Fire safety is a topic that is too lightly covered, imho. The schools do fire drills and some schools will have firefighters come in and talk about safety but not enough is being done to teach kids what to do in a real emergency.
Here are some great ideas for promoting fire safety with children:
- Find a local fire department that has access to a smoke trailer.� This is an amazing experience for any kid.� They can sit inside this trailer as it fill with "smoke."� They will see first hand how hard it is to see, what to do, and what firemen look like in their gear.
- Teach older kids what to do in case of a fire when they are cooking.� Do you have a kitchen fire extinguisher that you want they to use? These skills are not going to be taught by anyone else then you, so make sure they know how to deal with things like a grease fire.
- Have the little ones play online at Sparky.org where they can learn while they interact with fund cartoons characters.
- Develop a REAL home fire plan and practice it.� I know it sounds silly but actually set your spoke detectors off in the middle of the night to see what the kids would do.� Have them drill and drill and drill until it become second nature.� Think about how many times you have told your kids about "stranger danger"….why not the same thing with fire safety.
- Post emergency numbers in an obvious place.� We have a magnetic white board on the fridge with emergency numbers including the home number and address for when they call 911.
- In case of fire: teach kids DON'T HIDE, GO OUTSIDE! Kids need to know that fires are scary, but they should NEVER hide in closets or under beds when there is a fire.
- Keep it simple. Children learn when the rules are straight forward and easy to remember. STOP, DROP, and ROLL….and WHERE the meeting place is!
- Use teachable moments. Reinforce your discussions about fire safety whenever the topic arises — for example, when there is a fire in the news or in a book, or when you see a fire, ask your children what they would do if they were in that situation. Or, like me, when you accidentally set a napkin on fire when passing it across the table!
- Teach the little ones how to break open a window if needed.� If you have elementary school kids sharing a room and they have no way out, make sure they know how to get out in an emergency.
- Repeat, repeat, repeat.
Likewise….here are some other safety tips.
Child Safety Tips: 10 Things You Can Do In 10 Minutes Or Less To Make Your Home Safer
by Ken Levinson on September 24, 2010
These child safety tips can all make your home safer in 10 minutes or less.
Okay, parents, I hope you�re wearing running shoes because you�re about to get a child safety themed workout.
I�ve compiled a minute by minute workout schedule that will turn you into a lean, mean, child injury prevention machine. You should be able to do execute each of these child safety tips in 10 minutes or less�
On your mark.� Get set.� Go!
1. Child Chemical Safety
Let�s start out in the kitchen.� Look around to make sure all household chemicals are not accessible to children.
You might not realize it, but to children, these chemicals look similar to their favorite fruit drinks, so your child might not understand that blue window cleaner isn�t blue-raspberry Kool-aid. To prevent a case of mistaken identity, put hazardous materials on higher shelves, not close to your food, of course.
If you can�t store your cleaning products anywhere else but near floor level, lock your cupboard doors tight with a child proof lock.
2. Child Climbing Safety
While you�re still in the kitchen, start looking for opportunities your child might have to climb to unsafe heights. Reposition any climbable pieces of furniture to deter children from using them as ladders to your kitchen counter.
Your kids probably love sweets so keep those goodies in a locked pantry or in a locked shelf lower than counter height.� That way your kids don�t have to climb anything to find out they don�t have access to their tasty temptations.
3. Child Hot Water Safety
Still with me? If so, you�re doing great!� But now it�s time for a bit of a run.
Head to your basement or wherever your hot water heater is located.� Read the temperature setting. If your hot water heater is set to anything above 120-125 degrees fahrenheit or above medium, it�s too hot.
According to the National Ag Safety Database, it only takes takes two seconds for a child to receive third degree burns from water at 150 degrees, five seconds if the water is at 140 degrees and 30 seconds at 130 degrees.
Turning the water heater down to a proper setting should be easy to do, but if you can�t figure it out, call a trusted friend or plumber.
4. Child Sharp Object Safety
While you�re in the basement, grab an empty bottle of laundry detergent, tear the labels off and write �SHARPS� or �DANGER� on both sides.
You now have your own container for proper disposal of sharp objects.
Whatever it may be, sewing needles, thumb tacks, nails, if you don�t have a place for it, put it in the sharps container.� This is a method medical professionals use to dispose of hazardous sharp objects, so it�s child safety expert and doctor approved.
Store the sharps container in a secure, child safe location and get ready to move!
5. Child Electrical Safety
It�s time for an electrical outlet check.
Head back up the stairs and through your house to each individual outlet to make sure they all have child proof covers.
Children are more likely to tamper with your electrical outlets than you might think.� The National Electrical Manufacturers Association estimates that an average of seven children per day are treated in emergency rooms for injuries due to electrical outlet contact.
Child safety covers prevent unnecessary child injury by keeping kids from sticking their fingers and metallic objects in electrical outlets. Until your children are old enough to know better, keep all the outlets in your home covered.
6. Child Suffocation Safety
Did you see any plastic bags lying out in the open during your last lap around the house?� If you did and you didn�t pick them up, well, looks like it�s another lap for you.
Kids who like to play make believe can see colorful, plastic grocery bags as masks that can turn them into astronauts and monsters, but these bags can easily suffocate your child.
Gather all your plastic bags together and store them in a safe, secure place like the now locked cabinet you keep your household chemicals in.
7. Child Shelf Safety
If you are one of those reading types who hasn�t replaced their paperbacks and hardcovers with e-books, there are probably bookshelves around your house.
Although your children may be learning to read, they see bookshelves more as ladders than �knowledge storage devices.�� The CPSC estimates that in 2006, more than 16,000 children five years old and younger were treated in emergency rooms due to furniture and appliance tipovers.
Secure bookshelves, and all other shelving units in your home, to walls so there is no chance of them falling over when your child decides he�s the next Indiana Jones.
8. Child Padding Safety
Alright, now do another lap around your house, this time looking for sharp corners and edges on furniture and walls.
More than likely, there are more edges and corners that could use padding than you can do in under ten minutes, but make a note of their locations.
There are a number of different manufacturers who specialize in making child safe edging for furniture and walls.� If you don�t want to pay $15 a foot, though, use foam pipe edging and clear tape.� It works just as well at a fraction of the cost.
9. Child Window Safety
Windows always spell trouble for children.
Windows with blinds usually mean low hanging cords that kids like to play with.� These cords are choking hazards so secure them at a higher altitude by coiling them up with a rubber band or piece of string.
Push all chairs and other pieces of climbable furniture away from windows so that children have less access to them.
And if you like keeping your windows open and haven�t invested in some child safe window guards, you need to install them soon.
10. Child Refrigerator Safety
It�s the home stretch!� Get to your refrigerator.
If you have small magnets on the fridge, either take them off or move them higher and out of reach.� Your child can easily pluck the magnets off the fridge and put them in their mouths.
Also, open your refrigerator door and determine if the seal is strong enough to keep a child from opening it.� If it�s not, add a latch system to the door for extra security.
11. Relax
I ended the workout in front of your refrigerator on purpose.� Open it up and grab something cold to drink or stick your head in the freezer to cool off.
You�re looking buff and now your home is now child safety expert approved.
Have anything you�d like to add?� Leave a comment and let me know.

