Alex.....Did the stunning competence of the democrat
party as evidenced by the progress in the economy
including the job market impress or was it the increase
in food stamps due to the increasing number of people
pushed out of full time jobs. Maybe it was the out-
standing advance in our foreign policy issues. How about
the decrease in real wages for the American worker.
Or it might have been the huge increase in our national
debt. I guess it could have been ACA website launch
which is reflecting the expertise of the Obama
administration. It might even been the skillful lying
and craw fishing. Enjoy your new found home in the
democrat party. I think that Ben said it best.....
Hope makes a fine breakfast but a poor supper.

But yet, you knew something must be done. Or were you expecting our county offices to continue to rot away without a single solution being brought about. Democracy took place. If people chose apathy, it was their choice to make. It's good you can stay on topic though, I'm always impressed by that. Never a missed moment to toss in your Obama jab. We get it. Really.
Now you're just being silly. You are no Ben Franklin and he would be offended you are using his name as though you have the right to do so. You're not part of a revolution here; you're commenting on a small county right-leaning newspaper. If you can't do that with your own voice, I have little respect for your suggestions or ideas.

Did you know that over 67% of the colonists were opposed to the Revolution against the British empire including myself (Ben Franklin) until articles and debate by anonymous authors changed mine and others opinion.
Do you think if I used my name (Ben Franklin), I would have been as successful or more likely hung?
Please study your history as ignorance of history usually is a sign of ignorance in debate as a generality. Might I suggest you start your study with the Sons of Liberty and their identities as well as reading the Poor Richard's Almanack of the times.. my favorite.

Stacey, with less than 15% eligible voters voting, I think apathy would be more appropriate than obvious representation of the people.
Second, during the last election cycle, a $8.5M certificate obligation was not part of the discussion so a revisionist view of what the last election was about would be as logical as believing "If you like it, you can keep it" was not a lie told to win the last election.
Third, the hub-bub was about the deceptive practice of only pointing the obvious good and failing to mention the drawbacks like $4.6M in a justice center and poor planning. Howard was just gloating over Democrats wins. What amazes me is just because someone wins the current vote that does not mean they win the next vote. Life is not stationary. Just because the COO have passed, there is a long run to go down to spend the money. There is already over $9.2M in costs to do just the few things that were in the COO. So, the extra $700k has to come from somewhere. Maybe your independently wealth so you can afford the extra taxes or you are one of 47% of the people who survive off the other 53%, either way, I am neither so I think since my taxes (expense) is part of the cost, I will make a little hub-bub if you don't mind. It is a constitutional right unlike Obamacare.

I agree, Howard. If I recall there was an election cycle since the courthouse was roped off. If people wanted new commissioners, they had time to get them in, but obviously the citizens voted in the representation they wanted. Also, I find it amusing all the hub-bub about "just wanting a vote" on the bond, and here it is, but it's still not good enough. Finally, thank you for using your name. It's nice to know who is not afraid to have an opinion. I can't wait to see how many we have running for county positions on the next ballot. With so many unhappy, I'm sure it will be a sight to behold.

First Beji, I was there at the meeting. Second, I didn't put the dog house or the roads on the certificates of obligation, the commissioners and the judge did. So, if you have point can you qualify it in some manner to justify your comments or are you nitpicking your point of view. Your side won.. get over it. Our side lost because people overlooked the fact that there is not enough money to do all that is on the certificate of obligations. If good planning and costing would have been done, then this would not have been an issue. They obviously are leading by the seat of their pants. I prefer well thought out decisions because this kind of leadership leads to bad outcomes.
Third, I do live here and owned several pieces of property. My property taxes are over $6k/year so yes a small increase has a bigger impact on those who don't have as much to risk.
Fourth, it is intellectually dishonest and quite juvenile for folks to continue to insist there are paid Dem shills. So, everyone who disagrees with you and your liberal support of additional spending without a clear plan is a shill, don't live here and have a grudge with the judge. Really? Wow, how deep.
Might I remind you that vote only won by 11 votes. So, I think there are people on here that don't agree with you. I do appreciate Obama supporters like you who said because he won, we should just accept Obamacare. Well, that is not the way it works Amhoudi. Don't you have a fire to put out or at least post more comments that are exactly opposite of your position on financial folly at the Federal level? I guess only your comments are right... we call that the political elite. We tell you what your healthcare, and opinions are and if you disagree we will punish you.

