In order to give our customers more of what they want, TheFlyingPig.Com is proud to announce a Hawaii-based "personal import" (PI) system to deliver goods from Costco and other US retailers. Personal imports are subject to less stringent import restrictions than commercial imports, allowing our customers to order many of their favorite groceries, personal care items and sundries that would otherwise be impossible to get in Japan.
Generally, PI items are dispatched from Hawaii every Tuesday and Friday, with delivery about 5-6 days later. (Note that there are occasional dispatch holidays --- please confirm with us iif delivery by a certain date is desired.) These items are handled by a locally organized entity, TFP International LLC.
PI shipping is flat rate, at 1880 yen per order. (The more items in the order, the lower the unit cost of shipping.)
Items in PI orders are subject to "reasonable quantity" determination by Japan Customs, and the rule of thumb for food is no more than 10-kg per item. Other restrictions may apply to personal care items, supplements, etc.
Personal import items are identified by the small "PI" icon displayed next to the product name. Happy shopping!

Miserable Little Pricks
8 AprSlim and I made a trip to visit his allergist last week.
It was a highly successful appointment. We gained valuable new information we're sure will help us better manage his allergies.
And manage is what you do with allergies like Slim's.
But gaining that information came with a price. Not in the form of medical expenses; the cost of a hotel room; the corn dog and Kraft macaroni and cheese lovingly prepared by the culinary artisans at Applebee's (yes, Kraft macaroni and cheese); the elusive Skylander's Giants character Chop Chop Slim scored at the Toys "R" Us conveniently located directly across the parking lot from Applebee's; or the sweet lenticular 3D Star Wars playing cards we picked up at Barnes and Noble to support the 9-year-old's burgeoning cribbage habit.
No, the real price for that information came at the expense of Slim's back — and his physical comfort — in the form of a prick test.
Actually, two prick tests (which are actually more of scratch tests). A few of the allergens reacted so strongly on the initial panel that the administering nurse worried the results may have been compromised, so we left for a few hours and returned to have a second panel conducted excluding those allergens that were definite positives from the initial test. Which was followed up with a blood draw because they were still having trouble sorting out what was actually causing positives and what wasn't.
And Slim's reaction to all of this?
Nothing. It's all old hat for this allergy kid.
He played Plants vs. Zombies on the iPad while the thirtysome scratches were administered (twice) and during the accompanying 15-minute wait for the allergens to do their thing.
He joked with the nurse that if he ever met this guy Pistachio (#29), he was going to rip his arms off and beat him silly with them. We all had a good laugh at that.
A couple of times he said his back was itchy, but that was the extent of his complaints. And that's consistent with how Slim's handled his condition all along.
His allergy journey began at age two (technically, I suppose, it actually started a few years prior when a different sort of prick test came back positive, if you know what I mean) after he ingested a fraction of an Oreo with peanut butter filling. Things immediately went awry.
Let me tell ya, if you're looking to get people hopping in an ER, walk in holding a wheezing, hive-covered toddler with his eyes swollen shut and say, "We think he might have a peanut allergy." Your wait time becomes exactly zero minutes.
Thankfully, Slim's never had another scare like that.
He had his first prick test at age five — for environmental allergens — and the results suggested he's basically allergic to Earth. His doctor said she'd seen tests with more severe reactions, but never one with as many.
Allergies affect Slim's health to some degree every second of every day. Feeling "good" is a relative term for him, and it entails a strict, inflexible regiment of medication, diet, and a whole lot of lotion (he's got severe eczema to boot).
But he doesn't complain. It's just what life is for him.
I realize many parents have children who face challenges far more severe than Slim's, but he's our kid, so I'd rather he didn't have to deal with any of it. But he does, and the way he does — with such courage and strength – is both humbling and inspirational to me.
As he lay on the examining bed — for the second time — distractedly planting his assorted flora in an effort to eradicate the slowly-marauding legion of undeads while waiting for the legion of allergens on his back to wage its own attack, I leaned down and whispered, "You're a brave kid."
Then I corrected myself. "No, scratch that: you're a brave person."
"Thanks, Dad."
I don't think he caught the pun, but that's okay.
He was too busy ignoring those miserable little pricks.
In related news, I'm trying to convince Slim he may be able to occasionally play this whole allergy thing in his favor by claiming he's allergic to certain things even if he isn't. For example:
- Foods he just doesn't want to eat ("I'd love some of that lime Jello mold with shredded carrots and cottage cheese, but I'm allergic.")
- Clothes he doesn't want to wear (An argyle allergy is very, very rare, but it could happen.)
- Shows his younger siblings want to watch (The entire world should be allergic to Max and Ruby.)
Math homework ("Sorry, Mr. Teacher. I couldn't complete that worksheet. I'm severely allergic to long division.")
Girls (He'll outgrow this one eventually.)
Heck, I'd claim allergies every now and then if I could get away with it. Some things I wish I was allergic to:
Vegetables in general (Bleh. I only eat them because I feel obligated as a semi-adult.)
- Reality television (Celebrity diving? Really?)
- Going to Walmart (This one really flares up when I've got the kids with me.)
- Anything claiming "SOME ASSEMBLY REQUIRED" (Lying bastards.)
- Arguing children (If only my ears would swell shut.)
Anything you are (or wish you were) allergic to?
Don't Taunt the Battery Pack
22 MarI finally got around to ordering a new battery for our laptop.
The old one had been dead for about a year-and-a-half, which is a pretty standard timeframe for me to get around to doing something (SEE ALSO: tax preparation, toenail clipping, vasectomy scheduling).
It's like I always say: "There's no I in team, but there's at least one – and possibly even two – in procrastination, depending on one's spelling ability."
Ditto for apathetic. And idiot.
Yeehaw! It's Time to Run the Mile!
26 FebSlim, Perpetual Motion, and Hellcat all have the same PE teacher, and it just so happens this individual is one of my closest friends.
