No more business as usual

That sounds good, but with the economic future looking cloudy, were disappointed no one took a deeper look at how they are spending tax money. Polk County adopted a $23.2 million budget that is 1.34 percent lower than last years budget. Transylvanias $47.6 million budget is nine tenths of a percent lower than last years $48 million plan. And Henderson County OKd a $117.1 million budget that is a 3.6 percent higher than last years $113 million budget.
Out of the three, only Polk County kept its hands off cash reserves. Polk officials could avoid dipping into reserves because growth will add a half-million dollars to Polks revenues this year.
Transylvania County cut expenses while setting aside money to hire 24 new employees, 21 of them in the countys new Public Safety building that will include a new jail. But Transylvania officials had to take almost $700,000 out of reserves.
Henderson County commissioners turned to the fund balance for the second straight year, taking $2.4 million from reserves to help pay for expenses. These included hiring two new school nurses, increasing the local teacher supplement by a half percent and increase the Department of Social Services budget to pay for several positions.
Both Transylvania County Manager Artie Wilson and his Henderson County counterpart, Steve Wyatt, warned that dipping into reserves this year may mean increasing taxes next year.
Speaking at a June Business Morning Update, Wyatt said localities are often criticized for squirreling way more than the 8 percent in reserves. But its for hard times, Wyatt said of the reserves. Hard times are here.
Maybe so, but times could even get harder. Wyatt said this years energy costs are roughly double last years costs, mostly for sheriffs cruisers and EMS vehicles. But predictions are that oil prices will continue to rise, so gasoline and diesel fuel will get even more expensive in future years.
In view of that, its reasonable to expect some structural reform in local budgets. But so far, weve seen little.
Oh, there have been some talk about cutting vehicles off instead of letting them idle, reducing thermostat settings and not driving county vehicles home. But were talking changes that go deeper than that, like Wyatts proposal that the county go to a four-day work week.
Commissioners quickly shoved that proposal aside, saying it would complicate budget discussion too much. Meanwhile, the county school system figured out how to do it. Schools Superintendent Stephen Page ordered it for the summer with a stroke of the pen.
With future energy costs likely to soar higher, elected officials cant continue to depend on cash reserves theyve already depleted. Thinking outside the box that really changes how governments do business will be required.

Seeking civility
In last week's op-ed section of The River Reporter, Edward Kraus offered his opinion in a My View essay called "Our town, your town, whose town?" in which he suggested that "The air of division that is felt here [in the Town of Tusten] needs to end. Narrowsburg is too small to be fighting and bickering all the time. We need to get past it and move on for the good of all of us…." Read more
A vision for our watershed
Those of us who live and work in the Upper Delaware River Valley, or those who visit here, know and treasure the great natural beauty that surrounds us. What is often underappreciated, however, is that those very same natural assets contribute to running an immense economic engine in the Delaware River Basin that drives many industries—outdoor recreation; fishing and hunting; forestry; agriculture; and commercial navigation and ports far downstream from us. Amazingly the river also provides 5% of the drinking water in the U.S. Read more

Food safety: a tale of regulatory abuse
For most of the last 10,000 years people have farmed in a challenging give-and-take dance with Mother Nature. Over time, farmers sought to change the dance, to bend nature to produce more (quantity) and to create better (quality) results—from animal husbandry to plant biology to mechanization that made farm work easier. In the 20th century, industrial farming turned to chemistry—synthetic fertilizers and pesticides—and now genetic engineering to boost production. U.S. Read more

MADRID, March 25 Spain has not properly applied single telecoms market rules and consumers have paid the price, EU telecoms commissioner Viviane Reding said in an interview published on Wednesday.
"I have always tried to make regulation serious. But unfortunately in Spain it has not worked or been applied as it should have been," Reding told newspaper El Economista.
The Spanish regulator recently allowed incumbent Telefonica (TEF.MC) to offer fast Internet services without having to sell wholesale access to rivals to let them replicate the same service for their customers.
Reding is due to give a news conference at 1030 GMT to present a report on the state of play in Europe's single telecom market.
"Spain's is an exception to the rule (elsewhere in the EU): everywhere consumer prices have gone down but in Spain they have risen," she said.
Reding has been a frequent critic of Spain's national watchdog. (Reporting by Elisabeth O'Leary; Editing by David Holmes)

