Does Kerry understand that unless the guy is publicly tortured and executed, the Afghans will consider us to be treating him too well? It's a losing battle.
Kerry must absolutely love this. He can use this to tarnish all the military, with glee.
Prosecuting the murderer isn't going to appease those crazy people. They stone adulterers and behead journalists. They won't be satisfired until the streets run red with the blood of the white man. If there's one thing I will always disagree with fellow liberals about, it's dealing with with muslim countries. Liberal western democracy is superior to fascist theocracy and we must be willing to pound that message home.
We have to destroy these theocrats, or completely surround them and prevent them from influencing world affairs.
Marfan boy is having Christmas in Cambodia again.
2: 37 you sound even worse that those you vilify. Now go get some self awareness.
kerry is worthless. his sole responsibility should be to ensure that this serviceman receives every ounce of expert defense possible. the fact that this man has been on four tours and suffered traumatic head injuries is heartbreaking in its blantant disregard for his wellbeing. the guy who approved his deployment should be on trial. get ready for kerry to bend down to the afghans, just as this entire administration does.
You're a fool.
It is discouraging to anyone trying to understand what people think when one reads comments like those
@ 2:37 and 3:25.
Very destructive, it explains why there are so few comments made in this blog compared to other similar websites.
4:13 i think destructive is allowing a soldier with a traumatic head injury to serve his fourth tour in a suicide mission. u think destructive are a few choice words on a BLOG. who's the discouraging, pitiful person?
betsy ross , thanks for defending our flag
You are right about the dreadful conditions that our professional military have to face because of demands of wars in two theaters. There us however little to be gained by insulting people others respect, or attacking and bullying using umpleasant language.
It is easy to be rude and vulgar when a blog does not take measures such as registration, membership or use of real names. Your very valid points and perspective on issues will be more respectable if you try to be civil.
Trust that you will not call me ugly names. It is time to start healing the divisions in our politics and a step towards that is to be respectful and thoughtful in a BLOG.
6:55 what r u talking about? specifically what in my post was vulgar? regarding the use of 'discouraging' and 'pitiful', it was in response to 4:13, who used those words describing my post. with respect to describing john kerry as worthless, as a massachusetts resident and a kerry constituent, i can tell you that this senator is absolutely WORTHLESS. i cannot recall anything of any substance that this man has introduced or stood for. that is fact, not namecalling. if you were a massachusetts resident, you ould perhaps counter with a substantive argument, but since you don't, you need to be clear and accurate about your criticism. you have been neither.
It's more about style than substance miss betsy ross. At the end we remember more the nastiness in the way the comment is made than the essence of the comment. You have become a paradigm of nastiness and lack of respect.
Maybe you feel that you are gaining something, but reading what you write leaves always a bitter taste.
Hope you are not like that with everyone around you, it's a path to unhappiness.
Why didn't Kerry also say that we should move "rapidly" with the prosecution of Hasan, charged with killing 13 people at Fort Hood, and wounding dozens more? Hey, if one mass murdering soldier gets delays for "pretrial preparation", shouldn't they all ?????
Aren't our American citizens/soldiers, also murdered by one who was supposed to be "one of them", as important as Afghan civilians?
Where is Kerry's consistency?
If this soldier gets the death penalty, SURELY Hasan will too ??????
Some huge similarities the more I think about it.
You can, as usual, sum it up with few words. : )
Kerry's personal mythology remembered.
Almost cricket like on this one, where is the left to defend Kerry?
Wonder if the Hasan analogy is bothering them?
Hasan's prosecution should move quickly? hard to argue that..
Yes it is Sam, but Kerry didn't jump up and say that when his lawyer called for a time extension.
Leads me to feel like some think that this situation is more important than a similar one in which our soldiers were brutally murdered.
Perhaps Kerry should also call for them to stop putting off the Hasan trial too ? or perhaps he should just let the military handle it all, in the best way they see fit?
Sam, you are right, as the silence continues.
No one can argue that.
Throughout history the names of criminals have never been withheld from the public. Why this one?
Probably because he's an ivy-league educated progressive liberal from a wealthy well-connected muslim family with an Arab name.

