Given that the House originates all spending bills, it would be better if they wrote some bills reducing spending such that if Obama/Democrats block it, the government shuts down and people quit getting their checks. Bills adhering to a balanced budget, or preferably ones that actually pay down the debt. But since the Republicans in the House are dominated by big spending RINOs including Boehner, we won't see that happen anytime soon. We'll have to remove the RINOs from office in the primaries in 2014 first.

It's A Date!3 Reviews
Mikey takes Julie on their first official date.
"Do You have to ask that every time I tell You I am going on a date" I sighed as I rummaged through My clothes.
"Hey You are not a master of dating, and as any Catholic from the 1920's will say that You haven't landed a husband so You have no experience at all" Lacey grinned as She sat on My bed.
"Whoa- who said anything about a husband?" I stressed.
"It's a joke. Now- hair?"
"Down and wild"
"Make up?"
"Already taken care of- just black eyeliner and pink lip balm"
"So that just leaves clothes" Lacey stated.
"Um...how about My black denim skirt and a hoodie?"
"No- I want You to think skimpier in the top department"
"I don't have anything skimpy" I whined.
Lacey sighed and hopped off the bed and started to rummage in the bags for a top.
"HA! yes You do" She giggled and tossed Me a top.
"You have got to be kidding" I grimaced at the top.
"Okay guys here She comes- wait where is Gee?" Lacey asked as She stepped out of the bus.
"He went out drinking" Frankie replied.
Well, at least He wasn't here to see this.
I sighed and walked out the bus door.
"Good GOD is Julie showing skin!?!?!" Ray and Bob exclaimed at the same time.
"Why do You guys always sit out here when I have a date?" I asked, ignoring Ray and Bob.
"We don't want to disturb the uh, delicate process of getting ready for a date" Ray grinned.
"You don't want to get stuck with the annoying fat questions" Lacey grinned as Bob nodded at Her.
"Fat questions?" I asked.
"Yeah- girls in the real world ask any guy that is around asks if they look fat in the outfit that they are wearing and if the guy gives the wrong answer, which is normally the case, then the girl has to go change" Lacey answered.
"GOD I hate the fat questions" Frankie exclaimed.
I rolled My eyes.
"You don't look fat Julie, You look incredible" Mikey smiled as He came from behind Me and kissed My neck.
I closed My eyes for a breif second and heard Frankie yell.
I opened them to see Frankie getting up off the floor and dusting His pants down.
"Don't DO that Mikey! it's creepy" Frankie half growled and half begged.
"Oh right, sorry Frankie" Mikey laughed.
"Let's just go okay?" I giggled and grabbed Mikey by the hand and walked off.
"Use protection Mikey!" Bob yelled.
"Be gentle Julie! He will probably cry the first time!" Ray added.
"You mean like when the both of You woke up in the morning in the same bunk realizing what You had done to each other!" I yelled back.
There was a lot of laughter but amongst all the voices I didn't hear Ray's or Bob's.
"So what movie do You want to see?" Mikey asked.
"How about Repo The Genetic Opera?" I suggested.
Mikey nodded and got the tickets as well as the 'fucking large' popcorn I asked for with a frozen coke.
We sat down in the cinema before the movie began.
"Why are We sitting here early?"
"To scope out the best seats" I stated and shivered.
"Are You cold?" Mikey asked.
"A little Yeah" I growled remembering that Lacey forbid Me from wearing a jumper of any kind to cover My tank top and the rest of My skin up.
"Here" Mikey said as He took off His hoodie.
"Mikey I can't take Your hoodie- then You will be cold" I said as I put My hands up forbidding Him from being able to give Me His hoodie.
"Okay" Mikey sighed, put His hoodie back on than got a deliciously cute grin on His face and settled back as the movie began.
I shivered again as the opening credits started.
Mikey chuckled and placed His hand over Mine.
It was like touching a flame- without the burning and charred skin sensation that follows.
I sighed as I drank in the warmth, and didn't notice that His other hand was slowly creeping around My shoulders until I felt His hand lightly brush My collar bone.
Goosebumps broke along My skin where Mikey was touching Me and I shivered again.
"Do You want Me to warm You up?" Mikey whispered seductivley in My ear.
I looked Him dead in the eye and nodded.
Mikey smiled and captured My lips in a soft, but especially warm, kiss.
I slowly pulled Him as close to My body as I could and groaned slightly because there was an arm rest in the way.
"Here- take My hoodie" Mikey whispered and placed the hoodie over My shoulders.
"What about You?" I asked.
"You are keeping Me plenty warm" Mikey grinned and kissed Me again.
"So how was the movie?" Frankie asked as We walked back into the bus hand in hand.
"I don't remember" I answered truthfully.
"Yeah. I'm going to bed, thanks for the date Mikey" I smiled and kissed His cheek.
"Night Julie" Mikey and Frankie said at the same time.
I walked into My room, closed the door and fell on My bed, ecstatic about how the date went.
"Julie is My sis Mikey- please don't hurt Her" I begged.
"Frankie I am telling You now- the more I spend time with Her, the more I can't imagine My life without Her" Mikey said as He walked to His bunk.
I sighed. She did have that effect on people.
I heard scuffling outside and a broken bottle smash.
I turned to the bunks to see if anyone else noticed, but I was the only one up, so I decided to investigate.
"Hello?" I asked as I opened the door.
"Hey Frankie" A non-slurring Gerard answered- He was sitting on one of the chairs We had out for when Julie was getting ready for dates and We wanted to be out of the way.
"What are You doing out here Gerard?" I asked as I walked over to Him.
"Just decided to sit out here a while- You?"
"Couldn't sleep, have You been drinking?"
"No. I just went for a walk" He sighed as He stood up.
"Oh" I replied.
"Hey Frankie?" Gerard asked as He came to stand right in front of Me.
"Yeah?" I asked.
All of a sudden Gerard's lips were on Mine.
Before I had time to react Gerard had already stepped back.
"I like You" Gerard replied to My shocked face and walked back into the bus.