I see a lot of complaints.. which of you went to the meeting? Seems like a lot of your complaints were asked and answered at the meeting.. and would people PLEASE let the Animal Shelter/Roads thing go! The Judge provided a reasonable and logical (for government) answer to why it was done that way, and yet I continue to see people looking for a boogie-man where there is none. Have we run out of substantive issues so we have nothing to pursue but red herrings? The costs were explained, the goals were explained - I don't see the issue here other than you personally don't like the Judge and want only to besmirch him. Some of you rabble-rousers don't even live here, but harass the forums from afar just for pay (paid shills for the Dems) and entertainment.
What you should be worried about is the Water bill. $14 Billion in slush fund with no plan will most likely result in "havesting" water rights from Wilson County and perhaps even a tax on your water well. It might become illegal to collect runoff in your stock tank - like it is in parts of California! Why the Farm B would endorse it I don't understand!

Update on the recount effort: We now have solid numbers after talking with the election office. The early voting site counts as an additional polling place. Therefore, the deposit for a recount is $2,720. Also, the recount should take two days and cost no more than $800. Therefore there should be a reimbursement of $1,920 after the recount. All donors will be reimbursed proportionately. If you are interested in assisting with this effort please call 830-391-6872.

A recount is being considered by a number of citizens in Wilson County. According to Sections 212.024, 212.028, and 212.112 of Texas Law, a recount must be conducted if the following conditions are met:
� �the difference in the number of votes received for the measure and against the measure is less than 10 percent of the total number of votes received on the measure as shown by the election returns� [in this election the difference was 11 votes or 0.4%, well under the threshold]
� �any 25 or more persons, acting jointly, who were eligible to vote in the election petition the County for a recount�
� The petition must be received by the County by 5 p.m. of the fifth day after Election Day [this is a Sunday so the petition must be submitted before COB on Friday Nov 8th]
The deposit for the recount is as follows:
� $60 for each precinct in which regular paper ballots were used and $100 for each precinct in which an electronic voting system was used
� This recount will require $160 for each of the 16 precincts the County had open on Election Day for a total of $2,560 payable in a cashier's check or money order.
We estimate that this recount should take no more than 3 or 4 County employees for a period of five or six hours to accomplish. At time and a half this is probably $600 or less. In theory, the remaining $1,900 should be reimbursable to the group organizing the recount. This reimbursement would then be given back to the donors.
Anyone who is interested in signing the petition and/or signing the petition and making a donation for the deposit please call 830-391-6872.

Howard, the courthouse could have been saved for $2M dollars (it is in their brochure). Also, the total cost is over $9.2M for those things that they say they can now do which does not include ROADS or a County Dog Kennel.
Speaking of gems, you only address what most people agree: the courthouse needed fixed and we need a new library. What we got was 3 times as much Wilson County property that must be maintained, a ridiculous $4.6M justice center, a joke library replacement and a "too expense of consultant Thorn. So, we get to maintain the decorum of the dilapidated trailers that dot all over Floresville. So I guess you are right we get to look like trash and that is a good day for Democrats - keep the poor: poor and ignorant and happy the government takes care of them.
Also, nothing I said was a personal attack. I am glad to hear you are not running AGAIN. So, if you change your mind, can we quote you on it or our you going to change the meaning of what you said like Obama?

In this case, you conveniently did not mention that I like many others were against the justice center which costs over 50% of the Certificate of Obligations. I supported fixing the courthouse and a new library. The proposed library is sad. A much better library should have been built somewhere else. We will go from one ugly building to another used ugly building. I thought we trying not to be embarrassed by our facilities according to the Assistant DA.
You also did not mention that the County will have over three times the square footage it had just before the Courthouse closed. You also forgot to mention you supported the initiative on two fronts. One, you are an attorney so you wanted a better work environment at taxpayer expense. Two, you are going to run for County Judge and you wanted the luxury offices that will be built and furnished with this bond.
So, for very selfish reason just like Obama and healthcare, you pushed for your own selfish interest. But thanks for sharing. Unlike Dirty McAuliffe, you won't win. Of course, I could be wrong, it does seem that the Republicans can't field good candidates and lying wins (See Obama - Benghazi, NSA, Guantanamo, Obamacara, etc).

The courthouse renovation was needed if for no other reason that it is truly irreplaceable if demolished for the identity of the county and Floresville. In many respects, the apathetic turnout makes me wonder if any citizens of Wilson County truly do care about the future of their community, or merely what new chain store construction will cut down on their errands into San Antonio. However, I wasn't thrilled about all of the extras tacked onto the certificate. The renovation should have stood up to a vote on its own merits, not an animal shelter and other goodies for county government.