The nation's sequester will potentially cost Iowa programs more than $46 million, according to information released by Iowa Department of Management Director David Roederer this morning. This comes after the White House and Congress failed to meet the deadline to prevent $85 billion in budget cuts nationwide.
Roederer held a briefing in Des Moines, outlining the impact.
Education programs take the biggest hit, at more than 14 million dollars.Public Health and Humans Rights programs follow, adding up to a combined 13 million dollars.
More than 235 budgeted positions could be impacted, but it's not known how many could face layoffs or furloughs.
The total state and federal budget for Iowa is about $12 billion.

Laundry To Landscape: Greywater Gardens
The Gardenist
With the record breaking heat and drought thoroughout the country this summer, water bans have been pervasive. How do you continue to water your garden within the rules? Answer: Make the most of the water you are allowed to use.
Laundry to Landscape? I'm still trying to think through whether, in my own home (which uses well water and a septic system), capturing grey water is worth the effort as an environmental improvement. I am, however, quite sure that for city dwellers and those using town water, particularly in arid environments, making good use of every drop of water is smart.
This easy to install Laundry to Landscape system, built using greywater guru Art Ludwig's free open-source plans, seems simple enough. It certainly requires greater attention to detergent choices and a greater level of understanding about what is needed and not needed in your soil, but with a little extra effort, you might be able to water your garden after all. Take care though — many municipalities have regulations around greywater systems that are worth researching to avoid running into trouble.
Art Ludwig has written extensively on the subject in his book The New Create an Oasis with Greywater: Choosing, Building and Using Greywater Systems - Includes Branched Drains, and additionally you can check into this post at Root Simple to learn from someone who has used Art's plans to build a system.

I do believe I was once told that some municipal waste water treatment programs rely on the grey-water remaining in their system to dilute more waste-based effluent to optimize their treatment processes. So in some systems, diverting grey-water for garden use would undermine other actions. Worth investigating before experimenting.
Rain barrels and runoff collection, of course, are a separate issue -- if you get rain. (This year we, in NH, got lots, but I am painfully aware that many other areas suffered from the lack.)
Good input Sherry. I'm sure that if the municipality started noticing a substantial drop in grey water they would ask you to curb it.
I wish that all areas had better grey water recyling and water conservation efforts. Why can we build an oil pipeline from Alaska but we can't pipe water from wet New England to the dry southwest?
@Funstraw, I'd gladly have routed my flooded back yard your way if I could have! In about an hour, the low part of my yard acquired at least inches of water. It all drained away as quickly, but it was impressive when the storm drains backed up and spouted like geysers! I never saw that much water fall all at once, ever!
Please make sure that greywater is legal where you are. In Georgia, for example, it isn't. Of course, if you're talking about small, unobtrusive uses like capturing bath water for use on your indoor plants who's to know? But larger systems designed to utilize water from dishwashers, washing machines, etc., may cause a problem.
As Sherrybinnnh said, rain barrels are great. But do check the pH of that water. I put out a rain barrel to capture runoff from the roof of my new house and the water was so acid (maybe from the rain, maybe from something used to build the roof) that I couldn't even use it on acid-loving azaleas. Now, THAT was annoying!
i can't believe some places actually restrict greywater! crazy!!! i mean, assuming you're not using bleach or something, a few suds is certainly better than rain on a street. the little bit of soap also helps to prevent mosquitos from laying eggs in the standing water. win win the suds are also a nice way to protect some plants from pests. martha says so!
what i do is just run the hose of my washing machine into my pitcher. a little soap is good for my plants. i have 2 large rain barrels (i live in se asia so this is common) that i fill w/ the laundry water. i carry it around in buckets & my garden stayed green through the dry season w/o me using any extra water. also, i got a nice workout from carrying all those buckets of water. hahaha if you're going to do this, i seriously suggest having a few diff barrels sitting around.
If you plan on using laundry water it might be better to use a detergent alternative or go without. At our house we use the SmartKlean laundry ball. http://www.smartklean.com/
No soap, softener, or dryer sheets needed. You don't even need the extra rinse cycle! It's changed my laundry habits forever!
This would allow you to easily use your greywater without the concern for detergents or other chemicals getting into your plants or the environment.
@sherry, I'm in Brooklyn, so I'm good with water, thanks.
We've been using our washing machine gray water for YEARS to water the plants in the back yard. I mean at least a couple decades now. Its mostly used on ornamental succulents, but we use it on stuff we eat as well. Don't use any special soaps either. It works great for us.
Been doing this forever! Everywhere I live I rig the washer drain hose to go outside into the garden. Why this isn't required by law is beyond me! I don't use detergent or soap. A little baking soda and vinegar. And only cold water. My clothes never wear out! (Oh, we also hang dry. Never used a dryer.) Here in New Mexico water is very scarce. So every drop is precious. We wash & rinse our dishes in a dish pan & pour that water into the garden. In the bathroom a small basin is used in the sink to catch water from hand washing, teeth brushing, men's shaving. That water is poured into the toilet for flushing. Also there is a bucket in the shower to catch excess water which we use for watering the indoor plants & mopping floors. Not only is all this water conservation so much more ecologically sound, but we have the lowest water bills of anyone we know. July's water bill for 3 adults living in the house: $65.
Yeah, I know watering plants during drought is really a very big problem in North America. People facing the same problem just connect to Gottashopit. And the best part is you can get your job done at the lowest price.
I live in an area with a high water table and my sump pump runs year-round (even during summer droughts). I had a plumber friend add a Y pipe and lever to the sump pump discharge pipe after it leaves the house; with the lever in the normal position it discharges to the storm sewer as usual, but when I switch the lever it discharges into a rain barrel I've placed next to the pipe on the side of the house - and then I can use this water for my plants and garden. It only takes a day or two for the rain barrel to be full. A switch of the lever and the water discharges back into the storm sewer until I need to refill the rain barrel. Too bad when the house was built no one thought about adding a below-ground cistern to collect the water, but the rain barrel works just fine.