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni

The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

IBM® Rational® DOORS® does not track modules that are opened in the background by Rational DOORS extension language (DXL) programs. For example, if a DXL program opens other modules in the background and does not close them, memory use continues to increase. The DOORS client cannot close the modules, even if it has run out of memory. Eventually, the DOORS client terminates. To avoid this problem, you can use three perms, which are DOORS DXL APIs. These perms perform the following actions:
- Track and close modules
- Monitor the memory use by the DOORS application
- Display appropriate warnings
How to use memory management perms
Use the following perms to manage memory in Rational DOORS:
initNotDisplayedOpenModules(): This perm records the modules that are already prior to any operation. Call this perm at the beginning of any looping operation.
DisplayMemoryWarning(): This perm checks the memory usage of the application and closes modules opened in the back end, when the application uses more memory than the prescribed warning level. Place this perm inside a
whileloop so that the memory is monitored in each iteration, at regular intervals.
closeNotDisplayedOpenedModules(): This perm does all of the cleanup operations at the end and closes all modules opened in the back end, at the end of any operation.
Use the three perms shown in Listing 1. You can use the perms in combination. You can also use them when you iterate through all the objects in a module that has large amount of data. Another instance when you can use the perms is when there are more number of objects in a module.
Listing 1. Example of how to use memory management perms
initNotDisplayedOpenModules()is used before the start of the operation.
DisplayMemoryWarning()is used during actual operation, within a
whileloop, which monitors the memory used by the application and does the clean up job when memory reaches the prescribed limit.
closeNotDisplayedOpenedModules()is used at the end of the operation.
Use these perms in any custom DXL code that includes looping of all objects in a big module with a large amount of data and with links to other modules. To use these perms effectively, place them inside a loop that loops through all the objects or columns in the DOORS module to collect data.
Customize the memory management perms
Memory usage varies from system to system.DOORS can use more memory for its operations on systems with adequate memory. It is impossible to make a general rule about the maximum memory that can be used by DOORS. However, you can use registry values to customize memory management and to set the system memory that DOORS can use.
Set default values in Rational DOORS
By default certain parameters are set. You can override these values with
registry entries set under the DOORS client registry, under the
config key. Use the following registry string keys:
MEM_LEVEL_CLOSE: The default value is 1000MB. When this value is reached, the memory management perm starts closing the opened modules that it keeps track of. To override this maximum value, use the
stringregistry key entry
MEM_LEVEL_CLOSEunder DOORS Client > Config and specify the suitable value. Specify the maximum memory (in MBs) that your system can allocate to DOORS as the value under this registry key. For example if a machine can allocate 2GB of memory to doors.exe without crashing, the value for this registry key needs to be 1800 or 2000. You need to experiment with values until you find the correct setting. The higher the value, the better the performance, but the machine needs to be able to support a high value.
MEM_LEVEL_WARN: The default value is 800MB. On reaching this level, the memory management perm warns the user to either continue or to end the operation to avoid a crash. To override this value, use the registry key entry
MEM_LEVEL_WARNunder DOORS Client > Config and specify a suitable value. Based on this value, Rational DOORS starts closing all back end, open modules when the application reaches the value set in
MEM_LEVEL_CLOSE. Even after closing all background modules, if the memory used by Rational DOORS is more than the value specified for the
MEM_LEVEL_WARNregistry entry, Rational DOORS shows a warning message. This warning indicates that Rational DOORS is using more memory than the value set as the warning level. An ideal value is 800 to 1600 for a 2GB RAM machine.
MEM_LEVEL_STEP: The default value is 200MB. This value is used to step up the
MEM_LEVEL_WARNlevel at run time. A warning is displayed at run time and at that time you can increase the
MEM_LEVEL_WARNlevel. To override this value, specify a suitable value on the registry entry
MEM_LEVEL_STEPunder DOORS Client > Config.
Note: Consider including instructions for how to respond
to these perms. In some cases, a warning is displayed when DOORS reaches
the value specified as the
MEM_LEVEL_WARN level. At that
point, you have to choose whether to continue or stop the application.
These perms can also slightly affect performance because the memory is
checked and modules are closed at regular intervals. Adjust the settings
by using registry entries so that performance is not affected and your
system does not crash.
This article showed how to use DXL APIs to effectively manage memory when you use DXL scripts in DOORS. Now that you have the APIs, you can monitor the memory used by DOORS. You can take action when the memory used by DOORS reaches the maximum threshold level and thus avoid loss of data due to an abrupt stop of the application.

Alright...sounds good. As for the batteries; take a look at www.kinetixrc.com , www.fukuyamaracing.com , and www.promatchracing.com . Those are all matched GP3300's for great prices.
Sounds good. I'm curious to see what happens.
Well, the Monster Stock has more torque. You have to gear the Binary down a bit. The binary has much better RPM. Overall, most all off-road drivers don't like the binary stock motors, and the...
Sorry, I don't know what setup he was using. If I find out, I'll post it.
The only advantage that diamond has over carbid is that it doesn't need to be sharpened close as often. Carbide bits are fine because remember, we are only cutting one of the softest metals, copper....
Yeah, happy is right. It is pretty standard for racing to be right around 5cm. You are way too high though.
It all depends how long you go without cutting the comm. Because the longer you go w/out cutting it, the more you have to cut the comm down.
I have the Integy/Eagle Racing Mod Fashion lathe. It is the best lathe out on the market for the money. I got it will a carbide bit and carbide v-blocks for $88 brand new. All I needed was a 5v...
I'd have to say stick w/ losi and get a XXX-S G+. The reason I say this is because it has great parst support most everywhere, so if you breaksomething, you can replace it pretty easily.
If you want a new kit, so far, in my opinion, the Xray T1 EVO 2 and the Schumacher Mi2 are the best kits out. Take a look at the Xray though. They are a fairly new company, but they...
Probably around 12 minutes.
Ok, if you want some good priced matched 3300 packs go to www.fukuyamaracing.com or www.promatchracing.com
Yeah, that esc will do great. BEC is the current that it gives to the receiver to power the receiver and the servo(s). There aren't many esc's out anymore that dont have BEC's.
All that sounds pretty good. I am sure that charger will do well.
Let me know if you have any questions,
Well, the Photon isn't a stock motor. Stock motors are only 27 turns, and the Photon is a 20 Turn. The funny thing though is that the Photon is so crappy, that most stock motors will beat it with...
I'd say that would work if you are on a budget. They are great chargers for the money, and I have never hear anyone say anything bad about them! Good luck! :D
Yeah, thats fine too.
It is in the original post. I use only a rear swaybar. Nothing in the front.
Well for carpet racing that should be much different. You want to go to the pretty hard springs. I tried many set ups and this is what I came out with:
-Yellow Springs, 50-55 WT oil
Yeah, the purpose is for the car to "pull" itself more through turns. This way, you don't slip out when giving it throttle around turns.
Yeah, its not roar approved yet to my knowledge. They are alot faster than the monster pro's. A friend at the track got one, played w/ the brush and spring setups, and aligned the brush hoods. We...
Yeah, you usually only see stock (27 turn) and mod classes. It is pretty rare that you see 19T classes. But, you are right, all quad-magnet motors are illegal for sanctioned racing as of now. I'm...
I have this one and like it alot:
It is easy on brushes, and has pretty good performance!
If you want someting faster go with this...
Well it sounds like what you are running is fine. I'm thinking it is just the pavement or where ever you are running. Is it cold? Dusty? There are many things that can make it not hook up.