Kanye West teams up with Vogue Italia
Italian Vogue's Franca Sozzani has invited Kanye West to take part in a new creative project about Africa next year.
Kanye West is collaborating with Vogue Italia.
The rapper has been invited to work on a new project for the fashion bible by Editor-in-Chief Franca Sozzani, who praised the budding designer's versatility and creative thinking.
Franca told E! News: ''We just [figured] out a new project for next. It's about Africa, art and music. He's more than music. He's not only about music.''
The fashion maven revealed she had already had meetings with Kanye - who is thought to be working on another clothing line - but remained tight-lipped about the nature of the project.
Franca was being honoured for her humanitarian work by the Dream For Future Africa Foundation at Spago in Beverly Hills, where Kim and Kanye were among the VIP guests.
Kim explained: ''We wanted to come out and support Franca, who has been a good friend of Kanye's. She's stunning. She looks like a Dolce & Gabbana ad, a classic beauty.''
The stars were out in force to support Franca, who has been a driving force for change in the fashion industry since heading up Italian Vogue 1988. Her list of accomplishments includes becoming a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations, breaking high fashion taboos by launching Vogue Curvy for plus-sized bloggers and helping found non-profit organisation CHILD PRIORITY.
Model-and-actress Amber Valetta said: ''She is so important to our industry. I don't think people realize, because she's so humble and quiet, how much she's really changes and had an impact on pop culture...She has inspired so many great artists to do great work.''

Preliminary Report: Four die in Norwegian overrun
British Aerospace 146-200A, Stord-Sorstokke, Norway, Oct. 10, 2006–Three passengers and one crewmember were killed when the BAE146 overran the 3,940-foot-long Runway 33 at Stord-Sørstokken Airport. The jet continued down a slope toward the sea and caught fire. The Atlantic Airways airplane was chartered by Norwegian firm Aker Kvaerner. It was substantially damaged in a previous accident in 1989, when it touched down fast on a wet runway following an unstabilized approach.

It's Time
Milbloggers supporting the repeal of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
How times have changed. In 1993, DADT was a halting, imperfect (and ultimately frustrating) step forward for gays. They couldn't serve openly, but at least they could serve.
We've come a long way in just 15 years. By and large the troops support repeal, and I've never met a better or smarter group of people (even if we were in Vegas at the time, and I'm even including Uncle Jimbo

You know I'm with you on this and I do think it's the right time.
But, damn, read some of those comments at BlackFive. This conversation isn't over yet–not by a long shot. When we move past DADT, there is no doubt in my mind that the first wave of openly gay soldiers are going to face some pretty harsh reactions from some of their fellow soldiers. Five, maybe ten years down the road, no one but Fred Phelps will be giving it much of a second thought, but there will be some pain to go through.May 12, 2010 - 11:35 am Link to this Comment | Reply
While there certainly will be some unfortunate events, I'm optimistic that they'll be held to a minimum. If this were a draftee army, made up of lots of people who didn't want to be there — then suddenly being free to be as flamboyant as they like would be too much of a temptation to resist. (That freedom is one of the things I miss about living in San Francisco — some of the best people-watching in the world!)
But we have a professional military of men and women who made the hard choice and serious commitment to serve their nation. I'm sure that sense of duty is much stronger than any desire to Stick It To The Man (no pun intended) once DADT is repealed.May 12, 2010 - 11:40 am Link to this Comment | Reply
There already are very harsh intraservice penalties for being gay. Many men and women are basically blackmailed with the cost being rape by their fellow soldiers not to report them. I am not exaggerating.
Go to SLDN read some or all of the daily 'Letters to the President' from those who were and still ARE in the service.
The other heart-wrenching problem is that there are many good soldiers who wanted a career in the service, serving us and our country. The MREA bill contains a re-accession clause and many, many will re up instantly.
Please help all of them and be supportive.May 12, 2010 - 2:13 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

I was also surprised at the comments section over there. I doubt there will be any increase in gay bashing in the military as it's probably common knowledge around the base who's gay. Very little will change in the day to day operations of a Unit.
Removing DADT will do little more than restore some respect to the relevant sections of the military code of honor as our soldiers, gay and straight, no longer have to live a lie (the gays that they are gay and the straights that they know of gay soldiers serving).May 12, 2010 - 12:47 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

Will also leave this. Some of you may not realize that many DADT soldiers have loved ones and families at home. This is from blog. The New Civil Rights Movement, by David Badash.
Yes it is a Civil Rights Movement!