10-28-2013 - Noodles and Company
We swung by Noodles and Company in Broad Ripple to have a heapen helpen of some healthy food. My wife is on a new diet and it includes being gluten free. Noodles and Company has a rice noodle that is very good. She ended up getting the Coconut Curry Noodles.
It was very good and cost less than 6 bucks.
In the end Noodles does it right for a chain and that gets them 4-5 stars in my book!

Paris, April 19th, 2011 – The European Commissioner for the Digital Agenda, Neelie Kroes, has submitted her long-due report on Net neutrality to the EU Parliament. This extremely disappointing document rules out any immediate measures against telecoms operators who continually restrict EU citizens' access to the Internet. Hiding behind false free-market arguments, Mrs Kroes gives way to anti-competitive practices harmful to freedom of communication and innovation in the digital environment.
Paris, April 12th, 2011 - The trans-partisan parliamentary mission led by Laure de la Raudière and Corinne Erhel just released its report on Net neutrality1. This encouraging report calls for preserving the Internet's universality and protecting end-users' fundamental freedoms, and should be considered a template for other European public authorities. That said, while this document offers an important reflection on the evolution of our legal framework to protect fundamental rights and foster the digital economy, it must be followed by actions. La Quadrature du Net publishes an unofficial translation of the report's introduction.
Paris, April 12th, 2011 - The Industry Committee of the European Parliament has adopted amendments to the EU Spectrum Policy Programme allowing for a free use of airwaves for citizens, which will lead to the development of the next generations of free wireless Internet communications ("next generation WiFi"). This vote is encouraging and must be confirmed in plenary, despite the pressure that broadcasters and telecoms industries will inevitably put on the European Parliament to keep airwaves under control.
Next Tuesday, April 12th, the EU Parliament Committee on Industry, Research and Energy (ITRE) will hold a major vote for the future of wireless communications in the European Union. By amending the radio spectrum policy programme proposed by the European Commission, Members of the Parliament have an opportunity to boost wireless Internet access. By encouraging shared and unlicensed uses of the spectrum, they can create the next generation of WiFi networks that will improve access to the Internet in urban as well as rural communities, and launch the next wave of innovation in mobile communications. But the risk is for Europe to give in to media or telecoms corporations who would like to control the airwaves – a public resource. La Quadrature calls on EU citizens and NGOs to step into this important debate on the future of our communications system, which forms the structure of our democratic societies.
Paris, November 19th, 2010 – In a letter sent today to Commissioner Neelie Kroes, in charge of the Digital Agenda, La Quadrature du Net calls on the European Commission to take concrete steps to protect Net neutrality in the European Union. Following Mrs. Kroes' speech last week during the EU Net neutrality summit, the citizen advocacy group urges the Commission to engage with national regulatory authorities to ensure that the socio-economic benefits brought about by the Internet will be preserved. A long-awaited debate on which traffic management practices are acceptable and which are not, along with firm guidelines and enforcement, are urgently needed if our societies are to protect Net neutrality.
Strasbourg, May 19, 2010 - Today, with the release of Neelie Kroes' Digital Agenda, the European Commission is unveiling major policy orientations regarding Internet-related policies. Several leaked drafts of the document revealed heavy pressures from various special interest groups. While the general outcome of the final document is encouraging, the crucial question of interoperability and open standards was eventually arbitrated in favour of US software vendors' positions. On IPR enforcement and cybercrime, the worst has been avoided but some very ambiguous wording remains.
Paris, May 17th 2010 - On Tuesday May 18th, the Commission's Digital Agenda will be released. This important document will define the European Union's future policies on the Internet and other communications technologies. A leaked draft showed that major policy orientations remained to be arbitrated in advance of the release. Although much of the document puts forward very sensible and positive proposals, potential mentions of dogmatic copyright enforcement and Internet filtering could be sneaked in the final document at the last minute. Will the rights and freedoms of EU citizens be protected?
By Jérémie Zimmermann.
"Article 11 of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen of 1789 proclaims : "The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious rights of man. Every citizen may thus speak, write and publish freely, except when such freedom is misused in cases determined by Law". In the current state of the means of communication and given the generalized development of public online communication services and the importance of the latter for the participation in democracy and the expression of ideas and opinions, this right implies freedom to access such services. " - Conseil Constitutionnel, decision 2009-580 (§ 12)
Paris, February 15th, 2009 - Tomorrow, a parliamentarian resolution will be submitted in Iceland in order to turn the country into a model for freedom of expression on the Internet. Far away from the conservative vision displayed by many confused governments who try to control freedom of communication on the Net through "three strikes", Internet blocking or the ACTA, this would be a historic event. La Quadrature du Net supports this project and congratulates the coalition of Icelandic Parliamentarians at the origin of the initiative.
Last week, the Spanish Presidency of the EU Council came up with a new draft resolution1 in response to the Commission's communication on enhancing the enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR) in the internal market.
[Update - March 5th, 2010: The resolution has been adopted by the Council with no significant changes.]
Paris, January 15th, 2010 - Yesterday, the ITRE committee of the European Parliament led the hearing of Commissioner-designate for the Digital Agenda, Mrs. Neelie Kroes.
Commissioner Kroes addressed a number of issues regarding freedoms in the networked society, expressing a positive opinion regarding amendment 1381 and praising interoperability standards. She also indicated her strong support in favor of Net neutrality.
La Quadrature du Net sent this letter to the members of the ITRE and CULT committees of the European Parliament to urge them to ask the following questions to Mrs. Kroes, Commissioner-designate for the Digital Agenda, during her hearing on Thursday, January 14th.
Paris, December 16th, 2009 - 2 weeks after launching a consultation, la Quadrature du Net is submitting to the European Parliament a set of questions to be asked to the Commissioners designate.
Paris, November 26th 2009 - La Quadrature is calling on European citizens to submit questions aimed at finding out where the next European Commission (2010-2014) stands on EU citizens' fundamental freedoms on the Internet.
The Council of the European Union and the President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, just agreed1 on a college of Commissioners designate. The Parliament will now conduct hearings2 before appointing the full college.

