Late January Greens
Posted by Tony Ricci on 01/23 at 09:20 AM
Green Heron Farm still has a nice supply of greens this week, but order early for those items – they fly off the shelf this time of year:
Baby Arugula
Baby Spinach
Baby Chard – Green, Red and Gold
Italian and Red Rib Dandelion
This has been a tough year for potatoes because of the extreme weather conditions last summer. But there are plenty of Red Thumb Fingerlings available.
This week I'll be working on seed orders in anticipation of another growing season. If you have any special requests for new crops you'd like to see on the list let us know now. Plants will also be available for your own gardens as in former years. Time to do your planning. (For more tips on selecting seeds for the 2012 growing season, see Jamie's most recent post.)

Rated 5 out of 5Â by PaPette Not too tight yet very supportive I just got these and wore them for several hours yesterday, forgetting I had them on because they were warm and more comfortable than light full foot support hose. They didn't leave long-lasting grooves in my legs and were tightest at the top. I needed these to support a varicose vein in one leg. I have a horrible shin bruise on the other leg and the sleeve felt wonderful on the swollen shin so I was able to walk without the bruised bone hurting. I had used knee warmers to go around my calves, but no more! These are long and stretch nicely...and the best part is no material to squeeze my toes/foot! Very reasonable, more so than other calf sleeves I have found on the internet. 2/23/14

Of course anyone who truly loves books buys more of them than he or she can hope to read in one fleeting lifetime. A good book, resting unopened in its slot on a shelf, full of majestic potentiality, is the most comforting sort of intellectual wallpaper.

Germain Racing Team
The Story
Germain Racing team owner Bob Germain Jr. is passionate about racing in NASCAR's highest ranks. He and his brothers, Steve and Rick, established the racing team in 2004 and Bob is thrilled to see the team's progression to competing each week in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series.
Just 26 months into its tenure in the NASCAR community, Germain Racing earned its first championship title. The 2006 feat was repeated in 2010. This outstanding success opened the doors for Germain Racing to grow from a Camping World Truck Series team, into a team fielding cars in each of NASCAR's top series. GEICO joined Germain Racing as a primary sponsor in 2008 for a full-time schedule in NASCAR's number two series. The program evolved into a Sprint Cup Series program by season's end.
The first race for Germain in the premier Sprint Cup Series came in 2009 with GEICO and the No. 13 Germain Racing entry. The first Sprint Cup Series top-ten finish came in just the eighth start for Germain Racing - an 8th-place result at Watkins Glen International Raceway. This result was very much in line with the team's history of on-track success.
Today, Germain Racing is located in Mooresville, N.C., on a 3-acre campus with two buildings, 52,000 sq. ft of shop and office space, paint and body shops, multiple surface plates, a four-post rig, two epoxy setup plates and a chassis dyno.
Visit Germain Racing for news, schedules and sponsorship information, or become a fan of Germain Racing on Facebook. You can also follow @GermainRacing on Twitter.
The Owner
President, Germain Automotive Partnership
Owner, Germain Racing
Bob Germain Jr. serves as president of the Germain Automotive Partnership. He attended Miami University of Ohio and it was Bob's passion for automobiles that led him and the Germain family to expand their business ventures into NASCAR racing by forming Germain Racing ten years ago.
In addition to automobile sales and racing, Bob Jr. and the Germain family are also involved in entertainment and ice hockey with naming rights to the Germain Arena in Estero, Fla., and in real estate with Germain Properties of Naples which is managed by Susan Germain Maahs, sister to Bob, Rick and Steve.
Bob has two children, Michael and Nicole, who work with him at Germain Motor Company and Germain Properties of Naples.
Though a native of Columbus, Ohio, Bob has been part of the Naples, Fla., community for more than 30 years. Today he shares his residency with Statesville, N.C., where he has a small farm with his wife, Gail, and two stepchildren, Sydney and Robbie.
When Bob is in Naples, he remains very active in the Florida community. He has taken up where his father, Bob Sr., left off in continuing to make charitable donations and efforts aimed at helping children. Bob is involved with Juvenile Diabetes, Boys and Girls Club, Bosom Buddies, Pete Villani Memorial, Gift of Giving and many others.
Team Leaders
Bootie Barker
Position: Crew Chief, No. 13 GEICO for Germain Racing
Hometown: Scottsburg, VA
Resides: Davidson
Education: Old Dominion, Mechanical Engineering
Favorite Past-time: Reading, Growing Roses, Hunting and Gardening
Robert "Bootie" Barker grew up just next door to the famous South Boston Speedway, yet instead of dreaming about racing, he was a fan of 'stick and ball' sports. He played football as a linebacker and loved the thrill of competition. Barker went off to college to study engineering and his focus was quickly redirected to the very competitive field of motorsports.
As a junior studying Mechanical Engineering at Old Dominion University, Barker heard Benny Parsons on the radio talking about engineers that build shocks for race cars, and it clicked. Barker realized that racing would be the perfect industry for putting his engineering degree to use while still maintaining a high level of competition. Shortly after hearing that radio show, Barker became immersed in the infield at South Boston Speedway.
His first racing job was selling tires at South Boston and working for driver Ashton Lewis on his late model team. From these humble beginnings, Barker has become not just a crew chief in NASCAR's highest level, but a voice for NASCAR, for crew chiefs and for the GEICO entry. Barker has written a variety of magazine columns over the years and is to date a regular guest on NASCAR RaceHub on Fox Sports 1.
Barker joined Germain Racing in 2009 as crew chief for the No. 13 GEICO entry.
Championship: Best finish, Third, NNS with driver Scott Wimmer, 2002
First Win as Crew Chief: Dover International Speedway, NNS, 2002
Career Highlights: Leading qualifying effort for Germain Racing's first-ever Daytona 500 race entry (2010), Winning at Dover in NNS