First, quite a few of those who oppose the repeal aren't gay-bashers; they honestly think that allowing openly gay men & women to serve would degrade the services. They have something of a point; drop on by CDR Salamander's blog and follow his posts on the Diversity Bullies. He even has "Diversity Thursday" post every week on the latest fatuous antics of the DoD. Right now the leaders (the Navy especially) are obsessing about race, sex, and ethnicity to the extent that flag-level officers think it's more important to have a demographically-accurate force than a capable one. Add to this the …determination… of some of the gay rights groups, and it's easy to predict the emergence of yet another special rights group shouldering forward to suck at the teat of government sponsorship. We already have special groups in the military for African-American officers, and Hispanic officers, so why not one for gay/lesbian officers? Given the DC mentality that "everything not prohibited is compulsory," how long before activists start demanding trans-sexual operations be covered under Veterans benefits?
Note that the above is distinct to the upper levels of the Beltway, which should be no surprise. Those goobers think they can, and should, run everyone else's lives for them in the first place.
From long observation since the start of milblogging, and other historical sources, a large number of service men & women reflect the opinions of B5, Jimbo, John Donovan, and others. I'm not worried about them, but their reaction to the enforced political correctness which has become evident in the military the past 15-20 years.
Case in point: women in combat or near-combat is still a hot-button topic, considering most of them aren't expected to meet the same physical requirements as men. Do some research on concepts like "equivalent footsteps/miles." Not to mention the, ahh, convenience of an unexpected pregnancy during an overseas assignment, resulting in a ticket back to a stateside desk job. Bottom line: most servicemen don't object to women per se, but women who aren't held to the same standards. From what I've seen, they have no problem with those who can pull their own weight.
Finally -and this is the important point- read the statement those folks published. They aren't calling for the repeal of DADT; they're asking Congress to move carefully, and listen to the advice of the military in implementation. Don't rush, and (by implication) avoid all the PC crap I referred to above.
Big difference.
No doubt this will be spun by the "{something} NOW!!!" types as reactionary homophobia.May 13, 2010 - 1:00 pm Link to this Comment | Reply

WCFSO delights with performance
By Scott Cawelti
Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier
February 9, 2005
Last Saturday night's Waterloo-Cedar Falls Symphony Orchestra's Diamond Anniversary concert celebration offered not only a fitting musical tribute to the orchestra and its history, but also a triumphant evening of challenging symphonic music.
The evening began with a tribute to its many long-standing players, seven of whom have played two decades or longer, with violinist Jim Grams having performed for 44 years. That's approaching legendary.
The orchestra then played Lathan Jernigan's 'Preamble to a Concert,' a sharp, sprightly piece with discordant lines and tonal shifts that prepared a full house of listeners for Mahler's sublime orchestral surprises. It was a spotlight that reminded listeners how this orchestra can shine.
Then came the major challenge: Gustav Mahler's monumental 'Resurrection' Symphony, a five-movement behemoth of a work, which uses chorus, soprano and mezzo-soprano soloists as part of the color and texture of the orchestra. A full 85 minutes long, Mahler's work makes enormous emotional demands on both musicians and listeners ranging from the opening movement's despair and chaos to the affirmation of the fifth movement. Those emotional demands grow out of serious musical challenges to which the orchestra rose magnificently.
What's most challenging about Mahler are sudden cascades of sound, unusual dissonances, unexpected twists and turns of newly created orchestral colors. The English horn and bass clarinet duet in the first movement delighted listeners with its unique timbre.
Eileen Farrell and Karen Holvik, mezzo-soprano and soprano soloists respectively, offered perfectly nuanced and textured sounds to the stunning fifth movement, ending the symphony with a blazing finale, a wild pounding of timpani, cymbals, and full-throttle horns and strings. It brought a full-house audience to its feet in the spontaneous, extended outburst of appreciation and affection for the orchestra's newly energized musicianship under conductor and music director Jason Weinberger.
Weinberger promises to take the WCFSO creatively and musically well into its next 75 years, and he and the orchestra deserve the entire Cedar Valley's congratulations and thanks for a job extraordinarily well done.
The entire anniversary concert will be broadcast on Iowa Public Television at a later date.

