No doubt you remember the young woman from Barney Frank's town hall meeting — the one who tied Democratic plans for health care reform to Nazism.
The NYT political blog, the Lede, notes that Frank's interrogator turns out to be a follower of famed wingnut Lyndon LaRouche.
Writes the Lede:
For those unfamiliar with the range of his thinking, Mr. LaRouche also claims that the Queen of England is a drug smuggler, and recently suggested that "top circles in London, who are furious at President Barack Obama for flubbing the British demands to impose fascism on the United States," may soon "attempt to assassinate the President."
No one is more put out by the fact that Mr. LaRouche has received no credit for introducing Nazis into the health care debate than Mr. LaRouche himself. In a news release this month, his political action committee wrote, "Lyndon LaRouche and the LaRouchePAC are the source of the campaign to expose the Obama 'health care' policy as modeled on that of Hitler in 1939."
The Anti-Defamation League helpfully published a new report on LaRouche and his followers late last week. As you can imagine, the ADL was more concerned with the use Hitler imagery than health care arguments:
Since May 2009, LaRouche and his network of supporters, many of which are part of the LaRouche Political Action Committee (LPAC), have focused on health care reform, producing signs, banners, pamphlets and other items that employ Nazi imagery, including the Hitler comparisons.
In a May 4, 2009, LPAC statement, LaRouche described the Obama administration's health care proposals as "Nazi stuff…We're looking for what is the difference between President Obama and Hitler on health policy. We've done a lot of research, and we've not yet been able to discover the difference."

I've known LaRouche supporters, and have gotten emails/phone calls from them. When I saw that video I knew she was a LaRouche supporter being cast as a rightwing looney. These people are mad.. they pander to the young politically naive kids.

Raised and schooled by Jesuits and intimately connected to the Knight of Malta-led Roman Catholic CIA – which assassinated John Kennedy six weeks after NSAM263 ordered us out of the papal fiefdom of Vietnam, and to restore the Vatican's bankers of the Fed to unconstitutional control of our money supply, ended by JFK's EO11,110 – LaRouche drags "red herrings" toward every conceivable "conspiracy" to distract and mislead as a "vaccine" for those Americans who simple follow Our Founder and recognize the historical truth that "the real Anti-Christ" has been accurately identified: the sectarian faction, "Fifth Column" of the Roman Anti-Christ which has assassinated our leaders, taken us to false war to "divide and conquer," promoted illegal immigration, and committed 9/11 after only the Roman Catholics on the SCOTUS illegally appointed a draft-dodging closet-queen to the presidency, whose father was a principal, with Richard Nixon, in President Kennedy's assassination, and whose grandfather was Hitler's banker.

So Jim, what is the difference between the health care takeover plans of the Obama administration and the health care takeover in Germany by the National Socialist (i.e. Nazi) party? Or would you prefer to divert attention from a legitimate question by focusing on the questioner…

What an unholy alliance, Republicans clutching their Dick Army produced brochure on how to disrupt a Town Hall Meeting and the Lyndon LaRouche space cadets, working together to prevent a civil discussion of an issue of vital importance to the American people.
Anarchy makes for strange bedfellows!

For the first time in my 65 years I can understand how the anti-Semitism hysteria took over in 1930's Germany. I watch the health care debacle with horror. The most outrageous lies, told over and over and ever more loudly by cynical people with a pulpit and a political agenda, are actually believed by the sheep. Obama death squads roaming about murdering grandmas and handicapped kids (thanks, Sarah!)Government takeover of all business and industry! And somehow the idea that Social Security and Medicare are not government social programs (are they then found in the 10 Commandments?.The 2000 election shook my faith, but now I've about lost faith in democracy.

Hey Y'all:
I told you the Republican Party has been infiltrated and taken over by the Ku KLux Klan and Nazi Party. Do not sleep on this and recognize. It appears they are playing a "bait and switch game" where they say the other party is them (Ku klux Klan/Nazi's) while they try to assume the liberator role. When the hell did health care for the people become a Hitler program. Idf it s , then we got it going on all over the wprld. The placing fear inn the general public by associating Nazism to health care is an insult on the Ammerican publics intellegence. And those Americans who believe just wanted a reason to be against the Obama program regardless. I never knew American politics can get so low, and the people advocating that too. I, therfore, believe, "CHANGE" has come to America, to its detriment, especially when we, as the people, allow Ku Klux Klan and the Nazi Party to espouse their rhetoric by hijacking a respected political party (The Republican Party) and using this party's base as its platform. I know it is difficult for those who are righteous in the party to identify these individuals, but all they have to do is look at their deeds and what they say. Then you will know. they may talk USA but they are far from it. As Jesus said about they Pharisees "Do as they say, but do not do as they do". They are hypocrites to what this country is about. TRUE AMERICAN REPUBLICAN, STAND UP AGAINST THESE DEVILS IN YOUR PARTY. THEIR INTENT HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO DESTROY THE AMERICA THAT WE LOVE THAT IS "FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE." AND HEALTH CARE IS "FOR THE PEOPLE." AS KING SOLOMON INTENT WAS FOR THE PEOPLE. WHO WILL BE BLESSED BY OUR GOD JEHOVAH?