In a way, he's like Rex. At the elevated position of head coach Rex is still trying to find his way a little and become successful, but most agree that he's probably best suited as a Defensive Coordinator.
I like Bradway and hope he sticks through this.
I agree with this.

Would make a lot of sense in some ways. The only comments that Woody has made from the press conference was that Korn/Ferry was helping with the restructuring of their front office. That started with Glat. Would be excited if they could pull of a "2 for 1". Would definitely excite a fanbase that is already worried about the thin resume that Idzik has on the personnel side.
I think Mueller worked for Seattle at one point, if I recall what i read correctly.

AeroGarden® Ultra LED 10 10
Not happy with purchase This thing cannot keep time (as others have noted). I wish I would have realized this before purchasing. Its defective and I don't see anyone offering an exchange or refund. Not happy. Yes the LED's do a great job, however its very expensive for what it is and considering it can't do what it is, that's a problem. How did quality control not catch the time issue? May 9, 2014
Aerogarden Ultra LED suffers one major issue Apparently because of LED interference the clock runs very fast. Which throws off all the grow programs. No way to fix it but for them to figure out how to protect the electronics from LED interference (that's what they say is the problem). So we're waiting! April 21, 2014
Amazing! I purchased the LED Ultra because of the reviews in addition to less power and heat being created by the grow lights. I planted a variety of flowering pods and they began growing within days. I wish I could include a picture because it's working even better than I ever expected. I plan on purchasing a 2nd Aerogarden soon for spices and lettuce. If you like to grow you and you are thinking about this product, don't think any longer. This Design beats the standard design with standard grow bulbs and saves a lot of electric and cooling. I highly recommend!!! April 19, 2014
All previous problems addressed This is my third Aerogarden and the company has apparently addressed all the issues with previous designs. This one is definitely the best yet and worth every penny. Frontgate made it easy to order (the Aerogarden company was sold out of this item and on backorder until May). They gave me a great deal and delivered it quickly. April 11, 2014
Aerogarden Ultra LED This is a nice concept, after nineteen days I have nice growth on the tomatoes, herbs. The main problem is the electronic clock, it gains Time. After setting the clock to the current time, after a mere 1 1/2 hrs it has gained 2 hrs. This causes the lights to go off prematurely. April 8, 2014
Fabulous So far so good. Fast free delivery, item was less expensive than on the Miraclegro site, and it appears to be working perfectly. It has been two weeks and I have lettuce and spinach about three inches high already. March 25, 2014
Good product but can't keep time Great product except for the digital clock. Seems like an issue that could be corrected very easily. March 8, 2014
Excellent Product, Quick Free Shipping This is the second AeroGarden I have purchased. The manufacturer had them on backorder but I was able to find one on Frontgate at a reasonable price. Shipping was free and only took 2 days. Love the product, great way to start plants, only costs about $2 a month for the electricity and the difference in growth is well worth it. February 24, 2014

