23 of 39 passes for 292 yards, with two TDs and an interception. Jason Campbell played the final few minutes of the game.
Marshall caught 12 passes for 144 yards. Matt Forte ran 22 times for 107 yards.
Few outsiders gave Jacksonville a chance, calling this an obvious mismatch. The only thing that seemingly gave the Jaguars a chance was catching Chicago on a short week. The Bears got home from Dallas early Tuesday and were back on a plane Saturday.
As surprising as the Jaguars were early, they were equally disappointing late.

Agency has mothballed $14 million machines in a Texas warehouse
Steve Watson
Nov 16, 2012
A TSA official was given a grilling in a House hearing yesterday concerning information suggesting that one of the vendors of the agency's x-ray body scanning machines may have faked tests on software which was supposed to eliminate naked images of passengers passing through the devices.
The House Homeland Security subcommittee on transportation chaired a hearing entitled "TSA's Recent Scanner Shuffle: Real Strategy or Wasteful Smokescreen?"
During the hearing, the subject of Rapiscan allegedly manipulating operational tests on the machines was raised.
As we reported yesterday, on November 9, Rapiscan received a show-cause letter from the TSA demanding to know why the company was not complying with the TSA's terms in failing to develop the privacy friendly software.
It appears that the discovery of potential faking of test results put into advanced motion a move by the TSA to remove over 90 of the body scanners from major airports. Initially, the agency claimed that the machines were being moved to smaller airports to alleviate passenger queues at the bigger hubs. However, it has now been revealed that the machines, worth a total of around $14 million, have actually been mothballed in a warehouse in Texas.
In his opening statement Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) noted "At this time, I'd like to insert a letter for the hearing record that I sent to Administrator Pistole yesterday expressing concern about recent allegations of contractor malfeasance that may have led to the failed tests that put us in this situation. Without objection, so ordered. I hope we can get some answers today on this extremely disturbing situation.
After submitting prepared comments, and when questioned on the allegations, John Sanders, TSA's assistant administrator for security capabilities, told Rogers that he was unable to speak in detail about the case because investigations into the matter were ongoing.
"I wouldn't say, sir, that we believe…have any evidence that documents that they absolutely did,,," Sanders said when Rogers asked him when exactly the TSA found out about the vendor potentially faking test results on the machines.
"We have contacted the manufacturer to ask for additional information, so that we can look into the matter further." Sanders said.
The TSA official then repeated thoroughly debunked claims that the TSA has had the machines independently tested to verify they are safe for public use, and effective.
As we have exhaustively documented, numerous prestigious health bodies have indicated that the backscatter x-ray devices will statistically cause an increase in cancer, including Johns Hopkins, Columbia University, the University of California, and the Inter-Agency Committee on Radiation Safety. To put that in perspective, the probability of dying in a terrorist attack is the same as the probability of getting cancer when passing through the x-ray scanner just one time.
Johns Hopkins' biophysics expert Dr Michael Love warned that, "statistically someone is going to get skin cancer from these X-rays," after conducting a study of the naked body scanners.
It has also been proven that the scanner can be fooled by sewing a metallic object into the side of one's clothing, rendering the entire $1 billion dollar fleet of machines virtually useless.
A recently discovered Homeland Security report also noted that federal investigators have "identified vulnerabilities in the screening process" involving the scanners.
Multiple other security experts have gone on record saying that the scanners are ineffective.
During yesterday's hearing, Rep. Rogers, who described the issue as "aggravating", also asked why the body scanners had been mothballed and not put into use in a security lane where it was made clear that they were operating without privacy software. TSA official Sanders replied that the agency was attempting to comply with the mandate to have the privacy software on all machines by June 2013.
Sanders was not able to say how soon the software would be updated for the mothballed scanners, but said that he was confident the TSA would make the June 1st deadline.
In a statement for the record, privacy rights group The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) highlighted public concerns about the use of body scanners, including health and privacy risks, and the failure of the TSA to take public comments on the program.
The federal government has invested close to a billion dollars so far into a fleet of 800 scanners, and the TSA has outlined plans to buy nearly 1,000 more in the next two years.
The TSA is continuing plans to roll out more full body scanners in airports across the country despite the fact that another recent Congressional report concluded that the agency "is wasting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars by inefficiently deploying screening equipment and technology to commercial airports."

