What Paul Ryan's VP pick means for his House seat, and he appears on the ballot twice, once for VP and once for WI-01 - Washington Post
Mitt Romney's decision to select Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his vice presidential running mate raises the question of what happens in the Badger State's 1st District, where Ryan is favored to win reelection in the fall. According to state election law, Ryan would not have to sacrifice his spot on the congressional ballot even though he is also running for vice president. He would appear on the ballot twice.
Ryan would appear on the ballot as both a candidate for the House and for vice president. If the Romney-Ryan presidential ticket is not successful, but he wins his congressional race, Ryan can keep his seat. If the national ticket wins the White House and Ryan holds his House seat, a special election would be held to replace him in the House.
"If the candidate is elected president or vice president of the United States such election shall void the candidate's election to any other office. A special election shall be held to fill any office vacated under this subsection," reads a state statute on multiple nominations.
The Wisconsin primary election is scheduled to take place next Tuesday. Ryan's general election opponent is Rob Zerban, a Democrat who has attracted the attention of national party officials but who nonetheless remains a substantial underdog against the House Budget Committee chairman. The $5.4 million Ryan had in his campaign account in late July was about ten times what Zerban had on hand.
Ryan's popularity in his district has defied his seat's party lean. President Obama won narrowly there in 2008. However, Ryan has never faced a reelection challenge that has threatened his seat.
The broader congressional effect of Ryan's addition to the national ticket is perhaps more notable than the impact on his own race. Democrats will likely double down on the effort to tie Republican House candidates to Ryan's plan to revamp Medicare; for Republicans, the architect of the controversial blueprint will now be defending it on an even larger stage than before.
It would be hilarious and good for the Country if Paul Ryan lost BOTH his VP bid and his seat in November.
12 Things You Should Know About Vice Presidential Candidate Paul Ryan | ThinkProgress
Below are 12 things you should know about Ryan and his policies:
1. Embraces extreme individualism. Ryanheaped praise on Ayn Rand, a 20th-century libertarian novelist best known for her philosophy that centered on the idea that selfishness is "virtue." Rand described altruism as "evil," condemned Christianity for advocating compassion for the poor, viewed the feminist movement as "phony," and called Arabs "almost totally primitive savages. Though he publicly rejected "her philosophy" in 2012, Ryan had professed himself a strong devotee. "The reason I got involved in public service, by and large, if I had to credit one thinker, one person, it would be Ayn Rand," he said at a D.C. gathering honoring the author of "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Fountainhead." "I give out 'Atlas Shrugged' as Christmas presents, and I make all my interns read it. Well… I try to make my interns read it."
2. Raises taxes on the middle class, cuts them for millionaires. Paul Ryan's infamous budget — which Romney embraced — replaces "the current tax structure with two brackets — 25 percent and 10 percent — and cut the top rate from 35 percent." Federal tax collections would fall "by about $4.5 trillion over the next decade" as a result and to avoid increasing the national debt, the budget proposes massive cuts in social programs and "special-interest loopholes and tax shelters that litter the code." But 62 percent of the savings would come from programs that benefit the lower- and middle-classes, who would also experience a tax increase. That's because while Ryan "would extend the Bush tax cuts, which are due to expire at the end of this year, he would not extend President Obama's tax cuts for those with the lowest incomes, which will expire at the same time." Households "earning more than $1 million a year, meanwhile, could see a net tax cut of about $300,000 annually."
3. Dramatically increases Medicare costs for seniors, increases eligibility age. Ryan's latest budget transforms the existing version of Medicare, in which government provides seniors with a guaranteed benefit, into a "premium support" system. All future retirees would receive a government contribution to purchase insurance from an exchange of private plans or traditional fee-for-service Medicare. But since the premium support voucher does not keep up with increasing health care costs, the Congressional Budget Offices estimates that new beneficiaries could pay up to $1,200 more by 2030 and more than $5,900 more by 2050. A recent study also found that had the plan been implemented in 2009, 24 million beneficiares enrolled in the program would have paid higher premiums to maintain their choice of plan and doctors. Ryan would also raise Medicare's age of eligibility to 67.
4. Leaves Social Security to the whims of Wall Street. In September of 2011, Ryan agreed with Rick Perry's characterization of Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme" and since 2005 has advocated for privatizing the retirement benefit and investing it in stocks and bonds. Conservatives claim that this would "outperform the current formula based on wages earned and overall wage appreciation," but the economic crisis of 2008 should serve as a wake-up call for policymakers who seek to hinge Americans' retirement on the stock market. In fact, "a person with a private Social Security account similar to what President George W. Bush proposed in 2005″ would have lost much of their retirement savings.
9. Claimed Romneycare has led to "rationing and benefit cuts." "I'm not a fan of [Romney's health care reform] system," Ryan told C-SPAN in 2010. He argued that government is rationing care in the state and claimed that people are "seeing the system bursting by the seams, they're seeing premium increases, rationing and benefit cuts." He called the system "a fatal conceit" and "unsustainable."
12. Co-sponsored a personhood amendment. Ryan joined 62 other Republicans in co-sponsoring the Sanctity of Human Life Act, which declares that a fertilized egg "shall have all the legal and constitutional attributes and privileges of personhood." This would outlaw abortion, some forms of contraception and invitro fertilization.