When Kick Ass Wife and I moved here and took our first teaching jobs almost 15 years ago, he and I coached basketball together. A hundred or so hours of bus trips later, we knew each other pretty well, and that friendship has remained til this day.
He's a salt-of-the-earth type person, someone you feel fortunate to have crossed paths with in life.
And he has a great sense of humor.
So it was that I composed this letter and sent it with Slim (sealed in an enveloped) to deliver to his PE teacher the day of the mile run:
In the end, Slim — oblivious to the nature of the letter he had delivered – ran the mile, which was fine with him because he's one of those sick individuals like his marathoning mother who actually enjoys running.
My friend – who penned a witty rebuttal which brought me to tears – got a chuckle as he put the poor little bastards through their paces.
And Kick Ass Wife — who teaches at the same school the kids attend and works with a group of really terrific people – got a cowboy hat, compliments of a colleague who caught wind of Slim's letter of excusal.
Hopefully she'll try it out when the mile run comes around again this spring.
Yeehaw, indeed.
Icing the Snowballs
21 FebTax Credit #4 and I spent the afternoon playing in the snow yesterday.
We've received a fair amount of white stuff over the last couple weeks, which is awesome. It provides opportunities for the types of memorable, enriching activities I want our children to experience.
Like redneck sledding.
And snowball fights.
For me, it's hard to imagine a childhood void of the thrill of scooping up a handful of fresh, wet snow, packing it as tightly as you possibly can, and drilling a fellow human being directly in the face from a painfully-close range.
However, with a little guy like Tax Credit #4, snowballs and snowball fights have a little different feel to them.
Here are some helpful guidelines for snowballs and toddlers.
1. You'll need to make all the snowballs for the child because mittened toddler hands are as useless at tits on a crow.
I don't really understand what that means, but Kick Ass Wife's grandmother says it all the time and she's awesome. So I love it.
Anyway, each time #4 attempted to fashion a snowball with his club-like mitts, he became increasingly agitated.
"THIS SNOW'S BROKED!" he finally yelled.
So I corrected his grammar and piled up a pyramid of power-packed projectiles he could use for his personal arsenal.
Which he decided to snack on.
2. Beyond making snowballs, your only other contribution is being a target.
I know it seems snowball "fight" would suggest two opposing sides with the expectation that both are trying to hit the other, but that's not how it works.
No matter how light and playfully I toss snow at Tax Credit #4, he acts as though he's been struck down with a bowling-ball sized ice bomb anytime snow so much as grazes him.
ME: "Because we're having a snowball fight?"
And if even a single crystal of snow accidentally comes in contact with an exposed surface — say his neckline just above the collar of the coat — it's meltdown city, baby. Game over.
No, if you know what's good for you, this melee will involve you standing stock-still while the toddler pelts you — ironically – with the snowballs you made.
And remember, a toddler is about waist-high to the average adult, meaning the most-likely place of impact will be your groin.
TC#4: "Gotcha!"
ME: **COUGH** "You sure did!" **COUGH**
Believe me, even while bundled up in a snow suit to the point of almost zero dexterity, a 3-year-old can throw with a surprising amount of velocity, so don't pack the snowballs you're making for your child to throw at you too tightly.
3. Suggest you and the toddler team up to throw snowballs at the groin of a third-party target, like a tree.
After several direct shots below the belt, I decided it was time to come up with some type of game that didn't involve so much abuse.
"Hey, I've got an idea," I said, spitting up blood, "Let's pretend that tree is Shredder and we're Ninja Turtles!"
"Oh, yeah!" Tax Credit #4 is all about the Turtles, so luckily for me he was all-in.
At this point, he'd exhausted his first cache of snowballs — all of them having been either eaten or hurled at my crotch — so I sat down to make more ammo.
And ice down my snowballs.
I tell ya, if toddlers would just hit you in the face like they're supposed to, snowball fights would be a lot funner.
A Trunkated Victory
18 FebHellcat draws a lot like she sings: what may be lacking in terms of innate artistic ability is more than compensated for with sheer output.
And a Hello Kitty microphone and multiple wardrobe changes and raw primal aggression in the case of singing.
So last night when she announced she was going to color a picture for me, it was no surprise she reappeared minutes later with five. And — contrary to Kick Ass Wife's baseless assertions that Hellcat is a daddy's girl — she included her mother as a recipient on all but one of them, as well.
After all, Hellcat is nothing if not thoughtful.
As we thanked our precocious artist and made our best-educated guesses at the species of those animals not conveniently labeled (if you're curious, that is a lion, not a "scared wiener dog" as Perpetual Motion chimed in), I decided it was a perfect opportunity for a little innuendo, as though there are non-perfect times.
"Your mom is probably most impressed by this one," I explained, pointing, "because she can't help but think of your dad any time she sees an elephant."
"Why?" asked Hellcat.
"Because elephants have really… long… memories, just like me."
After sighing and eye rolling in the manner our kids have become accustomed to, Kick Ass Wife said, "Actually, the reason I think of your dad when I see elephants is because the size of their brains is much smaller than the size of their bodies would suggest."
"Ohhhhhhh, Dad!" exclaimed Slim in that manner common to 8-year-old's-who-aren't-minding-their-own-business-just-before-their-faced-fathers-send-them-to-their-rooms.
Luckily, elephants have thick skin, too.
Hi! My Name is Chafe, and I'm Going to Start Blogging Here
14 FebHave you ever gotten out of the habit of doing something for so long you're not really sure how to get started again?
If so, you understand how it's been for me and showering as of late.
Oh, and blogging.
To be fair, I've been tied up with some other responsibilities – race strategist for Usain Bolt at the London Olympics ("Run really fast"), guest choreographer for Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime performance ("You know, I don't think you can ever go wrong with the chicken dance") — but, for the most part, I just haven't really felt like writing.
However, I was reading through some old posts recently – like this one, this one, and this one — and they reminded me I used to find quite a bit of humor in the insanity of our day-t0-day life.
So it's time to get back in the proverbial saddle and chafe some areas that haven't been chafed for a while.
And on that note, I'm going to shower.

