What a disgrace for the people who live in Cedar Grove - the store should issue an apology to the President and his family.
7:57 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
The way you see this is "your problem" not sure there is anything to appoligize for. The fact that I never even thought there was any racial intent until I read the artical makes me nieve or is it possible you are jumping to a unjustified conclusion.

I see not racist intention, OMG.. Obama spreads racism, class warfare, apologies for America and is always putting America down. Enough is enough...This has to do with pride in America. Not Obama's crash and burn the country..

Let's just focus on figuring out which candidate can move America forward. If that can be done without insinuating that African Americans are somehow not people, but monkeys, then all the better.
10:42 am on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
What are you talking about, President Obama is the proudest American, because he think before he acts. He will never put this country down. You crash and burn.
2:22 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Regardless of free speech, some of these comments are rude and disgusting. You can think whatever you want about Obama the person. However, he is still the President of the United States and that office needs to be respected.
2:59 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
President of the United States and that office needs to be respected. .. Yes too bad when Bush was Pres. they didn't. Protesters with Bush hanging, as the Joker, and Hitler. I was not a Bush supporter, but a democrat Hillary supporter in 2008..

4:26 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Which statements are rude and disgusting? Just wondering. Because last I knew, you can respectfully disagree with the president and it is common to express these oppinions openly unlike some other countries where this is seriously discouraged.
4:48 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
Utoh, Given the history of racism in this country, it should not be a surprise to anyone that criticisms of the first black president using images or references to monkeys will be suspected of being racially motivated.
8:30 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
With all due respect to you, Respect is earned. Have you heard what this president said about you. While I do respect the office of the president, I do not respect this presidents seeming lack of pride in America:
He told the French American's are "Arrogant"
We've been a little bit lazy over the last couple of decades.
Obama State Department made a phone call to the family of Al Qaeda propagandist Samir Khan. offered condolences on the part of the American people for killing their Islamist terrorist son during a U.S. drone strike in Yemen.

Gadfly I don't know where you live, but where I live we don't see color. We respect all colors and nationalities. I don't agree with your statement "given the history of racism in this country". That is not to say it doesn't exist, but in the last few years it seems there are some that would like nothing better than to fan the flame that's sad given how far we've come.
3:15 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
It's not a monkey...It's Zippy! He's so cute! I love it! People who view a 1950's stuff monkey toy from the Howdy Doody show that kids loved as racist might want to look at themselves, and how rediculous they sound. This president has divided this country like no other president in our history, to say a stuffed animal is prejudice achieves the goal. Than ask yourself why would any president want to intentionally divide this country. Before this president we were united and hard work was celebrated. (My groceries, and gas were half as well) Now we are suppose to think success is a bad thing and can't say anything unless we agree with this president or it's prejudice, or you might find the IRS at your door, or defending yourself in a courtroom. Ask yourself where the recent unjustified prejudice accusaions originated. Zippy would never lie! I strongly agree with the message. I'm not prejudice, but to say anyone who disagrees is prejudice is dangerous. If Don Ric wants to say something "for now" they have the right to do that. If you disagree you can do that too, for now they shouldn't have to remove it. 4 years from now it's up to you.

I can not speak to this individuals motivation in choosing a monkey to display his message, yet I do question given our shared history, his judgement- especially as a former councilman and trained law enforcement professional where it would be expected that he be highly trained in scouting out not so obvious messages as it relates to gang symbols and things of that nature. The first amendment allows for the freedom of speech no matter how malicious, vile, and disagreeable that speech may be. In this particular case though, I believe it might have been a temporary lapse in judgement versus a genuine racist message for his choosing of the monkey costume. The public might disagree with this view, believing that it was indeed racially motivated and to that I say simply, do not give his small business, any business. Show your discontent with your pockets! It's not logical to assume that a person who has dedicated his life to public service, be branded in one single incident, a racist but thats the world we live in today. In closing, do you remember Harvard Law Professor Gates accusation several years ago that his arrest was racially motivated and how the media and pubic were quick to crucify the officer and the Boston Police Department for making that arrest- only to learn that that Boston Cop was one of the leading diversity/race relation criminal justice educators in the country? How does this compare you might wonder? See the general in the particular!
9:13 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
visitor, I do recall the Gates thing. What was troubleing to me is how the president quickly resonded to this arrest and the recent Flordia arrest: He said the Boston officer behaved "stupidly", what I think we know separate and apart from this incident is that there's a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately. This is just my oppinion, but as a lawyer I would think he might wait to learn the facts before jumping to conclusions. If the goal is to unite, I would definately remain quiet until all facts are known if I had to say anything. What was the objective? The president has tramendous influence, it seems irresponsible.
7:17 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
utoh............the comments that were rude and disgusting have apparently been removed by the editor! I guess I'm not the only one who thought so.
11:20 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
FYI, Oboma is not black or white nor dose he have any experience to run this country or my life. Are you better off now? Work heard to give your money to ligules and deadbeats and country's that hate us, If that POS some how gets back in I'm going on welfare
11:35 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
An effigy of the president as a monkey is about as racist as you can get. Don't EVEN try to sugarcoat that one. But hey we as a nation, you guys, are probably more sexist than racist at this point. Any fool who supports Romney or Ryan is a downright misogynist. I'll go with the black guy.......
8:03 am on Monday, August 13, 2012
Wow, you learned a new big word. I have been collecting monkey toys since I was little, just never thought of it that way. It's clear you support this presdent, I problably won't. But when I vote I will know why. You might be mummbling something about hope and change and "BUSH!" and this time around you might add new words like "Sexist" and "Racist!" Yeah ...that's why, hun...hun....I did it! I voted.
11:42 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
and what is "work heard"? New language you invented?
11:51 pm on Sunday, August 12, 2012
I don't understand why people are so pissed at the president, it's the congress that got nothing done during his term. I have never seen such a catastrophe, the congress even voted against President Obama to fund infrastructure funding......because he's black and they want to see him fail? How does that make sense? It is pathetic how appallingly PETTY people are.....our useless congressional representatives and most of the posters on this site. i.e., the general population are critically stupid. Nothing gets done for the general good of a nation when people can't see past their petty differences.

