When you go to the polls to vote on Tuesday, April 7th, please consider casting your three votes for Monona Grove School Board as follows:
Jason McCutchin
Mike DuPlayee
Lionel Norton
While we appreciate and respect all four candidates, we are endorsing these three because they have dedicated a significant amount of time to the school district and School Board Committees over the past several years. In addition, all three are Cottage Grove residents with children in our schools.
1. Jason McCutchin has served on numerous School Board committees, including the Ad Hoc Committee that is trying to deal with the under utilized buildings in Monona and the crowded buildings in Cottage Grove. This is a complex issue with no easy solutions. We need someone like Jason who has a solid grasp of the situation voting on the outcome -- this decision could determine whether CG kids are bused to Monona for elementary school. Jason has a background in accounting and finance and he has proven himself to be a listener and problem solver.
2. Mike DuPlayee has been on the School Board since 2002. He has the experience needed to deal with the difficult issues the Board will face in the coming months. We are faced with teacher contract negotiations and the need for budget cuts. As Mike has noted, the easy cuts have all been made. We are now facing decisions that are much more challenging. Mike cares about the education of our children and keeping academic standards high. He is not afraid to speak out on issues that may not be popular in one of our two communities.
3. Lionel Norton has also served on numerous School Board committees and has been very active in the community. He wants to bring new ideas to the table and increase communication with parents. Too often, we find out about School Board decisions when it is too late to change them. Lionel is reasonable and rational and willing to take on the challenges facing our district.
PLEASE remember to vote on Tuesday, April 7th and please spread the word to all of your friends and neighbors. We really need to get out the vote in Cottage Grove. We have the majority of students in the district, yet Monona residents have always out-numbered us on the School Board. In elementary grades alone we have 1,403 students currently enrolled in our district (4K-5). This includes 382 (27%) children from Monona and 1,021 (73%) children from Cottage Grove. These kids don't have a voice in this election, but you do.
Thank you for your time!

Division Promoted in MG School Board Race

Embarrassing, to say the least.ReplyDelete
How is it different then the elecations of past? I would contend it is not, a little more brazen, yes.ReplyDelete
Come down off the ledge. While I agree that this email might be a bit divisive- they clearly laid out the qualifications of the people they are supporting. And, candidate #4 from Monona is definitely running on a platform of "I am the only one from Monona". So, both sides are doing the same thing. It is unfortunate that they used things like percentages and numbers- although again, I am sure that those things were used to argue the opposite way when more kids lived in Monona than CG. I think you are overreacting.
Of the newcomers, Lionel and Jason have been the most outgoing and approachable. Both have blogged into Peter's blog to explain things, and both have answered questions directly emailed to them. So.... they may indeed be the most qualified... no matter where they live.
Right, Lionel and Jason may well be the most qualified regardless of whjere they live - but the email pitches their candidacy based on where they live.ReplyDelete
Again, as far as I know the email was sent independtly of the candidates.
I want to know why it is OK to tell people to vote for someone because they are from Monona but its not OK when they are from Cottage Grove.ReplyDelete

I have always made it my policy to not respond to anonymous blog postings- I prefer to have direct, respectful communication with people face to face. However, I feel it imperative to state that not once in campaigning, in either of our communities, have I ever once claimed that a vote against me would support the idea of raising taxes to benefit Cottage Grove. I have campaigned with open arms in both of our communities, meeting with some of the same people who signed this email. I have said from the beginning that I want to work to unify and strenghten our school district. It is unfortunate that some of our school community members have taken it upon themselves to urge others to vote by zip code. I am disappointed, but will continue to work to make our school district a place where positive people can work together to give all of our children the best education they can get. As always, feel free to contact me at email@example.com

Even though I do not generally participate in blogs, the current lie posted about Jessica Ace calls for a response.ReplyDelete
Having spent many hours with Jessica Ace over the past weeks, I have come to know her as a highly principled person who has demonstrated an open-minded willingess to listen and learn, as well as to work on behalf of all the children in the district. She has never made the statement alleged here, that "unless people vote for her they will see the school board raise their taxes to benefit Cottage Grove." That is an outrageous statement and a total fabrication. I am grateful to have a person of her caliber who is willing to run for the board and am sad that in doing so she has to be subjected to such disrespectful treatment.
The conversation sparked by the posting of the e-mail from some residents of Cottage Grove is a perfect example of why I do not participate in blogs. The anonymity of the posters seems to give them license to be rude, make unsubstantiated allegations, and state flat-out lies as facts. I much prefer face-to-face conversation, and as a school board member, I respond individually, often at great length, to every e-mail I receive. (On rare occasions, when I am aware that another board member has responded to an e-mail to the entire board, when I have felt the answer was sufficient, I have not contributed my own response.) Blogs can be a source of factual information, as this one often is, and they do provide a forum for discussion. Unfortunately, they also contribute to misunderstandings, due to the fact that inaccurate and incomplete statements as well as complete untruths, as in the current case, go out to a potentially wide audience with no accountability. In this way, they can be destructive. I certainly hope that no one judges my own openness and accessibility by my unwillingness to participate in a blog.
I urge people to step back from the ugliness of people who promote divisiveness and take the time to read the candidates' reponses to questions in the Herald-Independent, including the most recent edition which contains a summary of a forum, and the Isthmus. I believe the forum moderated by a representative of the League of Women Voters is available online at www.mononatv.com. The candidates who have been out going door-to-door have had the opportunity to engage in discussion with voters. Fortunately, there are ways for voters to inform themselves.