Mitt Romney Set To Pick Paul Ryan As Running Mate
NORFOLK, Va. -– Mitt Romney will announce Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) as his running mate on Saturday, according to two sources with knowledge of the decision.
Ryan is a bold pick who will energize the Republican Party, but putting him on the ticket is fraught with risk and instantly puts Ryan's budget plan front and center in the 2012 campaign.
Romney will announce his choice in Norfolk on Saturday morning at the beginning of a four-day bus tour through key battleground states, the campaign said Friday night. The Weekly Standard reported earlier Friday that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has been asked to be ready to make the case for Ryan beginning Saturday.
Romney's alliance with the 42-year old Ryan has become the most dramatic development of the 2012 presidential campaign. Romney had been presumed for much of the last few months to be set on a safe pick, such as Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio), or former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
But now, Romney, who is 23 years older than Ryan, will signal that he is willing to roll the dice. President Barack Obama's reelection campaign and Democratic political groups have been eager for Romney to pick Ryan, the architect of plans to slash government spending and overhaul entitlement programs that Democrats believe are political losers.
Both liberals and conservatives will be thrilled with Romney's choice.
Conservatives believe Ryan is one of the brightest, best young faces and minds who can cheerfully articulate a case for limited government while simultaneously arguing that a less expansive bureaucracy and a revamped entitlement system is the best way to preserve government aid and benefits for the poor, indigent and elderly.

Veepstakes Watch: Paul Ryan? Seriously? | The Nation
Of course Paul Ryan wants to be Mitt Romney's vice presidential running mate.
The hyper-ambitious political careerist—who has spent his entire adult life as a Congressional aide, think-tank hanger-on and House member—is looking for a road up. And he is sly enough to recognize that, like Dick Cheney with George Bush, he could be more than just a vice president in the administration of so bumbling a character as Romney.
Ryan figured Romney out months ago.
The two men bonded during the Wisconsin presidential primary campaign in late March and early April. They got on so well that Ryan was playing April Fool's Day jokes on the Republican front-runner—giving Romney a rousing introduction before the candidate came from behind a curtain to find the room where he had expected to be greeted by a crowd of supporters was empty.
Romney loves the prep-school fraternity that he has with Ryan, and every indication is that the former governor would be delighted to add the House Budget Committee chairman to his ticket.
The conversations have occurred. The vetting has been completed. It could happen. And, indeed, as the time for choosing nears, the Ryan buzz has been amplified—mainly by the Wisconsin congressman's friends atThe Weekly Standard, which has editorialized enthusiastically on behalf of his selection, and other conservative media outlets. But, now, even ABC's "Veep Beat" headlines "Paul Ryan's Rising Momentum."
Romney clearly needs help. Just back from a disastrous trip to Europe and the Middle East, mired in controversies about the "vulture capitalism" he practiced at Bain Capital and his refusal to release tax returns that his dad—former Michigan governor and 1968 Republican presidential contender George Romney—said contenders for the Oval Office had a a responsibility to share with the voters, Romney could use a boost.
But Ryan would be a burden, not a booster, for a Romney-led ticket.
Like Romney, Ryan is a son of privilege who has little real-world experience or understanding. He presents well on Sunday morning talk shows and in the rarified confines of Washington think tanks and dinners with his constituents—the Masters of the Universe on Wall Street—but his record in Congress and the policies he now promotes are political albatrosses.
For the most part, he has until recently flown under the radar—dazzling fellow Republicans with fiscal fancy footwork, while dancing around weak Democratic opposition in his home district.
But no more. This year, Ryan is being called out by an able challenger with actual experience in the private sector, as well as local government. Rob Zerban, the congressman's Democratic challenger, is not fooled by Ryan's budgetary blathering.
Zerban is familiar with Ryan's record. And he has been calling the budget committee chairman out on his "faux fiscal credentials."
"Congressman Paul Ryan can grandstand about the debt all he wants, but at the end of the day, Ryan is a root cause of many of the financial issues our country faces today," says Zerban."From supporting two unfunded wars, to dumping millions of senior citizens into the Medicare Part D 'donut hole' while tying the hands of the government to negotiate prescription drug prices, and from fighting for subsidies for Big Oil that his family personally benefits from, to supporting the unfunded Bush tax cuts for his wealthiest campaign contributors, Paul Ryan's hypocrisy is astounding."
Even as national Republicans "vet" Ryan as a potential running mate for Mitt Romney, Zerban has been revealing the reality of a congressman who may talk the talk but who has never walked the walk. "Congressman Ryan fell down on the job, and is now trying to push the blame for his bad policy decisions onto President Obama," says Zerban. "Congressman Ryan had ten years in Congress—almost all with a House Republican majority—to reduce the deficit, prior to President Obama's election. He did nothing."
That's right.
If, by some chance, Paul Ryan were to become the Republican nominee for vice president, the whole country would be talking about his duplicity when it comes to the balancing of budgets.
Veep Beat: Paul Ryan's Rising Momentum - Yahoo! News
RYAN RISING: There has been a surge in mentions about Rep.Paul Ryan as Mitt Romney's potential running mate in recent days, and, as National Review Online's Robert Costa writes, the chatter about a Romney-Ryan ticket could just be true. "These days, you hear it everywhere - from Republican donors and veteran operatives, and at Capitol Hill watering holes. A few weeks ago, it was a wishful rumor floating in the Beltway ether. Now, sources close to the Romney campaign say it's for real, that the taciturn former Massachusetts governor is quietly warming to the idea.Representative Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, the budget king of the GOP, may be Mitt Romney's veep. 'Ryan is very highly respected not only by the candidate, but by Romney's policy shop,' says Tom Rath, a Romney adviser. 'Beyond the political relationship, he has a good personal relationship with Romney, and he has been a strong and reliable surrogate since the primary,'" Costa wrote. " For months, Ryan has been considered a dark horse for the number-two spot. At age 42, he has accomplished much, such as winning seven straight congressional races and authoring his party's blueprint for entitlement reform. But his lack of executive experience, and his criticism of the Bay State's health-care program, made his chances look relatively remote. Yet behind the scenes, Ryan's stock has been steadily rising. Romney, a former Bain Capital consultant who relishes data and metrics, has clicked with the youthful Badger State wonk. They have campaigned together and speak frequently on the phone, comparing notes on policy and strategy. And earlier this year, with Ryan's blessing, Romney hired three of Ryan's Budget Committee advisers to help him in Boston."
PARTY INSIDERS SPLIT ON RYAN: The prospect of Rep. Paul Ryan joining the GOP ticketexcites one side of the Republican Party wishing Romney would be more forthcoming with the policy change he'd bring to Washington while at the same time, spurs hesitancy among others who are concerned Democrats would slash away at a Romney-Ryan ticket based on the Wisconsin representative's budget plan, Politico's Jonathan Martin, Jake Sherman and Maggie Haberman reprort. "As Mitt Romney's vice presidential selection nears and buzz about Rep. Paul Ryan'sprospects builds, a split is emerging among Republicans about whether the choice of the House Budget chairman and architect of the party's controversial tax and spending plan would be a daring plus for the ticket or a miscalculation that would turn a close election into a referendum on Medicare," Martin, Sherman and Haberman wrote. "Ryan advocates, including some of his colleagues and high-profile conservative elites, believe Romney will lose if he doesn't make a more assertive case for his candidacy and that selecting the 42-year-old wonky golden boy would sound a clarion call to the electorate about the sort of reforms the presumptive GOP nominee wants to bring to Washington.

