Voting Record Tells Us Much More About Ross Than What He Says
Published: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 12:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 at 12:04 a.m.
U.S. Rep. Dennis A. Ross [R-Lakeland] addressed the Tiger Club of Polk County on April 11. Ross spoke on many subjects but a central theme seemed to be that he could be all things to all people.
Ross, when first elected, was a strong tea party member. Then he denied he still was aligned with them. You have to look carefully at his voting record to find where he has not voted with the tea party.
Ross takes some credit for the Farm Bill to include $125 million for citrus greening research. He also talked of immigration reform and how it may help Florida businesses that rely heavily on the people who seek a way to become citizens, but his statements clearly indicated his support for business and not for the immigrants.
Ross also spoke about the Ukrainian situation and appeared to be in support of President Barack Obama's administration's actions there.
Ross blamed prior Republican congresses for failing to act on health care and a balanced budget, and also indirectly supported the Obama position on these issues.
On the upcoming presidential race, Ross said he didn't find that any of the current Republican candidates would be electable.
He also said he felt that our congressional districts would continue to be Republican because of the "reapportionment process over the last 10 years." In other words, they were gerrymandered by Republicans to be Republican.
Ross appeared to be quite moderate on most everything. His views were not far from those of this independent voter. But if you look at his voting record, as published in The Ledger that same day, Ross voted against equal pay for women. He voted for the Ryan budget. He did not vote at all on several other bills.
Does all this make him a Republican in name only, or just a hypocrite?

We just got home from a history-laden vacation that included DC, Thomas Jefferson's mansion/plantation, and the Gettysburg Civil War battlefield. It was sweltering, hot and humid, a bit like Vietnam. We enjoyed many simple and fancy memorable meals, which I'll relate to you next week, after I sift through all my notes and photos.
Today, I just want to relay a nifty tip that I got via email from a frequent visitors to this site. I sometimes get into mini collaborations with some of you to solve a vexing cooking issue or source an ingredient. When things work out well, I love to share the findings so we all benefit.
I can't remember when Josh G. and I began communicating about sourcing plants for growing pandan (la dua in Vietnamese), a Southeast Asian aromatic grown for its gladiola-like blade leaves that exude a grassy, vanilla-ish flavor and green color to food. If you've seen green cakes at an Asian bakery, chances are they're made with fake or real pandan extract.

Microsoft is holding a "Spring Fling" sale on Xbox Live this week. They've slashed prices on a number of "spring-related" items such as, uh, Peggle. Sure, why not?
The connection of the discounted content to spring is tenuous at best. On the bright side, a lot of it is stuff you might actually want to download. Plants vs. Zombies and Peggle are, after all, two of the most popular puzzle games on the service. Here's the list of "Spring Fling" content as well as their new prices.

Good Start,
This review is from: Big Girl Knits: 25 Big, Bold Projects Shaped for Real Women With Real Curves (Hardcover)
I like the witty chat in this book. It gives good advice & encourages the Larger Gal to knit for fun. But, the patterns are not geared to everyone. I only found two items in the whole book that I'd make. Some of them are just too weird but maybe that's an age thing. I do like their style & did buy the book for my library.

Nonteaching employees in the Mathews Local School District, whose contract ratification vote deadlocked at 12-12 last week, voted again Monday night on the same proposal and ratified it.
The vote on the three-year package was 17-9, according to Ron Blatt, field representative for Local 611 of the Ohio Association of Public School Employees. The local represents the district's 30 custodians, cafeteria employees and bus drivers.
Blatt had said earlier that the union would have issued a 10-day strike notice had the new contract been rejected Monday night. The local had given a strike notice effective March 14, but withdrew it after negotiations with a federal mediator.
"I think the difference is that we felt we need to be there for the kids and the community," Blatt said.
The agreement, which is retroactive to the beginning of the current school year, provides no pay increases the first two years and a one-half percent increase in its final year. All full-time employees will have to pay 10 percent of their medical-insurance premiums, an increase above the 5 percent some members were paying. Blatt said local members who work more than 20 hours but less than 40 hours weekly will pay a slightly higher percentage.
Superintendent Lewis Lowery, who refused to return to negotiations after the union's deadlocked vote last week, said he was relieved with the outcome.
"I'm really pleased with this result, and I compliment the union leadership," the superintendent said.
Lowery said the district can concentrate on its efforts to get the community to approve a $24.7 million bond issue for a new kindergarten-through-12th-grade facility on the May 6 ballot. The new building, to be financed by a 9.35-mill levy, would replace the district's aging schools including the combination high school-junior high that is nearly 100 years old.
For anyone who would like to act like they are upset at the voters if this bond issue fails again on may 6th, I would like to remind them before they start to complain too much that the 1997 State Supreme Court ruling in DeRolph v. State declared the way our schools are funded is unconstitutional. The real key to success in my mind should be not pricing working families out of their homes, but rather trying to have the state do what they should be doing and that is adequately funding our schools. Sorry my family is voting no. We already are just trying to afford living here as it is. My wife and I both work full time jobs, and even with my overtime, this additional $400 dollars a year is just too much, by far. proper funding is really the key and what is needed. If we can't get additional funding from the state, then I think we should just make the repairs.

