I am mad as hell | Walter Backstrom
Recently, I received several e-mails accusing me of being an angry black man.
I will admit to being black, and the likely culprit is my parents, so blame them.
However, let's take a look at this anger issue, since black men are always accused of being so angry.
I am angry that Washington state ranks 37th out of 50 states in K-12 education.
I am angry that the United States spends $667 billion on K-12 education, and we score dead last on international tests.
I am angry that parents would rather watch "American Idol" than read to their children.
I am angry that 45 percent of black kids, and other minority kids, drop out of school.
I am angry that a lot of preachers preach on Sunday, and take a pass on Monday.
I will admit I am no biblical scholar. However, I do remember Jesus saying something about going after the one that is lost.
I received an e-mail from my sister, asking why I write such articles. I wrote back to her, saying that my ability to write is a gift from God. It took 20 years to develop. If not me, than who, and if not now, then when?
When I see a problem, I want people to get up and do something about it. If my writing can help, so much the better. We are a good and decent country, even with all our faults. We have people who care. It just doesn't seem that they care enough.
We tweet instead of talk, we e-mail instead of write, and then we expect our neighbors to do our part. Life is not a spectator sport.
I guess if I didn't want to be criticized, I would say nothing and do nothing, then I would be nothing. My response: No thanks.
I will readily admit, no one likes to be criticized. But the approval that I really need is my daughter's and my God's. If I can get that, I'm good.
I love this state, and I am passionate about my community. I just want to make it better for all those who come after me. This place we call America is where my hopes are, my fears are, and where my miracles are. I will continue to advocate for change, fight for what I believe is right and count my blessings.
Oh, there is one other thing I get mad about: People who don't get mad. No excuses.

Car bomb is a wake-up call for all in the Government
Published 12/05/2014 | 02:30
THE discovery of a car bomb is a chilling reminder of the ever-present dangers posed by dissident republican terrorists.
The device, containing 50 pounds of homemade explosives, was found in Lucan by gardai acting on intelligence. It was primed and ready for use.
A similar bomb was found two years ago hidden in the Phoenix Park. It contained 45 pounds of explosives with a kill range of 150 metres.
The main question now is what the terrorists intended doing with this devastating weapon.
News of the find was kept quiet by gardai yesterday, as it coincided with the arrival of the Giro d'Italia in Dublin.
But the initial belief by reliable security sources was that the bomb may have been intended for use in the city to attract maximum world attention.
If it was the case, then it is indeed a chilling development. Such an outrage would seriously damage the country's reputation 16 years after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
Fortunately, the garda's anti-terrorist squad, the Special Detective Unit, has enjoyed considerable success in thwarting dissident terror gangs.
But if the current underlying lack of morale and resources bedevilling the Garda continues, then the terrorists may enjoy a greater level of success.
An escalation of dissident republican activities would have dire consequences for everyone living on this island.

The Jets defense held Colts quarterback Peyton Manning to 15 points in 2 1/2 quarters, but he was just warming up when coach Jim Caldwell pulled the plug. Manning uncharacteristically missed at least two open receivers in the first half for touchdowns (WR Reggie Wayne and TE Dallas Clark), and he went through the Jets defense like a boot through fresh snow on the drive following Brad Smith's club-record 106-yard kickoff return in the third quarter. There was no reason to think that wouldn't have continued as Manning found his rhythm. So while the Jets defense wasn't embarrassed by Manning, it hardly shut him down. And Manning has routinely put up a couple touchdowns in the fourth quarter of close games throughout his brilliant career.
It appears the Jets are going to get the Bengals' junior varsity team for much of Sunday night's showdown, and if they don't win it will be a huge disappointment for this often snake-bitten franchise. At stake: A chance to earn a playoff berth in your own building on prime-time television against backup quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan after being left for dead. If the Jets don't seize this opportunity they need to have a fire sale on their PSLs.
Bengals WR Chad Ochocinco vs. Jets CB Darrelle Revis
Despite Ochocinco's tweets (the pair are actually friends), not sure how legit this matchup will be this time around with the Bengals expected to play their backups for much of the game. It's hard to imagine quarterback Carson Palmer making more than a cameo appearance against the blitz-happy Jets defense.

SymfonyLive London 2014 is gearing up to be the biggest and best yet. Alongside a stellar line up of speakers from across the globe, the event will also host a series of workshops on Thursday 25th September led by industry experts. Each intermediate-advanced workshop is designed to give you hands-on experience with the tools and approaches you need to get the most out of the increasingly popular Symfony.
Without further delay, here's the full workshop line up for SymfonyLive 2014
Full Stack BDD with Symfony2
Led by Marcello Duarte and Konstantin Kudryashov
Many Symfony2 developers have heard about Behat and PhpSpec. However, it can be hard getting started with these tools just from the tutorials and documentation you find online. Come join us for this workshop as we get busy using these tools and dive into real life use, to build beautifully architected, business-oriented Symfony2 applications.
Domain-Driven Design for Symfony Developers
Led by Mathias Verraes and Richard Miller
Domain-Driven Design helps us to tie our domain model to the business. Deep models have great value: they help us build systems that are more relevant. They communicate the meaning to the developers and the stakeholders. DDD can be quite opaque though. The patterns and practices often appear to be nothing but theory. In this session, Richard and Mathias will complement the theory with a practical approach. You'll learn how to discover and evolve your domain model; how design patterns can help you translate it to code; and how you can glue it all together with a dash of Symfony.
Symfony: Into the kernel and back
Led by Jakub Zalas
A journey into the heart of the Symfony framework, explaining internals of the application and http kernels, including the rich event ecosystem. Discover almost unlimited possibilities that come with the framework out of the box, and can be used to extend its default request handling. Finally, learn how to leverage the kernel and the event dispatcher to migrate away from an Old School PHP Spaghetti Project™ to a modern Symfony based application. At the end of this workshop you will gather a better understanding of Symfony internals and will be able to build on the core elements around the Symfony kernel, to gently migrate out from legacy in the direction of a more maintainable project code base.
Places at each workshop are limited and are sure to sell out fast. To guarantee your place and make the most of our early bird discount, grab your ticket now.