Republican Convention 2012 Speakers: John McCain, Condoleezza Rice Among Headliners
WASHINGTON — A trio of female firsts and three former GOP presidential contenders are among the first speakers disclosed for August's Republican National Convention.
The GOP convention schedule is packed with high-profile names to fire up divergent wings of the Republican Party, from social conservatives to fiscal hawks. They will speak ahead of Mitt Romney's formal acceptance of his party's presidential nomination.
Convention leaders were not ready to announce the keynote speaker, a prime speaking slot that has the potential to catapult a rising member of the party to national prominence.
The schedule's outlines were first reported by The Tampa Bay Times late Sunday and were confirmed to The Associated Press by Republican officials with direct knowledge of the plan. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because convention officials had not yet announced the schedule.
South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, the first female governors of their states, are among party leaders slated to address the gathering that begins Aug. 27. Martinez has the additional distinction of being the first female Hispanic governor in the country.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the first black female to hold that job, is also scheduled to speak.
Sen. John McCain of Arizona was set to speak, as well as a one-time rival, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. The two, along with Romney, vied for the 2008 presidential nomination, with McCain outlasting both Romney and the former Baptist pastor in the primary campaign.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin are both big names in the party believed to be among those Romney is weighing for the vice presidential slot or for the keynote address. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, Sen. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio also were noticeably absent from the slate of announced speakers and may be contenders for running mate.
If passed over for the vice presidential pick, there is a very good chance they would earn speaking slots – if not the keynote.
The speakers already announced suggest where Romney is looking to make progress as voters start to pay attention to the fall campaign.
Martinez, who made history in her state and nationally when she was elected, could appeal to Hispanic women, a sizable demographic that broke for Obama four years ago. She can also address voters who feel securing the nation's Southern border is a top concern.
Among tea party supporters, Romney will get a boost from Kasich. His home state of Ohio is a linchpin of Romney's strategy and no Republican has won the White House without carrying the perennial Midwestern battleground. No Democrat has won without winning Ohio since John F. Kennedy won the presidency in 1960.
Florida is another key state for both campaigns' path to the White House. Florida's Gov. Scott will address the convention, customary when the incumbent governor's party hosts the convention.
Democrats have rolled out their own convention schedule in recent weeks. Marking a first for Hispanics, the Democrats chose the mayor of San Antonio to deliver the keynote address in Charlotte, N.C.