I don't want my corona sdk projects to be synced to my phone nor my Linux because I only do my corona projects on windows, I don't want to waste bandwidth nor disk space by downloading files on my phone, same story about django, I only do django on Linux, why would i need my django projects on my phone?!
Is there a way to specify what folder to be synced on each OS?

The secret to pulling off bold shades in the real world lies in wearing only one eye-catching colour at a time. Choose one feature to show off, and then stick to neutral, subtle shades for the rest of your face.
Be brave and apply that daring bright cobalt blue eye shadow, but be sure to pair it with a more subdued pink or clear lip gloss. Dying to try that hot new fuchsia lipstick? Balance out your look with a neutral or pastel eye shadow. From seductive smoky eyes to classic red lips, be sure keep this one rule in mind: The more you play up one facial feature, the more you should play down others.

I'm not sure where this problem can be emanating from exactly, however I seem to have run into an interesting issue, where the Ad Injection widgets I use for my separate sub-sites seem to be crossing over.
On one subsite, i use Ad Injection to display a random group of affiliate links through a certain network while on my other subsite (there are many more but these are the two with ads at the moment) uses a google Adsense block. What started happening was that this Google Adsense block started displaying on the first sub site all of a sudden. I went into the widget menu and re-saved settings to fix this, however it seemed to come back later and I had to turn off Ad Injection on the site to keep it from happening again.
Any ideas what may be behind this?

Fall 2016 OPENING DAY is this Saturday August 27, 2015 8:30 – Noon @ Miller Middle School, 6151 Rainbow Drive, San Jose
<<The detailed schedule to be finalized soon>>
General Information
9:00-9:45- Parade (U5-U12)
8:00- Coach Check in & coach package & field layout
8:30- Players arrive, in full uniform and line up for parade
9:50-12:00- Different Activities (see details below)
Play time adventure (3-5 year old) in field#5 in Fun zone --> Need to confirm
9am: U16B-1 vs. U16B-2 -- two 20-minute halves, brief halftime, free subs as normal for U16/U19
10am: U14B-2 vs. U14B-4 -- one 35-minute "half"/"game" with a sub break at the midpoint (simulation of a half of a U14 game)
10:35am - 11:15 am -- SKILLS CHALLENGE:
1) 1 minute Shooter / Keeper 1v1
2) The corner kicker:
A player takes 10 corner kicks in 2 min, ball must be touhing the goal
line, and attempt to score. A goal is by standard definition, must
completely cross the goal line. Top score at the end of the day will
win a prize
3) The longest kicker.
Using the touch line, a player has 3 kicks of the ball as far as he can
down the line on the fly in 2min.. where the ball lands it will be measured
in respect to the Touch line. The amount of error to the touchline is
subtracted from the total. The sum of all 3 kicks is the score total.
The winner of the day gets a prize.
11:15am: U19G vs. U14B-1 -- I'd say again a 35-minute "half"/"game", subs at their discretion (maybe the girls can change on the fly but the boys only at half)

Does .Net Rc1/Rc2 is a separate installation from .Net extended and client profile. Can some explain the difference in the application, MVC or RC1
MVC stands for Model View Controller and is a design framework for web applications. There are two parts, the developer framework and the supporting tools that let you run the web application on your server.
Jon Galloway wrote a blog post about the various ways you can install the server side components:
As barryj states RC stands for Release Candidate so this will be a version that you use to test that your applications will work with the full version of what ever framework/operating system you are interested in.
RC1/RC2 in software terms refers to Release Candidate 1, Release Candidate 2. It's the name given to a software package by the publisher just prior to release, typically after beta releases. It's expected that these will be very close to the final released package. But Release Candidates are not final versions. After Release Candidate, the final release is often referred to as Golden Master or GM.

MILAN An Italy appeals court acquitted three Google (GOOG.O) executives of 2010 charges of having violated the privacy of an Italian boy with autism by letting a video of him being bullied be posted on the site in 2006.
The court's decision, in a public hearing, overturned a previous ruling in 2010 which had sentenced the executives to jail. Reasons for Friday's decision will be made public in 60 days.
"We are very happy that the earlier decision was not confirmed, and that the court of appeals recognised the innocence of our colleagues," said Google policy manager Giorgia Abeltino after the ruling was read.
"Our thoughts are with the boy and his family for the difficult moments they have endured."
Four students at a Turin school uploaded a mobile phone clip to Google Video in 2006 showing them bullying the boy. The prosecutors accused Google of negligence, saying the video remained online for two months even though some Web users had already posted comments asking for it to be taken down.
In February 2010, a court gave each of the three Google executives, none of whom were based in Italy, a six-month suspended jail sentence. Google has said the executives had nothing to do with the upload.
Senior vice-president and chief legal officer David Drummond, former Google Italy board member George De Los Reyes and global privacy counsel Peter Fleischer had not faced actual imprisonment as the sentences were suspended.
The complaint was brought by an Italian advocacy group for people with Down's Syndrome, Vivi Down, and the boy's father.
Vivi Down was a plaintiff because it was named by the boys in the video, a lawyer for the group said. The boy had autism, not Down's, as widely reported during the three years of the case.
Google had said it had removed the video immediately after being notified and cooperated with Italian authorities to help identify the bullies and bring them to justice.
It said that, as hosting platforms that do not create their own content, Google Video, YouTube and Facebook cannot be held responsible for content that others upload.