Anybody else think Steve Spurrier was funnier when he had a good football team?
Spurrier threw himself on the mercy of the SEC media Friday — and how low must you go to do that? — saying he was the coach who did not vote for Florida quarterback Tim Tebow as a first-teamer on the pre-season all-SEC team. Spurrier's vote came as a surprise, given that Tebow has won a Heisman Trophy (he should've won two), played on two national championship teams and leads many to believe that he's the best college football player in history, including Georgia coach Mark Richt. (See quote below.) Also, Spurrier has one or two ties to the Gators.
Well, now Spurrier says it was all a mistake. He said one of his staff members at South Carolina actually filled out the ballot for the All-SEC team. That's not only believable, it's highly probable. Coaches seldom do this sort of thing themselves. It's often a low-level assistant or somebody in the school's sports information office. (And while we're on the subject: The head coaches that "vote" in the polls that REALLY matter seldom do that themselves, either. They have more important things on their mind, like winning games and personal survival.)
But here's the question: What are the odds that Spurrier actually did what he said — that he saw the ballot and signed off on it without actually noticing Mississippi's Jevan Snead was listed as the SEC's No. 1 QB? How do you not notice Tim Tebow is missing from the All-SEC team?
If it's almost any other coach, I'm probably inclined to believe him. But this is Spurrier. He's not evil. He's harmless. He's an entertainer. The man lives to tweak. He lives to goof around and get under an opponent's skin — and by the way, I have no problem with that.
So let me lay out this scenario: Spurrier's assistant filled out the ballot, Spurrier saw it, laughed and said, "Ah, what the heck. Let's have some fun with this."
Hey, just throwing it out there. (Let me add this, too: This who didn't-vote-for-Tebow drama has played out for two weeks.)
I know Spurrier has nothing against Tebow — he has praised him as much as everybody else has. But his ego has to have taken a few shots in recent years, given what Urban Meyer has done with the Florida program that Spurrier turned around and Ron Zook let deteriorate. Spurrier is no less of a deity in Gainesville than he was before Meyer arrived. But now he's sharing the stage. Can we really put this past him? It created a story. Spurrier lives for stories. What else is he going to do? Tell everybody how great South Carolina is going to be? Nobody would believe that.
Back to Richt: How high is his admiration for Tebow? Here's a quote I have leftover from Thursday: "He might be the greatest player-slash-leader ever in college football. When you take his ability, his production, his leadership, his ability to get everybody to rally around him, I don't know if there's many like that."
OK. Your turn. Any thoughts on Spurrier's apology?