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution"
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: Science and the Bible: Intelligent Design
In this series, Ted Davis identifies the history, core tenets and assumptions about the Intelligent Design view.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
For the Love of the World: John Stott and His Passion for Creation
Some criticized John for his theistic evolutionary position and even his appreciation for Darwin. But Stott saw no contradiction between his own commitment to the authority of Scripture and his openness to God's use of evolution in His creative process.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Caution! Design Arguments Ahead
Design arguments have been around forever and expressed in various ways. Most of them fall into what we call natural theology, which is the process of inferring something about the existence and nature of God by the inspection of nature.
Understanding Evolution: The Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity, Part 1
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.
Series: Scripture and the Authority of God
N.T. Wright explores the context and manner in which Scripture is authoritative. He does so by questioning the meaning of an authoritative book as well as the application of such authority. Wright encourages us to flee from the controlling "list" mentalities that belittle the richness of God's Word, and rather to understand it as a narrative inspired by God and recorded by ancient persons. Ultimately, God "organizes" his people through his Son Jesus and by the Holy Spirit, and not through extracted rules from the Bible.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Vox Balaenae
In 1967, biologists Roger Payne and Scott McVay discovered that humpback whales "sing" and published recordings of the whales' complex vocalizations, after which "whale song" quickly entered the popular consciousness and helped propel the "save the whales" environmental movement forward.
A Lively God
In today's video, Rev. Lincoln Harvey discusses our desire to "domesticate" the liveliness and abundance of God. Harvey notes that the Trinity highlights both the manyness and oneness of God, which can be hard to Christians to fully understand.
Beginning with the End in Mind
In today's video, Oxford physicist Ard Louis discusses the famous debate between renowned evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Simon Conway Morris over the idea of evolutionary convergence.
Science or sola Scriptura?
So, for Driscoll, the choice is a simple dichotomy: Scripture or science. Scripture is the highest court of authority in all matters, and the role of believing scientists is to affirm Scripture. To fail to do so is to "exchange the truths of Scripture for the truths of science".
The Truthfulness of Scripture: Inerrancy, Part 1
Against the repeated claim that the doctrine of inerrancy arose first with Protestant orthodoxy, we could cite numerous examples from the ancient and medieval church. It was Augustine who first coined the term "inerrant," and Luther and Calvin can speak of Scripture as free from error.
On Deciphering the Signature
The interesting thing about this is that Steve Meyer and I are probably really in almost the same exact position when it comes to our core beliefs. We differ primarily in one regard.

Vision problems can interfere with the process of reading, but vision problems don't cause dyslexia. Some people may claim that vision therapies (such as covering one eye or using colored lenses) help treat dyslexia. But there hasn't been strong evidence to support this claim.Reference 5
Some advertised reading programs that promise success in teaching phonics and reading for children who have dyslexia should be viewed with caution. Before you invest in these programs, request research that documents their claims, and talk to school personnel and doctors.

