Cops: Accused Prostitute Offered Undercover Officer Sex For Cheeseburgers Off McDonald's Dollar Menu
The woman, the detective reported, replied that the pair could go have sexual intercourse if I bought her two double cheese burgers off the dollar menu at McDonalds. The cop added, I agreed to the deal and purchased the hamburgers for $2.75.
(Excerpt) Read more at thesmokinggun.com ...
Kathleen should always be admired! Especially bt "Old People" with LOTS of money!
Whether it be by old folks, or by us!
"Old" is just a description, of course, not a pejorative. I have hopes of being old myself, eventually, and rich wouldn't hurt, either.
Anoreth went with us on our guest pass and wandered around the garden. An invite to the luncheon would have required her own contributing membership. DP gave her a Mint Julep he didn't like, and some ice cream chilled with liquid nitrogen. She said she'd seen ice cream made that way at a sushi restaurant, so I guess restaurant supply houses sell liquid nitrogen.
Tom has gone with the Boy Scouts for his Order of the Arrow "ordeal." I told the leaders to make sure he suffered! DP has taken Elen, Sally, Pat, and James to camp with the Cub Scouts, and I'll go over early tomorrow with the smaller children and the food for everyone's breakfast, which is in our refrigerator overnight.
Using a preposition to end a sentence is something up with which I will not put.
You are *so* my sort of person!
We have a single verb that expresses the concept "put up with" ... more than one, actually, as "tolerate" or "endure" can fit different contexts. One of the strengths of the English languages is its multiplicity of ways to say the same thing.
Ah, the turn signal. It is abstruse (is that an actual word?). The concept is nebulous. Don't worry about it. You probably won't come across it in any civilized milieu.
It's really tough to walk a dog when you're having patellar problems. You have to give him credit for creativity.
Yes, we give Pat lots of credit for creativity, and also for Total Recall. 30 seconds to memorize the 50-flavors-of-jellybeans label!
Anoreth plans to teach him to play blackjack and take him to Vegas when he's 18. My mom's friend's son did that with his autistic-savant son, and made enough money (before they kicked him out of the casino) to take his son on a very nice vacation.
You are a reliable and constant inspiration to the rest of us xoxo!
The beauty of capitalism. I hope Anoreth has a fast car.
Card-counting is just fine, until they catch you at it and throw you out. As long as you don't come back, you've made it.
Anoreth got her tires rotated and balanced today, while we were at the garden ... dropped it off at the Goodyear on the way and picked it up on the way back.
So how many children will you be expected to donate?
They could have half, if they put our name in large type on the donor-roll monument!
Ah! Solomonic in its simplicity and wisdom.
Uh oh. I was pretty careful, so I suppose I can't donate a heck of lot.
I can donate a poem to the "children's garden".
Children Are Flowers
Children are flowers.
That you didnt know?
Why else would the dirt be,
A place that they grow?
They glory in showers,
Of rain that may fall,
And wave in the breezes,
That Spring brings to call.
Their laughter and smiling,
Are perfumes of mind.
Yes, children are flowers,
My favorite kind.
NicknamedBob . . . . . May 4, 2008,/blockquote>
Did you hear the gears grind?
I missed a shift.
Here's my poetry contribution:
Roses are grey
Violets are grey
I'm a dog
At least I þink it should.
I thought you were grinding hamburger...
"You are *so* my sort of person!"
I'm not alone...
Good poem, nully! I'll tell it to the Cub Scouts when I go back to camp later.
I brought Anoreth, Frank, and Kathleen home after lunch, and will leave the first two here when I go back with Kathleen for supper and "graduation" of the various Cub Scouts to their next level. Anoreth taught James to shoot, and he hit the target every time. She said she can teach a rock to shoot, and this is certainly evidence ;-).
Frank had a bath, and now he's watching a show. I'm thinking of running over to Walmart for more diapers, since Kathleen is asleep.
I'd left Bill with a list of household tasks to complete, while he was here alone with Ash, and the only one done, after six hours, was walking Ash. At least he says he did, and she wasn't leaping, so it's probably true. Sigh. Now it's going to be much harder to get everything done, because several of us are at home.
No. In post 1717, I missed pushing the shift key, and ended up posting the tag of my html coding.
You blame Darksheare for these lapses, but I blame my finaglers.
I so wish I could sleep like that....
Me, too. Kittehs have the perfect life.
God bless Anoreth and God bless you!
Thanks! We survived the day out, although Kathleen howled all the way home. Less than half an hour, fortunately. I brought some dirty laundry home, too, in addition to what the people who came back wore all day, so I hope to stay awake long enough to get the next load in the washer.
Someone showed me a picture emailed from the Boy Scouts' campout. Tom is about 18" taller than the other boys who were there. "What is that? Four Boy Scouts and Sasquatch?"
Holycow! When I was a young mom, I read a study that concluded that babies who howl develop many more convolutions in their brains as opposed to those who don't (i.e., the "good" babies.)
We have another genius tax-chicklette on our hands. Yahoo!
Power to the howlers!
Dying here!
1 see you next time aroumd`
Wow! You were up late.
I spent the afternoon and evening with a neighbor whose mother has Alzheimer's. We bonded. She even tried to talk to me, which made her son happy. She held my hand and leaned against me for most of the evening.
I was wasted when I got home.
It can't be a prey, so it must be a friend!
How are you today?
Exhausted from loving the old woman. She'll never know, and when her son asks me to visit again, I will.
Otherwise, I'm good.
Yep, just like I said: You're a gift!
My new desktop background—thank you!
Does the spelling of perspicacity look funny to you or is it just the old brain playing tricks?
It's fine.
The word I have trouble with is "weird".
No matter how I spell it, it looks weird.
Silly girl! But thanks!
Did you ever find the slow cooker bags?
That IS weird.
No, but that's OK because we're doing mostly stir fries now.
Perspicacious looks OK to me. So does circumlocutory. But perspicacity—disturbing. Let's talk about something easy to fix like the economy.
Perspicacious looks OK to me. So does circumlocutory. But perspicacity—disturbing. Let's talk about something easy to fix like the economy.
She will know, ultimately, and want to meet you again in the resurrection to thank you. All our loving actions will adorn us like the pretty spring dresses of the senior southern belles at the garden party on Friday. (Kathleen smiled at all the colorful patterns ;-).
And "perspicacity" always looks funny, no matter how you spell it. It was the correct answer on the "SAT Question of the Day" Friday.
Hiccups. Please excuse.
Today's correct answer is "neither of whom was." I like computer-assisted learning. Now to figure out what to do with commas.
I feel extremely pleased with myself when I'm one of the 37% of 243,289 respondents who got an answer right!
Correct commalizing is counterintuitive: if it's done right, it appears that you've used either too few or too many, while the number that "feels right" usually isn't.