This flute is very reliable. It's a great step up from a beginner flute. Playing it for nearly eight years, I had very few maintenance costs. If you find this is a wonderful flute, I suggest trying out both the off-set and inline G styles as well as trying the flute with a split E and without, to decide if the split E is necessary. The most important part of the flute is the headjoint style. Try different headjoints to find the perfect one that helps you produce the sound you desire. Like with any flute, before deciding which flute is best, I would not only try different Yamaha's, but also try different brands. Always seek advice from someone who is knowledgeable with flutes, but remember, your band director's or flute teacher's recommended flute might not always be the perfect flute for you.

text: UNDATED (WXPR) - New state budget plans to borrow almost $1 billion to pay for proposed transportation programs is sending a fiscal warning. The Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance President Todd Berry says borrowing to pay for transportation projects accounts for 16 percent of road revenues compared to 6 percent ten years ago. He says Governors and legislators transferred money to the general fund when the transportation fund was flush, leaving the state needing to borrow to finish projects. At the current rate, debt service would account for nearly a quarter of the transportation budget by 2023. One factor was the 2005 end to the automatic increase in the state gas tax. Berry says they don't favor tax increases, but the transportation fund is lagging. "The income tax and sales tax have that every year, because as prices and incomes rise, the income from those taxes rise. The gas tax rate, when it was adjusting for inflation, essentially was just doing what the sales tax did, but without that, it effectively loses value every year." Berry says state officials need to sit down and discuss just how the state spends money on transportation projects. He says the state might have to trim its budget to meet realistic revenue projections rather than borrow.

Product FeaturesNarrow 850 nm band pass cameras will show only infrared light.
Available in M12 mount WEB cam, M12 mount FLAT cam and CS mount FLAT cam format. We also offer a more budget friendly version of the M12 and CS mount FLAT cam, which features a 3D printed case in lieu of the CNC machined acrylic case. The flat and web cameras perform the same.
The professional version of the flat cam has a custom acrylic housing, where as the budget friendly version has a 3D printed case with a snap-on lid. The lid and base for the professional version are attached using innovative magnets that really work, so you don't have to mess with screws. Cord channels on all flat versions allow the cord to exit on either the long or short side of the housing. All flat cases also have 2 mounting holes in the base so you can mount the camera to a horizontal or vertical surface with no screw heads showing on the top surface. We recommend the professional flat camera, if the slight upcharge for the custom housing is in your budget.
Features common to both flat and web cameras:
- This camera has been retrofitted with a tight band pass filter at 850 nm. 850 nm is far more popular with our multitouch customers than other wavelengths. The tightness of the pass band means the camera is very discriminating, which is what you want for a multitouch screen. The combination of these cameras and our IR 850 nm strips is battle-tested and works great.
- The m12 mount version allows you to add m12 lenses to the camera so that you get perfect, adjustable focus. The CS mount version uses CS lenses. Be sure the lens and camera mounts you buy match.
- Powered from USB 1.0/2.0
- The PlayStation Eye is capable of capturing standard video with frame rates of 60 hertz at a 640×480 pixel resolution, and 120 hertz at 320×240 pixels, which is "four times the resolution" and "two times the frame-rate" of the EyeToy, according to Sony. (To get the 120 per second frame rate on this camera, you need to use a suitable driver, and you may need to adjust your computer's config.xml file.)
- 2.1 mm 104° lens
- 2.8 mm 92° lens
- 3.6 mm 79° lens
- 4.3 mm 70° lens
- 6 mm 54° lens
- 8 mm 42° lens
- 12 mm 29° lens
We offer an extreme wide angle lens with almost no distortion for the CS mount FLAT cam. If you need to be close with no distortion, get that.
Selecting the proper lens for your multi touch surface is very important to ensure a maximum image area while minimizing distortion. The focal length of the lens is determined by the screen size and the distance between the lens and the surface. This handy calculator can be used to determine the appropriate focal length so that you maximize resolution.
To ensure quality and freedom from dust and scratches, cameras and lenses are not returnable.
Type M12 mount Lens 2.1, 2.8, 3.6, 4.3, 6, 8, 12 mm Length (English) 5.04 in Length (Metric) 128 mm Width (English) 3.06 in Width (Metric) 77.7 mm Height (English) 0.92 in Height (Metric) 23.4 mm Rating RoHS Warranty 1 year

I have found very few long wearing products that I can put up with. However, I love MAC Lustre Twins and Dior makes some standard lipsticks that last incredibly well.
For a deeper look at some long wearing products, also take a look at my review of Revlon, CoverGirl, Maybelline, and Milani long wearing products on Beauty on Fashion Tech.
Below is an article syndicated from Total Beauty on the matter that looks at some of the products that I have previously reviewed and more.
Do they really stay on? Read this real-woman road test
Slicking on a coat of lip color every five minutes lost its allure after junior high. Nowadays, we want color that lasts hours and a product that doesn't suck moisture from our lips. The Total Beauty Squad tested nine contenders to find ones with real staying power — enough to withstand cocktails and kisses. Find out which products delivered and which disappointed.