The first time I experienced the magic of Matjiesfontein, I visited the town to do some writing, following in the footsteps of Rudyard Kipling and Olive Schreiner before me, who had both hidden away in the small Karoo town to pen their masterpieces. I like to think they too favoured the stark lunar landscape of the surrounding Karoo, the cosy fireside of the Laird's Arms and the tales of merry ghosts playing billiards, to rattle up the muses. That such a small town could hold such great wonder is part of its magic. Perhaps because it is arrested in time, frozen in the elegance of a bygone era that it can so easily transport one out of reality and into daydreams.
History plays a central role in Matjiesfontein. Founded in 1884 by James Douglas Logan, it was originally an insignificant railway halt in the depths of the Karoo. Entranced by the surrounding landscape, Logan created a village seemingly in the middle of nowhere which would make his fortune and become for many a tranquil retreat.

While Cape Town and Johannesburg are the South African cities most well-known to international visitors, the sunshine-drenched port of Durban has become a popular attraction since being rediscovered by tourists during the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Called eThekwini in local language Zulu, which simply means bay, the city of Durban's rich history, beaches and her famous 'Golden Mile' are a subtropical delight on the Kwa-Zulu Natal province's coastline. While local holiday-makers usually trek a little further to Umhlanga for their school breaks, the Durban metropolitan is being revitalised, with the new world-class King Shaka International Airport having recently opened to travellers, the breathtaking Moses Mabhida stadium with a capacity of 54,000 and the ever-popular uShaka Marine World, which is the fifth largest aquariums in the world and is home to Gambit, who is the world's biggest bottlenose dolphin in an ocean aquarium.

The charming little village of Darling has a big reputation for spectacular wildflowers, and it's for this reason that it's known as The Flower of the West Coast. In fact, the wealth of flora and natural flowers is undeniably its biggest asset. Summertime sees the town nestled between golden fields of wheat and perspiring vineyards, and winter's rolling green pastoral hills are dotted with arum lilies and grazing cows. It's spring time though, that sees Darling blossom into fiery, flowering brilliance and bloom into a must-see stopover along the West Coast Road.

Capetonians are lucky for several reasons... scenic splendour, rich history and vibrant culture. Personally I would include the variety of quick day-trip escapes to the list. With a little petrol and whole day ahead of you, the world of the West Coast begs to be discovered.
Top of my list is Paternoster. One of South Africa's last remaining traditional fishing villages, Paternoster is quaint without being cutesy and romantic, without trying too hard. Paternoster, although much changed in the modern world, remains closely associated with fishing and the sea. Brightly painted fishing boats line the beach and fishermen sell crayfish, or kreef as it's known, from roadside intersections.

Album Rating: 4.5I really like this album and this band. Hope I didn't go too overboard with the review though
The review was well writen but you could of done alot better by adding an extra paragraph or two describing the music.
i think he could have done a LITTLE better describing the music, but he did a descent enough job on the 5th paragraph This Message Edited On 07.14.08
He did do a good on that paragraph but adding a few more paragraphs would make it way better.
or way too long honestly. i agree there could be a little more detail though
Yeah, you could have made up more for the "pretentious soapbox" portion of your review with some more music description thereafter.
Well written, but most of the first two paragraphs seem unnecessary
Album Rating: 4.5Added a bit more description of the actual music. Thanks for the praise and comments.
I really don't like the vocals on this album at all, they take away a lot from the 'music'.This Message Edited On 09.11.08
maybe because today wasn't the day