Interesting analysis on Blake DeWitt
On a less positive note, it's time to seriously consider ending the Blake DeWitt experiment. Look at his numbers at different points in the season.
March 31st - April 26th 64 PA .255/.359/.327
April 27th - May 17th 56 PA .404/.446/.750
May 18th - June 22nd 112 PA .212/.270/.257
The idea that Blake DeWitt is a productive major leaguer comes entirely from that 56 plate appearance stretch and his first three games where he was hitting .556. Outside of those 56 plate appearances DeWitt has been a sub replacement level player on a team that desperately needs offense. You can argue that DeWitt has earned the right to have a slump but at this point in his career, he's had over three times as many bad plate appearances as good ones, and the good ones have come in a sample size so small they can be easily written off as a fluke. Anyone can go out of their mind over the span of 56 plate appearances. Jose Castillo once had a 1.276 OPS in 83 PA. Chris Shelton put a 1.716 OPS in 54 PA, and neither of those guys has done anything productive since then.
The solution isn't to put DeWitt into a platoon with Andy LaRoche, or to move him to second to replace Jeff Kent, it's to get him off the active roster. DeWitt needs to go down to Vegas, continue the development that we rapidly accelerated, and start putting in serious time at second so he can be an option for next year. If DeWitt makes some improvements, he can be an option there instead of praying Furcal's back heals or throwing a massive wad of money at Orlando Hudson. Also remember Joe Torre is completely infatuated with DeWitt, and the only way to keep him from playing is to take him away.
Blake DeWitt's stock has risen in my eyes during his time in the bigs. The big knock against him coming into this year was a total lack of plate discipline and he's greatly improved that this year. DeWitt can still be a productive big leaguer in the future, it's just that no one thought that he would be in 2008, and those predictions were entirely right.
Pierre really sucks. On base twice and nobody brings him home. He is a curse to the team !

Hey all -- Not sure what this blog will be ultimately, but I envision it as a step up from the web page and message board, as well as my newsletters. Maybe it will replace the board and newsletter, or maybe I will just send out a new link to the newsletter when I make a new post. I think you can subscribe via RSS feeds.
As for content, I think of this as a place to share some tunes I am listening to, some images on my mind, perhaps some of my daly outrage. maybe even some works in progress. To that end, my next post includes some words, music, and Blackberry snapshots from my Labor day weekend. I will also share some tour images and thoughts.
At the risk of this becoming an adolescent-level journal, I would still rather err towards sharing some of my raw inspiration. But please don't take it as any more than that, even though some of this might end up in finished songs someday, most of it will be "of the moment," and hoping to achieve some web-based Zen. Most of the time, though, I know I will swing and miss. Just like most of life. If we bat .300, we are doing great.
Speaking of which, just back from a great Sox v. Jays game pitched by Beckett. A win.

It's the Bachelor's Fault You're Not in Love
Let's say you meet a great guy. He's handsome and charming, dresses well, has an interesting job. And he really wants to "get to know you."
Let's say said guy is very upfront about the fact that he's "playing the field" – with, say, about two dozen other special ladies. And being the secure, modern gal you are, you agree to the rules of the game.
Now, let's say, over the course of five weeks, you get to spend approximately fifteen minutes, two times per week, sitting on a sofa in a secluded corner with the object of your affections while a few dozen pairs of eyes strain to watch you, and attempt to inject enough witty banter, heartfelt emotion, and tongue-wrestling into the interlude to convince the fella that you're worth keeping around. And then, let's say, on one occasion over the course of these five weeks, you get to spend an entire day with your man, just the two of you. Alone, together. Well, with cameras. But also maybe in a helicopter on the way to the most gorgeous deserted island mountain cave river you've ever seen.
That's it. Six 15-minute chats, one epic helicopter date. Are you in love yet?
If you're a contestant on the Bachelor, you damn well better be, because next week you'll be headed back to your hometown for an epically awkward dinner with your mom and second-cousins, trying to explain to your father for the umpteenth time why you're looking for love on national TV. At this point, if you're not in love…or close…you're toast.
Of course, the Bachelor is a deliciously terrible TV show, and it has an approximately 3% success rate for the relationships it spawns, every reasonable person in the country knows helicopter rides do not equal love.
Except. Except twice a year ABC manages to fill its mansions with dozens of starry-eyed suitors who, if "there for the right reasons," are ready to hop on the fast track to wedded bliss.
And except…don't tell me you've never done the date five gut check…are we falling in love yet? Because if the Bachelor is to be believed…hell, if any rom com or chick lit novel is to be believed…it just takes a couple of dates, or chance meetings, or conversations on the secluded couch to go from strangers to soulmates and if you don't get there in that time well…it must not be love.
And in your date five "oh my god do I love you" moment, you may be thinking, as surely the Bachelorettes are thinking, that this rush of goofy giggly newness combined with some actual chemistry sure feels and looks a lot like the love you see in the movies, and that must be it, right?
It can be hard to remember that per The Bachelor, relationships with a helicopter-date foundation and a zero to love in two hours trajectory have an abysmal long-term track record. You're probably not remembering each brutally awkward tearful reveal when a Bachelorette gets cornered into sharing something intensely personal on what is, for all intents and purposes, a second date. You probably don't have to get the key to the fantasy suite if you want a little alone time with your dude. And you may not be thinking "wow…if it's this good now, imagine how awesome it'll be five or six weeks or three months from now if I let it develop naturally and don't try to rush this kind of intimacy!"
Seeing how many Bachelors and Bachelorettes have actually turned into husbands and wives…maybe slow deserves a shot.

By Ann Wyatt Little - bio | email
LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - AAA reports prices at the pump have jumped 51 days in a row, but did you know that an increase could actually put money back in your pocket. NewsChannel 11's Ann Wyatt Little explains. There are some programs that promise to lock in today's gas prices, but just like the stock market gasoline hedging is all about the risk than the reward. It's not a guarantee.
It's like playing the stock market, but with gas prices and companies like Petrofix, My Gallons and More Gallons promise to lock that three digit number down all in hopes of helping your budget. Here's how they work, you pay for gas at today's price completely up front. Club programs keep track of how much gas you have in your account. When prices are up, the idea is to go to the gas station and redeem what you purchased through the program when prices were lower.
But Hub City drivers have mixed reviews about the idea. "I guess I'd have to weigh the pros and cons. If it'd save me some money if prices go up then I guess I'd consider it," says driver Rachel Jones. "As far as it being risky, life is a risk so why not take it? Rather than have set price than it be $2.30 one day and jump to $2.60 the next," says Trey Hutchison.
"You're taking a chance that it's going to keep continuing to raise and being not a chance taker I'm going to stay the way I am," says Gary Thorton.
With Petrofix you pay about $ .30 per gallon to the company to lock your price in. For example if you pre-purchase 100 gallons of gas at $2.30 a gallon and the price goes up $.50 to $2.80 and stays that way for the duration of your purchase agreement then the company will pay you $150. You must subtract $90 for company fees and overall you save $60.
If prices drop at the pump, you aren't locked in under this company's terms, but you are still out 90 dollars you paid the company to be able to purchase the gas at a fixed price.
Like the stock market it is risky. Do your homework, each company has different strings attached to their respective agreements.
AAA spokesman Dan Rohnan says motorists are paying more because the price of crude oil has doubled in value since March.

