A local business owner is helping her friend fight cancer by raising money.
Dottie Rivers and Janice Sweatt have been friends for 26 years. When Sweatt was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma and ductal carcinoma in situ, commonly called breast cancer, in November 2012, Rivers travelled with her to the Cancer Treatment Center of America in Chicago for Sweatt's first consultation. There, Sweatt found out she would need a mastectomy of her left breast.
Rivers, the owner of Savvy Salon on East Broad Avenue (Business U.S. 74), is hosting "Cuts For A Cure For Jan." The fundraiser, which is on Jan. 7 and begins at 10 a.m., is dry haircuts only and will be for people of any age and gender. Dry haircuts are haircuts where the stylist does not wash the hair before cutting. The cuts are $12 for men and children and $15 for women. All proceeds will go to Sweatt.
According to the John Hopkins Medical website, Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), also known as infiltrating ductal carcinoma, is cancer that began growing in the duct and has invaded the fatty tissue of the breast outside of the duct. IDC is the most common form of breast cancer, representing 80 percent of all breast cancer diagnoses.
According to the Mayo Clinic website, ductal carcinoma in situ is one type of noninvasive (in situ) breast cancer. In situ breast cancer refers to cancer in which the cells have remained within their place of origin — they haven't spread to breast tissue around the duct or lobule. Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is considered a precancerous lesion. This means that if it were left in the body, DCIS could eventually develop into an invasive cancer.
Sweatt will travel to the Cancer Treatment Center of America in Chicago on Jan. 17 to undergo the mastectomy. She will be in Chicago for one week then travel back to North Carolina where she will be out of work for six weeks due to her surgery. During her recovery time, she will learn whether or not she needs chemotherapy. Sweatt will then have to travel to Chicago every two weeks for additional treatment. Once she is cancer free, she will have to travel to Chicago once a year for an annual checkup.
Sweatt works two jobs at two different car dealerships and although she has health insurance, her insurance only covers about 60 percent of her medical bills. Insurance does not cover travelling expenses, food, household bills, and other expenses she will occur.
"This is the highest form of compliment a friend can offer," Sweatt said about Rivers' efforts.

The Great Outdoors- The Dangers of the Sun
Everyone loves to get out in the sun and do their own thing; fishing, camping, hiking, swimming, cookouts and everything else that goes on in the summer. I wanted to write this article to make you aware of the dangers of having too much sun in your life.
The sun is great, but it can be your own worst enemy if you don't take the proper precautions, especially when there are kids involved.
Number one and the most obvious are sunburns. Sunburns can be very minor, and may only because you a slight irritation, but it can be very serious up to the point that you can have chills, fever, nausea and vomiting.
It can even get as bad as sun poisoning, shock and even death if you allow it to get bad.
Sun poisoning can be extremely dangerous but can most often be treated from the home. Symptoms of sun poisoning are as follows.
1. Skin Burning
2. Blisters
3. Headache
4. Dehydration
5. Electrolyte Imbalance
The body is such an amazing tool and somehow knows how to take care of itself the best way possible, but when it is abused by the sun it starts to break down and the effects can be very dangerous.
Be careful when you are out and about and you need to understand how your body is affected by the sun and the heat. Knowing how your body is reacting can be the difference between a great weekend at the lakes or one of the worst experiences of your life.
Protecting yourself against the sun is not difficult. Two very simple yet very effective measures involve limiting your time in the sun and protecting yourself adequately.
Understanding the sun and UV rays:
The UV rays of the sun are strongest and will do the most damage around mid-day from 10 am to 4 pm. Avoiding going outdoors during this time can limit the sun's damage. If staying indoors is unavoidable and you have to go out, you can still minimize the harmful effects of the UV rays by going out adequately protected.
This means wearing a hat and a pair of good sunglasses to protect the head area. A long sleeve shirt and long pants will keep your arms and legs protected and sunscreen lotion with a high SPF applied over your face and hands, will keep the exposed areas of the skin well protected.
While SPF 15 is effective enough for those who are dark skinned, if you are light skinned you will need a higher SPF.
Keep in mind that UV rays can pass through clouds and water too so you can get sunburn or sun poisoning, which is a more severe condition, even on cloudy days and even when you are in the water.
You need to understand the sun protection factor of the cream that you are using. All sunscreen lotions are rated based on an SPF number. Many people ask if you are using a 100 SPF sunscreen are you twice as protected as you would be if you were using a 50 SPF?
First you actually need to understand what SPF is. The SPF is the sun protection factor of the lotion; SPF refers to the ability to block the UV rays that cause sunburns on the body.
"It is a measure of the time it would take an individual to burn in the sun if they were not wearing sunscreen vs. the time it would take with sunscreen on"
According to WEBMD.Com :
SPF 15 product blocks about 94% of UVB rays, an SPF 30 product blocks 97% of UVB rays, and an SPF 45 product blocks about 98% of rays."After that, it just gets silly,"
Sunscreens with higher SPF ratings block slightly more UVB rays, but none offers 100% protection.
SPF 15 sunscreens are fine if used correctly, but he recommends SPF 30 products to his patients because few people apply sunscreens as heavily or as often as they should.
Opposite of sun burns you need to understand one other danger and that is heat exhaustion and heat stroke!
A heat stroke is when your body temperature is elevated to extreme levels. This is a true and extreme medical emergency. Signs and symptoms of a heat stroke include: increase body temperature, absence of sweating, hallucinations, rapid pulse, confusion, disorientation, seizures and in extreme cases, irreversible brain damage and coma.
My dad was a military trainer who trained soldiers who were going to go to the frontlines of war. ( we actually had to move to Columbus GA during Desert Storm so my dad could train soldiers for Desert Storm) There was one thing that he always told me about the heat and what he trained his soldiers to understand.
As long as you were sweating, you are ok. When you stop sweating that is the problem.
Meaning: Sweating is a way for you body to cool itself down, and when you stop sweating it means that your body is getting dehydrating and you are about to break down.
If you or anyone that you know comes to this situation you need to take drastic action to make sure that they are going to be okey dokey!
1. Get the water very slowly (don't flood them, it can reverse progress)
2. Cool their body (groin, stomach, head and feet)
So there you have it. The sun is extremely dangerous and I want to make sure that you and your family never have to experience any of this. If there is something that I missed, or something that has not been clearly explained, let me know in the comments section and I will address it IMMEDIATELY.
I want you have experiences with Indiana's Open Country that will make you and your family happy, I don't want you to experience these bad things.
Take care and enjoy your trips.