In the cases of female infertility when additional help is needed for the appearance of ovulation Clomid is used. The external stimulation is required usually in the situation of insufficient hormone stimulation with the ovaries being active.
The administration rules presuppose that the medicine is taken in the cycles each lasting for 5 days, tablets washed down with water. It is important to contact your doctor should you leave out a dose. Do not take excessive amount of the drug as the effect of overdose might be harmful.
The result of the drug usage may be the possibility of you having twins or triples.
There is a list of contraindications to the usage of the medication and it should be checked with your doctor on order to avoid undesired adverse effects. The latter can be of mild and more severe character and are better to be medically examined if happened.
Should you have a necessity to take any drug while you are on therapy with Clomid discuss it with your healthcare provider.

so a phone that costs 3x the price of a average phone is slightly more reliable?? wow what a concept..
Hmmm...Is iPhone 4 been out for 12 month ???
all these phones cost multiple amounts more that an average phone
so ya thats why most of these are all reliable
man i lucked out yesterday.
i had my 4 on one of those car windshield mounts, stuck to my granite counter top....and the suction gave way. 4 feet BAM flat on the face. i think if it had hit any other way there would be issues.
pulled off the wrapsol....nothing, nada....
thats the 2nd time ive dropped it. the first time wasnt so lucky....right on the corner of the antenna....wrapsol saved its ***...there is a tiny scratch, but no dent.
the stuff works for people who arent careful.

Weight Loss & Diet Plans
Diet Myth or Truth: Fasting Is Effective for Weight Loss
Fasting is an age-old practice, often done for religious reasons, but fasting for weight loss is still capturing the public imagination. You can find dozens of do-it-yourself plans touting the unproven benefits of fasting, ranging from flushing "poisons" from the body to purging 30 pounds of fat in 30 days.
It's true that fasting -- that is, eating little to no food -- will result in weight loss, at least in the short term. But the risks far outweigh any benefits, and ultimately, fasting can cause more harm than good.
Typical Fasting Weight Loss Plans
Fasting regimens vary, but the basic premise usually starts with a strict regimen allowing only water, juice and/or some kind of laxative concoction. Some plans allow a few solid foods, but are still called fasts because they provide so few calories.
Not all fasts are created equal. Some can be perfectly safe, such as medical fasts supervised by a physician. Religious and cultural fasts are typically undertaken as an act of devotion, last from 24-48 hours, and are not intended to promote weight loss.
Fasts lasting a day or two are unlikely to be dangerous for most healthy adults. But high-risk people, the elderly, anyone with a chronic disease, pregnant women, and children are advised against any type of fasting.
The real danger lies in staying on the fast for prolonged periods, anywhere from three days to a month.
Dangers of Fasting for Weight Loss
When you dramatically reduce your calorie intake, you will lose weight. But it can also cause all kinds of health problems, including muscle loss. Further, when you start fasting, your body goes into conservation mode, burning calories more slowly.
Keep in mind that the initial weight lost on a fast is primarily fluid or "water weight," not fat. And when you go back to eating, any lost weight usually gets a return ticket back. Not only do most people regain weight lost on a fast, they tend to add a few extra pounds because a slower metabolism makes it easier to gain weight. Worse, the weight that is regained is likely to be all fat -- lost muscle has to be added back at the gym.
Side effects of fasting include dizziness, headaches, low blood sugar, muscle aches, weakness, and fatigue. Prolonged fasting can lead to anemia, a weakened immune system, liver and kidney problems, and irregular heartbeat. Fasting can also result in vitamin and mineral deficiencies, muscle breakdown, and diarrhea. When you drink laxative concoctions during a fast, there is an increased risk of fluid imbalance and dehydration.
The risks get more complicated and severe the longer you stay on a fast, or if you repeatedly go on fasts.
Why You Don't Need a Detox Diet
It sounds logical that fasting could cleanse your body of harmful substances that could cause a host of ailments like obesity, fatigue, and headaches. But there is no scientific evidence that you need to fast to "cleanse" your body or remove toxins.
Your body - specifically, the kidneys, liver, lungs, colon, and skin -- is perfectly capable of removing toxins itself.

3 Trends Shaping the Future of Product Development
Here is a guest post I wrote for sidewinder.fm about the major trends shaping the development of web products in 2013.

The New Music in My Life
I know I have been intensely delinquent in posting a new rambling to the site. My personal and work lives have been crammed full of activity in an excellent but time-consuming way, and so the blog has fallen by the wayside. However, I have been on a bit of a music-buying tear, and wanted to share. Also, I should point out I still buy CD's. Really. I like knowing I have the raw audio… So go ahead and get a glimpse of my audio leanings, and be sure to listen to the tracks below as well.
Tarkio - Omnibus: This is my favorite band to come out of Missoula, Montana. To be honest, they are the only band I know from Montana. However, if the voice sounds familiar, it is because Tarkio features Colin Meloy, of Decemberists fame. The songs have the same whimsical air, but with a decidedly more country flair, and it is fun to hear the sound that would later evolve into the Decemberists. Tarkio - "Tristen and Iseult"
Death Cab for Cutie - Forbidden Love EP: I can't even call Death Cab an indulgence, because I don't think I have any sense of shame in loving their sound, despite that when I show up to shows the crowd typically consists of me and a bunch of high schoolers who probably keep poetry journals. The song "405" acoustically performed is definitely the standout. Death Cab for Cutie - "405" (acoustic)
The Magnetic Fields - 69 Love Songs: Yes, yes, I know that it is a travesty that it took me this long to buy this box set. In all honesty, it wasn't until I moved in on my own that I found myself without these sounds, because I could always count on a roommate to provide my fix. The Magnetic Fields - "I Think I Need a New Heart"
The High Dials - A New Devotion: My brother started getting me progressively more into British psychedelic and garage rock. While the High Dials might actually be a Canadian band, their Montreal sound is certainly inspired by that power-pop flair of the 60's. The High Dials - "Diamonds in the Dark"
Matt & Kim - Grand: I always say that Matt & Kim may best acoustically represent the essence of Max. The pure joy and revelry that comes across in their songs, and it is hard not to listen to a song like "Daylight" and have a smile on your face. Their sophomore album is definitely worth picking up. Matt and Kim - "Daylight"
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion: Maybe I was attracted to this album because I saw my first concert at the venue that gave this album its name (it was the Allman Brothers), but I think it was because this album rocks. This was my first foray into the band, and I'm glad I gave it a go. Animal Collective - "Brother Sport"
Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes UK Import: I first had this band come across my radar when a friend twittered how someone described Fleet Foxes to him as "the Shins at a Renaissance Fair". Sure enough, my mother brought this album with him when the Engel family convened in Vermont, and I appreciated why my first descriptive impression was quite representative in a most excellent. I picked up the import, which includes a second disc with five extra tracks. In college I would have called this a "studying album"; now I tend to think of this as a "Mitch album". This moniker comes from Dazed and Confused, when, at the end of the movie, Mitch finally makes it home, throws on his cans, rocks out in a very personal way, and smiles. Fleet Foxes - "White Winter Hymnal"
Well, there you have it. These albums have been keeping me company while I've been off the blogging grid, and I definitely recommend you give these all a listen.