Regardless of your political affiliation, this is racist. Whoever decided that this was a good idea should be ashamed of him or herself. Local residents should avoid this business.
Dan Grant
9:26 am on Monday, August 13, 2012
Of course it was racist and the owner being a former Police Officer should have every ticket or arrest reviewed for his entire career when it involved a minority. People don't change their behavior. Given the comments on the article Cedar Grove ought to be in Alabama. Decent people should put the man out of business. He wants to get involved in politics that is his business but an overtly racist public display ought to carry a price from the public.

Political correctness gets sicking, People grow up there is nothing intentional racist about this, only the ones that have racism on their minds, they are the true racists.
Is showing George Bush as a monkey racist??? There are many more like this.

@firedup49, Your job for the day is to figure out how/why a cartoon of George Bush as a monkey is different from President Obama as a monkey.
Thomas Auzinger
11:58 am on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
@Teesmyth, I don't condone comparing people with animals either way, but I think in Bush's case the monkey alluded to his perceived inferior intelligence, whereas in Obama's case it is a thinly veiled statement saying that blacks are monkeys and should not hold public office;.

4:56 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
First of all everyone knows that referring to a African-American as a monkey is racist. It was used as a racial slur. Just like if I put a cracker face and used Romney as the body, everyone will know what I meant. Please stop trying to insult our intelligence.
6:27 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
So, every time a monkey is referenced, it's a racial slur? Baloney. The people who see or hear racism everywhere might just be too thin-skinned.
Why not let's stick to the issues. This president lies repeatedly. He's a statist and thinks the government can seize any property it wants. He is counting on gullible masses to believe in the free lunch myth.
Dan Grant
6:06 pm on Monday, August 13, 2012
Are you racists just as dumb as you sound or are you just ignorant of the history of Black-Monkey racism which has been a horrible part of American history for centurys including the justification of Slavery and Jim Crow Laws. Here is just a small bit of recent history. That this man was a Police Officer and an elected official is disturbing.
"In fact, several public incidents have linked the proliferation of these images to elected officials in the Republican Party. One specific episode involving anti-Black monkey imagery happened in April 2011. A Tea activist and Orange County Republican Party official Marilyn Davenport made headlines when it was revealed that she had sent out an email with the President depicted as the offspring of chimpanzees. The text of the email read, "Now you know why no birth certificate." She claimed to have not thought about the "historic implications" of the image, despite the fact that she had earlier defended a fellow Orange County Republican for having sent out an image of the White House lawn as a watermelon patch with the message, "No Easter egg hunt this year."
7:58 am on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Everyone has misinterpreted this! The monkey does not represent President Obama. It is wearing an anti Obama shirt, so the monkey represents the league of knee jerk Obama haters and ditto heads who allow their primitive fears to overshadow their intellect.
8:59 am on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
very poor taste. Obama has ads inferring that Romney is a murderer. Reid saying Romney has not paid taxes in ten years. Rubbish and a lie. This citizen has showed no class insulting the President with this display.
i wish our President and his rabid supporters would show some class and stop the fear and smear tactics they are filling the airwaves with. Obama is setting a terrible tone for this country, so i am afraid it will not get better anytime soon. Chicago politics and President whose policies are ruining our country.
Dan Grant
11:51 am on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
Since Romney uses Bain Capital as his number one area of expertise, it is reasonable to look at the after effects of people's lives when Bain has been involved. The man blames Bain, hence Romney for his inability to have the insurance his wife needed. That is a fact but to equate this racist ex-elected official's thinking this comparison of the President to a monkey is appropriate is probably more a view of mainstream Cedar Grove. It is racist pure and simple. You will also remember that this add was paid for by a superpac not associated with the campaign. Romney used that exact same excuse for his vicious attacks on Newt Gringrich during the primaries.
10:52 am on Tuesday, August 14, 2012
What going on with some of these people thing, a monkey is a monkey, putting omg (Obama) t shirt on it does represent disrespect to our president.

I demand to see Mittwit's birth certificate! I don't believe he was really born in the USA. He was born in Mexico like his grandfather. Why won't he show us his birth certificate and his tax returns?
K. Jones
10:24 pm on Wednesday, August 15, 2012
Yes, this is a disrespect to the President of the USA, and it was racist. Just think this person was a law enforcement. You just have to pray for people like him

Oh my gosh! The "Lilly the Pit bull" story actually made me cry. Why do people think all pit bulls are mean? THEY'RE NOT! All dogs have the ability to be mean, but some aren't and some are. The personality of a dog mostly revolves around how well the owner treats them. Pit bulls are an amazing breed, just like any other dog. Please stop thinking that EVERY pit bull is mean, because now you know that is NOT true, AT ALL.

I received the kit in a plain box. It was filled with items from bulk and individual stock. I could tell because many items had hang tags and bar code stickers on them. I worked at Sears for 4 years in the past. 3 of the 4 locking pliers were not Professional, and were made in China. The 1/4" thumb wheel ratchet is made in Taiwan. The flare nut wrenches are made in China. Everything else was USA made and as advertised. It is a shame you can not get the quality of tools in singles and instead have to buy these large older sets.