Price: $17.00 - Free Shipping!!
Item #: EH1079
0 in Stock
These little double hooks were original manufactured for use in armoires before closets were a mainstay of home architecture. They are equally at home mounted under an open shelf where they can be seen. The patent date on the front of each hook is either 1809 or 1909. Ive taken a photo of all before they were brushed and oiled so you can see my dilemma. The patent (whenever issued) would have been for the method of mounting the hook. The recess in the back of the hook accommodates a small square nut (its held in place by the recess area) so a bolt can be run down through the mounting board to give superior strength for heavy objects. Of course you can still run a screw directly up into the board if you wish.
They are in great condition with an iron patina some darker than others. These hooks are sold individually. The above price is for one hook.

WHITEFISH - Whitefish Mountain Resort is adding more awesomeness to its terrain, according to staffers.
This summer, the resort is adding five miles of trail for mountain bikers. That more than doubles the downhill experience.
Since 1947, Whitefish Mountain Resort has welcomed skiers and snowboarders seeking a mountain that is uncrowded, beautiful and affordable. When the snow melts, the resort becomes home to zip line tours, Montana's only alpine slide, an aerial adventure park and the unique Walk in the Treetops.
Work on the resort's five new trails began last October and resumed May 8. Officials said they are optimistic the mountain bike trails will be ready to ride by mid-summer.

Extreme Mom Brain
Is it just me, or did all that wit fly out the window when my kids came into the picture?
Marilyn Kentz: I believe women are the smarter of the sexes. No man has a chance in an argument when we rattle off dates, facts, and details about particular infractions of the past. Our men just stammer and get madder because they don't hold a candle to us. However, for whatever reason, once we have children, we seem to lose a few brain cells, and they keep going down the drain the older we get.
Case in point: I once found my cell phone in the freezer. But the one that really drives me crazy is mom-aphasia (an acquired disorder in which there is an impairment of any language modality. This may include difficulty in producing or comprehending spoken language). Here is how it manifests ...
I'm having lunch with a couple of good friends. We're laughing and telling each other stories of our past week's experiences. I begin a very entertaining sentence -- one with a lot of promise, one with enthusiasm. I'm titillated at the potential of my entertaining story. It's really beginning to flow. Then -- pop! -- that great, impressive, perfect word I was fully intending to use suddenly disappears. Gone. While my listeners are observing the look of terror on my face, I hastily begin my private "word hunt."
I don't want to use the easy, banal word. I want the impressive one. It's key to the amusement value. This used to be easy. Close-sounding words with very different meanings try to persuade me to accept them. Obviously struggling, my caring friends notice and start rooting for me. They begin to throw out other useful, colorful, but incorrect words -- which only throws me more off course. At that point, I just abandon the whole thing and hang my head in shame. I've lost my audience. Years of being proud of my intelligence and the building of a tender self-esteem have now all disappeared. I move on, trying to keep up with the flow of conversation, all the while continuing my search ... because now it's bugging me. The word has gotten under my skin. I'm fixated on it. Then, much later -- hours, sometimes days, later -- that little teaser pokes its slippery head out. But my audience is long gone. No one cares anymore. Still, once my impressive word has come back home, I let out a sigh of relief. Ahhhhhh, there you are! That's it! That's the word. I can finally sleep now.
Thanks a lot, kids. Don't forget all that Mommy has sacrificed for you. I want to see it reflected in my next Mother's Day gift.
|Marilyn Kentz is the brunette half of the '90s comedy duo "The Mommies" and author of "A Ten-Step Guide to Fearless Aging."
Funny story, and you're spot on about remembering "dates, facts, and details about particular infractions of the past". It is what moms do best. I guess if you spent less brain cells on those efforts and let go of them, like dads do you, really could be the super mom
er parent.
This is probably the most narcissistic post I've ever read on momlogic.
I've noticed that women (I'm generalizing here) seem to remember what they want to remember, regardless if it is fact or not.
Maybe this is related to your "problem:"
I find myself unable to fully concentrate to adult conversation when my child is playing with other kids or adults. I find the socialization of these kids so interesting that everything else just seems boring.
I can't stand these stories. Just because you let yourself go to seed mentally doesn't mean this is what all moms do. Maybe you should go read a book instead of spouting sexist generalizations.
u kno this happens 2 me ive put the milk in the food cabinet once and then it was warm wen i found it…what a waste! and lighten up people geesh she tryin 2 hav u laugh it off not everything is sooo serious!
I'm rather blown away by some of the comments here. I completely relate to her post, regardless of the odd 'sexist' intro (which I agree, wasn't necessary).
My inability to recall words, and feel I've lost part of my brain has nothing to do with men or my ability to chastise them, nor does it have anything to do with Narcissism.
"Momaphasia" is real and it sucks. Period. Lighten up.
Thanks alot - your awnser solved all my problems after several days struggling
That's a mold-breaker. Great thnkiing!