Senior Erin McIntyre (Turnersville, NJ) gave RU a quick 1-0 lead when she unleashed a shot from beyond the left side of the box into the upper-right corner just 2:10 into the match. For McIntyre, it was her first goal of the season and the second of her career.
West Virginia's Chrissie Abbott scored two first-half goals to lift the Mountaineers to the victory. The first came in the 25th minute when she redirected a loose ball to the right side of the net. The second was set up by a cross from the left side, then a header to Abbott's feet in the middle of the box in the 37th minute.
Senior Christine Caldwell (Wyckoff, NJ) made three saves in the loss (4-3-2).
"Erin's goal was a tremendous shot, and it came at a time when we were playing extremely well," third-year RU head coach Glenn Crooks said. "We made a defensive mistake and they tied it up. We didn't play as well from that point on as we had the first 20 minutes. I thought we played very well defensively, except for a few breakdowns. We still need to improve in our attacking game."
Rutgers was rated seventh by Soccerbuzz and eighth by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) in the Mid-Atlantic Region this week (Sept. 23). RU also received votes in the SoccerTimes.com national poll. West Virginia was rated 10th by the NSCAA, 11th by Soccer America, 11th by Soccerbuzz and 15th by SoccerTimes.com. The Mountaineers also are ranked first by the NSCAA and second by Soccerbuzz in the Mid-Atlantic Region.

'Drunk phones' reduce the price of a crazy night out
Jul 14 2012
Whether drowned in spilled tequila or crushed underfoot during a "Call Me Maybe" dance party, many a smartphone has fallen prey to a crazy night on the town.
But some young partygoers have learned their lesson after experiencing the tragedy of life without an awesome phone. So what's the solution? Drink less? Go out without a phone?
Obviously both are out of the question. Instead, they're arming themselves with "drunk phones": cheaper, less-cool phones that they wouldn't mind losing during a night of drunken debauchery.
Not a bad idea. Now we need to find a way to leave some spare dignity at home in case that gets lost as well.