The United States' financial system is broken for all but a few at the top -- that much is plain. But given the complexity and size of Big Finance, it's hard to pin down why.
"You name it, we are buying it," says NYPD Chief Bill Bratton as city purchases $7.5 million in military-style gear.
Speakout is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. Speakout articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
LA, SF, NYC, Houston, Sacramento - 99Rise Citizen activists from across the country ended their water-only fast yesterday after weeks of deprivation in a bid to elevate the issue of money-in-politics corruption during this year's midterm election. Those fasting had urged voters to exclusively support candidates who support pro-democracy reforms that would overturn the Supreme Court's recent Citizen United and McCutcheon decisions through a constitutional amendment and federal legislation.
"It's a bittersweet moment for me." said 99Rise co-founder Kai Newkirk who broke his 18-day fast last night. "Our fast has come to an end, but it comes in the wake of a devastating election, stolen from the American people by corporations and billionaires who bankrolled these campaigns to the tune of 4 billion dollars. That's an auction, not a democratic election."
Environmental and human rights activists are increasingly demanding that companies be responsible actors in a myriad of ways, from eradicating conflict minerals in their supply chains, to paying workers a fair wage, to using less toxic materials in apparel or other products. Activist campaigns have become much more sophisticated over the past few decades as well; instead of campaigns solely based on environmental and human rights impacts, activists are now targeting companies for how they wield their influence, and for their public stance on issues. In essence, a company's impact on society – or even a company's impact on culture – is increasingly transparent and is therefore more likely to be questioned.
A quick Google search for "how do companies affect culture" yields results on how to influence corporate culture, how a company's corporate culture can influence its profitability, you name it. What's not as readily examined is how a company –through its products, ethics and business choices as a brand – affects our wider cultural values, norms and ethics. What are the imprints made by the very companies whose products populate our daily lives, with which we have a personal relationship – your favorite ice cream, shoes, or shampoo – and how do those imprints dictate our culture? Can you imagine a world unchanged by Coca-Cola, Apple or Twitter?
Citizenfour is about NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's actions as well as the collective work of reporters, and whistleblowers Laura Poitras, Glenn Greenwald, Ewen MacAskill, Jeremy Scahill and William Binney.
Laura Poitras produced My Country, My Country in 2006. In that film she explained life for Iraqis under American occupation. In 2010, she produced The Oath, which covered two Yemenis' relation to Gitmo and the War on Terror. Poitras also produced The Program, which discusses the domestic surveillance enterprise in Bluffdale, Utah. As a result of this body of work, Poitras undergoes monitoring by the United States Government, and is harassed routinely by border patrol agents.
Elizabeth Warren, with her crusade to reform finance, is the darling of many, and there is a movement for her to run for President. But she's another imperialist hawk in the tradition of Bush II, Obama, and Hillary Clinton. Consider the foreign policy statement in her 2012 campaign for Senate:
"Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has called for 'Smart Power' - the use of defense, diplomacy, development, and other tools to advance US interests in the world. As a Senator, I will pursue a foreign policy that is smart, tough, and pragmatic." Her Hillary is a super-hawk, deeply committed to fear- and war-waging, and a war criminal.
TV ad spending in state Supreme Court elections by outside groups, political parties, and candidates has surged to more than $13.8 million since January, surpassing the $12.2 million spent on TV advertising in the 2010 midterm elections, according to an analysis by the Brennan Center for Justice and Justice at Stake of estimates provided by Kantar Media/CMAG.
The 2014 judicial elections delivered a new round of special interest money, attack ads, and partisan politics into America's courtrooms, shattering several state records and increasing political pressure on state justices. For the first time, a powerful national political group, the Republican State Leadership Committee, systematically invested in Supreme Court and lower court contests across the country — an effort that was unsuccessful in almost all its targeted states, including North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, and Montana.
DPA: Election Solidifies Drug Policy Reform as Mainstream Political Issue, Boosts Efforts to Legalize Marijuana in California and Elsewhere in 2016

Washington DC - Elliot Management Corporation told investors it will pursue sanctions against Argentina for refusing to comply with a US court order to pay the hold-out hedge fund. The announcement was made in a letter obtained by Bloomberg News and says the fund would continue to search for Argentine assets globally.
For decades, Afro-descendant communities in Colombia have fought for autonomy and self-determination as a response to government policies that produce multiple forms of violence in their communities. Fully aware of, and in solidarity with, mobilizations in Ferguson, Afro-Colombians recognize the common dreams of movements for racial justice for people of color people across the hemisphere. Two members of a delegation that visited these communities in August 2014 reflect on their own solidarity process and explore the ways that transnational solidarity manifests (or doesn't) in movements. How can we move beyond allyship and towards a practice of co-struggling?
One week after Michael Brown was murdered in Ferguson, nine US-based activists and artists of color and one white woman traveled to meet racial justice movement leaders in Colombia. Our delegation was led by Proceso de Comunidades Negras (PCN, Black Community Process), a collective of African-descendant Colombian groups focused on cultural and political power for Colombia's black population. The history of dispossession is a long one for African descendants in Colombia and across the diaspora i.e. European colonial conquests, subsequent violent and dehumanizing economies of enslavement, the state's denial of social services and reparations. With the energy of the #BlacksLivesMatter mobilizations flowing through our hearts and minds, we began our weeklong human rights delegation throughout the Southwest Valle de Cauca region of Colombia.