I started taking photos with my mother's old Nikon FE2 a number of years ago while living on a riverboat on the Amazon. I started going from there. I have changed styles and camera's overtime. Currently I primarily shoot with a HasseIblad 503CW and a Canon EOS-1 Mark II, although I still use the Nikon from time to time. I recently remembered why I love photography, and am trying to channel that and help my skills improve.

Heads of law enforcement agencies from throughout the state participated in the four-day conference. The Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police is responsible for the delivery of training to the chiefs of Georgia's police departments and law enforcement agencies.
The Summer Training Conference was held at the Savannah International Trade & Convention Center from July 22-July 25. This year's conference covered a variety of topics such as: "Myths and Realities of the Police Use of Force", "Current Changes in RSA and Other Employment Law", "Developing a Risk Management Approach in Criminal Justice Agencies", "Community Policing and Preventing Violent Extremism", "Below 100 Program", "Overview of State Agency Resources", "Review of Georgia House Bill 1176", and "The Current Threat Landscape."
Chief Jones, was among more than 495 heads of law enforcement agencies attending the 45th Annual Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police Summer Training Conference. In addition to the Chiefs attendance at the conference, a significant number of departmental command staff were also present to learn about training topics that will benefit their departments and communities.

This was seen off the South Bank trail.
It was white and flying high in the sky over the docent center.
Community beginning the mating season off Bird Island Trail at Point Lobos.
First sighting of two on rocks on the Bird Island Trail at Point Lobos. A pair usually nests on the same rocks in past years. No sign of nesting materials however at this time,may be too early.
This deer mouse was at the edge of the road near Whalers Cabin in Point Lobos. Since they are mostly nocturnal, I was surprised to see it. Perhaps it was sleepy or sick because it was a challenge to convince the mouse to move off the road.
It is about 4 inches long, 10.5cm. It is shiny dark grey with diamond shapes running down its back in a North-South direction, point to point.
Spikey leaves with stickers. Small yellow blooms on a stem that seems to be uncurling like the neck of a fiddle. Flowers are yellow and trumpet shaped with orange in the center. About 2-3 flowers on each fiddle neck. There are stickers on the fiddle neck.
Young, possibly female (?), medium sized. Gray overall with lighter gray underneath. It was lying on the beach, eyes closed, breathing heavily, and making random lour cries.

NEWTON GROVE — The question of approving a zoning change to allow modular housing was in question during the Newton Grove town meeting earlier this week. A request for the change was presented at the meeting last month and brought up again Tuesday night. It eventually won approval from the Newton Grove Board of Commissioners.
A request made by David Whitt and Diana Ivosic to approve a zoning change to allow modular homes in the town's residential zone was made at the August meeting. Questions arose in regards to the change and it was referred back to the zoning board for their recommendation. The zoning board did meet early in the week but did not have the needed quorum to approve the change.
Faye Lewis, zoning officer with the Council of Governments, told the board that due to the lack of a quorum, the zoning change was automatically approved and was now being presented to members for their OK.
"The zoning change would add modular home, single family dwelling, constructed in accordance with North Carolina building code standards for assembly on a permanent foundation under the town's zoning ordinance for residential district R-20 and would be a permitted use ordinance if approved by the town board," stated Lewis.
Commissioner Steve Jackson asked if the board had to approve the ordinance? "I am not against the change but I just want to make sure we are not opening a can of worms here," cited Jackson.
Several other board members offered similar concerns.
Board attorney Billy Sutton responded, "After reading the letter from the modular home industry's attorney, I am fairly certain that if we were pushed on this legal issue they would be successful in legal proceedings against the town for approval," expressed Sutton.
A modular home, as defined in the ordinance, is a dwelling unit constructed in accordance with the standards set for in the North Carolina State Building Code and composed of components substantially assembled in a manufacturing plant and transported to the building site for final assembly on a permanent foundation. Among other possibilities, a modular home may consist of two or more section transported to the site in a manner similar to a manufactured home (except that the modular home meets the North Carolina State Building Code), or a series of panels or room sections transported on a truck and erected or joined together on the site.
The commissioners concurred that they truly did not have much choice but to approve the zoning change, and the vote was unanimous.
In another matter before the board, the commissioners discussed the proposed ordinance regarding itinerant merchants. A number of questions came up with the wording in the proposal.
"There are several items that need to answered or addressed before we can make a final decision on this document," expressed Mayor Gerald Darden. "I ask that you, as a board, present me with your concerns and Commissioner Gary Herring and I will go back and make the needed adjustments for us to review at our next meeting. Hopefully we can have a decision on this matter before the first of the year."
The commissioners entered a closed door session to discuss a personnel matter but no action was taken following the session.

