Jumping on The Big Purse Dump bandwagon, hosted by Catholic All Year. Because I know you're all dying to know what's inside my purse today. No? I'll continue anyway…
My husband refers to my purse as "the black hole." It doesn't matter if I'm using a wristlet or a huge bag, I always have to dig for things.
My current purse (pictured above) is a fabulous bag gifted to me by my awesome in-laws. I'm loving the funky snake skin pattern, the long and short handles, and the width. It fits perfectly on my lap without hanging over on the sides like some of my larger bags, which is great for being out to lunch and not wanting to have your purse hanging on the back of your chair for all to see/access.
What's inside?
1) iPad Mini & Headphones: The iPad Mini is my lifeline for work. I use it constantly, and I love the way it fits in most of my purses unlike the bigger iPad. The headphones were a Christmas gift from Mark a few years ago. He chose that pair because the insides of my ears are tiny and these were some of the only ones that fit. (I've been looking for those category goes to the headphones.)
2) Wallet: Where I keep my 9,000 loyalty cards, but never any cash.
3) Mini Deck of Cards: Because you never know when you'll accidentally board the quiet car on the train with a 7 year old and need to keep her occupied. (Happened with my baby sis and they came in so handy!) Also, Mark and I have been playing a game of Rummy since April of 2003, so I like to have cards on me in case we get a chance to play. We're nearing 14,000 points each, and our goal is to make it to one million before we leave this earth.
4) Decaf Green Tea: I gave up caffeine a while back for health reasons, and this tea has seen me through some very cold days this winter. Sometimes I just want something warm to hold and drink! (Wow, I really have a lot of these category goes to the tea. I only pictured one, but there were lots.)
5) Hand Lotion: This stuff works. My hands go from cracked and bleeding to a-ok after just a few applications.
6) Mini Composition Notebook: My Aunt Sandy gave me this to jot ideas down for my sisters bridal shower last year, and I keep it in my purse because I think it is adorable. All things mini are my fav.
7) The bag within the bag: This is where I hide things I don't want floating around loosely in my purse. Right now it contains: tissue, eye drops, feminine products, Altoids, nail file, bobby pins, hair tie, oil blotting sheets, toothbrush, travel-size perfume, lipstick, Advil, Sudafed, and Cold-Eeze. (Huh, THAT shouldn't be in there goes to all of the bobby pins. I very rarely use them, and there were a ton!)
8) Treasury of Prayer Book: My sister Gabrielle gave this to me a few Christmases ago. I keep it in my purse and pull it out when I need to pray, but I can't find the right words.
9) Rosary: Mark gave me this wooden rosary for Christmas a while back. It's beautiful, and I keep it in the little pouch it came in so it doesn't get tangled up with everything else. (It's my favorite thing in here category goes to the rosary.)
10) Hairbrush: Really old, probably enough hair in that bad boy to knit a sweater. But hey, it still works.
11) Business Card Holder: For meeting strangers at networking events. It gives me something to do with my hands while trying not to be super awkward. Those types of events are not my cup of tea.
Not pictured: Receipts galore. Phone. (I use my phone as a camera, so I couldn't take a picture of my phone with my phone.)

Assembly Tory leader Nick Bourne yesterday accused Rhodri Morgan of delivering cheap plonk to the people of Wales instead of the champagne he promised. Martin Shipton assesses Mr Morgan's performance during his four years at the helm of the National Assembly, giving him marks out of 10
AT A GATHERING of journalists to commemorate his four years in charge of the National Assembly, Rhodri Morgan disclosed for the first time yesterday how he had almost failed to deliver an important speech immediately after getting the top job.
Fifteen minutes before he was due to deliver a morale-boosting address to hundreds of civil servants, he developed a serious headache and thought he would have to pull out. But after a cup of tea, an aspirin and 10 minutes' sleep, the new First Secretary (as he was known initially) felt great and was able to deliver what he himself described as one of the best speeches of his life.
In telling this anecdote - and others in the same vein - Mr Morgan was at his natural best, showing the human face which made him the choice of Labour's grassroots when the party needed a new Welsh leader after Ron Davies's resignation. He makes a virtue out of his approachability and, unlike many politicians, actually enjoys his contact with ordinary people.
The apparent frequency of his trips abroad has been criticised, but Mr Morgan always makes the point that he is helping to raise the international profile of Wales, a fact confirmed by Peter Hain when he was a Minister at the Foreign Office and saw diplomatic reports from ambassadors lavishing praise on the First Minister for his ability to charm.
A less flattering interpretation of Mr Morgan's fondness for travel would be that it gives him a break from the awkward questions he sometimes faces at home. On a foreign trip, a senior politician is treated as an honoured guest, his audience is almost always polite, and he can easily make a positive impression by speaking in well-constructed generalities. Margaret Thatcher went down this route and Tony Blairhas too.
Yesterday, Mr Morgan said his proudest achievement was reducing unemployment to the point where he was last week able to discuss the prospects for full employment with the director general of the CBI. Those who believe the Assembly is seriously lacking in powers may perhaps be surprised to hear the First Minister making such a claim. He has no fiscal tools at his disposal and the real strength of the Welsh economy is a matter of continuing debate.
As a number of Welsh Labour MPs have said in recent months, the Assembly's main challenge is in public service delivery. The most notable failure is over hospital waiting lists, which remain the longest in western Europe. Mr Morgan admitted the NHS nut was harder to crack than he had expected, but spoke of long-term solutions rather than short-term cuts in waiting times. English hospitals have been able to make much more progress in reducing the lists than those in Wales, and for as long as this situation continues the Assembly as an institution is unlikely to attract greater affection. Most people still do not distinguish between the institution and the administration.
When asked yesterday why the promised bonfire of the quangos had not occurred as promised during the devolution referendum, Mr Morgan said he had been reluctant to engage in too much "institutional churn". But surely that is precisely what he allowed his own health minister, Jane Hutt, do with the health service. Instead of concentrating on the core problems of the NHS, Ms Hutt made her top priority the scrapping of health authorities and their replacement by an unwieldy network of local health boards and liaison committees. Despite widespread speculation that she would be sacked because of lengthening waiting lists, Ms Hutt remains in post nearly five years after she was appointed by Alun Michael. When asked why he doesn't take a more proactive stance towards his Ministers, Mr Morgan says you don't have a dog and bark yourself. But critics say that while Ministers must of course be allowed to get on with their jobs, there is the need for coherence and guidance. And such coherence and guidance can only be provided by the First Minister.
Last November former Welsh Secretary Ron Davies, who used to be Mr Morgan's boss on the opposition front bench in Westminster, attacked his ex-colleague's administration during a speech at Aberystwyth.
Yesterday he said, "There is a general lack of direction and coherence in Rhodri's leadership together with a number of big issues ranging from the continuing problems with the new Assembly building to the complete failure of Objective One to deliver outcomes, the abandonment of sustainable development as an applied principle and the failure to control people in his Cabinet like Edwina Hart and Andrew Davies."
Last month The Western Mail revealed that Social Justice Minister Mrs Hart had pressured Assembly officials to remove a well-respected civil servant from his job and replace him with an individual of her nomination. She has received Mr Morgan's backing.

