Most people have never heard of the Languedoc AOC region in Southern France despite that it has the largest area planted under vines in the world (a whopping 736,000 acres). A great many more than Burgundy and Bordeaux and yet it is not counted among the great wine regions. Even though wine has been produced in Languedoc for more than 2000 years, until recently, much of it has been ordinary table wines that didn't speak of the character of the region.
Until now that is. The Languedoc AOC is blessed with every major factor needed to make great wine: soil, wind, sun and sea. Most importantly, there is a distinguishing characteristic that makes these wines special: garrigue. What the what?? Yes, garrigue, it is simply the name of Languedoc's special terrior. A low-lying Mediterranean scrub brush in the south of France, garrigue are plants like holm oak, juniper and wild herbs like rosemary and thyme. This unique terroir lends mineral, green and herby aromatics and flavors to the wines grown there.
Bauer has always been a fan of the wines of Languedoc and with a partnership with L'Aventure Languedoc, we were able to showcase them at the last two Saturday afternoon tastings. As the crowds gather around the tasting table and our charming host, Stephane, talked about the wines an excitement began to build. Stephane sold bottle after bottle and we kept hearing how great the wines tasted. We knew that once people tried the wines from this region they were sure to buy. All of them are still available at the store for you!
The wines we tasted:
2011 Chateau Saint Martin La Garrigue Picpoul de Pinet
We admit it. The Bauer staff loves Picpoul. This one is vibrant and well-balanced with floral, white peach, fresh lemon and mandarin. Saint Martin has this briny component to the wine that just screams for fresh seafood!
2011 Domaine Felines Jourdan Picpoul de Pinet
A much different Picpoul than the first one, Felines is one of my favorites we have had in the store. Judging by how much we sell of it, it seems to be a favorite among our customers too. Felines is perfect with its full-flavored aromas of flowers, citrus fruits, aniseed and fennel. In the mouth, one finds plenty of that typical acidity of Picpoul de Pinet. The wine stays on its lees 3 months before filtration and bottling for additional umph.
2009 Torques et Clochers Limoux Chardonnay
A crowd favorite and sold out during the first tasting! Languedoc Chardonnay is fresh and chalky with fresh lemon, pears and yellow apple aromas. The light touch of oak gives the wine a pleasing butter toast element that balances out the acidity nicely.
2010 Chateau Coupe Roses Minervois (Minervois sub-region)
A red blend of Grenache, Carignan and Syrah that expresses dark berries, violet, espresso and sweet oak in the nose and gives flavors of currant, chocolate, pepper, meat and leather. The ripe tannins make this a great wine to go with grilled meats.
2010 Chateau de la Liquiere Faugeres
This wine is a great example of the traditional style Faugeres AOC with its blend of Carignan, Grenache, Syrah and Mouvedre. The elegant tannins give way to a wine with lovely spice and old-vine Carignan notes of cigar smoke, leather and licorice. La Liquiere is a complex wine with attractive dry texture and maturing fruit.
2008 La Sauvageonne Pica Broca
One hearty Syrah and the sleeper hit of the first tasting! A ripe wine with sweet, dark fruits, black olive and licorice notes. The richness and density gave a great expression of the garrigue terroir with its spicy layers of rosemary and thyme. Since the La Sauvageonne is lightly oaked there is just a touch of vanilla cream that rounds out the wine so nicely.
2007 Les Verrieres Coteaux de Languedoc
This is a bold red comprised of Syrah, Grenache and Carignan. You'll taste a quartet of darks—dark cherries, dark plum, dark chocolate and dark coffee. The finish is long; the chocolate seems to hang on forever. But the tannins have even greater stamina, tingling your gums long after the chocolate has disappeared.
2009 Yannick Pelletier L'engoulenvent Saint Chinian
A blend of Grenache, Carignan, Syrah and Cinsault. 20% of it is aged in one and two year French oak barrels. L'engoulenvent displays aromatic notes of blackberry, cassis with some resin, pine and rubber on the nose. Definitely has some ripe and meaty fruit with some darker fruit components of black cherry, raspberry and plum with prominent herbaceous, black licorice and smoky mineral notes. Also, there were some funky green vegetables that made this one stand out in the crowd.
So there you have it! Languedoc wines: great wines with unique terroir at prices everyone can afford.

I know you'll reap endless benefit from your complimentary membership and enjoy the best tips, techniques, tools, books, programs and retreat offers."
I'm so happy to tell you that my latest book in the Life and Business by Design series is live on Amazon. 7 Powerful Steps To Success @ Amazon
Why I Decided To Write A Book SeriesA few weeks ago I got the idea into my head that now is the best time for me to share the knowledge I've gleaned over the years so I've decided to write just for you two series of books over the coming months that will help you to identify your true goals and figure out the best way you can get to goal.
Life and Business by Design series will bring you metaphysical and practical dynamic solutions to getting closer to living the dream. You can begin with the first book in the series '7 Powerful Steps To Success'.
You Can Live The Dream
How you feel is so important and your mindset is integral to the way you live your life. If you have ever thought about how your life could be. You know what I mean, free time and how you'd spend it, the holidays you'd take, the house you'd live in and even the kind of business you'd have. In fact have you ever dreamed about increasing your income by x3, x7 even by x10 times more than you currently earn and truly living life on your terms?
I used to think like that and feel cheated, until I began to learn about personal development and the amazing results I could achieve.
How about you do you push your dreams onto the back burner telling yourself you'll come back to your dreams when life is better or worse still do you compromise and choose mediocrity.
To help you move those limiting thoughts out of your brainbox here's a couple of ideas to keep you moving forward.
More Is Available To You
When you think you can't have a better lifestyle then you are right. If you think you can't drop the weight, improve your career prospects, increase your income and have optimal health then again you are right. You see by focusing your thoughts on the idea of limit and poverty then your are feeding your subconscious mind to create less.
The only way to improve your circumstances and prospects is to widen your thoughts and take a quantum leap towards what you want.
A quantum leap is not about trying to take your life to the next level, no, it's about stepping out of your comfort zone and going for the goal. Of taking a calculated risk to do more, to be more and to have more. To do that you need a focused plan of action and a hunger in your belly to succeed.
My Message To You Today
Living a lifestyle by design requires mindful awareness of where you are now together with the skills you have and what you need to do in terms of planning the actions to take and the skills to use as well as learning what you don't know that will get you to goal.
Success is not easy. Success is the result of effort and continued application.
If you haven't already done so go over to Amazon and download my latest book '7 Powerful Steps To Success' a tool that will enhance your lifestyle and guide you towards creating a business and lifestyle by design.