My point is that the people who signed the e-mail are in some cases the people who have always promoted division.
"My point is that the people who signed the e-mail are in some cases the people who have always promoted division."ReplyDelete
I disagree, at least with regard to the former school board members on that list.
I have gone back and forth about allowing anonymous comments and decided that, on balance, posting them is more beneficial than not.ReplyDelete
I don't post everything people submit, but my general policy is to post and let others respond if they disagree.
I, for one, am disgusted by the lack of respect and integrity that has has been witnessed in this campaign. We have one board candidate who has violated board policy by plastering cars with his political literature during a performance at the highschool, we are presented ridiculous lies as unbiased information on personal blogs, and we have community leaders engaged in the conscious and calculated decision to divide our school district to promote their own agenda. I will be voting for Jessica Ace, I can trust that she doesn't agree with these tactics and is more concerned with improving the academic achievement of ALL of the children of our community. Enough already! Let's focus on the kids. Thanks, Jessica, for being brave enough to stick your neck out and run a clean campaign!ReplyDelete
NOTE: Last night, I allowed the posting of a comment from anonymous commenter that alleged that Jessica Ace was telling voters in Monona to vote for her or the school board would raise their taxes to benefit Cottage Grove.ReplyDelete
Upon further consideration, I deleted the comment because it contained factual allegations that I have no basis to believe are true. I, of course, cannot put the genie back in the bottle.
Here is what I find interesting. The School Board Member who responded here- Ms.Fox- is one of those who ran on a platform of open communication and transparency on the board. She talks here about not responding to anonymous posts....ReplyDelete
Yet she does not have any way to actually communicate with her constituents. Ask the School Board member coffees at local places? A blog of her own with no anonymous posting? A column in the paper? Anything?
She communicates openly with her own group of folks, and when you do that one on one you can say whatever please the group you are with. The only School Board member who openly informs communicates and is transparent in Peter- he puts himself out there publicly and can be held accountable for opinions stated on his blog.
Where is the accountability for more recently elected school board members who claim to communicate and be more open? Only to certain people, and their views change with the people they happen to be with.
"I disagree, at least with regard to the former school board members on that list.ReplyDelete
Funny, I disagree for that very reason. Perhaps, the way the treated a alderperson from Monona was/is different then the peasant class.
I am not posting any more comments on this post until at least Wednesday. Inflammatory comments may not be posted at all.ReplyDelete
Mr. Wood,ReplyDelete
Are you going to post the letter author by Kristin Yates openly endorsing only Jessica Ace because she is from Monona and Lionel Norton because he is endorsed by Susan Manning and Sue Fox. If you do not post this then you are just as hypocritical as the rest.
"Are you going to post the letter author by Kristin Yates openly.....If you do not post this then you are just as hypocritical as the rest."ReplyDelete
First, yes, I just posted it but only because the NCAA championship game is one-sided so I decided to check my email. That was the first I heard of it.
Otherwise, your comment is idiotic. I was at a city council meeting tonight and then watched part of the second half. I do not get paid for this blog, I do not have a staff searching for stories. I am not a journalist; I will publish - or not - what I decide I want to put on my blog.
So, please don't call me names in your comments. I usually stuff them in the trasj bin, but published yours as an example of what *not* to say. Thanks you.
"Here is what I find interesting. The School Board Member who responded here- Ms.Fox- is one of those who ran on a platform of open communication":ReplyDelete
Response from Susan Fox to the comment that began:
Constituents may call or e-mail me, as a number of people have done. Our phone numbers and e-mail addresses are available on the district web site. I return phone calls to discuss issues and I respond to e-mails. I have suggested that the board hold listening sessions a couple or more times per year. After this election, I hope the new board can sit down together for a couple work sessions to hash out board procedures and discuss better ways to engage citizens. I am aware of one school board which holds "big idea" discussions once per month. A particular issue is posted as the topic, and the meeting is open to the public in a participatory way....not just as listeners. I would like to try to get our board to do something like this. I also have ideas about some restructuring of our committee structure. Clearly our board needs more work sessions, so that we can have more open-ended discussions.
In part because of the hiring of a new superintendent, this current board never even set goals for this year. We need to do this and to develop a strategic plan. Improvement of communication with the public, as well as with school staff members, needs to be a part of this. One thing that I have learned in my first year on the board is that significant change comes at an excruciatingly slow pace. I feel we've been in a bit of a holding pattern over the past year.
In short, I believe I am accessible, and not just to people I see regularly. Most of the e-mails I've answered have been from people I don't know personally, as is the case with some phone conversations. I'm assuming this poster has never tried to contact me. I would encourage you to do so, if you have a question or just want to discuss an issue.

Aromatherapy Austrey Warwickshire
Aromatherapy Austrey Warwickshire: If your chaotic lifestyle in Austrey leaves you mostly feeling stressed out and depressed, it may be time to try out something different to get you back to your old self. Have you ever thought about aromatherapy as a way to unwind? It could be that you've heard of aromatherapy but don't know precisely what it is, maybe you consider it to be among those quack treatments that have no proven benefit, or perhaps you'd like to have a go, but have simply never got around to it. Well the objective of this page is to enlighten you and help you decide if it might be useful for you.
Aromatherapy - A Brief Guide: Professional aromatherapists in Austrey will use scented essential oils to help relieve symptoms in people with certain physical conditions, illness and also psychological and emotional problems. These special oils, that are extracted and distilled from fruits, plants, herbs, aromatic flowers and spices, can be used individually or in conjunction with each other to create the optimum effect.
Prior to therapy starting there will generally be a consultation between the client and therapist to find out an outline of their diet, medical history and lifestyle. This consultation is utilized to create a treatment plan that may be of the most benefit, and will help the aromatherapist to focus the treatment towards right areas.
Aromatherapy treatment commonly uses massage techniques with the aromatherapist applying the oils straight on the skin of the client. This is a technique that calls for training and expertise, and quite a few certified aromatherapists in Austrey will have had prior knowledge of healthcare massage in addition to other alternative and complimentary medicine procedures. Occasionally, aromatherapy process might have to be continued out of the consultation or treatment hours and blended oils are provided, with comprehensive instructions, for use in the home that will compliment the hands-on sessions.
Some of the most popular essential oils today include chamomile, tea tree oil, lavender oil, marjoram, bergamot, lemon balm, eucalyptus oil, peppermint oil, patchouli and clove oil. Such oils can be employed in a range of ways, as carrier oils, in their raw form, in vaporizers, as infusions and in diffusers to mention just a few.
You won't find any specific regulations and rules governing certified aromatherapists but a majority will likely have followed study courses which enable them to sign up for membership of professional bodies for example the Aromatherapy Council (AC), the Aromatherapy Trade Council (ATC), the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists (IFPA), the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) or maybe even the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). Minimum standards are required in order to sign up to these organisations, with a diploma or a degree in aromatherapy ordinarily being the bottom level of education and training.
You can locate aromatherapists in hospitals and hospices where frequently the treatment is coupled with conventional medical practices to offer the patient the best potential for recovery or relief from symptoms.
It must be noted that an aromatherapist in Austrey shouldn't offer diagnoses of medical conditions or advise clients on symptoms and other treatment plans. This needs to be down to the GP of the client or another doctor.
Your local Austrey aromatherapist ought to be willing to help you with every kind of aromatherapy such as: aromatherapy massage for muscle spasms in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for depression in Austrey, aromatherapy for insomnia in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for acne breakouts in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments with essential oils in Austrey, aromatherapy massage for shoulder pain in Austrey, aromatherapy and reflexology in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for weight loss in Austrey, aromatherapy for stress and worry in Austrey, aromatherapy massage treatments in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for migraines in Austrey, aromatherapy for tennis elbow in Austrey, aromatherapy arm and hand massage in Austrey, aromatherapy for period pain in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for anxiety and panic in Austrey, chinese face massage in Austrey, aromatherapy massage for labour in Austrey, indian head massage in Austrey, aromatherapy foot and lower leg massage in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for neck pain in Austrey, aromatherapy facial treatments in Austrey, aromatherapy shoulder and back massage in Austrey, aromatherapy for rheumatism in Austrey, aromatherapy for pain relief in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for sciatica in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for joint pain in Austrey, hot stone massage in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for chronic back pain in Austrey, aromatherapy massage for snoring in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for relaxation in Austrey, aromatherapy for headaches in Austrey, aromatherapy treatments for asthma relief in Austrey and any others you may think of.
What Can Aromatherapy Treat?: Although aromatherapy is regarded as a mostly holistic therapy it is said by aromatherapists that numerous particular complaints and medical conditions can be managed using this procedure. Amongst the main disorders that could be cured or reduced are: migraines, allergies, anxiety, headaches, stress, fatigue, back pain, earache, sleeping disorders, menstrual pains and asthma, although this is by no means a complete list.
Certain aromatherapists in Austrey, Warwickshire and throughout Great Britain might practice other therapies similar to aromatherapy and mainly part of the complementary medicine group. Such treatments might include: sports massage in Austrey, hypnotherapy in Austrey, Bowen therapy in Austrey, indian head massage in Austrey, hot stone therapy in Austrey, reiki healing in Austrey, holistic massage in Austrey, ear candling in Austrey, crystal healing in Austrey, reflexology in Austrey and related treatments.

