I see that you're not asking for questions from the peanut gallery.
I sent you mine for the last debate (asking if either candidate lied or embellished or otherwise made promises he knew he couldn't keep and why he did so) and, boy, did that thread disappear quickly. LOL!

Mitt Romney called for taxes on the poor, saying low-income Americans having no income tax liability is "a problem" that will "kill the country."

Having half the country w/ no skin in the game when it comes to the Federal budget & deficit is a massive problem and moral hazard. The lack of any consequences for them financially creates a massive disincentive to vote for fiscally responsible candidates. But not like you care, you just spam the site w/ your useless copy and paste posts.
7:45 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Low income people have plenty of skin in the game. They pay FICA (social security), Medicare, state income taxes, sales taxes, and a myriad of other fees. The reason low income people pay no FEDERAL INCOME TAXES is because after they take the EXACT SAME EXEMPTIONS AND DEDUCTIONS that YOU take, their income is below the threshhold required for federal income tax. They are not "tax evaders", they just earn to little to have to pay tax. People like you astound me, because it seems you would switch places with a low-income struggling person JUST so you wouldn't have to pay income tax!
8:29 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Ojo you claim to buy your health insurance as an individual. Every penny of that is tax deductible right off the top, lowering your tax rate. Do you consider that you have no skin in the game?
Ojo Rojo

Bellair, you are a fool. Everyone in this country who actually pays taxes has all sorts of deductions and we all have skin in the game b/c we still end up paying income taxes at the end of the day. Half of us pay so that the other half can complain they aren't getting enough even though they don't put in a dime of their own money and that just isn't fair to the rest of us.

No you sub 200 SAT scoring gas pumping product of the public school system. I pay income taxes even after every deduction I take. Half of this country doesn't pay income taxes. Period, end of story.
9:13 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Conjunctivitis, here are some of your 47% with n skin in the game:
According to the non-partisan Tax Policy Center, some 3,000 of the 76 million taxpayers that were expected to pay no federal income taxes in 2011 were members of Romney's cohort, making nearly $2.2 million per year, which puts them in the top 0.1 percent income bracket.
Another 24,000 taxpayers expected to pay no income taxes last year were in the top 1 percent income bracket, according to the TPC, making between $532,613 and $2.2 million per year.
Ojo Rojo
9:23 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
B@B - Social Security and Medicare have nothing to do w/ the Federal Budget or deficit. Those are on the other side of a budgetary wall. So no, if you don't pay income taxes then you have absolutely no skin in the game when it comes to the Federal Budget or deficit. You have less than no skin in the game if you get any sort of refund or payment in excess of whatever was withheld by your employer for income taxes like w/ respect to the EITC.
Oh, and here is a little history on the budgetary treatment of Social Security if you care to learn a little something. It may not be politically convenient for you though to absorb this little snippet of historical information on Social Security's budgetary treatment.

Stew, the only one thats going to kill this country is obummer the idiot because his whole agenda is about destroying our economy and making us all dependent on the government for a living. Thats why there are more people on food stamps than ever before and thats why many don't want to lose what they have, so they vote for him to keep the goodies coming, they don't have to work then. Its just another way of buying votes as he did when he gave 12 million illegal alien amnesty, all for the votes.
This jerk is dangerous to this country and is out to hurt this country and our economy and he is a traitor and needs to go.

The headline is not true: the TARP funding included money for Wall Street funding of underwater mortgage instruments and other exotic loans rather than reinvestments in corporations - and it was totally a product of the Bush administration, having been passed into law almost a month before the 2008 election. The bailouts funded by the current administration generated interest on top of the reinvestments in industry since the bailouts were paid back in the form of stock buybacks to the federal government, and as the industries stock values improved, more money was returned to the government.
Ojo Rojo
8:40 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
TARP also included a ton of money to bailout the UAW through investments in GM & Chrysler (that were used to fund their pension and healthcare plans) and we will never get fully repaid on that portion of TARP no matter how much in profits TARP makes off the banks.
Jack S
8:50 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
The headline is true. First, I made no mention of who was responsible for the TARP. While Bush did sign it, it was approved by Congress, which Obama voted for. 50% of the funding was distributed by the Obama administration. That aside, the article is about how the President continues to spin to mislead the public. I know this may not agree with the left's mantra that only the Republicans lie, but let's be honest here folks. Just like the victory lap for 7.8% unemployment, the dismantling of Al-Qaeda...