no my friend...today is the day
ahaha, day-umm ;)This Message Edited On 09.11.08

Conservation and Environment in Peru: Monthly Updates
Monthly Updates from 2011
As another year comes to a close it is immensely satisfying to look back over our accomplishments from the last 12 months. With the help and dedication of 242 volunteers, 2011 has flown by and we have made huge progress in so many of our projects and new discoveries in our biodiversity research.
It is with great pride and satisfaction that I am writing this latest update as November 5th saw us celebrate our ten year anniversary here at the Taricaya Research Centre. In those ten years we have received 1324 volunteers and with the help of each last one we have been able to accomplish so much in our efforts to help save the most diverse ecosystem on the planet.
My apologies for the delay in getting back to you all with the comings and goings at our research centre in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. With so much going on time just seems to fly by and before I knew it I have two months worth of news to report and little time to do it in. A great problem as far as our project's success goes, slightly more demanding on a personal front trying to fit everything in!
As the dry season continues, river levels drop and food becomes scarcer around the rainforest. It is a difficult time for the animals as they must forage over larger areas spreading out through the forest and making themselves more vulnerable to predators both natural and human!
Once again it is time to bring you all up to date on the latest from our research centre deep in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. It has been a while since I last reported our news and that is simply a result of so much going on and with over 40 people, staff and volunteers combined, working full time around the reserve we have achieved a great deal.
It has been a very productive month at Taricaya with all beds taken and many pairs of hands willing to tackle the hard work week in week out. As usual there is plenty to report on including a fantastic sighting of a juvenile jaguar sitting on the river bank!
As the rains move on and the river starts to drop dramatically it is the start of a special time of year in the rainforest as the swamp levels start to fall and we can once again start to move more freely all over the reserve. Animals still find plenty of food available but now they start searching for mates so that the young will be born to coincide with the beginning of the next wet season.
What a great month in the Amazon as the rains finally eased off and allowed us to tackle many projects simultaneously. With all beds full and volunteers eager to do their part we have managed to progress in our biodiversity research with many new discoveries for the reserve, we have started the new spider monkey cage, the mammal census has continued with some great sightings, the pilot farm saw us clearing reforestation transects and so much more.
Whilst February is the shortest month of the year it is no surprise to have a headache as to where to begin as we have been working hard on several different fronts over the recent weeks. Our emphasis has been on the exciting new mammal census, the new turtle house and large scale clearing and recovery work on the pilot farm.
With a new year come new challenges and 2011 promises to be our most exciting yet as we continue to evolve; improving and expanding our existing projects whilst designing and implementing new ones. January has been an exciting time for everybody and as soon as the festive period finished volunteers started flooding in eager to work hard and do their bit in conserving the Amazon rainforest.

Investigators are back at the Antioch property of Phillip and Nancy Garrido, the couple suspected of kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard.
Investigators from Hayward and Dublin joined the search Tuesday of the property on Walnut Avenue as well as the next door neighbor's property. Several agencies from across the Bay Area and around the country have looked into the couple ever since news broke of that Dugard had been found.
There are dozens of investigators searching.
Hayward officers were at the property seeking information related to the case of Michaela Garecht, who was abducted in 1998 at age 9 outside of a Hayward grocery store, officers said.

Michaela Garecht's mother is expected to come to the property late Tuesday afternoon. She said she will speak to reporters at a news conference set for 4:30 p.m.
Hayward police officer Chris Orrey said they have had an investigator on the case from the beginning and have investigated 13,000 tips. Orrey said the Garrido tip was one of the strongest she is aware of in all that time. She noted similarities in the manner of abduction, ages of the victims and suspect descriptions from the Garecht and Dugard abductions.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"We're taking another shot at the property to see what we can find," Orrey said.
Investigators say they would tear the entire house down if they felt it was needed. They said they would not leave the property without a complete search of the large piece of property.
Day one of the search did not find anything of significance according to investigators. They said they did find things of interest that will be taken back to each city for further evaluation.
When asked if they have learned anything from Jaycee Dugard's interview with the FBI, investigators said they had spoken to the FBI but did not have anything specific from the Dugard interview that lead them to the Antioch home.
Michaela's mom came to the house Tuesday and spoke to reporters.
Sharon Murch said she came to support the Hayward police department's effort.
She said if Jaycee Dugard can come home alive and well after 18 years, her daughter can also come home alive and well as well.
Murch also made a direct appeal to her daughter. "Michaela if you are out there, I want you to know we love you and miss you and there is nothing you could have done over the 20 years to change that."
Dublin investigators were also part of the new search. They are there looking for ties to Ilene Misheloff, who was 13 when she disappeared in 1989.
Dublin officer Lt. Kurt von Savoye said Garrido had been released from prison just a few months prior to Ilene's disappearance.