Steak Paradise 3 Travel Guide
Steak lovers here at St. Elmo Steak House in Indianapolis can prime their engines with the house specialty, a super-sized 28-oz. porterhouse.
It was only when Joe Stahr, St. Elmo's original owner, had to make ends meet during Prohibition that meat became the main attraction at the steakhouse.
The legend of this dry-aged, perfectly charred chunk of meat grew so big that Smith and Wollensky in New York City finally added it to the official menu.
Smith and Wollensky serves all the classic cuts -- including a hugely popular filet mignon and a gigantic porterhouse that's big enough for two.
Like every steak on Smith and Wollensky's menu, preparing the Colorado rib eye starts with dry-aging their prime Angus beef.
If you're not in the mood for prime rib, try the signature beef tacos at Meat and Potatoes in Pittsburgh.
After each steak takes its turn in the broiler, Doe's Eat Place in Greenville, MS, tops it off with the juices collected from the succulent steaks during the cooking process.
During Prohibition, Doe's Eat Place's founder, Dominick "Big Doe"Signa, converted the front of his grocery store into a honky-tonk for local African-Americans. But the speakeasy soon became known for its steaks, not its swill.
The signature dish at Vesta Dipping Grill in Denver is a surf and turf combo like you've never seen: 3 pepper grilled flat iron steak with manila clams!
Sparks Steak House has only grown more popular with time, now boasting several private party rooms, a wine list that has been awarded Wine Spectator magazine's Grand Award 23 years in a row, and a diverse menu that features some of the New York City's best seafood.
Both steaks are prepared the same way, but it's the prime sirloin that's truly a cut above the competition.
Although the steak may be the star of the show at Sparks, the side dishes are just as delicious.
Each slab of prime rib at Farmer Browns in Waterloo, NE, is slow roasted for 3 hours, ensuring every cut will be melt-in-your-mouth tender.
Farmer Browns also offers up a delicious chicken fried steak.
The garlic-roasted filet at The Rex in Billings, MT, is topped with a decadent cognac dijon mustard sauce, while the bacon-wrapped filet gets bleu cheese crumbles, a scrumptious slathering of rosemary demi-glaze and onion crisps.

Bought this for a friend. Only gave it 1 star because it had no effect on her. She was taking it for halitosis. I guess if your problem is serious this would be too mild for it to work. Good for folks with sensitive stomach i believe.

The price at iHerb is way more expensive than from other places ($18 difference). This is not a customer orientated practice as iHerb always claims. This product may not work for some people. Two of my friends got very sick after taking it. I now take Healthforce probiotics and they are much less expensive and works well for me.

Skip to comments.Pic of President Obama on Drudge looks like Malcolm X to me.