Verizon Aims to Cut Carbon Intensity by Half by 2020
Verizon announced yesterday that it will cut its CO2 intensity in half by 2020, using 2009 as a baseline.
The company made the announcement as it released its first combined financial and corporate responsibility report, which revealed that Verizon reduced its carbon intensity by 30 percent from 2009 to 2011. This means the company needs another 20 percentage point decrease to reach its 2020 goal.
Environmental Leader will review the report in detail soon.
Verizon's carbon efficiency metric, unveiled in 2011, divides the company's carbon emissions in metric tons by the amount of data that it transports, in terabytes. The carbon emissions used in the metric include electricity, building fuels and vehicle fuels.
The company says this metric allows it to accurately quantify the impact of all its environmental initiatives for the first time. Tests using the metric showed a 15 percent improvement in the company's carbon efficiency from 2009 to 2010.
Last year the company announced a goal of increasing its carbon efficiency by 15 percent from 2010 to 2011, and Verizon says it achieved this aim, with a reduction of just under 17 percent.
Also in 2011, the company announced that it had implemented Polargy's PolarPlex containment system across nearly 1 million square feet of data centers, achieving a 7.7 percent improvement in energy efficiency.
Reader Comments
I am a FIOS customer of Verizon, and they installed a backup box unit in my house that draws a continuous 20 watts. 24/7/365. It does not power down when the battery is charged nor when there is no call for service. Just a constant 20 watts. That costs each customer about $20 per year. Not a lot, but a good lunch.
As of the end of 2010 there were 4.1 million FIOS customers (per Verizon's annual report). Presumably there are many more now. Assuming there are at least 5 million, that means a constant 100MW of power is needed 24/7–including during periods of peak power, exacerbating the demands on power production and giving Dominion Power and other utilities more ammunition to build more power plants and power lines.
Assuming 5 million customers results in annual energy consumption of 876 million kWh. A not unreasonable estimate for CO2 is about 1.3 pounds per kWh, resulting in more than 1/2 million metric tons of CO2 emitted due to these boxes.
The technology to make these backup boxes "smart" already exists. They could power down to less than a watt when there is no call for service. But Verizon does not care. They would rather save the $1 on the cheaper unit than help reduce demand on the grid.
I'd like for Verizon to include these emissions in their calculations. That would then incentivize them in the right direction.

I would be delighted if people can review my site:
I am very new to PHP, CSS, but have a basic knowledge of html.
Things I would like to do include (other than more content, which will come over the coming month) are:
1. html form for people to subscribe to my Friday in Malawi Emagazine. I would like to put this somewhere on the sidebar. (I have the html, but do not know where to put it.)
2. Logo's which will serve as advertisements for some of my clients, again, these will go into the sidebar.
That is it for now, may ask for more from the experts later!
Thanks in advance!

13 Tips to Manage Stress
In this article
Everyone has stress, because life isn't something we totally control. The question is: Are you managing your stress, or has it mastered you?
The answer matters a lot for your health. If you're stressed often over time, it puts you at risk for heart disease, depression, and other problems.

Make a Midlife Crisis Work for You
By Jennifer Warner Rather than letting fear and anxiety restrict your life choices and leave you in a rut, experts say you can look at a midlife crisis as an opportunity for personal growth. Linda Sapadin, author of Master Your Fears: How to Triumph over Your Worries and Get on with Your Life, recommends these steps for using a midlife crisis to your advantage: Do one gutsy thing. Do something despite feeling uncomfortable or fearful about it. "That's one way to move outside of your comfort...

The key is to stop stress before it stops you. It's simpler than you might think: Solve stressful problems when you can. And when you can't, connect with other people, and get active.
13 Tips to Ease Stress
Use these tips to help keep stress at bay.
- Ask yourself what you can do about the sources of your stress. Think through the pros and cons. Take action where you can.
- Keep a positive, realistic attitude. Accept that although you can't control certain things, you're in charge of how you respond.
- Stand up for yourself in a polite way. Share your feelings, opinions, or beliefs, instead of becoming angry, defensive, or passive.
- Learn and practice relaxation techniques. Try breathing exercises, meditation, prayer, yoga, or tai chi.
- Exercise regularly. You'll feel better and be more prepared to handle problems.
- Eat healthy. Avoid too much sugar. Focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. When you're stressed, you'll probably want less-nutritious comfort foods, but if you overdo them, they'll add to your problems.
- Try to manage your time wisely.
- Say no, where you can, to things that would add more stress to your life.
- Make time for hobbies and interests.
- Get enough rest and sleep. Your body needs time to recover from stressful events.
- Don't rely on alcohol, drugs, or food to help against stress. Ease up on caffeine, too.
- Spend time with people you love.
- Talk with a counselor or take a stress management class for more help.
How Does Stress Affect Health?
Stress that continues without relief can lead to headaches, an upset stomach, high blood pressure, chest pain, problems with sleeping or sex, depression, panic attacks, or other forms of anxiety and worry.
On top of that, if you handle stress with food, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gambling, overspending, or other things that don't solve the problem, you're going to end up with more stress.
What Are the Warning Signs of Stress?
Chronic, ongoing stress can wear down the body's natural defenses, leading to symptoms including:
- Dizziness or a general feeling of "being out of it"
- General aches and pains
- Grinding teeth, clenched jaw
- Headaches
- Indigestion or acid reflux symptoms
- Increase in, or loss of, appetite
- Muscle tension in neck, face, or shoulders
- Problems sleeping
- Racing heart
- Cold and sweaty palms
- Tiredness, exhaustion
- Trembling or shaking
- Weight gain or loss
- Upset stomach, diarrhea
- Being irritable, impatient, or forgetful