9:45 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
Obama did not sign the original TARP. He wasn't even in office until almost five months AFTER it was signed by BUSH, And, unless there were some secret special elections, Obama does not vote for Congress. On a good day, he can lobby to get his bills introduced, but what Congress does is what Congress does. TARP also has nothing to do with the UAW pension and healthcare plans except by indirectly keeping GM and Chrysler solvent enough to pay into them - those plans are administered by the employers, not the government. TARP paid into the parent corporations directly in exchange for purchasing stock options and stock, which they have to repurchase back, at a gain for the government. The Bush version of TARP did not have profits mandated in the loan agreement. The ones signed into law by Obama contain a mandate that the Federal loans must be repaid at a minimum of the base Treasury note interest rate or the discounted stock rate and the payments are leveraged at an indexed base rate, so they will never be paid at less than a profit to the government. The original TARP had no such mandate because there was no way to expect the money would be recovered since the notes were so exotic as to have no concrete assets to back them and no real collateral to give them any net worth. Just ask anyone whose 401K was held by AIG or Morgan Stanley.
Ojo Rojo
10:41 am on Tuesday, October 16, 2012
The US Government specified how the UAW workers, pension plan and retiree health plans were to be treated in the GM & Chrysler bankruptcies as a condition for any further TARP money. Obama dictated the results of that bankruptcy specifically to help the UAW, took sides against all the other creditors and backed the UAW. And note that I am specifically saying he helped out the UAW. If you were a member of a different union or a salaried worked and not part of a union at all, you were as disenfranchised as all the other creditors by the administration. So it is completely incorrect to say TARP has nothing to do w/ the UAW benefit plans or Obama had no hand in how the UAW was treated when the GM & Chrysler transactions were negotiated over at the White House and he was using the threat of not providing any TARP money to help either company to force everyone to agree to the UAW's demands for far better treatment than they were legally entitled to in a traditional bankruptcy.
And you know who's pensions got crushed thanks to Obama and the UAW? All the non-union workers got crushed, crushed by Obama and the UAW.

To my conservative friends on this blog - why bother arguing with a liberal? They hate facts that don't support their idealogy or completely ignore facts as if they don't exist.
You will never change their minds because they are so steeped in idealogy they can't see facts. Their arguments are oh, so boring and the way they spin the facts is laughable. But according to FLOTUS, we're the "knuckleheads."
guess they are okay with all the taxpayer money flushed down the drain for all those idiotic green energy companies. All of them are failing and all of them contributors to Obama's campaign.
I suggest we do all that we can to make sure like-minded people like us get out and vote!
Concentrate on talking to the independents and undecideds.

Oh, that's how it works - the only people who love this country are conservatives...
Bull, and the fact is you just proved that you neither understand nor care for this country or the concepts behind it. The Taliban claim to love their country, but just want to control the people in it, and don't care if they destroy them to do it. The founders of this country had the ideal that it would be a place for respect for freedoms, meaning not just respect for your own or the ones you agree with, but the ones you don't believe in as well. Sorry, but it you don't like the idea that you can't control the beliefs of others, tell them how to comport their lives, or tell them they should not express their ideas, I am sure the Taliban would be happy to have you as long as you are male and a true believer and don't ask too many questions...
Funny how the party of the ultra conservatives is such a strong believer in free elections that they are all too willing to make it harder for anyone to vote that does not fit their demographic to the point that the judiciary is having to prevent them from depriving others of the right to vote. Nothng like have the courage of one's convictions while cheating a little on your own side just for insurance sake...

No. Liberals make up their own history to match their inflated belief system. Liberals are just wrong. Simple as that. Have no sense of the Constitution and call it a living document. The ideology of the left is a tangible mental illness. The Liberal has an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration." This seems in tune with the fact that liberals, along with their degenerate offspring, the Occupy Wall Street movement, believe their policies and platforms fall in the majority. The 99% if you will, despite being outnumbered by conservatives at a 2-1. How about Obamacare as another example. The measure was opposed by likely voters by a wide margin, 54-41 percent. Yet it was still rammed down the collective throats of the American people. Why? Because liberals honestly thought that once the plebeians had a chance to see their ideas, they would go along with it. Proof of this materialized when Nancy Pelosi uttered these famous words: "… We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it."

Obummer never even had a plan and still doesn't, he keeps following plans from past Presidents that failed and he thinks because he put them out there now, they are going to work this time. He hasn't got the brains God gave a 2 year old child, except to know how to destroy this country and then throw Isreal under a bus and leave them out there hanging by themselves. I Netenyahu's own words, " Isreal will not be here in ten years" because he knows obummer along with Iran will see it destroyed, and obummer take over as a dictator of what used to be America.