So much god-talk strikes me as little more than sentimental fancy or the projection of our own prejudices onto the cosmos. A lot rhetoric about god sounds like an "opiate of the people" as Karl Marx famously charged. As such, it is ephemeral and hard to hold onto.
But, then there is the cross. If, as Christians profess, God, in some mysterious way, hung on a particular cross in a particular time and a particular place, there is something to hold onto. The idea that the One at the heart of it all - the creator and sustainer of all things - entered into the physical reality of sin, suffering, and death and addressed that reality on the cross is what creates and sustains my ability to believe in God at all. The cross anchors me. It keeps my faith from becoming detached from the hard realities of this life. It also anchors God in the sense that it gives God a basic definition that challenges all expressions of faith as flights of fancy. Whatever else we might say about God, if it neglects the reality of the cross, it not really God we are talking about.
Be sure to also check out the quotes Fr. Matt shares on the centrality of the cross for authentic Christian faith.

The skin care company Clean & Clear is one of the most well-known skin companies in the world. They have packaged a specific group of products to form a skin care kit that's affordable and easy to purchase. I'm referring to the Clean and Clear Advantage kit. The products are actually available at various local retailers including grocery stores, pharmacies and more. This acne kit specifically targets acne breakouts. The ingredients that most of these products contain successfully reduce pore size, remove dead skin, reduce oil presence, and help to destroy other negative factors that lead to acne forming.
The parent company that owns this brand is known as Johnson & Johnson, and they stand behind their Clean and Clear Advantage acne line. In fact, this company has been the leading manufacturer in many sectors within the health and beauty market. The company as withstood the depression and other economic downturns given that it was founded over 100 years ago in 1886. There are many products that are in this line which can certainly help improve your skin.
Clean and Clear Advantage (Product Information)
Most people searching for this product are going to end up on the company website. Contrary to most companies, you are not able to purchase the product online via the official company website. Don't be alarmed, though, the company does provide links to third party websites for those that are interested in purchasing the products online. They also provide information on local retailers that stock the kits.
Before you go buying the Clean and Clear Advantage kit from just anywhere, I suggest that you take a look around online for some discount opportunities that exist. There is a good chance that you can find offers that include free shipping, coupons, BOGO opportunities and more. It's a great benefit for those that are interested in improving their skin and destroying acne while on a limited budget. Of course, the price points of this product will vary depending on the retailer and location. However, the products are typically between $6 and $20 per product.
Assuming that you want to take a more customized approach to a skin care regimen, then you might want to take a few moments to read some of the Clean and Clear Advantage product reviews. I always recommend that you read as many product reviews as possible if you want to better understand the most optimum way to beat acne for good. That said, it's also important to understand that people's skin reacts differently to individual products. So, if you're treating your skin with the same process as someone else then, you might not have the same results.
I should also mention how important it is to consult with a local dermatologist before using any products that contain unfamiliar ingredients. You don't want to cause another issue with your skin on top of your already boiling acne issue. For example, before you use a product that contains salicylic acid (which some of these do) for the first time, then you need to speak with a dermatologist.
I'll cover some of the main ingredients used in the Clean and Clear Advantage products today. What I can say is that the products contain a significant number of ingredients that help fight acne. For example, one of the products within the kit is the moisturizer, which contains 5% salicylic acid. This is a very common ingredient that exists which will help you rid your body of the dead skin cells that clog pores. A few other ingredients that it contains are cetyl lactate, and Cetearyl alcohol, both of which help better condition and rejuvenate your skin.
The mark treatment product also contains salicylic acid, although at a lower percentage of 2%. It also contains an ingredient known as propylene glycol. This ingredient is said to help improve the moisture levels of your skin. I believe it's included as an ingredient due to the fact that the salicylic acid and other acne fighting ingredients tend to dry out your skin. You should read this label carefully before using the product. It does contain ingredients and fragrances which might cause people to react negatively should they have extra sensitive skin.
Some of the other ingredients that you will find in the products within this kit are:
Water, Cetyl Alcohol, Petrolatum, Zinc Lactate, Steareth-2, Carbomer Homopolymer type B, Glycerin, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Benzyl Alcohol, Sorbitan Olivate, Dimethiconol, Xanthan Gum, Benzyl Alcohol, Fragrance, Disodium EDTA, Laureth-4, BHT, Menthol, Polyacrylamide, Cetearyl Olivate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Dimethicone Glycerin C13-14 Isoparaffin, Dimethicone Crosspoly, Sodium Hydroxide and more.
If I haven't mentioned it as of yet, the three main products within the Clean and Clear Advantage kit are the Acne Control Cleanser, Fast-Acting Treatment, and the Hydrating Gel Moisturizer.
Side Effects
Just like with any other product use, there are concerns of side effects appearing. When using products that contain benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, you are putting your skin at risk of becoming further damaged. That typically goes for those that are applying the product for the very first time. It's actually rather common for a first time user to visibly notice irritation.
However, this type of reaction typically goes away eventually. Other side effects that might occur are light burning, tingling, itching, and even some peeling of your skin. If you have any concerns then I strongly suggest that you contact your dermatologist immediately. If the side effects become severe, then do not hesitate to head to the emergency room to get things further evaluated.
The most important thing to remember here is that there are many products that exist to help clear up any acne condition. What's important is that you do your research, read product reviews and carefully test out products to see how you personally react to them. In the event that you do not react positively to the treatment, you must then make the necessary adjustments and/or seek professional guidance.