Dine Out without Doing Yourself In
Learn how to eat out without killing your diet.
JJ Virgin: It's that time of the year when you're running around and don't really want to deal with making dinner. It just seems easier to pop into a local restaurant to grab a quick bite. Is it possible to do that while staying on your program? The amazing news is YES! You can actually make eating out an easier way to stay on your plan than eating in.
The biggest benefit of eating out is that you'll never have seconds, plus it's literally impossible to snack around the kitchen while you're doing meal preparation. You can also give instructions to your waiter and eat exactly the way you want to while trying new foods, enjoying your friends, and de-stressing.
I have a few simple tips on how to eat out and keep it healthy:
- Act as a menu detective. Your job is to find the best protein choices and then ignore the sides that come with it. If that grilled salmon has a big mountain of mashed potatoes next to it on the menu, you can pass on those carbs. Now, scan down the menu and notice how the steak dish comes with wonderful grilled veggies. Just ask your waiter to make a "sides" swap.
- Be BFFs with your waiter or waitress. You don't need to explain that you're on an eating plan. Just simply say, "I need your help! I'm trying to eat healthy, so could we do xyz?" If you're nice about it, then they will make any swap you want, and even make suggestions on other healthy meal choices and favorites. They will also make sure the kitchen listens to your requests.
- Start out your meal with a great salad of mixed greens and an assortment of veggies. Shop the menu and swap on the dressings as well. Lose the sugary and/or creamy choices like raspberry vinaigrette, Asian dressing, or creamy Italian, and ask for olive oil and vinegar. Also beware of foods that turn a salad into a dessert, such as candied nuts and sweet, dried fruits. Don't eat hunks of blue cheese that turn a simple salad into a 1,000 calorie proposition. Opt for baby greens or romaine over that wedge of iceberg lettuce, which has poor nutritional value and loads of pesticides. Try a spinach salad instead with fresh tomatoes and avocado.
- I like to skip the standard restaurant starches such as potatoes and rice and just order double veggies. This is also a great time to try the veggies that you don't normally make at home. Kale and brussel sprouts, anyone?
- You're not being a pain if you sweetly ask how the food is prepared, and ask that it be grilled with all creamy sauces on the side. Don't allow them to "crisp" anything (veggies or meat) because it's just a PC way of saying fried.
- Want a yummy appetizer? Try that guacamole that the waiter makes at your table, but skip the chips and ask for cut up, raw veggies. You can also do this with a hummus dip.
- Please send that bread basket away because you don't want to invite the enemy to the table. If others at your table want bread, move it away from you. Don't nibble on the crust because that will lead to eating half the basket. Engage in conversation and vow to just pass on the gluten festival.
- Now let's say you had a very healthy dinner of a protein, some healthy fat in the olive oil dressing with your salad, and your grilled veggies. Have the mixed berries for dessert as your carb. If you must indulge in a higher caloric dessert, then try my three-bite rule. Have three small bites -- the kind you would eat in front of a queen holding court -- and then put down your fork. Someone at the table will certainly scarf down the rest.
- Remember to keep the drinking in check. One glass of pinot noir is a healthy drink that's great for your skin. Don't allow the waiter to keep pouring from the bottle at the table. Cut yourself off and then opt for water or sparkling water for the rest of the outing.

2009 marks a new era in chef-prepared meals. Gourmet chef prepared foods that is. Any who I have decided to go with the family Thanksgiving feast being ordered from ArtikoChef.com, since they have great reviews. My family will think I made it for them! Ha! I just won't tell them.
Don't eat out! Take it from a waiter of 20 years…YOU STINK! If you can't deal with the concept and menu the restaurant has provided then make your own stuff at home! You are a nightmare to waiters!