This country is already doomed by the cultivation of hate masked as religion, prejudice masked as free speech, and a culture of "any means to an end", be it selling guns or lead-tainted toys or poisonous foodstuffs. You can go on and on, like the rich guy who has never actually labored one day of his life about the wastrels who live on government handouts, without ever having a flicker of direct knowledge about the subjects you claim to know. The liberals who fought to get clean drinking water and an end to child labor and a 40 hour working week are beneath your contempt, but that never stops the conservative from going home from the office, turning on the tap, and buying the kids another electronic toy from Walmart made in China. Only when your own ox is gored and you lose your job and understand what it is to be counting pennies to buy a package of ramen noodles may you give a rat's butt about anyone else. You are just another dumb feeder, happy to take the pablum handed to you, your feet on the coffee table with the Bible you neither read nor understand. No one will grow poor underestimating the depth of self-importance in a large part of the public. They'd rather live in apathy and get that black man out of the white house, by any and all means possible, rather than question why so many have so little, and they have even less and less than their parents had. Next time you take a deep drink from that tap, think about those evil liberals that fought to get you the water.

Humpback Whales in Antarctica: What Are the Whales Doing?Published by: Ari Friedlaender - Feb 7, 2013Humpback whales (Megaptera novaengliae) are the most abundant baleen whale in the nearshore waters around the Antarctic Peninsula. They, along with millions of penguins, seals, seabirds, and other whales, feed primarily on Antarctic krill (Euphausia superba) during summer months. |

Reflections on the Successful Search for the Giant SquidPublished by: Clyde Roper - Jan 22, 2013I have been at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History since 1966, studying and reporting on all kinds of octopuses and squids. But I've always had a particular fascination with the mysterious and elusive giant squid. My interest in giant squid began in graduate school when my professor showed me two small, incomplete, stinky specimens—some of the few specimens in the world at that time. |

Underwater WWII Wrecks – Pollution or Cultural Heritage?Published by: Mark J. Spalding - Jan 15, 20132012 marked the 70th anniversary of a series of World War II battles in the Pacific Ocean and on its islands, which are collectively known as the "Pacific theatre." While the battles are long over, thousands of wrecked boats and planes from many nations still rest on the seafloor. These wreck sites represent a twin legacy: one a memorial gravesite and historical marker, and the other a potential source of pollution from the wrecks into the sea. |
Acrobatic Blue Whales Do the Twist While FeedingPublished by: Ari Friedlaender - Jan 8, 2013I have a vivid childhood memory of sitting under the Blue Whale model hanging in the Natural History Museum in London, eating an ice cream and wondering "How in the world did that whale get so big?" These days we are closer to knowing the answer. Over the past several years, a group of researchers have been studying how blue whales eat to better understand how such a big animal can survive on such small food. |

One Fish, Two Fish: Estimating Undiscovered SpeciesPublished by: Andy Solow - Dec 20, 2012My father once told me that the world is divided into two kinds of people: those who believe that the world is divided into two kinds of people and those who don't. Wherever you come down on this particular issue, it's clear that there is a common—if not always healthy—human impulse to classify objects into groups. In biology, this falls to taxonomists, whose job it is to classify living (and once-living) organisms into species, species into genera, genera into families, and so on. |

Marine Parasites: Crazy…and Really Cool!Published by: Katrina Lohan - Dec 5, 2012Marine parasites may be small in size, but they can be present in very high numbers and put together can weigh even more than all the top predators in an estuary or bay ecosystem! They play an important role in keeping their host population from growing out of control—allowing them to exert power over food webs and ecosystem function. High parasite diversity is even an indicator of a healthy ecosystem. |

The ground just swallowed him up.
A Florida man fell into a sinkhole that opened suddenly Thursday night beneath the bedroom of his suburban Tampa home, calling out to his brother for help as he fell, the brother said Friday.
"I ran toward my brother's bedroom because I heard my brother scream," Jeremy Bush told CNN's "AC360."
"Everything was gone. My brother's bed, my brother's dresser, my brother's TV. My brother was gone."
Bush frantically tried to rescue his brother, Jeff Bush, by standing in the hole and digging at the rubble with a shovel until police arrived and pulled him out, saying the floor was still collapsing.
"I couldn't get him out. I tried so hard. I tried everything I could," he said through tears. "I could swear I heard him calling out."
Jeremy Bush and four other people, including a 2-year-old child, escaped from the blue, one-story 1970s-era home in Seffner, a Tampa suburb.
What began with hopes of rescue turned into a body recovery operation after monitoring equipment failed to detect any signs that Jeff Bush survived the fall into the hole, according the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.
Rescuers still hadn't gone into the hole -- it's too dangerous, Fire Chief Ron Rogers told reporters. Authorities say they worry the hole is still spreading and the house could collapse at any time.
"Until we know where it's safe to bring the equipment, we really are just handicapped and paralyzed, and can't really do a whole lot more than sit and wait. It's a tough situation. It's even tougher for the family," Rogers said.