At the very least, Malcolm Little certainly knew the meaning of "aardvark", presuming the depiction in the film with Denzel Washington was correct. :-)
He spent at least 15 years as a hardcore crackhead.
He now suddenly has fame and is being offered lots of money and will be the toast of the town for the next few months.
But he has no one to keep him tethered to reality (his mother is 90, infirm, and, in their filmed reunion, very standoffish as long-suffering mothers of addicts tend to be).
In a year's time he will be making money but the heady rush of fame will be gone. He will be looking for another heady rush, most likely.
I am not seeing &#(@. The man tried to darken himself up for the photo, and about a third of it wiped off somehow.
I think tonight's Cotton Bowl should be a great game. The Aggies aren't too shabby this year, so we'll see.
Obama's pigment chickens are coming home to roost bttt
Dear Lord, this was really all planned, wasn't it?
gagging LOL
I still think Obama does not look like his Legal Father /Obama Sr
He looks like Malcom-X .(Malcolm-X daughter Qubilah Shabazz & Obama
look a lot alike..Also Malia looks like Shabazz) either Stanley Ann was
impregnated by Malcom-X or she adopted
Malcom-X child ..Obama Sr may have just been a patsy . Remember
the Dunhams were active members of CPUSA .. Stanley Armour Dunham was photographed with Obama Sr arriving in Hawaii before Stanley Ann met him at College.
Stanley Armour Dunham was very involved with "CPUSA". He was in some type of corruption deal with Standard Oil (I believe) & he owed allegiance to the CPUSA for bailing him out.
In 1960 at the Theresa Hotel completely unknown Kenyan student gain elbow-rubbing proximity to the then-notorious Malcolm X.
Also at the Theresa Hotel was the poet and playwright Langston Hughes, a close friend of Frank Marshall Davis, as well as Charles Rangel who was working his way through law school as a desk clerk.
It must also be mentioned that during the General Assembly meeting in September 1960, Nikita Khruschev traveled from midtown Manhattan up to Harlem to the Theresa Hotel to meet with Fidel Castro.
What were Malcolm X, Fidel Castro, and Nikita Khrushchev talking to each other about? And where does Barack Obama (Sr.) fit in?
Was he being recruited and groomed to be the father or father in name only of Barack Obama II, in furtherance of a grand conspiracy to overthrow the U.S. government?
1959, Khrushchev expanded on his previous statement: We cannot expect the Americans to jump from Capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans small doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find they have Communism.
Was this odd but powerful assemblage at the Theresa Hotel planning to bury the United States by orchestrating yet an even more spectacular coup détat this time of America itself?
Not by a bloody revolution of the Castro variety, but rather by stealth an operation carried out by leftist moles and sympathizers with the goal of overthrowing and taking the reins of the United States government?
Is there any connection between Malcolm X and Obama Sr.? In 1959 Malcolm X traveled to the Middle East and Africa , including Kenya, and is reported to have met with Jomo Kenyatta, future Prime Minister and later President of Kenya, as well as with a prominent Kenyan politician named Tom Mboya (who Obama Sr. called his godfather). Mboya was a close friend of Barack Obama Sr.s family, so its no mystery that Barack Obama Sr. was selected to give his name to Malcolm Xs son.
We have no idea if Stanley Ann gave birth to Barack Obama or was just the woman chosen to raise him by the grand conspirators who plotted his rise to power from as far back as the 1950s, before his birth!
This may seem far fetched but; everything about Obama is far fetched because we know nothing about him.
Possibly through her Kenyan husband who was active in the
African-American issues?
Malcolm X was "friends" with Stanley Dunham? Malcolm X wasn't too crazy about white people, especially white women. In fact when an excited white liberal woman came up to him, asking what she could do to "help his cause", he said "Nothing!".
The person on left has straight hair...very unlikely from a negroid ancestry.
Ann Dunham was born in 1942....Malcolm X was still around in the 1960's before he was assassinated. So the connection is not implausible.
Did that incident really happen or was it just some dramatic license from the 1992 Spike Lee film? I've read the Alex Haley book and don't recall it being mentioned in "The Autobiography of Malcolm X".
AND... were he able to keep quiet, I can't believe the likes of Oprah Winfrey could -- it's just too juicy.
Ha! I had the same thought: how could he help but have trumpeted it for years years ago?
Got sidetracked, and now back online for a minute.
To All: Check out the amazing numbers of photos scattered throughout this thread. Thanks, hennie pennie.
It's not a plot hatched in the sixties, it simply started out as a means to keep an affair conducted in the middle east by MX a secret and protect the child. Before he returned from his last trip to Egypt shortly before he was assassinated in the US, MX wrote that he expected to be killed - not in the US - but in the middle east. There's a LOT you don't know about MX. He made his first trip to egypt-africa in 1959.
And no, I am NOT suggesting Maya was the mother. She wasn't working in Cairo for 'The Arab Voice' until 1960:
"...In New York City, she later married South African freedom fighter and civil rights advocate Vusumzi Make in 1960. They moved to Cairo, Egypt, where she became editor of the weekly newspaper, The Arab Observer, and Guy began elementary school. Maya Angelou continually took writing and teaching positions as she and Guy adjusted to African lifestyles. She and her son left Egypt for Ghana as her second marriage was coming to an end in 1963..."
MAYA KNOWS! And if Maya knows, so does Oprah. And neither of them are telling.
I've always thought he looked like a hybrid of Malcom X with a smattering of his grandfather Dunham mixed in. I see no resemblance to Frank Marshall Davis nor Barak Sr.
Obama mentions Jimi Hendrix????????
I hate to rain on the parade, but is there any record of Malcolm X being in or around Seattle or Hawaii about the time little O would have been conceived (late 1960)? I believe Malcolm was based in New York at the time.
Yes, I read something that connected Stanley Ann and MX being in the same place at the same time around the "right" time. Can't remember the particulars, but Fred may.
I just got in, but will look for the info.
It is in the book. In fact, Malcolm X regretted saying it, and was "evolving" on his views of whites after he took a Hajj and met "good" Muslims who were blond haired and blue eyed. He discovered that Elijah Mohammed was a fraud who was sleeping with anything he could get his paws on, and wasn't living the life of a "true" Muslim. I think this is why he was assassinatd, in fact, because he wasn't useful to the Black Muslim movement anymore, and indeed was a threat to expose the hypocrisy.
Listen to Cashill's interview...he says Hendrix is one of 3 possible candidates as the baby-daddy. His opinion is that Malcom X is not possible.
His new book "Deconstructing Obama' is out on Feb. 15th.
Surreal, to suggest that it's ridiculous for a POTUS to be the son of two US citizens.
(I get your point, no clarification needed.)
These days, it feels like we're chasing the White Rabbit.
Well, since we can't be POSITIVE that Obama was conceived, since we don't know EXACTLY when he was born...
That being said, Malcolm X WAS in Seattle in 1961 for the beginning of the World's Fair. Apparently he and MLK spoke at the Seattle Center in mid 1961.
Wow, thanks for the heads up, I'll have to read his new book, this is just fascinating. But I must say that the idea of Jimi Hendrix as the birth father of the President of the United States is alarming, LOL
Doesn't Bailey have a chin remarkably similar to BHO's chin?
Just like Strom Thurmond wasn't too crazy about black people.
Except for his mistress and her child.
"I think the Malcolm theory may be a pretty good one, but Ive only seen them possibly placed in the same city here and there. Any claim as to friendship or even proof that they knew each other would be very interesting indeed."
Well obama's mama was said to be a real tramp...
Dissectleft posts alleged nude photos of Barack Obamas mother"
Why would Malcolm X do this?
" Fredrick shows a trail of money that came from some very close friends of Malcolm X to help Obama pay for his education.
Don also claimed that Obama's mother lived in an area of Seattle during the same time that Malcolm X had a Mosque there and that she was always attracted to black Muslim men. The more radical and anti-American, the better."
Is Obama the secret son of Malcolm X?
Who knows he won't prove who he is but he sure does look like him. Even The Washington Post Cannot Tell Obama apart from Malcolm X :)
You know Malcolm X was a buddy of Odinga who is also a relative of obama so it's quite possible they knew each other.
Malcolm X, Barack Obama and Oginga Odinga
Wow, thanks for the heads up, Ill have to read his new book, this is just fascinating. But I must say that the idea of Jimi Hendrix as the birth father of the President of the United States is alarming, LOL
It's just a theory. I believe Cashill is leaning towards Frank Marshall Davis as the biological father because of too many coincidences: 1) the nude photos of Ann that he had taken, 2) a book FMD wrote that has references to him having 3-somes with a young (13 year old) white girl named Anna, 3) the fact that Barry was sent back to Hawaii and was "mentored" by FMD, 4)who paid for all the universities that Barry attended? FMD had financial means to do so. 5) Lastly, why did Barry arrive in Chicago? That is where FMD had strong ties.
The Davis theory also makes him a likely incest victim.
Even the teeth are the same.
It's the Hindu monkey god.
Obama carries a small one in his pocket.
Wow, thanks for the heads up, Ill have to read his new book, this is just fascinating. But I must say that the idea of Jimi Hendrix as the birth father of the President of the United States is alarming, LOL
How many blacks back in the 60's attended Jimi's concerts or bought his records? I would say his larger audience was white youth.
Here's a tribute to his son's choice of VP!
Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe [Live]
There's also that mention in "Dreams" (page 123) of Stanley Ann's summer spent working as an au pair in Chicago in 1960.
Chicago was X's HQ.
He doesn't even look like Malcolm IX.
Yeah, but Malcom X was strongly racist against white people. Why would he have sex with an imprudent young white girl?
The Saudis wouldn't have just willy nilly pick some half breed off the street and financed his way to fame and fortune like some act of charity or pet project. They had to have had a good reason. That would end the NBC question but otoh brings up a boatload more that some in DC might not want asked. Still, why bring in Sr. back in the beginning if it was X. Makes no sense.
YOu ar enot raining on our parade. This Malcom X issue is a head fake from Obama trools to get people to think O would be embarrased for people to know Malcom was is dad.
It is a load of crap.
Yes, thought so when I saw it.
For the same reason that senator and former Presidential candidate Strom Thurmond, who was strongly racist against black people, had an affair with his family's black maid, Carrie Butler, and sired a daughter with her?
For the same reason that senator and former Presidential candidate Strom Thurmond, who was strongly racist against black people, had an affair with his familys black maid, Carrie Butler, and sired a daughter with her?
So are you saying that Stanley Ann was Malcolm X's maid? Strom was in a position of power as the employer and perhaps also developed a personal relationship with her over time (sorry, I do not know the facts of that case). What would draw Stanley Ann and Malcom X together?
I've wondered about the necklace and what looks like a ring on his left ring finger (or is it a dirty spot?). Is it the two elephants ring that went to the repair shop which was thought to be a wedding ring but isn't.