GOP Presidential frontrunners Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich sparred with each other in the second pre-Florida primary debate Thursday night with disputes over immigration, housing and their personal finances.
Romney showed his anger openly when he chastised Gingrich for a Spanish language radio ad that called the former Massachusetts governor anti-immigrant.
"The idea that I am anti-immigrant is repulsive. You should apologize," Romney told Gingrich. The former speaker of the house, under fire from within GOP circles for the tone of the ad, pulled it.
Romney went after Gingrich for his fat-cat consulting deal with housing giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, saying he should have blown the whistle on the agencies' problems rather than taking the cash and promoting them.
Gingrich responded by criticizing Romney for owning stock in both plus Goldman Sachs.
Romney shot back: "Have you checked your own investments? You have investments in mutual funds that hold the same stocks."
The focus on Romney and Gingrich got under the skin of the two other candidates in the race: former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum and Texas Congressman Ron Paul.
"These two gentlemen are distracting from the most important issues we have," Santorum said while Paul responded to a question from moderator Wolf Blitzer about the connections that Gingrich and Romney have with the housing industry with "the subject really doesn't interest me a whole lot."
A panel of debate watchers formed by Capitol Hill Blue felt Romney scored better in the debate than Gingrich.
The panel noted that Gingrich was far from the powerful debater who dominated the South Carolina confabs. He was at time listless and let several opportunities to seize an issue pass by.
Gingrich's lackluster so confounded his surrogates that they had no explanation when questioned by reporters following the debate.
"I don't know," former Senator and presidential candidate Fred Thompson — who endorsed Gingrich earlier in the week — said when asked why Gingrich seemed to be off his game.
Romney scored another establishment Republican endorsement before the debate, getting the nod from former Senator and Presidential candidate Bob Dole, who noted that most of those who worked with Gingrich in Congress are not supporting his run for President.
Having Gingrich at the top of the Republican ballot in November would hurt other GOP candidates and would not be "in the best interests of the party or the country," Dole said.
8 Responses to "Romney, Gingrich square off in second Florida debate"
Anyone who could prompt Rachel Maddow to do an entire show in a fake NASA space suit has my vote. Think of it, the moon as the 51st state, she marveled.
Forget Neil Armstrong's "that's one small step for ( with or without the article "a") man, one giant leap for mankind." My motto has always been America first, mankind second.
Newt is my main man now. I want to go. Just think, no pesky foreigners running the 14,645,750 square miles* of the State of Moon. No Russians, no French, no Chinese or Germans and none of those stuck-up Brits. We'll have a pure American run moon. We just know how to do it better.
* (For comparison the current United States is a mere 3,794,101 sq mi.)
I had my doubts about Newt. But now I think I can put them aside because this demonstrates that he's a man of vision, a man ahead of his time.
Of course the 18,000 direct NASA employees (no doubt many living in Florida) will support him enthusiastically. The hundreds of thousand who work for space related industries will go for Newt.
Of course there will be a space race and the Chinese will no doubt be our main rival. The European Space Agency (ESA) could partner with Japan and jump into the race too.
We will win of course because we always do.
There is the nasty little possibility that China or the ESA would both set up colonies on the moon and claim they own the entire hunk of rock.
Just think, a war on the moon. Where's my phaser?
You wouldn't suppose that because Hawaii is the 50th state we could get Rachel Maddow to do an entire show in a grass skirt and a pair of coconut shells, could we?
Bravo Hal. I'll go with you.
Gingrich will put a man (or woman) back on the Moon or on Mars when he balances the budget (a second time).
I'll have what your smoking please!
Thanks Hal Brown for the humorous spin on Gingrich's case of 'moon madness'. / : |
No doubt others, as myself, are finding this same ol same ol campaign trail b.s. very trying; I.E., "a chicken in every pot, a Ford in every garage", and so too a "colony on the moon" as so much indigestible pap.
Why, oh why did we have to get stuck with this mattoid Gingrich as being a 'viable' candidate? He represents the worst in family and American values, if any are left to be detected within this once great Republic. Thanks for nothing S.C.
Are Floridians going to be sucked in by his empty, passe' rhetoric? Is this simply a process of two guys, he and Romney having degenerated to name calling, personal accusations about their business practicies etc., while the serious issues facing this nation continually discussed by Ron Paul et al. are put on ignore.
I'm providing a link to Ron Paul's "Plan to Restore America". Yes, Virginia… there is a "plan" as opposed to broad generalizations on the part of the seemingly 'annointed' one's in this race to the bottom for our once great nation.
We're flat, dead broke as a nation and are now spending in excess of one trillion more annually than we take in via tax revenues and this guy is selling constituents on the idea of a useless colony on the moon.
Gingrich has bragged that he'll tell us what to think and we'll willingly do so. Talk about a bad case of egomania mixed with hubris or what? He's a scary, troll of a man, yet people are gravitating towards his line of blarney. Yikes…!
Even if the Chinese make it to the moon and so too colonize it, they've wasted their national monetary resources on simply technological parlor tricks with little to no return on the investment other than pumping their national stature among the nation's of earth. It's too bad their leadership hasn't learned anything from our failures and simply make a committment to not emulate the U.S. or the West in any way, shape or form relative to destructive patterns of national behavior. They've got a chance to get things right the first time around while the West specifically the U.S. self destructs due to their refusal to change their ways militarily, economically and societally for the better.
There's simply too many problems to be addressed on earth in terms of post peak oil energy needs, providing adequate food for the planet's citizens, diminishing freshwater supplies, pollution, housing, worldwide employment opportunities etc. in lieu of colonizing an airless moon.
It's not going to happen at least not under the current financial and environmental conditions we now face on earth. At the rate things are devolving we'll see WWIII before a colony on the moon.
We're in the sweephand mode to the midnight of our destruction as a race of beings, but no one seems to countenance the dangers facing us. Instead we're saddled with these "I've got mine screw you types" such as Gingrich and company spewing, empty campaign trail rhetoric to a seemingly less than discerning, possibly 'braindead' electorate.
Wake up America…! : |
Carl Nemo **==
I think Ron Paul's suggestion (made during the debate about all this Moon foolishness) made a great deal of sense.
He suggested that we start sending windbag politicians there…post haste!
I don't know if Ron Paul planned that remark or it was an ad lib. If the later I was impressed since he so often comes across as humorless and that was a good retort.

KSP Helps With 2013 KY Truck Driving Championships
Date of News Release: 05/20/2013
Louisville, KY. (May 18, 2013) On Saturday the Kentucky State Police along with Louisville Metro Police and Boone County Sheriff's Office helped judge the annual Kentucky Motor Transport Association Truck Driving Championships which were hosted at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium.
Every year professional truck drivers from all over the state converge on Louisville for a two day competition to see who the best of the best is. This year over 70 drivers representing more than 10 top companies competed.
"This is bragging rights for not only the driver that wins but also for the company he represents" said David Guess KMTA State Safety Council Chairman. Mr. Guess also stated that the KMTA and the companies interest go beyond the industry and is not just about pulling freight. The drivers that are free of accidents and free of any bad write ups for one year earn the right to compete.
Mr. Guess has been in charge of coordinating the event for the past 17 years. He said it is good to see more new drivers and companies every year competing and sponsoring the event, because it goes to show everyone that safety on the road is a top priority. Mr. Guess added that Kentucky is the only state to use 100% law enforcement to judge the competition. This also goes to show the professional relationship that the industry has with law enforcement in the state of Kentucky.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- TCF Financial Corporation says it will close a downtown Minneapolis branch and 37 located in grocery stores in the Chicago area.
The closings will take place by the end of March.
The Wayzata-based bank company says the move comes after a recent review of its network of branches.
TCF will take a pretax charge of $7.6 million in its fiscal fourth quarter for costs related to closing the units and related job cuts.
The branch slated for closing in downtown Minneapolis is in a four-story building adjacent to TCF Tower, a 17-story building built in 1981. The company will continue to lease offices in both buildings for other operations.
The Star Tribune reports customers in downtown Minneapolis will still have access to another TCF branch in the IDS Center.