Christie's Negative Ratings Rise Among New Jersey Voters
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's ratings turned more negative this month as the percentage of voters giving him low job-performance scores climbed to the highest since he took office in January 2010, a survey found.
Christie, a first-term Republican, is doing a fair or poor job according to 60 percent of voters queried, up from 55 percent last month, according to a PublicMind poll released today by Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey.
Fewer people had a "favorable" opinion of the 48-year-old governor -- 40 percent, down from 47 percent in April. At the same time, 45 percent had an "unfavorable" view of him, up from 41 percent last month and the highest since he took office, the poll shows.
"May may be good for flowers, but it's not so good for the governor," Peter Woolley, director of the PublicMind polling institute, said in a statement. "May is budget tensions in Trenton, budget battles in towns and budget disappointments in school districts."
The telephone survey was conducted May 16-22, when lawmakers were deliberating Christie's proposed $29.4 billion spending plan for the 2012 fiscal year, which starts in July.
Approval Split
Michael Drewniak, a spokesman for Christie, said in an e-mail that polls are "snapshots" and declined to comment on the findings.
Forty-four percent of those surveyed disapproved of his performance as governor, compared with 41 percent in an April survey, the school said. It was Christie's biggest disapproval rating since he took office.
Christie's disapproval rating also climbed in a Monmouth University survey released May 18. Forty-nine percent of residents disapproved of the governor, up 9 points since February and the most negative rating since he took office.
In the PublicMind poll, the shift was most pronounced among women, with 53 percent disapproving of his job performance and 36 percent of men giving him a similar rating. Woolley said the difference presented a "dramatic contrast" in the views of the two groups.
Voters who said the state should cut programs rather than raise taxes dropped to 54 percent from 64 percent in April. Those who said the state should raise levies first slipped to 25 percent from 26 percent.
Researchers questioned 804 registered voters statewide, producing a survey with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is set to make his comeback from injury in time for Wednesday's crucial Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.
Los Blancos, who are aiming to become the first club in history to lift 10 European Cups, head to the Allianz with high hopes of dethroning the current holders and will be upbeat following the news of their key man's return.
If the Spaniards do prevail, they could meet Madrid rivals Atletico in the final on May 24.
The 29-year-old has missed Real Madrid's last four matches, including the 2-1 Copa del Rey final victory over rivals Barcelona. However, as per Marca.com "the player has practically recovered from the 1.5cm. tear to his left hamstring" and should be deemed fit ahead of Wednesday's trip to Germany.
Who will win this year's Champions League?
Ronaldo is fully expected to feature for Carlo Ancelotti's side, although it is not known whether that will be from the start or as a substitute.
The 2013 FIFA Ballon d'Or winner has enjoyed another successful campaign, returning 45 goals in all competitions. The Champions League has been particularly fruitful for the Portugal captain. Already this season, Ronaldo has set records for scoring in eight consecutive Champions League matches, hitting nine in the group stage, and for most goals scored in a calendar year.
Additionally, as per UEFA.com, he has equalled Lionel Messi's record of 14 goals in a single Champions League campaign.
Madrid have already beaten Schalke and Dortmund on route to the last four, their chances of claiming a third German scalp are certainly helped by the timely return of their star man.
Can Real Madrid overcome the Bavarians? Post your thoughts below.

Cheese Grits
Total Time
Prep 5 mins
Cook 20 mins
Cheesy delicious Grits....Southern Style!
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups water
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 cup coarse ground cornmeal
- 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- Place the milk, water, and salt into a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once the milk mixture comes to a boil, gradually add the cornmeal while continually whisking. Once all of the cornmeal has been incorporated, decrease the heat to low and cover. Remove lid and whisk frequently, every 3 to 4 minutes, to prevent grits from sticking or forming lumps; make sure to get into corners of pot when whisking. Cook for 20 to 25 minutes or until mixture is creamy.
- Remove from the heat, add the pepper and butter, and whisk to combine. Once the butter is melted, gradually whisk in the cheese a little at a time. Serve immediately.

This recipe is great! My brother said it was like macaroni and cheese, and I can see why he thought that. It would still be good with less cheese, maybe 3oz instead. Thank you
Nice and creamy grits. The directions are well written. I did reduce the recipe to serve 2 which was perfect. Served this with fresh baked biscuits and scrambled eggs. I think these would also be good with green chili added in. Made for *PAC Spring 2009*

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 1996
Running Time: 78
Director: Jim Enright
Company: Wicked Pictures
Cast: Celine DeVoux, Peter North, Felecia, Tom Byron, Rebecca Lord, Tracey Love, Tony Tedeschi
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Feature
In this enjoyable little vid, Peter North plays a fashion photographer turned porn shooter who works for Rebecca Lord. He's a bit shy making the transition to the hardcore world, but Lord helps him along the way. Also along the way, Tom Byron and Marc Wallice manage to d.p. Celine DeVoux in a too-short scene, Lord and Felecia get it on in a way-too-short scene, and Lord and tony Tedeschi let only a film of latex come between them in an otherwise hot coupling. The final scene, in which blowjob and then lays back for full-length strokes of his massive dick into her ass, is a fitting climax to a fine effort.
In addition, the consistently high-quality lighting and videography makes for a welcome break from the poorly lit, fuzzy footage that all too often makes its way to market. This gets a strong recommendation and deserves prominent display.

Is it possible to convert a lion Dvd from a Lion flash drive? Last year when Lion came out I created a lion install usb. I need to create a dvd to send to someone off site and did not want to give my trusty usb drive away. Is it possible to burn this to disc? I did a little googling there doesnt seem to be an easy way other than redownloading from Apple.
You should be able to accomplish this by doing the following:
This should burn the volume to the DVD. If it doesn't, you may have another problem at hand.

Hi, I started with WordPress couple of months ago and needed a simple contact form but with good spam protection, something similar to the comments form. Tried a few plugins that worked good, but were a bit too "heavy weight", bringing sepatate filtering, field verification and anti-spam methods that already exist in WP.
So I made a page template that uses the comments routine but for contact form. Eventually I needed more options and had to turn the template into a plugin :)
Essentially this plugin lets visitors post comments to a password protected page and lets the blog's admin read these messages when logged in. Of course it can also send emails to the admin's address. All the processing and spam protection is done by WP, including all anti-spam plugins. It's been tested with Akismet, SK2 and Bad Behavior.
This is the first release at version 0.1, so any comments, suggestion and requests are welcome. You can download it here:

Maybe I'm just feeling curmudgeonly today, but I've come to the conclusion that questions like this should always be answered "NO!!!"
No offense intended to the original poster, but if you don't understand the gun well enough, or for whatever reason don't feel comfortable carrying cocked, then HECK NO you shouldn't carry it that way! In fact, until you understand the gun's functioning and manual of arms well enough that you don't have to ask questions like this, you probably shouldn't carry it at all!