This month, KPAC is celebrating thirty years of broadcasting. Our hosts are having some fun sharing "30 lists" - artists, music, movies, and recordings you might enjoy, that help shape the sound of your classical oasis.
As the curator of Texas Public Radio's film series, Cinema Tuesdays, I spend a lot of my free time enjoying movies, and their soundtracks. Soundtracks make up a small but important section of our library at KPAC. Because we connect to movies on such a personal level, film scores often come with built-in emotional attachment. Below is a list of some of my favorites. While this is by no means a 'best of' list, these are the records I enjoy spinning most often on my CD player and iPod. I created a Spotify list, linked below, so you can listen to all of the tracks in a playlist, and in the article, each track is linked to Amazon when available so you can download a song or album for yourself. Have fun listening!
Click here to listen to the list on Spotify.
Joint Base San Antonio is getting ready to honor America's Vietnam veterans today; 3 million veterans are long overdue for a proper "welcome home."
About 40 years ago, veterans who served in Vietnam came home in a trickle, wounded and suffering, but there was virtually no one there to greet them.
Members of all four branches of the U.S. military gathered on a Fort Sam Houston parade field Tuesday to rehearse and prepare for hundreds of guests to the 50th Anniversary Welcome Home Ceremony.
Generally speaking, Texas is a Red state - the Romney/Ryan ticket landed 57 percent of the vote to the Obama/Biden 41 percent, which failed to reach the 44 percent they got in 2008 - but the vote counts in metropolitan areas show strong pockets of Democratic support.
Republican incumbent John Garza was elected during the Republican sweep in the 2010 mid-term elections, but this year former San Antonio City Councilman Philip Cortez ended election night with 53 percent of voter support to win the seat.
Cortez said he pledges to fight any additional cuts to the Texas education system when he takes office in January.
"I will fight them tooth and nail because those dollars are for our children and for the resources that teachers need to ensure we are properly educating the future leaders of this great state of Texas," Cortez said.
Bexar County will have a new sheriff after the Republican challenger unseated Democratic incumbent Amadeo Ortiz.
Bexar County Sheriff-Elect Susan Pamerleau had a smile from ear to ear with an early vote lead of nine percent when the polls closed on election night. In the end, Pamerleau had won by a slim margin with 51 percent.
At the Republican watch party, Pamerleau dropped hints that she is intent on changing some of the inner workings of the sheriff's department.
The Tea Party-supported doctor beat Democratic opponent John Courage, a San Antonio teacher, with just over 65 percent of the vote in a race that wasn't close from the time early voting numbers were posted.
Congressman Lloyd Doggett will be headed back to the nation's Capital, but this time to represent an entirely new district. The 2010 Census birthed Congressional District 35 due to the rise in the Hispanic population, and on election night, Doggett proved to be the long-lasting representative he has come to be known for.
Doggett expressed some disappointment in moving on from a district that spanned the Rio Grande Valley to Bastrop.
With nearly 64 percent of the votes in Congressional District 20, Joaquín Castro won the seat being vacated by the long-serving Charlie Gonzalez who is retiring at the end of this term.
San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro introduced his brother, Joaquín as a newly-elected congressman, saying that he will be a breath of fresh air in Washington, D.C.
Early returns had Pre-K 4 SA in a dead heat in early voting numbers, but votes supporting the measure gained ground as the election-day results were tallied.
The crowd at the Castro election headquarters was jubilant as Mayor Julián Castro said early in the evening that he believed the measure would pass, "and I think San Antonians have made the right decision tonight."

Cultures Help Swiss Cheese Manufacturers Gain Control Of Their Products Distinctive Look
Swiss-style cheese manufacturers benefit from a more consistent product and faster processing using new CHOOZIT Eyes Cheese Cultures from Danisco. These outstanding alternatives to the market's existing standard cultures give manufacturers superior control when securing the characteristic holey appearance of Emmental and Maasdam-style cheeses.
CHOOZIT Eyes overcomes traditional processing challenges easily – producing Swissstyle cheese with the perfectly formed eyes that consumers associate with high quality and a good taste.
Efficient eye formation and faster ripening are achieved through the cultures' ability to promote rapid gas formation and interact with standard cheese flavour adjuncts. The CHOOZIT Eyes range has also been proven to produce a more consistent result than other standard cultures.
Containing propionic acid bacteria, CHOOZIT Eyes is the latest addition to Danisco's extensive CHOOZIT Cheese Cultures range. Working with Danisco's application specialists, cheese manufacturers can bring numerous functional and sensory advantages
to their processing.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has made Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan his vice presidential choice.
Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican Party nominee for president in 2012, has chosen Wisconsin Representative Paul Ryan as his vice presidential running mate.
His campaign announced the pick Saturday morning, dubbing the them "America's Comeback Team."
The two made their first appearance on the USS Wisconsin, a retired World War II battleship, in Norfolk, Virginia Saturday morning.
Romney's campaign also released a biography of Ryan. Here are some of the facts:
- Ryan is in his seventh term in Congress representing Wisconsin's 1st District.
- He is Chairman of the House Budget Committee.
- He also serves on the House Ways and Means Committee.
- Ryan, 42, is married to Janna Little. They have three children and live in Janesville, Wisconsin.
- Prior to running for Congress, Ryan served as an aide to Republican Senators Robert Kasten Jr. and Sam Brownback, former U.S. Rep. and Vice Presidential Candidate Jack Kemp, and as a speechwriter for Education Secretary William Bennett.
- Ryan is a graduate of Joseph A. Craig High School in Janesville and earned degrees in economics and political science from Miami University in Ohio.
What do you think of Romney's choice of Paul Ryan for vice president? Let us know in the comment's section.