The Top 11 Reasons to Invest in Belize
Stability. Belize has a stable, democratic government, the economy in Belize is stable and balanced, the currency is pegged to the US dollar, the legal system is based on the British legal framework, and Belize is still an independent member of the British Commonwealth. Along with Costa Rica, Belize has the most stable political system in the region. Belize has always been a very peaceful nation.
Property Rights. As a Commonwealth country, property rights are protected in Belize through the traditions of English Common Law. In Belize, private property is respected and protected. Foreigners can own property in Belize, with exactly the same rights and protections as exist for Belizeans, with 100% fee simple title. There are absolutely no restrictions on foreign land ownership. Along with the USA, Canada and the United Kingdom, Belize shares a legal system based on English Common Law – a familiar system for most investors.
Currency. The Belize dollar is fixed 2 to 1 with the US dollar making it a very stable currency. The U.S. dollar is accepted anywhere and everywhere in Belize, and the Belize dollar has been pegged for decades at the current exchange rate of 2 Belize dollars to 1 U.S. dollar. Anything of substantial value, such as real estate, is priced in U.S. dollars. This means that prices in Belize are more stable for American dollar holders than they would be if the Belizean currency floated against the dollar.
Tax Friendly. Belize is a tax haven. The offshore financial services industry in Belize is highly regarded and well regulated; it is also quite advanced and well supported by the government. In addition, those who own real estate in Belize pay no capital gains or estate (inheritance) taxes. Property taxes are very low – just a fraction of what they are in Canada or the USA. Rental income is taxed at only 1.75% of gross receipts. Just for emphasis…no capital gains tax, and no inheritance tax!
Location. Belize is highly accessible from the US and Canada, and now from western Europe as well. Its proximity to Canada and the US creates short travel time and there is no jet lag due to time differences. (Belize is on Central Time.) Direct flights to Belize depart from Miami, Atlanta, Charlotte, Newark, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, and Toronto (seasonal). With the expansion of the runway completed at Belize International Airport, long-haul direct flights from Canada and Europe are expected to begin service in the very near future. International arrivals to Belize have been increasing drastically in the last 6 years – at an annualized growth rate of 11.1% (which is the highest in Central America).
Natural Beauty & Eco-Tourism. Belize has the 2nd largest and most fascinating and beautiful barrier reef in the world. The diving and snorkeling are consistently rated among the very best in the world. Over 46% of Belize is dedicated to National Parks and Marine Reserve, including United Nations World Heritage sites such as the 27,000 acre Balcalar Chico National Park and Marine Reserve on Ambergris Caye. Belize is home to thousands of species of trees and flowers, hundreds of kinds of birds and butterflies. It has reefs and tropical rainforests, beaches and mountains, over 600 sites of Mayan ruins, and many rivers teeming with wild and rare flora and fauna. From diving to fishing, cave tubing to zip-lining, snorkeling to sailing, and exploring Mayan ruins, Belize is an ecologically diverse, unspoiled paradise. Also, Belize is one of the least densely populated countries in the western hemisphere.
Excellent Retiree Program. The Belize Residency Program enables foreigners to retire to Belize under a very favorable set of guidelines, with status as a Qualified Retired Person. This simple process exempts people from the payment of all taxes and levies on all income or receipts which accrue from a source outside of Belize (whether income is from work performed or an investment). This program also provides a duty & tax exemption on new and used personal and household effects (inc. motor vehicles, boats and aircraft). You must be over 45 to qualify, and be able to substantiate monthly income of at least $2,000 (USD).
Friendly People. Belize is home to the most genuinely and sincerely friendly people to be found anywhere in the world. You will hear this time and again from everyone who visits to Belize, and for good reason. While Belize is often referred to as "Mother Nature's Secret", and most people think that Belize's natural resources are its greatest asset, the Belizean people are in truth the greatest asset Belize has to offer.