Developing country
A developing country, also called a less-developed country (LDC),[1] is a nation with a low living standard, underdeveloped industrial base, and low Human Development Index (HDI) relative to other countries.[2][3] There is no universal, agreed-upon criteria for what makes a country developing versus developed and which countries fit these two categories, although there are general reference points such as the size of a nation's GDP compared to other nations.
Countries with more advanced economies than other developing nations but that have not yet demonstrated signs of a developed country, are often categorized under the term newly industrialized countries.[4][5][6][7]

Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations, defined a developed country as follows. "A developed country is one that allows all its citizens to enjoy a free and healthy life in a safe environment."[8] But according to the United Nations Statistics Division,
- There is no established convention for the designation of "developed" and "developing" countries or areas in the United Nations system.[3]
And it notes that
- The designations "developed" and "developing" are intended for statistical convenience and do not necessarily express a judgment about the stage reached by a particular country or area in the development process.[9]
The UN also notes
- In common practice, Japan in Asia, Canada and the United States in northern America, Australia and New Zealand in Oceania, and Europe, are considered "developed" regions or areas. In international trade statistics, the Southern African Customs Union is also treated as a developed region and Israel as a developed country; countries emerging from the former Yugoslavia are treated as developing countries; and countries of eastern Europe and of the Commonwealth of Independent States (code 172) in Europe are not included under either developed or developing regions.[3]
On the other hand, according to the classification from International Monetary Fund (IMF) before April 2004, all countries of Eastern Europe (including Central European countries that still belongs to the "Eastern Europe Group" in the UN institutions) as well as the former Soviet Union (USSR) countries in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan) and Mongolia, were not included under either developed or developing regions, but rather were referred to as "countries in transition"; however they are now widely regarded (in the international reports) as "developing countries".
The IMF uses a flexible classification system that considers "(1) per capita income level, (2) export diversification—so oil exporters that have high per capita GDP would not make the advanced classification because around 70% of its exports are oil, and (3) degree of integration into the global financial system."[10]
The World Bank classifies countries into four income groups. These are set each year on July 1. Economies were divided according to 2011 GNI per capita using the following ranges of income:[11]
- Low income countries had GNI per capita of US$1,026 or less.
- Lower middle income countries had GNI per capita between US$1,026 and US$4,036.
- Upper middle income countries had GNI per capita between US$4,036 and US$12,476.
- High income countries had GNI above US$12,476.
The World Bank classifies all low- and middle-income countries as developing but notes, "The use of the term is convenient; it is not intended to imply that all economies in the group are experiencing similar development or that other economies have reached a preferred or final stage of development. Classification by income does not necessarily reflect development status."[11]
Measure and concept of development[edit]
The development of a country is measured with statistical indexes such as income per capita (per person) (gross domestic product), life expectancy, the rate of literacy, et cetera. The UN has developed the Human Development Index (HDI), a compound indicator of the above statistics, to gauge the level of human development for countries where data is available.
Developing countries are, in general, countries that have not achieved a significant degree of industrialization relative to their populations, and have, in most cases, a medium to low standard of living. There is a strong correlation between low income and high population growth.
The terms utilized when discussing developing countries refer to the intent and to the constructs of those who utilize these terms. Other terms sometimes used are less developed countries (LDCs), least economically developed countries (LEDCs), "underdeveloped nations" or Third World nations, and "non-industrialized nations". Conversely, developed countries, most economically developed countries (MEDCs), First World nations and "industrialized nations" are the opposite end of the spectrum.
To moderate the euphemistic aspect of the word developing, international organizations have started to use the term less economically developed country (LEDCs) for the poorest nations—which can, in no sense, be regarded as developing. That is, LEDCs are the poorest subset of LDCs. This may moderate against a belief that the standard of living across the entire developing world is the same.
The concept of the developing nation is found, under one term or another, in numerous theoretical systems having diverse orientations — for example, theories of decolonization, liberation theology, Marxism, anti-imperialism, and political economy. Another important indicator is the sectoral changes that have occurred since the stage of development of the country. On an average, countries with a 50% contribution from the Secondary sector of Manufacturing have grown substantially. Similarly countries with a tertiary Sector stronghold also see greater rate of Economic Development.
The "BRIC" countries, Brazil, Russia, India, and China are difficult to categorize because of their rapid economic development in recent years. However, they are still not developed countries.
Criticism of the term 'developing country'[edit]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (March 2013) |
There is criticism of the use of the term 'developing country'. The term implies inferiority of a 'developing country' or 'undeveloped country' compared to a developed country, which many countries dislike.
It assumes a desire to 'develop' along the traditional 'Western' model of economic development, which a few countries, such as Cuba and Bhutan, choose not to follow.[12]
The term 'developing' implies mobility and does not acknowledge that development may be in decline or static in some countries, particularly in southern African states worst affected by HIV/AIDS. In such cases, the term developing country may be considered a euphemism. The term implies homogeneity between such countries, which vary widely. The term also implies homogeneity within such countries when wealth (and health) of the most and least affluent groups varies widely. Similarly, the term 'developed country' incorrectly implies a lack of continuing economic development/growth in more-developed countries.
In general, development entails a modern infrastructure (both physical and institutional), and a move away from low value added sectors such as agriculture and natural resource extraction. Developed countries, in comparison, usually have economic systems based on continuous, self-sustaining economic growth in the tertiary sector of the economy and quaternary sector of the economy and high material standards of living. However, there are notable exceptions, as some countries considered developed have a significant component of primary industries in their national economies, e.g., Norway, Canada, Australia. The USA and Western Europe have a very important agricultural sector, and are major players in international agricultural markets. Also, natural resource extraction can be a very profitable industry (high value added), e.g., oil extraction.
An alternative measurement of that has been suggested is that of Gross national happiness. Measuring the actual satisfaction of people as opposed to how money orientated a country is.