The 4 biggest lies in politics. 1. Read my lips,I won't raise taxes. 2. Iraq has weapons of mass destruction. 3. Tax cuts for the wealthy will create jobs. 4. Ryans plan will not hurt seniors and people on medicare. UTTERED BY WHO?
Telling it like it is
12:31 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
You must be suffering from Bush derangement syndrome. Lets get alittle more up to date on those political lies. "I was born in Hawaii". "I will close Gitmo". "I will cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term". "If I don't fix the economy in 3 years, this is going to be a one-term proposition". "If you pass my stimulus package, unemployment won't rise over 8%" Oh and "Obamacare is not a tax"
But the most egregious deception comes from Lizzy Lieawatha herself, when she stated "I am not a fake Indian".
5 more months until sanity is restored.

Mike, FYI Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. How do we know, THEY USED them dozens of times in the Iran-Iraq war (Sept 80-Aug 88). Their favorites were mustard gas and VX nerve gas. Over 1 MILLION people died in it, including over 100K civilians. Where they went is still a mystery?
Also, only 63% of the people are working now, only 52% of them pay taxes. That's 33% that pays for EVERYTHING. You should focus on getting the other 67% that is on the dole to get out of the free ride in the wagon and start pushing the wagon to contribute something to our country.
Minds like parachutes Mike, only work when open

In response to michael's comment, http://roadmap.republicans.budget.house.gov/ this web site will show you that people over the age of 54 will not have any benefit changes. Its the tail end of the baby boomers and future generation who will have to deal with changes. The program he proposes will assist the poor rather than the wealthy figuring the later will have the means to help themselves. Ryan also asks for parties on both side of the isle to throw their ideas into the mix and lets debate it out to come up with the best plan for the future. Being an election year how many takers do you think he has gotten. It is easy to judge when you don't have a suggestion for fixing the problem.
Fiscal Conservative
8:18 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Any BOZO who believes that Ryan's Plan will remain, as is, is a total fool (Just like the 535 that are in Congress). His plan is a beginning, not an end product.
If we can just get those MORONS in D.C.(both parties) to work for US, not Special Interests, then maybe there will be a finished product that will work.
Remember, nothing in this world is free. If you think we can add to healthcare roles w/o either cutting costs or raising premiums you're nuts. Money MUST come from somewhere. Where is that? The participants!!! One way or another we'll pay. Rationing or higher costs. Get your heads out of the sand. What I said is fact, not fantasy. Try to look at issues in a reasonable manner, not what politicians tell you.Research for yourself!!!

You have a rich old guy as the presidential candidate then get a younger white rich guy from wisconsin as your running mate. The GOP is continuing to cast itself as a party of rich white men, zero appeal to minorities and ethinic groups (as much of you out there want to deny it...those groups are becoming major voting blocks).
The party has run moderates out of its electorate and has really done nothing to appeal to indepedents. The GOP is is in big trouble

This election will clearly be decided on the comment pages of Patch.