From BC to BZ
"Our dream, had always been to retire somewhere exotic, warm and friendly. We had never heard of Belize until we saw a "House Hunters International" program on TV.
Researching on the internet, lead us to the International Living magazine which rated Belize as one of the best places to retire. They listed the following pluses: climate, housing costs, English speaking, stable government and how friendly the Belizean people are.
Two days after arriving in San Pedro we were hooked. The Island was beautiful and so were the people. We didn't feel alone, or isolated and felt very safe. RE/MAX Island Real Estate happened to be next door to our hotel and we just decided to drop in for some information. Not only did we find out that we could purchase property at a reasonable price but that we had clear title on our property.
We were living an episode of House Hunters international, where you chose from three properties with Dennis who actually aired an episode on San Pedro. He was able to help us understand how the purchase process worked in Belize, what we needed to do and how we could do it. He was able to answer all our questions and concerns about owning property in a foreign country and even guided us through each step.
We purchased our piece of paradise and made our dream come true.
We would like to thank our realtor, Dennis Kay II and his co-worker Jeff Bella for not only going beyond the call of duty but giving us the courage and support to help our dreams come true!!"
--Corina and Trevor Breese,Vancouver Island, Canada
A "crystal clear" decision
We chose Belize because its an English speaking country, tropical climate, close to the U.S. and the people on the island are all friendly. I asked everyone while I was there on my first visit if they would move back home everyone said "no they love it there!"
We purchased 2 beachfront lots on the west side of the island to build a future retirement home. The waters on that part of the island are crystal clear and the sunsets amazing."
--Ed and Dawn - West Branch, Michigan, USA
A place in the sun
"We choose Belize as it was a stable, Commonwealth Country that is based on British Law. You receive clear title on property there and it is less crowded than in Mexico,and way less risk of getting shot in drug wars. We purchased a fourth floor penthouse at Hol Chan Reef Resort. We bought this one because of the size [3 bedrooms] and because it was built to a very high standard. We intend to use it ourselves for about 4 weeks a year and we thought it was a very good investment. We can rent it out when we are not there and we are sure it will appreciate quickly, especially once direct flights start from UK and Canada.
We found our experience dealing with John and Dennis to be very good. They were both very helpfull before and after the sale. They were always there to deal with any issues regardless of how small. Also, the RE/MAX banner gave us a degree of comfort due to their world wide name. I introduced our family and friends to John and Dennis, and in fact my sister in law who I sent to them is considering buying a condo in the same building as us.
I think there are many opportunities on Ambergris Caye as its not over commercialized. From my observation it's just a question of what to get involved in. My wife and I and my business partner will be pursuing opportunities to open different business's on the island and maybe move down in the next couple of years. Thanks again guys for all your past and ongoing help."
--Michael and Jodi - Edmonton, Canada
They found Paradise in Grand Belizean Estates
1. Why did you choose Belize?
"Like most North Americans I have always dreamed of owning a piece of property in the Caribbean. With the endless amount of Islands the choices can become overwhelming & expensive! After vigorous research Belize was the obvious choice, The pros are unquestionable with English being the official language, Exclusive property rights for foreigners, low taxes, favorable retiree & resident programs and the fact it is truly a slice of paradise yet to be monopolized by corporate franchises with a large amount of room for growth it was no question that this was the place."
2. What property did you purchase and why?
"I chose to purchase 2 lots in Grand Belizean estates for many reasons, First off the prices are phenomenal for what they are offering, they is no other way for the value to go but up! The parcels that I purchased would cost 10times what I paid for the same size of land in Canada. The location on the West side of Ambergris Caye is calm, peaceful and serene still untouched by the commercial hand. There are minimal building restrictions and the property tax is the lowest I have ever seen! The titles are free and clear and I can choose to do what I want with the property, build, sell or sit on it for as long as I like. The options are truly unbeatable!"
3. How do you plan to use your property?
"I will be building a family home on one lot in which I will live full time with my wife and future family and the other I have plans for a business. There is a lot of potential with the amount of properties being sold within the sub-division and essential services will be needed."
4. How was your buying experience through Dennis?
"To be completely honest I purchased my first lot entirely through the internet without ever stepping foot in Belize. From the first moment I came in contact with Dennis his genuine concern for finding me the ideal lot for what I needed was exceptional. As you can imagine a purchase from aboard can be quite a daunting experience as you never know what to expect and the final choice can be difficult. He quickly put me at ease and exceeded my expectations with his thorough, honest and personal opinions of all lots I was interested in. At no point did I ever feel pressed into the sale and I felt truly confident in my final purchase given the level of professionalism Dennis displayed at all points throughout the process. A genuine & honest person. It was a positive experience from start to finish."
5. Would you recommend RE/MAX Island Real Estate and Dennis Kay II to your family and friends?
"I have! Shortly after I started to investigate Grand Belizean estates I knew it was a winner, I recommended it a dear friend and I am proud to say he is now my neighbor. I travelled to Belize this summer to finally view my purchase with my fiancée. Not only did we step foot on our property I proposed to my fiancée upon the Grand Belizean tower before viewing our property for the first time. I am now happily married and we are looking towards our bright future in Belize thanks to Dennis and the Grand Belizean team…..In fact my Wife and I just bought one more!"
--Graeme Jenkins - Winnipeg, Canada
Another satisfied customer at Grand Belizean Estates
"We chose Belize for the complete paradise it is. From the palm trees to the beautiful waters and the friendly people its a place you can truly get away from it all. Belize is a country we knew we would want to visit time and time again.
Owning in Belize and having property rights similar to the US was important to us as well. We are not the type of people to gamble with our money but when we saw Grand Belizean Estates online we decided we should look into it further. We contacted Dennis and he answered every question we could think of through many emails. Dennis made the process very smooth and we actually bougth site unseen even though we were planning a trip there.
We planned our trip to visit the island and Dennis arranged for a boat to take us to the property as the road was not in place yet. Dennis escorted us to the property and showed us our lot and where the roads were to be placed. He was very accomodating and answered our numerous questions about island living.
Although we are still years away from retirement we plan to travel there as much as possible until we retire there. Once you visit the island you won't want to leave!"
--Sarah and Carrie-Arizona, USA

It always fascinates me how you hear of indie games can built by a single person with skills in coding because they could do it, or because they they wanted to learn how to code. I believe the creator of Terraria built it purely to learn how to code in C#?
I've never done anything like it but I'd really like to give it a go learning C# and maybe try my hand at developing something. Whatever it is, it would be ground breaking or awesome, but if I learn from it, that's a plus in its own. If anyone has any suggestions on where to start, useful resources, books, tutorials etc, please feel free to share then.

Many of us have come to associate October with Breast Cancer Awareness, but did you know it's also Dwarfism Awareness month? You may also be surprised to learn that a child with dwarfism is born one out of every ten thousand births, and 80 percent of people with dwarfism have average-height parents and siblings.
Such is the case for Ocean Springs kindergartner, Levi Krystosek, a six-year-old kindergarten student at Magnolia Park Elementary School.
Levi may be small in stature, but he's big in personality and heart. Levi doesn't let his size get in the way of doing everything his taller classmates do even on the playground. He runs, jumps, and climbs like everyone else, and says the height of the stairs and ladders, don't bother him.
He said with a big smile, "If they're big it's okay, if they're small that's okay I can do it."
His mom, Dona Krystosek said she thought it was important to share Levi's story with South Mississippi, especially during Dwarfism Awareness month.
"With awareness is acceptance and people need to know that little people like Levi are just like everyone else. He's a little spitfire like any six-year-old," she said.
There are 200 types of Dwarfism and Levi is one of only 20 cases in the world with his rare type. His Mom said he was diagnosed near the time of his first birthday.
"He has Jansen's Metaphyseal Chondrodysplasia. At the time he was diagnosed there were 17 cases in the world, now there are 20 reported cases that we know of."
It is rare to have any mental cognition issues in conjunction with dwarfism and Dona said little people like Levi simply want to be treated like everyone else; and most of all to be accepted.
"You know when you meet people that are different and start talking to them you find out a lot of good, and you may have a lot in common, so I would want them to be accepting to little people with difference," Dona said.
She said it was a whole new world for her too when Levi was born, along with her older daughters and husband.
"I had seen little people, but had never met one my entire life. This was a spontaneous genetic mutation."
Today, she said, she wouldn't change a thing.
"Levi is Levi and he's my heart," she added.