We know a lot of Flossers are fans of The Golden Girls. But for those of you who were too young to watch the show when it first aired, many of the topical references might be ancient history. Hopefully with this handy reference guide in hand, those reruns will be twice as hilarious in the future!
Danny Thomas was born Amos Muzyad Yakhoob Kairouz in Michigan, but grew up in Toledo, Ohio (also the hometown of fellow Lebanese-American actor Jamie Farr). When Thomas was struggling to make a name for himself in show business, he prayed to St. Jude, the Patron Saint of Hopeless Causes, and pledged to make a shrine in his honor if he found success. Not long afterward, Thomas landed several regular roles on network radio shows, which ultimately led to his own long-running TV sitcom, Make Room for Daddy. Thomas went on to not only produce several other successful TV series but also founded St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, TN.
The movie Sophia was referring to was a 1987 film comedy starring two box office powerhouses of that time, Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman, as two untalented songwriters who get a gig performing in Morocco and somehow end up involved in some Cold War shenanigans. Directed by Elaine May, the film received a lot of negative press before it was released due to its enormous budget and reports of fights between the stars and director. It went on to become synonymous with "expensive box office bomb" and ended up on many "Worst of" lists.
Doug Henning was a Canadian-born magician/illusionist who gained fame in the 1970s with his World of Magic TV specials, and eventually a Tony-nominated Broadway show.
Actor Fess Parker was actually considered to be ruggedly handsome, but that's probably not the ideal look for a woman. Parker played both Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett on two different TV series.
Hee-Haw was a long-running (over 20 years in first-run syndication) comedy/variety show that was a rural version of Laugh-In. Each episode was filled with hayseed humor (a recurring skit featured cast members trading one-liners in a makeshift cornfield) and the top country music stars of the day.
Susan Hayward won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Barbara "Bloody Babs" Graham, a former prostitute and small-time crook who gets involved with a gang of men that commit a murder. Badgered by the press and represented by poor legal counsel, Graham was ultimately sentenced to the gas chamber.
A former Miss America finalist, Anita Bryant became the spokeswoman for the Florida Citrus Commission in 1969 and appeared in a series of TV commercials singing the praises of orange juice. Then in 1977 she led a highly publicized campaign to repeal a Dade County, Florida, ordinance that prohibited discrimination based on sexual orientation. Her statements equating homosexuals with child molesters resulted in a national backlash that, for many years, made "Anita Bryant" a common insult directed at any person displaying an intolerance for gay people.
Burl Ives wasn't born in the south, strictly speaking, but rather southern Illinois. However, early in his career he gained fame as a folk singer with such homespun hits as "Bluetail Fly", "Foggy Foggy Dew" and "Big Rock Candy Mountain". He later acted in films and on television, and is probably best remembered today for his holiday hit "Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" and his narration of the annual TV special Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Shinola was a brand of shoe polish. In the 1940s, a popular colloquialism to describe someone's naiveté was "He doesn't know [excrement] from Shinola." Perhaps that's why the brand eventually went out of business…the Shinola folks couldn't come up with an advertising slogan that was more memorable than the insult. (Obviously, there is some NSFW language in the video clips.)
The Palestinian Liberation Organization is a paramilitary organization founded in 1964 and was considered by the United States and Israel to be a terrorist group until the Madrid Conference in 1991. Until 1988, the PLO's stated goal was "the liberation of Palestine through armed struggle," and thanks to many headline-making international terrorist actions, the mention of those three initials evoked as much fear as al-Qaeda does today.
When Sophia discussed the effects of menopause, she name-dropped Yasser Arafat, the long-time leader of the PLO (see above) who was also known for his distinctive chin stubble.
Cheech and Chong are a Grammy-winning comedy duo who gained popularity in the 1970s for their routines that relied a lot on drug and hippie-style humor. They went on to star in several "stoner" comedy films such as Up in Smoke and Nice Dreams.
Consumer advocate David Horowitz used to host a TV show called Fight Back. He specialized in exposing false advertisements, shady business practices, and outright rip-offs.
Golden Girls fans love to share their favorite quotes, so if there are any that you want clarified here's the place to do it!

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) - Make it four straight months of lower jobless rates for Branch County. The State reported this week that the April unemployment rate for the county had fallen to 7.7%. That compares to a state-wide average last month of 8.2% with the local rate a half-a percent below the March number and compares to 8.8% in February for the county and 9.2% to begin 2013 in January. A year ago in April, the unemployment rate in Branch County was 7.9%.
Job gains last month around Michigan were mostly seasonal and confined to four industry sectors, led by a 13,000 employee increase in leisure and hospitality services. Other over-the-month job advances were posted in construction, trade, transportation and utilities, education, and health services. The state's remaining industry sectors exhibited little change in April.

'Sometimes we consume things we don't want to'
Depersonalized woman [Servetta Muta]
The human who has no face and voice — has no personality… so, when woman puts the 'Moretta' [Servetta Muta] mask on her face, that woman ceases to be a person — she becomes a sex toy and a slave of her 'womb destiny'. It's notable that Upper Paleolithic (40 000-10 000 years ago) Female Figurines and drawings (made by men, of course) are mostly headless, even if they have heads — they are faceless, and finally, if they have faces — they have no mouths! Wiki article about the Figurines
I think it shows men's attitude towards women, without false — men are not interested in women's personality, sex is the only thing men want from women).
'Moretta' — Lilith
(more photos HERE)
The 'Moretta' mask is a traditional Venetian mask.
It's oval mask with no mouth opening, (just eye holes) without ties to secure it in place, relying instead on a button sewn on the inside of the mask which was clamped in the mouth of the wearer, so keeping the mask in place and rendering the wearer mute.
This is why the 'Moretta' mask is also called the 'Servetta Muta' meaning 'mute maid servant'.
'Moretta' mask has many different meanings and i would like to highlight two of them:
1) mythological — Black (Imaginary) Moon [Lilith]
2) psychological — depersonalized woman.
Black (Imaginary) Moon [Lilith]
It is an astrological concept described as the empty focus of the Moon's orbit.
Here is some quotes from astrological articles:
«Astronomically, the Black Moon is an isolated point, a point of neglect, repression, fermentation, and "magical" transformations that belong to a phantasmal, nocturnal, and instinctive/erotic world. It contains all the more instinctual energies (including the atavistic wisdom and clairvoyance, which is dependent on bodily functions) deep within the psyche, of which sexuality is of course paramount, and which manifest themselves in fairy tales and in primitive lunar symbolism: the night, the mystery, the magic, the danger, the secret, the fear, that which is forbidden…» (Lilith and the Black Moon)
«…Investigations into the Mythology of Lilith seems to reveal a dark figure of a tormented woman indeed. The Black Moon Lilith in Astrology in my view focuses on the dark or unconscious side of Lilith in personality. The traditional Lilith mythology is varied and complex, it incorporates the darker side of the female psyche and the sexualization of unbound, non integrated impulses. Perhaps in a complex way, descriptions of the Black Moon Lilith (BML) are the denied emotional aspects of Lilith's tormented personality». (Black Moon and Liliths Dark Side)
So, here are the photos provide this mythological meaning — Black (Imaginary) Moon [Lilith]