Do you wish to know how you can have a clean as well as healthy freshwater fish tank that's very easy to preserve? One of the core problems after having an aquarium is its regular maintenance. It's an awful job, crucial for all fish enthusiasts but it's not as challenging as the majority of believe. This write-up is to assist you stop postpone over cleaning your aquarium and enlighten you on very easy to deal with issues related to fresh water fish tank upkeep.
Feasible interest in freshwater aquarium upkeep could be:
1. Murky water and/or drifting particles is a health hazard and needs prompt attention. Otherwise taken on early, this trouble will cause algae growth and could likewise result in condition.
2. Algae formed as a result of unclean water, uprooted plants caused by fish aiming to consume them and its waste prospers in aquariums. Too much can cause a harmful process called eutrophication. In this procedure, algae consumes oxygen in the water to disintegrate consequently lowering oxygen levels in water which will result in the fatality of the fish tanks occupants.
3. Uneven or occasional change of water results in fowl smell which is dued to the development of unnecessary microorganisms. This can be a prime breeding place for germs that can trigger disease as well as cause the fatality of your fish.
Guaranteeing easy freshwater fish tank upkeep:
– Examine your filter. Chemical filtration of unclean water using electrical power filter removes unnecessary products, particles, waste matters and contaminations. Relying on exactly how bad the water is these filters must be changed with new ones every 3 or 4 weeks. Those, who are regular in altering filters delight in much less upkeep and also are able to give healthy and balanced setting to their fish.
– Nature itself brings a solution to the inquiry of controlling algae. Algae can be eaten by fish called Plecostomus, a.k.a the fool fish. They're not the most beautiful fish in the container yet it's a fantastic and also budget-friendly means of controling algae levels in your freshwater aquarium. If keeping Plecostomus is not an option, then try putting your fish tank in an area which is not directly exposed to sunlight. This will help in decreasing algae growth. You could also get tools from your regional animal shop to get rid of algae. Ultimately, algae need to be removed from the tank to ensure a healthy and balanced system.
– Smell happens due to the growth of undesirable germs. This can happen from excessive waste matter in the water because of insufficient purification, something decaying like plants or fish or over feeding. Primary step is to take a head count of all the residents as well as see if anybody is missing out on. If all citizens are made up, then the trouble could be with filter unable to detoxify extreme waste which could be as a result of overpopulation in the container. If these are not the perpetrator, after that you may need to change the water at more regular intervals. Attempt maintaining a go to a calendar. Generally, one needs to add 10 to 15 percent new water on once a week basis. Inspect your ph degrees as well as see to it they suffice. Finally inspect the amount of food being given to the fish as fish will only consume till they are full as well as leave exactly what they do not want causing it breaking down in the water.
– Top quality as well as temperature level of water are also crucial. If you are utilizing faucet water, you will certainly need a dechlorinator to avoid fish and live plants direct exposure to excessive chlorine. Otherwise, utilize pure water available in grocery stores. Ideal water temperature level is vital. Make sure your tank temperature is the appropriate temperature before putting your fish in their aquarium.
– Siphon tube is another prominent tool utilized in cleansing filthy water for freshwater aquariums at regular periods. It is offered at regional pet dog stores and operated by placing one end of television in the fish tank and suck out the unclean water right into a pail.
– Last but not least the container itself becomes unclean over time due to climatic responses between air as well as water. Corrosion could develop near connections with filter or water inlets, etc. The dust could possibly stick to the wall surfaces of the container which should be cleaned on normal basis without making use of soap as it is poisonous for fish. A sponge as well as tidy water is all it takes.

To add a reaction, one needs to just hover over the "Like" button to see the reaction image options and then tap whichever one they would like to use. Facebook decided to add Reactions so that were more ways people could easily and quickly express their feelings. Also, when you see a post that someone has died, you no longer have to be in the awkward position of "liking" this.
In order to determine what emojis they wanted to offer, Facebook conducted research. They surveyed people to see how they would react to different emojis. They also looked at how people were commenting on posts and at the top stickers and emoticons that were being used.
But, after all, why would you want to use one of the emojis if you could use Trump's spray-tanned face or Pikachu? A new extension of the Google Chrome and Firefox browsers lets you do just this. You simply just have to install the extension and then you are free to choose which pack you would like. All the reactions remain the same though.