My camera caught ya Taylor! He went downstage to sign more autographs to eager & screaming fans!
Aside from his jampacked Global Benchsetter Fan Meet at the MOA Arena on August 17, 2013, our hunky Twilight Jacob aka Taylor Lautner's mall visits at Glorietta & Mall of Asia were also blockbuster in attendance! And I was among those thousands of shrieking admirers 🙂
Missing his presscon, I arrived early at Glorietta to get a good spot for pics-snapping. Initially took photos of the newly-constructed pit where Taylor would emerge and then shots of the entire stage set-up etcetera. Around 3:35PM DJ Sam Oh went onstage, did a brief intro and later on called upon Taylor and the crowd simply went oh-so WILD!
"Mabuhay!" he shouted out in almost perfect Tagalog. Clad in a dark gray tee and jeans, Taylor who wanted to visit the Philippines got his wish upon being signed up by clothing giant Bench as its current Global Benchsetter alongside fellow Hollywood heartthrob Liam Hemsworth. He's very happy and thankful to all the love and support he has gotten from his Pinoy fans.
Fifty TL fans and some guests of Bench got the chance to have their handshake/hug/photo op moments with him with an autographed poster as memento. Some even had their warewolf/Twilight shirts signed. One common thing I've noticed is that majority of the fans who met Taylor for the first time were calm and behaved but perhaps deep inside their hearts were racing and kinda nervous! It was the little girl fans who were excited who even ran up to Taylor and hugged him very tight. Aww how su-weet!
Here's a BONUS part! Immediately after the meet & greet portion, Taylor to the surprise of fans who were on the barricaded sides went down to them from downstage right to left just to sign more autographs! TL even managed some selfie snaps as the crowd got thicker and wilder causing a mad stampede! You can just imagine his security going crazy since Taylor tried to bypass them just to get closer to his fans who waited hours and even years just to see him literally upclose! Been a long while since I last saw fans shedding tears of joy after seeing their idol. Last time I witnessed such was during Puerto Rico's Menudo Manila concert years. Wow! His personal entourage made sure they took lotsa pics to show to more people back in the States.
After 45 minutes or so, the Glorietta appearance was done and off Taylor went to the Mall of Asia Atrium for his last stop.
Yours truly also headed to Mall of Asia to witness TL's Meet & Greet. Despite habagat rains, hundreds of fans showed up at the Atrium to lay eyes on Taylor. He did not disappoint and the crowd went crazy seeing him wave back at them. TL thanked Ben Chan and the whole Bench team for the opportunity to represent their brand. He was also satisfied with another campaign ad he did the day before.
Already familiar with what he did at Glorietta, I knew Taylor will again go downstage, reach out to the crowd and sign more stuff. Since the peeps in front of me already left after seeing him, I found myself within his reach! Ooh yes I was going to have better close up shots but I had no card nor paper for him to sign. As Taylor slowly inched his way on from the side crowd, my heart raced as he was just a few feet away from moi! When Taylor finally stood at my post, I said, "Taylor sign my bag!" Which so he did! Yayyy!!! I think I froze for a few seconds, haha, then snapped one more shot of him moving away. BEST Fan Moment! Speaking of fans, met Matet & Angeli after the event who felt like Lotto winners after having their TL event postcards signed. They were sad tho that he had to leave and catch a 10PM flight back to LA that same night.
Taylor went back onstage to say thank you and hoped to be back real soon. Like a flash, waved farewell and made his way out in the midst of non-stop screams. I have a positive feeling he will make a grand comeback!
Other Global Benchsetters include Lee Min Ho, Adam Levine, Bruno Mars, Jessica Sanchez and Joe Jonas. Many thanks Mr. Bench Chan for bringing Taylor over and more Benchsetters to come!
Ms_MARS 🙂

The followers of this blog know that I have been using the Body Bugg to help me with my weight loss. Once I hit under 200 I thought it was time to take a little break from the constant logging of food and being so extremely diligent about my weight loss. A pound a week was probably very do-able without the constant logging.
...um, yeah....RIGHT.....
Here's the thing. I have lost. And then I'd gain. Thanksgiving was KILLER for me! I had lost a few pounds from Monday to Thursday, but then when I went to weigh in Monday...I had gained what I had lost and then some. All in a week's time.
So, what seems like a depressing reality to me is just simply reality. The reality is this...I have to be not only conscious of what I eat, but VERY conscious. So, I am logging food again. And what I saw today really surprised me.
I logged food for months in the Body Bugg program. Months and months and months. But, I also lost pounds and pounds and more pounds! So by the time I stopped logging I was pretty dead on for estimating my calorie target intake every day. Well, apparently for me that really slides when you add a little this here and a little that there.
I just sat down and logged in breakfast, am snack, lunch, and pm snack. That leaves me with a whopping 450 calories left for dinner. Really? I was pretty sure I had at least 6-700 available. Ouch. But, the most amazing thing wasn't the fewer calories, it was my NUTRITIONAL breakdown. When I was in the big "dropping pounds like crazy" phase of this I had a hard time getting enough fat in my diet. Yeah, you read that right.
So, imagine my surprise when today I logged in what I had eaten thus far and realized that not only was my fat intake WAY off the chart for me for a day, but my sodium was also. Ouch...did I mention OUCH?
Do I love logging my food? NO. But, am I going to get back to doing it to help me get those last 30 (well, more like 35 now) pounds off? YES. Abso-freakin-lutely. Because I didn't work this hard for this long to toss it away. I want to get a comfortable 20-30 pounds away from 200 so that I can absolutely say I will NEVER see the 200's again.
I must admit...I normally have NO problem getting the "calories burned" target in. I can hit that target every day, so I had this false sense of security that I was staying within my "calories consumed" target. Apparently I was hitting the target and then some. Time to get real. Granted, it's the holidays so eating healthy EVERY DAY will be a bit of a challenge, but I intend on being good MOST of the time and over-correcting for those days when I totally blow it.
Stay tuned....