Homicide investigators have identified the 20-year-old Jersey City man who was shot dead early yesterday morning near one of the hot spots police say are driving gun violence, officials said.
Joshua Taylor, 20, was found bleeding from multiple gunshot wounds to his upper body on the sidewalk at Lexington Avenue just east of Kennedy Boulevard and he was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:37 p.m., Hudson County Assistant Prosecutor Gene Rubino said last night.
Authorities say the gunman or gunmen opened fire on the victim, who was with a large group of people on Kennedy Boulevard.
Plainclothes Jersey City police officer working with the Prosecutor's Office's Municipal Task Force heard multiple shots coming from the area of Kennedy Boulevard between Oxford and Lexington avenues and when they responded to the area they were directed to where Taylor had collapsed, Rubino said.
Police say Taylor was part of a large group on Kennedy Boulevard when he was shot and he ran toward Lexington Avenue, where he finally collapsed, Rubino said.
"The Jersey City Police Department and Prosecutor's Task Force were deployed in this area to address concerns of possible violence," Jersey City Public Safety Director James Shea said. "It seems clear that this shooting was not happenstance, but rather targeted specifically toward this individual or individuals."
Neighborhood residents expressed fear and anger in the aftermath of a fatal shooting.
One Lexington Avenue resident, who declined to give his name, had just returned home from work and was eating at his kitchen table when he heard "between four and five" gunshots. He said he looked out his window about five minutes later and saw Taylor on the ground, but still moving.
"He wasn't dead yet, not when I first saw him," the man said.
Another man who lives on Lexington and also declined to give his name but said he's noticed what seems like an uptick in criminal activity on the street in recent weeks.
"It didn't used to be like this," he said.
A. Smith, a neighborhood resident who declined to give her first name, said investigating police officers spent more than an hour on Clendenny Avenue, one block away from Lexington, looking through garbage containers and walking the spaces in between houses.
"It was trash night, and they were looking through everyone's garbage," said A. Smith, who also noted the increase in violence in the neighborhood.
"Not a week goes by that you don't hear gunshots," Smith said. "I was just saying, last night, that things seemed quiet. And then — gunshots...This used to be a good place to feel safe, on (Kennedy) Boulevard. Not anymore."
The shooting took place just a block away from the corner of Bergen and Lexington avenues — one of seven locations where police are beefing up their presence to quell gun violence they say is stemming from drug trafficking and street disputes.
Three blocks from the site of yesterday morning's shooting, Jersey City Police Det. Melvin Santiago was ambushed and killed last month at a Walgreens pharmacy on the corner of Communipaw Avenue and Kennedy Boulevard.
No arrests have been made in connection to Taylor's homicide.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Homicide Unit at (201) 915-1345 or by email at email@example.com. All contacts will be kept confidential.

Related coverage: Washtenaw County home prices up 18 percent in strong year for housing market
A 15-acre property with frontage along the Huron River in Ann Arbor Township and a seven-bedroom, 10,200-square-foot mansion in Lodi Township were among the most expensive homes sold in Washtenaw County last year.
High-end home sales are on the rise in Washtenaw County, with 16 sales of $1 million-plus homes last year at an average sale price per square foot of $269.
That compares to 13 homes at $259 per square foot in 2012, and six homes at $211 per square foot in 2011.
""You're seeing a shift into the higher price points," said Realtor Martin Bouma of Keller Williams.
Low supply and high demand are driving multiple offers on high-end homes for the first time in years, said local Realtor Elizabeth Brien of the Charles Reinhart Company. Brien said at the bottom of the market in 2009, there was about a seven-year inventory of houses priced at more than $1 million dollars. Today, she said inventory is about 12 to 18 months.
"There's just not that much out there; the inventory has really kind of dried up for choices. And homes definitely have appreciated in value," she said.
Washtenaw County's housing market is improving across all price ranges; the average home sale price was $248,601 in 2013, an 18 percent increase over 2012, and a 36 percent increase over 2009 when the average sale price was $182, 287.
The 10 most expensive homes sold in Washtenaw County last year ranged between $1.95 million for a home on Pleasant Lake in Lodi Township, and $1.095 million for a house on Holden Drive in Scio Township.
The sale prices per square foot range between $513 for a house on a 15-acre property near the Huron River, and $182 for a home on Cobble Lane in Webster Township.
Here are the top 10 most expensive homes sold in Washtenaw County in 2013:
- 3929 Pleasant Lake in Lodi Township: This seven-bedroom, 10,200-square-foot home sold in November for $1.95 million. The home was built in 2002 and sits on a 10-acre property.
- 2225 Belmont in Ann Arbor: Built in 1950, this home sold for $1.3 million in December. It sits on 1.97 acres and has an assessed value of $467,300.
- 1430 Granger in Ann Arbor: A six-bedroom home in the Burns Park neighborhood sold for $1.25 million last year.
- 1205 Country Club Road in Ann Arbor Township: The appeal of this 1940s ranch in Ann Arbor Township is the property: 15 acres of land with frontage along the Huron River. The property sold for $1.16 million.
- 5800 Cobble Lane in Webster Township: This "equestrian country estate" on a 21-acre property sold last year for $1.15 million. It's a six-bedroom home that was built in 2005.
- 1001 Berkshire Road in Ann Arbor: Built in 2000, this two-story, five-bedroom home in the Ann Arbor Hills neighborhood sold for $1.15 million. It has an assessed value of $490,300.
- 540 Barton Shore in Ann Arbor Township: A three-level home with a view of the Huron River sold in 2013 for $1.135 million. It sits on 1.05 acres and has three bedrooms.
- 6445 Warren Road in Superior Township: This four-bedroom home on a 10-acre property in Superior Township sold for $1.13 million.
- "I had three offers on it," Brien said. "People have money. I think still, the buyers are going to be conservative to a point where they have to feel it is priced well, but if it's in a great area, it's going to sell."
- 3221 Heather Road in Lodi Township: Built in 2012, this six-bedroom home on the golf course at Travis Pointe Country Club sold for $1.1 million.
- 3978 Holden Drive in Scio Township: A five-bedroom home on Holden Drive sold for $1.095 million, or $238 per square foot. It has an assessed value of $474,600.
"This six-bedroom home features a grand entry that opens into the large living room with a brick fireplace and hardwood flooring," the listing says. "The cozy den looks out onto the fenced back yard with a magnificent mature shade tree and large raised patio."

Most of the U.S. gained economic ground at the start of 2014, according to the Federal Reserve's latest check-in.
The Fed's periodic "Beige Book" says the West Coast improved modestly from late December through mid-February, but wintry weather hampered growth in the East. The report lists anecdotal evidence to make its case.
While it's short on specifics, it points to the general health of the economy. Here are five takeaways from the Fed's 12th district, which covers nine western states including Oregon.
- Sales slowed after the holiday season, but retailers were upbeat about consumer spending in 2014, particularly on cars and home furnishings.
- Pay kept climbing for software developers and computer engineers. Wages were flat for most other occupations.
- High-tech manufacturers expect semiconductor sales to grow "modestly" this year. Sales of electronic parts are starting to recover.
- The wintry weather hobbled supply chains, and cut into wood and steel sales in the West. Steel prices also fell because of weaker demand in Asia.
- Home prices continued to rise across the West, though at a slower rate than in 2013.
- Oregon's 'slow and steady' recovery marks first month of 2014 on 7-month hiring streak- The Oregonian
- A lackluster start to the year- Economist's View
- Fed's Williams still expects 2.5%-3% growth this year- The Wall Street Journal
- Oregon job ads heat up in February, but Portland wasn't much help- The Oregonian

|On the level of overall social theory thinking, there have been only very few thinkers in the past decades who have conceived a theory that contain detailed analysis in terms of several social spheres. The French Pierre Bourdieu and the German Niklas Luhmann are definitely two of the few, and their impact can be shown, albeit the approach applied is different in each scientists' community, all over the world in social science analyses. Having dug himself into the works of both sociologists, one will soon reveal that these two theories show similarities in several respects, and also find points of departure totally different from each other. This paper attempts to describe some of the differences and some of the similarities between the theories of Luhmann and Bourdieu.