I bought this set because the picture showed old stock USA-made tools. Unfortunately, that is not what arrived. Everything is thrown into a brown cardboard box. Some tools came in the same packaging you would see in the store. Other tools were loose or in bags. The thumbwheel ratchets, vise grip pliers, and flare nut wrenches were all newer items from Asia. On closeout, this set is still a good deal for some discontinued USA-made tools.

I am getting my degree in diesel technology, and I am starting to build my tool collection. Most people at my school buy snap on, or matco tools, but I chose to get craftsman because I wanted to get as much as I could with the expenses I had available. At first I was gonna get snap on, but I would not have gotten near the amount tools i got from craftsman for the same price. I have found that a lot of craftsman tools are just as reliable and cost a fraction of the price of the other brands, plus craftsman has a lifetime warrenty too. I bought this set to compliment my 106 pc advanced professional set, 299pc socket set, and various other tools I bought. The stubby wrenches and deep offset wrenches come in handy for hard to reach places, and I love the flex head 3/8 ratchet, and the stubby 3/8 ratchet. It comes with a good variety of other specialty tools. That being said, I did not like that it did not come with any 1/2 in extensions even though it came with 3/8 and 1/4 in extensions. Plus the flare nut wrenches are made in china, which sucks. I am trying to find some other ones that are made in USA if not Ill get some from snap on. Over all I am very pleased with this set. If you dont have any of these tools I recomend buying this set, You cant beat the price and a few of these tools will save you a head ache.

RIDGEWAY — Ridgeway residents turned out Saturday afternoon at Aimwell Presbyterian Church to bid farewell and Godspeed to long-time public servant Roy Hudson.
Hudson died April 11 at the age of 94.
Hudson was a recipient of The Order of the Silver Crescent, an inductee into the S.C. Firefighters Hall of Fame, was fire chief of Ridgeway, interim police chief of Ridgeway, First Citizen of the Year for Ridgeway (2007) and a volunteer fireman with over 70 years of service.
Firefighters in Ridgeway had a slogan of "Beat Mr. Roy" as each tried to beat him to the fire call but no one ever did.
"He will long be remembered as a patriarch and servant to the Town of Ridgeway," said Mayor Charlene Herring. "This was a wonderful tribute for a man who meant so much to Ridgeway and Fairfield County."
The American Flag was draped over Main Street in Ridgeway by the Fairfield County Fire Department in honor and memory of his service as a fireman and his love of Ridgeway.

NEW YORK STATE -- If you're planning on going shopping this weekend, you may want to know about a sales tax break coming our way.
The state tax department says starting April 1, the four percent state sales tax on clothing and footwear costing less than $110 will be dropped.
Last year, the threshold was $55.
Most local governments in our area, however, will still collect local sales tax.
Shoppers can enjoy the tax break for a year.

Welcome to the January 2013 edition of Employment Eye our monthly newsletter with information on the latest employment law developments and how they should be implemented.
The European Court of Human Rights has handed down its long awaited decision in four joined cases on religious discrimination in the workplace. The Court reached two opposite conclusions on similar facts relating to the right to wear religious symbols at work; and has also looked at balancing competing rights to religious freedom and equality of sexual orientation. Sarah Michael explains more.

We are holding a PF2 workshop on 17 January 2013 which will discuss these issues in greater detail.

Medical doctors see lots of patients each day and sometimes amid the visits that take a sick individual to a private practice or an emergency room there is a misdiagnoses of symptoms. Alongside the doctor some clinics employ a physician assistant (PA) who does not have a license to practice medicine, but has substantially more training than a nurse. Instead of seeing a doctor, a person who has the symptoms of the flu may be suffering from a serious disease, but the PA treats them as they would a person that is Continue reading

Understanding Immigrant Rights With A Visa Attorney
Despite the political problems the United States currently faces, this country remains a beacon of prosperity for many people throughout the world. The number of foreigners who hope to immigrate into America is exponentially higher than the number America is willing to accept. The process toward legal residency is lengthy and challenging, and the consequences for staying illegally—including U.S. citizens who enable immigrants without proper documentation—are immense. However, immigrants Continue reading

Be Empowered With A Bankruptcy Attorney
There is a tendency to view bankruptcy in very black-and-white terms— to some people, it symbolizes total financial ruin and to others it is a no-strings-attached ticket out of trouble. However, both of these views are overly simplistic. In reality, bankruptcy is a complex legal and financial process that is dictated by both federal code and varied state laws. It is an important legal protection that can provide real relief, but many people critically misunderstand how it works. If you are overwhelmed by your financial situation, a bankruptcy attorney in Toledo may be Continue reading

You have to hire an injury lawyer to come into the situation and sort everything out. You and your lawyer can work together to form a cohesive narrative that you present in the courtroom.

How To Find An Auto Accident Lawyer
Even though the most feared kind of transportation is flying, it is amazing how riskless it is compared to driving. Thousands if not millions of people get into automobile accidents every single day, while a private plane will go down every few months and a passenger plane will go down every few years. But driving is a real danger, and not just due to personal negligence, but due to the negligence of others. If you have been involved in an automobile accident and have sustained injuries, you may be entitled to Continue reading
A Short Sale Attorney Can Explain The Pros And Cons
Through the last five years of financial crisis, many American homeowners have found themselves with serious money troubles.

In a very short time period, a huge number of people suddenly owed more money on their homes than the properties were worth. A Continue reading

Policy, discretion guide media sources probes

It was a rare moment in relations between the media and the government: In 2008, FBI Director Robert Mueller called the top editors at The New York Times and The Washington Post to apologize because the bureau had improperly obtained reporters' telephone records four years earlier. The Justice Department's latest effort to examine whom journalists are talking to _ the secret subpoena of Associated Press phone records from April and May of last year _ demonstrates how government investigators are guided more by policy and the judgments of high-ranking officials than by specific laws or, in this case, the need to satisfy an independent federal judge.