Driving around one Detroit neighborhood is slow, if you can go anywhere
at all. Another water main break is causing an icy mess for drivers on
the city's west side.
Click on the video player to watch Robin Murdoch's report.
It's a sloppy, slushy mess that's stranding drivers. While we were out on Beechwood St. near Warren on Sunday, four cars got stuck in deep, icy ruts and could not get out. Residents blame a busted water main down the street that has been flowing freely for two weeks now. They say they've called the city over and over again but nothing's been done to stop the water from flowing.
Crews have put up police tape and barricades at several points on Beechwood to try to block it off, but as you can see, some are still trying to get through.
"In the past three days I've seen six people get stuck," one driver told us.
While we were there, a tow truck was call in to pull out one ice encrusted car, but it got stuck, too. A tow truck was needed to get the tow truck out. It's a problem residents want cleared up soon. They say getting home shouldn't be this hard.
We have a call in to Detroit's Water Dept. We're waiting for a call back.

Samoa Finish Off Fiji
Pacific heavyweights Samoa bludgeoned Fiji's World Cup hopes on Sunday with a grinding 27-7 victory which earned them a shot at the quarter-finals in their final pool game against champions South Africa.
Flyhalf Tusi Pisi kicked Samoa to a 12-0 lead in an attritional first half before they outscored Fiji two tries to one in the second period to dash their arch-rivals' hopes of a second successive place in the last eight.
The match was played against the colourful backdrop of 60,327 fans, mostly members of Auckland's expatriate Pacific community, but wet conditions hampered free-running Fiji who slumped to their second loss in the "Pool of Death".
"This game is all about pressure and we kept the pressure on and got some points," said Samoa skipper Mahonri Schwalger. "If you want to win against a strong team like Fiji you have got to get the points when you get down into their 22."
Samoa now have an outside chance of reaching their first quarter-final in 16 years with victory on Friday against the Springboks, or even a solitary bonus point if Fiji can do them a favour by beating Wales next Sunday.
"It's very disappointing. We failed to fire any shots in the first half. After half time we were still in the game but the credits go to the Samoan defence and their one-on-one tackles," said Fiji captain Deacon Manu.
Samoa had promised to batter Fiji's forwards and starve their backs of ball, and so it proved in a first half of juddering collisions, calls for medical attention and handling errors with the slippery ball.
The Samoans played the opening 30 minutes nearly exclusively in the Fijian half, allowing ex-Toulon flyhalf Pisi, now playing in Japan, to kick three penalties and an opportunist drop-goal.
And Fiji twice had the video replay to thank after try-attempts by Sailosi Tagicakibau and 1.94m (six foot four) wing Alesana "Bulldozer" Tuilagi were ruled out after referral by referee Bryce Lawrence.
Pisi stroked over a fourth penalty early in the second half before Fiji had their best passage of play with a rolling attack through the forwards which was eventually ended by a turnover.
Tuilagi knocked Tagicakibau backwards with a ferocious hit as the big collisions kept coming, but a huge tackle by Fiji's Sisa Koyamaibole on Pisi could not prevent Samoa's first try as scrumhalf Kahn Fotuali'i darted over from the ruck.
Fiji's forwards came rumbling back and they were rewarded with a try when flanker Netani Edward Talei went over after receiving the ball on the right for their only score of the day on 66 minutes.
But Samoa found an immediate riposte when number eight George Stowers powered over on the left. Hopes of a Fiji revival were hit when hooker Sunia Koto went off injured and they were denied a last-gasp consolation by a video replay.
The two teams went toe-to-toe in a simultaneous haka confrontation before kick-off but they huddled together in prayer after the final whistle.
Fiji beat Namibia in their first game before a 49-3 reverse to South Africa, while Samoa also had a win over Namibia before going down 17-10 to Wales last week.