Update: More than 100 Kent County inmates transferred to other jails after Friday crane collapse
GRAND RAPIDS -- The long-term impact of a crane collapse Friday at the Kent County jail -- an accident that left three people with minor injuries -- could take days or longer to determine, jail officials said.
"We are going to have a full evaluation of the buildings," said Kent County Undersheriff Jon Hess.
The $27 million jail expansion was supposed to be completed next year.
Kent County Administrator Daryl Delabbio on Friday said that for now, he's assuming responsibility for the accident rests with the construction company.
The general contractor on the site is Owen-Ames-Kimball Co., known as OAK.
Authorities believe a cable snapped on the crane, causing it to buckle in several places, with part of the boom crashing against an area of new construction and another part falling backward into a vehicle fleet maintenance building for the sheriff's department.
One construction worker was apparently hit by the snapping cable while two inmates in the fleet garage were hit by glass and debris as they ran for cover. No one was serious injured.
Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration investigators were at the scene Friday, trying to figure out what went wrong.
Hess was in a meeting at the sheriff's department, which overlooks and crane, when he heard a huge boom.
"All of the sudden the power went out and there was a huge crash," he said. "We were pretty certain right away it was the crane."
Hess said the collapse shook the jail and sheriff's building.
Other construction workers were in the area and seven or eight sheriff's staff were in a break room in the fleet building, but the managed to escape injury.
"By the grace of God nobody was repairing a car at the time it happened," he said.
Hess said he expects the jail structure and sheriff's department to be checked for any structure problems caused by the collapse, as well as a large radio tower that stands next to the jail.
COMPLETE COVERAGE: Construction crane collapses onto buildings at Kent County Jail in Grand Rapids
The accident forced jail staff to move something less than 200 inmates from an older section of the jail to a newer portion because of damage to heating and water lines that served that older portion.
It wasn't immediately clear when the utilities would be restored and he said construction workers were "working feverishly to get that up and running."
Hess said moving the inmates did not cause any problems.
The fleet service building dates to 1956 and Hess expected it to be unuseable for up to two months to make repairs.
Delabbio, the county administrator, said the accident obviously sets back the timeline for construction but said it likely won't be known by how much until next week, when the matter is fully reviewed.
"That assessment is taking place right now," he said.
Kent County Sheriff Larry Stelma said he was glad the main jail building was not breached in the accident.
He said Friday the outcome could have been much worse and he was glad no one was seriously hurt.

The U.S. Justice Department has entered the debate over the NYPD's stop-and-frisk practice, urging a judge to appoint an independent monitor if she rules the practice unconstitutional
"It is the position of the United States that, should the Court find the NYPD's stop-and-frisk tactics are unlawful, the Court has wide discretion to enter injunctive relief aimed at bringing any practice it finds to be unlawful into compliance with the U.S. Constitution and other laws," the Justice Department wrote in a "Statement of Interest."
The 21-page Statement of Interest -- filed just before midnight on Wednesday in Federal District Court in Manhattan -- said the "injunctive relief may include the "appointment of an independent monitor."
But the Justice Department did not offer itself as a monitor.
"The United States files this Statement of Interest only in order to assist the Court on the issue of remedy, and only should it find that NYPD's stop-and-frisk tactics are unlawful," the statement read.
Wednesday was the last day to file legal briefs in a federal trial on the stop-and-frisk tactics, according to the Daily News, which first broke the news in an exclusive report.
The trial ended in May after two months of testimony.
Federal Judge Shira A. Scheindlin is expected to rule on whether stop-and-frisk is illegal. If so, she would appoint the monitor.
In its Statement of Interest, the Justice Department cited successful cases of court-appointed monitors in Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Detroit.
"There is significant evidence that unlawfully aggressive police tactics are not only unnecessary for effective policing, but are in fact detrimental to the mission of crime reduction," it reads.
"Officers can only police safety and effectively if they maintain the trust and cooperation of the communities in which they work, but the public's trust and willingness to cooperate with the police are often damaged when officers routinely fail to respect the rule of the law."
Sources told the Daily News that Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly were "outraged."
The News couldn't reach either for comment.

Latia L. Seward, 21, told police that she was arguing with Meyette, her live-in boyfriend. Seward said she told Meyette she was leaving and he then grabbed her cellphone and smashed it on the floor. He then threw a piece of the shattered phone at her, Seward told police.
She said Meyette grabbed her hair and slammed her head into a coffee table. Seward's brother, Jacob Seward, who also lived there, came downstairs and pulled Meyette off of his sister, she told police.
Meyette started swinging at Jacob Seward, who grabbed a baseball bat and struck Meyette with it once, Latia Seward said. Meyette then went into the kitchen, grabbed a knife and threatened to stab Jacob Seward with it, Latia Seward told police.
Jacob Seward handed the bat to Meyette and said the conflict was done, then went to leave with his sister, she said.
"I had one foot off the porch and I heard Jacob screaming," Latia Seward said. "Patrick stabbed him in the back as he was walking out the door."
The 52-year-old male neighbor who called 911 said he was coming home from hunting when he saw Jacob Seward run toward him with a knife sticking out of his back. The neighbor retrieved his shotgun from his truck, loaded it and held it to protect himself and Seward, he told police.
Seward was taken to Hurley Medical Center in Flint. After surgery, he gave police much the same account as his sister did, saying he grabbed the bat to defend his sister and that Meyette stabbed him in the back as he was walking away, according to police reports.
Meyette told police Jacob Seward attacked and punched him first, then began beating him with a bat. He said he retreated to the kitchen and, being scared for his life, grabbed a knife and stabbed Seward.
Police wrote in their reports that Meyette had a bloody nose, a bruised eye and blood in his mouth, though paramedics at the scene said nothing appeared to be broken. Police arrested Meyette.

On Sunday, October 5th, many Greater Clevelanders witnessed a moment in Serbian History! The Serbian Cultural Garden - the newest Cultural Garden along Martin Luther King Boulevard - was dedicated with great dignity and elegance. Former Plain Dealer President and Publisher, Alex Machaskee,, was not only the Master of Ceremonies for the event but the key driving force that made the new garden possible. The committee formed to raise the necessary funds - $225,000 - worked long and hard with the assistance of Lex Machaskee. About $200,000 has been raised and efforts continue, however, the Garden's key components are almost totally completed. The new garden is adorned with four pedestal-mounted busts of important persons in the history of Serbia, a winding path to reach them, and a low-rise central marble monument inscribed with the cross and four "C's" of the Serbian national flag. During the event, Alex Machaskee read a letter from the President of Serbia expressing his congratulations and those of the people of Serbia.
Among the dignitaries present for this moment in Serbian history were: His Eminence Bishop Christopher of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the Charge D'Affairs of the Serbian Embassy, the Serbia Consul General of Chicago, U.S. Senator George V. Voinovich, Mayor Frank Jackson, Councilwoman Sabra Pierce Scott (Ward 8), and Paul Burik, Cleveland Cultural Garden Federation President. There were also several members of the Greater Cleveland Consular Corps - including Ingrida Bublys (Lithuania) and Dr. Zvone Zigon (Slovenia) - and other representatives of the Cultural Garden Federation. The Kosovo Men's Choir sang several choral selections and the Morava Serbian Folk Dance Ensemble led a long line of dedication participants in a traditional Serbian Kolo Folk Dance along the winding paths of the new garden. Many people also participated in the ceremonial planting of a Serbian pine tree and tossed soil at the base of tree with great joy.