Where Can Drones Fly? Legal Limits Are Up In the Air
It's getting easier for the average civilian to own drones.
The word may bring to mind million-dollar jets that carry bombs, but a drone is any aircraft that doesn't have passengers or a pilot onboard. Some look like sophisticated remote-control helicopters and model airplanes.
They're available online and in stores, some for less than $100. But whether and where owners are allowed to fly those drones falls in a legal gray area.
In an open field at Bergen Community College in New Jersey, students fly drones they built in class. One model looks like a beach-ball-sized spider. It has six arms with blades on each and can shoot hundreds of feet into the air within a second.
Mechanical Baby Birds
Students have mounted a camera to the drone and programmed it to take pictures every few seconds. They're using the drone to create a 3-D map of the campus.
"It's like our baby," says Mariia Alibekova. "Like a little baby bird flying in the sky. I feel like a bird mama."
More On Drones And Law
Students can park their "bird" in the sky, leave it hovering and then make it come back home on its own.
FAA regulations say drones shouldn't be flown above 400 feet. Higher than that, drones start to interfere with the national airspace.
They can't be flown within a few miles of an airport, and they can be used only for fun — not for commercial purposes.
NYPD spokesperson Brendan Ryan says individuals could potentially be charged with reckless endangerment in New York City if, for example, an individual with a camera flies a drone into a stadium.
But an FAA spokesman also says big, congested cities like New York are completely off-limits to drones. Unmanned aircraft are not authorized to fly in what it calls Class B airspace.
New Yorkers don't seem to know that, and some lawyers say small unmanned aircraft should not be treated like larger models.
The Wild West Of Drones
Bill Dickey manages Pilotage Fun and Hobby in Manhattan, a store that sells drones. He says unmanned aircraft are flying all over the city.
Dickey says slate workers send them drones over buildings to take pictures of their work.
"It's been a great thing for my business," Dickey says. "I think the drone industry is the industry for our era."
The FAA fined one resident more than $2,000 for flying a small drone off a building in Manhattan, after it bumped into other buildings and landed on a public sidewalk.
Peter Kalaitzidis, an Air Force veteran who owns drones, says they need to be taken more seriously.
"Everyone is doing these high, elevated shots, and they're failing," Kalaitzidis says. "You can go on YouTube and see epic crashes all day, every day."
That's why lawmakers are calling for more regulations. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., called New York City the "Wild West of drones" and said the devices threaten citizens' privacy.
The FAA is expected to issue more regulations in the fall. But Manhattan lawyer Brendan Schulman says existing laws already protect against the types of illegal acts someone might commit with a drone.
"You have trespass laws, anti-stalking laws, peeping Tom laws, unlawful surveillance," Schulman says. "Those would apply to the use of any technology."
Schulman says those who worry about drones invading their privacy overlook the good they can do. Cameras on drones have found missing children and stranded hikers.
"These are real technologies that are going to save lives and help people," he says.
Bergen Community College professor Steve Cohen says drones are becoming a part of everyday activities. Perhaps the best indicator, he says, is a new trend: Instead of "selfies," drone owners are now taking "dronies" — a selfie with their drones.
"Yes, taking dronies with your bronies!" he says, laughing.
"That's going to be a thing," says student Joan Madera. "It's going to have a hashtag."