Samoa - Tries: Kahn Fotuali'i, George Stowers. Conversion: Paul Williams. Penalties: Tusi Pisi (4). Drop Goal: Pisi.

We never expected to find some of the most mouthwatering chocolate in all of Spain right on the outskirts of Madrid. Chocolate Orgániko dark chocolate, made from the purest cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic mixed with a premium blend of Earl Grey tea, will change your notions of just how good modern chocolate can taste.
When we stumbled upon this award-winning chocolate workshop, the labor of love of a young couple committed to making the best artisan chocolate in their country since 2006, we knew we'd found something special. It's no wonder they call their chocolate "Made of Dreams." It truly is!
At Chocolate Orgániko, only the best raw ingredients are used to make each handmade bar. Expert artisans start with 100% organic Trinitario cocoa beans harvested in the Dominican Republic and surrounding Caribbean islands. This type of cacao, a hybrid between the rare Criollo bean and the more common Forastero bean, is highly regarded as the finest flavored type of chocolate there is.
This fine dark chocolate is blended with Earl Grey tea, creating a bar with complex flavors of bergamot and lemon within the rich cocoa. The artisans at Chocolate Orgániko search far and wide for these organic ingredients, and their attention to detail has earned them accolades across Europe and the UK!
While these bars have a shelf life of up to one year, we don't think they'll last very long at all – after one bite, you might just finish the bar!
Organic cocoa, organic cocoa butter, organic cane sugar, organic Earl Grey tea and lecithin.

STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU) - Portage County is making progress on a long and detailed comprehensive planning project. County Executive Patty Dreier says they realized a couple of years ago the county needed to set priorities for the long haul. Dreier says they really don't have a long term comprehensive plan, and every strong organization needs one.
The county's comprehensive plan covers economic development, facilities planning, streamlining county services, and maintaining a skilled county workforce.
Dreier says this project helps them lay out the map, so they can plan financially and organizationally for the long term. "Right now, and to this point in time, Portage County government hasn't had a strategic plan. Then, it's the flavor of the day if we're not careful, and it depends on who comes into office."
Work on the plan started in the county committees back in 2011 by identifying issues, mandates, and collecting data from previous county studies.
During the past four months, Portage County has been working with a Madison consultant to assemble the information. The County Board had their first look at the comprehensive plan Tuesday. Dreier says there is still a ways to go before it's completed.

NCUA says CLF membership grew to 218 credit unions from 129 at the end of the first quarter of 2013.
During past year, all deposit growth has been in liquid accounts; CD and IRA balances fell.
The NCUA adopted key new rules in 2013 concerning liquidity, CUSOs and fixed assets.
Video is followup to liquidity rule ruling out of October board meeting.
Proposed rule would require credit unions with more than $100 million in assets to establish an emergency liquidity provider.
Credit unions awaiting NCUA final rules on emergency liquidity, CUSOs and loan participations can breathe easy until late 2013.
Trade presents its 2012 Report on Credit Unions, notes 30% intend to access liquidity in the next 12 months.
NCUA declares three-year corporate system rescue effort complete.
Final liquidity rule not on October agenda for NCUA Board.