Reports from Ha'aretz and Times of Israel, bringing out different points.
Hebrew University, Jerusalem – number of faculty members now one sixth lower than it was 40 years ago despite large increase in students.
Israel has worst rate of brain drain in West, study shows
For every 100 faculty members at Israeli universities living in Israel in 2008, 29 were working at American universities. – compared to four years ago, when there were 25 Israeli academics working in the United States for every 100 in Israel.

Israel's higher education system is deteriorating and well-educated Israelis are fleeing abroad, according to a report recently published by the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel.
The emigration rate of Israeli researchers is now the highest among Western countries, according to the study.
It said that over the past 40 years, nationwide expenditure per student has plummeted, along with the number of senior faculty members at Israeli universities. The universities have, in turn, employed an increasing amount of adjunct lecturers and junior faculty members.
For every 100 faculty members at Israeli universities living in Israel in 2008, 29 were working at American universities. That was an increase over the figures just four years earlier, when there were 25 Israeli academics working in the United States for every 100 in Israel.
"After establishing several world-leading research universities, Israel underwent a dramatic about-face," wrote the Taub Center executive director, economist Dan Ben-David, in the report. "Over the course of the last four decades, the place of research universities has consistently fallen lower down the priority scale."
Most researchers who leave Israel move to the United States, according to the report.
The prevalent view in academia is that the situation in the universities began deteriorating between 2002 and 2010 (in what is called "the lost decade"), during which the funds earmarked for higher education declined while the number of students grew. However, Ben-David argues that the "lost decade" was really four decades long.
"The higher education system had already dropped down on the government's list of priorities at the end of the 1970s," writes Ben-David.
According to the report, in 1973 there were 131 senior faculty members for every 100,000 Israelis. By 2011 the ratio had declined by 53%, to 62 senior faculty members.
During the same period, the number of students pursuing higher education increased more than 400%, while the number of teaching staff at colleges and universities rose just 40%.
At two of Israel's top universities, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Tel Aviv University, the number of faculty members today is less than it was four decades ago, having dropped 17% and 26%, respectively.
Despite the rise in the standard of living, public expenditure for higher education has dropped from NIS 82,400 per student in 1979 to NIS 26,500 per student in 2011.
In the past three years, the planning and budgeting committee of the government's Council for Higher Education has increased funding for the universities. In addition, a committee aimed at finding ways to keep Israeli researchers in the country has increased the number of senior faculty positions open at universities and found a way for a small number of top faculty members to receive salaries and research grants that are higher than the norm in the country.
But Ben-David questioned why these changes are so limited, rather than becoming "a fundamental component in a comprehensive reform of the university system in Israel."
Study shows 'further deterioration' of Israeli universities
Despite becoming wealthier, nation is not investing in higher education as top priority, researcher says
By Spencer Ho, Times of Israel
October 08, 2013
Israel's universities are continuing to deteriorate and are not investing in reversing that trend, according to a new study released by an Israeli research institute Monday, just a week before Israeli universities begin the new academic year.
"Over the past four decades, a much wealthier Israel with much greater budgetary capacity than in the 1950s and 1960s has steadily neglected its world-class academic institutions – and it has been increasingly jeopardizing its future that is so dependent on Israel remaining at the cutting edge," Prof. Dan Ben-David, executive director of the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies in Israel, said in a statement.
"It is not too late to change direction, but that means that Israel needs to rethink its national priorities and return them to the path of its first decades – the path that eventually enabled the country to become the 'start-up nation' that Israel needs to remain if it is to survive in its very hostile neighborhood."
The study, which is part of the Taub Center's forthcoming "State of the Nation Report 2013," is an update of Ben-David's previous research on the subject in 2008.
Some key statistics indicating the decline of the universities include a drop in senior faculty positions at top universities, an increase in the ratio of students to professors and the number of Israeli professors working in the US rather than in Israel.
The actual situation is actually more damning than the numbers show, according to Ben-David.
"The situation is considerably worse than reflected in these numbers when it comes to the issue of relaying state-of-the-art findings to the next generation of researchers – who are today's graduate students," he said.
In perhaps the most disturbing trend revealed in the study, Israeli universities seem to be choosing to save money by outsourcing rather than investing in quality, long-term educators. In 1986, 13 percent of the senior research faculty was made up of external teachers, but by 2010 that number had risen to 46%, according to the study.
"This low cost solution to the public's declining interest in funding research universities has had two important negative ramifications," Ben-David said. "The first is the declining quality of instruction that students are receiving from individuals not actively engaged in cutting-edge research. The second is that many of these individuals may have intended to proceed along the research route, but the increasing lack of tenure and tenure-track positions in Israel's research universities – relative to available graduates – has caused many to either drop out of the research path or to find research positions abroad."
The study showed that since 1977, Israel's population increased by 133%, its student population at research universities by 157% and its overall higher education population by 428%. However, the number of senior faculty had only risen by 9% in research universities and only 40% in all colleges and universities. The ratio of students to senior faculty more than doubled from 12.6:1 to 26.1:1 between 1977 and 2010.
At the nation's top universities, the numbers painted an even bleaker picture. Hebrew University experienced a 17% drop in faculty positions from 1973 to 2010, and Tel Aviv and the Technion (Haifa) have 26% fewer positions.
One cause for these drops is the migration of Israeli academics to the US, according to the study.
"Israel's academic brain drain to the United States is unparalleled, with 29 Israeli scholars in the US for every 100 remaining at home in 2008 (the most recent data available), an increase from the 25 per 100 in the US just four years earlier," the study states. "This is several orders of magnitude more than the 1.1 Japanese or the 3.4 French scholars for each 100 remaining in their respective home countries."
Notes and links
See also THE START-UP NATION'S THREAT FROM WITHIN by Dan Ben-David (pdf)
Policy Paper No. 2012.04
"In a nutshell, this is the iceberg: a very large proportion – a proportion that is steadily increasing – of Israel's population is not receiving either the tools or the conditions to work in a modern economy. As a result, the country has extraordinarily high rates of poverty and income inequality compared to other Western countries, and compared to itself in the past.
"In addition, there is a shrinking share of the population that is capable of assimilating new technologies and ideas and developing them further. Such a capability is a necessary condition for the productivity increases essential for expanding economic growth and moving Israel onto a new long-run growth trajectory that would reduce the differences in living standards between it and the leading economies."
Income Inequality in Israel
Policy Paper No. 2011.05
Author: Ayal Kimhi,
Policy Program Paper
2 Oct 2011
"Israel is one of the least equal countries in the Western world. Part of the responsibility for this lies with the government's welfare policy, but most existing income inequalities stem from disparities in employment, work hours and wages. Wage gaps in Israel are higher than in any other developed country and are particularly evident where worker educational levels differ. Over the past decade the average Israeli worker's educational level has risen greatly while at the same time, demand for educated workers has grown even faster, leading to the continued widening of wage gaps. Policies aimed at narrowing socioeconomic disparities in Israel should, in the short term, promote employment and provide income support to low-wage earners. In order to succeed in the long term, though, policies should upgrade the skills of the future generations of workers, and minimize the skill gaps. For this to happen, it is not enough to increase the number of years of schooling, the percentage of those eligible for matriculation certificates, or the percentage of those with academic degrees. It is also necessary to upgrade the curricula and the level of training provided by educational institutions."