Ryan's mother would have received Social Security benefits when her husband died at the time Paul Ryan was age 16. This would have supplimented the family income and perhaps act as a boost for his college tuition while he attended a state school built and paid for by taxpayers. He's a living example of the success of Social Security and the state college system as investments in people.
Now he's an enemy of the very system that helped his family. Self reliance??? Some people forget where they came from and how it all happened. As the president said, self made people don't do it alone. Someone else was there to help.
2:52 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
You just hypothesized that whole argument without one known fact...typical democrat! You have no idea if his mother received social security or his college tuition was reduced/free!
8:29 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
To: TWMseven11
His mother actually did receive Social Security benefits when her husband (Ryan's father) died. Also, I didn't say he received "reduced/free" tuition. The Social Security benefits (extra money in the family budget) would have helped to contribute toward his tuition at the state college where he attended. A state college built with taxpayers' money.
Now, does this truth hurt?
2:36 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Not really. You wrote "would have" in your original statement. If she did receive SS, then she received SS. Doesn't mean he has to support a broken program.
Steve Kramer
6:37 am on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
First of all, as with any VP candidate, the level of interest in the #2 person has a shelf life of about 10 days and then it fades into the background. Ryan is a thoughtful, well spoken, consevative Republican whose fiscal policies will firm up the base for Romney but will be ineffective and potentially damaging with Independents and the elderly vote. Overall, his selection looks good on the surface but will not help
Romney bridge the gap that he faces to win the election.
Kurt Buermann
8:38 am on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
..."shelf life of about 10 days" Dunno..
The Palin woman still basks in the spotlight of iniquity, 4 years later .
3:11 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
"Would have" is past tense. ( He was age 16)
3:20 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Sorry but "would have" is conditional perfect tense, implying something that MAY have happened. Therefore, saying you didn't know if she received SS as a fact.
7:36 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
My bad English. Now add to your knowledge base and look up Social Security benefits. I actually know she received benefits.
Jeff Sitter
10:22 pm on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
We should all scroll back up to Steve P.'s comments in his second paragraph. If you really want to improve our collective situation take a good look at the numbers. We hear from our leadership that about tax cuts for the wealthy. Well what about the people free loading on the system. We used to have manufacturing jobs that could support people of that caliber. Companies rewarded years of work with pensions. People were proud to work for a company that took care of them. It was not uncommon for a person to spend their entire working life with the same company. Our government makes great promises every four years on how they are the ones to fix all our problems. Given the track record of the present government, anyone who thinks more of the same will get us out of this debacle is delusional. Until we level the playing field "WE" 33% will have to pony up the doe for everyone.
6:53 am on Wednesday, August 15, 2012
I want a President who has been successful in business! That's who we need to lead this country out of this gaping hole we are in. It is delusional to think that the financially healthy (and not necessarily rich) will continue to build businesses, employ the rest of us, work well beyond what we consider fulltime, or even stay here in this country if things continue as they have been the last 3 years. We want them here! Even if they have minimized their tax liability through legal means, they are still paying large amouts of taxes, not spending their money at Walmart, probably did not recieve financial aid for college (how many of you have recieved that benefit?), and those who make more statistically have more years of education than the rest of us. Equal outcomes is just not possible or feasible. We can all agree reform is needed in many areas, but don't cut off your nose to spite your face.
Brian Mc.
10:31 pm on Saturday, August 18, 2012
The presidential election will come down to the economy. If unemployment remains high (over 8% now) then people will look for alternatives than the current administration. I believe Ryan will be good for the debate over entitlements and debt. Our nation must look at these issues seriously to avoid the financial meltdown that several European countries now face. Ryan has come up with his draft and I would expect the Obama administration to publicize their plan. Politicians must realize this is now a zero sum gain. All of us must be willing to sacrifice to put the nation on the right financial footing.

Paul Ryan was truly a most excellent choice. And can he ever deliver the truth in a speech like few others!

This page describes how to integrate Sonar into a build script for Apache Ant.
Table of Contents |
- Ant 1.7.1 or higher
- Java 1.5 or higher
- Sonar 2.8 or higher. The server must be up while running the Ant task.
Version compatibility
Ant task | Sonar 2.6 | Sonar 2.7 | Sonar 2.8 | Sonar 2.9 to Sonar 3.0 |
1.4 | ||||
1.3 | ||||
1.2 | ||||
1.1 | ||||
1.0 | but without support of multi-modules |
The way to configure the Sonar Ant task has changed between version 1.0 and version 1.1, so if you must use the Ant task version 1.0, please use this documentation page.
Older versions of Sonar are not supported.
- Download the Sonar Ant Task
Declare the Sonar Ant Task and define the configuration in a common Ant script file :
Analyze project
Define a new sonar Ant target in your Ant build script :
Declaring a XML namespace for Ant tasks is optional but always recommended if you mix tasks from different libraries.
The Definition for key is groupId:artifactId. It has to consist of 2 values separated by colon (":").
For advanced features such as reusing existing unit test reports, you can define advanced parameters. These parameters are set with the <property> nodes of Sonar task.
Execute the following command from the project base directory :
It's recommended to build the project before, usually to get bytecode and unit test reports.
The Sonar Ant task stores all temporary files in a '.sonar' directory which is automatically created by the Ant task in the working directory.
Since version 1.2 you can specify sonar.libraries using path-like structure as following :
Analyse multi-modules project
Let's say that we have a project "Parent" containing two modules "Child1" and "Child2" and we want Sonar to be able to analyse the overall Parent multi-modules project :
The first thing to do is to declare all modules in the build.xml file of the Parent with the "sonar.modules" property :
Known limitation Spaces and return carriages are not supported in the sonar.modules property value: see SONARPLUGINS-1853. |
Then, in each build.xml file of module, the Sonar key and Sonar source directories properties must be defined :
Of course additional but optional Sonar properties can also be defined in each module to provide for instance the binary directories, the list of libraries, ...
You can ask the Sonar task to execute an Ant target on the parent and for each module before collecting those property values. In that case, a new attribute "initTarget" must be added to the Sonar task definition in the build.xml file of the Parent :
Here is the source code of a sample muli-module Ant project |
Use Jacoco with Ant projects
Some additional configuration is required with Ant projects.
The Ant build.xml file must contain a dedicated target to launch either junit or testng unit tests. Let's take the following example with the target "test":
The nested task always has to declare fork="true", otherwise JaCoCo agent can't be attached. In addition task should declare forkmode="once" to avoid starting a new JVM for every single test case and decreasing execution performance dramatically (unless this is required by the nature of the test cases). |
Then, in this example, the value of the parameter "sonar.jacoco.antTargets" must be set to "test". During Sonar analysis, the Sonar Jacoco plugin will take care to attach the Jacoco agent to the JVM and to launch the unit tests.
Only specified targets would be executed. So for instance, if "test" target depends on a "compile" target, Jacoco plugin will only execute "test" target without executing first the "compile" target. In such case, a solution can be to update the "sonar" target in order declare a dependency on the "compile" target. |
Here is the source code of a sample Ant+Jacoco project |
- Main sources and unit test sources can not be mixed in the same directory

Sexual-Orientation Disparities in Cigarette Smoking in a Longitudinal Cohort Study of Adolescents
Nicotine & Tobacco Research, 05/25/2012
Corliss HL et al. – Sexual–orientation minorities are at greater risk for smoking during adolescence and emerging adulthood than heterosexuals. Disparities are larger in females and evident in early adolescence. Prevention and cessation efforts should target this population, preferably beginning in early adolescence.