Typology and names of countries[edit]
Countries are often loosely placed into four categories of development. Each category includes the countries listed in their respective article. The term "developing nation" is not a label to assign a specific, similar type of problem.
- Newly industrialized countries (NICs) are nations with economies more advanced and developed than those in the developing world, but not yet with the full signs of a developed country.[4][5][6][7] NIC is a category between developed and developing countries. It includes Brazil, China, India, Indonesia,[23] Malaysia, Mexico, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand and Turkey.
- The Advanced Emerging Markets are:[24] Brazil, Hungary, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, Taiwan and Turkey.
- Countries with long-term civil war or large-scale breakdown of rule of law ("failed states") (e.g. Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan, Somalia) or non-development-oriented dictatorship (North Korea, Myanmar and Zimbabwe).[citation needed]
- Some developing countries such as Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Brunei, Equatorial Guinea, Trinidad and Tobago and the Arab states of the Persian Gulf have been classified as "Developed countries" by the World Bank.

Home defaced with racist graffiti
By Jared Watson, firstname.lastname@example.com
An abandoned home on North Bonham Drive was vandalized with racist and white supremacist graffiti early Tuesday morning.
According to Sgt. John Felty of the Allen Police Department, an unidentified suspect or suspects defaced the white outer walls of the home, which has been abandoned for several years, with red spray paint. The graffiti included swastikas, the words "white power" and "SS," in addition to racial epithets.
Felty said the incident is still under investigation, but there is currently no evidence that the graffiti was intended for any specific person or persons.
The Allen Community Services Department was notified by the police and cleaned the graffiti off the house Wednesday morning.
Felty also said anyone with information about the vandalism can contact the Allen Police Department. Crime tips can be submitted by phone at 972-727-8477 or by text at 847411 with the keyword ALLENPD.