Saks' net income fell 38 percent in the first quarter, but its adjusted results topped analysts' expectations and a key revenue metric climbed. Shares rose more than 8 percent in morning trading on Tuesday after briefly reaching a five-year high. For the three months ended May 4, the luxury retailer earned $20 million, or 13 cents per share. That's down from $32.1 million, or 18 cents per share, a year earlier.

Car Seats
Car seats for children were initially designed in the late 1890's and then again in the 1930's to be a device that simply held children in place while the automobile was in motion, it was not meant to provide any type of collision protection for the child. It wasn't until the 1960's when Swedish designers decided to take another look at car seat design and came up with a rear facing seat to slow down the acceleration of the body in a crash.

A teacher of freshmen students at a Georgia high school has been arrested and charged with sexual assault, accused of having sex with as many as seven students, several media outlets have reported.
Such stories have become fairly common as laws have changed to criminalize sex with younger people who have reached the age of consent yet but have a teacher-student, coach-player or boss-employee relationship. For instance, in Michigan, as with Georgia, the age of consent is 16, but it is now illegalf for people to have sex with those younger than 18 if they are a teacher, boss, coach or someone with an authority position over that teenager.
In Georgia this week, a 32-year-old math teacher and 10-year veteran of Charlton County High School, DaNita Wilson, was charged with seven counts of sexual assault, reports the NYDailyNews.com.
The math teacher has been suspended with pay and is free on bond. School leaders will seek to terminate her employment, reports WPTV.com.
The Huffington Post reports she could face up to 25 years in prison for the charges, but the maximum could be pushed up to 50 years because one of the seven students was underage, 15 years old, exacerbating the charges.
As with Michigan, the teacher-student relationship criminalizes the sex with students who are 16 or older. The relationships reportedly, in at least some cases, lasted more than a year. Wilson's arrest came after the school board received a tip about the alleged relationships, prompting an investigation. A school official escorted the teacher to state investigators with the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, giving her a letter informing her of the paid suspension.
In a CNN story, colleagues expressed surprise at the accuations, noting she'd never been disciplined before.
In Oakland County in recent years, several teachers and coaches have been accused and convicted of sexual misconduct charges related to relationships with students.
In Rochester Hills, an Adams High School softball coach, volunteer Thomas Powell, 59, was sentenced in January of 2012 to one year in jail on such charges involving two young women. When sentenced the then-18-year-old girl told the judge she still loved him and said she would wait for his release.
In Waterford Township, in 2009, the district saw two employees charged with criminal sexual conduct related to relationships with students. Both adults worked at Waterford Mott High School. Continued...
Amy Rita Ellsworth, then 38, was arrested, charged, and later pleaded to a slew of charges related to relationships with three male students, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct, the most serious such charge. She was sentenced to a minimum of five years in prison. The 5-to-30 year sentence of Ellsworth, a teacher assistant, was much more severe than the sentence of Brian Drake, then 41, a theatre coordinator at Waterford Mott who pleaded to reduced charges for a relationship involving touching with a young woman. He received probation, and his son later married the victim.
In Birmingham, a Seaholm High School swim coach was sentenced in 2007 to one-to-15 years in prison for a sexual relationship with a then-16-year-old female swimmer. Dennis Michael Carter, then 53, was sentenced to prison after the girl reported the two-year relationship.

Can you explain why people assume that it's good to be sex-positive? Why be sex-positive instead of sex-skeptical and/or sex-ambivalent? Isn't sex-positivity a form of primitivism and bio-Luddism? What experimental-psychological evidence do sex-positives have to back their claims, if any? And if sex-positivity is not OK, then why is it that a majority of atheists are sex-positive? Or are they not?

Mr Makes a lot of Sense
The love a parent has for a child is the strongest emotion in the world, by far (IMHO). It is almost primal in its strength. There is NO WAY a non-parent can comprehend this. I used to hear that before I had kids, and I thought, "sure... sure." Then my first child was born, and BAM!! that was it. I mean, you love your spouse, your best friends, your parents - but those pale in comparison to the love for your child. You can picture, even if it is painful, not having someone like your spouse in your life. Picturing your child being gone is a dark, horrific place that I can't even contemplate.
Just thought I'd share, and I'd love to hear from other parents to see if they agree.
Agree completely --
I think people who are sex-negative either have bad body image or have had a terrible sexual experience (like rape). Or their religion makes them feel guilty about sex. All three of these I see as not good.
Positivivity towards sex is a lot better than denying a basic human drive and going all Catholic on people. (Sorry, having a difficult time being all a-serious today!)
Very simple really.
Because sex is good.
(With all the caveats about it being between consenting adults, etc.)
I think there's ample evidence from the worlds of psychiatry and clinical psychology that being sex-negative is pathological.
I see no reason to feel bad about something that feels good, provides me with some much needed exercise, strengthens the bond with my husband and promotes a positive self image.
There is enough negativity in the world already.
Of course, I've shrugged off my religious baggage and I've never been raped or had a traumatic experience. So there is that.
Sex is a part of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs - and pretty primary as well. In addition, it has many positive benefits outside of conception, so there is no reason to not be 'sex-positive'.
It is a beautiful, meaningful act between two consenting adults - especially those in love. It is ludicrous to be against sex, IMHO.
That sounds like a psychological issue - and is possibly abnormal.(I hope you don't take offense - it is not intended that way)
I've never had that happen to me, incidentally.