Since most of my early school years were spent in foreign countries where there were no government-subsidized meals, taking my lunch to school was something my siblings and I did as a matter of course. Almost invariably, the contents consisted of a sandwich, some fruit, a thermos of milk or chocolate milk, and a small treat.
Now, thanks to Nanny-staters in Chicago, the venerable brown-bag lunch may become a thing of the past; the latest victim of a drive to place virtually every aspect of growing up, in the hands of government officials who claim a monopoly on knowing what's best for children.
While certainly many parents are not particularly good parents, and often make mistakes in teaching children appropriate life lessons and good habits, to conclude from that truism that such decision-making is better in the hands of government employees, is an even worse decision.
Schools, of course, have long been a refuge for nanny-staters at all levels of government. Our current First Lady, Michelle Obama, is following in this tradition by leading a crusade against obesity; what she calls a "public health crisis." Granted, there are too many fat people wandering our communities, businesses and schools; but does that justify government interference in people's eating habits? Does that justify a school, such as Little Village Academy in Chicago, dictating that its students are prohibited from bringing their own, home-packed lunches to school?
Elsa Carmona, principal at Little Village Academy, has decided it is "better for the children to eat at the school." Therefore, as any good, petty bureaucrat with a degree of power would do, she concludes it is necessary for her to "protect students from their own unhealthful food choices" and force them to eat only what she determines is best for them at the school cafeteria. (Incidentally, some of the food served in public school cafeterias that I've seen, is far from appealing; and of dubious healthfulness.)
A school board spokesperson, apparently of the same controlling mindset as Ms. Carmona, agrees; stating that Little Village Academy is merely "encouraging the healthier choices." Such sophistry wrongly implies the students are given a choice in lunches and merely encouraged to go in the healthier direction. In fact, the kids have no choice. As the Chicago Tribune notes, the children either eat the lunches provided to them by the school, or they do not eat.
Perhaps the only good news in all this is that the students are learning at an early age they do not live in a free country any longer.

The Space Shuttle has had more farewell launches and final flights than Barbara Streisand. Can we retire this embarrassment to the laws of nature already? (The shuttle, not the Bar). You see, the shuttle is both a plane and a spaceship. Never mind there's no air in space, dammit, the movie "Star Wars" proves that space craft need wings to bank right when they attack. That movie really fired up Nasa's imagination and they just couldn't stop themselves from putting wings on the Space Shuttle.
I've never taken Rocket Science 101, but if I were to pick a shape for a space craft, it would look exactly like a meteorite. Why? Because that's the shape that survives reentry. Voila. The capsule is born. Get it, yet?

"While certainly many parents are not particularly good parents, and often make mistakes in teaching children appropriate life lessons and good habits, to conclude from that truism that such decision-making is better in the hands of government employees, is an even worse decision."
"good parents/often make mistakes" – (redundant. delete clause)
"to conclude from that truism…is an even worse decision" – so awkward that it's unfixable. Flush the whole sentence. Then stick your head in the toilet. Flush. Repeat. Flush. Repeat.

The right honorable Mr. Barr's school lunches consisted of "a sandwich, some fruit, a thermos of milk or chocolate milk, and a small treat."
All these ingredients are useless in food fights. Suddenly everything Barr writes makes perfect sense. He must have gotten creamed many times. The poor sot. I can't resist it either. Here's a little something for the unsuspecting Mr Barr's face: 3.14159

I notice how you point out a public school and the "nanny-state". What about private schools that have had this same policy for many years. I went to a private Catholic school in the late 70's and we were required to eat whatever was being served by the school…we could not take brown-bag lunch. I guess in your mind a nanny-state private corporation is ok but certainly not ok when it comes to government.
I see you mentioned Michelle Obama "is following in this tradition by leading a crusade against obesity; what she calls a 'public health crisis.'"" All first Ladies take up some cause. Nancy Reagan's was anti drugs. Barbara Bush supported and worked to advance the cause of universal literacy. Laura Bush focused on health, education, and literacy. Were all these Republican first ladies "nanny-staters" as well?

Michelle Obama is not the first first lady to take on health issues as a cause…Republican first ladies have taken on the same cause in the past. Yet Michelle Obama is being vilified for it by the right.

April 29th, 2011

On one level I am in agreement with BB that the govt should not be in the business of providing every level of support for everyone, but in the case of this school there is a little more to it than meets the eye.
First this program has been going on for 6 years, but only recently been brought to the attention of the press.
Second, if you know Chicago, this school is in a hell hole of an area. This is the closest these kids will come to a decent meal. Over 90% on free and reduced for meals and a overty level near 100%. The expression, "who's your daddy" would be very appropriate for this area.
The federal govt. wastes more in a hour than it cost to feed these kids for a year. I am far from a liberal but I might be OK with what they are doing at this school.

WOW — "Contradict much? It's a private school which means people paid to have that happen to them. Make sense, Gump?"