Good news released this afternoon that our young and ever improving center back Steven Taylor has been called up for the England B squad to play to play Albania at Burnley's Turf Moor ground on 25 May.
He joins Michael Owen -who was already in the squad for the game.
Steven Taylor
Steven Taylor is one of the successes of our sparkling youth system and he signed for Newcastle – under some fanfare – when he was just 17 when at Monkseaton High School.
Although born in Greenwich, Steven moved to Whitley Bay when he was 2 weeks old and was a ball-boy during the Kevin Keegan days.
He went to Valley Gardens Middle School with future Newcastle team-mate Peter Ramage – and then continued his education at Monkseaton High School.
Steven turned 21 last January – and has made 85 appearances for Newcastle to date – with 81 starts and 4 goals.
He has appeared for the England under 21 team a total of 14 times and scored 3 goals.
To say he is a star of the future is an understatement – and we expect Taylor to play for the full England side and eventually captain Newcastle.
We would expect James Milner to follow in his footsteps – into the full England set-up in the not too distant future.
Both James and Steven expect to be in the England under 21 squad that plays in the European Under 21 tournament in Holland this summer.
The other center backs in the party include Michael Dawson, Joleon Lescott, Nicky Shorey, David Bentley and Phil Jagielka – but it would not surprise us if Michael forces his way into the starting line up.
This morning Steven talked about wanting a new contract at Newcastle – Major Newcastle News Stories – 18th May 2007 – Taylor Unhappy? – and that he doesn't want to be messed around.
That suggests to us that Shepherd and Allardyce need to get him signed up to that new improved contract – and quickly.

Craig – I wish we could have gone the other way – and bought one of the MLS teams – like DC United – put them in black and white stripes and use them as a feeder club. There's a lot more Americans interested in real football (as contrasted to the American version) and some good youngsters coming through.
hey Ahmed, i will be honest, i can not stand spurs at all. as a matter of a fact, i dont like any of the london teams. must be the north south divide thing going on. My most hated player, well, it has to be john terry. what a dripping moaning wanka. he is now on about slapping in a transfer request as he only has been offered 115 grand week and michael bollock is on 121 grand. is he for real – what a wanka!! where the hell is he going to go in order to beat 115 f*&*(()king grand a week – not in the prem thats for sure. plus lets be honest – the spurs strip is tits isnt it. its truly shit!! bo offense intended like!

Like most cultures, coffee culture isn't any different actually. An organization of individuals brought together by a mutual interest. What better spot than the usual coffee shop. It brings in other ways, and in some respects, so many like-minded individuals this kind of variety. From businessmen to teachers, students to housewives.
Sleepy Monk Coffee is not just the word for the coffee lover, but it is more than that! Let me first start with the quick background the origin of coffee and then I will tell you more about the Sleepy Monk coffee secrets.
The source of coffee
Historically subsequently legend goes- there was an Arabian shepherd, who was herding his little flock near the southern point of the Arabian Peninsula, his name was Kaldi. He found his goats dancing (rather the gift) around a dark green leafed shrub with bright red cherries.
He determined that it was the cherries on the bush which was causing the goats to express such unusual symptoms of euphoria, and like all good pet owners, he determined to attempt the cherries himself. The effect was strong, as you could expect. Seemingly he shared the news of his discovery.
Monks at a local monastery used the amazing effect of the cherries. They used the cherries to remain alerted during extended hours of recitation and dry prayer, and finally, it was doled out all over the world to other monasteries.
Visiting the Portland
There is no sea breeze in Portland, but with two favorite shore towns only 90 minutes away, it's not difficult to land an excursion to the Pacific Ocean. Traveling west on U.S. 26, through the rich Coast Range mountains to join with U.S. 101. Head south a few miles to an artsy coastal village, Cannon Beach, or venture north to research the old school boardwalk offerings of Beachfront. Whichever you pick, you'll welcome vibes and locate beautiful seascapes.
Hence, the coffee was born.
The Cannon Beach and Sleepy Monk Coffee
Two coastal landmarks are claimed by this picturesque town: Ecola State Park and Haystack Rock. Named after a native word for "whale", Ecola State Park's expanses of rugged, forested headlands offer excellent hiking and fast access to cliff-framed Indian Beach. Only to the south, Haystack Rock that is iconic climbs 235 feet above some of the greatest tide pools on the shore and a long, sandy beach.
Lots of these businesses live in small towns, like Cannon Beach's Sleepy Monk coffee. I stop at this local coffee shop, while I take a trip to Cannon Beach. Their coffee is lined up near the counter to darkest roasts. Customers ask questions to the baristas that are well-informed and can smell and taste around eight distinct brews.
Next time you end up looking for something interesting makes an attempt to coffee tasting.
The unsurpassed liking for coffee
Well, you will find many reasons for loving or liking the coffee. Besides coffee being among the things that are an ordinary part of never-ending individuals' mornings, it additionally supplies a relaxation. If you ask if they will have more coffee afterward in the day most people that have java in the morning, the response probably will be yes. Nevertheless, lots of the time the rationale that individuals may have coffee later in the day will be for reasons that are different than when they had it. For a lot of people, coffee is part of the evening after rest dinner routine and afterward in the day is more of comfort.
Coming back to the Sleepy Monks Coffee discussion, I would only say that they are the best in the area. If you are in and around Cannon Beach, then they are worth trying.