Some puppy love sparked action by the Gulfport City Council Tuesday. The council declared five Belgian Malinois puppies as "surplus property" that can be sold for $500 each.
Gulfport's police chief said the puppies belong to Tiara, the department's only female drug dog. He said female canines cannot be fixed because it affects their drive to work. So when in heat, extra precautions have to be taken or, well, puppies happen.
Although not confirmed, a Gulfport city spokesperson has pointed to the handler's other dog as the alleged father.

34th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
Malheureusement, il n'y a pas de version française de ce document.
Operational Guidelines for the Ramsar Small Grants Fund in the triennium 2006-2008
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to review and approve the Small Grants Fund Operational Guidelines for 2006-2008. The Standing Committee is further invited to confirm that the revised OECD DAC List of overseas development aid recipients should also form the basis for the allocation of funds by the Secretariat for sponsored delegates to Ramsar meetings, when not otherwise established by Resolutions of the Conference of Contracting Parties.
1. The Operational Guidelines for the Ramsar Small Grants Fund (SGF) provide guidance to Contracting Parties and others wishing to submit funding proposals, establish the project review and assessment procedures followed by the Secretariat, and publish the project cycle and timing for each of the three years of a triennium. They are considered and approved by the Standing Committee.
2. The draft Operational Guidelines for the 2006-2008 triennium, prepared by the Secretariat, are attached to this note. These are derived from those approved for the 2003-2005 triennium, with some proposed modifications which are summarised below.
3. So as to initiate the 2006 project cycle in a timely manner, the Secretariat has already made available to Contracting Parties these draft Operational Guidelines, noting that they are regarded as provisional pending approval by the 34th meeting of the Standing Committee.
4. No major amendments are proposed by the Secretariat to the structure and content of the Operational Guidelines, or to the procedures to be followed. Aside from minor language and editorial corrections to update the terminologies used in the text, the following modifications, based on the experience of the Secretariat staff in assessing and handling proposals during the 2003-2005 triennium, are drawn to the attention of the Standing Committee:
i) The text in Section A subsections II and III concerning eligibility to apply for funding and the forms of funding assistance available has been amended so as to make clearer which countries can apply, and which forms of assistance are available to Contracting Parties and which to non-Parties, and these clarifications are also reflected in Section B.1 (Project Summary and Endorsement Form). As before, eligibility is based on the OECD List of Aid Recipients (DAC list), but note that an updated DAC list was issued by OECD in December 2005 (see below), and this will now form the basis of countries' eligibility.
ii) The project cycle in Annex I has been updated for 2006-2008, and the Standing Committee may wish to note that owing to the anticipated timings of its future meetings it will be necessary to circulate and consult electronically on the Secretariat's recommendations for project approvals, at least for the 2006 cycle.iii) Following difficulties in the submission of clear budget information in a significant number of projects in recent years, the guidance and budget tables for the provision of project budget information in Section B.2 (H.) have been restructured and clarified.
5. In December 2005, the OECD issued an updated Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list of overseas development aid recipients, for reporting on 2005, 2006 and 2007. This list is included in the SGF Operational Guidelines as Section G. The Standing Committee may wish to reaffirm the terms of its Decisions SC25-28 and SC26-40 that this DAC List should form the basis of eligibility for SGF funds and the allocation of funds by the Secretariat for sponsored delegates to Ramsar meetings, when not otherwise established by Resolutions of the Conference of Contracting Parties. It should be noted that the new DAC List is no longer divided into Parts I and II, and that countries with economies in transition no longer form a separate category. The new List contains four categories of countries and territories: Least Developed Countries, Other Low Income Countries, Lower Middle Income Countries and Territories, and Upper Middle Income Countries and Territories.
6. On this basis, the Secretariat suggests that the Standing Committee's decision on this matter could read as follows:
a) the OECD DAC List of Aid Recipients should continue to be used mutatis mutandis as applying to Ramsar Contracting Parties, and other countries that are eligible for accession, for eligibility for the Small Grants Fund as established by Resolution VI.6;
b) the Secretariat, when allocating assistance for participation at Ramsar meetings, should use the OECD DAC list in the following order of priorities, when not otherwise established by Resolutions of the Conference of Contracting Parties:i) Least Developed Country (LDC) Contracting Parties;
ii) Other Low Income Contracting Parties;
iii) Contracting Parties which are Lower Middle Income Countries and Territories; and
iv) Contracting Parties which are Upper Middle Income Countries and Territories;
c) in case funds are still available, they should be allocated to a second delegate from LDCs; and