Marathon Training Update
Can you tell I'm currently in taper mode for the last few weeks of training? I completely skipped my Thursday night run because I started to feel like I was coming down with a cold, so I opted to rest instead. All week my legs were feeling fatigued from the 20 miler and I was totally unmotivated to run. Is that normal during tapering? I was looking forward to my long runs on Saturday though, because I was meeting up with some awesome girls (Hi Valerie, Melissa & Yulia!) for our run at the the Bike Path. It was another beautiful fall day with warmer than normal temperatures of high 50s, which was great because I'm thinking that's what the weather will be like in Virginia on race day. If I'm lucky it will be in the 30s but I think that's wishful thinking, no? 😉
Long Run Stats
Distance 14.08 miles
Time – 2:28:48
Average Pace – 10:34 (essentially my goal pace for the marathon)
Sunday I participated in the RunDead5K, a zombie themed race up at SPAC! The race wasn't really what I was hoping for, so I was a bit disappointed. I didn't have to run, but it was a LOT of standing around waiting for runners to come by. I think I did a good job playing Zombie, though!
Workout schedule for this week:
Monday – Rest
Tuesday – 4 mi
Wednesday – 3 mi
Thursday – 4 mi
Friday – Rest
Saturday – 8 mi – Last long run before the marathon!
Sunday – Rest/XT – I'm going to try REALLY hard to get to a yoga class at some point
Total Mileage – 19 mi

Anne recently posted..Bircher Muesli
I just did my first full marathon on 10/7. I got unmotivated to run after the 20 but I also got real nervous and stuck to the plan because that was the plan! Tapering felt really weird and I felt like it had been forever since the 20. Just keep in mind, anything that started to hurt toward the end of your 20, REALLY hurts during the full. That was the case for me, anyway. Also, go get a massage a couple days post race. You will deserve it.
I was a runner at the event and really enjoyed myself! I fell in love with trail running there and thought the course was beautiful – despite hills and stairs. Wish I had looked for you because I shot the SEEN gallery for the TU and got some terrific zombie pictures. Good luck on the marathon!

I hear talk of this taper thing being all hard and making you go crazy… but I've been in love with it. I'm right with you with being unmotivated after the 20 miler. But my short runs since then have been refreshing.
See you in Richmond. 🙂 Looks like we're about the same pace.

All Rise...
Aye, Judge David Johnson? Nay.
The Charge
I, suck.
Opening Statement
Originally released just in time for the winter cinema graveyard, this action fantasy re-imagines Dr. Frankenstein's lumbering and oblivious monster as a smoldering acrobatic demon assassin. On paper? Dumb, but potentially fun. In practice? Just dumb.
Facts of the Case
Adam (Aaron Ekhart, The Dark Knight) is Frankenstein's monster, a soulless creation pieced together from an assortment of lantern-jawed corpses. He's a provocative character, especially in the modern world, which is dominated by two supernatural races: the gargoyles (remnants of Heaven's archangels charged with protecting Earth) and demons (dirtbags from Hell looking to overrun humanity). Adam is the key to tipping the balance of power. He's got the moves to demolish the demonic horde, but the fact that he's lacking a soul (a mandatory prerequisite to reanimate slain demons) may be just the recipe head honcho demon (Bill Nighy, Hot Fuzz) needs to resuscitate his fallen comrades for a final cataclysmic push.
The Evidence
My expectations weren't exactly stratospheric going into I, Frankenstein, but once its bananas mythology was laid out my attention was piqued. I'm a sucker for Heaven/Hell fantasy, and the crazy world of Gargoyles vs. Demons held some potential. Of course, nothing made much sense—the gargoyles have a gigantic headquarters in the middle of the city, and the demons routinely screw around in public. The human characters somehow can't wrap their heads around the fact that there's a war going on, but when it comes to Hellspawn getting smote by divine battle axes, I'm willing to let that go.
My biggest problem with I, Frankenstein is its bread and butter: the blockbuster action sequences. The storyline upon which this mayhem is strung is ridiculous enough to sustain all manner of demon/gargoyle brawls. Simply put: the CGI overload is way too much. Granted, I don't know how you execute magic gargoyle jujitsu practically, but there has to be a better way than what ultimately plays out on screen. The real stumbling block is the gargoyle animation. These guys are clunky, monochromatic, and rendered with all the finesse of a sledgehammer. Lionsgate's HD transfer undercuts the sub-par visual effects, ensuring that anytime these guys show up the film flies off the rails. It's just too distracting to watch these Syfy original movie level constructs whizzing around.
Another oversight is Adam, the Frankenstein monster himself. Built up to be a legitimate badass from the get-go, it's all downhill after his first bout (which happens within the first 10 minutes). From there, our synthetic stud demon-smacker is relegated to near-bystander status. When he IS called upon to throw down, he ends up winning by default (a ballyhooed face-off between Adam and the head gargoyle enforcer ends in an accidental stabbing). The finale is bombastic and fireball-filled, but once again our boy doesn't contribute a whole lot. Which is ultimately the film's biggest bummer.
Give me a goofy mythology. Lay the cheesy CGI on thick and creamy. I can take it. All I ask in return is a Frankenstein monster that brings it! This one could use a few more lightning strikes to the head to get him really pissed.
A top-notch technical presentation anchors I, Frankenstein 3D (Blu-ray), kicking off with a sterling 2.40:1/1080p transfer. The visuals, as over-the-top (and sporadically shifty) as they are, pop off the screen. Sound-wise, the DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track delivers the goods, pumping out chaos with panache. Bonus Features: the 2D presentation, two commentary tracks with director Stuart Beattie and his producers, two brief making-of featurettes highlighting the film's creature effects, the theatrical trailer, a standard def DVD copy, and an UltraViolet digital download.
Closing Statement
I'm serious…The premise was up my alley. Too bad everything else in I, Frankenstein belongs in a formaldehyde jar.