"Wheat Batik"
I was waiting on a hillside for the evening light to improve, so I could take a shot of the town of Moscow, Idaho from Paradise Ridge south of town. It was pretty dark and I was beginning to think I wouldn't get anything good that day so I started to look more closely at the wheat stalks right at my feet. (A good lesson when looking for pictures--look at everything in your field of view, not only what you went there for!) The wheat was an interesting combination of green and gold tones--right in the transition between spring and summer. When I got home, I saw that the the dim light made color and brightness of the image kind of murky, so I played with it in Photoshop, adding filters and painterly effects, until I ended up with this enhanced image that I really like.
This photograph is available in two different proportions! The panorama photos are a 1:3 proportion rectangle, and are available in several enlargement sizes. The "full frame" photo is a rectangle with a 2:3 proportion and is also available in several sizes.

a review by D. L. Denham , in the genre(s) Science Fiction . Book published by Self Published in March 2015
Nicholas Sansbury Smith's Extinction Edge, book two in The Extinction Cycle, is a whirl-wind of action and rapid evolution! The stakes have never been higher since the Hemorrhage virus first infected humankind. Now, the transition from modern society to a surviving-society pits Beckham and his Ghost Team against their deadliest enemy yet. Can science still save the human race?
It is amazing that this series was not grabbed by a major publisher. I've read my fair share of science fiction, most with a strong military core (see my reviews for Aliens and Doom). For a series that pushes its characters through a brutal environment and constantly at military odds with hordes of Variants, the characters internally develop with both honesty and sincerity despite suffering extreme external conflict. A convincing example is Dr. Lovato's transition from a fragile natured woman into a survival-hardened scientist, all without losing the charm that impassioned Beckham.
While every good critique does provide some criticism, like mt review of the first book, this review also lacks any substantial negative remarks. Perhaps this reader is far too enthralled by the nonstop action and caught up in curiosity about how humankind could possibly survive such an aggressive virus. This is not a "slow zombie, caution, don't get infected world." Instead, the rate that the infected change—and what they are becoming—really creates excitement at the thought that this could possibly be a better story than The Walking Dead comics and TV show.
The Extinction Cycle is a planned five book series, which book three is already read and currently under review—while book four is sitting in my inbox waiting patiently to be read.

Drexel grad wins $100K for college scholarship app Scholly
Christopher Gray, who once appeared on "Shark Tank," beat out seven other startups to win the competition.
Eight startups entered, but at the end of yesterday's pitch competition at the National Constitution Center, Scholly, a mobile app for finding college scholarships, emerged the winner of $100,000 from AOL founder Steve Case.
Case was in Philadelphia for his Rise of the Rest tour, a nationwide bus trip of startup cities usually overlooked by San Francisco in the west and New York City in the east. At each of his five stops, Case is sponsoring pitch competitions for local startups, and awarding the winner of each $100,000 in convertible-note debt.
RELATED:How the app Scholly went from Drexel to 'Shark Tank'
"This has been a terrific visit," Case said. "Do what you can to make sure Philly rises faster."
Scholly, founded by recent Drexel University graduate Christopher Gray, was partly inspired by Gray's own path: out-of-state resident to Drexel student thanks to $1.3 million in scholarships. Gray's startup was the heavy favorite going in to the pitch competition, especially considering his appearance on ABC's "Shark Tank" last February.

...While listening to and recording this call, this is what the chidren had to say...
When my son asked his classmate if he had talked with Mr. Hendrix and Sargent Blasingame, he responded that yes he had. What happened? my son inquired.
Well they had taken him into the office where he had informed the sargent along with Mr. Hendrix, that our son had indeed been telling the truth. At which time the good sargent took it upon herself to inform this child repeatedly, that if he were not telling the truth she would press charges against him.
The child informed the sargent that he was telling the truth at which time Mr.Hendrix asked the child if it wasn't possible that he just THOUGHT it was the accuser he had seen do these things. Maybe Mr. Hendrix told the student, he was "mistaken." Maybe Mr.Hendrix told the student you saw somebody who LOOKED like the accuser as he Mr.Hendrix, had been looking for this young lady just the other day and saw someone who looked just like her. Maybe, said Mr.Hendrix, you are mistaken.
At this time Sargent Blasingame again threatened the young man with charges.
The young man was so upset at this point that he finally conceeded that maybe he was mistaken. The child was so scared he told my son, and the young lady on the 3 way call agreed, he was she said, shaking like a leaf, and she thought the poor kid was going to fall down!
I wondered at this point if the good sargent had threatened my son's accuser and her sole witness in the same manner that she had threatened and coersed, with the help of Mr. Hendrix, this particular child. And now I was livid!
I then got on the phone with these two children and informed them that what the sargent did was WRONG. Her job I explained, was to take the information and file a report. Not to threaten them. Or even to decide if someone were telling the truth. And that it certainly was not up to her to decide if a person who had been charged with a crime, was guilty or innocent!
I then informed them that as long as they told the truth, it didn't matter what Sargent Blasingame had threatened because the judge would be the only one to decide who was telling the truth.
I then asked the children if they would be willing to talk to our attorney and tell him the truth. All of it including what the sargent and Mr.Hendrix had said and done. They both agreed.
At this point these two children also informed me that the girl who had accused our son, had stated in front of them, and to both Mr.Hendrix and Sargent Blasingame, that our son HAD NOT touched her breast.
Dumbfounded I asked the young man if I could speak to his mother. He said she was in the shower but he would tell her what had happened and that our attorney would want to speak to him.
Well folks, to sum it up this is what we have:
1. The court date is next Wed. September 8,1999.
2. Sargent Blasingame for reasons known only to herself, has decided that our son should hang for what she perceives as his indisputable guilt.
3. Our son has missed a weeks worth of school due this witch hunt.( Incidentally the school called us yesterday to inquire as to why our son had not been attending school. No we are not making this up! )
4. Our son has received 0's straight across the board so as not to be hauled off to juvenile court!
5.We have been warned repeatedly by Sargent Blasingame that "upsetting" her has dire consequences.
6. According to the captain of the Thomaston P.D. the school is required by law ( as our son has not been suspended nor convicted of any crime ) to allow him to attend classes and must make the nesseccary arrangements to see that my son and his accuser do not come in contact with one and other.
7. Mr. Hendrix has done none of the above.
8. We have been sufficiently intimidated by the higher ups in the city of Thomaston GA., to not make a fuss. And we have decided that any and all fuss would have to wait until after the trial.
9. Most importantly, this blatent abuse of power could be happenng to someone you know!!!
I would really like to know what Sargent Blasingame and Mr. Hendrix would do if it were their child and their families who were living this nightmare.
What action would you take Sir and Madam?
We will personally take plenty after 9:00 a.m. Wedensday morning.We'll See you in court.
Well folks, to sum it up this is what we have:

Adolphe Mouron Cassandre is a painter, commercial poster and type designer. He was born in Ukraine but his parents were French. Later on he moved to Paris and studies at "Ecole des Beaux-Arts" and Académie Julian. His posters were very well known and thanks to his posters he got the possibility to work for a Parisian printing house. He was inspired by cubism and surrealism and when he won the first prize in a poster-designing contest with his work called Woodcutter in 1925. With this contest he became more recognized.
Cassandre's posters observe the new modes of luxury transport that describe the wealthy lifestyle of his day. He used stencils and an airbrush.
With this success any many other following he started his own advertising agency called Alliance Graphic by getting into a partnership. This agency was successful and had many clients in 1930s. His poster designs were outstanding for their original graphic solutions and indications to painters like Max Ernst and Pablo Picasso.
On the other hand, as well as his personal works and advertisement agency he was a graphic design professor at the École des Arts Décoratifs and then at the École d'Art Graphique.
He was also an important type designer and he knew the importance of typographic elements in poster design and because of that his agency created some new typeface styles. In 1929 he designed Biifur, in 1935 he designed the sans serif called Acier Noir and in 1937 he designed Peignot.
His works were exhibited in Museum of Modern art in New York in 1936 and this exhibition gave him the opportunity to design covers for Harper's Bazaar.
He fought in World War II and during this period his business was gone. Because of that he had to design stages and costumes for theaters in order to make a living. After the war he also returned to his profession as a painter and did some easel painting. In 1963 he designed the Yves Saint-Laurent logo.
At the last years of his life he suffered from depression and committed suicide in 1968 in Paris.
"Designing a poster means solving a technical and commercial problem….in a language that can be understood by the common man." Cassandre

Author of SB 1070, on decision to take appeal directly to U.S. Supreme Court
"Governor Brewer and Attorney General Horne announced they will petition the U.S. Supreme Court to lift a hold on the portion of SB 1070 not in effect. I fully support this decision. There is no reason to delay full implementation of Arizona's tough illegal immigration law by appealing to the full 9th Circuit. Last month, the 9th Circuit ruled 2-1 to side with foreign governments and against Arizona and its citizens in what is a clear case of state sovereignty. To appeal to the full 9th Circuit would only delay full implementation. A U.S. Supreme Court appeal is the right move.
Most of SB 1070 is in effect, including a ban on sanctuary city policies, the establishment of a state crime making it illegal to transport an illegal alien, and allowing Arizona residents to file suit against any agency for adopting policies restricting enforcement of federal immigration law. We now need to fully implement SB 1070, and the U.S. Supreme Court is the proper venue to overturn a clearly flawed lower court ruling.
• Arizona has a right to protect its citizens
• Arizona has a right to self defense under the Constitution particularly when the federal government fails to act.
• I complied with all relevant federal, state and local laws, including Arizona Constitution and the U.S. Constitution in crafting SB 1070.
• SB1070 is not preempted by federal law or the Constitution. SB1070 does not conflict with federal law, does not constitute an improper regulation of immigration and Congress has not fully occupied the field.
As recently as one week ago we had a police officer murdered and another critically wounded in Phoenix, and two homicides in Show Low involving illegal aliens. Yet where is the media on this? Where are the cheap labor and cheap vote crowd on this? Enough is enough.
Arizona has an obligation to protect its citizens from those who break our laws. We will enforce our laws with compassion but without apology. I am confident our state will prevail in this appeal."
Senate President Russell Pearce
Border Sheriffs statement on Gov. Brewer appeal
In response to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer announcing that the state will appeal the Ninth Circuit ruling on SB 1070 to the Supreme Court, Sheriffs Larry Dever and Paul Babeu, co-chairs of www.BorderSheriffs.com, released the following statement:
"We need our nation's top court to weigh in and lay the ground rules for what states can and cannot do, and we applaud Gov. Brewer for appealing to it directly. The Supreme Court must take up this issue that is critical to law enforcement efforts from Arizona to Georgia and across the country. Then all the states will have clear guidance on exactly what border security efforts they can undertake in the face of the federal government's shortfall."
Both are available for interview to discuss the appeal and www.BorderSheriffs.com which was formed to help provide Arizona sheriffs a sufficient legal defense to take on the Obama Administration, the ACLU and others opposing a secure border and enforcement of SB1070.