Grand Canyon Helicopter Trips Over The Winter Season
Out here in the Southwest, winter is in full effect. Thus if you plan to take a Grand Canyon helicopter tour anytime soon, make sure you bundle up. For the most part, days are clear and crisp, but at times it can be downright cold.
"Cold" is a relative term. During the day over here in Nevada and Arizona, you can expect high temps during the day to reach into the 60's. Sometimes it freezes at dawn, but it's more the exception than the rule.
Having said that, I urge you not to drop your guard. If you are headed over to the South Rim from Las Vegas, do yourself a favor and don't come in shorts and sandals. I've seen people arrive like that and all it's going to do is cut into the "enjoyablity" of your trip.
My recommendation is to give the 10-day weather forecast a good read and be conservative when it comes to predicting cold weather. Even though helicopters can maintain a nice, toasty in-cabin temperature, I still say be prepared.
Just how prepared you are will be based on the rim that you visit. The West Rim, for example, is warmer than the South Rim (elevation 7,000 feet). In fact, expect the weather at the West Rim to be a lot like that you'd find in Las Vegas, except possibly a little colder and windier.
Bottom line is pack for comfort. In my case, I like to dress using layers. That means a t-shirt, a sweater and a light or middleweight jacket depending on the rim I'm going to visit that day. I'm also bringing gloves, a hat, sunglasses and lip balm. If I'm feeling functionally stylish, the scarf is coming with me.
I touched on sandals earlier in the article. You might barely be able to use them in Vegas, but it's just not a good idea when visiting the canyon. You'll begin to notice that it was a bad idea when you walk
from check-in to your helicopter. Things become really apparent for those taking a tour that lands at either the top or bottom of the canyon -- that's when you wish you had some socks. The actual moment, however, comes when you land and exit the aircraft, which will be either the bottom or top of the West Rim.
Please be aware that helicopters from Las Vegas don't fly to the South Rim. It's just too far. Thus you have two options: Bus or airplane. On average, it takes the bus 5 1/2 hours to reach the South Rim. The airplane takes all of 60 minutes. I think you can probably tell which option I'm going with (the airplane).
Now, like helicopters, airplanes are climate controlled, too. Not quite comparable to what you get in a helicopter but comfortable all the same. It's when you deplane at Tusayan, home of Grand Canyon National Park Airport, that you suck it up and enter a climate that's nothing like Vegas'. And it's here where I recommend you consider taking a nice, tidy pair of pull-on ice cleats, as there might be ice at some of the key lookout points.
Incidentally, I was checking out the Mather Point lookout at South Rim last year. Ice was on the steps to the lookout and on the lookout itself. The Park Service staff did there best to prevent slipping by throwing salt on the ice. All the same, I had my pull-on ice cleats with me and was very happy that I packed them because I had total piece of mind walking over that stuff. In fact, I was like walking about on a calm summer day without a care in the world. Not my greatest analogy but I hope you'll cut me some slack.
I hope I gave you an idea of what to anticipate when taking a helicopter tour to the Grand Canyon. Please remember that the West Rim is much different than the South. The former is cold and windier (bring a windbreaker) and the later is much cooler and there's always a possibility that there could be some snow on the ground. In regards to flying on a helicopter, that's a great choice. These aircraft are an excellent way to get into the heart of the canyon, and I'm confident you'll feel as enthusiastic about them as I do once you are back on terra firma.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Masked Men In Columbus & LA
by Paul on 10/31/07 at 11:21 AM ET
Comments (0)
from E.J. Hradek at ESPN,
Halloween is a time for masks, right?
That being the case, I guess I should talk about the two masked men who'll likely face one another Wednesday night in Hollywood.
Those two goaltenders are the Kings' Jason LaBarbera and the Blue Jackets' Pascal Leclaire. The Kings bring a four-game winning streak into their meeting with the Jackets, who are on their own three-game roll.
I'll start with the 24-year-old Leclaire, who might be living up to the billing that led the Jackets to select him with the eighth overall pick in the 2001 draft.