text: 843 FXUS63 KDDC 201925 AFDDDC Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Dodge City KS 225 PM CDT WED JUL 20 2016 ...Updated Long Term... .SHORT TERM...(This evening through Thursday) Issued at 1230 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 Strong 599 dm upper anticyclone centered over western Oklahoma at midday. Sinking air everywhere with no clouds across the central and southern plains. With an increase in thickness over Tuesday, and excellent mixing from SW winds gusting near 30 mph, all locales will be easily hotter than yesterday. All locations within a few degrees of 100 at peak heating this afternoon. All pops are zero this afternoon and tonight. May see a cumulus or two under the subsident high this afternoon. Another LLJ overnight with SW 850 mb winds near 45 kts. Mixing will keep all locales in the 70s Thursday morning. Thursday...Hot! 598 dm upper high directly over SW KS, with full searing sunshine and few if any clouds. 850mb thermal field near 30C will support afternoon maximum temperatures of 100-105 for all counties. So it will be very hot everywhere. The challenge is determining the amount of (or lack of) dewpoint mixing during the afternoon, and where a heat advisory is required. Feel widespread green vegetation will hold surface dewpoints in the lower 60s during peak heating Thursday, which translates to a heat index of 105-108 across much of the eastern zones for 1-3 hours. In coordination with WFOs GID/ICT have issued a heat advisory for the eastern CWA. With no change in thickness or 850 mb temperatures, allowed the advisory to continue through Friday afternoon. Kept all zones dry Thursday with token pops (<15%), but GFS/NAM/ECMWF all suggest isolated thunderstorms may approach the NW CWA Thursday evening on the NW periphery of the upper high. .LONG TERM...(Thursday night through Wednesday) Issued at 225 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 The heat will continue across SW KS Friday and Saturday, even as high pressure slowly weakens with lowering heights aloft. The heat advisory is scheduled to continue through Friday evening. Triple digit heat expected in all areas Friday afternoon, with the most dangerous heat indices (>105) across the eastern zones. Model guidance has been consistent with suggesting high pressure will weaken enough to allow isolated thunderstorms across the northern zones Friday afternoon. With weak flow aloft and warm mid level temperatures, purposely kept thunderstorm coverage isolated/slight chance (<25%). Saturday...A couple degrees less hot, probably enough to let the heat advisory expire. Prospects for thunderstorms will begin increasing across especially the western counties, as high pressure continues to weaken and modest NW flow begins to reestablish. Sunday...Heat wave expected to break, as 850 mb temperatures cool several degrees, and a weak boundary arrives from the north adding an easterly component to surface winds. Afternoon temperatures will reduce back to near normal. Expect a daily chance of mainly afternoon/evening thunderstorms Sunday through Tuesday. High pressure aloft will remain well west of SW KS, near the Great Basin, during this time, allowing for NW flow and its associated rain chances to continue. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Thursday afternoon) Issued at 1200 PM CDT Wed Jul 20 2016 VFR/SKC through Thursday, with only a few cumulus each afternoon. SW winds gusting near 30 kts this afternoon, diminishing at sunset. Consensus of short term models again develops widespread low level wind shear starting around 06z, with 850 mb winds (LLJ) peaking around 45 kts. No changes Thursday; SKC and no convection with high pressure firmly in control. After 15z Thu, SW winds 15-25 kts at all airports. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Travel around Thailand and be immersed in the intoxicating culture.
Discover the riches of Thailand in this epic trip from north to south. On this adventure we take you from the bright lights and crazy sights of Bangkok city to the serenity of the rainforest, from atmospheric ruins to tropical sun-drenched islands like Ko Samui, Ko Tao and Ko Pha-Ngan. If you're after the idyllic Thailand getaway with the perfect blend of northern adventure and southern relaxation, then this tour is definitely for you.
- Take to the waters of the River Kwai
- Meet locals on a hilltribe trek
- Visit idyllic tropical islands
Day 1 Bangkok
Day 2 Kanchanaburi/River Kwai
Day 3 Kanchanaburi
Day 4 Kanchanaburi
Notes: The raft house has Western style toilets and shared bathrooms with showers. There is an open plan living area that is fully covered and so offers plenty of shade, but the sides are open to take in the views and to feel the breeze while moving down the river. At night time the raft house will be moored, and the living room becomes the sleeping area. Thai style thin mattresses are placed on the floors with sheets provided, and everyone will sleep in the one area. Mosquito nets are also provided. Delicious Thai food will also be served on the raft house.
Day 5 Ayuthaya
Notes: Multi share compartments are air-conditioned, with bunk beds; sheets and a pillow provided. Your baggage travels in the carriage with you. There is a food and drink service available on board.
Day 6 Chiang Mai
Day 7 Chiang Mai
Day 8 Doi Mae Salong
Day 9 Homestay
Notes: The accommodation in the homestay is on a basic multishare basis. There will be foldout mattresses on the floor and shared bathrooms.
Day 10 Hilltribe Trek
Notes: To take the trek you should be fairly fit, as you hike across hilly countryside, and rain or hot, humid weather can pose extra challenges. You'll walk for up to 5 hours each day, but there's no great rush. The terrain is rural rather than jungle – the hilltribes grow rice and other vegetables on the slopes – and you'll trek along village tracks. There's also the possibility of some shallow river crossings. Please note, there may be times during the trek when the use of video and/or still cameras may be inappropriate. Your group leader will advise you further. Each person carries his or her own pack for the whole trek (see the 'What To Take' section for luggage requirements). All meals are included while trekking, but you'll need to purchase and carry your own water (please allow approximately US$10 to cover your water purchase for the trek). Accommodation is multishare, sleeping on your rented roll mats on the floor of the wooden/bamboo huts typical of the villages. There are shared squat toilets and basic washing facilities (a hose or water pipe) in most villages. You may also be able to wash in a nearby stream. Warmer clothing and sleeping bags are recommended from November to January, as the nights are usually quite cool during this period. Sleeping bags can be rented locally – ask your leader to organise this for you at the group meeting.
Day 11 Hilltribe Trek
Day 12 Chiang Rai
Day 13 Chiang Mai
Day 14 Bangkok
Day 15 Bangkok
As this is a combination trip, your group leader and the composition of your group may change at this location. There will be a group meeting to discuss the next stage of your itinerary and you're welcome to attend, as this is a great chance to meet your new fellow travellers.
Day 16 Bangkok / Overnight train
Notes: Sleeper trains are clean and air-conditioned, and beds are multi-share compartments with bunk bed padded berths with sheets, pillow and blanket provided (although some people prefer to bring their own sleeping sheet). Please note that you may be sharing compartments with locals of the same or opposite gender. Your baggage will travel in the carriage with you. There's also a food and drink service available on board.
Day 17 Ko Pha-Ngan
Day 18 Ko Pha-Ngan