The Arkansas Razorbacks have tentatively completed their 2015 non-conference football schedule.
Arkansas had three games previously announced, and now a fourth is listed on the official website of the UT Martin Skyhawks.
UTM will visit Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville on Halloween, October 31, 2015. The game will be the first ever between the two schools on the gridiron.
Arkansas is scheduled to open the 2015 season at home on September 5 against the UTEP Miners. Per a copy of the contract we obtained in April, Arkansas will pay UTEP a $900,000 guarantee for the game.
The Razorbacks and Miners have met twice on the gridiron. Arkansas leads the series 2-0 after winning 39-7 in 1989 and 58-21 in 2010.
A week after hosting UTEP, Arkansas welcomes the Toledo Rockets to Fayetteville. The game, which was officially announced in January, will be the first ever meeting between the two.
Arkansas' third consecutive non-conference game is slated for Sept. 19 in Fayetteville against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The game is the second of a home-and-home series that kicks off on Sept. 13 this season in Lubbock.
In Bret Bielema's first season at the helm, Arkansas finished 3-9 overall and 0-8 in the SEC. The Razorbacks open the 2014 season on Saturday, Aug. 30 at the SEC Champion Auburn Tigers. The game is set for 4pm ET on the new SEC Network.
UT Martin? Guess Savannah State was busy….
UT Martin beat memphis in the Liberty Bowl 2 years ago and has a lot of players in this NFL. Lee …
Way to challenge yourself, Bert
The football coach doesn't make the decision on who we play its the Athletic Director that makes the decisions
Texas Tech and Toledo are both good non-conference games. UTEP might be decentish. Least we're scheduling teams we haven't played before.
We have already played UTEP and going to play Texas Tech
Wasn't Incarnate Word available or Slippery Rock?
I meant we haven't played Toledo or UT Martin before.
Apparently scheduling a friendly game against Arkansas State is out of the question.
I wish … Still, UCA would be nice!
Mike, Arkansas hasn't played a regular season game against another in-state school in the regular season of any sport in decades. Frank Broyles instituted the "No play" rule.
Yes Robert, I was aware of that policy of former coach & AD emeritus Frank Broyles. It never made any practical sense. One of Frank's peculiar quirks. Most other state Universities do not have this dilemma. However, Frank has since retired & moved on. I definitely enjoyed my stay in the Natural State from 87 -92.
I will say that is one thing LSU has done right the last few years. They have given an in Louisiana school the opportunity to play in Tiger stadium, have very low travel expenses and get a nice payday. Since they are all state schools why not keep the money in state. I say play Arkansas State and give back a little, was Broyles worried about the no upside issue. Just beat them as you should and everyone wins.
Your comment seems plausible to most normal thinking folks. It was the fact that Frank Broyles operated on a different wave length than most other people. He alleged divided loyalties which was absurd. Ohio State had a similar scheduling policy for a long period of time. Now they play all the Div I schools in the state on a rotational basis. Wonder if there is a divided loyalty issue in Ohio.
Hog Fan that would love to see us play A-State!! Keep the cash in state. What a sell out that would be.
The coach as well as others consults with the AD regarding scheduling. The AD does not operate in a vaccum.
dang hogs will always be a mediocre team! Should go play in ConfUSA
Wish Alabama would remember their Little Rock and play UAB (Alabama at Birmingham) in Birmingham. Arkansas 35 Alabama 17. Arkansas 28 UAB 42…
Hogs are an eyelash away from being a 10-2 team — Had Bama beat, A&M Beat, Auburn close, Miss St -could've easily won. Should beat Ole Miss and LSU both at home.
After Frank Broyles is long gone, UA & ASU can start playing each other on a regular basis. Call it the 'Frank Broyles Classic' in his honor.
Another weak OOC schedule. Nothing new for Arkansas, they have long refused to play most geographically close teams in the Big10, Big8/12, SEC teams (when they were in the SWC) opting for CUSA, SunBelt level opponents.
Look how close Arkansas is to Iowa, Nebraska, Iowa St, Kansas, Kansas St, Missouri, Oklahoma and how few times they've played those teams.
Garbage scheduling.
Due to recent conference affiliation, the Hogs play the Mizzou Tigers now. Should be an excellent annual rivalry game.