"I talk for my living & I write for my soul; I learn by listening & I lead by example."
- Nancy Redd
A 2016 GLAAD Award nominee for her on-air hosting, a New York Times & USA Today bestselling author and an NAACP Image Award nominee for her non-fiction writing, as well as a Mom's Choice Award winner and a winner of a National Parenting Publications Award it's easy to see why New York Family magazine recently dubbed Nancy a "Redd Hot Mama."
Nancy can currently be seen on the new FOX syndicated daily talk show "So-Me TV." Previously she was one of the founding hosts at digital streaming network HuffPost Live, hosting thousands of hours of internet conversations with an eclectic range of celebrities ranging from Dr. Oz to Sharon Osbourne to the Secretary of Health to Steve Harvey.
Two weeks after graduating from Harvard with an honors degree in Women's Studies, Nancy won the title of Miss Virginia, going on to compete in the Miss America Pageant where she won the swimsuit competition and made the top 10 at Miss America.
A millennial mother of a 2-year-old girl, Baby Nancy, and a 5-year-old boy, August, Nancy is married to her college sweetheart, actor Rupak Ginn (Royal Pains) and is a sought after thought leader who utilizes her numerous ups-and- downs (both literally and figuratively) to effectively champion body acceptance for women of all shapes, sizes, and life stages.
Other honors include being named L'OREAL's Beauty of Giving Young Woman of the Year, one of GLAMOUR magazine's Top 10 College Women and one of HARVARD Magazine's Top Six Seniors. Nancy also served as the spokeswoman for Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends & Influence People For Teen Girls (Touchstone) and helped to write The Girls' Guide to the SAT (Princeton Review). Nancy also once appeared on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?with Regis Philbin and won $250,000.
Originally hailing from southern Virginia, Nancy currently is working on her third book on pregnancy (on a related note, she ate her placenta and lived to write about it for The New York Times in a piece virally heralded as the 'NYT Headline of the Century.") Also, if you're a fan of Nancy's first book "BODY DRAMA" and are wondering about how she was able to coordinate the photography for her 'centerfold of vulvas,' click here for the inside scoop.

Chamber of Commerce
NPR reports on the incipient movement among a dozen states considering raising gas taxes. It centers on New Jersey which arguably illustrates best the need to raise gas taxes to maintain roads and bridges, but it won't be easy, as the interviews show
That's how USA Today reporter John Bacon concluded his video on the Seattle City Council's historic vote to increase the city minimum wage to $15/hour in 3-7 years depending on the business. The outcome was never in doubt due to prior deliberations.
USA Today
A new plan up for approval today in Fairfax County, Virginia to turn the suburban office park of Tysons Corner into an urban village is a good idea gone bad, according to the chairman of the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce.

I don't understand why apple wants to team up with hp. It's a good idea to put itunes on each hp computer, but not to let them use the ipod design.

as long as they didnt make the iPod even whiter, this is good news for me.

not a big fan of the color, but hopefully they'll be cheaper than apple's ipod, so that's good news.
Posted by dave on January 9, 2004 at 3:49 PM (CST)
They're not "letting HP use the iPod design." They're building and branding iPods for HP. BIG difference.
Posted by Chris on January 9, 2004 at 3:49 PM (CST)
HP is just a distribution channel for Apple. This is great because there are so many Wintel users who would never consider buying an Apple product, but now they'll buy one and not know it until they turn it on and see the Apple logo on the screen.

Since it has the HP logo on the back and not the Apple logo I would imagine that it would also display the HP logo on the iPod itself.
Posted by Jon on January 9, 2004 at 3:57 PM (CST)
V: It does have an HP logo on the back, but…
"Apple will manufacture the player, which will not have the iPod name, but will have the same design and features as Apple's third-generation iPod players," Phil Schiller, senior vice president at Apple, said in an interview. "Also, the HP music player will come in 'HP Blue,'" he said,"
"The way we look at it, HP will be reselling an iPod device," said Schiller, who noted that the device will display the Apple logo at start-up and will work with all of the accessories made for the white-hued Apple varieties.

I'm confused. My head hurts. I just don't get it.
I mean, I get it. But I just don't get it.