Quiet Drive™ is a ground-breaking noise reduction technology offered exclusively on all BraunAbility wheelchair vans. Quiet Drive reduces noise for a more enjoyable driving experience by using advanced acoustic techniques to identify and then block noise from entering the vehicle cabin. Click here to find out more.
Auto Door & Ramp
The Honda Entervan's sliding door opens reliably at the touch of a button. This feature can be activated with the standard keychain remote, or with one of the interior control switches. The lightweight aluminum ramp extends to allow easy access to the interior for wheelchairs and scooters. A durable, non-skid powder-coated finish ensures superior traction, and the slotted surface helps to prevent your chair from tracking debris into the van. In the event of power failure, the ramp can easily be operated manually.
Auto Kneel
To make boarding even easier, BraunAbility handicap vans feature an integrated "kneeling" system. An electric actuator lowers the rear suspension while the door opens, which reduces the slope of the ramp even further.
Remote Control
The door, ramp and kneeling functions can be activated by the van's original keychain remote control - an exclusive feature patented by BraunAbility. Just press the passenger sliding door button, and everthing operates automatically.
Lowered Floor
From the firewall to the rear axle, the wheelchair van's floor is up to 10" lower than conventional minivans. With a choice of seating positions, wheelchair users can choose to ride in their chair and enjoy the view.
Removable Seating
For those who wish to ride up front or even drive from their wheelchair, BraunAbility Step-and-Roll seats make it easy: just step on the foot lever and roll the seats out of the van. The seats can be reinstalled into the Entervan just as easily when needed.
Rear Cargo Area
The spare tire is stored in the rear driver-side wall, leaving the rear compartment free for cargo. When more space is needed, the third row Flip-and-Fold seats make extra space easy and convenient in just two simple steps.
Wheelchair Tie Downs
Each wheelchair van includes a standard floor-track and belt system that secures the wheelchair for transit. An optional retractable belt system, pictured at left, is a versatile and convenient option. Independent users can even elect to have an automatic tie-down installed. Due to the wide variety of wheelchairs and tie-down systems available, we recommend that you check with your local dealer to determine which system will work best for you and your handicapped van.