Steven Retchless Is America's Pole Fitness Champion
This is pole fitness, not pole dancing, people. Because one implies what your brother's Vegas bachelor party looks like, and the other is an athletic event requiring ridiculous strength in what my trainer keeps telling me is my "core." Steven "Princeton" Retchless (which is shortened to "Stretchless"; awesome) holds the title of the first-ever Male American Pole Fitness Champion, beating out the competition in October. Yes, this is a real thing. Let's watch him rehearse! Perform! And — in that third video, my favorite — pull it all off in some monster heels. Can we please petition to make this an official Olympic sport?
Here's a look at the rest of the first annual competition:
There's more of Steven if you're interested.
The only way this could ever be eventually accepted and televised will be for women to put out a PR campaign that they think it's athletic and makes men sexy as hell, 'cause initially it will make str8 guys uncomfortable and grossed out, hence they will immediately coin it "faggy" & tv execs will respond in kind. So it's up to our str8 sisters!Dec 5, 2010 at 2:40 pm · @Reply ·
Most men spend hours watching other men in tight-fitting pants tackle each other on the football field. They aren't watching the cheerleaders for hours, they're watching other MEN play with each other. If they were so "uncomfortable and grossed out" by the male body they would be watching women's figure skating.
Wow…he's great. So sexy.
By the way, all the ladies are awesome too. They're all so beautiful. I've never thought Pole dancing can be that so beautiful :)
@Kieran: Those men in those sports of which you speak are also heavily padded to hide the natural beauty of the upper torso, and if you pay attention sportscasters rarely show any close up butt shots of football players (they almost always pan from the midsection up), only from a distance.
Not as impressive (and yummy) as Eike von Stuckenbrok.
Try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WXVmPYgxkA&feature=related but that's not his pole routine. I've seen him on a pole, spread out like a flag with arms fully extended, parallel to the floor. Yikes!
that was really difficult and beautiful
@Ian: I'm fairly certain they're padded to protect their bodies, but that was a fun comment anyway. : )
Those helmets sure do hide their pretty faces, too.
It would interest me if he didn't dance just like a woman.
Good for him!
DOWN WITH GENDER CONFORMITY….be you…be proud…and stop listening to f8cking conservatives who demand we all act accordingly to their comfort zone. NO. Some men do ballet, some woman lift, we are a huge world and should NOT supress our interests and hobbies to dumbass "gender appropriate norms" set by insecure people.
What? no "straight acting" gay men wanna ridicule him? tell us how we should all act the same, demand we all behave exactly as YOU wish for us to, all while shoving it down our throats how "str8 acting" you are? You're loosing your touch you O so masculine gay men. Guess you're busy amidst spitting contests and having sex with girls and stuff….
@Ian: I dunno. It depends on how you play it. Pole can be sexy and sensual, but it can also be a great full-body workout with no bum wiggling in sight – and it's possible to craft a great routine in that style too.
When I was going to mixed pole classes (admittedly a few years ago now), I'd estimate that about half of the guys there were gay, but that pretty much everyone was there because it's fun and good exercise. (It was very much a pole fitness class.)
Pole does still have an image problem, but it's increasingly accepted as a way to work out for women, and people like Steven Retchless and Josiah Grant, through performing at competitions like this and on YouTube, are making it more acceptable for men too. You're definitely right that the female attention (and these guys seem to get a *lot*) helps though. :)
He pole dances like a woman. I am not attracted to women.
@ Aaron in Honolulu… so lets see your pole dancing video. He dances very well on the pole… its dancing.. not porn!
@Aaron in Honolulu: Shouldn't you be busy fighting the IGNORANT ASS Polynesians in your state who took all your rights away from you instead of licking their asses by acting "straight"?
Would rather visit Iraq than Hawaii…where the craziest religious zealots reside!
It's a sleazy form of gymnastics.
@SteveAtlanta: Haha. Most people in Hawaii are Asians, not Polynesians. Democratic Gov. Abercrombie was recently elected into office and is planning to pass the civil unions bill. I think we'll be fine. I could care less if you came to Hawaii or not. lol
Um….I LOVE IT.
He does choreography and teaches classes. The women in video where actually in a class. Some of that feminity was for class. I take pole fitness classes. He makes it looks so easy and effortless. Just that move climbing the pole is a lot harder than it looks. He is amazing!!
btw…what is the name of that song?? duh I know. (dance dance dance…..)
@DC05 I couldn't agree more.
Steven's pole dancing is the sexiest and most beautiful thing I have ever seen. I do wish more straight men would try it. Because it definately gets me going :)

India test fires ballistic missile
Press TV | May 09, 2007
India has successfully tested an indigenously-built nuclear-capable ballistic missile from a defense base in an eastern coastal state.
The Prithvi-1 (Earth 1) surface-to-surface missile was fired Wednesday from the Integrated Test Range at Chandipur, 200 kilometers (125 miles) from Orissa's state capital Bhubaneswar, AFP reported.
The 8.5-meter-long (28-foot) missile with a range of up to 250 kilometers can carry a one-tone conventional or nuclear warhead and travel 150 kilometers in five minutes.
The test was "part of a continued effort to improve the indigenously-developed missile", said an official at the government's Defense Research and Development Organization (DRDO) on condition of anonymity.
It is designed for battlefield use against troops or armored formations, he said.
Nuclear-capable India and Pakistan -- which have fought three wars, two of them over the disputed Himalayan territory of Kashmir -- routinely carry out missile tests and normally notify each other in advance. They test fired series of their missiles in March and April.
The Prithvi is India's first locally-built ballistic missile, and one of five being developed by New Delhi, along with the Agni, Trishul, Akash and Nag.
Two other variants of the Prithvi, with a strike range of between 250 and 350 kilometers, will be handed over to the navy and air force once tests are completed, said an official.
Last month, India tested the Agni-III, an intermediate range ballistic missile which can reach the Chinese cities of Beijing and Shanghai.