A man hurrying to catch the light at a corner in muggy downtown Tampa carries a book with a rainbow of color on its cover.
Its title stands out, especially here, where the Republican National Convention has officially accepted a platform that a New York Times editorial called "more aggressive in its opposition to women's reproductive rights and to gay rights than any in memory."
The book is "A Fundamental Freedom: Why Republicans, Conservatives, and Libertarians Should Support Gay Rights."
Ted McCormac is a precinct committee person for the GOP in Bradenton, Florida, and the father of a gay son. He picked up the book at a brunch co-hosted by the Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry and the Log Cabin Republicans -- two of a small number of visible LGBT-supportive Republican groups at this year's convention.
Individual members of the Log Cabin Republicans have attended previous conventions, but this year marks a first for the group: It was invited by the Republican National Convention committee to participate in the convention itself. In addition, there are many high-profile, gay-themed events this year, including the brunch McCormac attended. "I've never been to an event of theirs, but people clearly went out of their way to be nice to me," McCormac said, with a catch in his voice. "It means so much since I'm kind of new at this."
In fact, Sarah Longwell, a Log Cabin board member and one of the speakers at the brunch, began her speech by talking about McCormac. She said she teared up when she met McCormac there and he told her how proud he and his wife are of their son, Tony.
Tony McCormac is getting married to Jeff Cook, who was also there working on behalf of American Unity, a political action committee that supports Republican candidates who are gay friendly. Cook is so involved in Republican politics that they've scheduled their ceremony In New York after the November election.
"That's what this is all about -- events where we can talk to Republicans about why marriage matters for our community, conservative to conservative," Longwell said.
Longwell's own engagement is so new she still stumbles a little when she describes Karen Bencala as her "fiancee." But her message about why conservatives should back same-sex marriage comes through loud and clear. She shared it Wednesday with all the Republicans gathered for the convention in the form of a full-page ad in the Tampa Tribune, paid for by the Log Cabin and Young Conservatives for the Freedom to Marry.
The ad shows several photos of same-sex couples smiling under a quote from Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, a Christian right think tank that is far from gay friendly. In his argument that successfully added anti-same sex marriage language to the party's platform, Perkins said, "The institution of marriage is the foundation of civil society. Its success as an institution will determine our success as a nation."

This subject seems to be a popular one for most boards, and I have just pulled the trigger on one of these babies, so I'm keen to know what is recommended, and what the guys on the forum have tried. What's worked and what hasn't?
Personally, I'll need a larger fin at 88kg and 6'2", and will go for FCS as my other boards are all FCS already. But lets throw in all the options.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Virginia did not lead for the final 38:56 of regulation, but the Cavaliers found a way to pull out a 61-58 overtime win over Maryland on Sunday night.
Virginia (21-10, 11-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) overcame a 17-point first half deficit to win its 17th consecutive home game. The Cavaliers also snapped a two game losing streak and picked up a much-needed win for its NCAA Tournament hopes.
Maryland (20-11, 8-10 ACC) lost for the fifth time in its past eight games.
Mike Tobey tipped in an Akil Mitchell miss to put Virginia ahead 60-58 with 1:47 to go in overtime. The teams traded misses before Maryland called timeout with 41.7 seconds left and possession of the ball.
Virginia's Joe Harris created a turnover, but Cavaliers point guard Jontel Evans missed a layup with 29 seconds left to give Maryland another shot.
However, Dez Wells lost the ball out of bounds, giving Virginia possession with 8.2 seconds left. Mitchell made one of two free throws, and Wells' 3-point attempt at the buzzer rimmed out.
Mitchell had 17 points and 10 rebounds to lead Virginia. Harris added 15 points, and Tobey came off the bench to score 13 points and grab six rebounds.
Nick Faust led Maryland with 15 points, but he scored only two points in the second half. Wells had 12 points and 12 rebounds, and Alex Len finished with 10 points.
In regulation, Wells hit a runner with 23.8 seconds left to put Maryland ahead 54-52. Virginia then tried to run a play but never got anything going, forcing Cavaliers coach Tony Bennett to call a timeout with just under seven seconds to go.
Evans then found Tobey near the basket, and Tobey converted a layup with 5.4 seconds to go to tie the game.

"an expert on furnaces"
I am a retired m/h dealer. I am 83 yrs old. I was a service point for Coleman, Intertherm and Lear Segular (home) furnaces. I now rent as apts 25 units. Most have new or late model Coleman units which are very unreliable. Example, a tenant went to the hospital for 3 days, the temp. outside was 0. She set her thermostat at 50. When we checked it 3 days later, it was out and everything was frozen solid. Their circuit board is a joke. We have replaced 90% of them more than once. In my professional opinion, Coleman has went downhill and unreliable. Damage done that no warranty can replace.
Years owned: 18
Satisfaction Rating:
"Totally Impressed with Coleman"
We have a factory install a Coleman furnace in our 1989 1900 sq ft. Doublewide. We have owned the home since 1992. We have had to do absolutely nothing to the furnace except change filters! We have a wood stove also and when you light it, the furnace has to be off as to not create a negative draft. I have to hold my hand over the heat register to see if it is on because you can't hear if it is running or not. Very quiet!