I left the Surgical Intensive Care Unit at the VA Hospital tonight as twilight was fading. By the time I got "home" to the motel where I am staying (one that has become all-to familiar during this grueling journey with Richard's brain cancer), the stars were beginning to appear over the city. I looked overhead and saw Orion striding across the southwestern sky. I stood still for a moment in the parking lot, looking up at the outline of the constellation's tall form.
(Illustration of the constellation Orion by Sherrie York, from my book Walking Nature Home)
As I did, these lines from "Change," a song by Tracy Chapman, came into my head:
"If you knew that you would die today
If you saw the face of God and love
Would you change?
Would you change?"
This morning at six-fifteen, just before Richard was wheeled off to be prepped for brain surgery, Jack, his night nurse, was kind enough to call me and then to hand the phone to Richard so we could talk for a few minutes. That moment when we reminded each other of our love is what came back to me in the parking lot tonight.
"If you knew that you would die today…"
Every time Richard goes in for brain surgery, he could die. This is time four, and let me tell you, it doesn't get any easier with practice.
The hope with today's procedure was to install a shunt that would drain excess fluid from the right side of Richard's brain, allowing it to decompress and function normally again. But when Dr. Brega and her team opened a small hole in his skull and inserted the shunt, "only a dribble of fluid came out." So they drilled more holes in the shunt tube, and inserted it farther into his right brain. Still almost nothing.
On to Plan B. They removed a larger piece of his skull and peered inside. They found "pockets of fluid" here and there, but nothing obvious explaining the pressure squeezing his right brain so it deforms his midline. Except that the membrane* protecting it had hardened and thickened, like a casing of scar tissue. They thinned and/or removed areas of the membrane in the hope that would allow his right brain room to expand outward.
The good news is that side of his brain is no longer compressed vertically: in the month since the previous surgery, it has moved back up to where it belongs. (It had been pressing on the floor of his skull and thus the brain stem, which controls essential automatic functions, like… breathing.)
Despite the anesthesia and painkillers, and the trauma of having his skull opened again, Richard seems more like himself than he has in a while. But it hurts my heart to see him disoriented and in so much pain when he comes out of surgery that he's almost frantic. It is difficult to leave him in his bed in the ICU with his head wrapped in gauze, the two temporary tubes draining the right side of his skull, and his voice hoarse and exhausted.

"If you knew that you would die today/If you saw the face of God and love… Would you change?"
I saw the face of love this afternoon when I walked into the ICU after Richard's surgery and he smiled. That's miracle enough for me.
*Here's cranial-sacral therapist Nicky Leach's explanation of the three layers that make up the meninges, the membrane that protects your brain: "Your post is reminding me of the beautiful meninges that make up the layer protecting the brain and how evocative their names are: the pia mater, the membrane around the brain means 'tender mother'; the arachnoid layer, where the csf flows, is so named because of its spidery avenues; and the dura mater, the tough keratinous layer that is contiguous with the inside of your skull means 'hard mother.'"

Governor Mary Fallin and Markwayne Mullin made an appearance at the Donald W. Reynolds Community Center and Library in Durant Friday evening. The two held a 30-minute meet and greet at the library.
Durant Mayor Tomlinson and Democrat Rob Wallace showed up at Durant Market Square for a stump speech Saturday evening.
Both groups were in Durant to give their last-minute rally cries to the citizens of Bryan County.
Both Mullin and Wallace are running for Oklahoma District 2 Congressional Seat in the Nov. 6 election.
In an earlier statement, Mullin said that he is running because he had gotten fed up with the government and knew the only way make a change was to run.
Mullin plans to spend only six years in congress. He said his number one goal is to make government smaller not larger.
Wallace said in an earlier interview that he felt compelled to run because he saw how frustrated the people were getting and wants to give the working folks a voice.
He said he has traveled the district for a year and has not found anyone who feels they are being properly represented.

Hi Everyone
I've taken the plunge and bought my first ever 'brand new' tuba... Traded in a Rudy Meinl BBb for a new Yamaha Neo compensated BBb.
The Neo is fantastic - very, very happy with my purchase.
I'm wondering what tips people have as to care for a brand new horn. If possible I'd like to avoid pouring milk down it...I have heard different bits and pieces about oiling the valves every day for the first 6 weeks. I'm wondering what opinions people have on 'the first 100 days' of new tuba ownership.

Steve Jobs is known for, aside from Apple and Pixar, his reality-distortion field. He simply made the impossible possible in the tech world.
Steve Jobs is a visionary. And many are like him.
Erik Calonius has documented the "why's" of how these visionaries achieved great success at their respective fields in his book, Ten Steps Ahead: What Separates Successful Business Visionaries from the Rest of Us (affiliate link).
I kept Erik's book in my personal library simply because I love it. Erik found out that these visionaries are not really apart from us – they are only ahead of us. We possess the same quality they possess. But the difference is how they see things differently. And, you, too, can learn to see things differently.
This is the main idea in my latest post titled, "Visionary: Seeing Through Defects" (posted in my personal blog).

