If you're about to move to a new home not too far away – to a close-by city or to a neighboring state, then you may be tempted to perform a self-move rather than lose time to search for experienced professionals and then pay those moving experts to complete the tasks which you think you can manage just as successfully on your own.
However, if you fail to assess your pre-move situation properly, that brave decision of yours may easily do you more harm than good. The risks of DIY moving are quite real – incurred expenses way over the set budget limit, hours or even days of wasted time, expensive household items damaged forever, considerable property damage on Moving day, and worst of all – personal injuries that can cost you dearly in the end.
It's not hard to see that the two main reasons most people are willing to try to move on their own are to save money and to avoid the hassle related to finding a reputable moving company, but the real questions they should be asking are:
Will the potential risks of moving by yourself be worth it once the bottom line is drawn?
Will the risks of DIY moving outweigh the benefits that could come with moving without professional assistance?
Let's take a closer look at the 5 major risks of moving by yourself:
Self-moving risk #1: Lost time
It's understandable that you will want to save the time to research, compare and pick a top-rated moving company. However, keep in mind that the time you invest in finding a reputable mover often turns out to be well-spent in the end.
And here's why:
- You will still need to arrange a moving vehicle by yourself, and that alone can take a staggering amount of time;
- You will need time to convince your friends to come over to your place and help you pack and lift heavy items;
- You will need many days to pack up your home on your own – something that professional packers will complete in record time.
Needless to say, each self-moving mistake and wrong decision due to inexperience will cost you additional hours or even days, so are you really saving time when moving home on your own?

Self-moving risk #2: Higher costs
If you're contemplating moving on your own, then the only thing that's stopping you from hiring the best moving company in your area must be the price. Bear in mind, though, that to automatically assume that self-moving is always cheaper than hiring a professional moving company is clearly a mistake.
Sure, if you're moving just a short distance, have a friend who won't mind letting you their pick-up truck, have numerous friend to help you out, and you don't own any specialty items that require professional handling, then moving on your own seems like a cost-saving option after all.
But have you heard of the hidden costs of DIY moving? Unless you factor in the cost of the truck rental, packing supplies, extra insurance, moving equipment, fuel, fuel surcharges, road tolls and taxes, food and hotels on the road, then the financial side of your risk assessment won't be really complete.
Must-read info: What costly self-moving mistakes to avoid
Self-moving risk #3: Damaged items
Depending on the number and nature of the things you have decided to move to the new home, your upcoming move could, in fact, be more suited for a self-move. However, most DIY movers will own large furniture pieces, heavy household appliances and probably a few specialty items – a fact that should quickly raise a number of safety and security concerns.
Do you really trust yourself to handle all your stuff in the safest way possible? Thanks to their years of experience in the field, professional movers will make every effort to minimize the risks when moving and handling large, heavy and expensive household goods. Moreover, good moving companies come fully insured and offer good valuation options so even if something bad happened to any of your belongings, you would be able to file a compensation claim with your mover.
Therefore, one of the biggest risks of moving on your own is that you won't have any insurance or protection should something happen to your belongings on the road.

Self-moving risk #4: Property damage
Most people tend to forget one of the dangers of moving by yourself until it's too late – the immediate risks of property damage on moving day. Top professional movers come with the proper moving equipment, and they do know how to use it too, so property damage is something you shouldn't really worry about.
Make no mistake, the hidden risks of self-moves can suddenly become not-so-hidden once you start moving around huge and heavy household items:
- scratched floors, damaged hardwood floors and broken tiles /unless a furniture dolly, furniture pads, and many hands are available/;
- chipped and dented walls around tight corners /unless thick protective blankets are used both on the items and the walls respectively/;
- damaged staircase steps or broken banisters /unless extreme caution is used when going up or down the stairs, while the banisters are wrapped in protective blankets/.
The bad news is that property damage is extremely tricky – it's something that no DIY mover ever takes into account but it's something that can cost a lot of money to fix.

Self-moving risk #5: Personal injuries
As you can see, moving by yourself can be a rather risky endeavor. In this line of thought, one of the potential risks when moving heavy furniture is the possibility of sustaining a personal injury – an unfortunate event that must be avoided at all costs.
- Be reasonable and assess realistically your own abilities to handle the move without professional assistance;
- Gather up as many helping hands as you possibly can;
- Use appropriate moving equipment;
- Always use proper lifting techniques when lifting and carrying heavyweight household items;
- Keep exit pathways free of obstacles and perfectly clean;
- Make sure small children and pets are not present during the moving day action;
- Don't underestimate how you dress on moving day as that can be the fine line between trouble and no trouble;
Safety when moving home is your top priority – follow the basic rules to prevent accidents and injuries during a move. You surely wouldn't want to find yourself in a situation where the costly medical bill is the least of your worries, would you?
Please read: How to avoid accidents and injuries when moving house
Add the elevated levels of stress and other possible costly self-moving mistakes (like renting a moving truck of the wrong size) and you will soon realize that hiring a top-rated moving company is the safer, quicker and more cost-effective to have your prized possessions moved to your new house or apartment.