Dinner and Dance0 Reviews
Severus settles in. Petunia brings an unexpected dinner guest.
Petunia had brought her boyfriend Vernon Dursley. He and Snape looked at each other with instant, mutual dislike. Severus had never met anyone who reminded him so much of James Potter. It was nothing to do with appearance. In fact, it was hard to imagine how two boys could look more different. Vernon was large and beefy; Potter was small and slender. It was more an indefinable air of a privileged, self-satisfied bully.
Dinner was an ordeal. Vernon talked incessantly, mainly about himself, but he kept throwing unexpected asides at Snape.
"Of course, Smeltings is a progressive school, but we still think Latin is an important part of an English gentleman's education. Do they teach Latin at that school of yours, Snape?"
Snape had only a few seconds to consider his answer. If he said no, he would be admitting to Dursley that he was not an English gentleman. On the other hand, if he said yes he might be caught out. The Latin he studied at Hogwarts was very different from public school Latin. He decided to play it safe. "No, not really," he replied and took a large mouthful of food.
Lily gave Severus a quick smile. He thought that he might be safe, but a few minutes later Dursley was boasting, "The science labs at Smeltings are some of the finest in the country. We put the older public schools to shame. What about you Snape? Do you take science at your place?"
"Yeah, sort of," Snape mumbled.
"What are you taking? Physics? Chemistry? Biology?"
"A bit of everything, kind of."
Mr. Evans tried to steer the conversation in a safer direction but Vernon could not be deterred. "So what do you study at this school of yours?" he asked Severus, pointedly.
Severus took a large mouthful of food and chewed it slowly while he tried to think of a response. Finally, Mrs. Evans saved him.
"Severus and Lily go to a special school. They don't really take regular subjects. It's a bit hard to explain. Anyway, Lily's Head of House said she's doing very well and we're very proud of her."
At last, dinner was over. Lily excused herself and said that she would start the washing-up. Severus immediately offered to help. Mrs. Evans nodded with approval. In the kitchen, they shared a silent look of relief. Severus opened the dishwasher but Lily said no. By washing the dishes by hand, they were able to stay in the kitchen until they heard Vernon saying goodbye.
"I thought he'd never leave," Lily sighed.
"Care for a walk before bed?" Severus asked, hopefully.
"No, I'm too tired."
Severus went to his room and got out one of his books of Dark Magic. He read himself to sleep, imagining the effect of each curse on Vernon.
The next few days passed pleasantly. Petunia was seldom in the house. Severus and Lily decided it was best to get their holiday homework done right away, so they spent most of the morning working together in the kitchen. When they got tired of work, they listened to Lily's records or played Muggle board games. In the afternoons, they walked around the neighbourhood. Severus was surprised at how many magical people lived behind the plain Muggle exteriors of the town. A grocer sold potion ingredients under the counter and an elderly pigeon-fancier ran an Owl Post Office.
There was a tea shop in the high street that looked just like Madam Puddifoot's in Hogsmeade. They stopped for coffee. Severus heaved an involuntary sigh of relief when he found that he had enough Muggle money to pay the bill. All in all, he decided, the summer was getting off to a good start. When he got home, he overheard Mrs. Evans arguing with Petunia.
"Mum, I don't want to take Lily and her friend to the youth dance. He gives me the creeps. Besides, the dance is just for kids."
"Petunia, I insist. The boy is our guest, you have to do something to help entertain him."
The invitation came at dinner.
"Severus, there's a youth dance at the village hall on Saturday night. Vernon and I are going and we'd really like you and Lily to come along," Petunia said, as her mother looked on.
Severus was impressed despite himself. Had he not overheard Petunia earlier, it would have been hard to tell she was lying. If Petunia were a witch, she would definitely be a Slytherin.
"Yes, that sounds like fun,"Lily replied. Severus could see that her enthusiasm was genuine.
"Er, I'd like to but I don't know if I've got anything to wear," Severus stammered.
"Don't worry. It's very casual. You can just wear your jeans," Lily said.
"Well, that's settled," Mrs. Evans said. "I'm sure you'll all have a wonderful time."
On Saturday night, Petunia brought Severus and Lily to the parish hall. The room was dark and recorded music was playing. Petunia deposited Severus and Lily in chairs in a corner of the room and went off to find Vernon.
Severus sat watched the crowd. Muggle dancing looked simple - just stand in one place and jerk around like you had Doxies in your pants. Lily was looking at him hopefully. If only he could work up the nerve. After they had sat through several songs, a pimple-faced boy asked Lily to dance. Severus left the hall for some fresh air and wandered down to the river bank He heard voices. It was Vernon and a friend drinking from a bottle in a paper bag. They saw Severus.
"Who's the greasy looking kid, Dursley?"
"He's not from around here. He's staying at Petunia's. Goes to the same school as her sister."
"What school is that?"
"He wouldn't say. It's some sort of weird special school. They don't seem to take regular subjects."
Vernon's friend turned and looked at Vernon earnestly.
"Dursley, you and I have been mates for a long time, so don't take this the wrong way. You must know what 'special school' means? It means a school for kids who aren't right in the head. Are you really sure about Petunia? I mean, that kind of thing does run in families."
"There's nothing wrong with Petunia, and everyone else in the family is normal. Lily must have been damaged at birth or something," Vernon replied.
Severus burned with shame and anger. This fat Muggle was insulting Lily. How could he just stand here and do nothing? On the other hand, he had no wand, there were two of them and they were both bigger. He was a prudent, calculating Slytherin and not a hot-headed Gryffindor. He stood for a moment and contemplated his options. Then he was noticed.
"What's your name, kid? I forgot it," Vernon's asked.
"Severus Snape."
"Severus Snape. Snivellus. I bet that's what they call you at that freaky school of yours."
That was Potter's nickname! How could he have known? All his Slytherin self control vanished and he swung his fist wildly in Vernon's direction. Vernon side-stepped the blow, grabbed Severus by the scruff of the neck and pitched him face-first into the shallow mud at the edge of the river.
Severus crawled out and wiped the mud from his face. He was soaked and would have to go straight home. He tried to think of an excuse to give to Lily's mother. Suddenly he felt a rush of warm wind around him and he was clean and dry. Lucius Malfoy was standing there with Crabbe, Goyle and Narcissa Black. Vernon and his friend were frozen solid with looks of terror on their faces.
"The Dark Lord gave us the night off, so we thought we'd pay you a visit," Goyle said.
"Of course my parents would have invited you, but that fool Slughorn never told us," Malfoy said. "He seems to have a ridiculous idea that I would be a bad influence on you."
"Why would he think that?" Crabbe said, flashing what looked like a tattoo on his forearm.
"You look like you need a drink, Snape," Malfoy said. "In fact, we could all use a drink."
He flicked his wand and conjured a tray with five glasses. There was butterbeer for Severus, mead for Narcissa and firewhiskey for Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. Severus drank gratefully.
Malfoy pointed his wand at Vernon and his friend and said, "Now let's have some fun. Imperio!"
Snape watched in fascination and horror. He had seen Malfoy use dark magic many times, but never an unforgivable curse. Malfoy played with the two boys like puppets. He made them dance with each other, crawl and kiss his feet and, finally, wallow around in the river like hogs.
"Make them strip naked," Goyle suggested.
"Not tonight, we have a Pure Blood lady with us."
"Oh, Lucius, you're no fun," Narcissa complained.
"We'd better get going," Lucius said.
"Aren't you going to Obliviate them?" Snape asked nervously
"Don't worry. They'll just think they had too much to drink," Malfoy replied. There was a loud crack and Malfoy and his companions were gone.
Severus returned to the hall. A slow waltz was playing. Lily met him at the door. "There you are, I've been looking all over for you," she said.
As they entered the hall, the music stopped and the lights went on.