Skip to comments.Upcoming new book title: THE STAND AT KLAMATH FALLS
Posted on 01/27/2006 3:18:08 PM PST by Jeff Head
I am very close to finishing my book regarding The Stand at Klamath Falls and the crisis of 2001. Here is the cover art:
(Note: In this post I am including the Introduction, the Acknowledgements, and the Epilogue for review and comment.. The book should be completed and to the printers by the 1st of February.)
It has been almost five years since the memorable and pivotal events surrounding the struggle by farmers in the Klamath Basin of Oregon and California took place. Much has occurred since then that has overshadowed those events but nothing can erase the importance of them or their impact, then, now, or in the future.
The time has come for this author to tell that story.
It is the story of how rural western farmers and their supporters stood up against entrenched environmentalists, liberal politicians, appointed Federal judges, and agencies of the Federal Government and prevailed.
It is the story of farmers in the Klamath Basin and those who supported them in their struggle to reclaim their water rights in the summer of 2001. It is a story told through eye-witness accounts, narratives, and pictures. This author was humbled to stand with those patriotic, God-fearing Americans defending their God-given, unalienable rights against a Federal bureaucracy gone amok. Its a story of how a rabid environmental lobby, federal judges, and politicians willfully perverted our system to deprive those citizens of their water and property rights. In so doing, those citizens were in danger of losing their livelihoods and their way of life.
It led to intolerable conditions that could not be allowed to stand and those conditions did not stand.
May this inspiring story of American faith, courage, and determination serve as a beacon for all those who read it, may it also serve as a model for others to defend their own rights whenever this ugly specter rears its head.
Jeff Head
Emmett, ID, January 2006
There are too many individuals who gave of themselves, their hearts, their minds, their time, their means, and their body and soul to list individually. To all those who helped, either actively at the head-gates, or at home, on the internet, getting signatures, writing letters, making calls, posting on forums, or in other ways; thank you, and may God bless you.
The good farmers of the Klamath Basin faced a crisis of tremendous proportions in 2001, and in many ways, they still face it today. But, with the help they received, coupled with their own courage, commitment, ingenuity, and faith in God and their fellowman, they prevailed and got through.
Nonetheless, there are some I simply must mention individually.
To those farmers and their friends in Klamath; Joey, Danny, Barron, Barbara, Marni, Gavin, Mike, Bob, Gaylord, the Bill(s), James, Stan, Rick, Jim (God rest your soul) and Mary thank you for showing me what true Americans can accomplish when they courageously stand,. Thank you for graciously allowing me, a misplaced Texan living in Idaho, to be a part of your struggle. God bless, keep, and prosper you each.
In addition, to a few of the tens of thousands who came from all across the country to help; Sean, Rocky, J.J, my son Jared, Brian, AuntB, Mary, the Dave(s), Bill, Christie, Phil, and Tom .thank you, and God bless and keep you for helping. All of you, with all the others who came, made a huge difference. The numbers mattered, and in the end, they mattered a lot to the administration and the course it ultimately chose to take.
To some of the web sites that supported the farmers and made a huge difference in garnering the much needed support; Freerepublic.com (Jim, thanks and God bless), SierraTimes.com (J.J., again, thanks and Gods best to you), the Frontiers of Freedom, KlamathBasinCrisis.com (where I initially learned of the troubles), and KamathBucketBrigade.com. Thanks for providing a revolution in the way news gets out. We are all better for it.
Finally, thanks especially to my wife, my children, my father (God rest his soul), and my mother for putting up with me as I gave myself to this cause. My love for you, my faith in God, and a desire to avoid similar circumstances fueled me. I have been taught from my youth that we should not expect help from others in such circumstances unless we are first willing help other. I know this is true and Jared, now you do too.
----- Content of book to go here. Approximately 180 pages -----
Sections include:
------------ End of content. Approximately 180 pages ------------
- The Background (1902-1988)
- The Buildup (1988-June 2001)
- The Stand at Klamath Falls (July 2001-September 10, 2001)
- 911 and The Deal (September 13, 2001)
- The Aftermath (September 2001-June 2003)
The crisis in the Klamath Basin has abated and the farmers have prevailed but it is not over. Water flowed again in the Spring of 2004, and again in 2005. As of this writing, record precipitation throughout the Northwest makes it clear that the 2006 growing season will be another one where the water flows and the irrigation and farming in the Klamath Basin continues as intended.
For the last four years, and now going into the fifth, since those fateful events in 2001, the farmers have not had to resort to protest and civil disobedience to get water that they have the rights to in the first place. Such an occurrence was narrowly averted in 2003, but it could be repeated again at almost any time.
That 2003 event punctuated that the danger and instability to the farming way of life in the Klamath Basin remain in place, and are only averted under the status quo by the political leanings and activities of elected and appointed officials. Under a different administration, like the Clinton administration of the 1990s, or even a more liberal Republican one, it is likely that the original crisis would not have been addressed as it was, and equally likely that it would have long since raised its head again even if it had been.
For the liberty-loving, patriotic, and God-fearing farmers, there are some very critical lessons that have been learned.
1) The Endangered Species Act (ESA) must either be wholly done away with, or completely amended to its core. It has been wrested far beyond its original purpose. It has also become the source of the growth of a powerful and rabid environmental lobby with tendrils that reach to every state house in this nation, to both halls of congress, and the White House itself. Billions of dollars have become wrapped up in an industry that has become over-burdensome, corrupt, and far too powerful. Those tendrils now boasts many non-governmental organizations that attempt to use provisions of the ESA to implement United Nations based, and other socialistic initiatives that are the source endless infringement and encroachment on American citizens property and water rights. Such a condition in un-American to its core and cannot be allowed to continue. Until this key issue is addressed, the threat of another Klamath Crisis, either in the Klamath Basin or elsewhere will loom ever present.
2) The water rights and the very irrigation works themselves in the Klamath Project were meant to, and ought to belong to the farmers themselves, to be administered by them. Addressing this key, long-standing issue would make it much more difficult for the provisions of the ESA to be applied to the private irrigation works of the farmers, and make them much more independent and robust in their ability to administer and control their own destiny.
3) Irrespective of the leanings of the major media and their bias, their exists a powerful communication medium in America through the internet, talk radio, cell phones, and word of mouth that can bring significant physical support and political pressure when the ugly specter of judicial or administrative dictate rears its head. Such communication lines must remain in place, ready for instant use, as long as the threat of another crisis like the one that occurred in 2001 remains in place.
4) The willingness of a few dedicated people, using their God-given rights, their faith, their ingenuity, their dedication to principle, the courage and their determination can spark a virtual revolution, if those traits are applied wisely and with no intent or will to be the initiators of violence. If such violence is ever to be, and God forbid that it ever go that far, let it be the other side who initiates it. This faith, this determination, this dedication to principle, and this virtue can be the underlying foundation indeed, it must be the underlying foundation upon which all the other lessons build. If it is, then a popular saying of the day can come into play whenever the crisis looms, whenever those opposed to this traditional American way of life come out of their dark shadows. That saying is, if you build it, they will come.
and they did come to the Klamath Basin.
The vast majority of those who became aware of the horrible conditions that developed there could see, and they could feel the power of the commitment of these farmers to their liberty, their rights, and to their way of life.
So, they came. First by the dozens, then by the hundreds, and ultimately by the tens of thousands, they came. By extension, out across the nation, they came by the millions and their collective influence was exerted and has made a difference.
THE WATER FLOWS .and may it continue to flow in the Klamath Basin and all across this nation.
May the lessons learned be fully applied so we in this nation never again have to witness the specter of armed Federal Officers standing on an irrigation dam keeping law-abiding farmers away from the water that they have the rights to. So that farmers can spend their time farming their fields and providing food and resource to a hungry nation, rather than having to resort to civil disobedience and protests against bureaucracy and regulation gone mad to the point of totalitarian conditions. That bureaucracy foisted ridiculous, frivolous, and junk science on the rights of citizens in order to enforce such conditions in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
God grant that the experiences of the farmers in the Klamath Basin will spread as an example across the breadth of this nation so that others can overcome similar conditions whenever they arise. Especially, God grant that this example, that these events, will give rise to true statesmen and patriots in our state houses, in our halls of congress, in our federal agencies, and in the very White House, as opposed to mere politicians who are manipulated by polls or the blathering and screeching of those willingly perverting our American system. It is up we citizens to put such statesmen there, so that the conditions that created this crisis do not materialize in the first place.
FYI...this book will finally be out in print soon.
Looking forward to getting it and reading it.
There was a lot more emotion in putting it together than I would have thought. Those events are still very close to the surface for me. Tell me what you think of the intro and epilogue in particular if you get a chance to read them.
Can't wait to buy my copy! Congratulations, Jeff. I'm sure it's another winner.
Will Check out!
Looks pretty good to me Jeff, the third paragraph of the Intro would make a better lead, and the first two paragraphs at the end.
This is the story of how rural western farmers and their supporters stood up against entrenched environmentalists, liberal politicians, appointed Federal judges, and agencies of the Federal Government and prevailed.
Did you use the old threads much for recall, or were the details all pretty fresh?
The government can put guards on water that belongs to farmers, but will not protect our borders!
I had it that way to begin with...but all of that, starting from that paragraph that you mention are also on the back cover of the book and I wanted to add a personal precursor on the inside. Should I just do away with that precursor?
I have had a lot of this up on my site for a long time...since it happened. I used most of that to help write the book.
Please do...and let me know what you think.
Good luck.
Personally I think it weakens the importance of the event and you should just lead into it.
You could include a final paragraph briefly describing your involvement and how it happened, and end with the "The time has come for this author to tell that story. ".
Did you consider a stronger word than "Stand" like "Battle" or "Conflict" or "Struggle" or "Standoff" or "Encounter"?
I called our local Hastings and the book is not in their system yet.
I will call them back next week.
...and for sale at Big R Ranch wholesale.
"Stand" in the title is what I feel good about...I have called it that from the start and there is already a lot of recognition out there to that name.
As always, my friend, thank you for your comments and advise.
It will probably be several weeks. Mid to late February.