No Jeff, no thoughts at all. This might be the biggest overblown non-story I have seen in a long long time. So Tebow did not get a lousy stinkin' SEC vote. Life will go on. Tebow will be fine. He probably couldn't give a crap anyway. Good lord. LET IT GO.
July 24th, 2009
12:27 pm
Jeff, come on, is this really a news story?
besides, don't you remember a certain young man that played running back at uga, Named Walker, ( imho ) , is the best college football player ever, at any position, and he should have won 3 Heisman Trophy's.
oh yeah, by the way

July 24th, 2009
12:47 pm
Blaming a staff member and having to grovel to Tebow and the Gator faithful is embarassing for someone who used to be on top of the college football world.
Spurrier needs to quit at SC before that place breaks his spirit, as it has every other man who has tried to coach there.

What I loved was Spurrier's statement that he "didn't sleep worth a dang last night" after discovering that his was the vote in question. Are we really supposed to believe that he has been unaware of this for the past week? No way.
July 24th, 2009
12:56 pm
Jeff, I don't think you would believe any SEC coach unless that coach was Mark Richt. Seriously, if Mark Richt had been the one who failed to vote for Tebow, you would have written a lengthy article defending him and how signing off on a card of relative or total unimportance was normal and that Richt had far better things to do. Well, I believe Spurrier did the same and you want to make a stupid story about it. Don't you have anything else better to write about. Who cares about preseason rankings of players anyway? Go write a relevant story about the upcoming football season like your AJC mate Bradley is doing this morning. My, my, what we won't do with time on our hands.
July 24th, 2009
12:57 pm
this one is easy. tebow is tarnishing spurrier's legacy as the greatest florida quarterback ever.
and for those gators who want to scream "what about danny wuerffel" – not so fast my friend.
spurrier was also the kicker for the gators in his day……..
wasn't an oversight. it was ego. and an attempt to get in tebow's head. some things never change.

WOW-so we've outed the person who DARED to not vote Tim Tebow first team all-SEC. Thank god for the truth comission! What an egregious sin to actually have an opinion that might differ from the pack. The conventional wisdom apparently is that picking Snead over Tebow is some kind of hate crime. WTF???

Spurrier is a snake. He showed his true colors. He does not like being upstaged by Meyer or Teebow. Now, who is the greatest quarterback in Florida history. Who is the greatest coach. Not Spurrier. I knew it was him as soon as I heard one coach did not vote for Teebow. Spurrier has problem. Head problems. It is good to see him squirm. Well deserved.

I'll never forgive or forget Spurrier in Athens the year they played there running up the score and laughing about it. Florida was far better that day and had more than proved their point
( i don't buy the theory that it was the 3rd string and Georgia had quit). It just showed a lot abou t that guy that day. His shine is dimming at Carolina……..They better hope he hangs it up this year. His heart ain't in it….Carolina, look for Charlie Strong to be your next head coach, and As Dawg fan , I hate to see that……

I think tebow is great. I think Spurrier is a jackass. I want to hate them both. It is part of what makes football enjoyable. I deeply regret that Spurrier apologized. If you're going to be a jackass; don't be a placating jackass. Now, this story has gone too far and is distracting me from real news like MJ's doctor or Mike and Kates new lovers.
July 24th, 2009
1:32 pm
by the way, the reason I hate to see Charlie Strong come to Carolina ? I don't know what kind of coach he will be, but after 3 years, he'll have 30-35 or so Florida high school athletes recruited and in Columbia. Their talent will take a big up tick……………

Still love Spurrier. And he's damn right Tebow should have 2 Heisman's already. Chump coaches who didn't vote ethically – only filled out the 1st place spot (where Tebow had the most votes) and left the rest blank. CHUMPS!!!! and Jealou

…but unless you are as old as, or older than, I (I was in the 4th – 7th grades, living in Tallahassee when Spurrier played at UF and won the Heismann), then you have no idea of what you speak if you think Wuerffel was the best ever UF QB until Tebow.