The vast natural forest of Yellowstone National Park covers nearly 9,000 km2 ; 96% of the park lies in Wyoming, 3% in Montana and 1% in Idaho. Yellowstone contains half of all the world's known geothermal features, with more than 10,000 examples. It also has the world's largest concentration of geysers (more than 300 geyers, or two thirds of all those on the planet). Established in 1872, Yellowstone is equally known for its wildlife, such as grizzly bears, wolves, bison and wapitis.
La vaste forêt naturelle du parc national de Yellowstone couvre près de 9 000 km2 , dont 96 % dans le Wyoming, 3 % dans le Montana et 1% dans l'Idaho. On trouve à Yellowstone plus de 10 000 caractéristiques thermales, soit plus de la moitié des phénomènes géothermiques du monde. Le parc possède également la plus forte concentration mondiale de geysers, 300 environ qui représentent les 2/3 des geysers de la planète. Créé en 1872, le parc est également connu pour sa faune sauvage qui comprend l'ours grizzli, le loup, le bison et le wapiti.
تغطي غابة منتزه ييلوستون الوطني الطبيعيّة مساحة حوالى 9000 كيلومتر مربع ومنها 69% في وايومينغ و3% في مونتانا و1% في إيداهو. وفي ييلوستون أكثر من 10000 ميزة حراريّة أي حوالى أكثر من نصف الظواهر الحراريّة الجوفيّة في العالم. كما يملك المنتزه التجمّع العالمي الأبرز لمياه الجيزر الذي يناهز عدده 300 أي ثلثي التدفقات في القارة. واستحدث المنتزه عام 1872 وتعرف عنه حياته الحيوانيّة المتوحشّة التي تضم الدب الرمادي والذئب وبيسون والأيلة.
Обширная территория парка площадью около 900 тыс. га, покрытая девственными лесами, располагается на 96% в границах штата Вайоминг, на 3% – в Монтане и на 1% – в Айдахо. Примерно половина всех геотермальных феноменов мира (свыше 10 тыс. объектов) приходится именно на Йеллоустон. Здесь также сосредоточено самое значительное на планете скопление гейзеров – более 300 гейзеров, или примерно 2/3 от их общемирового числа. Парк, образованный в 1872 г. (самый первый национальный парк в США и в мире), известен также своей богатой фауной, представленной гризли, волком, вапити и бизоном.
El Parque Nacional de Yellowstone, creado en 1872, es un vasto bosque natural de casi 9.000 km2 que se extiende por los estados de Wyoming (96% de la superficie), Montana (3%) e Idaho (1%). En él se pueden observar más de la mitad de los fenómenos geotérmicos que se dan en el planeta, con unos 10.000 ejemplos diferentes. También posee más de 300 géiseres, esto es, unos dos tercios de todos los existentes en el planeta. Además, el parque es famoso por su fauna salvaje de osos grizzli, lobos, bisontes y wapitíes.
Yellowstone National Park is a protected area showcasing significant geological phenomena and processes. It is also a unique manifestation of geothermal forces, natural beauty, and wild ecosystems where rare and endangered species thrive. As the site of one of the few remaining intact large ecosystems in the northern temperate zone of earth, Yellowstone's ecological communities provide unparalleled opportunities for conservation, study, and enjoyment of large-scale wildland ecosystem processes.
(vii) The extraordinary scenic treasures of Yellowstone include the world's largest collection of geysers, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River, numerous waterfalls, and great herds of wildlife.
(viii) Yellowstone is one of the world's foremost sites for the study and appreciation of the evolutionary history of the earth. The park has a globally unparalleled assemblage of surficial geothermal activity, thousands of hot springs, mudpots and fumaroles, and more than half of the world's active geysers. Nearly 150 species of fossil plants, ranging from small ferns and rushes up to large Sequoia and many other tree species, have been identified in the park's abundant fossil deposits. The world's largest recognized caldera (45km by 75km – 27 miles by 45 miles) is contained within the park.
(ix) The park is one of the few remaining intact large ecosystems in the northern temperate zone of the earth. All flora in the park are allowed to progress through natural succession with no direct management being practiced. Forest fires, if started from lightning, are often allowed to burn where possible to permit the natural effects of fire to periodically assert itself. The park's bison are the only wild, continuously free-ranging bison remaining of herds that once covered the Great Plains and, along with other park wildlife, are one of the greatest attractions.
(x) Yellowstone National Park has become one of North America's foremost refuges for rare plant and animal species and also functions as a model for ecosystem processes. The grizzly bear is one of the worlds' most intensively studied and best-understood bear populations. This research has led to a greater understanding of the interdependence of ecosystem relationships. Protection of the park's flora and fauna, as well as the natural processes that affect their population and distribution allow biological evolution to proceed with minimal influence by man.
Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872, covers 9,000 km2 of a vast natural forest of the southern Rocky Mountains in the North American west. It boasts an impressive array of geothermal phenomena, with more than 3,000 geysers, lava formations, fumaroles, hot springs and waterfalls, lakes and canyons. It is equally known for its wildlife: grizzly bears, bison, wolves and wapiti, North American elk.
The park is part of the most seismically active region of the Rocky Mountains, a volcanic 'hot spot'. The Yellowstone Plateau, now a forested area of 650,000 ha with an average elevation of 2,000 m, was formed out of the accumulation of rhyolite magma. The plateau is flanked on the north, east and south by mountains that rise to 4,000 m. Crustal uplifts 65 million years ago raised blocks of crust to form the southern Rocky Mountains. After that, volcanic outflows of andesitic composition were common to about 40 million years ago. Andesitic ashflows and mudflows of the Eocene age covered forests, which became petrified. Some 200 species of petrified plant have been found. A more recent period of rhyolitic volcanism began in the region about 2 million years ago, during which time thousands of cubic kilometres of rhyolitic magma filled immense chambers under the plateau and then erupted to the surface. Three cycles of eruption produced huge explosive outbursts of ash. The latest eruptive cycle formed a caldera 45 km wide and 75 km long, when the active magma chambers erupted and collapsed. The crystallizing magma is the source of heat for hydrothermal features such as geysers, hot springs, mud pots and fumaroles.
Yellowstone contains 200-250 active geysers and perhaps 10,000 thermal features. Most of the area was glaciated during the Pleistocene and many glacial features remain. The park lies at the headwaters of three major rivers. Yellowstone River is a major tributary of the Missouri River that flows via the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico. Firehole and Gibbon rivers unite to form the Madison, which also joins the Missouri. Snake River arises near the park's south boundary and joins the Columbia to flow into the Pacific. Yellowstone Lake is the largest lake at high elevation (2,357 m) in North America. Lower Yellowstone Falls is the highest of more than 40 named waterfalls in the park.
The park is dominated by lodgepole pine. Great elevational differences produce a range of plant communities, from semi-arid steppe to alpine tundra. There are seven species of coniferous tree and some 1,100 species of vascular plant growing in the park, including an endemic grass. The thermal areas contain unique assemblages of thermal algae and bacteria.
Six species of ungulate are native to the park. Grizzly bear has been the subject of intensive study and management for 30 years. There are currently some 50 breeding females and 150 cubs have been born in the last three years. Native fishes are protected by regulations that also permit the taking of non-native introduced species.
Palaeontological study of Lamar Cave has yielded remains of over 30 species of mammal. This suggests a diversity of fauna in prehistoric times much like that found in Yellowstone today.
Archaeological investigations of numerous important sites show that human groups visited the park area for 10,000 years, but none made it a permanent home.
Created a national park on 1 March 1872; accepted as a biosphere reserve in June 1976; and accepted as a World Heritage site in 1978. Protection is provided under several congressional acts.
The species listed below represent a small sample of iconic and/or IUCN Red Listed animals and plants found in the property. Clicking on the number in brackets next to the species will reveal other World Heritage Properties in which a species has been identified. These species are identified in an effort to better communicate the biological diversity contained within World Heritage properties inscribed under criteria ix and/or x.