after five years, where much has occurred to overshadow those events still, nothing can erase their importance or their impact, then, now, or in the future.
The time has come for this author to tell that story.
It was an honor to meet you at Klamath Falls
BEFORE 9/11 changed all our lives.
Let the Water Flow!
Your welcome, hope you don't think I'm nitpicking. And I like The Stand at Klamath Falls
See post 21 for the changes in the intro. Thanks again!
I'm eager to read this. And the finished product.
You are doing tremndous, patriotic work and fulfilling your duty in the Coast Guard Aux...thank you, from my entire family, for that service...in addition to all you do on FR.
Thank you my friend. I know you will enjoy it. Putting the book together put me right back there...and I found that the emotions and feelings were not far from the surface indeed.
And 30,000 salmon died in the Klamath river in water warm enough to bathe in.

Therefore, these other causes are much more likely to have been the root cause. Temperature of the water from other sources that year is one, and even more likely is the infectious disease known to have broken out amongst the salmon that year during spawning.
I'll buy it.
I remeber that threead my friend. It was an excellent account of what transpired on "Freedom Day", particularly the eight items you mentioned that the farmers shred with you.
About 3 weeks later the world changed forever.
I remeber that thread my friend. It was an excellent account of what transpired on "Freedom Day", particularly the eight items you mentioned that the farmers shared with you.
That change is all the more compelling reason to let these farmers irrigate and farm and provide the food and resources we need in the face of these abject enemies to our nation.
You guys did a great job at Klamath Falls.
It would make a great movie.
Hollywood, of course, wouldn't touch it...

Tens of thousands took part there...and hundreds and hundreds opf thosuands all over the country. And that is what it took.
It would indeed make a grat movie!
I remember the FR threads back then. Absolutely riveting.
I was an Eyewitness to The Stand At Klamath Falls (Week Two)
When I was back in Idaho, I was online at FR or SierraTimes taking part in that same fashion.
Revolutionary events.
...and BUNP BTTT. Gotta go out for a while, will check back in a couple of hours or so, maybe sooner.
Good work, Jeff! The original Klamath threads made for fascinating reading with the ongoing unfolding saga. I'll be skimming through this as I have time over the weekend (gotta go finish burning supper now, lol!)
Take care -- have a great weekend.