"People who commit these offenses tend to be predatory" and generally have multiple victims, von Savoye said.
Both agencies promised a very methodical search of the property. Aerial footage of Garrido's backyard showed at least one officer on his hands and knees searching blades of grass by hand. Hayward and Dublin investigators said they also planned to use ground-penetrating radar in their search.
The originaly search of the properties found a bone fragment which authorities have said it is likely a human bone. Tests are still being performed on that bone.
The search could last into next week and sources say it could include digging and knocking down buildings on the property.
Pittsburg police also searched the property for clues linking the couple to the murders of prostitutes but later said they found no evidence to tie the Garridos to those cases.
Monday, a judge set bail for Phillip Garrido, a convicted sex offender, at $30 million in the Dugard case.
Nancy Garrido is being held without bail.
Both defendants are due back in court in late October.
The Garridos are charged with kidnapping Dugard from South Lake Tahoe in 1991.
The district attorney said after court that Dugard and her two children, who authorities say were fathered by Garrido, are "doing exceptionally well" under the circumstances.
The district attorney's office said it could take a year to 18 months to bring the case to trial.

Ailing Nelson Mandela spends first night at home
- The anti-apartheid leader remains in critical and sometimes unstable condition
- His health remains so poor that he still must receive intensive care at home
- Mandela was hospitalized on June 8 for a recurring lung infection
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — South Africans on Monday welcomed Nelson Mandela's discharge from a hospital after nearly three months of treatment amid concerns that his health remains so poor that he still must receive intensive care at home.
An ambulance returned the 95-year-old leader of the anti-apartheid movement to his home in the leafy Johannesburg neighborhood of Houghton on Sunday. The office of South African President Jacob Zuma said Mandela remains in critical and sometimes unstable condition and will receive the same level of care that he did in the hospital, administered by the same doctors.
Authorities kept a large contingent of journalists away from the entrance to Mandela's house, and police patrolled tree-lined streets in the area. Some grandchildren and other relatives of the former leader visited the home, but did not comment to the media.
When Mandela was hospitalized, many people left written tributes outside the perimeter wall of his home, turning the area into a makeshift shrine. Most of the messages were later removed.
"If he's back at home, I'm feeling free," said Harrison Phiri, a gardener. "He's the father of the nation."
Thembisa Mbolambi, another Johannesburg resident, also expressed satisfaction that Mandela had left the hospital in Pretoria, describing him as "the man who offered himself for us."
The Star, a South African newspaper, carried a headline that read, "Madiba At Home," referring to Mandela by his clan name. The newspaper noted that "worries over infection persist."
A headline in The New Age newspaper was more upbeat: "World joy for Mandela."
Mandela was admitted to the hospital on June 8 for what the government described as a recurring lung infection. Legal papers filed by his family said he was on life support, and many South Africans feared he was close to death.
Mandela, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, is viewed around the world as a powerful figure of reconciliation. Despite being jailed for his prominent role in opposing white racist rule, Mandela was seemingly free of rancor on his release in 1990 after 27 years in prison.
He became a unifying leader who led South Africa through a delicate transition to all-race elections that propelled him to the presidency in 1994.