Steve Griffith is the best man and lives in Rhode Island working for Southern Spars. He loves to sail, kiteboard, and watch movies. Steve has been Jack's best friend since the second grade and they attended school together all the way up through college at Michigan State University.
I was born and raised in Grosse Pointe, Michigan (which is north of Canada if you know your geography) and loved every minute of it. I am a United States Air Force veteran and PROUD University of Michigan alum. I'm currently living in the Greater Boston area working at Fidelity Investments as a financial advisor.
Mr. Watson and I have known each other for more than 15 years. He was one of the first friends I made when I began attending Brownell Middle School. It's strange to think of someone as a friend for so long. It seems these days you're a very lucky person to be able to consider someone a friend regardless of the changes that occur over time. Even through the years with each of us taking different paths, Jack and I always seem to pick right back up where we left off, which is a rare characteristic to have in a friendship.
I moved to Atlanta from Grosse Pointe in 2012. While others slave away working nine to fives I can usually be found at Bobby Jones Golf Course where I am also employed. I am currently finishing my degree at Kennesaw State University. I met Jack while we were in High school at South and as hard as he tries to recruit me to his Spartan lifestyle he will never succeed. In Mairin he has found his perfect match. Much love to you both.
I'm a graduate of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!) and a CPA with Deloitte and Touche in Detroit. I met Jack on our high school football team at Grosse Pointe South, where Jack set many records for the slowest 40-yard dash and the largest helmet size in the storied history of blue devils football. I have had the pleasure of sharing many great experiences, debates, and cigars with Jack over the years and I can't be happier for him. Congratulations and best wishes to Jack and Mairin!
Jack and Patrick met at Michigan State University in 2005 at the Sigma Chi Fraternity. Jack introduced Patrick to conservative politics, fine "bourbon" and the appropriate use of a robe. Patrick has known Mairin since she was first introduced as Jack's girlfriend, and ever since then, Patrick has been convincing her to run in the other direction. Clearly Patrick didn't have much success in convincing her, but none the less, is very honored to be sharing Jack and Mairin's special day.
I met Mairin in our Mother's womb sometime in the winter of 1984. We got along well right from the start and were basically inseparable until college. I met Jack on one of the many MacDonald family weekends in Northern Michigan. I can't imagine what it would be like being thrown into that with our slightly insane family. I look forward to many more scotches and Labatts while yelling at the Tigers with him. Good luck you two, insert mushy stuff here.
I am pleased to say I have known Mairin since the day I was born because I happen to be her youngest sister. I became extremely lucky from day one because I was able to grow up having an older sister who was not only my role model but my best friend. Although we have had our sisterly feuds, she is always someone who I have been able to lean on for everything. I am so excited for Jack and Mairin to start on this new adventure together. I wish them all the best and can't wait to share this experience with them!
I've known Mairin since 1987, when my parents brought my beautiful existence into this world. We've beaten each other up over the years and she still has the scars to prove it. Believe it or not, I'm Mairin's younger (yet much wiser) sister. However this wisdom blossomed from having a constant role model and best friend built into my life from the start. I cant wait for Mairin and Jack to tie the knot. Cheers to a Walloon summer wedding!
My name is Nicole Weinrauch. I currently live in the Sterling Heights/Clinton Township area and am a practicing MLS for St. John Providence Health System. I grew up in Saginaw, MI where I met the lovely Mairin MacDonald. We were acquaintances in high school and later became the best of friends during our time together studying and well, partying at Michigan State University. When it was time to grow up and graduate from college, we moved to the Detroit area together and were roommates in Royal Oak, which was when Mairin met Jack for the first time. Since then they have built a fabulous life together and I'm so excited to be a part of their special day and watch them tie the knot!! Congrats guys!!
My name is Kailey Fink and I have known Mairin for about 10 years now! We both started our freshman year at MSU going in blind for roommates. We were placed together at the dorm Mason/Abbot and ended up having a class together that first semester, a love for country music, and so much more in common. It was the start of an amazing friendship! I still believe today, and will forever, that Mairin and I were destined to be a part of each other's lives. She was there standing next to me when I was married to the love of my life and now I get to be a part of her special day. I am so excited to see her enter this next chapter of her life and be there for her like she has always been there for me. I live in Grand Rapids with my husband, Kevin, and I am now the mother of a beautiful little boy, Kolbe, who was born on April 1, 2014. Mairin and I live about 3 hours away from each other but stay in contact and see each other whenever possible. Love you, MairBear! Congrats to you and Jack and I wish you many blessings now and forever!
Cousins since birth and friends for life. Since we were seven years old playing on that rinky dink swing set in the backyard Mairin and I have always been two peas in a pod. I can remember watching dirty dancing with her about 1,000 times, dancing, babysitting, but mostly just laughing and enjoying spending time together. Even though I now live in Charleston, SC instead of around the block I can still pick up the phone call Mairin and its like we've never missed a beat. We've seen some ups and downs and supported each other through it all. Both of us now at a turning point in our lives, me graduating from dental school and Mairin getting MARRIED!! I could not be more excited and happy for Mairin and I am sure that she and Jack will have a full and amazing life and marriage. He's one lucky guy ;)
My brother, despite slight distances in age and geography, has always been very dear to me. For however close Jack and I have been as siblings, and for however much everyone in the Watson clan has enjoyed the company of its tallest member, we have all taken to Mairin more so. Her sharp and keen wit, generosity of spirit, and warm heart are not only endearing, but inspiring. Plus, it's delightful to watch her keep Jack on his toes! Can't wait to see everyone at the wedding and celebrate Jack and Mairin getting married!

A lot of people were surprised about his decision. He had good intentions with his comeback, and he had good intentions with his decision not to come back. The man's legacy will not be tainted by his stint with the Jets last year. He holds records that probably won't be broken or even met. Honestly, with his perseverance, and his love of the game this is one of those things where he could easily be back and forth with the retirement, kind of like Michael Jordan was. One of my favorite Football players ever. Best of Luck to Brett Favre.

Computer scientists at Harvard's School of Engineering and Applied Science have created a small army of self-controlled robots that follow the same principles as ants or termites to create impressive structures out of foam blocks. The TERMES robots can create towers, pyramids, and other structures out of miniature bricks without any sort of blueprint — even building themselves staircases to reach higher levels.
Each robot is programmed with a simple set of rules modeled after the process termites and other social insects use to build complex structures without outside guidance. The robots rely on environmental cues to decide where to place bricks, without any need to track the number of bricks in the structure or how many other robots are collaborating on the project. The TERMES robots can continue working until their batteries die or they're done laying bricks.
In the future, similar machines could be used in construction projects in environments that are too dangerous for human workers (for instance, underwater or even in outer space). They could also help with disaster relief efforts by laying down sandbags in flood zones. Unfortunately, those applications are likely years away — for now, scientists still have much to learn simply from observing and refining small-scale versions in the lab.