Previously on "Spanking Samantha":
Bill Parker knows he'd better get to Ginger before his furious wife does. The search is futile. Ginger has left work to wangle a solidarity pact with Heather; there will be hell to pay if her sister finds out about the Spanking Samantha story in the bar.
The story was a hoax! Ginger was just playing out her resentment toward her privileged older sibling. Heather agrees to cover for Ginger, but – since it's really Ginger's problem and Ginger thinks spankings are so amusing – Ginger must pay for her charade. What might have been a few taps on the tush turns into much more. Ginger's whiny excuse pushes Heather's hot button: gender politics. Heather – by now, it is Ms. Conway – brings Ginger to prolonged sobbing with a slotted kitchen spoon and a tongue-lashing. After consoling Ginger, Heather points to her lap. Ginger assumes the position without protest. When it's over, Ginger goes home to clean up and talk to Samantha.
AUTHOR: Let's meet our players. Ladies, thank you for joining me in the studio. Please tell us a little bit about yourselves and share your thoughts about how it's going so far.
ELLIE: Well, it's starting to get more interesting. I like the plot twists, and I really liked the part where Heather dragged Ginger into the kitchen and back.
HEATHER: Thank you.
ELLIE: I thought that scene in the bar back in Chapter 1 was just a little too cute.
MOLLY: Right! Did I really have to gulp my martini and gush about that waiter's ass? I don't think that added anything. And that remark about Samantha's tush not being my type? Please! I mean, unless you're trying to foreshadow a lesbian scene…
YOLANDA: Oh, no! I ain't eatin' no pussy!
MOLLY: …or it's just gonna turn into a round robin of everybody spanking everybody else.
YOLANDA: And I ain't gonna take a spanking either! No sir! I got my ass whupped plenty when I was a little girl, and I ain't gettin' it whupped again. You want me to talk about a spanking, or watch a spanking, or give a spanking, that's fine. No pussy and no gettin' hauled across some fool's lap. And while we're at it, let's cut this Black English shit. I got a motherfuckin' Master's Degree.
MOLLY: You go! Making us up so you can work out your little erotic fantasies is one thing, but there's no need to employ stereotyping just to avoid meaningful character development. Hey, we've already got Samantha and Bill as the uptight country club Republicans! And Heather can't hold her liquor 'cause she's Irish…
HEATHER: Actually, Rick's Irish. I'm not.
MOLLY: Well, okay, but what's next? Do I have to practically castrate some new boyfriend with nagging and guilt just because my name is Molly Roth and I'm Jewish? Get my panties yanked down 'cause I won't shut up about the cleaning lady? Have some squicky holocaust domination fantasy? I mean, what does being Jewish or black or Irish have to do with anything anyway?
HEATHER: I'm not Irish. I'm a feminist, in a weird kind of way. Liberated, they used to call it.
MOLLY: Same thing. This is a spanking website, and the people reading it are interested in spankings and childhood baggage and power transfers.
ELLIE: And sex!
HEATHER: Right. Erotic spankings.
AUTHOR: Gotcha. No stereotypes. You're absolutely right. The dialect thing was just a lapse. This is a live segment, and I don't get to edit my thoughts. Just spanking! Anything else?
ELLIE: Well, I'd like a bigger part. I've only had one line so far.
HEATHER: Well, we can fix that. You wanna stop by my place afterwards?
GINGER: Yeah, I was a little bothered that those high school girls had to get a peek at my pussy when Heather was dragging me out to the living room.
YOLANDA: Mm-hmm. I thought so, too.
AUTHOR: Well, I understand that, but I wanted to touch on all the feelings of shame that so many people associate with spanking.
GINGER: Okay, but I already had to peel off my panties and display my rear end for a spanking. That's humiliating! Not to mention having me bawl for five minutes when I realized Heather was right about me being pathetic.
HEATHER: Ginger, chill out. You were over my lap with your pants down. You don't think I saw your pussy in all its glory?
GINGER: Oh, I'm sure you did. It's just the peep show thing. I know you. I don't know those teenagers.
HEATHER: Well, you don't know our readers, either. Hundreds of people read these stories, and plenty of them got a good look at you.
AUTHOR: Okay, we have to watch the clock. Kim? We haven't heard from you.
KIM: Well, you wanted us to introduce ourselves, so I'm Kim Dubois…
MOLLY: Excuse me, Kim. With a name like that, don't you let him start making wine and cheese jokes, or having you "surrender" to Marcus…
YOLANDA: Yeah, or puns about "striking". Molly, I think he gets it.
AUTHOR: Too late! French jokes! Go on, Kim.
KIM: Anyway, my family is from Haiti, not France, and my name is Kim Dubois. Well, it's really Kimberly Dubois, but only my parents and Marcus – he's my boyfriend – ever call me that, and it's not what you think, it's not "Kimberly Anne, you get in here this minute!", like they're angry. It's like "Oh, Kimberly, we are so proud of you" or "Will you please marry me, Kimberly?"
ELLIE: Move it along, Kim. We don't have time to puke and get cleaned up for the next scene.
YOLANDA: Hey, wait. I've got a question. When Marcus said maybe a spanking was just what you needed, did he call you "Kim" or "Kimberly"?
KIM: Yolanda! I told you that in private!
YOLANDA: Uh huh. Well, I don't know how many syllables you've got, but they are ALL gettin' spanked if you don't stop buying shoes and clothes and – what are those things?
KIM: I collect Beanie Babies. Do you mind?
YOLANDA: Yeah, you want Beanie Babies or a wedding? Listen, I'll tell the story or we'll be here 'til Christmas. I dropped Kim at Marcus's when we left the bar. Dumbfuck here tells Marcus the whole Spanking Samantha story…
GINGER: Oh, shit!
YOLANDA: …and he sees the new blouse and the new earrings and the new manicure, and – DUH!
MOLLY: I thought you promised to start pinching pennies for the wedding, Kim.
KIM: I'm not stupid!
YOLANDA: No, but you planted the seed, girl. DUH! It sprouted!
ELLIE: So, let me get this straight, Kim. Marcus threatened to spank you?
KIM: He doesn't threaten. Marcus is a gentleman. Oh, okay… It was more like "Maybe Samantha's not the only one who needs to learn a lesson."
MOLLY: Ooo-ooh! Kim's first spanking! Say, Heather, I think it's okay for a very-first-spanking-ever to be just on the panties, don't you?
HEATHER: Or a nightgown. And not too hard.
ELLIE: Or not too long. One or the other. Not too hard or not too long.
KIM: Stop teasing, you guys! So, anyway, I walked right out of there. I said, "Marcus Pelletier, I don't have to listen to that kind of talk. I'm sorry about the manicure, but I have to dress for work, and there won't be a wedding until you apologize. And he didn't, so I left."
HEATHER: Sounds like the panties are coming down after all…
YOLANDA: So then ditzhead goes home and tries spanking herself.
AUTHOR: Really?
ELLIE: Oh, you're kidding.
KIM: Well, just to see what it feels like…
YOLANDA: You believe that shit? 24 years old, and she's lyin' on the carpet, smackin' her own butt, and lookin' in the mirror to see what she's doin' wrong.
(Everyone laughs.)
>MOLLY: Oh god! Whew! Whew! Who has a Kleenex? This is better than the other night!
KIM: Well… Stop! Come on! You heard what Ginger said about Samantha kicking and yelling and all. It's scary!
YOLANDA: So Kim comes to me at coffee bre
KIM: Well, I know I'm the youngest one. I guess I'm a little naive about some things. I count on all of you for advice. Not sure I should, though.
AUTHOR: Ladies, thank you for the lively discussion. I hope you'll come back soon, but we are out of time.
GINGER: Wait. Wait. Kim: Did you have your pants off when you were down there on the bedroom floor?
KIM: Well, first I tried it all dressed, and that didn't feel like much. So then I – you know…
HEATHER: Oh, shit! Don't tell me. So then you tried it on your panties…
KIM: My slip and my panties…
(Scattered laughter.)
HEATHER: The slip and the panties, and then the panties, and then…
KIM: And then on the bare.
HEATHER: And that was it?
KIM: And then a hairbrush. (Gales of laughter.) That stung a little.
GINGER (after collecting herself): Kim, you ever try tickling yourself? It's like spanking yourself. It doesn't work.
AUTHOR: Ladies, thank you again. We're out of time.
HEATHER: Hold on! What about "Ow ow stop ow"?
MOLLY: Yeah, the teaser at the end of the last episode. Next on Spanking Samantha: "Ow ow stop ow!"
AUTHOR: Volunteers? No one?
GINGER: I'm still sore.
HEATHER: So's Samantha.
GINGER: Oh, shit! I'd better get in the shower! She's coming over!
AUTHOR: And sometime, we all want to hear about the second part of that spanking in the living room, Heather.
HEATHER: Oh, just a good hard hand-spanking.
GINGER: It felt like more than that.
AUTHOR: Another time. So: NEXT time, on Spanking Samantha: "Ow ow stop ow!" Thank you, everyone.
GINGER: But not me, okay? Someone else!
(Dim lights. Roll credits.)