New Hampshire Business Review, April 5-18, 1991
{Reprinted with permission of the New Hampshire Business Review}
"RMC Research Corp. expects literacy to be the education "issue of the '90s." [Photo by Peter Graf]
For two former teachers, sizing up education has become one of the fastest growing businesses in the Northeast.
But when Dr. Everett W. Barnes Jr. and Christine Dwyer reflect back on their time as partners for RMC of Hampton, they can thank one William B. Wilson of Odessa, Texas for helping learn what to do. Or, not to do.
RMC's 1990 sales figures were $5.8 million. The company which does education research, program evaluation, technical assistance and training for the private sector, state and federal agencies, did only $118,000 in 1985, its first year under the stewardship of Barnes and Dwyer.
The two had purchased the company from Wilson, for whom they had worked after Wilson, whose business specialty was in oil and gas, had bought it in 1982. Although a genial man who has remained on friendly terms with Barnes and Dwyer, the RMC partners say that the Texan was far over his head with RMC.
"He never knew about our aspect of his business," says Dwyer a former Granite State schoolteacher of 44.
According to Barnes a 48-year-old ex-teacher and school principal with 17 years of program research and evaluation experience, Wilson wanted RMC to become a cash cow.
"But we were never able to generate those kind of revenues for him," Barnes said.
Wilson was hoping that RMC would enable him to enter the lucrative microcomputer-automation field, Federal government contracts were not perceived as a worthwhile venture, largely because of the low profit return (average 5-6 percent before taxes). Wilson eventually filed bankruptcy in 1984, and the wheels were set in motion for Barnes and Dwyer to assume full control. Wilson's lessons have stayed fresh in their minds.
The big thing to remember? Know your business and love your business. If you don't do both of these things, you'll probably fail. And, cliched though it sounds, serve the customer properly.
"Many have the attitude that it's the customer's problem if they aren't smart enough to push you for better service," Barnes says. "We don't."
RMC had 14 employees when Barnes and Dwyer took over in 1985. It now has 96. The company has enjoyed a 132 percent sales increase since 1988, and now has six office locations.
RMC's success package has not gone unnoticed by heavy-hitter companies. Connecticut Mutual has invited RMC to be considered for the Blue Chip Enterprise Award, inviting the firm to write a story on it's history and submit it for review to a panel of small business experts. Out of four finalists from each state, one such business will be chosen to represent the state. Then, those 51 businesses will be narrowed down to only three which will be recognized at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Annual Meeting in April of this year.
"I think we thought the company was solid," Barnes says. "But I don't think we set out to do this."
The major portion of RMC's business is done with the federal government on educational programs. RMC acts as the eyes and ears of the feds, who want to know how their policies are faring. The firm's clients have included the Department of Education, Department of State, Department of Labor and Department of Health and Human Services as well as several state agencies.
RMC is the developer of "Drug Avengers," an animated drug education video for elementary school students that was disseminated to 18,000 schools across the country. Drug Avengers also contained accompanying print material to guide parents and teachers in drug discussions with children. The program won a number of national awards and widespread acclaim for its impact, has been translated into Spanish and is broadcast overseas.
The Hampton-based consultant has also served its home state. Five years ago, RMC worked with a New Hampshire task force on a study of special education management information, funded through the state Legislature. And RMC also served as a subcontractor to Dover-based Development Assistance Corp. on a job to study early childhood programs for the U.S. Dept. of Education. Other examples of RMC contracts -- an evaluation of the effectiveness of industry based bilingual vocational training programs on employee job aptitude; an analysis of federally-funded school dropout prevention programs; and the development of computer-assisted software for the teaching/rehabilitation of decision-making skills for traumatically-injured individuals.
Dwyer and Barnes say they faced no small task when they assumed control of RMC after the buyout. While both felt that government contracts were a good tack, RMC faced a formidable foe -- the congressional lobby.
The firm's efforts to drum up business were hindered by a powerful lobby from public and private nonprofit organizations, who argued that, on competition related to education and human services, only nonprofits should be selected.
The nonprofits contention was that not-for-profits were less expensive than for-profit entities. However, Barnes notes that this is not the case, contending that noprofits tend to be more costly in terms of salaries, benefits and other over-head items.
Barnes adds: "Nonprofits charge a fee just as for-profits do. The only difference is that nonprofits have no stockholders."
So RMC labored through the tough times, as Barnes and Dwyer say they tried to hire good people who would promote new business development and strived for stability in the procurement of new contracts. It worked.
Asked when RMC truly came of age, Dwyer answers that it was probably "three Octobers ago." That's when the company secured four big contracts that netted $5 million in value over their three-year lives.
"I think this was a turning point," Dwyer says. it caught a lot of people's attention that what was a relatively small company could turn over all that at once."
Now, RMC actually has to turn down some business because it fears it would not have adequate staff. And the firm has found a very level playing field when it competes for contracts, as technical merit is used as a much more valued yardstick than the low bid. And the feds have been very eager to learn, valuing the company's expertise.
"A new kid on the block has a great chance (to get government contracts) in education," Dwyer says. "In education, nobody has a lot of confidence that they have the answer."
Barnes insists that RMC does not make sales goals. However, RMC does want to make sure that its portfolio stays attractive. Barnes says that the firm would like to do more in the areas of drug and alcohol prevention education, and adds that there should be a steady market for literacy-inthe-workplace programs. By "literacy-inthe-workplace," Barnes says that he means not only math and reading skills, but also judgment, teamwork and problem-solving prowess.
"Literacy is going to be the issue of the '90s," Barnes says. "I'd say that our biggest challenge is to (keep diversified)."
Barnes and Dwyer like their employees to have experience handling heavy responsibility with the clients. Only one employee that is an officer of the company — the director of finance — is not also a project manager. Barnes makes it policy to assign company tasks to the staff in-house. He is not big on the hiring of consultants. We don't want part-time people," he says. We want full-time people who work in the office, not at home."
While RMC may not set sales goals, they do make plans to achieve sales, and expect the market to continue to be a friendly one for them. "On the federal level, there is really a desire for (education) reform," Dwyer says. "A contractor such as our-selves is a huge resource because we're like the arms to extend their agenda."
Dwyer also believes that maintaining an experienced staff makes a huge difference between success and failure.
"I'd say that (personal stability) is the thing that makes us different from many of our competitors. And our clients are people we've dealt with for years."