How much did the Evil Genius pay the reporter to ask Tebow if he was a virgin? Virgin football studs, prima donna coaches, bonehead plays that win NCs for Miles, blacked out jets landing in the middle of the night, backbiting and backstabbing, God, I love the SEC! The SEC knows drama! It's no wonder ESPN is forking over billions for this soap opera.

[...] The Journal-Constitution's Jeff Schultz doesn't believe it was as simple as an oversight, but hey, let's give the Ol' Ball Coach the benefit of the doubt. Or we could stop pretending the preseason All-SEC team matters in any way shape or form, and instead go back to discussing the truly important matters at hand: questioning Tim Tebow's virginity with nothing more than photos on the Internet. It'd be funny if I didn't want to blow my brains out! [...]

This is the same complaint I had of Thom Brennaman after the BCS Championship game when he was offended that Colt McCoy or Sam Bradford or Graham Harrell could not possibly be as good a player as Tebow. What makes it so deplorable for someone to think another QB is as good or better than Tim Tebow? Even is Spurrier did vote Jevan Sneed over Tebow, why does he need to apologize for that? Beyond that, why does everyone else seem to think it's their responsibility to get offended for Tebow. He wasn't wronged in any way, so another person got ONE STINKIN VOTE…. big deal, it's not exactly a war crime against humanity. Spurrier ain't exactly guilty of genocide just because he voted for Sneed.

AS I said i wouldn't forgive or forget, not that it was wrong…..a lot of fine historical SEC coach's would not have done that……..Spurrier hates Georgia from his playing day's when Dooley, and especially DE Bill Stanfill made his life miserable…. I'm sure Bill made a few comments to ole Steve while he was crushed under him in one of 6-7 sacks that day that he never forgot. He got his revenge….

There's nothing here. It's not really a story.
Just an oversight. Spurrier doesn't have an ax to grind. He's been there done that. 6 sec championships and a natl championship. He just thinks these things are silly and got caught. He doesn't get caught up in who's best, voting, etc… hell, he votes Duke in the top 25 every year in response to their being responsible for jumpstarting his HC career. That's how serious he takes these things… we're just passin the time 'til ball starts aren't we?

Now Florida knows what we already knew. Spurrier is a prick. Despite all the Gator's defense of this jerk, you now know we were right all along.
Think about this, if some staff guy did this, that staff guy would have had to do have doen two two things:
1) Actually think that someone was more deserving than Tebow,
2) Think that Spurrier wouldn't mind his name being connected to that ballot.
Even if 1 were true (unlikely) don't you think at least he warns Spurrier? Would you take the chance of making the coach look stupid? No way.
He did it on purpose but knows that he has to protect his team against the onslaught in November. No way this wasn't intentional.
He is a lying scumbag. He has been a scumbag for years, but now we can add the "lying" too.

JB, you are correct! Bill Stanfill did have quite a bit to say to Spurrier after sacking him. "Sorry I stepped on your dress there Stevie"!

Chevy unveiled its all-new Trailblazer this week at the Bangkok International Motor Show. Dubbed by the manufacturer as "Chevy's most significant play in the competitive body-on-frame SUV segment," the Trailblazer comes in two and four-wheel-drive configurations and three-row, tumble and fold-flat seating.
Power comes from GM's new 4-cylinder Duramax turbo-diesel engines, with 2.5L and 2.8L displacements for 150 and 180 hp respectively, which the brand says are designed to last 240,000 km. Additional powertrains for other markets are TBA.
Chevy says the Trailblazer his the sweet spot between off-roader and urban commuter, with independent five-link rear suspension, and coil springs that provide better suspension articulation. It was developed in tandem with the Colorado mid-size pick-up.
The Trailblazer features exterior styling developed at GM's South American Design Centre in São Caetano do Sul, Brazil, and such standard features as electronic stability control, hydraulic brake assist, traction control, electronic brakeforce distribution, panic brake assist, engine drag control, hill descent control, and dynamic rear brake proportioning.