Where are our priorities? Here we're debating the "nanny-state" of government because one public school in Chicago doesn't allow brown-bag lunches without a doctor's note while in the state of Michigan they're moving from a democracy to a dictatorship form of government…talk about 'nanny-state". Under a new law passed by Republican legislator and signed by a Republican governor, the governor now has the authority to declare any town or municipal or school a financial emergency. He then can appoint a dictator who has the authority to disband the entire local government or school district (elected by the local people), nullify all contracts and run the entire municipal government. He can write new contracts, privatize any area or the entire local government while being paid by the state as well as private entities. So he can take over the local government and sell it to the highest bidder that will line his pockets. They're already taken over at least one town where the dictator has taken over everything. The elected officials has no authority any longer…they can only call a meeting, read minutes from the last meeting and adjourn the meeting…that's it. One of these dictators was caught on camera while training others that he likes the control. As he said he is the town's mayor, commissioner, financial director, etc. and he loves it.

What the student is learning at Little Village Academy, is that the will of those in authority will be sacrosanct as opposed to civil rights to atleast engage in discussion of what is proper or improper.
Liberty and freedom should be a part of the school curriculum.

Since Mrs. Obama has the power neither to enact nor enforce laws of any sort, she cannot be part of your purported 'nanny state'. As John points out, she is merely engaging in the same sort of issue advocacy that all modern first ladies have. That you choose to attack her for continuing that recent tradition reveals your own bigotry and bias. Complaining about one principal setting rules for own school and completely answerable to a supportive local school board elected by a school district's citizens is making the proverbial mountain out of a molehill.

As a vegetarian it is beyond ridiculous that they would do this, if for no other reason than that Americans don't have the slightest clue how to make tasty and healthy vegetarian food. If this is a public school doing this they should have the pants sued off them. That said, "Little River Academy" sounds a lot like a private school to me.

A private company wants to convert the park to an exclusive golf park. They insist the residents would be allowed to join the private park that's being converted from a public park.

John, your parents sent you to the private school as their option, and agreed to the rules set by the school. Probably had a uniform policy, and other things, but your family opted in.
The Chicago issue is at a public school. Public schools normally do not (and in many cases should not) have the same rules as private schools, specifically because many or most students are in public schools by necessity, not by choice.

MLeake, we all have choices. When it comes to schooling…parents can choose between public, private or home schooling. Secondly, if those in that school district don't like the policies…they can have the policies change, they have a voice. If the people in that district aren't being heard by the school district, the people can vote those school board members out of office. That's democracy.
Unlike the Republicans in Michigan who are turning their state into a dictatorship…the people's vote no longer count in Michigan.

One must force kids to eat certain foods if one is going to perpetuate federal agriculture subsidies. All the dairy, the wheat, the cheese, the meat. It is all part of the subsidy program. Hell, the pyramid has been part of the subsidy/brainwashing program since at least the middle 20th century. In the old days there were dozens of different categories of fruits, vegetables, grains, meats, and the like with no specific preferences given except to show the diversity of foods available.
Get the government out of the education business entirely. That's really what this article should be promoting. This kind of crap is to be expected wherever government sticks their nose in.

1. Comparing a private school policy to a public school one is comparing apples to oranges.
2. This isn't about nutrition. 90 to 99 percent of these kids already are on the free lunch program and therefore getting a nutritious lunch. It is about "fairness". The administrators are worried about the poor children being jealous of the ones whose parents can afford tasty treats.

Outlawing brown bag lunches comes from a point of view that believes three things:
1. That government ought, as a matter of principle, to be involved in day to day decsions that affect any citizen's potential welfare. Each bit of power that accrues to the government allows the government to accure more power later. You may approve of the decision before us but be really unhappy where it leads.
2. That goverment is competent to make good decisons for hundreds of millions of people who formerly made these decisons individually. There is a cost to allowing the government to make individual decisons experessed in higher taxes, less freedom and governmental error.
3. That the downside and unintended consequences of any particular government intervention are either knowable or worth the risk.
We should be outraged at one Chicago school wanting to regulate what children bring in their brown bags. We should be outraged at many of the choices that regulators want to impose on us and our children.