I was hoping that Spring v1.1 would have declaritive validation support as Keith Donald outlined in his blog back in April.
According to the JIRA roadmap it is scheduled for v1.2.
I would like to be able to declare validation rules somehow that match what and XML Schema defines. This included number ranges, matching against a list of values(enumeration), and a few others. I'm writing xsd2jibx (www.jibx.org) for Java/XML data binding. That it what I need to find some sort of validation form. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Any status on the declaritive validation support?

Health Information
The Bethesda System (TBS)
Topic Overview
The Bethesda system (TBS) of classifying Reference Pap tests Opens New Window was developed by the United States National Cancer Institute (NCI) to provide more detailed information about Pap test results. When lab specialists examine cervical cells, they use this system to report the lab results to doctors.
Your doctor receives the report from the lab. The report tells your doctor if the cell sample taken during the exam was good enough to be evaluated. It also lets your doctor know if the cells were normal or abnormal or if there was an infection present.
If the cells were abnormal, they are put in categories, or typed, based on how severe the problem is:
- Cells that show minor changes but the cause is unknown may be typed as ASC-US (atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance), ASC-H (atypical squamous cells that cannot exclude high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion), or AGC (atypical Reference glandular cells Opens New Window).
- Cells that show definite minor changes but aren't likely to become cancer may be typed as LSIL (low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions).
- Cell changes that are more severe and are more likely to become cancer may be typed as HSIL (high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions).

A Canadian man is accused of assaulting another man at Turning Stone Casino in Verona.
It happened around 3:10 a.m. Sunday morning.
State Police say 31-year-old Christopher Heywood, of Ontario, punched a 28-year-old Albany man in the face during a brief argument near the Oneida room on the casino property.
The victim suffered cuts to his face and was bleeding. He was treated at the scene, but refused to go to the hospital.
Heywood is charged with assault. He was arraigned in Verona Town Court and sent to the Oneida County Jail in lieu of $5,000 cash or bond and is scheduled to reappear in court on Tuesday.

In this week's issue, I have written several profile stories, which show off our local talent. Whether it is a local musician, sound engineer and actor Jeff Downey or global agriculture missionary, FFA advisor and Henry County High School's Vocational Agriculture teacher Lindsey Davie, Henry County continues to reveal hidden jewels within its hills and hollers.

Years ago, my 14-year-old daughter, Katherine, approached me for a loan. She had been babysitting and saving her money, but she still needed more. We agreed to the terms of the loan and then, I asked if I might know the reason. She announced that I had always told her if she had an idea not to give up on it. Whereupon she proceeded to tell me what her idea was and why she wanted a loan.

Remember when you were in grade school and the bell rang for recess? Do you remember how happy you were to escape the classroom and play outside with your friends? Well, folks, that's exactly the way it feels to be retired and live in Alaska during the summer months. Alaska, also known as the land of the midnight sun, becomes one gigantic playground with perfectly sane adults reverting back to childhood; our toys are just different from the toys of earlier years.
In this week's issue of the Henry County Local, I met with several business owners that were expanding their business or pursuing new avenues of revenue.
I also attended the Forecastle Festival in Louisville where more than 30,000 people attended for three days of music, art and activism. Not preachy activism, but practical means for sustainability in regards to local economies and the environment as a whole. I attended the Henry County Public School Board meeting where they are pursuing a program that integrates the Internet as a learning tool.
Sometimes I'm convinced that technology is more difficult that it's worth.
As reliant as we are on technology, particularly at the Local, to get the paper out each week, technology slaps us in the face a little.
Unfortunately, when technology quirks happen, it often shows in our finished product. And for that, we apologize to you, our readers.
In my job, I enjoy telling everyone's story. I consider storytelling to be a part of my responsibility — honoring the residents of the county.
Another necessary evil of my job is acting as a watchdog for the community: getting the correct facts and asking the tough questions. In my experience as your county reporter, I don't considerate that part of my job to be hard but an honor.
The most difficult part of my job is getting the city, county and publicly appointed state officials to return my phone calls.
As the Supreme Court prepares to rule on the health care law's constitutionality, the House continues to roll back provisions that hit health care consumers, companies and providers the hardest, while advancing new ideas to make health care options more flexible.
Last week, a bipartisan majority in the House approved the Health Care Cost Reduction Act of 2012. This bill strikes two harmful components of the health care law and adds a new provision to improve Flexible Spending Accounts.
When we ran out of excuses not to leave, we finally had to say goodbye to Henry County for another six months and head north to Alaska.
It was especially difficult to leave this year. Gardens were coming on, the fruit trees were bearing, and the fish in the Kentucky River kept calling our names. After being delayed two weeks due to automobile problems; we loaded up the vehicle and began our 4500 mile trip to North Pole, Alaska.
Last week, New Castle attorney, and preservationist, Joe Yates told us "Human beings need community. Small towns and neighborhoods in a big city provide a sense of that community.
A few years ago, my mother gave me one of my most prized possessions.
It wasn't a huge flat screen television or the latest iPhone. She gave me my grandparents' kitchen table.
It has a worn quartered ash top; two insertable leaves; thick scrolling legs. They had a dining room table that seemed much more elegant and contemporary, but it was only used for the overflow of family that was there on Christmas night. Otherwise, it sat in a separate room like a dainty showroom piece from the 70s.
Charm is defined as "attractiveness; the power to delight or attract people." In my opinion, that equates to a place called Henry County.
A couple of months ago my truck needed some mechanical repairs. I found an experienced mechanic to do the work. Following Ike I needed a new roof on my house. I sought out a qualified roofer to install the new roof.
That is the way most of us think. We want the most qualified doctor, lawyer, or electrician to do the things we need performed. We appreciate experience.
One of the major issues least talked about in the Henry County Circuit Court Clerk's race is our courthouse.
The Administrative Office of the Courts has declared that the Henry County courthouse is one of two in the state most in need of replacement. Our courthouse is also one of the oldest and most beautiful, built in 1877, and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
As a resident of Henry County, it is my pleasure to support Nick Hawkins as our next Circuit Court Clerk.
Nick is not only a great family man, but one the most active Henry County residents. He is very involved with our youth and extremely knowledgeable about the resources available. I am impressed with how quickly this young man has been able to establish himself in Henry County.
On behalf of Bill and his family, we want to thank everyone for helping make the benefit a success.
We would like to thank all of you who donated food, items for the silent auction and monetary contributions.
A very special thanks goes out to Fred Porter and Cropper Baptist Church for the use of their facility.
Last, but by no means least, to the Better Daze Band, Thomas Hood, and Shades of Pink for their awesome music, which was enjoyed by all.
The money raised was much needed and greatly appreciated by the Downey family.
Thank you for all of your support for the Henry County Senior Citizens Derby Eve Fundraiser.
To everyone who worked, came, or donated items, a big thank you. We had another successful year because of you.