(HALIFAX, NS) Steven Randall, of the UNB Reds men's volleyball team, was named top performer in the Atlantic region finals of the 2018 RBC Training Ground competition.
Randall beat 99 other regional qualifiers.
"I feel I performed well, however it definitely was not my best performance," said Randall. "I was in the top seven for five of the six events, the sprint being the only event I wasn't on the leader board (top 8) for."
"That being said, I gave it my all and am extremely happy with the overall result."
The RBC Training Ground is a talent identification and athlete funding program designed to uncover athletes with Olympic potential, and provide them with the high-performance sport resources they need to achieve their podium dreams.
Randall was selected as the top performer at the regional final, in Halifax, by a committee of coaches, talent identification representatives and Training Ground team members. Each athlete was scored in six events covering four testing areas – speed, strength, power and endurance.
Randall, about to begin his third year with the Reds men's volleyball team, was shocked to learn he'd earned top spot.
"I listened as all the medals for the individual events were handed out. I knew I didn't win any of the individual events, and because of that I really didn't think I had a chance at the overall award," said Randall. "As I listened to my name get called I just sat there for a second in shock. It wasn't until I was in the car, on the way home with my Dad, talking about the day, that it really started to kick in what had happened."
While the result surprised Randall, news of the accomplishment hardly surprised Dan McMorran, long-time head coach of the Reds men's volleyball team.
"I'm not surprised at all with his result," said McMorran. "Steve is an impressive all-round athlete who I feel has always had the potential to excel in a variety of sports. We have a team filled with outstanding athletes, and this has contributed to the success our program over the past several seasons."
Asked what happens next, Randall says he's awaiting word from Training Ground organizers.
"I've been told that I'll be receiving a number of e-mails in the next few days which hopefully will enlighten me on what is to come," said Randall. "I believe that more sport specific testing is to take place and, hopefully, some funding for my athletic endeavors will be coming in too."
According to the RBC Training Ground web site, selected athletes from the regional finals will be further identified for additional testing with various national sport organizations. Once the next level of analysis is complete, as many as 30 athletes from across the country will receive assistance that will be used for travel, nutrition and coaching. Those funds are administered by the Canadian Olympic Foundation and the select national sport organization.
"It's fantastic to see one of our players get an opportunity of this magnitude," said McMorran.
As for his Olympic dream, Randall is cautious.
"Everyone dreams of representing their country on the biggest stage in sport, but it was something that I never thought was realistic."
The results of the past weekend might indicate otherwise.
In the meantime, Randall and his Reds teammates are focused on their upcoming season.
UNB hosts the Winnipeg Wesmen on October 10th and 11th in a pair of exhibition matches.
Game time both nights is 7:00pm.

Many homes have a reverse osmosis machine for filtering their drinking water. These are normally located under a sink. The purpose of them is to remove minerals and contaminants from the water to make the water cleaner to drink. By necessity the small tubes and connections that make up the reverse osmosis filter system in Oceanside flood damage are made of plastic so that the system doesn't "eat" away at the tubing if they were metal, copper, or another hard material. These tubes many times bust or fail or break or get disconnected, causing flooding within the home.
The main steps for cleaning up a flood or wet cabinets or flooded kitchen from a reverse osmosis filtration system are as follows and detailed below:
1. Shut off the water.
2. Clean up the standing water
3. Check all affected materials and areas for flooding and water damage
4. Setup air movement and dehumidification for drying the areas
5. Rebuild any areas that need to be rebuilt
6. Consider eliminating the reverse osmosis machine, using a flood plan underneath it, or replacing it with another system when all is completed in order to guard against a future flood
1. Shut off the water. If this is caught quickly the easiest thing to do is to shut off the water at the valve near the machine. Normally the machines are in a kitchen area so follow the line to the wall and look for a turn off valve. Alternatively, there is usually a main shutoff valve for the building in the garage, near a hot water heater, or along the exterior of the building. Additionally, there is almost always a shutoff valve for the building at the curb near the road that the City of Oceanside has installed.
2. Clean up the standing water. It is important to eliminate the majority of the water so that it doesn't seep into other areas. Call us and we can take of it for you. 619.597.2003. We would use high powered flood extractors to remove the water and to check in areas that may not be obvious like under cabinets, behind dishwasher, under washing machines, etc.
3. Check all affected materials and areas for flooding and water damage. Some of this can be done visually and with checking with a hand for moisture. But the best way is to check with moisture meters and infrared cameras that can "see" behind areas and behind walls for trapped or hidden moisture that needs to be dried out to guard against mold damage.
4. Setup airmovement and dehumidification for drying the areas. Use the correct amount of airmovers and dehumidifiers. Standard home dehumidifiers will not suffice. Low grain dehumidifiers and/or desiccant driers are needed to get things like flooring, cabinetry, hardwood flooring, carpeting, drywall, etc dried to normal levels. We would size this correctly for the level of flood and leave equipment necessary to dry it quickly. We also check this equipment daily along with daily moisture readings of all affected areas in order to ensure proper drying. Adjustments would be made daily on the amount of equipment, placement of equipment, and remediation method in order to dry the home out from the flood damage. We also use techniques to minimize damage and save the homeowner or insurance company thousands of dollars in unneeded construction repair and time needed on-site.
5. Rebuild any areas that need to be rebuilt. We have techniques to save the homeowner and/or insurance company thousands of dollars on unneeded construction by being about to dry in place cabinets, carpets, drywall, hardwood floors, etc. In the event that there are areas that cannot be saved then the next step is to rebuild them. We can help with this work.
6. Consider eliminating the reverse osmosis machine, using a flood plan underneath it, or replacing it with another system when all is completed in order to guard against a future flood. Reverse osmosis machines are notorious for flooding. There are options to help guard against this even if you still choose to keep a machine. A plumber can be consulted for your options. We can also give you an overview of your options to give you a "bird's eye view."
If you have a reverse osmosis water filtration flood in a kitchen or other areas in your home from an Oceanside, CA water damage, give us a call at 619.597.2003 for 24/7 emergency services and can be on-site in most areas of the County within 1 hour or less. We can take care of the work from start to finish and guide you through the process and insurance needs. Our services include water, fire, and mold remediation and associated reconstruction services. 619.597.2003 is our phone number.