New Beauty Test Tube no. 3
27 Aug
Well, after a multitude of shipping delay, I was starting to wonder if I was EVER going to get this thing. But alas, it finalllllly arrived today! This is my 3rd Test Tube from New Beauty this year. If you don't know what the Beauty Tube is, think 'Birchbox on steroids'. There are two versions of the Tube that you can purchase: the QVC version, or the direct-from-New-Beauty version. I, of course, opted for the QVC version because it was a little bit cheaper. And after comparing the two, I think the QVC version gets better stuff :)

Is Mac Miller interested in buying the Squirrel Hill Theater?
It's no secret that Mac Miller has made a few dollars in this rap game, enough to buy a mansion in Los Angeles for himself and his crew.
He also loves movies -- his forthcoming album is called "Watching Movies with the Sound Off" -- and the Point Breeze native briefly lived in an apartment across from Allderdice and up the street from the Squirrel Hill Theater, which has been closed for three years.
In one of the episodes of his new reality series, "Mac Miller and the Most Dope Family," debuting Feb. 26 at 11:30 p.m. on MTV2, he visits the theater as a potential buyer. Miller tours the facility with a real estate agent, talking about how he would love to reopen it as a theater, restaurant and clothing store.
Inside, everything is intact, from the projectors to the seats to the ticket box, which still holds torn tickets for the movie "A Single Man."
There is a scene where the rapper sits down with his architect father and designer brother to talk about whether to make the $2.4 million purchase a family project.
The scene was shot in November and he hasn't made a move on the theater since then. Miller is busy with touring and completion of the sophomore album, so according to a source, the theater is not "in the Top 5" on his list of things to do right now.
Mac Miller's Movie Theater might be something to watch out for in the future though.

How's that for a little walk down memory lane on a Monday morning?
Three is also, apparently the number of times I need to make a pattern before I'm satisfied with the fit enough to wear it out. It happened with my Anna over the course of a year. Today, it happened with Emery!
I wish I could say my story was evolving or changing in some way, but it still goes like this:
"Wow! This pattern looks awesome on so many people. It's so simple! Awesome! Ok, so I'll trace off my best guess, add an FBA, and see where things are. WTF?! This looks horrible. I must have done something wrong. Let me start with another size. WTF still awful. Screw this. I'm going back to something stretchy. Where's the ice cream?"
One year later…
"Maybe I should try it again! I fit into the size 6 measurements reasonably well. NOPE. Let me go back through all 500 (that may not be an exaggeration) versions that Roisin has made and see what she started with because she looks awesome. I mean seriously, though, look at those mushrooms. I die. I'll just do some swayback action and shorten the bodice and see what's up with the bust later. Not awful, just a little tuck here and we'll be okay. Alrighty then, let's sew this up and see what happens…BAM! This pattern is amazing!"
Anyone else? No? Whatever, it's clearly a workable strategy for me.
Now, before you get all fitting police on me, I know this version is not perfect. I had to take an emergency dart out of the armscye, which didn't show up on the muslin I made before I cut into this fabric. Whatever, I don't care, this fabric is perfection and I needed to make it work. Noone but us sewing people will notice that stuff anyway. I'll just wear my hair down and stand up real straight.
In case you didn't guess, the saga of the Emery was kind of epic for me (as all sagas are, I suppose) as I now have a bodice that fits really well and is crying out for some quirky prints. I made 3 (MORE) adjustments to the pattern for the next version I'm sewing up, so I think I'll be set after that!
There's not much else to say other than I'm SO GLAD I worked this one out. Expect lots more in the future. I'll leave you with the saga of fitting below if you're interested. If not, border prints for the win!
Pattern: Emery by Christine Haynes
Fabric: I think I got it on fabric.com like 3 years ago. Good Luck.
Size: 4
-Shortened the bodice 1in.
-1in. swayback adjustment
-Shortened darts 1/4 in.
-Made waist darts bullet-shaped at 2 in. below the bust point
-increased neck dart width by 1/2 in. total (1/4 in. on each side)