With its slim design, fantastic screen, and oodles of power, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 is a superb smaller tablet, and a worthy competitor to the ever-popular iPad Mini.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 delivers everything casual tablet users will need, but it's all tied down to an inflated price tag that makes comparable options more attractive to budget-conscious shoppers.
The premium specs and high-end feel of the Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 make it well worth the high price.
It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung's best non-Note tablet yet.
Sure, it's cheap, but what exactly are you getting for the $199 price? Let's start with a lack of storage place and a low-resolution screen.
An exceptional screen and a long list of software goodies make the Galaxy Tab S Samsung's best tablet to date and our top Android choice for an entertainment slate.
The Nokia 5700 Xpress Music cell phone continues the trend set by the Nokia 5300, offering a satisfying combination of features, performance, and design.
A reduced MSRP and a great picture make this midrange projector's price-to-performance ratio the best in the business.

Shooters who know their photographic stuff will be thrilled with the Nikon Coolpix 5700's sophisticated feature set.

Awesome Full Daedric Armor SKYRIM cosplay.. see more by going here
I've been watching this for the last ten minutes. My mom, who was in the room, left the third or fourth time I replayed it and began reciting the lines. A bloody big ship, indeed.
the 'it's gonna be okay' journal, a journal to reassure yourself when you're overwhelmed by the creeping sense of impending disaster and the all-encompassing fears both specified and vague that colonise your mind, body, and soul, all of which, from the completely far-fetched to the sometimes probable, do you no good to contemplate and in fact make you miserable, and even though optimism may be unself-aware and ill-placed, you know you'll be happier as a blind fool than as a clairvoyant apocalyptic.

One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn't too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President's Secret Service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner. Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, "Why was he so interested in talking to you?" She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, "So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant," to which Michelle responded:
"No. If I had married him, he would now be the President."
There are literally no words to express how much I fucking love this quote.

Facts about the UK
- The UK only has eight residents, all of which know each other personally and have large manors where they take it in turns to host elevensies where only the finest tea and scones are served.
- The Queen is our most well known occupant.
- She smells very nice.
- In between being evil bad guys and spying for our country, we occasionally like to stroll into the country side and chase after animals until we grow tired. The most commonly chased animals are sheep. By our Welsh friend Gavin. We don't like to talk about that much.
- There has not been a sober Scot in over 800 years. Legend say 'When the sober Scot rises, the kingdom shall fall'. We like to keep them topped up, just in case.
- Our English residents are incredibly posh. Rumour has it there are six whole teeth between them. I think that's just a myth though, I've seen Jeremy Kyle.
- And finally, our Northern Irish brothers. We don't really understand what they're saying, but we're pretty confident they use rainbows to signal stolen pots of gold.
- Our rainy season lasts from January until the apocalypse. Neither please us.
- Our chief exports include: heartbreak and cheek bones, occasional phrases such as 'keep calm' and 'bloody hell' to be expected
- We set fire to precipitation and wear the same jeans for days on end to make them suitable for discos.
- If you drive into our airports you will probably be set on fire. And then punched.
- Our most spotted wildlife includes: Unicorns, lions, dragons and haggis
- We also have a pet Sealand. We found it just off the coast. Well, technically it's not ours, but we promised we'd walk it and feed it and let it sleep in Cornwall when it's being good, so we're just waiting approval.
- The answer is always the Blue Whale as far as we're concerned. Always.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I am pretty much your average disc golfer. I am 45, 6'2", 238lbs, and I played baseball growing up on into college as a pitcher. I stayed active into my mid 30's, but my job put me at a desk and having kids stopped my athletic activities. I also tore my left ACL and have yet to have it fixed.
I picked up disc golf about 18 months ago and it just clicked with me. I have played close to 500 rounds in that time and I've lost 52 pounds. I feel great, my left knee is pain free,…Continue

This year's proto is unique and sweet, and we think you're going to love it! It's the widest diameter putt and approach model Discraft has ever offered, so it can legally weigh in at a hefty 183 grams (subject to PDGA approval)... that's at least a full seven grams more than other putters! The disc is obedient to its master and goes where you throw it, delivering directional precision and soft, flat landings. The rim is beadless and feels great in your hand. Think of it as a shorter,…Continue