Vice President Pawlenty? Three attacks Democrats may use against him | The Ticket - Yahoo! News
Perhaps the second time's the charm. Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty is once again rumored to be on the vice presidential shortlist of a Republican presidential candidate, with Mitt Romney doing the honors this time around. After serving in the Minnesota House of Representatives, two terms as governor and making a brief run for president in 2011, Pawlenty is now working as a tireless advocate to help his potential boss get elected. His first brush with VP fame occurred when Republican presidential nominee John McCain started looking into Pawlenty's record as a potential running mate in 2008.
1. While in the Minnesota House, Pawlenty served on the board of a corporation whose subsidiary was charged with scamming customers
While Pawlenty was majority leader of the Minnesota House of Representatives, he sat on the Board of Directors of a phone company, NewTel, for two years. During his tenure, Pawlenty approved NewTel's purchase of a subsidiary called New Access Communications, which regulators in ten states accused of cheating its customers by deceptively signing them up for its services.
Regulators charged that New Access was engaging in "slamming," an industry term that describes an illegal practice in which companies switch a customer's phone service without permission. New Access reached a settlement and agreed to pay about $2 million in fines—$1.2 to the allegedly fleeced customers and $750,000 to regulators in the ten states where they were charged at the time. The company claimed innocence, but paid the money to avoid a legal battle.
2. Pawlenty's first gubernatorial campaign had to pay $600,000 in fines for improper coordination with the state party
When Pawlenty ran for governor in 2002, the State Campaign Finance and Public Disclosure Board charged his campaign with "illegal collusion" with the state Republican Party after Pawlenty's campaign provided them with footage for ads. The board fined the campaign $100,000 and forced it to pay $500,000 in ad spending originally picked up by the state Republican Party. The Minnesota GOP "purchased raw footage from the campaign media consultant and produced a series of supposedly independent ads," the Star Tribune reported in November 2002.
The board ruled "that the interactions between the party and the campaign were too cozy and amounted to illegally acting in 'cooperation and concert.' …The law prohibits any coordination on spending or advertising with candidates who take state money and agree to the limits," the Tribune reported.
3. Pawlenty's campaign treasurer was charged with deceiving homeowners facing foreclosure
While Pawlenty was governor in 2004, his re-election campaign treasurer Ron Esau resigned after being charged with running a scheme that allegedly took advantage of families undergoing foreclosure on their homes. The "equity-stripping scheme…targeted families facing foreclosure by offering to buy their houses and sell them back for what they owed plus interest," the Associated Press reported at the time. Instead of selling the homes to the families facing foreclosure with just interest included, the company involved with Esau sold it back to them at full market value plus equity instead. Esau ultimately settled and paid restitution over the charges.

Latest Romney VP Speculation: No Pick Until After the Olympics - Politics - The Atlantic Wire
The next act in the political kabuki of Mitt Romney choosing a running mate will be the timing of the candidate's announcement, and while his aides have said he could announce this week, the latest speculation is that he'll wait until after the Olympics. The New York Daily News' Thomas DeFrank reported Tuesday night, "Sources close to the Romney campaign told the Daily News the working plan has been to announce the pick after the Olympic Games, which begin next week and conclude Aug. 12 — two weeks before the Republican convention in Tampa."
The New York Times' Michael Barbaro noted on Tuesday that this week is basically Romney's last chance to have the spotlight to himself before "the political equivalent of a traffic jam" makes it hard for him to dominate the news cycle. By the time he returns from an overseas campaign trip next week, the Olympics will be well underway, and while one aide told Barbaro that Romney's VP pick could briefly edge out Olympic coverage, "But Mr. Romney, who ran the Salt Lake City Olympics in 2002, may be especially wary of trying to compete with the Games for media attention."
Romney appears in final stages of running-mate decision | Reuters
(Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney appears to be in the final stages of deciding who to pick as his vice presidential running mate, with speculation growing that he has narrowed his choice down to a short-list of three.
Ohio Senator Rob Portman, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal all offer various strengths to Romney should he decide to pick one of them to join his battle to unseat President Barack Obama and his vice president, Joe Biden, in the November 6 election.
Many Republicans believe Romney will break from tradition and announce his choice well before the party's convention in Tampa in late August that will formally nominate Romney as the Republican candidate.
Campaign officials were loathe to discuss the selection process or the short list but made clear that Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, had yet to make up his mind.
Naming his vice presidential running mate in coming days could help Romney remove a withering spotlight instigated by the Obama campaign over his personal financial information and tenure at the private equity firm Bain Capital.
The Democrats accuse Romney of leading Bain at a time when it invested in companies that outsourced U.S. jobs overseas. Romney says he was running the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City at the time and had given up all management of the company.
The controversy is proving to be a distraction for the Romney campaign and overshadowing his attempt to make the election campaign about Obama's handling of the U.S. economy amid 8.2 percent unemployment and record budget deficits.
Others who are believed to be under consideration for the No. 2 position include New Hampshire Senator Kelly Ayotte, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, South Dakota Senator John Thune and Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan.

VP Condi? Is Condoleezza Rice really on Romney's shortlist? | The Ticket - Yahoo! News
The Drudge Report ran a blaring headline late Thursday night reporting that sources within Mitt Romney's presidential campaign say Condoleezza Rice, who served as secretary of state and national security adviser under President George W. Bush, is a "front-runner" for the running mate slot.
Matt Drudge, the founder of the site, has close ties to members of Romney's inner circle and runs one of the most popular news aggregation sites on the Web. For the past few days, President Barack Obama's campaign has hammered Romney by questioning his business record at Bain Capital—one top Obama aide even went as far as suggesting Romney could be a felon—so it's not surprising that Romney would want to change the conversation to speculation about his vice presidential choice. The question remains, however: Is Romney actually considering Rice, or is the "leak" just a distraction?
First, as many on the right point out, Rice supports keeping abortion legal, making her a tough sell with social conservatives.
Also, adding Rice to the ticket would make her an easy target for Democrats by pointing out her ties to the Bush administration, where she served for both terms.
On the other hand, Rice is known for her ability to excite Republican crowds and as an African-American woman, she would offer a level of diversity to Romney's team.
Sorry, Drudge, but Rice (or any other pro-choice/pro-SSM GOPer) will NEVER be a VP or the President for the foreseeable future. Also, she has ties to the Godawful Dumbya/Cheney Administration.