Martha Matilda Detert
ST. IGNATIUS - On January 11, 2008, Laura Martha Matilda Detert,
"almost 96", was taken to heaven to be with her Lord and savior.
She was born January 23, 1912, in Ceylon,
Minnesota, the
oldest girl of Anna and Otto Prust. In the middle of much activity and
laughter, she was brought up with Walt, Mike, Evelyn, Alice, Pete, Bob
and Anna Mae. Anna Mae Iverson, Fairmont, MN, is now the only survivor
of Laura's siblings, along with numerous nieces and nephews.
Laura graduated from the 8th grade and then was
asked to
stay home from school to help take care of her brothers and sisters. On
December 3, 1933, Laura married Selmer Detert and began a great
adventure - they moved to the "Wild West" - St. Ignatius, Montana!
Unsure of how she could survive there, her parents sent her a Sears
catalog so she "wouldn't have to wear buckskins." Worried about the
condition of Laura's soul in such an "uncivilized" place, her parents
arranged for a Lutheran missionary pastor to come to the Mission
Valley, and several churches were established there.
Her son, Roger was born April 23, 1941, and farm
kept her busy. Fluffy, handmade angel food cakes were her specialty as
she cooked huge dinners for Selmer's thrashing crews.
Laura loved new cars, good jewelry and nice
clothes, but
most of all, she loved flowers. She always had beautiful flowerbeds in
her yard, and her floral arrangements won many prizes. She made flower
arrangements for the altar of Zion Lutheran Church for over 50 years.
She belonged to the Garden Wall Garden Club and became a floral show
judge. She was also a member of the Foothills Club and the Lutheran
Women's Missionary League.
In the 80's Laura and Selmer became "snowbirds"
enjoyed part of their winters in Mesa, Arizona and joined most of her
sisters and brothers.
Selmer died May 29, 1994. They were married 61
After several strokes, Laura became a resident of Mountain View Care
Center in Ronan. Because of the dedication and friendliness of the
staff and Dr. Vizcarra, she had 12 more comfortable years to play
bingo, tell stories about babysitting Walter Mondale, be a rascal,
laugh with family and friends and tell people about Jesus. Mom, grandma
and friend, Laura, you will be missed so much.
Laura is survived by her son, Roger (Rosemary)
grandsons Bruce (Jessi) Detert and their daughter Abby of Seattle, and
Daniel (Hollie) Detert and their children, Kiera and Cole of Livermore,
Memorials may be made to Zion Lutheran Church,
Mountain View Care Center or to a charity of the donor's choice.
Bernice "Butch" Goode
RONAN - Alma Bernice "Butch" Goode, 78, died Sunday, Jan. 27, 2008.
Because of the love and special care of her family, she was at her home
in Ronan.
She was born January 21, 1930, at the family home
Camas Hot Springs and was one of five children born to William and
Judith (Cluzen) Markle. She attended schools in Hot Springs and
graduated in 1949 and was voted "Best Legs", Athlete and Dancer.
Bernice was a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
On November 5, 1949, she married Harold S. Goode
Rapid City, SD. The couple lived in Hot Springs where they raised their
two sons, Ralph and Gary, and a niece Sue. Besides being a wife,
mother, and Cub Scout Den mother, she worked as a bookkeeper for Fisher
Logging, at the Hot Springs Post Office, and The Hot Springs Citizen,
the local newspaper.
Bernice had a special gift of conversation and
make anyone feel special. She loved and spoiled her pets and was a
great cook who was excited to pass on her recipes to the next
generation, but playing cards with her family and friends was a
favorite pastime. She enjoyed bridge, pinochle, Scrabble and other
board games and was always eager to share her skills with anyone who
would dare to challenge her. She also loved helping her grandkids,
nieces, and nephews with their math in a game or two of crib. If anyone
wanted to play bingo or keno, you could always talk her into going and
most times she came out a winner. There was hardly a garage sale she
would miss or a special deal she could pass up in order to get that
"special granny gift".
She is preceded in death by her husband Harold, an
infant daughter, son Gary Goode, her parents Bill and Judith Markle,
brothers Ted and Jasper and her sisters Jean and Frances Snyder.
She is survived by son Ralph (Janice) Goode of
daughter-in-law Maggie Goode of Niarada; and niece Sue (Dave) Woods of
Helena. She was Gramma to her grandchildren; Rory (Terrance); Todd
(Macy); Sue (Suny); Stan (Michele); Becky (Paul), Craig (Kay), Keeley,
and Shayla; and MeMa to her great-grandchildren; Suny J, Jed, Faith,
Wyatt, Boston, Saray, Ryan and Brenna. She is also survived by her
wonderful extended family and friends who called, stopped by to visit,
or just sent a note or card.
A very special thank you to her daughter-in-law
Goode, and nieces Raelynne Peterson and Christy Rhine for their
kindness, care and love for her these past few months. It is no secret
that family was important to her; she was so proud of the
accomplishments of her sons, grandchildren, and the many nieces,
nephews and other relatives that she has left behind.
Cremation has taken place at Grogan Funeral Home
and a
service and celebration of her life will be held in the spring. The
date and time of the celebration will be announced by the family. In
lieu of flowers, memorials are suggested to Lake County Hospice, your
choice of cancer societies or youth programs.
Condolences may also be sent to the family at www.groganfuneralhome.com.

Byrl Weivoda
POLSON - Gerry Byrl Weivoda, 71, of Pablo and Polson, passed while
surrounded by her loving family at the family home on Clairmont Rd. in
Pablo on Jan. 7, 2008.
Gerry was born in Bancroft, Idaho on April 28,
1936 to
Koral and Dick McLain. The family moved to the Polson area in 1945
where she attended and graduated from Polson High School in 1954. While
attending high school, Gerry was proud to have been a Candy Striper at
the St. Joseph Hospital.
In August 1954 she married Wallace Weivoda and
they made
their home in Ronan and later in Polson. They raised five children and
their kids' close friends and countless tag alongs. All those who
entered Gerry's home left with a full stomach; a good night's sleep and
laundered clothes.
Wally and Gerry owned and operated the Gambles
Store on
Main Street in Polson for 13 years, where they forged lifelong
relationships with many residents of Lake County and the surrounding
areas. Gerry owned the Kut-n-Kurl Beauty Shop in Polson from 1972
go1993 before turning the keys over to her daughter, Bev. Upon retiring
in 1980 Gerry and Wally became snowbirds and were Las Vegas residents
during the winter months. The first season they tried the Airstream
life, but gave up and bought a condo instead.
Gerry's love for hummingbirds was evident both
inside and outside the family home.
She leaves behind so many close friends and had
such an
outpouring of concern, love and visitors that it left the family dizzy
at times. This year marks the 29th year in which Gerry's life was
afflicted with cancer of one sort or another. She fought a courageous
battle and will be an inspiration to us all. The love of her life was
her family and she treasured the frequent gatherings that they held.
She wasn't satisfied until all bellies were filled and the dishes were