Hello, my name is Aaron. I am a dedicated bible teacher. I am currently seeking opportunities to teach the word of God, within the congregation of the Lord. It's been my passion every since I got saved to teach and preach the word of God. It has been very difficult for me due to the fact that I am virtually and unknown teacher. As a result I made multiple youtube videos highlighting some of my favorite teachings I have done. The Christian broadcasting network also made a special about my life. Please check out the links below and share them with as many people as you can. I have recently faced a lot of discouragement with my desire to teach the Word, so it would mean a lot to me if you shared my videos and left comments pertaining to them. God bless you.

Dog travels 10 miles to find his shelter sweetheart »
This is Jade and Ben. They were surviving as strays in Indiana when Jade got preggers and the Humane Society brought the pair into the shelter. Jade had her puppies and they were soon adopted. But Jade and Ben spent several months in the shelter, even sharing the same pen. Then one day, a young family came in and adopted Ben. They had a three year old child and didn't think they could handle more than one dog.
But Ben didn't forget Jade! Three weeks into his new life, he escaped and ran into the night! Ben traveled 10 miles in the freezing cold, over busy streets and train-tracks, until he got back to the shelter! "He came out of nowhere and started licking her through the fence, like they were kissing," the news was told.
Well, what was Ben's new family to do? Of course they adopted Jade and took them home together!
"They want to be together," said Debbie Floyd, president of the Humane Society board. "There hasn't been a lot of human love in their lives. They found love with each other and that what's make them happy. … Hopefully, they will live their lives happily ever after."
Don't cry. OK you can cry!

The City of Tyler approved a multi-million dollar contract Wednesday, aimed at shoring up a leak in an East Texas dam.
The $8 million construction repair contract was awarded to Gracon Construction, Inc.
Lake-goers have argued in past years that the leak at the Lake Tyler dam is a major factor in low lake levels; however, the city maintains that is not the reason for undertaking the new project.
In fact, the city says that the problem has likely existed since the dam was constructed in the1940'ss, due to older construction techniques and the lake's sandy foundation. Officials say they have also documented seepage as early as 1978.
But in 2010, the city discovered boils, which are a mixture of soil and water, leaking under the dam at a rate of about 30 gallons per minute. While officials argue that the rate is tiny in comparison to the overall lake size, the city now plans to construct a wall just downstream of the dam. The wall will extend 60 feet into the ground and prevent any further leaking.
Many residents in the area still believe the leak has some part in lake levels as low as eight feet below normal in the past years. But according to city officials, Lake Tyler has simply reacted normally to its natural conditions, including a small drainage basin and a lack of rainfall.
According to the most recent water data from the state, the lake was about two feet below normal in 2012. By 2013, it was down to about four feet below normal. But as of Wednesday morning, the lake is actually seeing a small surplus of about half a foot. The last time the lake had been at that level was back in 2010.