The Auditioning
Last night I auditioned for the upcoming Christmas Pantomime, this years play is Jack & The Beanstalk. The director this time around is looking for a smaller cast since the play only has 10 speaking parks and she is looking for an even dozen for the chorus.
Considering that there's over 30+ auditioning there is going to be some serious disappointment in two weeks time when she announces whose got what parts and whose going to be left out in the dirt.
Here's hoping that I get some good news. *fingers crossed*
— Christopher Walken (actor)
Theatrical Bug
Isn't it sort of ironic that I couldn't watch the Oscars simply due to the fact I was at the theatre for The Three Musketeers rehearsal…
I think more like unfortunate since I guess it would of been ironic if it were the Tonys, ya think?
No More Funny Money
Yesterdays matinee show wrapped up the final performance of Funny Money at the local community theatre. Seven shows, five evening and two matinee performances, and that ends a successful run.
I had a blast working up in the tech booth, my partner in the booth was a young high school lad, Aldous, who did the sound. He's a pretty smart kid with a good head on his shoulders. Very, very articulate as well.
Well, now that show is over and done with it's time for me to focus on my lines for the upcoming "The Three Musketeers" show is underway. Rehearsals have been going on for two weeks now and it promises to be a fun family filled performance.
The Theatre Calls My Name…
"Funny Money" has it's opening performance this evening. The first of seven performances spread out over the next two weeks. I'll be busy in the tech booth, doing the lighting tonight, tomorrow night, and as well as the Sunday matinee show.
I told them I wouldn't be able to do Saturday evenings since I'm otherwise engage in another social activity. :)
Adventures Of Lighting Tech Guy
Last night's dress rehearsal went off pretty smoothly, with a couple of glitches here and there. But, it is all ended up well. The actors are right in the zone and the timing is the thing in the farce.
Lighting and Sound FX have to be precise in order for things to cue the actors. Last night's was a complete run with lighting, fx and actors dressed in costume as their characters. There are two acts in the play and each runs about an hour, there is an intermission in between for those to stretch their legs, go for a smoke or whatever they want to do in the 10 minutes time in between.
Tonight is another rehearsal and then tomorrow the theatre goes dark prior to the first performance on Thursday.
Hi Fiddle Dee Fee An Actor's Life For Me… Maybe.
Auditioned last night for a role in the upcoming Smiths Falls Community Theatre production of "The Three Musketeers". I hope had to up my game and went into it with robust, hopefully it is good enough that the director will cast me in a bigger part this time around.
For the past few weeks prepping for this audition I was walking about the house, reciting lines from plays, movies and tv shows and listening to how I say it. Hopefully, I've improved a bit to show that I've got what it takes to play a larger role in a production.
In the last production I was on stage for a mere 30 seconds. Playing a guard who rushes onto the stage and drag one of the main actors off.
Prior to that I had auditioned for "Funny Money" but didn't get a role because the director didn't see me in a part, it's understandable since there where no secondary roles and they got to go with the talent is.I feel confident that my acting chops are getting better and better as the years go on.
Though, you know you got no talent when a director doesn't even cast you as an understudy for a role for fear of the main actor getting ill or having a night off and you just might take their place. I've asked a friend of mine whose been on the stage and asked her to give me the straight honest truth and she did and I'm thankful for that. It made me see what I've been missing over the past auditions. I lacked the confidence, the presence on the stage and I got to stop saying "Ummmmm" a lot of the times.
So, this time around I've got broad shoulders, I've been watching actor workshops on Youtube. Basically, self teaching myself how to talk on the stage. Hopefully this time around the director sees me in a part… if not then there's always the next production down the pipe.
The show goes on with or without you.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
I'm reading this play once again since I picked up a copy at a used book store. Figured I'd give it a go since it's been decades that I have read it. Also, figured it would be nice to hone my acting skills some by memorizing a scene or two to recite.
I think it's time to amp up my acting skills some and be the kind of actor that a director will see me in the part or even get a chance to turn down. I have known a couple of actors that where offered parts but turned down the roles due to other commitments.
That's my goal. A new and improved and pompous me! Muahhahahaha.

Haynes said, "According to the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the situation, the meeting was described as being productive with both sides focused on doing what's best for both parties….Prospective teams holding the rights to Noah, Love, Griffin, Horford, and Davis, as of now, have declined to involve their franchise players in any potential deals for Aldridge, a league source told CSNNW.com."
In all likelihood, Aldridge will command another max contract after his current contract is up, since he is still only twenty-seven years old. However, Aldridge realizes that his current team is still in building mode. They have a nice nucleus with Damian Lillard and Nicolas Batum, but they are still far from being a championship caliber team. Portland did have a nice off-season by signing Thomas Robinson, Robin Lopez, Dorell Wright, and drafting CJ McCollum, however, they are still a team that is young and clearly building. Ask LaMarcus Aldridge.