A mother and her three young daughters died in a fiery head-on crash on I-20 that also killed another driver, police say.
Mesquite police say 27-year-old Krystle Carranza of Lindale was driving the wrong way on the freeway about 11:15 p.m. when she collided with an SUV near FM 740.
Her family says Carranza's daughters were also in her truck: 10-month old Aleah; 3-year-old Delaney; and 5-year-old Nevaeh.
The driver of the other vehicle was identified as 70-year-old Fred Ulysses Hammett, an attorney from San Diego. A friend said he had just arrived in North Texas for his sister's memorial service and was driving a rental car.
A Department of Public Safety trooper witnessed the accident. The trooper saw the pickup pass him, driving west in the eastbound lane, and started to turn around to stop the vehicle.
As soon as the trooper turned around, he saw the four-door truck smashed into a white GMC crossover SUV, and both vehicles burst into flames.
Emergency crews tried to put out the flames with fire extinguishers, but the fire was too strong.
DPS closed all lanes of eastbound I-20 until just before 5 a.m. for investigation.
Troopers are investigating to see if alcohol played a factor in the crash.
Carranza's husband also told police he was talking to her on the phone before the crash, but he said the call dropped.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
The staff at Cobblestone is wonderful! It is a small community school that does wonderfully with the resources it has. There is a lot of parental involvement, which is encouraged and somewhat relied on with today's lack of funding for education. The principal is very involved with the students so they don't just see her when they are in trouble. My daughter is only in first grade but I have gotten to know several teachers, and when speaking with other parents I have yet to hear anything negative about any of the staff.
Cobble Stone and Rio Del Oro, both are awful places to work, and awful places to send your children. If you live in this area send your child to Arboga Elementary. Academically they are far more advanced than Plumas Lake, and with better teachers. I'm sending my child back to Arboga just after a few weeks at Plumas Lake Elementary School District.
My son started kindergarten at Cobblestone for the 10-11 school year and we have been very happy with the school & the teachers! He is in a special education program to help with his speech delays and he has made phenomenal progress! The teachers are so committed and dedicated and treat each child as an individual. I originally had looked into private school but due to the costs of daycare & private school since i work full-time, we just couldn't afford it. I am definitely happy that we chose to live in Rocklin for our son to go to a better school! We have been beyond pleased with Cobblestone. Keep up the good work! :)
My son just started this year for kindergarten and so far we are very happy! He loves all of his teachers and they are all so dedicated to the children and their individual needs!
We have three children who attend Cobblestone Elementary.They are in first ,fourth and fifth grade and all started at Cobblestone . Cobblestone is a great learning environment all the way around from the highly skilled teachers who care and a super involved principal who always knows what is going on , awesome parent volunteers including a dedicated PTC equals a wonderful learning experience. What more could you ask for? More money for our schools but that is a nationwide problem . Did I mention a great neighborhood as well.
Great neighborhood, great potential, all lost in the execution. If you are looking for a system that pays lip service without follow thru, this is the school for you. This is definitely a pass.
This was an awesome school. Most of the teachers has several years tenure. The principal was very friendly, and my daughter loved it. A very neighborhood feel!
I have a very different picture of Cobblestone elementary school. While my fifth grade daughter did well and had a lovely teacher, they had to work off of copies from their math book because there were not enough textbooks to go around. If you have a special needs child, RUN, don't walk, to a different school district.
My daughter is in 3rd grade, and also attended 2nd grade at this school. Her experience has been wonderful, she has grown academically and socially. The method of teaching works very well for her, she can be a challange as she is easily distracted, yet she has been kept on course, and if anything is ever going on to show that she is deviating, we are promptly notified. I am very proud of her accomplishments, they are her own and with the direction of Cobblestone, teachers and staff she has a strong desire to push herself. She has many friends and the deversity of students keeps her eye open to the world around us.
Cobblestone is a wonderful school. Our first grade teacher is outstanding, despite only 1 year of experience. The library is tiny and lacking, but the computer lab is nice. No separate gymnasium either, just a multi-purpose room that serves as cafeteria, gym, and stage for Visual Arts performances. Class sizes seem average and parental involvment/participation is appears above average. Many, perhaps too many, fundraising, but I guess a necessary evil today. Overall, very satisfied with Cobblestone.
The school is excellent. The teachers are top notch.
Cobblestone is a fantastic elementary school. My child started kindergarten there and is now in 5th grade. Every teacher she has had has been extremely dedicated to the education of our children. I believe she is receiving a top notch education and will be successful in her future endeavours. Our principal is great, always available for any questions, comments or concerns. Our PTC is awesome. The committees have raised thousands of dollars which goes directly back into programs for our children. So, parents out there, get involved with your childrens school!
We think Cobblestone school is very well run, with excellent teachers and administrators. We have a fifth grader and a third grader who both started their education at Cobblestone. We have been very happy with all of the teachers! The school is well run. The PTA is very involved and does a number of positive things for the school. Overall, an excellent school.
I completely disagree with the first and only review that I have read about Cobblestone Elementary School. Never have I seen such dedicated, caring, and professional teachers who consistently go beyond. The principal, Ms. Goddard, bring positive and accessible leadership. The Cobblestone PTC is second to none. . . truly . . . . The president, Laurie J., has done an absolutely marvelous job and puts in so many hours in a positive and very open manner . . . She is kind and hardworking. Cobblestone is an awesome school. All who are fortunate to be touched by this community-based school . . . are lucky and blessed!
Cobblestone Elementary is probably fairly typical of most California schools -- in a wealthy area, but where none of the constituents want to pay enough in taxes to provide quality education for their children. We had a special needs child in kindergarten (and fought the district all year to try and get the minimum of good services) and had a fifth grader. The fifth grader's teacher was good, and really a sweet lady, but our daughter was provided with low quality textbooks, or none at all. (no math book -- copies were made of pages within the math book at the beginning of the year -- what is up with that?) The band teacher was wonderful, but he had absolutely no support from the parents. If you have low-quality support from parents you will receive a low-quality education. And if you have a special needs child, do what we did, and leave California entirely! You will never receive a good education in that state.

The novel won the Writers' Guild Award for Children's Fiction as well as the 1996 Nestlé Smarties Book Prize. Morpurgo, whose novel "War Horse" went on to become a smash hit on both stage and screen, says "The Butterfly Lion" is his favourite of all the books he has written.

400 agencies throughout Minnesota are targeting those who speed during the month of July. Troopers, deputies, and officers will be specifically targeting patrols on enforcing speed limits throughout the state.
One of the biggest dangers of excessive speed is fatal or serve crashes. Last year alone speed resulted in 254 traffic deaths and 689 severe, life altering injuries.
Minnesota Department of Public Safety reminds drivers the Dangers of speeding:
Troopers say they're not out targeting people just to write tickets, but rather keep the roads safe for everyone.
Sergeant Jesse Grabow of the Minnesota State Patrol says, "really what we're trying to target here is the excessive speed where it gets to be a real issue such as maybe aggressive driving things like that especially the people that are in and out of traffic and driving very aggressively not only presenting a danger to themselves but again the rest of the motoring public around them".
Penalties for drivers who take this message lightly should know speeding citations for 10 mph over the limit are typically more than $120. Drivers stopped at 20 mph over the speed limit face double the fine, and those ticketed traveling more than 100 mph can lose their license for six months.
Troopers say the best thing you can do is always drive the speed limit and keep a three-second following distance between you and other drivers to allow for safe stopping and reaction time.