Satisfaction Rating:
"Coleman T.H.E. Heat Pump"
This Unit was installed new when my home was built. It is coupled with a Coleman air handler with an electric aux heat pack. This unit is still working fine and quiet after 24 years and no repair calls with the exception the defrost circuit board has just gone bad. Rather than invest repair money into this trusty old equipment, I have decided to upgrade to a high efficiency Coleman system. This decision was made solely to take advantage of the current tax and other incentives offered at this point in time. Great heat pump!

"Coleman Furnace"
These furnaces are nothing but a headache and a drain on the pocket book. For the past nine years the furnace has had something go wrong every year if not twice per year. I'm tired of being cold and have had it, I'm replacing it with a Lennox.

I wanted to move my furnace under the stairs and only coleman had the 33 inch furnace that would fit under the stairs. It has been installed for about a year and a half now and my gas bill has been cut in half.

I just replace my furnace with the Coleman 98% furnace, it is almost half the size of my old furnace, but it is very quiet and my house feels warm now.

"Tax Credit"
I had to replace my gas furnace last week, I compared 6 differant brands of furnaces and only coleman had every 90% gas furnace that was 95%. Most had only a couple and some had none. Now that it is installed I am very happy with it. It is very quiet.

I have a Coleman heat pump,and in 12 years I have had no problems. It has always ran great.

Just like Norman Rockewell's famous "Triple Self-Portrait". Awesome.
celine.calista.leong on Mar 20, 2013 at 10:37:43
Love this one! I like the meaning where the heart is sad about how it looks and paints a self-portrait to make it heart-shaped (ideal). It gets deeper when it reflects the wearer's emotions of seeming happy on the surface but with is actually bottled-up with sadness. brilliant

6 Success Stories: Social Media Marketing for Local Business
I love when people tell me social media isn't for local small businesses… Sometimes I debate with them. Other times I smile and nod, knowing it's a futile argument. Most often I point them to examples like the ones I'm sharing with you today: 6 real-life small businesses profiting from social media. Here's an excerpt [...] Continue reading →