Halloween Costumes Are Cruel to Babies
Is dressing tiny, defenseless babies in costumes cruel and unusual punishment? Andrea of "Bedtimes Are for Suckers" thinks so.
Andrea of "Bedtimes Are for Suckers": The thought of cruelty towards an innocent child is something mothers can't even get their heads around. Babies are helpless, defenseless, adorable creatures. Yet every Halloween, hapless parents force infants to wear ridiculous costumes for their own amusement.
Several years ago, Martha Stewart featured a segment showcasing multiple babies dressed as a Thanksgiving dinner -- including a turkey and various pies. Each entree looked barely 4 or 5 months old. One little baby was fast asleep in her "apple pie" getup when Martha, unfazed, exclaimed, "She just loves her costume!!" Actually, I believe that kid was exercising her first defense mechanism: "Maybe this is all a terrible dream, and if I go to sleep, it will all just go away -- and this woman's voice is grating on my last nerve."
Most of my friends did and do dress up their infants in Halloween costumes, and were appalled that I didn't -- as if I'm some sort of holiday killjoy because I didn't bend my baby into a formfitting pea-pod number just for my own selfish photo op. When the photos inevitably show up in my e-mail, I always feel sorry for the babies. They usually look so beaten down or pissed off or both.
But hey, if a baby ASKS to be in a costume, it's totally different. If your 2-month-old says, "Please, Mom, I'd like to be shoved into a felt taco shell for Halloween!" then by all means go for it. (BTW, if your newborn is talking to you, your kid's a raving genius and you can ditch Halloween altogether -- and immediately get on the talk-show circuit.)
I made a deal with my baby: Until she understood exactly what a costume was and requested to be in one, I would never force her into playing dress-up. My daughter is now almost 4 and she WANTS to be a princess for Halloween -- and by gum, that's what she's going to be. It's her choice, and I honor it.
Whose idea was this Halloween trend of dressing up kids fresh from the womb? The blame, I surmise, falls upon Anne Geddes, the Queen of Cruelty to Babies. For years, Ms. Geddes has been using babies for fun and tons of profit. Geddes' website has the curious tagline "Protect, Nurture and Love." Really? How is it nurturing to shove a newborn into a fake flowerpot and stick a cloth flower on her head? How is it any different from dressing up a senile grandparent as a clown without their consent? Babies can't answer for themselves, and we didn't bring them into the world as dress-up dolls. At least I didn't.
Want a truly adorable costume for a baby? Dress them up as ... a baby. It's easy and soooooo cheap. Plus, there's nothing cuter.

Premier Post - FS: Climbing wall / training wall for sale.
007 - on 17 Jan 2014
Price: Ł700
Climbing wall for sale.
We built a training wall in our loft and due to moving onto a boat, now need to sell it. It's all dismantled and ready to go.
All pictures are here:
It's tricky to price: The matts new cost Ł900. The holds Ł500. We think we spent around Ł2500 on the whole thing, and it took us forever to drill and tee nut the boards. But we need to sell now.
In terms of delivery, we're based in Loughborough. It's basically a van load of stuff and heavy with it. The biggest boards are 6 x 8 and the matts are thick and there's 5 of them. We have a van and could potentially negotiate delivery somehow so don't rule it out if you live miles away.
Wall consists of the following:
• Approx 160 bolt ons. Various, some new, some older. See pics (there are 2 sets pictures).
• Approx 40 screw ons.
• 01 box of tee nuts. M10 x 13.0 mm. Pronged tee nuts. 4 prongs. V approx. 150.
• 2 boxes of M10 – 1.5 x 50 socket cap screw grade 12.9. V approx..150.
• 1 box M10 x 40 screw. Approx 50.
• See pics of labels & contents & screws & nuts.
• 2 x (183 x 122 x 14 cm)
• 3 x (24 x 122 x 14 cm)
• All in good nick, made by reputable manufacturer. Slightly chalky. They zip apart (see pics) so they are easy to move around and up into a standard loft hatch.
• Approximately 30 square meter of 18 mm ply all drilled and fixed with t-nuts – each secured with 2 screws. T-nuts are at approx. 180 mm from each other. Unpainted.
• T-nuts are fixed as per pic.
• The wall was in our loft so is loft shaped. There are approx. 3 large 6 x 4 boards then various other sizes and shapes.
Versa climber not included!

In reply to 007:
Please email firstname.lastname@example.com if interested. (Not the email linked to this account).
Also, the boards are 6x4 not 6x8. My mistake.

Sidewall, "Listen and Record", 2009
Screen-printed and flocked on paper. Gift of Ilias Fotopoulos. 2010-27-1.
- Designed by Ilias Fotopoulos
What is this?
Seemingly irregularly placed red flocked dots which form letters of the Braille alphabet, spelling out the "listen and record" process used in creating this design.
Why is this in our collection?
This paper is from the designer's second collection, introduced in Tokyo in 2007. "Listen and Record", which appears to be a nice textural composition, is actually telling the story in Braille about how this design was created. The designer recorded his voice every day over the course of a year. At the beginning of the second year, he listened to the tape from one year before, took a ten minute break, and then recorded his current thoughts over the original. The tape for February 29 will only get listened to every four years. The contents of the recordings vary as would the entries in a daily journal. Typography was used on children's papers going back to the 1870s, but served an instructional rather than... more

Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD Box set UK
Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD Box set UK is different: Like the particular whimsical McBeal, the right way to over-the-top from the start — but it has any harder, ruder border, as embodied with the smarmily sarcastic Alan Shore (James Spader) as well as the blustery, short-term-memory-challenged Denny Crane (William Shatner), two alpha-male legal professionals who usually are not above inexpensive courtroom theatrics in addition to dubious backroom bargains, if this means a great verdict. Nevertheless there's depth here, far too: They and also their colleagues handle cases regarding Sudanese genocide, crazy cow condition, intelligent style, cryogenic availability, and a new divorced couple's custody fight over his or her son's umbilical wire.
Sure, many are the same types of issues which Kelley in Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD Box set tackled to the Practice (the series from which Legal content spinner off), and most of the scenarios get that acquainted tinge associated with Kelleyesque absurdism. But this occassion he makes no pretense associated with gritty Practice-like realism. He or she lets the lawyers possibly be larger-than-life, as gamed by a couple actors which give career-best performances — "a basic comedy team" equal to Laurel as well as Hardy, pronounces exec designer Bill D'Elia throughout "An Not likely Pair, " the best in any paltry trio associated with extras. Do not know about which, but they're just a very dynamic duo currently available for prime-time usage. And figuring out how they started out.
From abundant television delivering and creating icon Mark E. Kelley of Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD ("Ally McBeal, " "The Practice")
"Boston Legal" tells the skilled and private stories of the group regarding brilliant, nevertheless often psychologically challenged law firms. Sometimes irreverent as well as funny, from time to time intense and also moving, "Boston Legal" prides once more on being at the forefront regarding issue-oriented tv set, often dealing with issues which can be underreported from the media. Wild and darkly comedic, the actual series confronts public and meaning issues, while the characters constantly stretch that boundaries with the law. Nominated regarding an Emmy? Give for Unsettled Drama Line in 2007, The Academy regarding Television Disciplines & Sciences not too long ago honored this show utilizing Television Academy Elevates for Boston Legal Seasons 1-5 DVD region 2 , recognizing television using a conscience and also achievements within programming which present troubles of worry to society in a compelling, mental and unusual way.

It's been almost a month since heavy rains caused devastating damage in the city of Duluth. Since then, many visitors planning a trip to Duluth have canceled -- causing businesses to lose money.
But city leaders want everyone to know that it's open for business, especially Duluth Mayor Don Ness, who visited the FOX 9 Morning News on Tuesday.
Friday marks one month since some infrastructure of the city was buckled, submerged and damaged.
"They were spectacular images," said Ness in recalling the damage -- though it was just small portions of the city. He urges vacationers to continue with summer travel plans to the north shore. "When you're living on the hill...you don't think you need flood insurance," he added.
He offers travelers his personal assurance, Duluth is "open for business"
Duluth and NE Minn. flood gallery
A month beyond the flood, June 20
Duluth, Minnesota had its wettest two-day period ever when flood-producing storms washed over northeastern Minnesota June 19-20.
4.1 inches fell on Tuesday – the second-wettest calendar day in Duluth history (5.2 inches on July 21, 1909). On Wednesday, 3.1 inches fell. Combined, that breaks the previous two-day record of nearly 6.7 inches that fell on July 20-21, 1909.
The rushing water from flash floods in Duluth ripped up streets in and closed countless miles of roads. The damage is extensive, but, miraculously, no one was seriously hurt.
It's the worst flooding to hit Duluth in decades, drawing comparisons to the floods of 1972. 40 years ago, three major storms sent millions of gallons of water pouring down Duluth's hillsides. The damage was so bad, then-President Nixon declared the city a federal disaster area.

|Poinsettia 'Winter Rose'
|Written by University of Illinois Extension Office
Photo By Fernando Cuenca Romero
If I asked you to name a flower associated with Christmas, most of you would instantly reply "the poinsettia". The picture in our heads is most likely the typical red, white or pink bracts surrounding the tiny yellow flowers in the center. Despite the color differences, most would agree that poinsettias generally have a similar appearance. I thought so too until I saw the 'Winter Rose' poinsettia.
This is a truly new form for the poinsettia. The colored bracts curl under, much like a gathered seam. It resembles a large rose-like bloom. The bracts persist after other poinsettias have perished–it is very likely that you will still be enjoying the plant in February and even longer.
As different as 'Winter Rose' looks, its care is much like that of other poinsettias. When purchasing, look for plants with flowers just starting to open. Many people mistake the colorful bracts for the flowers. The flowers are actually very small and yellow, nestled in the center of the colorful bracts, which are modified leaves.
When you take your new poinsettia home, make sure it is wrapped to protect from the cold winter winds. Even brief exposure to freezing temperatures can prompt the poinsettia to drop its leaves. Care should be taken to place your new poinsettia in a warm bright location in your home. Remember that poinsettias are a tropical plant, used to being in a 60 to 70ºF greenhouse. Temperatures that fall much below this range will damage the plant and cause leaf drop, and temperatures much higher will shorten the bloom time.
Poinsettias only need water when the soil feels dry. Again, there is a happy medium when it comes to watering. Too little will cause the plant to wilt and the lower leaves to drop. Too much will cause the lower leaves to yellow then drop.