Gear Review: Sketchers GoRun Ride Running Shoes
The best thing that Sketchers ever did was sign Meb Keflezighi. It was totally out of the blue. I remember the buzz a few years back that the 2004 Olympic silver medalist in the marathon was without a shoe sponsor! That was unheard of and there was speculation that his previous sponsor, Nike, was just not paying out what Meb deserved. Just as the buzz started to die down, all the sudden it hit the news waves; Meb Keflezighi signed with…SKETCHERS! Hold up, WHAT?! Sketchers makes running shoes!? You dang right they do…and they recently came out with some really good ones, The GoRun Ride running shoe.
So here's the breakdown on this shoe.
In addition to just a 4mm drop from heel to forefoot this shoe is made with a bit of a rocker through the mid foot to create that seamless transition from midfoot to forefoot. It was designed specifically this way to eliminate the tendency to heel stike and to get you up on that forefoot. It seems that fewer and fewer people are even attempting to debate this viable theory that midfoot to forefoot landing is far superior for both efficiency and dampening the stress your body takes with each footfall.
Just don't run in these shoes like the models in this video did…heavy heel striking!
This shoe is built on a traditional last with a neutral midsole. Being that it is designed for midfoot landing, it takes away the necessity of having a stability post built into the medial side of the shoe (very unnatural). Therefore, this shoe can work well on most runners if used properly (limited heavy heel striking).
The GoRun Ride has even received credit for its adaptability on all surfaces. I wouldn't take this shoe on anything super technical or rugged but if it's a mellow trail with some rollers, it works great. But if you are bounding rock to rock descending rugged terrain you may twist an ankle or puncture the foam midsole if you push it too far.
Another cool aspect of this shoe is the variety of color options you have to choose from. As far as I could see, they have 15 color options on Amazon.com. I think Sketchers is sort of trying to piggyback on the Nike Free series by offering high quality running shoes but also trying to compete in the style department.
Additional Specs:
Weight: 7.8 Ounces (Mens) 6.8 ounces (Womens)
Price: In certain colors as low as $46.95 on Amazon.com
Heel to Forefoot Drop: 4mm
Awards: Won Best Debut Shoe from Runners World Magazine
So there you have it, that's my gear review on the Sketchers GoRun Ride running shoe. For me, this is the perfect shoe for taking out on those 3-6 mile cruiser runs where you just want something to be comfortable and feel good on your foot. It doesn't hurt that's its a pretty cool looking shoe too. It has a minimalist heel to forefoot ration but is built up on some great cushioning to protect your body for those who are wary of a true minimalist shoe. While Sketchers is an emerging brand in the running world, with the help of Meb Keflezighi, the GoRun series, and their continued committment to offering a solid line of running shoes, I think they are here to stay. Keep an open mind with these guys! Check out other reviews and pricing here.
Thanks for checking out my site and please leave me a comment about your thoughts and feedback on this shoe!

Interesting to read this! I have actually been running in these shoes since July. I was down in CA and walked by a Sketchers store (it was actually in Manhattan Beach, where they are headquartered)! I was in a hurry to catch a flight, but walked out with a pair of these. I thought all of the different colors were different styles, but found out later they were not because I would have liked a different color than the gray/orange they brought out for me.
I ran 6.0 in them yesterday, and they felt fine, but I did notice a little bit of foot pain afterwards. That might just be from upping my mileage too. I'm fine now. I will say that the sole/grooves are so soft that they pick up rocks like crazy (trail running), and many of them are the size of marbles! After every run I have to pick them out.
They do promote a mid foot strike, which is noticeable and I like this fact in the hopes that it takes some strain off my knees.

They are holding up fine. My mileage last summer was VERY low in them. (I was alternating shoes to get used to them). Probably less than 25. Since New Years I have put about 35 on them. The sales guy said they should hold up well to ~800 miles as opposed to typical shoes which are around 500ish? I should look in to this more.

Now comes the heavy lifting for Enbridge, First Nations
Jim Prentice
Contributed to The Globe and Mail
The National Energy Board's endorsement of the Northern Gateway pipeline has set out a well-considered path from a regulatory perspective. That is, after all, what the NEB's role has always been in the often heated debate surrounding Enbridge's proposal.
The project will now unfold against a much broader and more complicated backdrop. The report sets out a thorough regulatory framework surrounding environmental and safety considerations. The critical issue still to be negotiated, however, is the full economic participation of First Nations. And this is a requirement that now falls to Enbridge.
The stakes for Canada are high.
It's clear that the status quo on resource development no longer holds and we are charting a new course. How we manage our way forward with the Northern Gateway project will play a major role in determining Canada's economic and social future, especially as it relates to resource development and the Asia-Pacific basin.
To be clear, the United States will always be Canada's best customer when it comes to energy exports. But as we move toward North American energy self-sufficiency at a speed that has caught even Americans by surprise, Canada needs to diversify its customer base.
With our dependence on that single customer and with all the growth in Asia-Pacific energy demand, we need to pivot toward these new markets. The NEB report acknowledges that such expansion is "in the public interest" and that Canada will be better off if Northern Gateway proceeds.
Embedded in this shifting reality are challenging constitutional and legal issues related to West Coast energy corridors, terminals, shipping routes and marine management. These are areas that require the regulation set out by the NEB report. But they also require the negotiation of economic partnerships with First Nations.
Enbridge must continue to advance those negotiations, albeit in a complicated environment, because British Columbia is a tapestry of unresolved treaty and land claims.
The inclusion of First Nations in the process must be about far more than observing the constitutional duty to consult and accommodate. It is about getting traction on economic terms in a difficult legal and constitutional environment.
The duty to consult and accommodate was designed in anticipation of the day now arrived. It's designed to ensure that First Nations have a seat at the table in decisions involving resource development, such as Northern Gateway, and to ensure full economic participation in those decisions.
The constitutional difficulties are well understood: The federal government acknowledged that its relationship with aboriginal communities needed to be redefined when it appointed Douglas Eyford as special representative on West Coast energy infrastructure earlier this year. It gave him a mandate to consult with aboriginal communities in British Columbia and Alberta that could benefit from future energy infrastructure development.