How is this "...good for consumers?" That's an awfully general argument…
I'm racking my brain, but I can't recall ever hearing of something like this. Since when does a company dress it's product up in another company's clothes?
Ever buy a Toyota with a Honda logo on it? Ever buy a Pepsi with Coca-Cola written on it? I can't figure this one out for the life of me.
Posted by Nicholas Howard on January 9, 2004 at 4:39 PM (CST)
Why do people find it necessary to have to 'figure it out'?
The big news here is that new HP computers will have iTunes pre-installed which means QuickTime will be pre-installed which means Bill Gates won't be too happy about it since he is trying to make WMA the industry 'standard' which means it's a good thing for everyone but MS.
Posted by The Raven on January 9, 2004 at 4:50 PM (CST)
"Since when does a company dress it's product up in another company's clothes?"
Every division of Ford, General Motors, and Daimler Chrysler does that. So do the Japanese manufacturers: Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infiniti, Honda/Acura. In the computing business, Dell has already done it with their Digital Jukebox. It's just a re-branded Creative MP3 player. Consumer electronics is another example. Sony plasma TVs are actually made by Toshiba and Hitachi - right along side their own offerings.
And then there's re-branded food, re-branded gasoline, re-branded clothing (Gap and Old Navy)... you name it. I think they call it "synergy" or some such nonesense.
Posted by Atomic Bomb on January 9, 2004 at 5:00 PM (CST)
I like the color, but I prefer white.
You see a lot of companies doing this, actually—just usually with smaller products. It's a fact that "Safeway" batteries are made by Duracell—they're exactly the same thing. Energizer makes generic batteries, also. It's just marketing.
Computers and other electronics are marketed like this all the time. Basically a group of companies pay a manufacturer for its un-branded product, and then the companies take the product from there and brand it in a different way, and then each of the companies sells it for a different price. It's ingenious, really.
I think Atomic said it well. A lot of windows people wouldn't be caught dead buying Apple's products—simply because they are Apple's products. Also, this makes iPods all the more available. Production will be upped, and many more stores will start selling them. We may even see iPods in stores such as Fred Meyer (they've got Rio products…).
I think this is great news for the iPod.

Lakewood College Provides Quality Online Education to Students
The average college student has changed drastically from the eager high school graduate to the older adult looking for a career change, or to the single parent looking to create a better future for their family. Now the average student has many more obligations and is limited on time. Traditional campuses make it hard for students to attend classes that fit in with their busy schedule.
Lakewood College makes it easy for students to earn a degree, diploma or certificate without ever having to step foot into a traditional classroom. They offer programs in the fast growing medical, legal or business fields with excellent job opportunities after graduation.
Programs are designed with the "new student" in mind. Lakewood College understands that their students have responsibilities for today and dreams for tomorrow. Students are provided flexibility through self-paced courses and constant faculty and staff support. Students can study in the comfort of their own home, on their own time, and get to choose their weekly assignment due date.
Students are also assigned a Success Coach. Success Coaches contact students on a regular basis to offer resources or additional help regarding time management techniques, study tips, and goal setting. Success Coaches also encourage students to stay focused in their course so they can reach their goal of graduation.
What sets Lakewood College apart from traditional colleges and universities is their rolling enrollment schedule. Students are able to apply all year around and start their program at their convenience. This benefit has provided students the opportunity to earn their college education no matter what stage they are at in their lives.

on Dec. 23, 2013 :
A fine compendium of precise reviews for an enormous variety of films. Wondering if that film you've vaguely heard of might be worth viewing or if that classic stays fresh after decades? Check Billson's guide to get a sense of whether it's worth your time. Just beware, you may end up spending your time reading instead. Succinct, amusing but most of all, informative.

Although smaller than expected, it was a very nice appartement! Everything was in good condition, the location in the old Center of Lisbon is really good. And Luis was very kind and gave as a lot of useful information to explore the City.
We enjoyed our stay here in this nice neighborhood. The appartment seems to be new in use and is equipped well and very spaceous. We experienced some difficulty with electricity in the house, but all in all it was a good place to stay.
Nice and beautifull appartment in the centre of Lissabon. The room is clean and comfortable. The hostes Christiane is very kind, speaks english and likes to inform you about the city. We have enjoyd it.
We loved our stay here!!! Perfect location- short walk to Rossio and Martim Moniz. We walked everywhere: convento do carmel, feira do ladra, panteao and the castello. Great restaurants around- Brazilian on Calcada santana and tasco pimbolina.
So coY and kept cool for sleeping.
Celeste was so helful and friendly. We loved her!
Only thing is the bed is a bit hard but that is it.
Beautiful apartment, well located and comfortable. We had some problems on our way to Lisbon so we arrived late, but they helped us with everything and were really comprehensive.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
The apartment is very cosy and beautiful. It is identical to the fotos. Cristóvão is a very friendly person. He gave us some tips what you have to see in Lisbon. He also explain us how to get to different points of the city. Alfama is a very nice and calm part of the city, so that you can sleep very good. Across from the apartment is a public WC. The woman who works there is very friendly, but talks any time ;-) There weren`t so many people who use the public WC, so that the street ist very quiet. You have a wonderful view, when you left the Apartment. We love Alfama and we would like to go there again. Thank you very much Cristóvão.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.