Really should be in special features of a DVD! Should those be rated as well?! It may be just a commercial but i do recall they played this in cinemas before the film began.
More teveee commercials on Mubi? At least they don't show them during the films.///As far as American Express commercials go, nothing beats the ones with Karl Malden: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=karl+malden+american+express

December 18 – Try What do you want to try next year? Is there something you wanted to try in 2010? What happened when you did / didn't go for it?I actually am compiling a list of things I want to try next year. It's not super long as of yet, but here it is for what it's worth (mostly writing-related):
- NaNo documentary
- write "They Fight Crime", a song based on this website
- some sort of interactive story, possibly involving video
- mah hedgehog story
- at least two short stories
- at least one short film
- "Inasmuch"
- at least one other script
In terms of things I wanted to try this year, the list is even shorter. I didn't really have set goals.
- NaNo documentary (yeah, it was supposed to happen during November and December, but with the new year rapidly approaching, it's gonna have to wait)
- my angel project
The documentary actually had some footage filmed that needs to be edited. I just didn't/don't have time for it as of yet. And the angel project had actually a bit of research and scribbling done, but it just fell through, relegated to the "to be scavenged from" folder.
I'm excited for 2011.

Argyle Square Sound Trail
This special sound trail was produced by King's Cross Voices in 2006, as part
of the London Architectural Biennial.
Argyle Square, the centrepiece of the trail, is typical of the topsy-turvy life and times of King's Cross. Until very recently, its smart sounding name was tarnished by seediness and sleaze. The square and its housing was originally built in the 1830s, on the projected site of the Royal London Panarmonion, a wondrous flop of a scheme that imagined a botanical bazaar, suspension railway, music academy and art galleries set in ornate pleasure gardens. Instead Argyle Square houses, with their round-arched doorways and ground-floor windows, became home to the middle classes, artists and professionals. By the turn of the 20th century the square slowly began to give way to the lure of hotels for the visitors pouring out of the railway stations. Today, the gardens offer a rare local space to lounge in the summer sun, have a kick about or to shoot the hoops.
The trail is dedicated to the memory of Paul Collett, Camden's Senior Arts and Tourism Officer, whose support, expertise and enthusiasm were instrumental in setting up this project.
Listening to the sound trail
Each track denotes a separate stop on the trail. The musical prompt to move on to the next stop (except for stops 10 and 11) is a short extract from Luigi Boccherini's Minuet from String Quintet in E, Op11 no 5 which you will first hear at the end of stop 1. It is an appropriate choice, as this piece of music is heard throughout the celebrated film 'The Ladykillers' (1955), filmed on location in King's Cross.