The start of summer means we change hats, shoes, suits, shirts, neckties and even braces with the season. In winter I support my suit trousers with braces, called suspenders in the United States, with straps of boxcloth, a heavy felt. For summer I switch to the barathea version, a lighter fabric made from silk and wool.
Summer or winter, braces support a man's suit trousers with less aggravation than a belt. They're "don and forget," unlike belted trousers that have to be pulled up several times a day. The ends should by the way match one's shoes, or be white. I wear white, so I can wear any pair of braces with any shoes.
Barathea is not quite as comfortable to wear as boxcloth, as the fabric is thinner and not as cushiony. But barathea braces are also considerably lighter than boxcloth and that makes a difference in the heat. Indeed, the dog days of summer are the only time I will occasionally do without as some of my summer suits have trousers designed to be self-supporting.
The best makers of braces these days is Albert Thurston. I endorse Thurston because its models are sized, and the boxcloth versions are designed so that they can be shortened. That means that the metal adjustors are always near one's waist where they belong. Other products unfortunately are "one size fits none," which puts the adjustors at shoulder level - where they can be very distracting to someone who is supposed to be looking at my face.
Summer is barathea braces time.

Very informative as usual, Will. Thanks.

Most RTW braces are neither made of boxcloth nor barathea, but of elastic. Is elasticity an advantage or a disandvantage for braces?

Nice post, Will. I watched the movie 'Charlie Wilson's War' last night, and the preponderance of characters wearing braces got me thinking. When I wore suits everyday I wore braces with them maybe 50% of the time. I rarely wear suits now, but when I do I wear a pair of J.Press striped braces.

Will, some tailors have suggested to me that trousers meant to be worn with braces should be high-waisted. Do you agree? Is there any reason not to wear braces with trousers at the natural waistline?

Rather than an American-British linguistics difference, I was under the impression that braces were fastened with buttons, while suspenders were the clip-on style.

I never wear belt when I am wearing a suit. But instead of braces I have in my trousers (on the waist) two things that help to make it thinner if necessary (I am afraid I do not know the name in English and I could not find any photo). Each of them is located in each part of the waist. It is quite popular and many times advised by European tailors (particularly for those whose are not that tall

El aristocráta, "side adjusters"?
Will, how can people see the metal through your jacket?! ;-)
Paul, unfortunately braces today, including Thurston's, are made for people of 6 ft upwards, and they're made for low-waisted trousers. That makes sense because most people are large(r than my 5' 8 1/2") and trousers are made to end at the hips unless you go bespoke, specifically tell your tailor and he both understands and believes you.
That means that even with adjustable or even made-to-measure braces, the Y-part in the back will be too high between your shoulders, so that the angle of the two parts that go over your shoulders is wrong and they bulge. This is especially annoying when you're wearing a well fitted jacket, as if there was a knot. - May 31, 2008 at 3:19:00 PM PDT
- El Aristócrata said...
Thanks Shaul-ike
There are like the ones in the photo. How correct are to use them instead of a belt or braces?
I got this photo.

Will will know this better, but I sh'd say they are primarily made to wear with braces, not with a belt and certainly not as an alternative to both.
When you wear braces, your trousers' waist should not show a gap nor be so tight that it keeps up on its own, because that would mean it's too tight when you move or sit down - a common problem with belts.
I think side adjusters are there to guarantee this close but comfortable fitting when you gain or lose a bit of volume, even in the course of a day. - June 2, 2008 at 3:07:00 AM PDT

I wear Thurston Braces all the time, my favourite being Boxcloths however i have a large selection of Barathea too. I also order my braces with black, brown, white etc differing runners (ends) thus eliminating the matching runner and shoes problem