Thread: Kenya pt 6
Kenya pt 6
August 19th Thursday
Another quiet day, the boys play for a while in the kids club. One of the animation team shows Lisa and I 2 more ways to play Ajua, during the lesson we again talk about life out side the walls. We talk about the police checks we have seen. 'Ah' he says ' there are many checks by the police, but not to get the drugs, they hope they find them, because then the men will give them a bribe. Most kids want to be a police man, that way you get very rich.'
Boys have made pizza, so they will be back later to eat these for lunch. They play on the water slide, then we play table tennis of sorts, not much actual use of the table if I'm honest, lots of looking for balls in ponds.
Thomas declares this his best holiday ever, even including Disney ! It's an amazing place he said, the animals are incredible. So it's not about and endless supply of fanta so that's nice.
I go bird spotting in the garden in the evening and see another 3 that I've never seen before. Not great pics though.
We have dinner and on the walk home Thomas gets the worlds smallest lizard drop onto his shoulder..
August 20-22 nd
Not much to report in all honesty, spent a lot of time relaxing by the pool, too much time maybe, eating and relaxing and then eating some more. Found a wifi hot spot and showed the boys an episode of bod and an episode of finger bobs on YouTube and they both collapsed in fits of giggles. Tried to explain what life was like pre computer and they were totally uncomprehending. Went to sleep a couple of times with the evening 'entertainment' competing with the honking of the frogs. Found another 4 species of birds in the garden of the hotel, one being a beautiful heron and another a huge flock of ibis !! read our guide again and kenya is the second best place in the world to spot birds which I utterly believe. ( the first is the democratic republic of the Congo which isn't really touristy. )
Booked to get up early in the morning to snorkel off the reef and see the starfish and fish,then I woke up with conjunctivitis which put a kibosh on the whole thing as I can't see without my glasses. Luckily I had planned and bought some eye stuff but it would take too long to heal to let us go.
The animation crew tried to recruit the children into the kids club, that prided itself on taking your kids an 7 am and watering and feeding them all day, piling them with entertainment and returning them to you after you evening meal at the end of the day. 'why , I asked . Would I want to do that? The whole point is, I don't see my kids all year due to work, why would I want to spent the only 2 weeks they are in my company away from them? They looked at us utterly bemused.... , on Friday another plane load of British arrived and the mood in the hotel changed, without wishing to sound snobbish there were an awful lot of football shirts around the pool and the entertainment changed to organised drinking games, not great and a sad end to the day.
We spent the whole of the next day by the sports pool reading and watching the kids swim, in the afternoon they make friends with a brother and sister of approximately the same age in the pool and pay for a couple of hours, the mum comes up and takes a picture and we get talking, her husband hears and pulls his chair up , they have just arrived and are a little anxious about the safari. They too have been moved, utterly, by the trip to the hotel. He is also a doc, and we have a lot in common, and for the first time in days we don't feel like killjoys and weirdos for feeling like we do. They echo a lot of the sentiments I have expressed above and they have only been here since yesterday morning.
Show them picture of the view from our lodge window and he nearly faints.
Our sort of people.
He also has an iPhone and and iMac and an iPad . Lol. Geeks stick together.
During the evening meal we told the kids all the jobs we'd had when we were growing up, told them a lot about our childhoods and stuff like that. The way kids grow up , I am realising there is very little time to get this information across.
Asked the chap who works at the shop if he could get us Ajua and he has got us a portable board , boys are ecstatic we can bring the game home.
Only one full day left. Will be glad to get home in some ways, want to look at the almost 2000 photos and sift out some of the better ones, have a decent shower and a good nights sleep in s warm duvet bed, but in a very very real way, I don't want to leave Africa. I want to leave this hotel now, don't get me wrong. It has now, thanks to the shift towards nearly all English, taken on an almost bizarrely Butlins like atmosphere at times, but the staff are just the best I have ever met. CMs at Disney world could learn from them and I say that with the deepest sincerity.
I haven't left this continent yet, and already miss it, is that weird?, maybe. It gets under your skin.
Anyway, it's been a long day
Honk honk honk go the frogs
In the distance the karaoke is starting up.
Good grief
August 23rd last day
A rather sad day really , didn't do much at all. Boys had a marathon swim from 10.30 until 5.30 and spent the whole day playing with their new friends who were very sad to see them go by the end of the day. We spent most of the afternoon chatting to their parents. Turns out our kids are pretty much a mirror of theirs which is always comforting. At one point one of the ground staff effortlessly climbs to the top of one of the huge palms and cuts down the coconuts slices the tops off and hands them around for people to drink the water.
We swapped emails and promised to share safari photos.
After the evening meal they took the time to come over and say goodbye, which was both lovely and a bit sad.
Best holiday ever the boys conclude again.
What even including Disney ?
Yes, even including Disney!
So there you have it, from the mouths of babes.
And all in all I have to agree with them. This place, this country and it's people, it's landscape and it's flora and fauna are all utterly breathtaking.
If you ever get the chance to go in life, do it, and have no regrets.
Never has a holiday affected me so deeply as this one has, in all sorts of ways.
Will I come back?
Just try and stop me
August 24th
Travelling home all day, awoke at 2 am British time 4 am Kenyan time. Got into the taxi,q which again was a camper van. Nice chap for 5 am, lots of people up and about in the city, he tells us the similar vans to ours with yellow stripes down the side are the public transport. They call them Mututu. He laughs and says, hakuna matata means no problems, hakuna mututu means no public transport . Booked in to the flight went through a bazillion security and visa checks , plus the most intimate examination I have ever had outside of marriage . The airport only had 2 planes parked at it and there were no departure boards, but there were about 20 gift shops.
Usual long haul flight really, bizarre times for meals, board at 9 am local and 7 am uk time and they wanted us to have luck by 10/8 which makes no sense and was very unsettling on the old tum.
Anyway I had planned in advance of us even going in the holiday as I had a hunch which way the flint would depart, and sure enough after. 10 minutes in the air, Thomas has an incredible view of kilimanjaro outside his window, it was dark on the flight in of course , awesome poking out through the to of the clouds at dawn. After we pass over most of Sudan he spies the Nile and the sahara desert from the air is an incredible sight, as the horizon is hazy the colurs go from deep orange to deep purple above you in a seamless rainbow, it is unimaginably huge and we pen hours flying over it, through Libya to the coast.
Back to the hurly burly all too soon, rather annoyed that the parking has left a deep red scratch on lisas bonnet that they are denying doing, even though they have added it to the damage sheet after 'we left, we have a timed and dated digital photo' he says
Right says I because it's absolutely impossible to change the time and date on a digital camera!!!!
Grrr, a bitter taste at the end of the holiday and typically British
Utterly exhausted we get home, have a cup of tea and get ready for bed.

Re: Kenya pt 6
thanks chaps I knew you'd all understand.
Re: Kenya pt 6
Read your reports before today, but didn't quite know what to say. Still don't really, but that's in a good way I've done a lot of reflecting on when I went, and how I felt, and am still thinking.
Anyway, that you so much for sharing all that special stuff from your trip, and even more for sharing your feelings about it all
Oh, and you are a darn good writer