In my profession, you never know where the thread of a story will take you.
I recently wrote stories on the lead mine in Lockport and the history of Defoe each with a fascinating legacy. In this week's issue, I looked into the origins of a sign that has been on a barn for more than 30 years.
For nine years, I have belonged to a dog named Gunner. Most people will tell you what type of dog they own, but I can say with absolute certainty that my dog, Gunner, rules my world. He is a 10-year-old rescued Alaskan Husky. At first, he was trembling and shaking so badly, it was hard for him to stand. He responded to touch by maintaining the classic cowed position. It was heartbreaking to see such a beautiful animal so afraid.

This week, the British Columbia provincial government announced some wine law reforms to continue to open things up and update laws, many of which date back to Prohibition.
It's one small step for the wine industry but is probably feeling like one giant leap for the Liquor board, but even small victories are welcome in this wine land where public and private co-mingle.
Among the reforms:
- Private liquor stores can now set up shop next door to government stores. Previously, there was a 1km minimum limit unless the general manager was willing to waive the rule.
- Independent wine stores and VQA wine stores are included in a category of wine stores that are now considered licensees. What does this mean, you ask? Basically, it makes everyone subject to the same regulator. Wholesale prices won't be affected, and no new licenses will be granted at least at this time.
- Breweries and distillers can now more freely operate tasting rooms.
- Small or mid sized wineries (and breweries and such) can now have a direct relationship with up to three retail establishments (e.g., bar, restaurant, private liquor store).
- And, last but definitely not least, the provincial government has appointed Herb Leroy as "Wine Envoy", tasking him with helping to open up interprovincial wine shipping laws. And it looks like Herb is quick to get going. At least he's updated his LinkedIn account to state Wine Envoy as his current job.
To get down to the nitty gritty and a sense of the ridiculousness posed when these laws were not yes passed, hop on over the Mark Hicken's Wine Law website.

"Downton Abbey" is wrapping another season chock-full of upstairs, downstairs drama. How will it end? The hit British import completed its third season in the UK last year, but it hasn't stopped a record number of American viewers from tuning in on PBS. The show is in more demand than ever, winning outstanding ensemble in a TV drama series at last month's Screen Actors Guild Awards.
With Sunday's finale, there are only 95 minutes left to answer the many questions on viewers' minds. Season three has been filled with startling revelations from the ever-dramatic Crawley family and the employees of their Yorkshire country estate.
Show creator Julian Fellowes made sure to pack in the first six episodes with as much plot development as there are characters -- from Mary and Matthew's wedding to the release of Mr. Bates from prison, from the birth of Sybil's first child (immediately followed by poor Sybil's shocking passing) to the financial hardships plaguing Downton.
CNN is counting down the top five questions we want answered in the third season's conclusion. PBS' official Masterpiece site promises both the flaring up of new romances and the unfolding of a new crisis on "Downton Abbey." Let's make some predictions, shall we?
1. Will Lady Mary finally get her heir?
Lady Mary was most recently seen opening up to husband Matthew about a surgery she had to ensure she would no longer have problems in the fertility department. With that sorted out, it's time for the handsome couple to get to work on creating an heir to the Downton kingdom.
But with the complications her younger sibling faced during childbirth in the back of her mind, will Mary hold off on having children? All seems well with the newlyweds, and everyone in the Crawley family is awaiting Mary's pregnancy, but nothing is ever as perfect as it appears in this home.
2. Is Tom already moving on from Sybil?
The finale takes place more than a year after Sybil's unexpected death, and widower Branson may be moving on to someone new. For viewers, it's only been a few weeks since losing the youngest Crawley daughter, and fans may not be ready for a new woman in Baby Sybbie's life.
Tom finally found his place in the Crawley family as he became manager of the Downton estate. But is he getting too comfortable already?

Despite the negative connotations this word has attracted in more recent times, this is historically a general term used in the Portsmouth dialect. It is in no way chavvy, save for the fact that most of the real Pomponians left in Portsmouth these days pretty much are chavs. A more endearing term is "mushty" or "mushdy", often rhymed with "cushdy", which expresses more of a friendly level of acquaintance.