Eleven Republican Senators vote 'YES" on Closure, then "NO" on Confirmation for approval of former Planned Parenthood Director
For the third time, President Obama submitted John J. McConnell, Jr. to be United States District Judge for the District of Rhode Island.
Twice before, the US Senate has rejected this nominee on "Closure."
John J. McConnell, Jr. served four years as Director of Rhode Island Planned Parenthood, is a member of Amnesty International since 1989, and worked with ACORN in convincing municipalities to bring lead-paint lawsuits. McConnell pioneered the practice of "soliciting public officials to bring lawsuits in which the private lawyers are paid a percentage of any judgment or settlement."
From 1991 until present, he has been a partner and director of the Environmental practice group at Motley Rice LLC, working with state and local governments, groups, and individuals in cases of personal injury, property damage and economic loss as a result of negligent environmental practices.
For the first "ever" in its 100-year history, the US Chamber of Commerce opposed John J. McConnell, Jr., to be United States District Judge.
Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) said that there are also serious ethical
>issues with Mr. McConnell's nomination. "He has given statements to the Judiciary Committee that are misleading at best, and untrue at worse, about his familiarity with a case involving stolen litigation documents."
Many members of the radical left-wing environment radicals are attacking our economy by demanding less oil and gasoline drilling, more requirements on industry making businesses less-competitive in the marketplace, and more government bureaucracy. (Y)our GOP Platform supports common-sense protection of our environment as defined in "Addressing Climate Change Responsibly"
The Washington Examiner wrote an editorial critical of McConnell for making almost $700,000 in campaign contributions to Democrats by him and his wife since 1993. The editorial in the Washington Examiner claimed he is trying to buy a federal judgeship through targeted contributions.
With this evidence, it appears that McConnell will be a Federal Judge who creates the law, rather than rule on the laws as written. McConnell is quoted as saying, "There are wrongs that need to be righted, and that's how I see the law." In Mr. McConnell's eyes, the wrongdoers in America are invariably its job creators.
With this pro-abortionist evidence and other radical left-wing history, why could or would Scott Brown (MA), Susan Collins (ME), Lindsey Graham (SC), Johnny Isakson (GA), Mark Kirk (IL), John McCain AZ), Lisa Murkowski (AK) Olympia Snowe (ME), and John Thune (SD) of South Dakota elect "YES" on a Closure Vote? http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm? congress=112&session=1&vote=00065
In the Senate, 60 "YES" votes are required to move forward on an issue. Why did these same GOP Senators turn around on the next Roll Call Vote only to vote "NO" on Confirmation of this same Obama lifetime Federal Judgeship nominee? "All Democrats" who cast their votes chose "YES" on both "Closure" and "Confirmation."
While this is the third time Sen. "Flimsy" Graham has shown support for pro-abortionists in less than two years (SCOTUS nominees Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan), most Republicans, along with (y)our GOP Platform as defined, support "Maintaining The Sanctity and Dignity of Human Lifesupport."
Do these 11 GOP Senators believe they may be able to "fool" and/or convince their constituents that they support "pro-life"? How can these 11 Republican Senators say they support a free and open economy after supporting "Closure" on John J. McConnell, Jr., to be United States District Judge? What did these 11 GOP Senators get in return for their vote, or is this their true political belief and practice? President Obama's approved US District Judge John J. McConnell, Jr. is a way-out radical left-winger. Again, "all Democrats" who cast their votes chose "YES" on both "Closure" and "Confirmation." How corrupt are the 11 Republicans and almost all Democrats in the U.S. Senate?

The Future of American Prosperity
Members of both parties agree that Washington's present fiscal course is dangerously unsustainable. We're now borrowing 40 cents for every dollar we spend. This profligacy continues to weaken the dollar, threatening its status as the global reserve currency and fostering anxiety in the bond markets. Last month, Standard & Poor's delivered a sobering wake-up call when it revised its outlook on the U.S. long-term credit rating from "stable" to "negative."
No question, our accounts must be brought into balance – but not at the expense of economic growth. Those who advocate gigantic tax increases are short-sighted. Amid a sluggish recovery, abrupt tax hikes could drive the economy back into recession. (That's what happened in Japan during the late 1990s.) Moreover, it will be impossible to generate sufficient revenue without robust growth. A rapidly expanding economy creates new jobs and income for investment in wealth-creating enterprises. Some of that wealth flows back to the government and can be used to reduce the debt.
The policy tools we use to restore fiscal stability will go a long way toward shaping the future of American prosperity and promoting the economic expansion we need. Will we impose tax hikes that discourage investment and punish job creation? Or will we make the tax system more efficient and conducive to growth?
As these and other questions are debated, policymakers should consult the evidence from other industrialized countries, which overwhelmingly suggests that spending cuts, not tax hikes, are the best way to close massive budget gaps and help produce economic growth.
Indeed, after studying large-scale fiscal adjustments by wealthy, developed countries between 1970 and 2007, Harvard economists Alberto Alesina and Silvia Ardagna determined that "spending cuts are much more effective than tax increases in stabilizing the debt and avoiding economic downturns." Moreover, they found "several episodes in which spending cuts adopted to reduce deficits have been associated with economic expansions rather than recessions."
Goldman Sachs economists Ben Broadbent and Kevin Daly recently undertook a similar study that reviewed every major fiscal correction in wealthy nations since 1975. They found that "decisive budgetary adjustments that have focused on reducing government expenditures have
(i) been successful in correcting fiscal imbalances;
(ii) typically boosted growth; and
(iii) resulted in significant bond and equity market outperformance.
Tax-driven fiscal adjustments, by contrast, typically fail to correct fiscal imbalances and are damaging for growth."
Broadbent and Daly pointed to successful fiscal adjustments in Ireland (1987–89), Sweden (1994–98), and Canada (1994–97). In each case, the adjustment was driven primarily by cuts in public spending. Sweden in particular is famous for the generosity of its welfare state. Yet, when faced with a crisis, Swedish officials were able to trim the size of government substantially. If Stockholm could do it back in the mid-1990s, Washington can do it today.
Reducing the short-term deficit and stabilizing the long-term debt are critically important to American prosperity and living standards. But studies show that if fiscal consolidation relies heavily on tax increases, it will stifle economic growth and prove counterproductive.
This is the lesson we must apply as we try to forge a genuine bipartisan compromise to deal with our debt crisis.