Shades of et's phoning home, this story comes to us from the Phoenix New Times:
Machines turning on their human masters:
It sounds like the plot of science fiction movie, but it actually happened to a Peoria punk who police say likes to burglarize vehicles.
The 16-year-old was bragging to his homies about stealing from a car when his mobile phone spontaneously called the police. Perhaps his phone had a one-touch button to call 911, or the kid dialed the numbers by mistake while scratching himself. But little did the chatty guy know, cops began listening in on his conversation.
"It was bolted down – I had to rip it out," a voice can be heard saying on the recording released by Peoria cops. "It took all my energy to lift it out of the car."
His friends seem to be unimpressed with what may be a stolen Cricket phone, lamenting that it wasn't a Blackberry.
Despite long interludes of silence or muddied, unintelligible voices, the cops continued to eavesdrop. They used cell-phone-signal triangulation (with help from the phone company) to get a bead on the kid's approximate location and dispatched a squad car to the area of 9100 West Kings. There, cops found the kid with a stolen car stereo in his hands, says Mike Tellef police spokesman.
The Peoria boy was released to the custody of his parents or guardian and was written up for felony vehicle burglary, which will be prosecuted in juvenile court, Tellef says.
The dilemma for the parents in this case: Take the mobile phone away as punishment – or force him to carry with him always, as a conscience-booster.
For the complete story, and to listen to the tape for yourself, go here!
After promising to release the memos which were written to allow the Bush administration to employ torture in its interrogation techniques, why did the Obama administration suddenly clam up and hold onto the memos? For one thing, because Republican Senators are threatening to go nuclear over the appointments of Dawn Johnsen as chief of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Department of Justice and Yale Law School Dean Harold Koh as State Department legal counsel if the torture documents are made public. This information is from Scott Horton writing in the Blog section of The Daily Beast.
The source says these threats are the principal reason for the Obama administration's abrupt pullback last week from a commitment to release some of the documents. A Republican Senate source confirms the strategy. It now appears that Republicans are seeking an Obama commitment to safeguard the Bush administration's darkest secrets in exchange for letting these nominations go forward.
For Mr. Horton's complete article direct your cursor and click here!
John Sifton, also writing in the Beast's Blogs and Stories section, writes:
The CIA's new director, Leon Pinetta may also be joining in the fray. The New York Times reported that current CIA director Leon Panetta has taken the position that "no one who took actions based on legal guidance from the Department of Justice at the time should be investigated, let alone punished." Yet a number of CIA officials implicated in the torture program not only remain at the highest levels of the agency, but are also advising Panetta. Panetta's attempt to suppress the issue is making Bush's policy into the Obama administration's dirty laundry.
Mr. Sifton's complete article may be found by clicking here!
One would expect better from Leon Pinetta, who many of us hoped would take the agency in a different direction when his appointment by the Obama Administration was announced. Panetta's attempt to suppress the issue is making Bush's policy into the Obama administration's dirty laundry, so says Mr. Sifton. And the Senate Republicans are united to keep the Bush policies secret, thereby putting the exclamation mark on the Panetta coverup. 'Tis a sad day indeed for turning the light of truth on.
And finally on Thursday, April 9th, The Beast reported the following: New CIA director Leon Panetta has announced that the controversial "black sites" — unknown locations where high-value terrorism suspects were interrogated — have been shut down. The sites were a source of major international controversy, as many other nations allowed the interrogation and torture of the suspected terrorists on their soil. Panetta, without revealing any details, stated bluntly in a letter to staff, "the CIA no longer operates detention facilities or black sites." Along with closing the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, President Obama had also pledged to close the "black sites." More here!§
In this past month alone over 57 people have died in a rash of mass killings throughout the nation. Some observers are speculating that this is being caused by the economy, the recession to be specific. They are pointing out that it is people's feelings of frustration that is triggering this carnage. If this is true, then we have probably seen only the tip of the iceberg, as the recession is not likely to noticeably improve for possibly a year or more.
How many deaths will it take before the United States Senate and House of Representatives gets over their intimidation in the face of the National Rifle Association and does something about limiting the public's access to firearms? Every time a reasonable law trying to curb the spread of rapid firing assault weapons is proposed the N.R.A. goes ballistic, cries foul and begins mindlessly citing the constitution.
They are completely paranoid, drawing a line in the sand against any regulation whatsoever. They should be reminded of another group that once upon a time drew a line in the sand. We are thinking of course of a group of Texan's who drew that famous line in the sand at the Alamo, stepped over it, and then proceeded to a man to lose their lives.
One wishes to remind the jackbooted spokesman for the N.R.A., Wayne LaPierre, that when our founding fathers were fashioning this constitution he is so fond of citing, they knew only of single shot, powder loading muskets, and that was the weapon their constitution specifically allowed. Even the most anti-gun zealot these days would be happy to give LaPierre and his N.R.A. flock all of the shot and powder loading muskets their bleeding hearts desire. It's the sales and prevalence of small, concealable handguns, and most particularly rapid firing assault weapons that people of reason are asking that something be done about. It should be further pointed out that the founders also restricted these muskets to the use of militias, organized groups that would defend the constitution.
We repeat for the benefit of any hard of hearing, reading impaired, jackbooted N.R.A. fellow travelers, our Founding Fathers in their constitutional wisdom said nothing about selling automatic weapons to the unstable, crazed individuals who are picking off our citizenry right and left. Modern day assault weapons were beyond their wildest dreams. And so the idea that the Constitution includes the right to own and sell handguns, much less rapid firing assault weapons, is patently absurd. The Constitution meant muskets, fellas. That was the gun in fashion at the time of our Republic's beginnings.
Not another civilized government on the planet has such loose controls on weapons whose only purpose is the delivery of death, either to animals in the hands of hunters, or to people in the hands of murderers. It is unthinkable that a civilized society, which wisely regulates the driving of automobiles (which can also be weapons in careless hands), but cannot or will not restrict gun ownership to selected dealers who impose strict background checks, making sure that criminals and the mentally unstable do not get their hands on these weapons. The present day reality is that guns, including assault weapons, are being freely sold at gunshows throughout the country with little or no background checks whatsoever.
Is this business of making weapons available to anyone who wants them sheer madness? You bet your sweet bippy it is! We need new legislation to restrict the sale of assault weapons and to impose adequate background checks on the sale of all firearms. How many more needless mass killings will it take before Congress wakes up and takes reasonable measures to try and contain it? Your guess is as good as mine, but there's a good chance that the answer is much later or even never. Seemingly oblivious of the fact that mass killings originated on a Texas college campus, August 1st, 1966 as an engineering student, Charles Joseph Whitman, killed 14 students, ten of them sniping from the observation deck of Texas University's Administration Building, our Texas politicians seem intent upon increasing the carnage on campus. A bill forbidding Texas Universities from banning concealed handguns on their campuses is wending it's way through the legislature, and is predicted for passage. Was it seeing too many John Wayne movies as kids that makes Texas politicians invoke a cowboy mentality? For the complete story you can click here! I guess the philosophy of of those jackbooted fellow travelers of the N.R.A. has infected the Texas legislature. Good luck, students.§
Last week we ran a story about Ye Old Pirate Bay having sold out to the very movie industry whose movies they were allowing to be pirated. To Warner Bros. no less. Well, this week there's another story from the storied Bay. This concerns their new anonymity service. It seems that it has signed up over 100,000 subscribers.
The new service was introduced to allow subscribers to circumvent the controversial Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive (IPRED) which recently became law in Sweden, and gives an additional layer of anomymity to their subscribers for a $6 monthly fee. According to Wired Magazine the service will operate much the same way as other anonymity services, with one important exception: The Pirate Bay says it will not log its data, making it more difficult to trace activity to a specific user.
What we are wondering is this: is the new service a part of the sale of the Bay to Warner Bros? Or is it a separate project from the originators of The Bay. We assume it isn't part of the sale, and that it is being offered by the original owners of The Bay to help protect its users from scrutiny by the enforcers of Sweden's new law. Does this mean that the Bay will continue its mission even under the auspices of its new owner, Warner Bros.? Undoubtedly that would make members of Warner's board of directors extremely popular at Hollywood parties. Like NOT!
More than likely its new owners will strip The Bay of it's former clandestine activities, but in order to circumvent the new law the Bay's previous owners are supplying its Swedish users and others as needed with with the new service to help them remain undetected while using other bit torrent clients, such as MiniNova.com., and TorrentSpy.com.