Comment posted Argyll First endorse Michael Breslin in Dunoon vote by Integrity? Not in the CondemAll.
Dougie is correct and any argument made by Cllr Walsh along these lines is either demonstrating his ignorance and that of those supposed to be advising him or (and this is what I suspect) is a feeble attempt to score political points.
As much as A&B's financial work around the school closure left them open to criticism there is no way they are not fully aware of how revenue support is made up and the very small portion of it that might be subject to ring fencing. It is common knowledge in local government finance.
Put simply revenue support from central government has three main components.
1. Ring fenced grants (a very low percentage of overall support) which are awarded with fairly clear instructions about what they are to be used for and often tie in with more national policy. There used to be a lot more ring-fencing than there is now but it was reduced significantly when the Concordat was first introduced.
2. Non –domestic rates which need little explanation.
3. The general revenue grant – which is the big pot given to the Council to use as they deem appropriate. Out of that they have to pay for service delivery, servicing of debt etc etc (basically pay to operate)
Cllr Walsh has been in the game more than long enough to be aware of this and the corporate management team are aware of it too. Any claims that he didn't know are utter nonsense and suggest he feelt the electorate will just believe him because they don't know better.
Integrity? Not in the CondemAll also commented
- Good for her. It will be nice to see an independent councillor in an A&B administration actually be allowed to be independent without being thrown out of a party that doesn't officially exist!
- You may well be right David regarding the New Schools for the Future Grant. I believe this was matched funding of 50% and therefore the Council had committed 50% of non funded capital expenditure to the project (which could clearly either be used elsewhere or removed from the capital programme).
As I haven't see any award letter from the SG for this funding it is not possible to comment on what terms, conditions and restrictions were placed upon the SG's 50% award however that is something that councillor Walsh should have been asking officers to determine.
I am not sure what the timescales are but I notice there was a paper that went to full council on April 19th which discusses the Funding of Schools for Future Projects and the proposed school facilities in Dunoon and Campbeltown. It states in it that the SG 'have set out the key conditions and guidance for procuring bodies receiving revenue finance and the conditions and guidance have been accepted by the Council' It would therefore be interesting to see what these conditions and guidance were as we could then be in a better position to judge whether the SG were ringfencing a portion of the funding to the Dunoon project and the Dunoon project only.

- First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Not sure if I agree with putting fascism and Islam on the same shelf (as it were).
However interestingly, and a little ironically, if there is a massively generalised criticism of the Islamic faith it is its traditional resistance/opposition to multiculturalism – a criticism that could be made of UKIP with little difficulty. - Walsh to lead all but Lib Dems, Conservatives and George Freeman
'more honest and upfront'Really?
- First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
On the issue of accusing people of being fascists I, in a rare moment, agree with Malcolm due to the people in history who have, through their actions, defined the term (although its proper definition has doens't necessarily mean you need to be a mass murderer).It is a little bit of double standards though because in another post you refer to Farage as 'good old' yet he descibed the protesters as 'fascist thugs.' So an offensive remark by him in your eyes Malcolm?
- First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Using violence against it is obviously contradictory however it is often the action of very last resort. It is a good line by Arden although worth putting it in the context of the play it comes from which focuses on military deserters who are sickened by a war they are being forced to be a part of. Apartheid and the America civil rights movement is a very different context where years of suppression, violence, and some of the most heinous acts were committed on people for no other reason than bitter inbred prejudice. - First Minister's choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
The NIMBY, of all political persuasion, certainly isn't a rare bird however their existence in place A, or of persuasion B, doesn't detract from criticism of specific examples of it.I agree it is unsafe to use fringe views to represent a whole group and you make a fair point about the need for clarity in the overall 'cause'. For me though, UKIP cause it not clear and I don't see these issues as the views of a minority within the group, or a collection of rogue members.
Your point about Alex Salmond's potential reaction to similar treatment of one of his own party (or himself) is valid and is a point I made in an earlier post. At the risk of repeating myself (well not a risk as I am doing it!) I believe the best course of action would have been for him to openly state that he didn't approve of the actions of the crowd and, in the same statement, making it clear that the group was not representing either the SNP or the Scottish independence movement.I am sure he, as any of us would, be shaken by such an experience. The fact that there was no actual physical violence doesn't for a second mean anger/abuse at such close proximity is not hugely intimidating and a politician, irrespective of opinion, should be allowed to perform their role without being out in a position where they are fearful for their safety. Tony Blair would, almost definitely, face a similar reaction in certain places, as would a number of other politicians over the years. Like you I would argue that this is not the best way to express discontent. Only in a very small number of occasions would I condone taking protest to the point of physical intimidation and I reserve that to some of the most significant 'upheavals' in modern times (examples being the fight against apartheid and the civil rights movement in the US) – even then there would be a line I, personally, couldn't step over.
Drifting away from the point a little (although I must say it is refreshing to be debating something other than Scottish Independence or A&B Council!). My overall point is that I believe UKIP to be a party with an inherent bigotry at the core of it and this is clearly evidenced by the actions, statements, and affiliations of too many of its members for it to be brushed off as a the actions of a fringe minority. If the same number of statements (of the same nature) had been made by members of any of the mainstream parties (on both sides of the border) then they would face a far bigger backlash from the media and opposition supporters despite the actual percentage representation being far lower.

I hope it isn't blasphemous to refer to any nativity as a crappy nativity, but that's kind of what this one from the Dollar Store started out as...
The only way to save this little set is to spray paint it.
Prime the figurines, then paint with an Heirloom White. I like to add several layers of clear gloss too. It makes it look more like ceramic.
So yes, yes, I know this is a no-brainer of a little Christmas craft. (Can't even properly call this a tutorial.) However, I am over at Tatertots & Jello today, sharing a Christmas Craft FAIL that I was able to turn around and make into something pretty. Please stop by!