I had a great time! It was my first time in Asia and first time travelling alone, Intrepid was the perfect choice for me. I met great people from all over the world, learned a lot about the culture and had a lot of fun. You're able to see things you would never see if you travel by yourself without a local guide. I can warmly recommend it to everybody!

Is black-and-gold merchandise selling as well this year?
Published: Monday, December 27, 2010 at 12:45 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 27, 2010 at 12:45 p.m.
HOUMA -- Last year's playoff run by the Saints spurred a shopping spree not just of NFL gear, but also other black-and-gold and fleur-de-lis goods.
How have sales compared this year? If you're a business owner, are things going as well at your store? As a shopper, are you buying as much? We're writing a story on the topic.
Please give a call to business writer Kathrine Schmidt at 857-2204 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Who's Caring for the Caregiver?
June 7, 2001 -- When Orien Reid found out her mother had Alzheimer's disease, she was devastated. As a result, she had some difficulty processing exactly what the doctor told her about the disease and its treatment.
She's not alone in that reaction. Results of a new survey suggest many caregivers feel exactly as Reid did in 1988 when her mother was diagnosed. Reid is a social worker and is now the chair of the Alzheimer's Association's National Board of Directors.
There's a major kink in the communication line between doctors and caregivers, according to a survey released Thursday at an American Medical Association meeting on Alzheimer's disease, held in New York City.
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain affecting about four million adults. It usually begins gradually, causing a person to forget recent events or familiar tasks, and eventually causes confusion and personality and behavior changes. Estimates suggest that about 14 million Americans will have Alzheimer's by the middle of this century due to the rapidly increasing numbers of Americans living into old age.
More than 90% of 500 primary care doctors surveyed said they give caregivers information about how the disease will affect daily living, but only 28% of almost 400 caregivers surveyed said they received such information. What's more, 91% of doctors said they give caregivers information on available drugs and what to expect from them, but just 41% of caregivers reported actually receiving this information.
"There's a huge gap between what primary care physicians say they are telling family caregivers and what family caregivers say they are hearing -- and all this impacts the treatment and care of a person with Alzheimer's," Reid says. "I suspect that when the diagnosis is Alzheimer's disease, you go into such shock that you can't absorb any more information."
The solution?
"The right information in the right dose at the right time," she says. "If families don't have the information that they need, they miss the opportunity to give proper care to a loved one in this early stage."

Price includes water, 30amp and sewer. One night free for a week (the length of time we stayed). 40% off for the month. Level site. Owner speaks some English though not always available. We picked a site facing the ocean with no obstructions. The view was incredible. Very very quiet as no-one else here but the parking would have been too tight otherwise. Our 34 ft motorhome just fit. Managed to park our dolly and Jeep right beside motorhome. Dead quiet most of the time. Lovely. Fun to watch all the fishing boats but no noise to bother us. Short walk to town. We would definitely stay here again but maybe not good for a bigger rig. - rvbravo2

We have been coming here for over 5 years and are still in love with it. The chili cook off was fun. Love the weekends here with the tacos. Will be coming next year too. Close to everything. - riche2999

I did this with beef and simply threw everything in the slow cooker but also added carrots & zucchini. I love the sweetness the vinegar & sugar gave it, just as if apple or sultana had been added, a lovely mild tasting curry, perfect for kids!
I love this recipe, it's the one thing I love about the cold weather coming. I use brown vinegar instead of apple cider and cook up a cheese & herb bread to go with it.
Very tasty. I cooked this a bit different than written but used the same ingredients. Instead of cooking on the stovetop I cooked in a very slow oven (120C) for about 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Great tasting family recipe which my 11 month old and 3 year old gobbled up. Thanks for a recipe that I will be using again!