Oswego, NY - The Oswego City School District's proposed 2008-09 budget was rejected for the second time tonight by a vote of 1,666-1,133.
The revised $67.1 million spending plan would have increased the anticipated tax rate by 5.81 percent, or $21.87 per $1,000 assessed value.
It also called for putting the following positions back into the budget: two art teachers, two music teachers, one physical education teacher and a librarian at the elementary schools, and a technology teacher and three hall monitors at the high school. The original budget had proposed cutting 27.5 jobs.

|Doreen Virtue, Stanton Friedman
Spiritual clairvoyant Dr. Doreen Virtue returned to the show, to share her insights about Crystal and Indigo children, as well as Angels. Indigos, who are sometimes misdiagnosed with ADHD, are typically aged 13 to mid-20's, often have problems with authority, and seek out integrity, she detailed. The Crystal children, born starting in the 1990's, are more docile and forgiving, she said. They shows signs of telepathy, have a role as peacekeepers, and may be misdiagnosed as autistic because they are often using telepathy instead of speaking, she added.
"I think we're seeing an evolution in progress and the medical community isn't keeping up," said Virtue who mentioned that the generation that will be born after the Crystal children, starting around 2012, will be called the Rainbow children. Some "scouts" have already been born, and she has met several, describing them as "saint-like" and "more interested in giving than receiving."
Angels, she stated, are non-denominational, cross-cultural archetypeswho are "benevolent spiritual helpers." They can be readily summoned for healing or help, simply by calling out "Angels please help me," and then sincerely asking for what you need. Interestingly, she noted that angels generally can't intervene unless they've been asked. "Otherwise their wings are tied," she quipped. In some cases angels will offer guidance, but you have to listen and act on their suggestions, Virtue said, detailing how she received an angelic warning one hour before she was carjacked.

annual (plant)
An annual is a plant that completes its life cycle, from seed germination to seed production, followed by death, within a single growing season. Examples include sweet pea, sunflower, cereals, peas, and tomatoes. Annuals overwinter as seeds. Preventing seeding may convert an annual, e.g., mignonette, to a biennial or a perennial.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Chicago White Sox first baseman started a four-day rehab assignment with the Birmingham Barons Thursday night, and said he's excited to get back into a baseball game and face live pitching after battling a back injury.
Konerko has been on the disabled list since July 3 with back soreness. Konerko said this week's assignment is only the second time in his 17-year career he's had to rehab an injury at a minor-league park and the first since 2008.
The slugger said he's been taking batting practice and working out, but he's ready to see some live pitching again. Konerko, a six-time MLB All-Star, is expected to play designated hitter most of his four-game stint, but may play first base one game, he said.
"It's been a month since I've been consistently playing every day, now, but it seems like a year," he said. "I'm a baseball player, so I'm looking forward to being back out here and being in a game."
The White Sox captain has been fighting back soreness since late June, and took several days off before going 0-for-4 in a game against Baltimore on July 2. The White Sox, who were in last place in the American League Central Division Thursday, 14 games behind Detroit, didn't want to rush him back into the lineup, especially after he struggled in that game.
"After that episode I think for sure that the last thing I want to do is make it through these four games and then show back up in Chicago and not be ready to play every day," he said.
Konerko, who's a career .284 hitter, hit .249 with seven home runs and 30 RBI before going on the disabled list.
Batting fourth in the Barons' game against Chattanooga Thursday, Konerko flied out to right field in his first at-bat and got an RBI single in his second appearance. He's expected to play through Sunday. Friday's game starts at 7:05 p.m., Saturday's game starts at 6:30 p.m. and Sunday's game is slated for a 3 p.m. start.

News service reports
Corey Brown and Michael Aubrey broke open a tie game with back-to-back homers in the seventh that powered the Syracuse Chiefs (37-45) to a 4-2 win over the Buffalo Bisons Monday at Alliance Bank Stadium.
Relievers Jeff Mandel and Zech Zinicola dealt two scoreless innings after the two home runs to close out the win.
The Chiefs built a 2-0 lead through the first six innings on two sacrifice flies. After a Steve Lombardozzi single and a Matt Antonelli double with one out in the third, Jesus Valdez lobbed a fly ball to deep centerfield that allowed Lombardozzi to come home. Then in the sixth, Valdez reached on a single and advanced to third on a fielding error by Bisons third baseman Zach Lutz.
Chiefs catcher Jesus Flores came up to bat and popped a fly ball to rightfield that brought Valdez home for the 2-0 lead. Syracuse starter Yunesky Maya dealt six scoreless innings with just three hits and looked as if he would continue that dominance in the seventh.
He walked the first Bisons batter and struck out the next two, but Buffalo quickly turned it around. Bubba Bell knocked a double to left that moved Valentino Pascucci to third. Maya walked the next batter before Luis Hernandez lined a pinch hit single up the middle.
Pascucci scored easily and Bell just beat the throw home to even the game at 2-2. The game turned over to each teams' bullpen following that small burst from the Bisons.
Atahualpa Severino drew a popout to end the seventh on just two pitches before Buffalo trotted out Dale Thayer in the bottom of the frame. The Bisons righty struck out Jeff Frazier to start the inning, but Brown broke the tie with a full count home run to right centerfield that put the Chiefs up 3-2. Aubrey then stepped to the plate and blasted another homer over the rightfield wall to double Syracuse's lead.
Thayer did recover to get two more strikeouts and end the inning, but the Chiefs bullpen shut down Buffalo's offense the rest of the way. Jeff Mandel took over in the eighth, allowing a one-out single to Nick Evans. The Bisons leftfielder advanced to third on a past ball and a groundout from Pascucci, but Mandel ended the inning unscathed with a strikeout of Michael Fisher.
Thayer retired the Chiefs in order in the bottom of the frame before Zech Zinicola took the mound for the save opportunity. He struck out Zach Lutz and induced a popout from Bubba Bell before walking Mike Nickeas. But Zinicola stranded Bell at first with a strikeout of pinch hitter Jason Botts to give Syracuse the 4-2 win.
The Chiefs and Bisons play again today at 7 p.m. Syracuse righty Brad Meyers will toe the rubber against Buffalo righthander Dylan Owen.

Ratcheting up the stakes, Iran is begging, pleading for war.
Iran's Nuclear Issue Cannot Be Solved Through Escalation: UN Nuclear Chief
Yeah, agreed, so who is doing the escalating genius? Give 'em another Nobel Peace prize!
LONDON [MENL] -- Iran has completed a huge military exercise that tested Teheran's ability to attack Western shipping and Arab oil facilities in the Gulf.
Western diplomatic sources said that in December 2005 Iran completed its largest military exercise in years. The sources said the military conducted an air and sea exercise designed to test capabilities to strike U.S. and Arab targets throughout the Persian Gulf.
"The exercise was meant to show the West that Iran could stop all oil shipments in the Gulf and destroy numerous oil facilities in Gulf Arab countries," a diplomatic source said.The exercise included a range of fighter-jets and helicopters from the Iranian Air Force. The navy contributed surface vessels and submarines.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards chief warned the United States and Britain that Iran would respond with its missiles if attacked, a clear threat to Israel which lies within easy range of such a launch. [CBS News]
Two important developments here:
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will meet in London on Monday with counterparts from Britain, China, France, Russia and Germany to discuss Iran.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is to hold a special meeting on Iran on Thursday and the United States is strongly pressing for the case to be referred to the UN Security Council.
Burns indicated that the administration believed it had enough votes to succeed.
UPDATE: January 29th FACE THE NATION INTERVIEW;
SCHIEFFER: Can the United States allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon?
PRESIDENT BUSH: The Free World cannot allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon, not just the United States, but those of us who value freedom, and that is why our strategy is to present and--and—and hold together a united front to say to the Iranians your designs to have a nuclear weapon or your desire to have the capability of making a nuclear weapon is unacceptable. It's very important that we speak to two groups: One is the government, and also the people. And in speaking to the people, my message is this: You know, we're not going to tell you how to live your life, but we would like you to be free. We would like you to be able to express yourselves in the--in the market--in the--in the open--in open, so without fear of reprisal. We want you to be able to vote and elect. And--but to the government, our message is, is that if you want to be a part of the family of nations, give up your nuclear weapons ambitions. Now, one of the things we have done is they have said they want to be able to have a civilian nuclear capacity, we want to be able to have our own nuclear power plant, and we've said we understand that. But because you're a nontransparent government, because you've openly stated your desire to destroy one of our allies, that you should be able to have a plant, but the--the--the uranium for running that plant will come from Russia, and Russia will provide the--provide the fuel, you will burn the fuel, and Russia will collect the fuel under IAEA safeguards.