Marijuana legalization raises key questions
SEATTLE — People openly lit joints under the Space Needle as marijuana possession became legal under state law Thursday, the day a measure approved by voters to regulate marijuana like alcohol took effect.
It prompted midnight celebrations from pot activists who say the war on drugs has failed.
But as the dawn of legalization arrives, Washington and Colorado, where a similar law passed last month, now face complicated dilemmas: How do you go about creating a functioning legal-weed market? How do you ensure adults the freedom to use pot, while keeping it away from teenagers?
And will the Justice Department just stand by while the states issue licenses to the growers, processors and sellers of a substance that, under federal law, remains illegal?
"We're building this from the ground all the way up," said Brian Smith, spokesman for the Washington Liquor Control Board, which is charged with regulating the drug. "The initiative didn't just wave a magic wand and make everybody here an expert on marijuana."
The measures approved on Nov. 6 have two main facets. First, they OK the possession of up to an ounce of marijuana by adults over 21. That took effect Thursday in Washington, though it remains illegal — for now — to buy and sell pot.
In Colorado, where pot fans will also be able to grow their own plants, the law takes effect by Jan. 5.
The other part of the measures, the regulatory schemes, are trickier. Washington's Liquor Control Board, which has been regulating alcohol for 78 years, has a year to adopt rules for the industry: How many growers, processors and stores should there be in each county? Should there be limits on potency? How should the pot be inspected, packaged and labeled?
To help answer those questions, officials will turn to experts in the field — including police, public policy experts and some of the state's many purveyors of medical marijuana.
With legalization, officials need to look at measures successful in reducing teen drinking, said Derek Franklin, president of the Washington Association for Substance Abuse and Violence Prevention. That includes education about the risks of pot and driving while stoned. Continued...
"We're really going to need to get all hands on deck to sort through this," he said.
The marijuana will be taxed heavily, with revenues possibly reaching hundreds of millions of dollars a year for schools, health care, government services and drug prevention.
Unless, of course, the Justice Department has something to say about it.
Whether a state can regulate an illegal substance is another question. Many constitutional law scholars say the answer is no: Washington and Colorado's regulatory schemes obviously conflict with marijuana's prohibition in the federal Controlled Substances Act, and when state and federal laws conflict, the feds win out, they say.
So the Justice Department could likely sue to block the regulatory schemes. But will it?
The department has given no hints about its plans.

It was stated that at least 35 per cent of pre-school children should be immunized to insure against a serious outbreak of the disease. The department reported that there were 2,255 completed im-munizations last year which was 1,026 less than in 1939. There wore only 19 immunizations of persons more than 15 years of age. The department estimated tiiat there are 23,852 children of pre-school age in Nassau County. Sergeant "Walter F. Ramme, safety officer of the Third Precinct, Mineola, urges pedes-trians, especially those wlio are inclined to be heedless hurriers or jaywalkers, to sit down and refres'n their knowledge of the rudiments of safety. "People walking carelessly day after day are apt to forget—and this lapse may cost their lives," quoted Sergeant, Ramme. Sergeant Ranmie said that during 1940, 308 persons were killed crossing thoroughfares be-tween intersections. Another 106 victims stepped from behind cars. Of the children playing in the streets, 78 met death. Jc Amendola is Appomfed Cemm Tciker Mr. R'ayi-nnnd J.

Nassau County Defense Council Firms To Apply For Sabotage Urges Protection On June 2, Nassau County became the first county in New York State to avail itself of protection from saboteurs af-forxled ^ defense industries, fuel and power companies and public utilities by a recently enacted section of the penal code which makes trespassing on the prop-perty of these concerns a mis-demeanor, punishable by im-pri. sonment and fine. Notice tliat firms in Nassau County could qualify for the protection offered by the new l;\w, known as section 2042 of the penal code, was sent out on Monday under the direction of Inspector Ilai-old R. King of the Nassau County Police and t!ie Nassau County defense council, which, according to the law, must grant firms the authority to post necessary signs. The law, which became effec-tive on April 28, of this year, provides that . . persons or corporations, engaged, or prepar-ing to engage, in the manu-facture, transportation or stor-age of any product to be u.serl for defense or war of the United States, or any foreign govern-ment with which the United States maintains diplomatic rela-tions, and any persons or corporations engaged in the manufacture, transportation, dis-tribution or storage of gas, oil, coal, electricity or water, and anyone operating a public utility, a iy of whose properties are fenccd in either by a fence, wall or buildings, may petition a legally established NOAV York state council of defense lor authority to post around such property at each gate, entrance, dock or railway entrance (as well as every 100 feet of water front) a sign reading: "No Entry Without Permission," and upon the granting of such authority by such council, wlioever without the permission of such owner shall unlawfully enter upon such property, so posted, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by imprison-ment of not more than 10 days or fine of not more than $50. or both." E'nding what has been termed a weakness in the state law, the now section gives local police authority to make immediate arrests of trespassers and to hold them while investigating their records for possible subversive activities. Tlie announcement LU'ged firms which could (lualify under the at cnce for i)0rmissi0'i to post specification of the law to apply the necessary signs and for in-structions to be given to watc'n-men and guards in the event trespassers are iliscovered on posted property. A petition, in the approved form, was enclosed witli the announcement. It was pointed out that greater protection to the county's fimis qualifying under the law could be had if application for permis-sion to erect signs was made immediately by all concerned. The National C o n f e r e n ce Board, Inc., of 247 Park Avenue, New Y^ork, announced that more Americans were working last year than ever before, and the first three months of 1941 indicate an even greater employ-ment ratio. During last April alone the boai'd recorded an unemployment drop of 705,000 cutting the national figure to 5,412,000. Allowances were made for the 2,271,000 persons on Government emei^gency payrolls. Nearly all large industries reported em-ployment gains.