Everything was very easy and we were very well received. The apartment is very clean and nice. Just remember to take food and toilet paper;) Obviously, pay attention to electrical outlets. Large French round plugs are unsuitable, are only small.
Tout a été très simple et nous avons été très bien reçus. L'appartement est très propre et agréable. Il faut juste penser à prendre des vivres et du papier toilette ;) Évidement, faites attention au prises de courant. Les grosses prises rondes françaises ne sont pas adaptées, seules les petites le sont.
Annette is very nice, communicate a lot and quickly.
Everything is planned with no problems and everything is designed to make our experience.
Accommodation is perfect, beautiful lake views, large garden, spacious and functional rooms ... in short, nickel.
Annette est très sympa, communique beaucoup et rapidement.
Tout se planifie sans problème et tout est prévu pour nous faciliter l'expérience.
Le logement est parfait, superbe vue sur le lac, grand jardin, chambres spacieuses et fonctionnelles... bref, nickel.
Sympathetic landlord. The apartment is beautifully furnished with a covered balcony on the 2nd floor. There are great many books in all categories. 15 min walk to the old town or 5 minutes by bus. We liked it very well, any time
Sympatische Vermieter. Die Wohnung ist sehr schön mit einem überdachten Balkon im 2. Stock. Dort gibt es super viele Bücher in allen Kategorien. 15 Min zu Fuß in die Altstadt oder 5 Min mit dem Bus. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen, jederzeit wieder
We stayed for 6 days at the apartment. Good spot with nearby metro for different places. Host was on time and welcoming. The air conditioning was undersize for the hot weather and the master bedroom bed needs an upgrade. Apart from that, our stay was nice and the neighbourhood is nice and calm.
We went for a vacation to Florence. During the day we went by bus to the city and enjoyed the beauty and culture. At night we sat in front of our apartment or by the pool soaking up the Tuscan countryside and views. The accommodation was very good, very nice and very friendly. We were allowed to check out a few hours later with no problems. We would definitely come back for a longer break.
We gingen voor een stedentrip naar Florence. Overdag gingen we met de bus naar deze stad en genoten van de schoonheid en cultuur. 's Avonds zaten we voor ons appartement of bij het zwembad te genieten van de Toscaanse natuur en uitzichten. De accommodatie was heel goed, heel gezellig en erg klantvriendelijk. We mochten zonder problemen een paar uur later uitchecken. We willen zeker nog eens terug voor een langere vakantie.
A very nice and clean apartment upscale. On the beautiful large balcony breakfast tasted especially good at the Spanish sun!
Unfortunately, the nearby main road is not noisy but in the background but a bit disturbing.
Environment is generously redesigned and with trees and "green". Underground parking always guarantees a pleasant "cool" car!
Eine sehr schöne und saubere Wohnung der gehobenen Klasse. Auf dem schönen großen Balkon schmeckte das Frühstück bei spanischer Sonne besonders gut !
Leider ist die nahe gelegene Hauptstraße zwar nicht laut aber im Hintergrund doch etwas störend.
Umgebung ist großzügig neu gestaltet und mit Bäumen auch "grün". Tiefgaragenplatz garantiert immer ein angenehm "kühles" Auto !
Very nice house, great location, excellent weather. Very good places to eat nearby. Christian told us that bedding was included but it was not. Booking through Wimdu was very confusing. Charges for water and electricity and Kur tax at the end of the holiday were very high.
So......an enjoyable holiday but expenses were unexpectedly high and booking was difficult.
Excellent accommodation for two persons.Beautiful garden and outdoor verblijf.Dunne duvets / and have used their own pillows !! Everything was beautiful aanwezig.En wandelomgeving.Kontact about key was difficult. We had not given arrival time because we took scenic route and you do not know when your arrival time !! Kontact with Wimdu (German) I have not fully understood and with Interhome a tape (not Dutch) can also no kontact krijgen.Dus and fasting Ms. Hollander home. Henke (very friendly) for driving key.
Prima onderkomen voor twee personen.Mooie tuin en buiten verblijf.Dunne dekbedjes/en heb eigen kussens gebruikt!!Alles was aanwezig.En mooie wandelomgeving.Kontact over sleutel was moeilijk. Wij hadden aankomsttijd niet gegeven omdat we toeristische route namen en je niet weet wanneer je aankomst tijd is!!Kontact met Wimdu(Duits) heb ik niet helemaal begrepen en met Interhome een tape(geen nederlands) ook geen kontact kunnen krijgen.Dus als nuchtere Hollander naar huis van mevr. Henke( erg vriendelijk) gereden voor sleutel.
We were there in may, and we liked it there. Not too crowded. The house and garden were nice. Inside a spartan furniture, but functional
The apartment is very nice, large balcony, great view of the beautiful garden and pool.
Communication with Interhome was very good.
Die Wohnung ist sehr schön, grosser Balkon, toller Blick auf den sehr schönen Garten und Pool.
Die Kommunikation mit Interhome war sehr gut.