Gas leak causes temporary lane closures
Date: January 21, 2010
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
Traffic is flowing again after Southwest Florida Water Management District workers hit a 4-inch natural-gas line on Gulf of Mexico Drive just south of Longboat Key Publix, causing a gas leak. Longboat Key police, Longboat Key Fire-Rescue and Teco Peoples Gas officials responded to the scene just before 11 a.m. and blocked off traffic in both lanes of the road for a stretch of approximately 500 yards, which caused traffic to back up in both directions of Longboat Key and on Bay Isles Parkway.
Both lanes of Gulf of Mexico Drive re-opened around noon.

Texas GIII crew had VOR, not ILS, tuned
Cockpit voice recorder (CVR) transcripts indicate that the pilots of the Gulfstream III that crashed in IMC November 22 after being cleared for the Runway 4 ILS approach at Houston Hobby Airport had the VOR frequency tuned instead of the ILS. The Part 135 flight was on its way to pick up former President George H.W. Bush. According to the CVR, about 45 seconds before the crash, the pilot said, "Oh my, what'd you do to me? Whoa (expletive), what happened: Did you change my frequency?" The copilot replied, "We had the, the VOR freq, the VOR frequency was on." The crew did not break off the approach but continued descending after resetting the frequencies. "We're all squared away now," said the copilot. "Yeah but I, I don't know if I can get back on it, in time," said the pilot. "Yeah you will," the copilot said. "You're squared away now." A moment later, the tower called the aircraft at the same time the copilot said, "Up, up, up, up, up, up, up." The last words on the CVR are those of the tower completing its call: "Check your altitude. Altitude indicates 400 feet." Less than a second later and still more than three miles from the runway, the aircraft clipped a 125-foot-tall tower, crashed and burned, killing the two pilots and flight attendant.

Girl/guy angst here guys. Lets all reach for the tissues....
The rest of the team swarmed round them the next morning, asking question after question. It was Eric who shut them up.
"Everybody QUIET!"
The hubbub died down, and they all looked at him.
"Thank you. Now I just want to say, what's been going on, is nothing but bad luck. True, they attacked our house, but maybe it was just random. In any case, we're going to get to the bottom of it."
Becki waved her hand in the air. Eric rolled his eyes.
"You know we don't do that."
Becki smiled innocently.
"Sorry. But you were acting like a teacher."
This raised a few titters from the others, silence with a swift look by Eric, who raised his voice.
"Alright then. Everyone, just get on with your jobs."
As the group dispersed, Becki went to follow her sister. Eric shook her head.
"You stay here."
Her eyes flashed, her voice cold.
"It was a joke Eric. You're not my keeper, you're not my-"
"I'm your boss while we're here. You're undermining my authority, making people think this is a huge joke."
Becki threw him a disgusted look.
"Really? And you don't think that's what we need? I'm not going to stand by and watch you convince them they're about to be shot at any second! They're not! These guys aren't after the crime lab! They're not even after the CSI's! They're after-"
She stopped mid-sentence, clamping a hand over her mouth.
Eric crossed to her in two strides, pulling her hand away.
"They're after what? You know who they are, what they're up to? You have to tell me, tell me what you know!"
By now he had hold of both her wrists, holding her there. Becki looked up at him.
"I can't tell you. I said to much-"
She tried to pull away, but his grip was to strong.
"Eric! Let go of me!"
He ignored her, pulling her out of the way of the main thoroughfare.
"Becki! You have to tell me! What if next time they don't go for us? What if they hit someone else, anyone? You can't say you don't care!"
Becki stared at him coldly, finally managing to prise her hands from his grip.
"They won't Eric. I know what's coming. And I can handle it."
She walked off, not looking back at him. It suddenly dawned on him, and he shouted after her.
"Becki! I'm sorry, I never meant..."
He trailed off as she ignored him, disappearing into the Ballistics lab.
He leant against the wall, head in his hands. Why had he handled it like that? Why on earth hadn't he let her handle this? He trusted her, she knew what she was doing. And he had messed it up. Their first fallout. He hoped it would be the last.
Authors Notes: Ouch. When I wrote this, I think I forgot how hot he was... LOL. I have had arguments like this, and boy it ain't pretty. I kinda wish I didn't yell so much

Ogling Oddities at a Scrap Metal Art Yard in Houston, Texas
Former car parts and spoons take the shapes of mysterious creatures including prehistoric reptiles, bugs, and even aliens at Scrap Daddy's Art Yard. Art forms are scattered throughout this museum of sorts, among overgrown grass and metal scraps. Welder and gallery owner, Mark Bradford has an eclectic eye for art that has moved him to put his own distinctive mark on the many metal sculptures displayed in the outdoor gallery. Sights for innovative eyes include the 20-foot praying mantis (that I can't get out of my mind), a flying saucer, and an automobile-sized scorpion. Bradford welcomes free visits to his yard daily.

Up and coming hip hop artist Iggy Azalea has released an out of this world video for her DJ Green Lantern's remix of her latest single, "Bounce."
Most remixes come and go without doing much to the original song other than adding and/or subtracting verses. The DJ Green Lantern reinterpretation of "Bounce" is much different, offering people a completely intoxicating new sonic vision of an already powerful track. The video is equally alluring, with Azalea performing and exploring the streets of Indie, which seems to have at least somewhat influenced the instrumentation of the track. You can view the video below. Continue reading 'Iggy Azalea Releases Video For "Bounce" (DJ Green Lantern Remix)'