WDRB's Valerie Chinn leads a very full life. In fact, in the fullness of her life, some might say she leads enough for two or three lives. She is the co-anchor for the 11:30 a.m newscast. She is a full-time reporter for the 4 p.m. newscast and a full-time wife and the mother of three children. Yes, Valerie Chinn is a modern day Super-Mom.
Chinn has been anchoring the news for about 14 years, and says she likes the mixture between anchoring and reporting. The mixture is reminiscent of her college days at the University of Missouri and its NBC affiliate, KOMU, where she worked part-time. After graduating from there, she went to work at Austin, Minn. for 1 1/2 years, before moving on to Duluth, Minn. for another 1 1/2 years. She left Duluth to come to Louisville in June, 2001.
When she arrived here, Chinn had little intention of staying long. Chinn saw Louisville as a stepping stone to a larger TV market.
"When I moved here, I thought, 'I'll just stay in Louisville for a couple of years,'" Chinn said. "And 11 years later, I am still here."
Chinn was born on March 2, in Portland, Ore. She explained her Asian beauty this way: "My father is Chinese. My mother is Vietnamese. They met during the war. My Dad was in the U.S Army."
Chinn went to Aloha High School in Portland and served on the school newspaper, The Warrior, for three years.
"In high school, in 10th grade, I tried journalism class and the school newspaper and loved it," Chinn said. "And from there I was hooked."
Chinn loves her workplace at WDRB-41 TV.
"I am happy where I am at," Chinn said. "I love my job. What we have here is unique. That is why people stay here for such a long time. We are 'family.' We are 'family-friendly,' too."
Chinn says the same about her adopted hometown of Louisville: "family-friendly." She also likes Louisville for its low cost of living, its good schools and its weather (too much rain in Portland).
The only thing she would change about Louisville is she would love to see a Nordstrom rack store here.
Chinn's days are filled with activity, that usually start at about 6 a.m.
"I have three children, ages 7, 5, and 3." Chinn said. "The mornings are filled with getting them ready for school." She usually runs errands and arrives at work by 9 a.m.
Then she has a news meeting till 9:30 a.m. and writes news until 11:15 a.m.
"Then I report as soon as I go off the air at noon and do a story that will air at 4 o'clock," Chinn said.
Chinn says that there is a certain amount of pressure to write and edit stories by 4 p.m. each day, but has grown accustom to it.
Chinn says, "the work day is over at 5, if there is no breaking news (and) after that it is family time.
Then it is Boy Scouts, piano lessons and Tae Kwon Do."
Chinn usually retires around 11 p.m. each night, but is often up until midnight.
Most people would agree, that is a very productive day.

What I Have Lived For
Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the verge of despair.
I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy --- ecstasy so great that I would have sacrificed all the rest of life for a few hours of this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness --- that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what --- at last --- I have found.

SAN RAMON, CA -- 24 Hour Fitness has launched a Cardless Check-In program that uses fingerprints to identify club members.
The San Ramon, CA-based company currently has the system in select clubs in California, Nevada and Texas and in all clubs in Arizona, Hawaii, Maryland, New Jersey and New York. The company says it plans to have the system in place in all clubs by the end of the year.
After enrolling in the Cardless Check-In program, members can check into a 24 Hour club by entering a code and placing their finger on a finger scanner. During the scanning, 24 Hour charts the distance between a few distinct points and assigns a unique number based on those distances. 24 Hour says it will not store member fingerprints, nor will it store the data recreated into a fingerprint image.
Those members who do not wish to enroll in the program will need to bring a driver's license or a government- or school-issued ID each time they enter the club. Members will still need their card to enter clubs that do not yet have the system.