Great Yarmouth, ...
this is a pattern I have used before, but as I made it in this stretchy velvet I could do it without the buttons in the back , stitch the side seams, put in sleeves and literally wear the top after 1 hour :-)). The fabric was left over from a dress I made a while ago, and luckily there was just enough and I love how well the colour matches the skirt.

Just gorgeous, i thought you might have made this when i saw your fabulous suit. I forgot to ask what pattern did you use for your suit. I really love the jacket shape x

thank you very much Mary ! The top was really so easy, seeing I didn't need all those buttons. I love it very much and will wear it loads no doubt !
the patterns I used were: skirt no. 107/02/11, jacket no. 120/08/2011 and the top 131/05/2012.
I am not so thrilled with the jacket, it's ok open, but don't like it that much with the zip closed. Not a difficult pattern though, but probably better with a stretchy material. The fabric I used, is a bit too stiff.

Questions & Answers
Vickerman Salem Pencil Pine 4.5' Green Artificial Christmas Tree with 110 Multicolored LED Lights with Stand
Very nice little tree
Linda Arney from Maricopa, AZ– Verified Buyer
This tree costs twice what the ones in the discount stores do, so I thought it better be really nice, and it is. Very natural looking tree, with just the right amount of fullness to fit in my little living room. The LED lights are bright and look lovely. And it came with a separate, extra strand of lights - an unexpected bonus. My only complaint is that two of the lights on the tree were not working, and there were only two extra bulbs. A couple more extras would have been nice.

"And me!" I got one for myself and walked into the dining room and sat at the table "Hello?! Did you forget someone?" frank sat in front of me
"Yea" he looked up into the cabinet
"Gerard; do mind getting Frankie?"
"No, I'll get him" he got up from the chestnut table and walked down the hall
"OWE!! PUT ME DOWN!!" I heard frank scream
"IT'S PIZZA TIME GET UP!!" Gerard yelled back
"I NO WANNA!!" frank screamed
"GET YOUR A DOUBLE S UP!!" Gerard bellowed
"Hey! HEY! PUT ME DOWN!!" frank screamed
"Oh god" Ray said looking down the hallway
"HELP! HELP! HE HOLDING ME HOSTAGE!!" frank yelled down the hall to me
I leaned from the counter to look out the opened door frame
"Ahh... no" and I looked back to what I was doing
"Oh, Oh, oh now I get. I get you!" frank said from over the shoulder of Gerard; Gerard picked him up from the room and threw him over his shoulder
"I got him!" Gerard said from the door frame
"Okay, thanks"
"Oh and Frankie; you don't got me; see; you don't have any part of me!" I pulled on my arms and legs
"You disgust me" his eyes squinted
"Oh I feel loved" I hugged myself
"Oh shut up and Gerard?"
"Hmm?" he looked over
"PUT ME DOWN!" he screamed as Gerard threw him down to the ground
"Owe!" frank rubbed the back of his head
"You didn't say how to put you down; you just said to put you down; so hey; don't get mad at me" he shrugged and walked over to were everyone else was
"Yea, yea, shut it" frank sat up
"Okay; who wants pizza?" I looked through the door
"ME!" everyone screamed
I laughed and walked back into the kitchen and cut the pizza in 6 slices
"Okay; Gerard and Bob; come get yours"
I put the slices in the plate as Gerard and Bob walked into the door
"Now Ray and Mikey"
I put two more slices
"And me!" I got one for myself and walked into the dining room and sat at the table
"Hello?! Did you forget someone?" frank sat in front of me
"No" I looked at him with one cheek full
"Hello?! ME??" he yelled
"Oh yea, it's in the trash can; fish for it" I started eating the pizza again
"Ugh" he rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen saying that I was so unfair
"Yea, yea stuff it"
"You know, I can't be you can" he smirked; I had no idea what he was doing until he came up to me and threw a cake in my face
"Oh no" Bob back away from the table
"FRANKIE! YOU ARE DEAD!!!" I screamed
"Uh, I'll just be in my room; cowering in fear" and he ran
Frank took off and I followed after him
"FRANK IERO!!!!!!" I screamed with vanilla cake in my mouth "YOUR DEAD!" all frank did was scream like a girl and run around like a kid.