America has crossed the insanity line and
is now in un-chartered territory.
The Republican nominee to be, Trump, is more than a scam artist and a buffoon. He's a psychopathic narcissist, and an extremely ignorant man who knows nothing of foreign policy, should never be anywhere near the nuclear codes, and who might appoint some modern-day Caligula to the Supreme Court.
But the Archie Bunkers out there are buying his every word, even though he contradicts his own words seconds after they come out of his mouth. His voters are gobbling up his crap and intentionally ignoring the danger he presents. Or perhaps they are too ignorant to recognize that danger. And that's a really scary scenario.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party is in an ugly war with itself over a left-wing liberal and a slightly-to-the-right centrist. Were the party unified, either candidate could easily defeat the nut with the orange on top, and perhaps help win back the Senate and the house.
If someone wrote a book with this as the plot, it would be turned down by every editor in the publishing business as too far out there.
Yet, here we are, facing this scenario, and it seems that almost half the voters in this country are backing the deranged snake-oil peddler.
We now know the definition of insanity and we've crashed through it into a new world. Emotions have crushed reason, anger and hatred have replaced measured thought. No matter who wins, this ugliness isn't going away anytime soon.
So prepare yourselves for a dark, perhaps violent era. The path toward such an era has been laid. And no matter who becomes president, reconciliation doesn't seem to be at hand.
One request: I may be wasting my time, but I would ask that posts that belong on GD-P don't show up here. Let's see if we can get just a bit of sanity going here to start healing Democratic Underground. After all, if not here, where? If not now, when?
Posted by Cyrano | Sun May 22, 2016, 12:55 PM (49 replies)
Im beyond pissed. Heres why:
A snake oil salesman, Trump, has an actual chance at being nominated and elected president.
The alternative to him is an immense-sized turd named Cruz, who is hated by the entire Republican Party.
There may be enough ignorant/know-nothing/bigots to elect one of these two. (Dont ever again wonder how genocidal maniacs come to power.)
The entire media is busy denying they had anything to do with this grotesque situation.
Many terrified Republicans are falling in line behind Trump just in case he wins.
If Trump or Cruz becomes president, make sure your passport is up to date. (Not that anyplace on this planet would be safe from their insanity.)
But heres what really pisses me off: We Democrats are busy fighting a Bernie/Hillary war. It seems that we are too busy to fight a clear and present danger to our country, (and possibly the survival of this planet).
And this is the one thing that pisses me off than anything else: The incredible stupidity of far too many American voters. Id really like to say, Fuck them." They deserve what they get. The problem is that all the rest of us will get fucked just as badly.
I wish I could suggest some kind of solution. And I guess well have to wait until the election in November to see what happens.
But no matter what happens, the Trump/Cruz voters arent going away. And their toxic hatred will poison American politics for decades to come.

Are we humans an evolutionary mistake?
We humans, as far as we know, are the most advanced species on this planet. Over many millennia, a few members of our species have figured out that we are one small planet orbiting a star, in a universe of countless stars, galaxies, etc. Einstein figured out the speed limit of the universe, and that time and space are a single entity.
Others have discovered cures to diseases, and countless ways in which to heal humans and other living creatures. And still others have figured out so much more about how, and why things work.
Human scientists have discovered and interpreted so much more than most us can even begin to grasp. It really boggles the mind how far human knowledge has advanced with such infinitesimal clues.
Yet, when we look at the behavioral/belief aspects of human beings, we seem to be incredibly childlike, superstitious, and determined to destroy ourselves well before we can reach maturity.
The history of human behavior has demonstrated the genius with which we humans use scientific advancements to destroy other human beings. The most important thing we seem to have learned from the scientific revelations of the past is how to more efficiently kill each other.
And beyond that, we have divided ourselves by geography, color, language, tribes, dogma, and every other imaginable human characteristic.
But this is DU, so let me get to the point. The current primary campaign of the Republican Party is beyond an embarrassment to the human species. Trump? Cruz? The rest? The phrase clown car is totally insufficient, but it was the best we could do. In reality, the term Knuckle Draggers has become an almost meaningless cliché, but more closely describes the GOP lineup of both those who have dropped out and those still running.
Their expressed values, world views, and solutions, are a mountain of bullshit so immense as to require the largest herd of cattle that ever existed to produce it. And, of course, these candidates and ex-candidates know it. Theyre playing to the lowest common denominator of what can charitably be called human intelligence. Theyll say or do anything, anything, necessary to get the nomination.
So let me say this. Given the state of todays Republican Party, I really believe that those with all the traits of Caligula, Mussolini, or worse could be considered viable candidates by the poor ignorant fools who are casting votes or backing them in caucuses. For some insane reason, Fox News has more influence on human thought than the concepts of Galileo, or Stephan Hawking.
It really makes one wonder if the human species is an evolutionary mistake that will go the way of the dinosaurs.
And of course, theres the Dem primary. But this is not the forum to discuss our differences. Ill just say we hold differing versions of a future that is far Superior than anything that can ever be offered to us by a Republican Party that has gone off the deep end.

Advise to DUers: Stay off the DU Primaries Forum
If you haven't posted there yet, don't.
I did my first post today. And right now, I'm not sure whether I'm an antisemitic, communist piece of shit, or a wingnut infiltrator who hates humans and eats kittens.
I can't wait until this election is over. The DU Primaries Forum seems to be a tremendously hate-filled place where otherwise sane Democrats have lost their minds. Any remark or response you post is immediately twisted and used to "prove" that you are either for or against Bernie/Hillary/Whoever. Or perhaps I should say Hillary/Bernie/Whoever. After all, putting someone's name first matters.
My congratulations and best wishes to Skinner et.al. for recognizing that a Primaries Forum was needed. It has isolated a "poisonous strain" from the rest of DU. We all have pockets of hatred within ourselves. In this case, Isolation was a wise, civilized, Democratic idea.

Cruz's "New York Values" is code for Jewish
I spent much of my life in New York. And last week, when Ted Cruz accused Donald Trump of having "New York Values," I heard it as a code word for "Jewish." It seems I'm not alone in hearing this dog whistle. Here's an excerpt from Dana Milbank's column from today's Washington Post.
When Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) last month mocked Donald Trumps New York values, it wasnt entirely clear what he was implying.
This week we got a clue: For Cruz, New York is another way of saying Jewish.
At an event in New Hampshire, Cruz, the Republican Iowa caucuses winner, was asked about campaign money he and his wife borrowed from Goldman Sachs. Cruz, asserting that Trump had upward of $480 million of loans from giant Wall Street banks, said: For him to make this attack, to use a New York term, its the height of chutzpah. Cruz, pausing for laughter after the phrase New York term, exaggerated the guttural ch to more laughter and applause.
But chutzpah, of course, is not a New York term. Its a Yiddish a Jewish one. And using New York as a euphemism for Jewish has long been an anti-Semitic dog whistle.