Melky collects two RBIs, both off pitchers' legs
Blue Jays left fielder lines ball off Red Sox's Peavy, Badenhop in victory
TORONTO -- Melky Cabrera played a pivotal role in the Blue Jays' 7-3 victory over the Red Sox on Tuesday night, doing so in rather unique fashion.
Cabrera had a pair of RBI singles that went off opposing pitchers' legs. In both cases, the ball didn't travel very far, but was enough out of Boston's reach to make an impact.
The first RBI single came in the second inning. With Anthony Gose on second base, Cabrera hit a sharp grounder off the leg of Boston right-hander Jake Peavy. The ball ricocheted into foul territory and by the time Peavy collected it, it was too late to get Cabrera at first.
The second incident happened in the seventh when Cabrera once again drilled a grounder at his opponent. This time the victim was right-hander Burke Badenhop and by the time third baseman Xander Bogaerts fielded the ball, he didn't have a play as Gose came around to score for a second time.
"We get a ricochet and we can't cut down a run at home plate for that added run in the seventh," Red Sox manager John Farrell said. "In the eighth inning, the two runs, they loomed a little more large. It's a 5-3 game, we have the go-ahead run at the plate, it changes the entire complexity -- we made a strong push to come back, but down six, it's a major difference."
Cabrera, who finished 3-for-5, has hit safely in 12 of his past 15 games. It was his ninth game with at least three hits and his 37th multihit game. He has reached base in all but 21 of his 100 games this season.

On 5 June 2010, the International Appalachian Trail (IAT) officially welcomed Scotland and the West Highland Way (WHW) as the first European Chapter of the IAT; a year after the British Geological Survey (BGS) invited an IAT delegation from Maine and Newfoundland to visit Scotland.
This visit was the first step in fulfilling a vision to extend the existing 1350 miles of IAT trails in the US and Canada with trails in Greenland, Scotland and other countries on the western seaboard of Europe and on through to Morocco; countries or regions that were all once part of the ancient Caledonian–Appalachian Mountain chain.
Hugh Barron, BGS, said:
'As well as our cultural links, Scotland shares an older geological heritage with this region. We have been close neighbours on ancient continents, shared in the building of the Caledonian– Appalachian mountain chain, and only (geologically) recently separated by the opening of the North Atlantic Ocean.'
'The opening of the Atlantic Ocean separated the Appalachians from Scotland, but we are in the process of restoring these ancient links by celebrating our common geological heritage through long-distance walking routes.
The West Highland Way is only the beginning in Scotland — we now have interest from representatives of the Ayrshire Coastal Path and the Cape Wrath Trail in joining the network, which could provide valuable tourism interest from the North American market.
The Scottish geoparks, North West Highlands, Lochaber and Shetland are also keen to be linked by IAT routes, as are geoparks in Wales.'
Gordon Forrester, Manager of the West Highland Way said:
'The West Highland Way is very proud to be the first European member of the IAT. We aim to build on shared cultural heritage and our love of the great outdoors. If we can work together to increase interest and inspire even more people to rekindle their connections with the countryside it will have a positive impact on everybody's quality of life.'
Paul Wylezol, IAT President, commented:
'We are very excited to have the West Highland Way on board and would love to see other Scottish trails such as the Ayrshire Coastal Path link-up with the renowned Appalachian Trail brand to provide opportunities for friendly ties between Scotland and North America and help renew and expand cultural links.
IAT trails help expand local adventure tourism industries, and in particular to create employment and business opportunities in rural areas, including accommodation, transportation, guiding and interpretation, and retail sales, including local arts and crafts.'
'The long-term goal of the IAT is to locate sections of the IAT in all the countries or regions that were once part of the ancient Caledonian–Appalachian Mountain range, from East Greenland to Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Norway, France, Spain, Portugal and Morocco. Trails already exist along much of the conceptual route, planners point out, so participating countries in many cases can mark certain trail segments with the IAT sign to make it part of the network.'
The existing IAT stretches from the northern terminus of the Appalachian Trail at Mount Katahdin in the US state of Maine to the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland/ Labrador. It connects two countries, five provinces, one state, and the English, French and Celtic cultures of North America.
The welcome took place on 5 June 2010 at the opening of the Appalachian Trail Museum in Pennsylvania. Joining IAT President Paul Wylezol in welcoming Scotland and the WHW were Appalachian Trail Conservancy Executive Director Dave Startzell, Pennsylvania Secretary of Conservation and Natural Resources John Quigley, AT Museum officials and other local officials.