Take this, Microsoft's Steve Ballmer! The online Tech website Gizmoto notes that a new survey of teens reports that 100% of them plan to buy an iPod this year, with 0% of them planning to buy Zunes or Sansas. Piper Jaffray's biannual Teen Survey, in its eighth year shows a serious dropoff in interest for the Zune and Sansa. Gizmoto says that Apple "has just got to love seeing numbers like this. The age of iPod's total dominance over the PMP scene won't last forever, but with numbers like this it isn't ending anytime soon either." On the mac vs. pc front Microsoft is continuing it's ad campaign trying to show the pc is the choice of the cost conscious. However, by giving them the difference, they could guarantee their stooges would pick a pc. After all, could those have been real objective choices with the cameras rolling filming the commercials. In the case of the girl, it turns out she's a part time actress. As for the techie, other techies studying the specs report that his choice failed in two out of three points of his criteria.
Besides, ads are ads. You can't expect real objectivity in a commercial. And as for the so-called Apple Tax that Microsoft is trying to drum into pc buyer's heads, yeah there's an Apple Tax. Just like there is a BMW tax. It is known as a charge for the quality built into the system. In this world, as the axiom says, "you get what you pay for!" In our opinion, if Microsoft would get over its competitive attitude towards Apple and Google, and concentrate on putting the same excellence into their products that their competition does, then they wouldn't need an ad campaign to sell their wares. Oh, well, Zune anyone? And let us have a moment of silence for the iPodless Gates and Ballmer children. See, money isn't everything. Such a shame they are being deprived of their right to know and own quality.
Many a time has the poet sung
That youth is wasted on the young.
How did I know that my youth was spent?
Well, my 'get-up-and-go' got up and went.
But I really don't mind when I think with a grin,
Of the places my 'get-up-and-go' has bin
Old age is golden I've heard it said,
But sometimes I wonder as I go to bed,
With my ears in the drawer, my teeth in a cup,
And my eyes on the table until I wake up.
As sleep overtakes me, I ask myself,
'Is there anything else I can leave on the shelf?'
I have arthritis in both my knees,
When I walk or talk, I puff and wheeze.
Still, I get up each morning, dust off my wits,
Pick up the paper and read the Obits,
If my name's not there I know I'm not dead,
So I have a good breakfast & go back to bed.
Sent to us by D.R. whose grandmother used to recite it. As best I remember Pete Seeger used to sing this or something very much like it as a song. If any of you have something you would like to share with our readers, send it to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com. We would love to share it with our readers.§
I spent the summers of 22 of my adult years working as a counselor in three New England children camps, three years at the University Settlement Camp in Beacon, N.Y., six years at Camp Killooleet in Hancock, Vermont, and the remainder at Blueberry Cove Camp in Tenants Harbor, Maine. I loved those years, they made for a raft of vivid memories for me. I hope you'll forgive me if I share some of them with you.
I got my first camp job thanks to Pete Seeger's wife Toshi, whose parents were the caretakers of the University Settlement Camp, down the road from the Seeger mountainside home near Dutchess Junction, N.Y. I had never even been to a camp as a kid, much less worked at one. But I loved playing banjo and guitar, and leading singing, and that's just what the directors of the camp wanted. We had sings every night after the evening meal, and during the day I had sings with different groups, one group at a time.
That first summer was a wild experience, we not only had days and evenings of singing, but several counselors and I put on shows for the campers. And from two very talented fifteen year old twin girl work campers, Ellen and Irene Kossoy, I learned the two camp songs which would assure my future as a camp song leader. They were The Ship Titanic and Sipping Cider Through a Straw. Those two songs went right to the heart of every sing I did from then on, and Sipping Cider in particular to this day seems to ring in the ears of some of those former campers. Words cannot express my gratitude to the Kossoy sisters for giving me the gift of those two blockbusters, they made for a nice, long career in camp song leading.
The Settlement Camp was governed in a rather primeval style. For instance, one summer the boys in my cabin did something (I forget what) that evoked the wrath of the camp's director. It happened just three days from the end of one of the three week trips. The boys were ordered to stay in their cabin except for meals until someone stepped forward to name the purveyor of whatever it had been which caused the uproar. In my view this is not a realistic handling of such an event. The chances of someone unveiling the perpetrator and suffering the ire of his peers was to my mind slim to none. And such a punitive measure sounded more like a reform school tactic rather than one practiced by a three-week children's camp supposedly dedicated to children's fun in the outdoors. Of course, no one came forward, and the boys spent the last three days of their trip in their cabin. No sings, no shows. No other campers. They were soundly punished.
I was upset by this, and applied to the camp run by Pete Seeger's older brother John, Camp Killooleet in Hancock, Vermont. What a beautiful, scenic state Vermont is. Everywhere you look it seems as if you are looking at a scenic post card. Killooleet was no University Settlement Camp. It was a full eight week camp, and consequently was much more evenly paced than the Settlement Camp had been. Most all of the children there were from decidedly upper middle class families, mostly from N.Y. City. When I first went there John and Ellie Seeger were employed as teachers at the Dalton School during the non camp months, but by the time I left John had become headmaster of Ethical Culture's Fieldston Lower School in the Bronx.
I loved Killooleet so much I talked my younger sister Mary into applying for a job there, and for at least three of my six years she was the shop counselor. One summer, my second and her first if memory serves, it was cold and it rained constantly, day and night, for the first four weeks of camp. And unknown to any of us at the time, one camper had come to camp carrying an undiagnosed case of the whooping cough, a malady rarely seen these days as most of us have had shots to prevent it. But for some reason on that cold, rainy summer it tore its way through the camp like a wildfire. By the third week fully half of the children and counselors had contracted the disease, and the sneezing and coughing was so bad that in the lunch room campers no longer sat at tables with their own group. The tables became "Whooper" tables, and non "Whooper" tables. That summer Life magazine had a two page headline, "Only 7 Whoopers survive the flight to Texas," referring of course to whooping cranes. One of the kids cut that headline out and taped it on the bulletin board in the Main House.
At Killooleet I was witness to a condition I had never seen before, that of homesickness. Some children got it really bad, for camp was less rushed and kids had more time to themselves in which to get homesick. When I remarked on one particular boy having a bad night, another camper turned to me and said, "don't pay him no mind. When he goes home he gets just as homesick for camp."
We had one ten year old boy who was particularly homesick, and who was especially expressive in displaying his condition. His name was David Bloomgarten, and his father was a Broadway Show producer who had a giant hit show running at that time called "A Most Happy Fella." (You can read Wikipedia's writeup of it here)!
We had a jolly local doctor who took care of our children when they were ill. We'll call him Dr. Whitmore. One day David, on one of his particularly down days, went to see the doctor for an illness either real or imagined. The doctor, being ever friendly, asked David what his father did for a living. David replied, "he's a Broadway Producer."
"Oh," said the good doctor with just a touch of skepticism, "and what did he produce?"
With a perfectly straight face David replied, "A Most Happy Fella!" The doctor's jaw almost hit the floor, as he surveyed the producer's most unhappy offspring.
Homesickness is a strange malady. David had a bad case of it, but his younger brother was chronically happy and never had a touch of homesickness the entire summer. And this was true in several other brother and sister situations. Oddly enough, it was usually the older one who had the severe case.
The children at Killooleet were always fashionably dressed. I didn't realize just how fashionable they were until I went to Blueberry Cove camp and then returned to Killooleet for a visit. Blueberry Covers were completely unconscious of how they looked, girls would go shirtless until they reached the age where mother nature begins to augment their upper chest contours.
Every year the late photographer Diane Arbus used to take a group of children to the Bahamas and photograph them in the latest kid fashions, and the shoot would appear as an annual late summer feature in the N.Y. Times Magazine. Looking at the Killooleet children from the perspective of Blueberry Cove I was amazed at how well dressed they all were. Even the youngest girls looked like they had just stepped out of one of the Arbus' preteen fashion magazines.
Most of Killooleet's campers were from above average but otherwise undistinguished families. We did have one or two children of exceptional parents, the most impressive being Deena Kaye, the daughter of Danny Kaye and his wife, Sylvia Fine. Deena was an extremely quiet, shy child. She came first at age eight, she was in my sister Mary's bunk and among other things took guitar lessons from me.
But the most extraordinary quality I remember about her was her reaction the night her father almost saved the longest, most tedious talent show I have ever participated in. First though, I should tell you more about Mr. Kaye's visit. Deena's mom had visited earlier in the summer, and there was some question as to whether her father would be able to make it at all. Make it he did, though. He was an effervescent man who went about the camp taking his role of a camp parent very seriously. I saw him for the first time as he was playing ping pong with a camper just outside the Main Building. While I was standing there two boys walked up and checked him out. I went inside the building, and a minute later so did the two boys.
"God," said one of the boys, "he looks so old."
"Yeah," said the other, "he looks old enough to be my father."
Of course he looked old enough to be your father, I wanted to say. He is a parent of an 8 year old girl. The comment did make me appreciate the anti aging miracle that Hollywood's makeup artists can and do perform to circumvent the aging process of the stars. In person Kaye looked every one of his forty some odd years, but in his latest movie he looked to be in his mid twenties.
Anyway, back to the longest and most tedious variety show ever staged. It must have featured fully a third of the Camp's campers and counselors. It went on and on. Fortunately it was emceed by one of the campers, and not by me. At any rate at around 11 pm, the last thirty or so minutes having been, well, frightful, no other phrase quite describes it, in a stroke of inspiration Ellie Seeger, the camp's co-director, asked Danny Kaye if he would possibly favor us with a song?
Kaye lit up noticeably, knowing full well that after what had preceded him his performance would as a meteor lighting up the night sky. But for me the shock was in his daughter Deena's reaction. When Ellie made her request Deena turned beet red and kept violently shaking her head as she began silently pleading with her dad not to do it. But Kaye could no sooner have resisted this than he could have walked on water. He went up to the stage, and completely acappella, began the most scintillating performance of "Dem Bones, Dem Dry Bones" that I have ever heard. Kaye kept time with his finger snapping right hand, and as he began the song, he got the audience to join with him. It was as riveting a performance as I have ever seen.
However even more interesting to me had been daughter Deena's reaction. She went from being uncomfortable and embarrassed to not being able to stand it any more, and she made a hasty retreat, spending the rest of Kaye's remarkable performance by herself in the outdoors.
I was later to learn that when she went back to Hollywood that summer she got her parents to get her guitar lessons from a $25 a half hour teacher. Would that I could ever have charged that?
In thinking back on my first two camps, they could be characterized by the different terminology each used to describe their nude swimming program. At the Settlement Camp it was called "B.A." (for bare ass) swimming. At Killooleet it was known by its slightly more polite and childlike moniker, "skinnydipping."§
So there you have the first installment of my camp memories. Come by again next week for more of this and that, topped off with more summer camp reminisces. Meantime bye now. And sweet dreams all.§