"The incorporation of Print media ultimately, hands down, is the driver that gets the customer in the door."
How to get a higher return on your advertising investment
The car business has always been a red or green business when it comes to advertising. After losing about 17,000 new-and-used car dealerships, the auto industry, plus many of the advertising mediums are having to change business models to cope with the changing economic platform. If you plan on being one of the surviving dealerships then you will be re evaluating and changing your advertising model of the future.
I just recently moved out of a very profitable and thriving Car Dealership, which I worked in, for the past 3 years, and in the car bizz for 14 years.. We had a very objective plan in the way advertising was done, and in the long run … we made more money in the recession, than we made before the hard times hit. Many dealerships adopted the plan of either: "no advertising" or "only digital Advertising". Our Model was: spread the money out evenly to all mediums, and because print/media prices had dropped so drastically we could advertise everyday,in print and radio and t.v., and it was ( and still is) cheaper than ever, and we could showcase our name and products at minimal prices. So effectively, while our competitors put all their eggs in one basket, and only captured the Internet audience, we were in every medium that the auto shopper was.
I have found that most dealerships have partially gone back to traditional print advertising because of the falling prices, for example, a 30-day ad spot price dropped about 50%,therefor allowing car dealers more circulation for less dollars. Plus, given the troubles that Japan's automakers have had, not to mention the lingering consumer worries over Toyota's recall last year, car makers and dealers may be able to seize an opportunity to grab more market share, through all mediums of advertising.
According to Automotive Marketing Online Publication of "Negotiating the curves", overall spending maybe stagnant, but automakers and dealers will continue to shift it among media channels. They estimate online ad spending by the entire automotive industry will be 2.98 billion this year, as advertisers big and small try to make every dollar count.
What does your current Print advertising budget Look like?
This was the OLD Model.
Now New Models Are Imperative to reach the more than 5.6 million auto shoppers.
Taken from " Business case for Internet Sales leads_.. Dealix Publication
What do the experts say
According to the media giants, print circulation declined worldwide last year but was more offset by an increase in digital audiences (according to the WAN-IFRA). Media consumption patterns vary widely across the globe. For advertisers, print publications are more time efficient and measurably effective than other media. Print still reaches more people than the internet, and digital advertising revenues are not compensating for the ad revenues lost to print. Although JD Power found that 88% of new vehicle buyers will visit automotive websites before going into a dealership for a test drive, on a typical day print media reaches 20 percent more people worldwide than the Internet ever reaches. When factoring in total readership (easily measured by print), print media reaches 2.3 billion people every day, the Internet only 1.9 billion. Paul Taylor of NADA agrees that "the internet will continue to gain popularity as a device for consumers to educate themselves about cars and trucks, new or used."
So, if the education of the consumer comes from the Interent, where does the sale come from?
According Fred Bonebrake, "The incorporation of Print media ultimately, hands down, is the driver that gets the customer in the door. Electronic Media opens the sale and Print Media closes it."
Most popular websites have Print Media-Generated Content
Social media is changing the concepts and processes of content gathering and dissemination A Google exec defended the company's use of print newspaper-generated content on its website and maintained that the search engine isn't profiting from newspapers' newsgathering efforts. "We are not making money on the back end of newspapers," Stefan Tweraser, head of Google Germany, said last week's Editors Forum. He said Google spends $6 billion for news content and news services. He further states that "Google News lives because we have 50,000 partners with whom we share our revenues."
The Internet giant, Google recognizes the importance of incorporating print media in their worldwide campaign, a business model that should now turn into the HYBRID ADVERTISING MANTRA for Auto Dealers, a model for revenue share from digital to print.
"We now can have a doubly effective offspring of two unlike animals which produces an advertising mantra powered by more than one source." I call it Hybrid Advertising Mantra for Car Dealerships, and auto media outlets.
The Hybrid Advertising Animal
The new Hybrid animal is a combination of targeted print and digital business models which will use paid content and a totally new revenue sharing advertising dollars. According to Larry Kilman, Deputy CEO of WAN-IFRA, the "two media are complementary, so it isn't a question of one squashing the other. Some things work better in digital and others in print – people access the two platforms at different times and under different circumstances. Although digital is having an impact on traditional media – as it is in all industries – we think print works quite well for advertisers and reader/shoppers alike."
Digital vs. Print Stats
"55% of dealership visitors reveal their reason for making the trip to the store was primarily due to a print or online newspaper ad," according to Art Spinella, CNW Research, "when it comes to the final push to get folks into the dealership, the old stand-by continues to reign." Among the other categories for auto shoppers, Web influence has claimed to be 20 percent of shoppers that were pulled into the dealership,and spot TV was at 10 percent, and Yellow Pages were about 5.6 percent.
In conclusion
Digital audience is not a different audience from print; we have the same shoppers using a formula to process the car buying experience. The buyer goes through 3 stages of consideration; each of the stages can be effectively "won" if the right media partner is in place.
First, when it comes to establishing your presence, print media has turned into the "feet on the street" for the auto dealer, much like a company having a sales force in "the neighborhood."
The print media is delivered and/or bought inside your community, and secondly, invites consumers to engage digitally through cell phones, I-pad, lap tops, and desk top use, to visit your web site by the use of QR codes, and social media ( FB , or Twitter) icons, online reviews and web URLs.
Then auto shoppers will cruise your FB, Twitter, and You Tube accounts to check your reputation and, hopefully, join your community.
Last, this ties your advertising together by inventing your own "dealership neighborhood effect," while getting fans to interact and share your sites with other friends, thus multiplying your social dollars.
Surprisingly, the NY Times announced the sale of their Regional Media Group, to Halifax for 143 Million dollars. In a statement, Michael Redding, chief executive officer of Halifax Media, said: "The purchase of the Regional Media Group reflects Halifax Media's belief that a good newspaper is an essential part of any vibrant community. The strong local news coverage these papers provide represents not only an important community service, but, in our eyes, a good investment."
Incorporating print ads, make Internet marketing a complete Hybrid Solution.
Basically, according to Fred Bonebrake of Break Through Direct, "Digital media opens a sale and print media will close the sale. There is no advertising channel that works over another – completely and on its own merit."
They work together; cross-channeling the Hybrid mantra is the best way to drive customers to buy at your dealership.
Radio and TV spots help a consumer form an impression of the dealership; the digital online media builds a long-term "brand equity," public relations (or reputation), product knowledge, and marketing for the dealer.
The incorporation of Print media ultimately, and hands down, is the driver that gets the customer in the door.
It is the final piece of the Hybrid Advertising Mantra.
I have personally been in a dealership and seen this model at work, each month we would continue to climb, with weekend traffic from store and on the phone being driven by print adsin books and newspapers, plus radio and TV spots. Online traffic seemed to rise during the weekday hours with leads, phone calls and requested quotes from the Internet.
Suggested Model to save your dealership! Hybrid Advertising.

OK so I want to build a camper trailer and I can't seem to find any info on how high I can go up.
This is what I have to work with: I am a disabled veteran and my wife has cancer and she wants to travel from California to Maine on the road using our van and towing a camper. So I got a pop up camper that is in rough shape and would (to start) require 1200 dollars to replace the canvas and screens and windows. Then another couple hundred to replace the missing doors. So I am thinking I will build a trailer box onto the frame and make a small rolling camper.
I am 6'1" so I would like to be able to stand up in it so the trailer is 9.25 feet long and 6.5 feet wide. Can I go up to 6'2" for height? And can I lift the suspension and put a taller tire/wheel to make it easier to pull? I also have an old Aristocrat lo liner but it needs a total rebuild as it sat in a field for 12+ years and the tires are rotted right off the wheels and the wheels are rusted badly also the lo liner is approximately 5' 7" inside from floor to ceiling. But I can salvage it for doors, windows, stove, sink, bed frame (maybe) And then I have (for parts) a boat trailer with 14" wheels/tires & suspension to salvage from.