Morigeau Matte
ST. IGNATIUS - Laura Morigeau Matte and her twin sister, Lorena, who
preceded her in death, were born January 29, l9l2, at their home in
Valley Creek to John Morigeau and Matilda Gebeau. They were two of l2
children. Laura died peacefully in her sleep January l4, 2008, of
natural causes, at the Home Sweet Home Assisted Living Center, where
she resided for the past year and a half.
During her early education years, she attended a
boarding school operated by the Ursuline Nuns in St. Ignatius. At age
l2, she and a couple of sisters, went to an Indian boarding school in
Rapid City, SD, and stayed for three years before coming home. During
that time, she tried to run away but got caught downtown.
After she was home for a couple of years, she and
sisters, were sent to boarding school at Chemawa, in Salem, OR. She met
her husband, Joseph E. Matte, a Gros Ventres Indian from Fort Belknap
while at Chemawa; they were married October ll, l934. After their
marriage, their honeymoon was a three-day trip driving back to Flathead
country. Her husband was eventually employed with the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and they lived most of their lives at the old Dixon Agency
until his retirement.
They raised five children in the years they lived
at the
old Agency. After Joe's retirement, they moved with their youngest
daughter, Sara, to Blue Bay on Flathead Lake, to live in the log house
they had built together. Their home was the favorite gathering place
for their extended family, many friends and relatives and will continue
to be.
Laura was a proud member of the Confederated
Salish and
Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation. Because of her
interest in the Tribes, she got more involved in tribal affairs by
running for the Tribal Council. She became the second woman to serve on
the Council but she was the first woman elected to a full-term.
She was very proud of her daughters' graduating
college, as well as her grandchildren and great-grandchildren
continuing on in college because education was a very important factor
for her. She was also very proud of her grandchildren working for the
CS&K Tribes and other Indian entities in the Northwest.
Some of her other pastimes were spent fishing,
crafting, sewing, beading and socializing. As the first Indian
bartender on the reservation, she worked for Belle Holt and Rose
(Wagner) Bailey who both at one time were individual owners of the
4-Star Bar in Ravalli. She was the first Avon Lady in the area and also
sold Stanley Brush products. She and her sister, Alma Luedtke, operated
a small café in Ravalli in the '60's before she ran for
Laura and her husband, Joe, were Montana
Every winter, they would travel to Tucson, AZ, to stay with their
daughter, Diane, Ed and two children, Joe and Laura. While there, they
would take side trips to Mexico and other tourist spots throughout the
Southwest. In more recent years, Laura continued to winter in Arizona.
She loved going to the local casinos to play the slot machines and her
favorite game, bingo. She also enjoyed shopping and just letting the
"dry heat" warm her bones.
She was preceded in death by her husband of
years; her son, Wayne; parents, five brothers and four sisters;
sons-in-law, David Lipscomb and G. Kirk Samsel; grandson, John
Lipscomb; and two great-grandsons, Jeremy and Dillon Lipscomb.
She is survived by her sister, Alma Luedtke,
Ronan; four
daughters, Joan Samsel, Polson; Carol Lipscomb, St. Ignatius; Diane
(Ed) Simmons, Tucson, AZ; and Sara (Robert) Matte-Wilber, Poolesville,
MD. She has 11 grandchildren: Frances, Suzanne, Richard and George
Gates; Laura (Steve) Bermel; Brian (Allyson) Lipscomb; Daniel (Alicia)
Lipscomb; Laura (Mike) Mitchell; Joseph (Liana) Simmons; Sasha and
Christopher Wilber; and l4 great-grandchildren, Nicole Samsel; Tim,
Bethany and Emily Bermel; Jacob, Caitlin and Jenna Lipscomb, Jared and
Candace Neiss; Benjamin and Taylor (Trista) Lipscomb; Chelsea and Tate
Lipscomb; last but not least, Madison Mitchell. She is also survived by
many nieces, nephews and a former sister-in-law Phyllis Piper, and
card-playing partner Stella Janison.
Traditional wake services will begin at the
Longhouse in
St. Ignatius, Saturday, January l9. Rosary will be on Sunday, January
20, at 7 p.m at the Longhouse, and funeral Mass will be Monday, January
2l, at 11 a.m., at the St. Ignatius Catholic Church; burial will follow
at the St. Ignatius Catholic Cemetery.
Her grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be
pallbearers as she travels on to her final resting place. She's
probably swinging from a star saying, "Look where I am now!" We love
you and will miss you, Mom.

Eugene Conko, Sr.
ST. IGNATIUS - Eneas Eugene Conko, Sr., 61, passed away on January
10th, at home while surrounded by his family.
Eneas was born on January 13, 1946 to Louise Adams
and William Conko in Worley, Idaho.
He was raised by his mother and grandparents,
Sophie and
Eneas Conko. He later went to Worley, Idaho with his Uncle Francis and
Auntie Margaret. He attended school at Worley High School where he
earned his diploma. Worley was a good time for Eneas and there are many
stories that could be told of his days there.
Eneas was a proud Marine and often talked about
his experiences in Vietnam.
When he returned from the Marines, he married
Barnaby and went to school in the Dakotas where he received his
Criminal Justice Degree.
After his schooling he lived in Worley, Moses
Lake, WA,
and on the Flathead Reservation where he worked for the Confederated
Salish and Kootenai Tribes and for his brother John's business, Iron
Horse Fencing.
Eneas enjoyed watching basketball and football. He
not like hunting or fishing; he'd rather visit friends and speak his
language. He was very social and loved to visit, tell jokes and laugh
around. He is going to be missed so much by his family and friends. We
all loved and cared for him.
Eneas was preceded in death by Louise Adams Conko,
William Conko, Margaret Friedlander, Christine "Peewee" Conko, Anthony
Paul, Duane Pierre, Jeanette Conko Torosian and Mary Agnes Conko.
Survivors include his wife Kathy of Ronan; his
Nicolette (Pat) Conko, Inya (Vanessa) Conko, Shanna (Zeno) Conko, DJ
(Monica) Omingo and Simone Joseph; siblings Ellen Hendrickx, Millie
Camel, John (Linda) Conko and Harold Paul; his 13 grandchildren and his
tupeye, Makaelah; and his friend and longtime caregiver Charlotte
"Babe" Rose.
POLSON - Gordon Coe was born February 25, 1931, in Sioux City, Iowa to
Floyd and Vivia (Lake) Coe.
He delighted in taking time to talk, listen, and
with everyone he met, being particularly fond of politics and social
issues. If he wasn't listening and talking, he was avidly people
He supported Native American tribal sovereignty
advocated for the oppressed. A self-described iconoclast, he challenged
others to think independently, to question and resist the dominant
paradigm, and to recognize the interconnection and sanctity of the
earth and all her inhabitants. He walked this world in his own time and
rhythm, savoring his moments, until a lengthy battle with prostate
cancer pulled him from us on January 11.
He is survived by his mother, Vivia Coe; his
companion and wife, Eloise Wiebe; his four children, Mark, Robin,
Tammerly, and Jordan; six grandchildren and a plethora of loving and
supportive friends.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that
donations be sent to Home Options Care Hospice of Flathead County,
J. "Frank" Lucara
POLSON - Francis J. "Frank" Lucara died on Sunday, January 6, 2008 at
his home surrounded by his loving family.
He was born on May 28, 1919 at Red Lodge under the
backdrop of the Beartooth Mountains. Born to Joseph and Anna Lucara of
Northern Italy, Francis was the last of three brothers and three
His childhood was spent in the beautiful
countryside of
Red Lodge. This is where Frank flourished. He hunted, he fished, he
schooled, and he grew up, all this with his favorite dog "Snuggles."
Frank married the "love of his life", his high
sweetheart, his compliment, his best friend, Miss Sylvia Vivian Koski,
on September 16, 1940 in Helena. Throughout his life, she has been
constantly at his side.
Frank and Vivian moved in 1942 to San Rafael, CA,
he worked as an apprentice carpenter. Then, with the outbreak of WWII,
he went to work in the Shipyards. After the war was over, they ventured
back to Montana, where they built their life together with their four
children. As time went, that adventuresome Frank went into the soft
water business in Powell, Wyoming. Then he decided that briquettes
would be his next game. So on to Polson in 1960, that adventure led to
a career at Plum Creek Timber. He retired from Plum Creek in 1981.
Now he decided to be a gardener and garlic should
be his
game and garlic he grew and grew. For several years he grew and sold
garlic to many of Polson's residents and passing tourists. From garlic,
to goats and to wine making, Frank had many, many talents. He loved
woodworking and built everything his mind could conjure up, from houses
to furniture; he loved carpentry. His children and many others have
enjoyed his handiwork.
Many of us have a Francis classic, the signature
Frank "fished the fish" and "built the built" the
that made him a happy man at heart. It was during this time that he
really got the sense of serving his Creator, Jehovah God, as one of
Jehovah's Witnesses.
He is survived by his wife of 67 years, Sylvia
his son, Francis David (Luella) Lucara; his daughters, Anita (Virgil)
Peek; Lynette (Virgil) Dupuis; Vondanette Holland; sister, Elizabeth
(Henry) Hodnik; 11 grandchildren; and 12 great-grandchildren.
Memorial services will be held at 2 p.m. on
January 11, 2008 at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Arrangements for the family are being taken care of by Grogan Funeral
Home and Crematory. Condolences may be sent to the family at
So this is how it is from the beginning to the
end, with the hope for him to start life all over again.