Cheat Engine isn't undetected.
I remember the WarRock days of UCE's.
Sadly, these programs are no longer effective in most newer games.
They aren't?
Damn, that sucks pretty much dick.

There Is Absolutely No Desire Of Performing Ultimate Research (Griffiths, 1998, P97). Does A Person Are in agreement?
There Is Absolutely No Desire Of Performing Ultimate Research (Griffiths, 1998, P97). Does A Person Are in agreement?
I think, I truly do not concur with the impression created by Griffith which implies that there can never be considered a wonderful investigation. It is deemed an uninspiring and frustrating assertion that demeans the continual attempts produced by researchers to grant solutions to the down sides presented with the human race. You will find tons of volume of research assignments with succeeded in responding to questions which are previously regarded as a secrets. It is not true to share that study jobs are constantly observed as a remnants of defects and mistakes. Investigate actually works sometimes have remnants of defects and faults, however, if the over-all perks a lot a lot of surpass the several mistakes and faults then a very job is excellent.https://samedayessay.me/dissertation Admitting to the current fact is like disregarding the wonderful donation of tremendously well known investigators to produce the entire world a significantly better destination. I fully disagree using this debate.
The query that always lingers with the imagination of people is whether or not there will be any great explore investigation. Can you really get a investigate examine this really is totally free of weaknesses and faults? It is actually very unlikely to obtain a supreme products if we theme homework discoveries to queries or issues. Pondering the information of explore works is what makes the man competition to experience no self-belief in explore results (Jha, 2008). These inquiries placed us in a state of fault journey and trials. It is not necessarily true take into consideration most homework works to be just tests considering that there are many amazing benefits that are because of different breakthroughs such as in the sector of business economics, architectural, artistry and remedies in addition to other industry. It is a fact that individuals make use of the existing findings and innovation they are driving our lifestyle. If the development and breakthroughs were being not great, they likely could not have access to a substantial influence over the calibre of living like they at this time do (Jha, 2008).
Leonardo da Vinci is unique as the most significant scientist throughout history who made an appropriate examine. He manufactured and built system like bridges, architectural structures in addition to battle machineries. His give good results was regarded as a different and boost considering the fact that no individual could be prepared to produce like amazing inventions throughout his time. During his era, Leonardo da Vinci discoveries ended up being appropriate. Another excellent scientist who conducted a great scientific studies are Galileo. He found out that the environment revolved about the sunlight, and showed his breakthrough discovery using a telescope. The fact the globe revolves around sunlight is often a reality that should not be pushed. However better telescope and satellites have actually been established considering that the period of time of Galileo, almost nothing can change his breakthrough. Your third prolific scientist in the past is Thomas Graham. He created a procedure generally known as dialysis. This method is utilized from the separation of crystalloids from colloids, which is utilized on the cleanse of blood vessels. The contribution of Thomas Graham continuously benefits many individuals from creation to generating
There are lots of recognized research workers who have acquired the Nobel Prize because of their tremendous contributions in analysis. I think why these inventors and scientist could not have most likely received the best coveted reward globally for working on an imperfect study. As an illustration, Wilhelm Conrad Rontgen was accorded the Noble Prize for exploring By-sun rays. This creation paved opportinity for the evolution of state-of-the-art imaging strategies which include ultrasound, MRI and CT check out. Every single one of discoveries have improved health care delivery by developing the diagnosis of a number of ailments achievable. You will still find other excellent professionals whose goals have shaped the earth. These comprise of Watson and Crick who noticed the DNA, and Robert Koch who observed the harmful bacteria termed as Mycobacterium bacilli
Along the way of research, any miscalculation that is experienced is considered to be a guide benefit plus a stepping stone to increase researching. Any error in exploration that entails even more research really should be perceived as a missing url that leads to development when exploited. The success of the recent study could never be created achievable but without the donation of history analyses. Days gone by scientific studies tend to be the schedule belonging to the found analysis job. All studies are genuine and different alone, and cannot be in comparison to one other. This makes them ideal homework runs. It really is incorrect to reverence days gone by analysis function as outdated, not valuable or undesirable therefore speaking about it as imperfect. An analysis should is considered to be appropriate so long as it fits its goals and objectives at this occasion if it sufficiently deals with the issues, up until the time a this sort of period in potential future when shifts evolved into required.