Floats, bands and other marching and riding units will join the Daffodil Festival royalty for the 80th annual Grand Floral Parade this Saturday.
Among the festival princesses from 24 high schools in Pierce County are Annelise Litzenberger of Eatonville, Amy Bernstein of Graham-Kapowsin and Noelle Kaku of Bethel.
The parade will wind through four cities, starting in Tacoma at 10:15 a.m., Puyallup at 12:45, Sumner at 2:30 and Orting at 5. It will be filmed in Puyallup and aired on KONG-TV at 7:30 Saturday night. The festival originated in 1934 as a celebration of the agriculture industry in the Puyallup and Sumner areas. It grew to include the parade as a celebration involving thousands of spectators and participants from communities throughout Pierce County and beyond.

Before the season started, I wrote another Are you jellin'? post about the importance of consistency along the offensive line. I'll try to make this a regular feature throughout the season, monitoring the performance of the O-line along the way.
The offensive line's performance has probably been the most talked about issue so far this season. It's clear that the line has not jelled.
I previously warned against too much shuffling on the O-line. But the coaching staff has barely given the line a chance to jell.
The guard spots have been a mess. Johnnie Troutman and Matt Stankiewitch have both seen significant playing time at left guard. Same with Lou Eliades and Quinn Barham at the right guard spot.
It's the way the coaching staff has shuffled players that bothers me. For the first two games, coaches did not play one pair of guards in the first half, then another in the second. Instead, they substituted guards throughout the game.
At one point during the Syracuse game, I'm pretty sure I noticed Barham replacing Eliades in the middle of a series.
After this year's game against Syracuse, starting center Stefen Wisniewski told reporters, "That's definitely not helping, just rotating guards in there…when they bring in the other guys it does mess up a little bit of the camaraderie."
It reminded me of a quote Levi Brown gave while talking about the underwhelming 2006 O-line: "A lot of guys are feeling like if [they] mess up, then [they] will be taken out and things like that, and we've just got to get over that."
I'm afraid that during the first two games, instead of playing to win a starting spot, guys were playing not to get pulled. At least part of the blame should fall on the coaching staff. Coaches may have been too quick to pull the trigger during games. Experimentation is better left for practice.
The line performed better during the Temple game, especially on run blocking. Troutman played almost the entire game at left guard. Eliades still appears to have the edge over Barham at right guard. But while the staff may have found the right mix of starters, there has been no chance for jellin'.
What to watch for against Iowa
I've noticed that the line has had some success on run plays where one of the guards or tackles pulls and lead blocks for the runner. On Evan Royster's rushing TD against Akron, Eliades pulled from the right guard spot to block for Royster, who was running over the left tackle. On Royster's TD against Temple, Dennis Landolt moved from the left tackle position over to the right side and cleared out a linebacker.
It seems like a good strategy for an inexperienced and potentially soft line. Keep an eye out for more against the Hawkeyes stingy run defense, especially when Penn State enters the red zone.

The memory of the early morning of Oct. 11, 2009 remains a nightmare for Crystal Rivera.
That was when her fiancé, 20-year-old Bryan Davis, the father of her then 16-month-old daughter, was fatally shot after answering a knock on the front door of their house in the 1600 block of Thompson Street in Harrisburg.
Rivera's agony was evident Tuesday morning as she testified before a Dauphin County jury during the trial of Sadiki Lawrence, 27, the city man accused of Davis' slaying.
Rivera said she knew that Davis, her high school sweetheart, was a drug dealer. He told her little about his illicit business, she said, but she realized its risks.
"I knew about it, but he'd rather not put me in the middle, be involved in it," she said.
Rivera said she and Davis were alone in their home just before 2 a.m. on the morning of the murder when she heard a knock on the door.
"I told him to go downstairs and come right back up," she said, bursting into tears.
She said she didn't hear any commotion or conversation, but heard what sounded like a plate or glass falling to the floor and breaking.
"I got up and I screamed, 'Babe, are you OK?'" Rivera recalled.
"He didn't respond to me, but he tried to run up the stairs. He made it all the way except for four steps," she said. "That's when he fell back and I saw the blood mark on the wall."
Senior Deputy District Attorney Johnny Baer is claiming that Lawrence killed Davis because Davis had refused to provide him with drugs to sell. Baer is seeking a first-degree murder conviction and life prison term.
Defense attorney Bryan Walk is arguing that city police arrested Lawrence two years after the murder based on a shoddy investigation that relied largely on the testimony of "jailhouse snitches" and other unreliable witnesses.
Several other of Davis' associates in the drug trade are more likely suspects for the killing, Walk is contending.
Under Walk's questioning, Rivera said Davis was selling "e-pills," also known as Ecstasy, a hallucinogenic drug. Walk cited prior testimony that Davis was charging $10 per pill and was selling about 1,000 pills every two weeks.
"What Bryan did was pretty good money?" Walk asked.
"Yes," Rivera replied.
She said she didn't know of problems Davis was having with anyone, "but if there were, he wouldn't have told me."
It is likely that Davis knew the person who shot him, she said, because he wouldn't have opened the door for someone he didn't recognize.
Walk then noted that Rivera had told police soon after the killing that she'd had a premonition that something was going to go wrong.
"I didn't agree with what he was doing," Rivera said. "As a woman and a mother, we get feelings. And sometimes those bad feelings end up happening."
Rivera left the witness stand in tears and could be heard weeping loudly in the hallway outside Judge Deborah Essis Curcillo's courtroom.
Davis' stepfather, Adolfo Kiehl, who is in state prison for drug dealing, testified that he saw Lawrence and another man, Jamel "Fatboy" Green, in Lawrence's truck near the murder scene about an hour after Davis was shot.
Kiehl said he'd heard that his stepson and Green had a dispute.
Under Baer's questioning, Kiehl said he and Davis both sold drugs. Kiehl said he specialized in heroin while Davis mainly sold pills. They got their drugs from a supplier in New York.
Kiehl's testimony also indicated that he was selling drugs around the time of the murder, even though he was on probation and under electronic monitoring.
Walk hammered at Kiehl's credibility, noting that in addition to his drug conviction, Kiehl has a 2006 burglary conviction in Texas.
Walk noted that Kiehl didn't tell police about supposedly seeing Lawrence near the murder scene until 10 months after his stepson was killed. Kiehl claimed he told investigators much earlier that he'd heard rumors that Green had killed Davis.
When pressed by Walk, Kiehl said he told Farley "Mouse" Vest, a friend of his son, to retrieve drugs and a scale that were hidden in the back yard of the house where Davis was shot. Kiehl said he took a pistol that was hidden in a cracker box inside the home.
He said his stepson never told him about any conflicts with Lawrence. Also, Kiehl admitted that, immediately after the murder, he lied and told police that Davis had not been involved in any illegal activity.