Great research piece from the creators of a medium that shaped the trends of the music industry in the 80's and 90's and was influential among Boomers.
When it launched to a generation of baby boomers in the early 1980s, the "M" in MTV stood for "music" — but based on some new research, the letter now stands more for "Millennials," the generation that is reshaping today's consumer and media markets, and even MTV itself. While it's no surprise that the Viacom network has been refocusing on the current youth market, it's also allowing today's youth to refocus MTV, both from the outside in, and the inside out.
On the outside, MTV has just completed one of the most in-depth studies of the work habits of Millennials, the findings of which may surprise some. On the inside, it is using that research — and some seemingly counterintuitive organizational strategies — to transform its own workplace, in an effort to remain relevant with a generation MTV believes will reshape everything about, well, everything.

A Scalable and Sustainable Approach to Open Access Publishing and Archiving for Humanities and Social Sciences
Rebecca Kennison, Lisa Norberg, KN Consultants, 2014/12/05
I'm not really sure how much I support this - the idea of centralizing the system does not really appeal to me - but anything is better than the current system, and the proposal does address the problems inherent in the open access model based on individual payments made by researchers to publishers. By contrast, the proposal authors write, "Our model, in contrast, asks tertiary institutions to contribute to systemic support of the research process itself, including its entire scholarly output — whether article, monograph, dataset, conference presentation, multimodal Web site, or format not yet envisioned. Our model looks to societies to play a central role within the scholarly communication ecosystem, and for academic libraries to become true partners with them." A white paper (83 page PDF) is available.
Community Radio Continuous Improvement Toolkit, Version 2.0
Vinod Pavarala, Kanchan K. Malik, Vasuki Belavadi, Aditya Deshbandhu, Preeti Raghunath, Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia (CEMCA), 2014/12/05
Regular readers of OLDaily know how much I love radio, and community radio has to be one of my favourite versions of the medium. The primary purpose of community radio is to provide access to all to the public airwaves. To do this they "promote access to media facilities and to training, production and distribution facilities as a primary step towards full democratisation of the communication system" and "offer the opportunity to any member of the community to initiate communication and participate in programme making and evaluation, encouraging local creative talent and foster local traditions." The "are motivated by community well-being, not commercial considerations" and "promote the right to communicate, assist the free flow of information and opinions, encourage creative expression and contribute to the democratic process and a pluralist society." All that means that the process of participating in a community radio station is at least as important as the product they put on the air. This is also the model I have employed in the creation of community newspapers, and the model I follow when developing tools and systems for online learning.

For the last few years we have had a huge vegetable garden! This year however we have travelled and plan on travelling a lot this summer. We decided not to have a garden because we would be in Florida and Texas and everywhere in between and not be able to dedicate the time necessary to have a garden this year. There has been a part of myself that has been a bit sad about not caring for a garden this year. The kids have missed it too. Especially Devin.
I was in Lowe's with the kids yesterday picking out some flowers and I was drawn to the gorgeous, aromatic herbs. I just had to get everything for a sweet little herb garden. It really fed my soul to get my hands dirty and nurture some plants... I just love it and I feel *Whole* again!
Next year I plan on the biggest and best garden yet! My sweet friend Vanessa next door is going to help me and we are going to have a big garden on our property that we both care for. l look forward to that.

👋🏻👋🏻Hey, I'm Ashley👋🏻👋🏻
My husband says I am the most extra person he knows in real life, and that's pretty dang accurate so I'm not going to argue with it.
I will never turn down an invitation to go out dancing and it's even better if karaoke is involved. My sense of humor is some combination of Melissa McCarthy, Jim Gaffigan, and memes. Laughing is my favorite thing and if you make me laugh, I will immediately consider you a friend. I am obsessed with learning about personality types (I am an ENFP and a 7w8) and will talk for hours about it if you bring it up.
I got married in 2015 and my husband (Daniel) is my best friend, he makes me so happy and challenges me to become a better person every day. We also have a dog, Nora (AKA "nugget") and I think it is insane that it's possible to love an animal as much as we do.
I'm kind of from all over. I grew up in the Atlanta area, went to college in Greenville, SC, lived in Nashville for a few years, then in Charleston for a bit, and I now call Cincinnati home. I am excited to be a Midwesterner for the first time!
As much as I love to have fun, I also love my job and take what I do very seriously. Wedding photography is kind of my thing and it brings me so much joy to celebrate with awesome couples and photograph all the moments and emotions of the day.

Oculus changes shipping estimates for new orders to August.
As the demand for the Oculus Rift dev kit has kept increasing, their expected shipping date on the pre-order page has kept moving, from april to may to june. This time they've skipped July entirely, and are now stating August as the month you should expect to recieve your kit if you order today.
A little over 3 weeks ago the Oculus founder, Palmer Luckey, stated in a reddit comment that he expected all orders placed before April to ship within May. After the last shipping update Oculus seemed unlikely to meet this goal.
Palmer posted this update on r/oculus today:
Production is going well and getting faster as we go along. We're on track to deliver all the Kickstarter orders before the end of May (though the last international orders are may not reach backers til early June since some countries take a long time to move a package through).
We'll start fulfilling website pre-orders in late May / early June. It's impossible to give exact dates/numbers when we're dealing with so many moving parts, but if you ordered in 2012, we expect you'll have your kit in June. If you're placing an order today, the wait will definitely be a little longer. Our order rate keeps going up, we had a lot more orders last month than previous months; We just updated our website to reflect that current pre-orders will not ship until August (we hope that we can scale up our production to deliver units even faster as the line gets longer).
Sorry I was off in the last shipping post!
Yours truly will be following closely to see if they manage to get through kickstarter rewards within May, as I am at the front of the pre-order queue. Fingers crossed.

Reviews For Child of Dying Embers
Name: Gabriel (Signed) · Date: December 07, 2017 4:29 · For: Flicker
Great first chapter!
For someone who was thirteen at the time this is a wonderful concept to explore.
You could go a long way with this arafinwean.
I'd run with it! But it's your great idea!
Thank you for sharing this. :)
Author's Response: Ah! You're too kind! It is an interesting idea I will admit but I worry I do not have the skills to give it the story it deserves. I think I will stick with it though, it's been nagging me for quite a while after all.
Name: Spiced Wine (Signed) · Date: December 05, 2017 21:53 · For: Flicker
Well, I would keep going with this, why not? I write a Sauron's son OMC after all :) I know you said that you'd revamped it from when you wrote it, but even so it is a wonderful idea for thirteen year old (I was still writing girl-and-her-pony stories when I was that age :)
Author's Response: Ha! Well thank you! I think I might keep at it, Lachrien has grown on me, my only concern now is where I'm going to find names for the Balrogs in the next chapter :) Also Vanimore is a wonderful OMC! I think he might be one of my favorites! Not gonna lie though, when I was thirteen I was still writing girl-and-her-pony stories too, this idea came when I first read skimmed through the Silmarillion.

54. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon
I took Outlander when it turned up at the Little Free Library nearest me. I'd been meaning to see why it's so popular, especially after the TV show came out. Not enough to get it until it was right in front of me, though. I haven't seen the show, and I'm not especially eager to now, but if it came on a channel I was watching, I wouldn't say no.
That's kind of how I feel about the book. It's amusing, it's engaging--I'm one of those people who finds the idea of a 1940s woman who suddenly ends up in the 1740s interesting--but it doesn't go anywhere I especially appreciate with it, on an intellectual level anyway. Outlander, in my opinion, is extremely well-done costume drama *cough* erotica *cough*. For those purposes, it serves admirably. Gabaldon creates a convincing atmosphere of 1740s Scotland and a compelling chemistry between Claire, the 1940s English nurse, and Jamie, the 1740s Scottish outlaw laird. As a cherry on top, Gabaldon's rendering of Scottish accent into dialogue is actually pretty likable. I enjoyed imagining how all those "wouldnas" and "wee lassies" would sound. But, since I'm not a member of that culture, I don't know if that would be offensive or not. Anyway, if you want to dream of hunky Scottish men in kilts, this is your book. If you have more of an interest in time travel and history--meh.
55. Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jeanine Capó Crucet
My mom and I went to hear her read at a local author event, and Mom got the book for me. I was especially excited because she read a section about writing centers, and I really enjoyed hearing about how the book came about. One of the comments she made that resonated as I was reading was how, as a college counselor, her students asked her for a novel about first generation college students. There weren't any...so she thought, I have to write it!
This is really that book. I imagine a lot of first generation college students relate, and as someone who works with a lot of first generation college students, especially students from immigrant families, it's both familiar and informative for me. I wasn't overwhelmed by the Ariel Hernandez (read: Elian Gonzalez) subplot, but it was interesting to get a Cuban-American perspective on that. It was strange to me though that the white people in the book were all like "obviously, he should go back home!" because that's not at all what I heard from most of the white or other people around me, but interesting. Really, though, I would recommend this book to first generation college students and people who are interested in that experience.
The message of the book is a bit depressing (it's not a secret, it's in the title), but raw and honest. We're all making our homes among strangers, but I hope someday we can conceive of ourselves more as belonging in many places rather than fitting in none.
56. Blood and Iron by Elizabeth Bear
I started Elizabeth Bear with the Eternal Sky trilogy, since that came out right when I first started hearing about her. While I've read a lot about her other works, I finally dived into the Promethean Age this month.
My observations from Eternal Sky and what I've heard about her work in general rings true here: Bear just throws you right in the deep end. You will spend the first several pages desperately trying to figure out what the heck is going on. You'll pick it up, but then it will get harder from there. You won't fully ever understand what's happening, but it will start to become so immersive you won't care.
To me, Blood and Iron is not so much a book as an exquisite smorgasbord of Celtic myth, faerie tale, and dark imagination. It's like Bear mixed it all up, threw it all in, and it just...works. It's unconventional, it doesn't all make sense, but it's so lovely and (if you're like me), you're just so happy to have kelpies and Morgan le Fey and the Weyland Smith all inhabiting the same space that you'll forgive any inconsistencies and callousness. I definitely think I detect a Mists of Avalon influence, and probably lots more I'm missing. Bear must be prolifically read in Celtic myth. Tam Lin is the most overt, but, really, everything.
Recommended to the special readers who live for the deep swirly pools of fantasy.
57. Taming the Star Runner by S.E. Hinton
I picked this up at the Bookcrossing booth at the Gaithersburg Book Festival just because I saw S.E. Hinton's name. I have feverish memories of the other two books I read by S.E. Hinton: Opened The Outsiders to read the assigned first chapter, finished it by midnight; Found That Was Then, This Is Now lying around the house (turned out it was my sister's), finished it by midnight. Although I've waited a few months to tame Star Runner (sorry, couldn't resist), I opened it one morning, and you guessed it, finished by midnight.
Star Runner doesn't have the same complexity as the other two books (That Was Then, This Is Now remains my favorite), but it's got similar ingredients: a writerly bad boy MC, cursing, shenanigans, and literary references. This one throws in a horse barn in Oklahoma and lots of horse riding girls (ironically, the MC Travis refuses to put girl characters in his book), but it's a reliable fast-paced story with Hinton's unmistakable spark. Also, apparently, there's a movie.
Especially recommended to teens, but older fans of Hinton's other books will enjoy this too.

Odom's next appearance is Thursday at 11 a.m.
A local high school football player is in jail after police say he stabbed his teammate.
Batavia Police say 18-year-old Antwan Odom stabbed 17-year-old Raymond Leach multiple times during a fight on Ross Street in Batavia Saturday. Officers say the fight started after Leach accused Odom of stealing his personal property.
Leach was treated at Strong Memorial Hospital and has since been released.
During his arraignment Monday, it was revealed Odom has outstanding charges in Sweden Town Court of felony aggravated DWI and misdemeanor DWAI-drug. In that incident on April 8 of this year, Odom is accused of driving under the influence with several minors in his car.
Because of those charges, Odom's bail was increased from $15,000 cash or $30,000 bond to $50,000 cash or $100,000 bond.
An order of protection was also filed because Odom lives right next door to Leach.
Odom's next appearance is Thursday at 11 a.m.
Leach is a standout football player who led the Batavia Blue Devils to back to back sectional championships in 2015 and 2016. The running back has over 1,800 rushing yards, almost 30 career touchdowns, and was the MVP of the Class B sectional title game in 2017.
Odom is a wide receiver for the football team, as well as a standout guard on the school's basketball team.