Who The Hell Is Ralph? The Saga Of David Del Toro Continues
For those who need a refresher, Del Toro is accused of strangling his girlfriend Jennifer Flores in 2006 and dragging her body a quarter mile behind his truck, leaving behind what the police have euphemistically called a "DNA trail". From what I understand you can still see it.
Police followed the trail to Del Toro's house where they found him drunk, confused and amidst signs of a struggle.
Last Friday, Monica Gibo, a former girlfriend who filed an assault charge against him in 2002, testified about his violent, drunken behavior. The charge led to court mandated counseling.
On Tuesday the coroner will testify. I hope they don't go with the phrase "DNA trail". That doesn't really get across the idea of what happens to a body when it's dragged down the street.
According to The Contra-Costa Times the defense is expecting to go with the idea that Flores left the house with someone else and Del Toro passed out on the bed, waking up to a mess and trying to clean it up.
Which leads us to the headline above.
A little while ago I got a couple anonymous comments HERE (scroll to the bottom - the comments go back to 2007) suggesting someone named Ralph might have been the responsible party.
Who's Ralph? I have no fucking idea. One commenter suggests he's an ex of Flores.
It seems odd that after 5 years of discovery the prosecution would not have figured this out and have something in place to counter that move. I mean, yes, sometimes cops screw up, but that would be kind of a big oversight.
Real life courtrooms aren't like TV courtrooms. Dramatic unveilings of The Real Killer(tm) don't happen very often and pretty much anything one side knows the other does too.
But then the defense doesn't have to prove he's innocent do they? They just have to toss the question into the jury's minds. And juries tend to be stupid.
Seriously, have you been in a juror waiting room Downtown? Yep, LA's best and brightest. No wonder this city's fucked up.

"The charge led to court mandated counseling."
Obviously it didn't take.
- RAS said...
The last article I can find regarding the trial is dated March 1, and states that the case went to the jury that day, now a week ago. I assume that means they are still deliberating. That doesn't seem like a good sign to me.
- Stephen Blackmoore said...
I don't think it's necessarily a bad sign. We're talking about a murder case. At this point they're probably deliberating on whether it was planned.
I'd be surprised if they come back and say, "Nope, he didn't do it."
- RAS said...
True. It certainly does seem as though there's plenty of evidence that he did it, but enough wiggle room for him to slip under the intent requirement for first degree murder. I'm just surprised there's been no peep from the press about it in over a week.
I first heard about the case several years ago because a friend is an LAPD criminologist who had the unfortunate luck to be on call the day they collected evidence. It's a good thing for Del Toro that my friend is not on that jury.

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho -- North Idaho College made the decision to allow smokers back to certain areas on campus. The school had been smoke-free since 2010.
Officials at NIC said that the decision is a compromise and a win-win.
"It was revisited last spring when students came forward and said we know we have a non-smoking campus and we want to maintain it generally as a non-smoking campus. But we'd like to have designated smoking areas on the periphery of campus," said Graydon Stanley, Vice President of Student Services at NIC.
He added that the initial problem was that smokers were gathering in common areas just on the outskirts of campus. He said that lead to several students walking through smoke on their way to class.
The plan is to have three designated smoking areas on campus, but more could be added later.
"People gathered in all the places where, again, it went back to that original concern of the number of people being impacted by smokers," Stanley continued. "We felt like it was a way to accommodate those smokers within the context of a non-smoking campus."
KREM 2 News spoken to a student who said she sees the decision as a compromise but it could still impact how non-smokers view NIC.
"Or it could just be a step back," said Reina Thraxton, an NIC student. "Just because some people that have asthma or have a hard time breathing could look somewhere else."
Others disagree, and think they should be able to smoke wherever they choose.
"Honestly, I think you should be able to," said Josh Brown, another NIC student and smoker. "I mean, you're 18 and it's college. I think you should be able to smoke going to your class if you want to. They judge us on smoking cigarettes here. I don't like it."

Everton manager David Moyes has today revealed that goalkeeper Nigel Martyn is probably one of the best signings he has ever made.
The 37-year-old has been without doubt one of Everton's key
performers throughout the season and Moyes feels that without
Martyn's experience and influence the outcome of the season could have been very different.
Moyes said today: "I would reiterate that Nigel has been a terrific signing.
"He has saved us on many occasions this year and when you look at how close we've been to relegation at the end of the season, it is hard to put into words the value of his contribution and what it has meant to have him here.
"I would say he is one of my best signings as a manager because he came for nothing. He only had one year left on his Leeds contract but we took that over.
"It meant big pay cuts for him to leave Leeds and sign a two year deal with us. It has been a great piece of business and although he is 37 he certainly doesn't look ready for the knacker's yard yet!"
Martyn signed a two-year deal when he arrived from Leeds United on transfer deadline day last August and has been an ever-present in the Everton goal since making his debut against Newcastle as a substitute.
"He is longer in the tooth than we would have liked but
keepers do play until they are older and his experience has been
invaluable," added Moyes.
"When Nigel is getting nearer the end of his time with us we know we have got Richard Wright ready to come in."

On CBS 'Morning' today, former Secretary of State Colin Powell endorsed President Obama again for President.
Powell admitted that although he met with Mitt Romney recently, Romney did not ask for his endorsement, and remarked that he speaks with the president "frequently."
Powell added that he doubted Mitt Romney's capability for directing foreign policy, criticizing the "strong neo-conservative views" of Romney's advisory staff.
Powell blamed Congress for failing to reach across the aisle, to move forward on fiscal policy, and praised Obama for his positions on climate change, immigration, and education.
Powell also added that he did not want "Obamacare" repealed. "I don't want to see the new Obamacare plan thrown off the table," he insisted, admitting that the plan had "some issues" that needed "fixed."
"What I see when I look at that plan is 30 million of our fellow citizens will be covered with insurance, and I think that's good," Powell said. "We are one of the few nations in the world with our size, and populations and wealth that does not have universal health care."
Calling himself a "Republican of a moderate mold," Powell appeared annoyed after host Charlie Rose asked him if he would leave the Republican party and become a Democrat.
"I didn't say that at all, Charlie, but nice try," he said abruptly. "I said I'm a moderate Republican and there are fewer of us."