Auburn won the first game in what could be the most important week of its season. If the Tigers beat Mississippi State on Saturday, they'll be at .500 in the conference and have at least a fighting chance of making an impact in the SEC West race. Read on for the dispatch from Beard-Eaves...
AUBURN -- After bringing an entourage of fans from his hometown of Montgomery, Arkansas freshman Courtney Fortson was forced to watch the final minutes brooding on the bench, his composure crumbled and his team beset by frustration.
Fueled by Fortson's late technical foul, Auburn used a second half surge to beat the hapless Razorbacks 75-62 Wednesday at Beard-Eaves-Memorial Coliseum.
After starting the season 12-1, the Razorbacks (13-9, 1-8 SEC) have plummeted to the bottom of the SEC standings.
"I still believe in these guys," said coach John Pelphrey, who left South Alabama for Arkansas two years ago. "Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe I'm the guy who needs to have his head checked. I refuse to believe we're a last-place team in this league."
Auburn (15-9, 4-5) won back-to-back conference games for the first time in more than a year. The Tigers are now tied for third in the SEC West and could move to .500 in the league with a victory over Mississippi State on Saturday.
The crowd at Beard-Eaves was generously announced at 4,347, which was still the smallest announced crowd in almost three years. Many of the fans were there to cheer on Fortson, a former star at Montgomery's Jefferson Davis High who has averaged 15 points, six assists and five rebounds a game in his first year for the Razorbacks.
Fortson started with a bizarre intentional foul on Auburn's first in-bound play of the game. He ended by fouling out and then drawing a technical for jawing at official Mike Stuart as he walked to the bench. A member of his cheering section angrily stomped up the stairs and to the exits as Fortson left the game.
"I don't even remember what really happened," Fortson said. "I thought it was a questionable call, but he's a referee for a reason. I said something to him and he just T'd me up. I was really asking for an explanation, but you know..."
Tay Waller hit two free throws from the technical foul and Auburn took a comfortable 67-60 lead that it wouldn't relinquish for the final four minutes of the game.
"I felt like that was a big turning point, but before that the momentum had already started changing," said Auburn's Lucas Hargrove, who tied Waller with a team-high 14 points. "That (technical) just built up the snowball."
Auburn trailed by 8 at halftime, but outscored the Razorbacks 44-23 in the second half and 16-2 in the final six minutes. (The Tigers outscored the Hogs 19-2 down the stretch in their meeting two weeks ago at Fayetteville).
"I think the biggest battle we're fighting is the six-inch playing field between our ears," Pelphrey said.
After beating Tennessee three days ago without a single basket from the bench, Auburn relied on unlikely sources of production Wednesday night. Reserve Brendon Knox scored 6 points and grabbed four rebounds in 15 minutes. Frankie Sullivan had 6 points and four assists in 18 minutes. All told, the Tigers had 26 points from bench players.
"I liked the way we did it tonight," said Auburn coach Jeff Lebo. "I liked it because it wasn't the so-called stars that did it tonight."
While Sullivan's stock is rising, senior guard Quantez Robertson continues to slump. He was left out of the starting lineup for the first time in his four-year career after showing up late on Saturday. He started Wednesday, but played only 11 minutes. The final indignity came when Lebo emptied the bench and inserted walk-ons and seldom-used reserves in the final seconds. Robertson was among that group.

I just get the frozen, wild caught fish from Target and follow the recipes on the back of the package. Tonight we are having sword fish with pesto

I did follow the recipe, it's mushy and wet and no taste. It's not a recipe, it's more how to cook it by itself. I need a sauce or something on it. Seasoning? Mustard?
I like poached salmon. Mustard is good. Yogurt is good. Garlic sauteed in butter and then poured over salmon is awesome. Don't avoid salt with fresh or frozen fish.
Baked fish works on a lot of the fish sold frozen like salmon, tilapia, and cod. Recipes abound online for specific fish because temp and time per pound are different for different fish. Lemon, butter, hot sauce, jerk sauce, and curry sauces all work well on baked (or poached) fish, depending on your tastes.
Catfish, which some people don't like because they're bottom feeders (but I think tilapia is also), I've had good luck sort of free hand blackening. I put just about every hot dry spice I have in a baggy. Put the fish (patted dry) into the baggy and shake. Get a cast iron pan really really hot. Place fish into pan - don't walk away. When the bottom side is blackish, flip fish, and turn off heat. If you're working on an electric stove, move pan to a cool burner also. The fish will cook on the second side from the heat from the cast iron. If you can find fairly small catfish, this comes out like barfood - have plenty of lemonade or water on hand.

Salmon with mustard is so good! I would top it off with some herbs as well. Maybe Parsley or Cilantro.
You could also make Salmon Cakes with mashed sweet potato to off set the texture of the previously frozen salmon.
Sometimes I'll just use home made raw mayo and mix it in a crunchy salad with cut up salmon in there (like shredded chicken).
Add some spices. So delish! or a home made avocado dressing if you don't want to do mayo.
My Health and Nutrition Blog
Defrost the salmon. On a large sheet of parchment, place a bed of lemon slices. Pat the salmon dry and liberally season (S&P) both sides. If skin is still on, place skin side down. Place several pats of quality butter or CO on top side, then layer with more lemon slices. Seal (fold over) the parchment packet, and bake at 350F for ~20 minutes. The fish does not need to be "masked" if it is of decent quality, but lemon and some butter/CO do enhance it. The result should be flaky, flavorful, and a cinch to make.
Living in Alaska, we catch a freezer full of Salmon in the fall and eat it for the rest of the year. Personally I prefer to slow-thaw salmon prior to cooking it. I drop the filet (still wrapped in it's seal plastic vacuum packaging) in a bowl of water and let it sit until thawed. A lot of times I will just do that at lunch and then leave it on the counter until I get home from work - so 4 hours. The water is still quite cold when I get home but the salmon is thawed. Salmon is super forgiving and can be cooked nearly any way - poached, baked, fried, grilled. I prefer baked, myself.