Lock up your Waffle Houses.
Bandits in Quebec have made off with millions of dollars worth of maple syrup from a St-Louis-de-Blandford warehouse, where 10 million pounds of syrup, worth more than $30 million, was being temporarily housed.
It is unclear exactly how much maple syrup the thieves made off with.
The theft was discovered after a routine inventory check. The product was meant to be stored there for several weeks while renovations were being completed at a new location.
"The Federation always acts with caution to protect producers' harvests. The St-Louis-de-Blandford warehouse had been secured by a fence and locks, and visited regularly," Serge Beaulieu, president of the Federation of Quebec Maple Syrup Producers, said in a statement. "The sales agency`s maple syrup inventory is spread across several storage locations which were not subject to theft."
The federation, responsible for the global strategic maple syrup reserve, had kept about the theft the new quiet at first, hoping it would help police catch the thieves.
The syrup was emptied from its original barrels, suggesting it was transferred to different containers for transportation.
Quebec is responsible for 70 to 80% of the world's maple syrup, according to the Quebec Maple Syrup Producers federation. The federation noted that several U.S. states had "a very low, indeed catastrophic, harvest during the 2012 season" while "the Quebec harvest . . . remained normal."
The federation says the storage of its product in large quantities, coming from up to 10,000 different producers, is meant to limit risk.
"The Federation wishes to underscore that all maple syrup inventories in its charge are fully insured. The marketing of the stolen maple syrup will affect the entire maple industry. It is crucial to identify those responsible for this crime."