It was humbling to be included with such amazing artists working on large scale installations and receive the support of a wonderful Chicago community. Drawing out these dudes to be resized onto mirrors and installed with light projections to blow them up on walls was no less the an eye opening experience. Filled with excitement and thrilled to be drawing!

|Reality. Yes huh. Cows will eat meat.
Those of us who live in S. Georgia are fully aware there are 2 Georgias - N. Georgia and South Georgia. This is a political, economic and cultural divide just as real as the Fall Line which the divide pretty much follows.
This is another issue in which we are divided. Northern hunters oppose baiting. Southern hunters want baiting. The Camo Coalition is enlisting the aid of members to lobby the Legislature to oppose the bill. As I am a member of the Coalition and got their email requesting we contact Legislators about our feelings, I did so.
I edited their letter to reflect my opinion, making sure I signed it in such a manner the Legislator knows I am a newspaper editor. Newspaper editor opinions carry weight at the Gold Dome.
Since you wonder, I favor allowing baiting. I have personally killed many deer over bait piles and near bait piles. In case you are wondering, other states do allow hunting over bait.
|My daughter's first deer, a button buck.
Fair chase? It doesn't exist in the world of hunting today, except in very isolated cases.
|The real spirit. You make your weapon and go after the target with nothing but you and the weapon.
Really? These hunters walk into the woods camo'd to their eyeballs, carrying firearms capable of hitting a deer-sized target at 1,000 yards, with cover scents, attractant scents and park over places where deer are well known to inhabit and wait. They also plant "food plots" which is often nothing more than lightly tilling some ground, scattering seed and hoping the seed sprouts. Hunting over corn fields is also entirely legal. It is legal to harvest the corn in the field and dump it right back on the field and hunt over it. Yes huh.
|The reality of modern deer hunting, as seen from a different Point of View.
Lotsa spirit there.
What's the real difference in adding a pile of bagged corn to this setup?
Sounds to me we have already established who is and who ain't a prostitute. We're just negotiating a price now.
I hunt for meat. Yes, if a trophy walks out on me, I'm gonna do my best to kill it, but I'm still after meat. I haven't yet figured out how to eat antlers.
I hunt for meat. I am a carnivore. I feed my family with the animals I kill. I supply my family needs with the money I get from selling hides to the fur market.
In case you are wondering, here's the current list of states which allow baiting and which don't.
No Bait Allowed:
Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming
Baiting Allowed In Entire State:
Arizona, Hawaii, Kansas, Nevada, New Hampshire, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, Utah, Washington
Baiting Only In Selected Areas:
Connecticut, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Texas, Wisconsin
The majority of the deer hunters I know hunt over bait. Is this illegal? Yes. But years ago it was illegal for Rosa Parks to keep her seat on the bus when a someone of a different skin color wanted her seat.
You may say that reference is irrelevant to hunting. Not to me. It's all a matter of rights - including my right to feed my family. Where I come from, feeding my kids is a hell of a lot more important than who sits where on a bus, but the root issue is the same - government attempting to tell us what we can and can't do.

Silk sheets – are house renovation aware things to search for? Three guidelines to help you during your search.
The Very First Counts comprise one continuous strand of best and possible silk for bedding.
The 2nd Counts – 12-19 momme weight is fantastic for silk bedding.
The Ultimate Counts – continues to be important when selecting silk bed linens.
Key phrases:
Silk Sheets, Silk Pillow cases, Silk Duvets, Pillows, Bedding, Bedding Online, Bedding Direct, Silk Bedding United kingdom, Bedding United kingdom, Perfect Sleep, Pure Mulberry Silk
Body Building:
Recently silk sheets and bedding comforter sets have become in recognition and therefore are more commonplace in the shops of shops than in the past. Chiefly because of advances in bedding manufacturing techniques lent largely in the modern cotton and polyester trade.
With increasingly more retailers stocking silk bedding comforter sets plus the classical cotton and polyester sets, we've observed some extremely different prices schemes. Some silk bedding comforter sets could be ½ the cost of others, and yet they appear almost identical. So how can we know we're getting a great deal or buying inferior silk that won't last?
You will find three primary items to search for inside a silk bedding. House renovation:
1. 100% mulberry silk – Mulberry silk consists of one continuous strand of silk and is the greatest possible silk for bedding. Many bedding comforter sets comprise Tussah or wild silk. This silk isn't continuous, but instead comprised of damaged strands of silk. Only 100% mulberry silk can provide the ongoing sturdiness and uniformity needed inside a silk bedding.
2. Momme weight – Momme may be the measurement accustomed to weigh silk. The greater the momme number the greater silk has physically gone in to the item and then the stronger the silk is going to be. 12-19 momme weight is fantastic for silk bedding. Momme weights of less than 12 are mainly restricted to clothing and silk ties. The greater the momme number the greater silk you literally get for the money.
3. 400 thread-count – While not as essential as the very first two points, thread-count continues to be important when selecting silk bed linens. A thread-count less than 400 will directly effect the sturdiness from the bedding. Usually the closer the weave the more the bedding set can last.
Check out silksleep (us dot) com for among silk bedding that fits all of the above needs.
It's worth mentioning by using silk you receive that which you purchase. Cheap silk bedding comforter sets will more often than not not have the ability to meet one if not completely three of the aforementioned needs. Buying an inexpensive silk bedding is really a false economy, because the products won't last. Silk which has met these 3 fundamental needs and it is correctly looked after will last longer than cotton and polyester sheets, showing to become both a lavish and price effective investment.
To summarise: When searching for any silk bedding always insist upon 100% mulberry silk, a momme weight of 12-19 (19 being more suitable) along with a thread-count of 400 or greater. Silk bedding comforter sets that meet these needs are true good examples of the greatest silk bedding comforter sets have to give you – pure luxury.