We also enjoyed this recipe. Cubed a couple of potatoes and added to the other ingredients. Would definately make again.
I have been looking for a slow cooker corn chowder recipe that is easy to prepare and tasty, and this one definitely fits the bill. Assembly of the ingredients only took a couple of minutes and the taste was excellent. The only thing I added was a tablespoon of chicken bouillon granules for a little more zing, but that is just a personal preference thing, it was great without that addition.
Similar to others who have posted reviews, I found this to be super quick, super easy, and really good. For those who follow weight watchers plan - this works out to 5 pts per serving
This was great. I used a can of corn nuggets as I didn't have any frozen corn and also used jerk seasoning instead of cajun. Very good and so easy!
This recipe is just okay. I made it using regular potato that I shredded (and used twice what was called for), but the potato just got lost. Next time, I would cube. My husband wouldn't eat any of it (said "yup, tastes like corn") so we threw his out. I did have boneless skinless chicken thigh in place of the ham, but don't think that would've made that much of a difference.
Tonight was my first time to taste, much less cook, corn chowder. I was always kind of put off by the idea in the past, but this was really good. I did have to add a little corn starch/water mixture at the end to thicken it a little. Next time, I think I'm just going to double the hashbrowns. Anyway, it was yummy. The kids were kind of so-so with it, which surprised me. Of course, they're both sick right now, so I'm thinking I may wait a week or so and give it another try. VERY yummy, though, and the perfect choice for our cold and rainy night!
I loved this chowder! I doubled the amount of frozen hashbrowns, and at the table topped my bowl with shredded cheddar cheese. A hot bowl of chowder in the winter.... it's a wonderful thing.
I have never made corn chowder before, but I put this together this morning before I left for work, and when I came home the whole house smelt so good. Thanks for this quick, easy, and tasty meal. We really enjoyed it.
NurseDi - this was soooo good! It was very easy to make, partially because I had all the ingredients on hand (for once). My family really enjoyed it. I will probably try substituting chicken for the ham next time since we always have chicken leftovers.
Corn chowder is a favorite of mine. Making it in the crockpot attracted me to this recipe. It had an all-around good flavor and I was a little heavy handed with the cajun spice for my family's taste. Easy to prepare and enjoyed by me and my family. That makes it a winner.

Highlights of a Forum:
Transforming Transportation Policy for the 21st Century
GAO-07-1210SP: Published: Sep 19, 2007. Publicly Released: Sep 19, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The nation's economic vitality and the quality of life of its citizens depend significantly on the security, availability, and dependability of its transportation network. The nation's transportation network presents particularly complex policy challenges, because it encompasses many modes on systems owned, funded, and operated by both the public and the private sectors. As the August collapse of a bridge span in Minneapolis illustrated, policymakers currently face the challenge of maintaining the safety and condition of the transportation network--in a time of increasing fiscal constraint. Addressing these challenges requires a fundamental reexamination and transformation of the nation's transportation policies and programs. This forum brought together government, academic, and transportation industry experts, along with GAO's own transportation specialists. The discussion addressed (1) the appropriate goals for the nation's transportation policy, (2) the role of the federal government in achieving transportation goals, (3) how transportation goals might be financed, and (4) next steps in transforming transportation policy for the 21st century. These highlights do not necessarily represent the views of any one participant or the organizations that these participants represent, including GAO.
Participants said that the nation's transportation policy has lost focus and that the nation's overall transportation goals need to be better defined and linked to performance measures that evaluate what the respective policies and programs actually accomplish. They noted that as the federal share of total transportation spending continues to decline, it has become increasingly important that federal transportation policy goals and their link to local decision making and spending be well defined. Further, according to participants, measured outcomes, or performance results, should be used to drive federal transportation policy and funding decisions. Participants indicated that enhancing mobility and maintaining global competitiveness are the most important goals for the nation's transportation policy. Participants said that the federal government's role should focus on the policy side of transportation--establishing policy, providing guidance for executing policy, and supporting local and regional investments that correspond with federal policy goals. Additionally, the federal government has an important role to play in the movement of goods because of the impact on the national and global economies. They noted ways that the federal government could encourage transportation decisions that are consistent with national transportation goals by, for example, developing and using incentives and strengthening the user-pay principle. Participants generally agreed that there is a need to address transportation funding immediately, and no single mechanism will solve the existing and future funding crisis facing the nation's transportation system. Potential approaches identified by participants include levying new taxes, implementing tolls, and utilizing congestion pricing strategies. However, participants acknowledged potential drawbacks to several of the funding mechanisms that were identified, such as a lack of public support for tolling and equity concerns with certain pricing mechanisms. There was broad consensus among participants on the need for a transformation of our current approach to transportation policy to better meet current and future mobility needs in a strategic, integrated, and sustainable manner. For a successful transformation, participants said it is necessary to develop a constituency that will push for and support change. Participants said that there is a need to educate and influence both political leaders and the broader public because transportation is not currently perceived as a significant national problem. The public and private sectors need to better understand the magnitude and consequences of these transportation challenges to be motivated to change the status quo. Additionally, participants stated that local transportation initiatives underway may offer lessons on how to build the consensus needed to address today's transportation challenges.

Clerk asks about election riggingJanuary 24,2014BENNINGTON — The rural fire department clerk in Bennington is asking the state to look into the possibility of election rigging as voters prepare to pick fire chiefs and other officials.
Bennington Rural Fire Department Clerk Lexie Vincelette said she's been told some people who don't live in the district are going to the town clerk's office and changing their address.
The Bennington Banner reported that the Jan. 27 annual meeting is public, but only those residing in the Bennington Rural Fire Department district can vote.
Bennington Town Clerk Tim Corcoran said when the town learns a person has changed their address, it sends a "challenge letter" asking them to verify their address. State law requires the town do this when a registered voter doesn't vote for two consecutive general elections.MORE IN This Just In