Our little miss Cassidy is 11 months old…wow. Only one month left until she's a year old. I can't seem to wrap my brain around that one no matter how hard I try. Here are a few fun updates:
I got my first "baby kisses" the other day (you know, the adorable bumping-into-your-face-with-the-mouth-wide-open type of baby kisses. I thought my heart would burst!)!
We have curls! Cute, perky baby curls at the back of her head. And the face that they're RED baby curls….well, it just makes it that much cuter.
Eating still continues to be a great success! Salmon, spaghetti, pulled pork, animal crackers, Thai food (yes, Thai food…as long as it has no heat whatsoever. She loved Pad Thai!), all kinds of fruits and vegetables…you name it! She prefers feeding herself, although sometimes she still lets me feed her, which I kind of love. Spaghetti continues to be her favorite, although she loves ditalini pasta tossed in pureed carrots. Mmm, tasty!
She's also learned how to drink from a straw. I know that one seems a little soon, but our doctor recommended it for her. She's still not quite used to it, but she does love for me to give her drops of water with the tip of the straw.
Teething has been a roller coaster of emotions. We always know when she's working on a tooth when we can't get her to sleep to save our lives. No sleep plus a grumpy, uncomfortable baby definitely does NOT a happy mommy make. Oh well, it's all part of it, and each time we just remind ourselves, "this too shall pass.". And BOY, are those little chompers cute! (she has a total of 5 now)
And last but not least- she took her first steps last week! Joel and I were lucky enough to be right there for the action, as well as my parents! She's been standing all on her own for a while now, so we've just been waiting for those first steps to follow. I'm sure she'll be walking any day now!
This picture makes me look like an absolute idiot, but I just had to share it- my nephew just happened to have his camera at the ready just as Cassidy stood on her own for the first time a couple of weeks ago. What a moment!!
I can't get over how fast this is all going and how BIG my baby girl is getting, but I absolutely love seeing what each phase brings! She's an absolute joy to be around- funny, full of life (and energy!), with a mind of her own. There's a bit of a red-headed temper there, too, but she is my child, after all.
I've been planning her first birthday party and can't wait to see it all take shape! This is the fun part!

New video channels Rob Ford as a 10 year old
Rob Ford's excuses at the peak of the crack scandal were pretty childish - "I cannot comment on a video I haven't seen or does not exist," "you're not asking me the right question" - but in the mouth of an actual kid they're pretty, err, frightening.
Here's a short film that puts (slightly tweaked) Rob Ford quotes in the mouth of a 10 year old girl who is accused of breaking a window (or "doing the crack").
It's funny and scary at the same time.

Know what's even more pathetic? There are still people out there who actually believe his lies about his awful track record and personal conduct and would like to see him get another term. That's really pathetic.
Earlier this week, fake signs in the park paid for by a company in B.C., and now this? Ford haters are a sad bunch indeed.
If you hate Ford so much, how about growing up, stop the lame-ass crap like this, and run an actual candidate against him? Otherwise, get lost.
This little short is quite well done. Kudos to the actress!
There's nothing funny about involving a 10-year-old in your BS.
Typical left crap.
We wouldn't, have you nothing to say about any of the other candidates.
Positive or Negative everyone wants to talk about Ford.
Rob Ford the mayor you LOVE to hate.
Funnt how the spoofs about Ford are better than any of the actual candidates ad campaigns themselves.
If I ask you how you liked the How I met your Mother Finale, most will either say never saw it I have no comment, or saw it and my thoughts are....
No educated population of citizens would ever vote for anyone nearly as disgusting as Rob Ford.
In the meantime, this sleazoid thinks he is entitled because despite lying about DUI and drug arrests in Florida he still got elected. So why worry about the continuation of his sordid behaviour now??
Rob Ford is the one who involved his preteens in a sick lie regarding pedophilia and child abuse so on and so forth. ONLY to score political points by playing his usual victim card which you have bought into.
Just remember folks: this perverted individual brought his kids into a fabricated yarn about child abuse to perpetuate his divisive politics
Typical Ford Nation crap.
Why don't you go start up a site to grind your special little axe? Call it BlogWhatAboutWynne.com or AtLeastRobHasn'tKilledAnyoneYet.com? That way you and his other 17 remaining true believers can have your own special playpen where you won't be disturbed by people pointing out that your hero is an imbecile and so are his supporters.
Its fine to say he hung out with a-hole people, but as a grown man in a position of power, to be making that many bad personal decisions leaves me pretty uneasy about his decision making sills in a professional capacity. The fact that they are "private" issues you are in a public elected position and unfortunately for him , we do have the right to an explanation.
people can have compassion for mistakes, but its how you handle your mistakes that defines a person.
He inherited a surplus, then raised taxes 2%, cut some services and privatized others thereby making some people lose their jobs and others to make less money.
Whoopdeedeedooooooo what a genius. WOW. imagine the genius. Surplus + raise taxes + push wages down + cut some services - where does this genius get these lofty intellectually supercharged powers from???
I'll bet a lot of them are pissed as hell at this too...too stupid to recognize wit, too humourless to admit it's funny, too mad that they KNOW it's funny/dead-on, so they just got to roll out what inane misdirects they can think of.
I LOVED those spoof ads in the park, but THIS is brilliant. This going to make me smile for DAYS. Suck on it, morons.
Can't wait for Ford and his race-politics to finally get sent packing.
Yeah...I thought so, man-boy. I knew you were so nutless that you couldn't even figure out a candidate nomination form.
I think the tax increase was lower under lastman/Chow. yeah I am showing my age but seriously
Sanity restored
If we really need to discuss an issue like a street name it should be an online poll that all residents have access to.
say something else that is equally brilliant and illuminating, child.
Listen to Daniel Reed, the man knows what he is talking about when he says: ROB FORD is the WORST Mayor Ever.
Can see by the left posts, none of you follow politics, other than the big headlines produced by the Liberal media.
There was no surplus when Ford ran for Mayor. There never is. The city coffers need to be empty when council begs the feds and the province for more money. That is the left system today, and it has ALWAYS been that way.
The Mandella street sign is just a cheap ploy by left councillors for black votes. They don't really give a hoot about blacks in Toronto. They only do enough to win votes, nothing more.
Bet if we put a rock, with Fords' face painted on it, the leftees could sit and stare at it for hours. You're so easily amuzed.
Funniest video ever made!
Then, with all the bootlicking Ford did with the police union contract, he put us in the biggest hole we've been in for years. Now this City is almost bankrupt, and it's delicious irony that a big part of it was Ford's extremely geenrous payoff to the police would come back to sting because now the TPS(and OPP) is going to lock Ford up.
Listen to OhBehave!, she makes a strong case: Rob Ford needs to have criminal charges brought against him. And if being a vile racist was illegal too, we'd throw him behind bars for that as well.
Flaherty left us with a deficit (which he,e r, miscounted by $2 billion) and for the shiiity job he got a promotion to also take Canada to a deficit.
As for the lying racist hooker banging Ford: byeeebyeeeeee
I am one of those who prefers Chow to become the new mayor. I am baffled I guess how my taxes went up under Ford bros when the city was managed well with a surplus under Miller.
Olivia should have run last time
Better late than never
but his groupies are the WORST
rightist trash will be shoveled out this fall.. enough of the indecency
Good on you brother, this was SO good. And good to see you doing so well, too. Seem to recall a special night many moons ago, with you, me and Jill sitting in the still of night atop a mountain in Ellicotville, amazed that life could ever be so awesome. Good times.
[A.B.F., y'all]
no matter whatever the case I hope this fat puke of a mayor of Toronto doesn't make more easterners come here. This city is already half full of you fool easterners
you deserve this Ford guy and his gangbanger friends