"Eighty-five percent; I don't know what you call that in Union City, but in Jersey City we call that a good old fashioned ass kicking," said Hudson County Executive Tom DeGise, who showed up for Union City First's victory celebration Tuesday night. "I came to congratulate Union City. You have given the biggest mandate to the hardest working person in Union City and the state of New Jersey."
In Union City's form of government, there is a five-member Board of Commissioners, and one of those five is chosen mayor. Each commissioner also oversees a department, like public works and public safety.
The opposition
Soon after the polls closed at 8 p.m. Tuesday, numbers began to pour in at the various campaign headquarters, including those of Stack's opponents, an activist ticket called Youtiny.
Stack's ticket included three other incumbent commissioners - Tilo Rivas, Maryury Bombino, and Chris Irizarry - and Lucio Fernandez, who already works for the city.
The opposition consisted of activist and Little Ferry Schools Superintendent Frank Scarafile (hoping to become mayor), and his slate of four candidates, including former Commissioner Tina Yandolino.
One independent ran - outgoing Commissioner Luis Martin, who was not invited to run with Stack's ticket - and he got the lowest number of votes.
Time to party
By 9 p.m., the victors came through the doors of Schuetzen Park's Casino Ballroom to a crowd of screaming and excited supporters.
"Ladies and gentlemen ... we have a victory," shouted Superintendent of Schools Stanley Sanger.
The crowd roared in excitement and began chanting the names of the commissioners, who were embracing each other almost to the point of tears.
"This was a tremendous victory, 9,301 to 1,600," said Stack. "It speaks volumes of not only the work we put in every night, but that you worked; You!"
He added, "It also says something about the negative campaigning of our opponents. It doesn't work. The people of Union City are not stupid. When you are involved from your heart, no one can divide us. Union City people are the best. I love you all."
While Stack continued with the victory speeches a quick shout came from the audience reminding the mayor of a promise he made at the beginning of the campaign, if they were victorious: "Are you going to dance, mayor?"
Stack managed to do a little shuffle among the packed crowd, but will probably be relying on his newest commissioner, Lucio Fernandez, for dancing lessons.
"We kicked ass," screamed Fernandez. "This is the best mayor Union City has ever had! Your are the best, Union City!"
Hugging and kissing
"Right now I want to hug and kiss everyone of you that is here; the people of Union City are great people," said Stack. "I'm working with four exceptional individuals, and we are going to keep working hard for the people of Union City."
One by one, the commissioners came up to say a few works of thanks, and promise to continue working hard over the next four years.
"Is everybody happy?" asked Tilo Rivas. "This is your victory. Union City deserves the best."
"We've accomplished so much and we will do it four more years," said Maryury "Margie" Bombino.
Chris Irizarry said to the crowd, "What you have accomplished today sends a message to the city of Union City, to the county and to the state of New Jersey that we have the best mayor, the best politician, and the best person in Union City. Mayor forever!"
The numbers
The final tally of Tuesday night's voting results, not counting absentee and provisional ballots, had Stack with a total of 9,058; Rivas, 8,250; Bombino, 8,207; Irizarry, 8,424; and Fernandez, 8,254.
The candidates of Younity had Frank Scarafile receiving 1,647; Frank Alonzo, 1,633; Ernestine Yandolini, 1,643; Julio Fernandez, 1,610; and Deirdre Berry, 1,420.
Former Commissioner Luis Martin, who ran without a ticket, brought in the lowest number of votes with a total of 421.
Union City has about 28,673 registered voters, and only about 11,073, including absentee ballots, came out to vote in last Tuesday's municipal election. The city is also still waiting on the provisional votes of which there are approximately 170.
Meanwhile, elated supporters continued in their outpour of praise on Tuesday night.
"I would like to congratulate Mayor Brian Stack and all the commissioners," said Alex Suarez. "When all is said and done, the city has responded triumphantly to all he has done for our city including new schools, and all the construction and development going on in our city."
"This election proved everything and sends a very important message to those people who want to run in 2010," said Johnny Garces.
"Mientras que Brian respire que nadie mas aspire [While Brian is breathing, let no one else aspire]," said Barbara Cambon.
Next Tuesday, May 16, will be the swearing-in ceremony for, not only the Board of Commissioners, but for the new members of the Board of Education at the Jose Marti Middle School.
"We're going to have a nice party, I want everybody to be there," said Stack. "Who is going to teach me how to dance?"

Lets face it, confidence will never frame your face properly....a girl can't run her fingers through your confidence.
As of now I'm fairly optimistic about a cure in the near future so I really like when this section is updated. We should see before and after results of replicel in just a month or two from now. If we do not see good results from replicel then I'll be extremely discouraged about a cure coming any time soon.
Prepare to be discouraged then....

And you base that off of what?Originally Posted by uncomfortable man
Do you know anything about stem cells? do you know how much research has been done with them?
Once they master that, they will cure pretty much anything including baldness.
You may blame George Bush for the lack of progress recently...
You haven't been here long enough to get a realistic view on those things. It's not like we haven't believed/hoped for a cure and got excited when we heard about some new treatments/studies. There was a discussion about HM already in 2005 or so, and they didn't get much further since than.Originally Posted by 2020

Replicel is releasing (phase I ?) data sometime later this year. But their CEO did say that *IF* everything goes well and as planned, their hair stem cell regen product could be market ready in 2015, and no earlier - not even in Asia as some are speculating.
But he also said that his company will "entertain" the idea of selling it to Big Pharm/Big Bio in 2015, who will likely be the one to distribute the product to the market. So were talking at least 2016 ... maybe longer.
From what I have gathered recently, from various places on the web, the others: Follica, Histogen, Aderans, etc... are all starting to look like they're headed down the "failure path" and Replicel is now supposedly the ONLY one of the current HM projects that has any real chance of success. Those others are apparently starting to look to those who are following them closely like nothing more than 'experimental' at best, with little chance of success.
IDK about all this though, it could all be just a rumor.
Nothing in particular.
I don't think Histogen or Aderans are finished. Aderans's last results were quite promising and Histogen has begun Phase II trials in the Philippines. Their phase I results were quite good....would be great if they could bring out some form of treatment in the next couple of years, even if it wasn't a cure (which I doubt there ever will be). Even 15-20% growth in thinning areas would be good.
Absolutely no idea where Follica are now.
Is gazza gonna have a crack...? ..he is you know.. ..ohhh I say!!!
There WILL be a cure for baldness. Maybe it's 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200 years away but there WILL be a cure for sure.Originally Posted by dimitar_berbagod