Mick Foley voiced a character on Sunday night's episode of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim show Squidbillies. The character was a professional wrestler that beats up the father squid and then the son squid has to go on steroids to fight him.
The character looked similar to Hulk Hogan, was named Thunder Clap (like Thunderlips), and was going through a messy divorce.
It didn't sound like Foley at first because of voice effects, but as the episode went on you could tell it was him. He sounded like was doing a Cactus Jack promo for most of the episode. He wasn't listed in the credits, but that may be because most Adult Swim shows are non-union so members of SAG or AFTRA are either uncredited or use a pseudonym.
Foley first appears at 3 minutes into the episode. The episode is about 12 minutes long and can be viewed here.

We've still yet to see any real evidence of how much piracy actually hurts these industries, their 'lost profits' numbers are complete works of fiction (see recent TED talk on copyright math http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZadCj8O1-0).
I have a hard time taking anyone seriously when they support these laws and trade agreements when they're basing their regulatory decisions on numbers they are fed by the injured party, not calculated by regulated independent bodies, not to mention the fact that studies have actually shown that pirates purchase more music than non-pirates (http://arstechnica.com/media/news/2009/04/study-pirates-buy-tons-more-music-than-average-folks.ars http://torrentfreak.com/pirates-are-the-music-industrys-most-valuable-customers-100122/).
I think we don't need ACTA, we don't need more nonsense copyright laws and protections and all the rest that these entertainment industries are asking for, what we need is some hard figures on how much these industries are being hurt before we buy into any of it, and as publicly elected officials, who should have the public interest at heart, you should be asking for the same thing or you're no longer working for the public interest.
I'd really love to see these politicians critically think about these numbers instead of parroting them.
I'm in the middle here. I write as a hobby, and if I did ever make any money, I would most certainly want it protected.
But I worry about how ACTA may be used with too heavy a hand, despite reassurances to the contrary. There needs to be absolute confidence in the legislation that it will not be abused.
(Oh, and my mum loves your music Pete!)
Imagine how surprised I am to be agreeing with David Martin. But I do agree with him on ACTA, 110%. And nothing Pete Wishart can say will change my mind.
I think Pete is closer to my opinion on ACTA than he thinks. In my statement accompanying my report on ACTA I emphasise the importance of stronger IPR protection for European producers, and call on the European Commission to come forward with new proposals to be discussed with the European Parliament.
The statement is here: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//NONSGML%2BCOMPARL%2BPE-486.174%2B02%2BDOC%2BPDF%2BV0//EN
To clarify one mistake in his blog – ACTA, if ratified, would indeed be applicable in the UK and binding on all its signatories. The Agreement was negotiated by the European Commission on behalf of all EU Member States, and if it comes into force in the EU it will apply to every Member State, including the UK, equally.

NC Electric Cooperatives Restore Power to 76,000
Co-ops have hit the halfway point, coming down from a peak of 152,000 outages after Hurricane Irene
RALEIGH, N.C., Aug. 28, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- North Carolina's electric cooperatives have restored power to more than half of the 152,000 members who experienced outages as a result of Hurricane Irene. About 76,000 households are still without electricity.
Cooperative crews will continue to work diligently to get the lights back on, but impassible roadways and flooding have hampered restoration efforts in the most severely damaged areas. The N.C. Department of Transportation is reporting significant road closures throughout eastern North Carolina due to downed trees and power lines.
Consumers are reminded that fallen lines can be energized and deadly. Some inland counties have seen as much as 10-15 inches of rain, and flooding is a major concern throughout the region. Water is a strong conductor of electricity so stay away from flooded or wet areas for your own safety. Remember that lines covered by water and downed trees are difficult to see. Do not attempt to cut trees near power lines.
North Carolina's electric cooperatives serve more than 2.5 million people in 93 of the state's 100 counties, primarily in rural parts of the state.

What is Place of Promise?
Place of Promise is a Christian non-profit organization that has a residential program designed to help those who are hurting, lost, and broken to choose and find Life. It owns four houses in Lowell, MA which have become not only a home for the men, women, and children who live there, but it is also a place where they can find promise for their futures.
The residents at POP come to this home from a variety of backgrounds and countries. It is a place where each is recognized for the beauty of being a human being created in the image of God and who has something to give to the family and the community of Place of Promise. The center of Place of Promise is a belief that the Way to have Life is to know and have a relationship with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus does not turn away from the poor, suffering, or the people who are considered the "fringe" of society, but He loves and empowers them to live to each one's fullest potential. The Place of Promise is a place reaching out to those who no longer want to wear the labels they themselves and society have given them. Instead, each one who comes to live at Place of Promise chooses life with a promise that they can be treated as individuals with goals, futures, and hopes. Place of Promise has been in existence for twenty years and has made a positive difference in the lives of many hurting, broken people.
Each one who comes is assisted in finding the best health care services, day treatment centers, counselors, social services, educational services, etc. available in the Lowell area to provide what they need to live to their fullest potential. At the same time, each one becomes part of the supportive caring family of Place of Promise where the staff help provide case management and advocacy necessary to implement outside interventions towards the goal of life and spiritual, relational, emotional, and physical healing.