In addition to eating (a lot), drinking (a lot) and sightseeing on our Italian Getaway, we also did A LOT of
damage shopping. I'm really lucky to have a guy who loves it just as much, if not more, than I do. And just to make everyone even more jealous of our trip, I'm giving you a little peak of all the swag that was brought home from beautiful Italy.
Pucci Scarf / Il Papiro Notecards / Ferragamo Wallet
Ferragamo loafers / Various European Design Magazines
Pucci Scarf / Vatican Saint Medals / Pino Pascali print
Prada clutch (Sold out, wallet here) / Missoni throw pillow
le foglie Bikini /Streed vendor Pashmina / Dolce and Gabanna Sunnies / Colors of California flip flops (An Italian brand named after a US state!)
I wanted to restrict our souvenirs to Italian brands that were actually manufactured locally, but we did cave and make one non-Italian purchase…
Hermes belts
Yes, we bought matching Hermes belts. Poser alert! But, in our defense, we have both wanted one for a long time, and they are more difficult to purchase than you would think. The color options are limited online, and stores carry small quantities. We visited the Hermes store in Rome, and neither or our choices were in stock. Hermes produces such limited quantities of each item that it's hard to find exactly what you want, especially two. We decided to stop in the Florence store and by total coincidence they had two matching belts in our sizes and color choices (black and tan), and two Medium gold buckles! We couldn't resist! Hermes is so particular about it's brand pedigree we wern't even allowed to buy them both at the same time, they required separate transactions on every item to prevent people from buying out pieces, and then selling them off market. Crazy, huh?
In addition to all of these gorgeous items, I also brought home an additional 5 lbs that I will not be showing off. If you need me, I'll be on the treadmill for the 100th hour this month in attempt to burn off some pasta.
Buon fine settimana!

Reviews for Cypree Small Pendant
Beautiful, sleek pendants
Very happy with this pendant and the company. Initially the wrong color shade was shipped to me, and Lightopia immediately fixed the order and paid for me to return the incorrect lamps. Everything arrived timely and in excellent condition. I love these pendants, and am so glad I went for the LED option. The "frost" color gives a lovely, minimal, sleek & ultra modern feel to our kitchen remodel.

A 17-year-old boy was shot and killed by police Monday after allegedly opening fire on officers chasing him down a Santa Ana street.
A second teenager not involved in the chase was wounded.
The 17-year-old, whose name was withheld pending notification of relatives, was declared dead at Western Medical Center-Santa Ana after the 2:50 p.m. incident near Lime Street and Van Ness Avenue.
The 15-year-old bystander remained hospitalized Monday with a bullet wound in the upper leg, police said. His name also was withheld.
The shooting -- less than a block from Willard Intermediate School where classes had let out 30 minutes earlier -- was witnessed by dozens of children on their way home, prompting criticism of the officers' actions.

« Back to School Tip for Children with Food Allergies | Main | Epi-Pens and School Field Trips »
August 1, 2008
Jr. High and Letting Go
It's interesting how children grow up and parents learn to let go. I'm sure most parents have strong feelings on this topic. My most recent thoughts revolve around food allergies and Jr. High. Have you done this yet? Or does it seem so far off in the future that you tell your brain to conserve its energy and you'll worry about those thoughts when the time comes? Well, my time caught up with me…
My oldest is starting Jr. High next month, which means a new school, new staff and added independence. Gone are the days of meeting with the teacher and nurse before the school year begins to create a safe environment; a place where my child can learn and grow and have fun without thinking too much about her food allergies. No more are the days of having an educated adult in my daughter's immediate environment, a person who not only understands the severity of food allergies, but who also has a picture of my daughter in a neat little binder with bold red letters: food allergies to peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, wheat (yes, they even understand that, as far as the food allergy world is concerned, peanuts are in fact different than tree nuts).
And so my learning to let go continues…I must think outside of my perfect little elementary school box to create a safe environment for my ever-more-autonomous daughter. I will still meet the staff, school nurse included, before school begins, I will still educate the staff until I feel comfortable, I will still review with my daughter the food allergy management plan, I will still keep all lines of communication open and nurture my relationships with the school staff as the year goes on. And then I send her into the world of Jr. High, me with a little less control and her, with a little more independence.
Do I trust her? Yes! Is she educated enough to make her own decisions about what food she puts in her mouth? Yes! Is she responsible enough to carry her own Epi-Pen? Yes! Is she mature enough to react quickly in an emergency situation? Well, is she? Yes, I've taught her everything I know. Yes, she can talk me through every kind of scenario I can throw at her. But the question still nags, is she mature enough to react quickly in an emergency situation?
Am I mature enough to react quickly in an emergency situation?
And so my learning to let go continues...

Roger Drake (physician)
Roger Drake (1608–1669) was an English physician, and a minister of strong Presbyterian convictions.
He was the eldest son of Roger Drake, a wealthy mercer of Cheapside, who died in December 1651. He received his education at Pembroke College, Cambridge, as a member of which he graduated B.A. in 1628, and M.A. in 1631.[1] At thirty years of age he entered himself as a medical student at Leyden in 1638 and attended the lectures of Adolph Vorstius, Otto Heurnius, and Johannes Walaeus. He proceeded doctor of medicine there in 1639. In his inaugural dissertation[2] he defended William Harvey's theory of the circulation of the blood, and was subjected to an attack by Dr. James Primrose the following year; Drake replied.[3][4]
Drake appears to have been incorporated a doctor of medicine at Cambridge, and was admitted a candidate of the College of Physicians on 22 December 1643. He resigned his candidateship 27 November 1646, having resolved to enter the ministry.[4]
A rigid presbyterian, he was implicated in Christopher Love's plot, and was arrested by order of the council of state, 7 May 1651. With some ten or twelve others, he was pardoned for life and estate without undergoing a trial, after an outside intervention. Drake became minister of St. Peter's Cheap in 1653, was one of the intended commissioners at the Savoy conference (though did not attend after an administrative mistake), and occasionally conducted the morning exercise at St. Giles-in-the-Fields and that at Cripplegate. Towards the close of his life he lived at Stepney, where he died in the summer of 1669. Samuel Annesley preached his funeral sermon and praised his chronological writings, returning to Drake in 1673 in the preface to his sermon on William Whitaker.[4][5]
His other medical writings are Disputatio de Convulsione, Leyden, 1640, and Disputationum sexta, de Tremore Leyden, 1640.[4]
Drake was author of these religious works:
- Sacred Chronologie, drawn by Scripture Evidence al-along that vast body of time . . . from the Creation of the World to the Passion of our Blessed Saviour: by the help of which alone sundry difficult places of Scripture are unfolded, London, 1648.
- A Boundary to the Holy Mount; or a Barre against Free Admission to the Lord's Supper, in Answer to an Humble Vindication of Free Admission to the Lord's Supper published by Mr. Humphrey, London, 1653. A Rejoynder, by John Humfrey, was published the following year, as also an answer by John Timson, The Bar to Free Admission to the Lord's Supper removed.
- The Bar against Free Admission to the Lord's Supper fixed; or, an Answer to Mr. Humphrey, his Rejoynder, or Reply, London, 1656.
- The Believer's Dignity and Duty laid Open (sermon on John i. 12, 13), at pp. 433–54 of Thomas Case's The Morning Exercise at St. Giles-in-the-Fields metho-dized, London, 1660.
- What difference is there between the Conflict in Natural and Spiritual Persons? (sermon on Rom. vii. 23), at pp. 271–9 of Samuel Annesley's The Morning Exercise at Cripplegate, London, 1677, and in vol. i. of the 1844 edition.[4]