TEAMS: Nashville Predators, Florida Panthers, St. Louis Blues
NEW YORK (April 24, 2012) — Doug Armstrong of the St. Louis Blues, David Poile of the Nashville Predators and Dale Tallon of the Florida Panthers are the three finalists for the 2011-12 NHL General Manager of the Year Award, the National Hockey League announced today.
Voting for this award was conducted among the 30 Club General Managers and a panel of NHL executives, print and broadcast media. The winner will be announced Wednesday, June 20, during the 2012 NHL Awards from Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas. The 2012 NHL Awards will be broadcast by NBC Sports Network in the United States and CBC in Canada.
Following are the finalists, in alphabetical order, for NHL General Manager of the Year:
Doug Armstrong, St. Louis Blues
Armstrong oversaw a Blues renaissance reflected by their 49-22-11 record and first Central Division title since 1999-2000. Adding to a talented nucleus of Blues draft picks that includes David Backes, T.J.
Oshie, David Perron and Alex Pietrangelo, Armstrong made the signing of the summer in unheralded free agent goaltender Brian Elliott, who led the NHL with a 1.56 goals-against average and .940 save percentage. He also acquired veteran forwards Jason Arnott and Jamie Langenbrunner. After the Blues started the season 6-7-0, Armstrong made a change behind the bench by bringing in 500-game winner and Stanley Cup champion head coach Ken Hitchcock, who led St. Louis to a 43-15-11 record.
David Poile, Nashville Predators
A season after Nashville won its first-ever Stanley Cup Playoff series, Poile's work helped the Predators (48-26-8) earn a postseason berth for the seventh time in eight seasons and an opportunity for more milestones. As in past years, the Predators' underlying strength was its deep roster of players drafted and developed by the organization, including star goaltender Pekka Rinne, leading scorers Martin Erat and David Legwand, and defensemen Shea Weber, Ryan Suter and Kevin Klein. Poile negotiated the late-season return of star forward Alex Radulov and also acquired top-six forward Andrei Kostitsyn, shutdown center Paul Gaustad and veteran defenseman Hal Gill prior to the trade deadline.
Dale Tallon, Florida Panthers
Tallon's comprehensive off-season overhaul was a runaway success as the Panthers (38-26-18) captured the first division title in franchise history and earned a berth in the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the first time in 12 years. He named Kevin Dineen to his first NHL head coaching assignment last June and followed with a flurry of acquisitions that included forwards Kris Versteeg, Tomas Fleischmann, Sean Bergenheim and Tomas Kopecky, defensemen Brian Campbell and Ed Jovanovski and goaltender Jose Theodore. In-season acquisitions of veteran forwards Mikael Samuelsson , John Madden, Marco Sturm, Wojtek Wolski and Jerred Smithson bolstered Florida's playoff drive.

Q. I've heard people talking about rear wheel steering when they're coming out of corners. What is this and is it practical to use on a day-to-day basis? A. Unless your friends are all speedway riders, then they're probably talking rubbish. Rear wheel steering is when the rear wheel starts spinning as you go round a corner, and cornering forces ...

Buell has revealed the cosmetically updated XB9SX Black in a world exclusive MCN London Motorcycle Show. Announced earlier this week, the XB9SX is the smallest bike in the Buell range, and to give the streetfighter machine some extra attitude the Black edition is (predictably) finished almost entirely in black.

Fresno Food System Alliance
FFSA), launched in December, 2010, is leading the way in creating new relationships in the community and new thinking about food and farming in America's most important agricultural county. Convened by the Fresno County Farm Bureau, the Fresno County Health Department and the Fresno Agricultural Commissioner's Office with assistance from Ag Innovations Network, the Alliance has already mapped an ambitious agenda for taking farm-to-school programs to scale in the county and region, tackling tough local food policy development and implementation issues, and is engaged in improving market access for producers through the development of food hubs in the Fresno area.The Fresno Food System Alliance (
Fresno County is located near the center of California's San Joaquin Valley which, together with the Sacramento Valley to the north, form the Great Central Valley, one of the distinct physical regions of the state. The Coast Range foothills, which form the county's western boundary, reach a height of over 4,000 feet near Coalinga while some peaks along the crest of the Sierra Nevada, the county's eastern boundary, exceed 14,000 feet. The Valley floor in between is fifty to sixty miles wide and has an elevation near the city of Fresno of about 325 feet. (Environment of Fresno County, Fresno County Planning Dept., 1975).
Fresno County is the largest food producing county in the United States. Its fields are rich, diverse, and like so many of California's agricultural regions, rife with challenges. From water availability to invasive pests, from food safety to worker safety, producers find themselves faced with choices that often lead to the closing of farms and the loss of rural heritage. Similarly, Fresno County's cities are home to some of California's most diverse populations and some of our most intractable urban problems ranging from hunger to childhood obesity, from lack of good food in many neighborhoods to a growing disconnect between urban and rural communities. The common thread in all these issues is food and the system that gets food from farms to forks.
The central idea underlying the FFSA concept is that the long-term viability of agriculture is central to the region's quality of life, and that advocates for agriculture, farm labor, health, and the environment have much more in common than they often see or act upon. The FFSA will expand on this idea by exploring these issues from the perspective of the broader food economy and work to build a county food and farming system that works for a diverse alliance of interest groups in the county. By finding the places where the interests of producers, laborers, restaurateurs, consumers, health advocates, environmentalists and others intersect, there is great hope for proactively building a successful food economy in Fresno County.
The Fresno County Food System Alliance is currently working on local food system economic development activities such as farm to school and local food hubs

Medallions had a pleasant taste but was expecting a little more picante! Just wasn't there. Not worth all of the new spices and the jelly I had to buy. Will fix again but will double up on the chili powder.

The Star Wars trilogy quiz
Next week, the complete Star Wars saga, highs and lows, is finally making its way to Blu-ray. We've already booked…More
When the third instalment of Toy Story was released in 2010, the sound of tears hitting the floor could be heard across the world, as this brilliant trilogy went beyond its original inception as a 'kid's film' and became a full-on philosophical musing on life, growing up and friendship.
Every film in the trilogy is a classic in its own right and, being a Pixar film, in-jokes and sly references abound. How well do you know Woody and the gang?
Take our fiendishly tricky quiz and find out.

Ordering this grouping was a mistake. Very cheap machine copies that are stapled on, and crooked mind you! The edges are supposed to be black. However the corners are worn off and are white. I will not purchase from this vendor again...for sure.
Looks great. Framing behind canvas is sturdy so they hang very nicely.
fits good in my living room, I have a dark tan colored wall and its fits just fine in there