The aim of a Titan Travel escorted tour is to offer a wonderful, unforgettable holiday. Instead of a single destination, you experience the many highlights of a particular country or region in the most convenient way. The itinerary has already been expertly planned with your comfort and enjoyment as the top priorities.

They say: "One of Titan's main aims is to offer value for money and this Early Booking Bonanza brochure is a very special preview of the range of tours and cruises lined up for 2014 and 2015. Booking early gives you the best range of dates (and cabins on cruises!) and you will save between £50 and £500 on the price of your trip. As the new Titan brochures will be coming out at soon, these preview prices are only available until the 31st July 2013."

They say: "This is the second edition of the flagship Titan brochure and after listening to customer feedback, Titan has opened up hundreds of trips for solo travellers with reduced, half price or no single supplement. There are also lower prices on many of the tours, giving you a saving of up to £300, but rest assured the usual Titan high levels of customer service remain, complete with quality excursions and the VIP Home Departure Service."
Combine an escorted tour with a resort stay to make a fabulous mixed holiday experience
They say: "The second edition of this escorted tour and resort stay brochure. If the idea of exploring more than one destination is tempting, this brochure is for you. Our single and two-centre holidays incorporate less travel time, allowing you to really unwind and only having to unpack once or twice, to ensure a stress free holiday all the way. This brochure also features mini breaks in the UK so you can discover some of the wonders in our own backyard, from the rugged shoreline in Ireland, to the sandy beaches and restaurants in Cornwall."
A full medley of UK and worldwide short breaks, trips and cruises over the festive period
They say: "The first edition of this Christmas and New Year brochure is packed full of varied voyages so you can enjoy an unforgettable holiday. You can escape the chilly weather for some winter sun, go shopping for gifts in New York on a short break, take a wander around some of Europe's delightful Christmas markets, or relax on a cruise ship. We even have special weekend and short breaks in the UK for those who just don't want to cook. There are even special departures to celebrate Chinese New Year and Hogmanay in Scotland."
Let Titan lead the way with this collection of UK and Europe-wide tours and breaks
They say: "This is the second edition of our Europe brochue, bringing a whole host of options so you can explore this amazing continent, with us by your side. Whether you've always fancied cruising the Norwegian fjords, relaxing on the shores of an Italian lake eating ice cream,losing yourself amongst the medieval streets of Dubrovnik, or discovering the seaside on your doorstep with a short break in Bournemouth, we've got all the 'must do' holidays and a whole lot more in this Europe-wide brochure. As well escorted tours we've got no fly holidays, river cruises and resort stays for you to choose from. And of course, there is still Titan's VIP home departure service that is included from every address in the UK to get you to your UK departure point for free."
Discover the United States and Canada on an escorted tour, a cruise or an iconic rail journey
They say: "This brochure has all sorts of itineraries and destinations, with a whole host of holiday options to the USA and Canada, with even Alaska and Hawaii included too. As well as the traditional escorted tour, you can opt for cruises, voyages by rail or a combination of the two. You'll see some departures have been designated 'Signature Tours' which have been picked out by Titan as being holidays that particularly show case the Titan philosophy. Some are itineraries that have been running for years and are always popular, others are new trips with the added bonus of superlative hotels to stay in. And don't forget, each holiday price includes the famous Titan VIP Home Departure Service too."
Cruise the most famous rivers – all fully escorted from the UK
They say: "All the river cruises featured in the second edition of this 2013 brochure are escorted from the moment you leave your house in the UK. Being elegant, romantic and comfortable vessels, there's no better way to discover the scenery and cultural treasures of Europe, Egypt and Asia than by boat on the river. These river cruises offer excellent value for money as they are on a full board basis, with onboard accommodation, meals (often including wine) and trips all included in the price. All tours include direct scheduled flights or upgraded Eurostar tickets to meet the boat and the services of the Titan tour manager too. Look out for our new exclusive Titan charters of the four star Filia Rheni II vessel for a new standard in river cruise luxury."
Coastal cruises, ocean cruises, no fly cruises, expedition cruises and grand voyages all combined with a land-based stay or tour, all in one brochure
They say: "The Titan Cruise and Tour brochure includes worldwide holidays that involve both a cruise and an escorted tour on land to make for a 'Grand Voyage'. This means you get the best of both worlds as you get to sit back and relax as you cruise on the waters and explore onshore with a tour led by your Titan guide and tour manager. For example, you could be combining a tour of the Rocky Mountains by road or rail with a cruise along Alaska's glacier-strewn coastline. All packages include accommodation, all meals onboard the boat and first class hotels for the land tour part. There are also door to door transfers no matter where you live in the UK and all flights are on scheduled airlines."