I've been spending the last dew moments listening to a record by the band Castle Worries (formerly Twelve.O.One), called "Tag And The Mulch Is Lava" and I'm really drawn into it. James Edmund Porter's lyrics are amazing as always and the musical crafting is more than just songwriting, it's pure artistry.... sometime I don't see much of anymore. Long story short, it's really good and it makes me think. I'm at home in NC for a brief stop on my way back from vacation. Kristin and I are getting ready for bed she's reading and I'm listening to the aforementioned album and blogging. For the first time tonight I sensed the fragility of life in this house. It's been a long time since I've seen my parents and they've changed a lot in the last few months. It makes me want to spend more time in this house, in these walls. It makes me wish I'd appreciated more of those moments growing up with my mother and father. One day they will leave this earth and I will see them again inside the gates of eternity with our Lord and Savior. It doesn't make thinking about them leaving any easier. I'm so grateful for the example of Godly parents. I pray I can set the type of example for my future children that my parents set for me. I've been so blessed. Thank you God for the life You've blessed me with.
"and then how the wind came,it was lost, first the string snapped,
then the tail was cut off,
the kite had caught flight,
but it crashed in the jaws,
of that tree that taught me what failure was…"
- Castle Worries

Because of immigration laws such as SB 1070 and current immigration policies, some Valley families find themselves suddenly divided and instant members of an expanding social status commonly referred to as mixed-status families.
Mixed-status families include members with different immigration statuses. Some are U.S. citizens, others legal residents and others are undocumented. The dynamic could be constantly changing as well.
A total of 16.6 million people live in mixed-status families — with at least one unauthorized immigrant — and a third of U.S. citizen children of immigrants live in mixed-status families, the Center for American Progress reported in "How Today's Immigration Enforcement Policies Impact Children, Families, and Communities."
According to that same study, "The number of immigrants removed has steadily risen, from close to 190,000 deportations in 2001 to close to 400,000 per year in the past four years. Even more troubling, in the first six months of 2011 alone, more than 46,000 parents of U.S. citizen children were deported."
"Husbands and wives who are being separated, parents are being separated from their children and in most cases these kids don't even know another country, like Mexico, for example," said Phoenix Immigration Attorney.
Cynthia Diaz, a 17-year-old honors high school student and a U.S. citizen is a prime example of how the system has taken a toll on her family.
"The most difficult part is having to fill her spot. I don't have a lot of free time. When I come home I do my homework, do my chores, cook for my family then do more homework," Diaz said.
Over a year ago, her mother was deported. Every other member of the Diaz family was either born here or had gained legal status. Her mother attempted to gain residency, but before that could happen, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents caught up with the woman and arrested her.
Meanwhile, Diaz said she has had to assume the mother role to her younger siblings and care for the household, while her father earns a living.
"I cry secretly, I don't want to let my dad know that I am weak," Diaz said.

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, Feb 21: The PHE workers have geared up their activities in view of coming two days' strike (Kam Chhorh Hartal) on February 27 and 28.
These employees under the banner of PHE Workers Welfare Association (Jammu Province) have declared the two days' strike programme. The senior members of the Association including Subhash Verma, Ram Labhaya, Manzoor Ali, Surinder Kumar, Kulbhushan Nanda and others alleged that despite several representations to the higher authorities, the Government has failed to resolve the pending issues of daily rated, casual/ need based/ CP workers and other permanent employees.
No policy has been framed for regularization of these workers, pending wages have not been cleared, moreover, DPC has not been conducted since long for all cadre. It was also stressed upon the authorities to create welfare fund and higher grade posts besides change of designation of posts as per their nature of job.
Meanwhile, several senior Association members led by Subhash Verma today visited several PHE Sub Divisions and other unit offices at New Plot, Janipur, Muthi, Roop Nagar, Shakti Nagar, Barnai, Bakshinagar and Rajpura here and created awareness among the workers about the protest/ strike programme of 24 hours on Feb 27-28. They appealed the workers to actively participate in two day strike programme.
Verma said that Associ-ation does not want to take such direct and unwanted action but it is the State Govt, who has forced them to do so. He further said that the Govt which could not arrange month wise wages of the workers, how it can be trusted that it will regularize the daily rated workers. He further said that the demands of the permanent employers like constitution of welfare fund scheme, creation of higher scale posts, change of designations of employees and conducting of PPC meeting in time found manners, could not be given proper attention by the authority concerned.

The fake news story of the week had to be Rachel Maddow's epic failure on MSNBC Tuesday night. She was going to blow the lid off the Trump presidency. She got her hands on Donald Trump's tax return and boy was she excited! After a full day of breathless announcements hyping the show, complete with a "Trump's Tax Returns" countdown clock, at last the moment had come. At 9 PM, Maddow took her seat and after much huffing, puffing, and innuendo about "Russian oligarchs," she finally revealed the scandalous details - that twelve years ago Mr. Trump paid $38 million in taxes on $150 million in earnings, and the IRS found no wrongdoing whatsoever with his returns. STOP THE PRESSES!!!!
CSA Founder Stephen Flanagan discusses "Effective Political Action."
"Do not blame Caesar, blame the people of Rome who have so enthusiastically acclaimed and adored him and rejoiced in their loss of freedom and danced in his path and given him triumphal processions.
Blame the people who hail him when he speaks in the Forum of the "new wonderful good society" which shall now be Rome's, interpreted to mean "more money, more ease, more security, and more living fatly at the expense of the industrious".
- Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC)
"It does not take a majority to prevail - but an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men."
-- Samuel Adams
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children
and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."
-- Ronald Reagan
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism,
they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened".
-- Norman Thomas
Socialist Candidate for President of the United States 1944