I think you all must have noticed that brand new powerballs do not spin as easy as used ones. While using those new powerballs you get the feeling that the rotor slips internally at higher speed. But now I have the following questions:
1) How long may this reduced performance last?
2) What should I do to reduce this time to the minimum? Should I do lot's of endurance runs with it? Or should I do many speed attempts with it?
================================================== =======
Another thing I noticed is that most powerballs have a preferred spinning direction. Let me explain this a little bit. You can always start the powerball in two opposite directions (directions A and B).
Now, for example if I spin the powerball into direction A, then this means that the powerball is fast for my left hand (spinning anti-clockwise). And if I spin the powerball (rotating in direction A) using the right hand the powerball is slower.
And if I spin the powerball into direction B, then this means that the powerball is fast for my right hand (spinning clock-wise). And if I spin the powerball (rotating in direction B) using the left hand the powerball is slower.
Did anybody ever experience this? Let me be clear, the difference between the preferred and non-preferred direction of a powerball differs quite a bit. In somes case it even seems to be absent, but in some other cases the difference can be over 1500rpm!!

As I have been talking to voters I came across one that expressed concern about the current gridlock in Washington. There have been times where the country would have been better off with gridlock in Congress. Clearly 2009-2011 was one of those periods of time, much of what was done then has made things worse and prevented a better recovery. Going forward if we continue on the current path and trends, we will face a debt crisis. So clearly we can't afford more gridlock on the issue of spending reform. The question is how our vote will affect this dynamic. To understand our options we should look at what might happen this year from a strong Democratic Wave to another strong Republican Wave.
A strong Democratic election, I would define as at least coming close to taking the house, holding the Senate, and President Obama wins. I see no point in trying to analyze this possibility as there is no chance of this happening. A few months ago I saw forecast for the house elections showing anywhere from 7 seat gain for Democrats to a 15 seat gain for Republicans. Not much has changed so it is clear we will have a strongly Republican House.
This leads to the more likely possibility of a moderate Democratic year. This would mean Democrats make small gains in the house, Democratic control of the Senate, and President Obama wins re-election. This would lead to worse gridlock than we have today. I say this because the GOP can't go along with any proposals Obama has made since they all make things worse. Obama basically told an Univision reporter he can't be counted on to do anything if he has to work with any Republicans. In addition Obama will be more intransigent if he does not have to face re-election. The only thing to hold him back would be concern for his party, but he has made that clear he only cares about himself and his agenda, so that will mean nothing.
I think the most likely possibility is a moderate Republican year. Given the decisive advantage in the house this could mean only a small change +/-10 seats for that body. This would mean small gains in the Senate either barely controlling or just out of control. Of course this would mean a Romney victory. This would likely end the gridlock for many issues. This is true for three reasons. First many moderate Democrats in the Senate know they need to deal with issues to avoid a debt crisis, but they can't voice this ahead of the election. To confront reality now, would be to admit failure of their ideas and to admit the two major pieces of legislation they passed, Stimulus and Obamacare, were incredibly irresponsible. The second reason is that we would have leadership for the first time in years in the White House. The final reason is replacing a rigid ideologue like Obama with a moderate like Romney gives a chance to find solutions in divided government.
The last possibility is a strong Republican year. Again given the already decisive margin in the house this could mean anywhere from a 0-15 seat gain. In the Senate it would mean getting to 53 or more GOP Senators. Obviously this would include a Romney victory. This case would completely end the gridlock for the reasons listed in the last section. In addition Washington will have been sent a strong message that the people are ahead of the politicians and we want them to act like adults. They will get the message to take the debt, economy, saving Medicare, and saving Social Security seriously. Democrats will still fight battles on key issues to them, but there will be enough moderate Democrats who care more about saving the country than furthering a failed progressive agenda to make significant progress. Clearly this would be the best outcome for the country to have a chance to confront our issues head on.
We may disagree on what needs to be done, but it is clear only a Romney victory leads to hope of ending the current gridlock and hope of avoiding a debt crisis. As was clear in the debate Romney is the only candidate that is a proven leader and the only one who has shown he can work with any opposition. The best way to end gridlock would be for one party to get smacked hard. The only chance to do that is for another strong Republican year. So if gridlock is your concern you should vote for Romney for President and Thompson for Senate. As a side note on our Senate race, since Tammy Baldwin is the most extreme member of the house, she would have trouble working with any reasonable person. We saw this in the Senate debate were all the examples she gave of working with GOP were to increase spending, increasing spending does not require much compromise for a extreme liberal. Thompson being a moderate would be able to work with both parties to get things done. Democrats may be slow on the uptake as shown by not taking the Scott Brown hint, and moving further left after the 2010 GOP tsunami, but I think they would get the message if they lose at least 6 Senate seats and the Presidency.

In 2008, President Barack Obama won the independent vote over John McCain by a margin of eight points, 52-44. This morning, a new Battleground Poll has Mitt Romney massacring Obama among indies by a whopping 16 points, 51-35.

Penny your numbers are just as dysfunctional as your brother Bryant's comment. Both are transparent in obvious errors. Enuf said.. Pfffttt.
2:25 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
I don't disagree that a supermajority would ensure partisan legislation is pushed through, but the question has to be asked, what's more important--partisanship or what's best for the entire country? I'd definitely support Romney/Ryan-Rand if what they were offering would move our country forward. Bringing back Bush-era advisers, writing off 47% of the population as moochers, insulting overseas friends, budget plans that don't add up, defunding Planned Parenthood, government broadcasting etc., etc., are not what I'd consider adding forward momentum. Quite the reverse.
And H.E., they didn't poll this "indie." ; )

Sorry, that should have read "public broadcasting." My mistake for the month (that's what happens occasionally when I simultaneously read a report, type a comment, and carry on a conversation. I also see a grammatical error where I changed direction and forgot to go back and revise tense. Oops!) ; )
3:25 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
Interesting that you corrected yourself. If it isn't 'government' broadcasting, then perhaps the government shouldn't be funding it...
3:36 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
Since you were confused, I agree it's better to use the term and call letters that everyone knows, Public Broadcasting System. I should initially have done a better job in conveying my point.
As an apology gift, here's the article that initiated the discussion that led to the fog of unclarity: http://gazettextra.com/weblogs/latest-news/2012/oct/08/walker-subpoenaed-former-staffers-trial/

@Bren 'my mistake for the month?' How about when you deleted everyone's comments because you had made another mistake?
7:13 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
Why did you present it? Because you thought I was confused by your 'mistake', you felt the need to post something totally unrelated to our discussion? What were you hoping to accomplish by that?