Legion or in the American Federation of Labor. Yet both the latter organizations are powerful enough to command a majority vote in the House and the Senate. _ _ . The League does not in- business Unly tend to call upon candidates Wants to Have to declare themselves in the a Square Deal coming November elections. The organization has not been set up soon enough. But it would be natural to expect a frank avowal from every member of Congress on January ist so that the people in each district may know where every member stands and so that the American Liberty League may begin its campaign of education in those districts in which members of Congress are supporting proposals in Washington at variance with the principles of sound economics or the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. The Tenth Commandment said "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house" and the dictionary defines "covet" thus: "To desire inordinately without due regard for the rights of others." The taking away of private property by confiscatory taxes and the distribution of funds to subsidize voters is not merely a violation of the Tenth Commandment but it comes dangerously near another commandment which says "Thou shalt not steal." To take one man's business and customers away and give them to his competitors is a form of larceny. The use of the boycott by removal of the Blue Eagle has no sanction in law or in the Constitution. It is the caprice of bureaucracy. The use of Government funds to pay political debts is an unmoral act. The American people will not long tolerate the politicians who would use government for their own ends. American business today is tired of the politicians and the grafters. American business today wants to cooperate with government in developing a sound program of recovery. American business today respects President Roosevelt and asks him to give business a voice in the making of public policies. American business today wants and demands and will fight for a square deal. 8 * * the Tenth Commandment by David Lawrence ★ ★ ★ Reprint from the United States T^ews ★ * AMERICAN LIBERTY LEAGUE WASHINGTON, D. C. THE TENTH COMMANDMENT ★ ★ ★ TrlE Tenth Commandment and the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States are strikingly similar. The one reads: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house * * * nor anything that is thy neighbor's." The other reads: "No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensation." It is an amazing commentary on the trend of affairs in America that an organization should have become necessary to enlist the citizenry for a crusade on behalf of the Constitution or the Tenth Commandment. Pious lip service to these two great precepts is given every day by those who would deceive the American people. "Why, of course, we believe in all that," say the "leftwing" radicals. And, of course, they do not. The kind of transparent hypocrisy which these traducers of American constitutionalism really preach is best exemplified by the tongue-in-cheek answer given by Professor Tugwell to the interrogating legislators when he avowed himself a "conservative," adding quickly that he wished, of course, to "conserve" what was worth while. w, . . The American Liberty What Liberty League is a call to arms. League Group It is the beginning of a Stands For movement which, if properly guided and aggressively carried on, will save the American people from the forces which today are threatening to bring misery, starvation and disaster to the common people. It is a movement aimed at those who in the name of the law and in the name of government would rob Peter to pay Paul, who would repress honest dollars and issue fictitious money, and who would confiscate by taxation and by government competition the savings of one hundred and fifty years of Americanism. It will not do to laugh off the American Liberty League or to hurl epithets at it or to speak of it as a return to the "old order." Such an attitude would be a reflection upon President Roosevelt himself whose great personality 3 has forged a new approach to American problems, whose skillful leadership has brought the old-fashioned reactionaries in American business further toward the sensible liberalism of Woodrow Wilson and Thomas Jefferson than has any other single influence in our lifetime. The "left wing" is unfortunately blind to these gains. For there is a greater sense of social responsibility in business today than ever before. There is, moreover, no group of business men of any substantial number in America who want to see human rights disregarded. There is no group that believes in the exploitation of human beings. There is no group which wants to see any human being starve. But there are groups, yes, hundreds of them, who honestly believe it is cruel for a political-minded set of men to waste public funds, to take property without due process of law, to confiscate property without just compensation and to ignore the plight of the millions of men and women who want work but cannot get it because the economic mechanism is kept from functioning by the sabotage of irresponsible radicalism. . , It is easy enough to blame Operation or "big business" for the ills of Natural Laws an economic system that has Being Retarded brought unemployment. But v it is absurd to make such a charge when all over the world the unemployment problem has been growing as an aftermath of war. It is high time the blaming of one another ceased and the so-called leaders of American thought recognized that the responsibility for improvement of economic conditions now lies with those in governmental position who are retarding the operations of natural economic laws and shaking the foundations of the Republic by casting doubt upon the title of the individual to his home and his business. If taxation goes to extremes, it means the destruction of private property. If jungle law prevails in government, then J commitments cannot be made by business men. 1 Financing of enterprises must then be at a standstill. Who wants to buy a bond payable ten years hence ■if the whole structure of business is threatened by acts of piracy? Where are such transgressions? Let us first make a confession of faith: The New Deal has some commendable policies. So far as this writer is concerned, he approves heartily the methods and the money that have been used to furnish relief to the unemployed, the lend- ing of funds for such projects as are capable of repaying indebtedness, and are not competitive with existing enterprise, the efforts made to stabilize the dollar, the proposal to remove tariff barriers and negotiate reciprocal trade agreements, the moves towards disarmament and, generally speaking, the entire foreign policy, the use of silver as a monetary supplement but not a substitute for gold, the stimulation of foreign trade, the legislation adopted to help reorganize corporate structures, the general purposes of the Federal housing act and the measures for the relief of farm and city mortgages. . , - ... But there can be no de- IndePenSlble fense of the "spoils system" Policies of whereby public trust is Government betrayed. There can be no defense of bureaucracy. There can be no defense of a policy which destroys cattle or crops. There can be no defense of the policy of lending money to set up instrumentalities that would compete with and destroy business in which the public has invested its funds. There can be no defense of the policies which seek by subterfuge to usurp the rights of the States as, for instance, in the NRA's theory that all business has suddenly come under Federal jurisdiction. There can be no defense of the policy of wasteful spending which unbalances our budget by 4,000 millions of dollars and gives no dependable pledge of abatement of such expenditures. There can be no defense of the retention of any individual in any public office who believes that the Constitution can be violated because the end justifies the means. If it is desired to amend the Constitution, let the people have the chance to express themselves upon every such proposal. If it is desired to give the Federal Government complete power over all business and industry, let the people vote upon that proposition in constitutional conventions. If it is desired to abolish the State governments and let the Federal authority control electric light and power, coal, oil, and all the production of American farms, let the American people, also in constitutional conventions, pass upon the such fundamental changes. There is nothing in the Constitution which permits any man or group of men to equalize competition, to redistribute wealth or to redistribute brains, to put a penalty upon efficiency or to punish success by confiscatory taxation. The writer does not pro-Nation Needs fess to know the program Saving From of the American Liberty Opportunists League, except for its published statement of an intention to preserve and defend the Constitution. But there is room in America, indeed, there is need today for men who will give their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to preserve the Republic against those who either have never read the Ten Commandments or who believe an emergency in economic circumstances repeals the laws of right and wrong. For nearly a year and a half, business has been abused. Taking their cue from the White House, the "left wingers" have denounced all business men as dishonest and only occasionally have they conceded there might be a few exceptions. There comes a time when business loses its morale, when there is defeatism where there should be hope and determination. Business should organize. It should enlist supporters in every precinct in the land. _ The politicians know only ■Significance the language of votes, not in Character the logic of reason or the of Organizers persuasiveness of thoughtful debate. It is significant that two men who have been honored by the Democratic party by being given the nomination for the presidency have consented to serve on the executive committee of the American Liberty League. It is significant that two prominent Republicans have done likewise. This, therefore, is no new alignment of parties. It is the beginning, however, of a Constitution bloc. To the extent that Congress has disregarded the pleas of business, the American Liberty League will begin in due time to help the election of Democrats or Republicans, as the case may be, who avow themselves in favor of principles of sound economics. As for Mr. Roosevelt, it is inconceivable that the American Liberty League is at this time planning a campaign to oppose the President's reelection. Rather would it seem logical that the American Liberty League should be planning to win the support and cooperation of Mr. Roosevelt on as many portions of its program as possible. The President is too well aware of the vote- getting power of minority blocs in congressional elections to align himself at the outset with those who would regard the American Liberty League as an institution of "reactionaries." The men in the American Liberty League are not the kind who are intimidated by the comments of various members of Congress who promptly christened them "die-hards." The League is an inevitable response to the challenge by the left wing. It is, therefore, definitely anti-radical. It is against the groups that would drive Mr. Roosevelt from sound to unsound positions. _ _ . , For the forces which have lo right tor been unloosed in the depres- Rights Reserved sion and would introduce a to the People communistic or socialistic state are for the moment sympathetic to Mr. Roosevelt, but they will turn upon him whenever he makes the slightest concessions to the liberal conservatives. There are few men in America who have given of themselves so unselfishly as Alfred E. Smith. He rose from poverty to the highest gift in his party. He served the people of New York State as governor and nobody called him a "die-hard" then. Today former Governor Smith lends his name and open support to the American Liberty League. It must be because he feels the issue is drawn, that there has been an attack on the Americanism which has heretofore safeguarded a man's home and his earnings. Far across this land the clear-thinking people will join the American Liberty League because it offers them an opportunity to fight for a cause that is the crux of American liberty itself the perpetuation of the rights granted by the Constitution and the rights reserved to the people which it was never intended that government or the Constitution should ever usurp. Funds may come at the outset from a few business men who sponsor the movement, but in the final analysis the American Liberty League will succeed or fail depending upon whether it brings to its membership the rank and file of American voters, the white collar workers as well as all who own property, those who manage business, those who understand how high taxation destroys incentive and prevents business recovery. The League plans to get at least 4,000,000 members. This is more than there are in the American

Occasionally we may all fall into a bit of a slump. It's perfectly human. Maybe things didn't turn out the way you'd planned or perhaps you're just having a hard time getting beyond something. All normal.
Best thing to do when you've hit a bit of a low is accept where you are. Feel the emotions you're feeling. The sooner we allow ourselves to feel where we are, the sooner we'll accept whatever it is that's happening, and the sooner the lights will come back on.
If the darkness lingers too long, get some help. Because too much darkness is not good for anyone. But realize that eventually the lights will come back on and life will look good again. And chances are you'll be a stronger person for having felt your way through the darkness, even if you might have stubbed your toe once or twice.
And how glorious it is when the light comes shining through the window again!

If I Didn't Not Kill No Dogz: The Life & Crimes of Mike Vickby Free Britney at . Comments
Looks like former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is following in O.J. Simpson's footsteps by shopping a book about his rise from poverty to stardom and the misadventures that landed one of football's greatest talents behind bars.
A proposed memoir of Vick's rise from poverty to stardom would likely be an attempt to show the NFL that he's sorry enough to be let back in the league.
Vick is due to be granted early release from federal prison this year after being convicted in a dogfighting probe. He'll have served nearly two years.
Will the NFL give Michael Vick another chance?
Sounds crazy, but if he can still play, it's pretty to remaining suspended forever... just ask Pacman Jones. That guy always turns up again on some team no matter how many thugz get shot when he decides to makes it rain.
There's still hope, Michael Vick!
Lucky for him. Apparently he's a real high-roller with bills to pay and a shortage of cash. The license plate factory doesn't have the cachet it once did. Gotta get cracking!
Whomever ghostwrites Vick's memoir has a difficult task ahead to make him appear sympathetic, but hey, at least he didn't kill two people and rob another like O.J.