Ooops, forgot about that. I've been banned on NASIOC so I haven't been following it. Call the number on his site after 6:30 PM and see if there is an open spot.
I've been out of the local import scene for a few years now. Much of the time the hang out spot is at AWDTuning anways I could give you old locales, but I'm pretty sure people have moved on since then.
His labor is inexpensive, he knows what he's doing, and he's not happy unless you leave happy. And I'd call him ASAP. He books up rather quickly, so this weekend might not be available .
Not sure what you mean by chill spots.

Date Reviewed: September 8, 2014
Strengths: good looking post, easy to install, not that heavy
Weaknesses: none yet
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: August 17, 2014
Strengths: This post works great, when it works. It started drifting down about a half an inch when I would sit on it after six months of use 50ish rides. I sent it back to KS using the RMA process on the website. I received it back about three weeks later. No more drift, but it seemed to have stiction when returning to the up position. What I noticed is that the "stiction" only happens when the post is mounted in the frame of the bike. Loosening the seat clamp bolt a slight bit eliminated the stiction. Hopefully the issue was just me being ham-fisted and the post it tight enough not to slip, but not so tight as to cause stiction.
Weaknesses: Short time to first failure.

Duration Product Used: 6 months

Bike Setup: Santa Cruz Tallboy C SRAM XO build.
Date Reviewed: July 24, 2014
Strengths: Easy and smooth to use of use
Weaknesses: The seat post sticks when trying to raise it back up, been that way from the beginning. The cable also broke after 12 rides.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: July 10, 2014
Strengths: The LEV is super smooth and can be infinitely adjusted. I also prefer the thumb remote over other dropper posts I have tried. It can drop 150 mm.
Weaknesses: It failed (started to get squishy) after about 10 rides. I sent it in for warranty service and they did "fix" it, but it started doing the same thing after another dozen rides. The factory service took several months with no response phone calls or emails and I have to say KS has the very worst customer service (Mike) in the industry. I took the post off my bike and it is now sitting in my garage reminding me to never waste money with an overpriced media hyped product again. Last Summer this post was being reviewed as the gold standard in dropper posts, do not believe the hype!

Strengths: Consistent performance
Weaknesses: Price, but you get what you pay for and pay for what you get...
Bottom Line:
1) Lost the little cable end cover, but KS sent us new ones (through our LBS) in a matter of days
2) Creaking under load at the seat/post interface, solved with a little piece of teflon shim stock
Our experience has been "set and forget." I only thought about mine because I need to replace the seatpost cable/housing crimped in a crash. The post still works, but not as smoothly as I'm used to.

Strengths: Good looks.
Weaknesses: Unreliable.
Bottom Line:
I sent both for repair. Both failed again, almost instantly. So I sent them for repair once again. Guess what? They both failed again.
These are among the most expensive dropper posts on the market, yet they obviously are NOT even close to reliable. KS don't answer emails and their repair shop (in Spain, I think) have probably not read my description of what was wrong.
Date Reviewed: May 18, 2014
Strengths: I really can't think of any. Never worked properly. Dealer could not get it to work properly and importer tried as well. Works only with very soft and smooth pressure, something you can't do out on the trail. After struggling with it and being very frustrated I have to replace it at my own expense and dump this very expensive piece of equipment
Weaknesses: Never worked from the start. Only works when you stand next to the bike and very carefully and smoothly push the saddle down. Very complicated design with blatent weak spots that lets it down in action. Sitting on the saddle and requiring fast action doesn't work at all. You have to stand up and remove the weight and then very slowly and smoothly try to coax it down. Useless in action out in the field.

Date Reviewed: April 6, 2014
Strengths: Worked great for a few rides.
Weaknesses: After a few rides the post does not return to the top position. I have to lift it up and then when I sit it sags about a inch so I lost some of the seatpost movement and had to raise the post.

Price Paid: $350.00
Purchased At: Jensen
Date Reviewed: March 3, 2014
Strengths: The cable routing is the best feature, not cable dangle. Lever action is nice and light and integrates into my grip. Infinite height adjustment is also nice. The part of the post that sits in the frame is shorter than other posts, allowing for a low seat position.
Weaknesses: After about 4-5 months of use it started to develop bad shaft play, similar to bushing slop you get in a worn out fork. Tried calling and e-mailing KS. I got no response. Eventually sent it in with there online return authorization form. They had it for 2 months. Finally got it back and it still has play. Not only that it won't go up on the initial lever press. I have to pull up on my seat to get it to start moving. Kind of defeats the point of having a dropper post. I tried e-mailing and got no response. Finally got a hold of there tech guy on the phone. His response was that they all do that and that's how they are supposed to work. I told him that it was lame for a post this expensive and that this was not right. He then said he was the head warranty service guy and that's how it was. I have since taken the post part way apart cleaned and put some suspension grease on it and it works a little better but still sticks.
Bottom Line:
Date Reviewed: December 16, 2013
Strengths: Manufacturing and materials.
Size availability.
Market availability.
Weaknesses: Quality. (I can only speak for the 27.2)
DOA/ never got to use it and had to RMA.
RMA turn around is slow. (waiting for parts.)
Bottom Line:
Materials and finish/ packing quality was good.
However, came DOA.
Would not return to top unless I pull it up by hand.
27.2 has no value to adjust the pressure. (RMA is the only option.)
Sent it in 3 weeks ago...still waiting to hear back from KS.
If it works...it would've been a product.

Strengths: The post works well when new, after a couple of months its starts getting sticky and not so smooth going down also the LEV cover fell off while riding. Next time I will try the Rock Shox Reverb Stealth version.
Weaknesses: Ron Easton of Customer Service sucks worst than the seatpost itself. The LEV cover fell off while riding due to the weak o-ring that holds it in place. To make matters worst the serial number that customer service request for service, is on the part of the post that rubs against the seat tube, so the number eventually comes off now you are screwed cause they wont service it without the serial number.
Bottom Line:

Strengths: When it works, it's a great post. Cable position, integrated ODI compatible lever
Weaknesses: Failed after two month's Sagged while sitting on it. Been without the post a month now waiting for parts, terrible customer service.