Keep up the good work Congressman Quayle
I would like to congratulate Congressman Ben Quayle for launching the House Energy Action Team. It's about time our leaders in Congress recognize the damage high gas prices are doing to small businesses and families. It is truly refreshing to see some movement on this country's ongoing energy problems. Let's hope the Congressman and his colleagues make significant progress on issues such as energy independence, job creation in the energy sector, easing the high cost at the pump, and incorporating all forms of energy into our future policies. Keep up the good work Congressman!

People are starting to come forward
Hello Ms. MacLennan, Ms. Burdick, and Mr. Schaefer,
I had an ex-employee of your district contact me today. The employee stated she has first hand knowledge of an account that was funded specifically for a child's purpose at your district. There was some money left in the balance of the account and when this employee went to retrieve the last of the funds needed to take care of this child or fund the rest of the program, the money was gone. According to this ex-employee you said, "Sorry, we needed the money for something else." At this point we will be vigorously pursuing accountability for the funds the parents paid to the baseball program. Do you want to comply with our requests for financial accountability of the parent funded baseball program at this time?
Falcon Baseball parents, please forward this to other parents of student athletes.

Oral traditions
That image of the grandchildren sitting around their grandparents seems to be disappearing. When ethnological studies proliferate, with a major effort by two collections of traditions, music and folk stories, -many of the traditional stories come from this source – The paradox is that within the family may now be forgetting the memory of his history.
With the lack of coexistence between generations, and other cases where the children live with only one parent, it creates a breach of family oral traditions: the younger lost not only the story of their ancestors or collateral relatives, but also lack knowledge of narratives or stories, perhaps not transcendent, but relevant to the strengthening of ties between the family group that have retained more of their life experience with their neighbors or their ancestors.
Communication between different ages, in which each one informs the other of their knowledge, enriches all, the youngests will surely be experts in the new techniques of communication, and the grandparents will be expert in life.
Surveys confirm most children like to be with their parents irrespective of the fact the family is the primary community of teaching and learning: in that is learning the strengths and core values, where each person finds his own identity. Family life, many times hindered by the presence of television which induces isolation- the conversation with parents for children is an important factor in education to enhance their verbal expression, helping them to think and listen, and therefore to better understand.
The education of children requires a significant investment of time, sometimes subtracted from the family, perhaps with concern for the economy, but forgetting their role as educators. That paternal dedication in no way is substituted, even with the choice of an elite school. An important part of school failure is related to the lack of support from parents or older siblings. Sure, children learn best when they know they are followed in their homework, or heard from her parents telling a story, that one reading does not give the nuances of voice or the warmth of human presence. The human society will be more supportive and less violent if the parents spend more time with their children, and certainly the nostalgia of the days of living together will be a good inheritance.

Scary people
Sunday morning on my way into Cave Creek, fear struck. I saw smoke. Since I was very close, I drove toward the smoke, fear mounting. A light breeze was blowing, but not like the recent ones that approached 20 mph.
I thought I'd lost the smoke trail when suddenly it billowed before me. There were two men on the ground and one in the back of a pick-up. The man in the back of the pick-up was pitching dry landscape debris onto a large, hot fire and the two men on the ground were "managing" the fire by stirring the material, causing it to burn very hot.
How dumb is this? How illegal is this? How scary is this?
It's been six years since the Cave Creek Complex Fire. With people like these in our midst we may very well have another anniversary to celebrate.

Need Comprehensive Energy Strategy
The increase in gasoline prices reflects the instability in the Middle East and attendant speculation in the oil markets. We need to address the huge runup in oil prices with comprehensive policies designed to provide solutions to our energy consumption problems. Unfortunately, past administrations have failed us.
The Obama administration should continue to promote democracy in North Africa and the Middle East, and hopefully democratic reforms in these countries will provide some stability in the region and thereby help decrease speculation in the oil markets.
The U.S. has to increase domestic oil production, including oil derived from our Western U.S. oil shale and Alaskan oil deposits; build new refineries; build nuclear power plants meeting stringent U.S. specifications, including strict siting requirements; increase power production from natural gas and alternative energy sources, e.g. biomass, wind and solar; promote public transportation; and conserve energy in our homes, businesses, vehicles and in our travels. Another way to conserve gasoline consumption is to decrease the speed limits to 55 mph or 60 mph on our expressways, and we have to enforce these limits. Unfortunately many states have increased speed limits to between 70 mph and 85 mph. Some studies have shown going from 75 mph to 55 mph will reduce gasoline consumption by 33 percent.
U.S. nuclear plants should be designed to withstand a 9.0 earthquake, tornadoes, category 5 hurricanes and floods, and have battery and diesel generator back-up to provide power to coolant water for at least one month. Existing plants can only withstand a 7.5 earthquake and have four hours battery back-up; and spent fuel rods are currently stored on site. A reprocessing system must be established to neutralize or reuse these fuel rods.
We need the Obama administration to provide some leadership and implement a comprehensive energy strategy.