"Anon" asked the perfect question early on. Are they going to accommodate for all the students who have specialized diets ?
Kosher, vegetarian, diabetic, assorted food allergies…etc. ?
I still remember during my entire 12 years of public school all the lunches had one option for our drink…milk. You got milk and there was zero alternative to it.
Guess what, I'm lactose intolerant. I had to bring juice to school to drink. Juice with zero means of keeping it cool either, so by lunch it had been sitting a locker and was room temp.
They couldn't even accommodate for one food allergy, yet they're ready to take on countless ones and countless other dietary needs all at once ?
What a joke.

WOW…what would you call it? According to Webster's dictionary, the definition of dictator is…
a : a person granted absolute emergency power; especially : one appointed by the senate of ancient Rome b : one holding complete autocratic control c : one ruling absolutely and often oppressively
Sounds like it fits with this Michigan law, doesn't it?

Guess next Mr. Barr, you will write how not allowing kids to bring guns, knives and other weapons is a government "nanny-state" overreach. What about the school district banning alcohol on school grounds? Or teachers and school administrators breaking up fights between students…is that being a "nanny-state" as well?

"Sounds like it fits with this Michigan law, doesn't it?"
Go recall the governor then. I don't see any outrage on your part about the federal government mandating that people buy health insurance.
Hypocrite much, John?

Are you outraged about the government forcing us to buy car insurance. There's is a big difference about the health insurance and banning the entire local government and placing it in one person's hand. Would you be outraged is Obama is allowed to ban all states' governments and appoint friends of his to run the states?

I'm not the one complaining about a school policy. Talk about hypocrite…sounds like you believe schools can have some policies (that agree with) but not allow others (those the you disagree with).
April 29th, 2011
6:34 pm
WOW…let's talk hypocrisy. You believe a private school is allowed to make policies regarding lunch, uniforms, ect since it's owned and operated by a private entity. But when the school is owned and operated by a government entity, that government entity has no rights to make policies because that's overreach.
That's hypocrisy,
April 29th, 2011

Question…if the public school outsourced the cafeteria services to a private company who wants to make some profit and it's the policy of that private company to not allow students to bring brown-bag lunches since that eats into their profits, would we still be having this debate?

…public money is being diverted from public schools to private schools ?
No, the public funding of education in Georgia is being DIVERTED from the educational choice of the individual – as in the parents or guardians of school age children to whom this money rightfully belongs.
Hopefully public funding of school choice will belong to all of Georgia's school age children K-12. Public schools have no right to an education monopoly and we the voters of Georgia should amend our State's Constitution to end the present government public school system education monopoly in Georgia.
Let the money follow the student.

"No, the public funding of education in Georgia is being DIVERTED from the educational choice of the individual – as in the parents or guardians of school age children to whom this money rightfully belongs. "
Michael H. Smith , what don't you get about the transfer of money. When money transfers from one hand to another, it is no longer the property of the people whom the money transferred from. We pay for government services via taxes. In return, we have a voice in shaping government through our votes. But it seems you would rather take tax money and give it to private corporations who can use the money as they seem fit and we no longer have a voice in how it's being spent.

@WOW: here you go: http://www.uaw.org/articles/benton-harbor-mi-story-rachel-madd...
Bob Barr- I agree that prohibiting bag lunches is wrong on SO many levels…but your arguments are insulting and embarrassing.and quite poorly thought through. And you shot your argument in the foot with the probably enjoyable but cheap, jab at the First Lady. Clearly you don't give a damn about the health of the kids in America, but we have a criticlal health issue now and ahead. How short-sighted to care so little about the future of America and its citizens, some of whom are your progeny! Children cannot make wise food choices when provided with poor food to choose from. WE..and that does include YOU…have raised a society of fat, sick kids. WE are killing our own kids with food and they are already paying for our mistakes. Most of these kids are and will be unfit to serve in our military and when we need them will be useless. These kids have diabetes in their teens and high cholesterol as young as 6 years of age….stroles and heart attacks are occurring at much younger ages. The kids have no stamina, no energy, and can barely fit 2 kids to a seat on a bus. YOU, Dear Mr. Barr, are one of this generation who plied kids with crappy foods and no nutrition information and now you don't care enough to help with it's treatment. Typical! This is very much like the tobacco industry- they were supported and subsidized and romanticized by all of us…and when the public woke up, it was too late…people are sick, addicted and the cost of long-term care for the millions slowly suffocating is phenomenal. But if the government had not stepped in, I'd still be forced to smoke some jerks cigarette on buses, planes and any damn place they want to smoke. We had better buck up and shoulder the responsibility for the mess we made…nanny or no nanny!