Bren Spot on. Democrat already have the Executive Branch and the Senate now all they require is the House to put it all in.
Noticed Romney's blip from the debate is evaporating already. Soon will be a dip. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/10/07/oct-7-national-polls-show-signs-of-settling/

Obama insulted ALL of our overseas friends, now even israeli doesn't like us. Thanks Obama!
He bowed and pandered to every muslim king he could find. To the contrary, they hate us even more and what's worse, see us as weak.
Obama is weak, and a liberal coward. America is not.

Cow Dung and his merry entourage of flies are so focused on the those little nuggets. They want us to focus on old regurgitated rhetoric and or their decaying red herrings.
Lets just see one example of where the republicans are indicating they want to go. {No Surprise Here} Mittens wants to increase "spending" to the Pentagon by $ 2 Trillion. HMMM They are overly budgeted as it is! Why more.
OUTSOURCING! Yes sir reee bub. Thunder on the Horizon. Soon we will be able to outsource our children to foreign soils. Once again and again and again. it's the republican way
http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/oct/05/barack-obama/obama-says-romney-would-spend-2-trilllion-military/ Obama states Romney will raise Pentagon budget by $2 Trillion! True
"You don't need no ticket you just get on board"
5:23 pm on Monday, October 8, 2012
Almost as many "factual" issues in Bryant's latest drivel as in Romney's debate performance! First - without the clear and decisive action taken at the outset of the Obama presidency - from the stimulus package to saving the auto industry - this country would currently be in the same double-dip recession that our austerity-adopting friends in Europe are in. Second - If Congress had adopted the Jobs Act that Obama proposed a year ago, unemployment would be another point lower than it is now. "Gridlock" (in this case, Republican Obstructionism) has slowed the recovery in a concerted (and not exactly covert) effort on the part of the Republicans to harm Obama's chances at re-election.
The biggest laugh in this article, though, is the idea that Republican "leadership" would be GOOD for the country. I know that Bryant just fell off the turnip truck on Jan. 21, 2009, but MOST of us were alive and conscious during the period of time between 2001 and 2009. A time when budget surpluses became a $1.4T deficit. A time period during which virtually NO jobs were created. A time when we entered in to two separate unfunded wars, and refused to account for the cost of those wars in the budget. Oh, and a time when Republicans controlled the House, and effectively controlled the Senate, for almost the entire period. THAT is what you suggest people should hope for?!?

Agree with ya Bert; I'll just add on what all that resulted in. Stormy weather.
Cost increases in financing markets due to laissez-faire polices of the Bush administration. {DEREGULATIONS} !
Hedge funds are speculative , are held accredited by affluent investors. Exempt from many of the public disclosures and requirements of federal securities law. Virtually non-entity prior to 2001. Bush administration hedge funds exploded from $250 Billion enterprise, to a $2.5 Trillion enterprise. Lax enforcement of SEC regulations allowed "naked short selling" which makes its profit off the Main Street investors. Buy low sell high standard investors philosophy to the markets. Hedge fund with their vast reserves of liquidity could manipulate the prices to markets with no chances of lost. Make a share drop for short sales profits and rise for harvesting profits. Using other people's monies! Christopher Cox SEC chairman looked the other way. Small businesses suffered. They lost the consumers confidence. Driving some into bankruptcy and disseminated the average retail investors.
Volatility contributed to tumultuous finish to Bush administration. 2008 with reckless policies and omissions,
Bush entered office with DOW at 10,587; left office with the Dow at 7,949 producing a negative market loss through out his tenure. Last 17 months stock markets experienced an historical loss of 58%! This was worst than any 17month rolling cycle of the Great Depression.

Obama's attempt this week to recast himself as some kind of budget-cutter is laughable if it weren't so cynical and calculated to fool people who are not paying attention. I could try to analyze it, but Cato has done it well already. Although I recommend reading the whole article [2] in full, here's a good bit:
it's only down in the fifth paragraph where the [New York] Times notes that "The estimated $250 billion in savings over 10 years would be less than 3 percent of the roughly $9 trillion in additional deficits the government is expected to accumulate over that time."
The way this stuff is reported is downright criminal. Author Jason Kuznicki points out:
Spending increases that were planned all along aren't considered increases at all and do not make the news. Unplanned increases, those over and above the planned ones, are reported as though only the unplanned parts were increases. Large spending increases get extra praise for boldness. Reductions in the rate of spending growth are called "spending cuts." Real though tiny cuts are described as draconian measures.
I remember the howls of protest when Reagan merely slowed the rate of spending growth. And here is Obama raising spending by $9 trillion and then announcing cuts of a mere $250 billion--pure Alinsky.
To put the numbers in perspective, that's $250 billion out of $9,000 billion. (Yes, a trillion is a thousand billion) And today, Reuters reports [3]:
U.S. President Barack Obama will freeze the salaries of senior White House officials and other top political appointees for savings of $4 million in fiscal 2011, a senior administration official said on Tuesday.
This is likely to be mentioned in the State of the Union address. Really? The largest, most expensive White House staff in history and he's going to save $4 million? That's such a small number as a fraction of the budget my calculator can't even figure the fraction without using scientific notation.