Many of the itineraries include signature lectures, complimentary fine wines and other drinks. Many tours also offer a choice of onshore excursions, including guided walking tours."
Inspiring escorted tours in luxury to discover Africa
They say: "For many people Africa means plains stretching as far as the eye can see, populated by a host of creatures great and small. Indeed, the wildlife is definitely a highlight and this vast continent has great safaris, but also much more to offer too. Africa is a real melting pot of cultures, religions and civilisations, each nation having its own identity and we have tours that'll see you discovering all this. Accommodation is varied, with everything from five star lodges and comfortable 'Meru' tents to international class city hotels."

Antique Halo Diamond Engagement Ring Setting ER5402W84JJ
This ring is a favorite here at Emma Parker & Co. Probably the most unique design feature of this ring is the beautiful satin finish. The soft look is such a contrast to the traditional high polish look that it really gives this ring a tremendous softness. The thin shank accentuates the apparent size of the halo and center stone. The shank of the ring is thin, and has the appearance of wires banded together by diamond encrusted ties, with a row of exquisite pave diamonds running down the center of the shank. The basket is very low, and there is beautiful detailing under the halo. The center stone is held in place by four double prongs which accentuate the beauty of the piece. An exquisitely designed contoured wedding band, encrusted with pave set diamonds, is available to sit flush along side the engagement ring.
As with all of our rings, we can customize this ring to meet your specific desires. Please feel free to contact us with all your questions, and we will be happy to answer your questions, get custom pricing, and offer you guidance from our vast experience.
Metals Available: 14k White, Yellow, and Rose Gold; 18k White, Yellow, and Rose Gold; Two-Tone; Platinum
Center Stone Setting Type: Prong with halo
Side Stone Setting Type: Pave
Number of Sidestones: 52
Approximate Total Carat Weight: 0.53cttw
Diamond Quality: H Color, SI2 Clarity
Center stone/Matching wedding band sold separately; contact us for more info
Can be modified to hold different center stone shapes
This ring is "made to order" specifically to meet your center stone and ring size needs

Managing Your Portfolio in Difficult Markets
by Charles Rotblut, CFA
Following a turbulent year in the global financial markets, it's tempting to make changes to your portfolio. This is particularly the case if the value of your portfolio is less now than it was 12 months ago. The best strategy, however, is to not focus on last year's performance, but rather on your long-term strategy.
Focusing on the long term isn't just about how you view your portfolio, but how you manage it. Here are steps you should take to keep working toward your long-term goals.

Avoid Two Common Behavioral Errors
Investors of all levels of expertise and experience often make two behavioral errors: being overconfident in their skills and projecting that the future will be just like the present (or the very recent past).
The first error occurs when an investor believes he has special insight, or at least thinks he knows enough to ignore long-term advice. An example would be moving money out of stocks because you believe a global crash is forthcoming. Doing so assumes you have special insight into the economies, monetary policies and politics of multiple countries. It also ignores the simple fact that most forecasts are wrong.

Great common sense advice....practical strategy to keep us on course. Thanks for sharing and re-enforcement.
posted about 1 year ago by Michael from Maryland
Appreciate the advise. However, Should not one take advantage to take a profit? I don't suggest selling all shares but at times do some nibbling.
posted 8 months ago by Warren Laird from Kentucky
I'm in the situation where I need to rebalance to purchase more bonds. However, the market crashed the day I was supposed to sell the stocks. It crashed again 2 days later!! Now I will lose substantial amounts if I sell to purchase bonds. What's your advice on this situation?

Analysis: Romney's aggressive performance cheers GOP
WASHINGTON – Challenger Mitt Romney used Wednesday's debate to put President Barack Obama on the defensive on health care, jobs and other issues. The president's reluctance to fire back harshly gave new hope to Republican partisans.
Romney managed to highlight his top campaign themes – calling for lower tax rates, less regulation, the repeal of "Obamacare" – while largely fending off Obama's demands for details on how to pay for his proposals or safeguard Americans' health and well-being.
Neither Obama nor the debate's moderator, meanwhile, pressed Romney on some of his most vulnerable points. They included Romney's claim that 47 percent of Americans are docile dependents on the government, a topic heavily featured in TV ads and public conversations the past two weeks.

Some people say that alter derives from αλλότεÏÏος (allotterοs ), which is the Aeolic form of αλλότÏιος (allotrios ) [foreign, different, one as different from another]. See: http://ewonago.blogspot.com/
Some other say that alter is a combination of the Greek words άλλος + ÎτεÏος (allos+eteros) (other, different, oposite).
Finally, others say that alter is just the Latin word alter.
Is there another theory?
What do you think?

Simple overdraft fees | You'll pay daily overdraft fees rather than monthly interest, making it easy to manage your money. |