Nah, let's all abdicate all social responsibilities. After all, in 10-15 years, when the generation writing on this blog begins to see the cost physically and financially of the parent-induced chronic illnesses that insue, we can all giggle and be proud of ourselves…nor our problem, no money out of our pockets, and best of all- we didn't let the government, and especially not that black president's wife, tell us anything!

Reference: DD/WA/2/2/18
This month's document of the month comes from the Patricia Wakefield Memorials Collection.
The collection which comprises over 130 folders is the product of work undertaken over a number of years by the late Patricia Wakefield (1932 - 2004) of Bulwell, Nottingham and is the result of her interest in members of the Sherwood Foresters who died in the First World War. She visited war cemeteries in France and Belgium and recorded details of the graves she found; she also toured Nottinghamshire and surrounding counties photographing war memorials and recording information about the soldiers listed on them.
The documents were depoisted by her family after her death and cataloguing the collection was made possible by funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and involved volunteers who under the guidance of the project archivist undertook the preservation and rewrapping aspects of the work. The volunteers were home educated young people from the local area, aged between 11 and 17 and they represent the first generation for whom the First World War is no longer in living memory. The cataloguing project ran from May 2013 to July 2014.
The collection includes information on the locations of graves of the Nottinghamshire and Derby Regiment (the Sherwood Foresters) as well as lists of cemteries in France and Belgium where Sherwood Foresters are buried and documents relating to memorials in Nottinghamshire and surrounding counties. Patricia Wakefield also took a photograph of every Sherwood Forester's grave she visited and researched detailed biographical information for soldiers from different regiments. For 43 of them she also obtained their medals.
The document chosen is one of the most poignant in the collection; it is a montage of images from Bois-Guillaume Cemetery just north of Rouen in France. One image shows the cemetery in 1919 with the original wooden crosses and headstones, like those which inspired Colonel John Macrae to write his famous poem "In Flanders Fields". The other image was taken by Patricia Wakefield in the 1990s and shows the cemetery with its neatly tended Commonwealth War Graves Commission headstones.
Patricia Wakefield's years of work in compiling this collection is testament to the promise made in Lawrence Binyon's poem "The Fallen":
'…At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.'

|We took to the woods
Cover not available. By Louise Dickinson Rich, 1903-1991. "Her best-known work was her first book, the autobiographical We Took to the Woods, (1942) set in the 1930s when she and husband Ralph, and her friend and hired help Gerrish, lived in a remote cabin near Lake Umbagog. It was described as "a witty account of a Thoreau-like existence in a wilderness home."[2]Wikipedia posted Apr 25, 2012 at 7:43PM

YUIN PK3 Earbuds
" The PK3 is a great, warm earbud. It does vocals especially well because it is very mid-focused. It has impressive bass extension, not especially strong impact; the trebles are smooth and may roll off too soon for clarity and detail nuts. But the mids are what the PK3 are all about. " --kmhaynes
Panasonic RP-HJE355-K High Fidelity Ergo-Fit Inner Ear Earbud Headphone Black

I like the HA-FX40 for its slightly better detail, although its highs are a bit too strong at times. The HJE355 has a very ergonomic shape and I think most people will find that it is very..." --JK1
Yuin Pk3 Earphones
" Got these at Amazon after a long search and much reading. Sound for the price is really good. Not in the same league with my Sony Pros or the Sennheisers but surprisingly close. I have them connected with a REALLY cheap headphone amp and the combo far exceeds what I expected. Clear, roomy, dead quiet. " --Richard S
Yuin Pk1 Earphones
" These were my sweetest sounding head-gear yet. It would be brilliant all-rounder if it would not require a portable amp for portable use. This is the first reason i left it, otherwise i almost got an ear infection from those foams.., they get dirty in a few weeks of massive use. I recommend them to clean, i boiled them in water.