The media, The Donald and Sarah
A story like this is what you'd expect to see on the tabloids at the check-out counter.
If stupid is a disease, the American Main Stream Media is infected beyond all hope.
Yeah, I know. They've spent many years now covering non-news, and filling air time with the stupidity of pundits interviewing other pundits.
However, treating "Sarah endorses Trump" as serious "News," has finally pushed the "News Business" to the bottom of the sewer.
If they covered this story at all it should have been in whatever section they cover UFO sightings.
Welcome to modern day American politics and the media that covers it.
Perhaps, someday in the future, this current era will be looked back upon as an aberration. An era in which insanity became the norm.
It seems that Orwell's "1984" and Huxley's "Brave New World" missed the actual craziness that has come into being.

Flint Mich.: Drink lead. Die. The kids too.
This is an excerpt from yesterday's rude pundit column. The people of Flint Michigan are drinking imported water because their own drinking water is filled with lead. Imported water is in short supply and the governor of Michigan doesn't give a rat's ass.
Perhaps this excerpt is a vision of the future of a Republican America.
If you go looking for information or updates on the crisis of lead poisoning the water of Flint, Michigan, you'll come across so many stories that make you despair for the treatment of the urban, industrial population in this greatest nation in the history of everything ever. If you're not up on this insane story about the criminal neglect and outright damnation of a poor city, especially its children, by cost-cutting Republicans, Rachel Maddow and her staff have been doing the kind of investigative reporting work that used to be a regular part of our media. If it's too much work to watch Maddow, you can read a quick summary to get up to speed.
The shortest version: budget-cutting, state-appointed emergency managers switched the water supply for Flint from Lake Huron to the polluted Flint River through sheer ignorance and wanton fuckery. By the time anyone listened that the water was poisoned, the chemicals had fucked up the pipes, and they continue to leech lead into the water supply so no one can drink from the faucet. If the state was led by honorable people, they would have lined up and sliced open their own guts with daggers to apologize.
Which gets us to Freeman Elementary School, a pre-kindergarten to sixth-grade public school in Flint and its family fun day, which will be held tomorrow at the school. Of course, it's not going to be just family fun, as a headline from the local paper reveals:
Yes, as the article says, "Children will be able to get their blood tested for lead during a family fun night this week at Freeman Elementary School in Flint." And then, heartbreakingly, "Lead testing is planned for infants up to children six years old, along with water filter giveaways, dance fitness for children, face painting, balloon artist, a free healthy meal, refreshments and raffles."
Think about that. This was supposed to be an event with dancing kids with cat whiskers drawn on their faces, eating healthy food, and winning a damn raffle. Now, it's being used as a chance for parents in one of the poorest cities in the country to see if their state has permanently damaged their kids because that's better than spending a little extra money on water tests or, you know, water safety. And what are they raffling now? Aquafina twelve-packs?

Jeb! Last man standing?
January 2nd, 2016: Election year is here, the primaries are nigh, and every pundit is predicting who the Republican candidate will be.
For some reason, it has struck me that Jeb, even after all his missteps and after all his screw ups, may just turn out to be the last man standing in this race. Heres my thinking on this:
Trump is still #1 in the polls, but the brain-dead people who come out and cheer for him might be the same people who never show up at the polls. And even if some of them do, I just dont believe there are enough to elect this narcissistic head case.
Ben Carsons campaign was over a few weeks ago and it seems that the only one who doesnt know this is Ben Carson.
Carly Fiorina: See Ben Carson.
Ted Cruz has been waiting around for Trump to fall and then pick up all the haters. Once Cruz is the front runner, the media will focus on him, millions of people will learn the fact that the man is a fundamentalist crazy and a first-class prick that no one can stand, and his campaign will die a slow (or perhaps quick) death.
Marco Rubio, it turns out, has a major money backer who is a convicted felon. And Rubios personal financial history leaves the impression that hes inexperienced and sloppy. Not to mention that hes a guy who just doesn't seem ready for prime time.
Chris Christy has gotten the backing of New Hampshires biggest Republican newspaper. But even if he has a good showing in NH, hes gone a bridge too far for most people to support him. And hes got a 5% positive rating in New Jersey. When the people in your home state hate you, it means youre in trouble in other states.
Which leaves us with Jeb! The GOP establishment is comfortable with him and hes a known quantity to most Republican voters. Throughout the entire campaign, hes looked like the Fredo of the Bush family. But my guess is that he may just end up as the Republican candidate. As long as he stays out of rowboats.

Ted Cruz: Be afraid. Be very afraid.
IMO, Trump will soon be gone and Senator Ted Cruz will become #1 in the polls.
A senator is someone who is usually respected (for the most part) by his fellow senators. Yet, from everything I've read, the other 99 senators, (Democrats and Republicans), loathe him. As in: His 99 colleagues really hate his guts.
Imagine what it takes for a senator to earn that kind of venom. But in the case of Cruz, it seems to be deserved.
He's well educated, (a Harvard grad), yet his education has taught him nothing about human interaction, empathy, or basic human decency. The man peddles poison like a 19th century huckster selling snake oil. And in the area of religion, he seems to be following in the footsteps of his fundamentalist father. Cruz's religious beliefs seem to be mostly about hatred.
For the past six months, we've been either laughing at, or fearing Donald Trump. But the real danger in this election is Cruz. And it's necessary for everyone to understand this before the GOP establishment shrugs their shoulders and anoints him as their candidate.
Ted Cruz is dangerous because it's conceivable he can be elected president. And imagine what that would mean in terms of his being "The Commander in Chief", not to mention the kind of people he would appoint to the Supreme Court.
We can't let this happen.
