Remembering a princess: stories, photos and more on the upcoming Diana exhibit
Edmonton could see more fruit trees in local parks and lots of local veggies in schools and hospitals as the new Edmonton Food Council kicks into gear. The 15-member advisory council, which will be chosen in June, will also have to look at difficult issues like raising chickens and bees in the city, or how to set up a food hub at the local community league, said Hani Quan, principal planner with the city's new food and urban agriculture strategy.
5 minutes ago"I hope I don't get too emotional here," Mayor Stephen Mandel said to kick off his goodbye news conference in the foyer of the Art Gallery of Alberta. Of course, Mandel did get emotional during his speech to announce his exit from civic politics, with three outbursts in particular, each one saying much about the challenges of being a mayor of a major Canadian city.

First of all the only time I've ever witnessed racism in the modern era is in the constant bickering by the likes of Sharpton and Jackson whose job it is to stir up the black community against the oppresive whites. They need to get a real job and lend a helping hand rather than blab their mouth. Second, this is not a crime of racism, it is simply a crime committed by animals dressed in human clothing. Furthermore all heinous crimes like this that are committed against another human are "hate" crimes. "Hate" crimes are nothing more than a creation by the federal government so they can decide which murders are worse than other murders. The whole hate crime thing is ludicrous. In a proper justice system which this country has sorely lacked for at least my lifetime is these animals would have already been tried and convicted and hung in public and that would be the end of it. They are humans however they should pay the price. They were failed by their families and their community and quite possibly by themselves; God forbid they take responsibility.

How Much Did Obama's Family Vacation Cost Taxpayers?
Over $1.4 million. That's the generous estimate of how much the Obama family vacation cost taxpayers this Christmas. $1,474,200 to be exact.
The Hawaii Reporter compiled an estimated account of expenses for the Obama trip and found that, before factoring in unknown costs, taxpayers forked over almost $1.5 million. Here's how the paper broke it down:
- Mrs. Obama's early flight to Hawaii: $63,000 (White House Dossier)
- Obama's round trip flight to Hawaii: $1 million (GAO estimates)
- Housing in beachfront homes for Secret Service and Seals in Kailua ($1,200 a day for 14 days): $16,800
- Costs for White House staff staying at Moana Hotel: $134,400 ($400 per day for 24 staff) – excluding meals and other room costs
- Police overtime: $250,000 (2009 costs reported by Honolulu Police Department)
- Ambulance: $10,000 (City Spokesperson)
Then there are the unknown costs:
- Rental of office building in Kailua on canal
- Security upgrades and additional phone lines
- Costs for car rentals and fuel for White House staff staying at Moana Hotel (Secret Service imports most of the cars used here to escort the president)
- Surveillance before the president arrives
- Travel costs for Secret Service and White House staff traveling ahead of the President
Yes, the president deserves a vacation. But the paper suggests that the Obamas could have used housing on military bases to save on costs such as security and housing for support personnel:
They could have chosen a less expensive and more secure place to stay such as a beachfront home on the Kaneohe Marine Corps Air Station – just a two-minute drive away from the Kailuana Place property where they are now. The president visits the military base daily to workout, bowl with his kids or enjoy the more private beach there. He also could have stayed at a home 15 minutes away on the beach fronting Bellows Air Force Base as President Bill Clinton did.
But he didn't. Instead, the president and his friends pooled their money for the "Winter White House."
"The 7,000 square foot home," the paper says, "features 5 bedrooms, 5 ½ bathrooms, a media room with surround sound, a kitchen suited for a master chef, a dining room and great room, a secluded lagoon-style pool with tropical waterfalls and a lavish island spa. The ocean lanai and garden lanai showcase ornate landscaping and stunning views of Kailua Bay and Mount Olomana."
While taxpayers didn't pay directly for the actual house, they did end up paying for the decision.
Mele Kalikimaka, Mr. President.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 6:14pmHEY IDIOT (FOXISLYINGTOALLOFYOU) how does it feel to be a spooky dude's puppet? does he pay you enough? or are you just saying the 'party' line? isnt that what all you 'leftys' do? its people like you that are destroying our country. the worst thing that could happen to you is that you will wake up and see what a fool youve been, praising these hero's of yours, Mao,Che,Stalin,Van Jones etc
but i doubt youll ever wake up – Obama Zombies never do. -
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 6:26pmIts easier to demonize than to argue with FACTs huh. For the record I could care less about Mao, CHe, Stalin, or Van Jones. They are all irrelavant. But it sure helps demonize me, so when confronted with facts you dont have to defend your views. Becks plan is working on you nicely. And hes getting richer in the process. Isnt it funny how the Wilmington OH thing was just an excuse to sign books and charge $125 a seat. (why didnt he donate it)

Don't bother.
When they can't dispute facts or you're talking over their heads, they accuse you of working for Soros. You'll find it in the comment section of every story since the site took off.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:02pmThat would be SOOOO cool… Sort of like posting all of the facts he and his team have found over the years… and how one connects to the other…
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:13pmFOXISLYINGTOALLOFYOU – if you think FOX is lying, you are in denial. check out the facts dude. remember, Beck says dont take his word for it, check it out yourself. does any ot other media encourage that? NO, cause they aint got the facts,its a bunch of half truths and mostly lies; they expect idiots to believe them without proof. you shoot your mouth off without realizing what you'er saying. dumb, dumb, dumb —- folks, these are the people that voted for this President and now we are paying for it.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:33pmSO BECAUSE BECK SAYS "CHECK THE FACTS" AND THEN LIES, HE IS SOMEHOW NOT LYING. He knows his viewers are too lazy to ACTUALLY check.
Here check: http://mediamatters.org/search/tag/glenn_beck
You don't want to know the FACTS.
Like Wilmington Ohio HAS recieved money from the governement, millions or
that "Death Panels" was considered politifacts "lie of the year" or
that Obama really isnt going to ban fishing or
that the Federal reserve IS NOT "bailing out Europe with trillion dollars or
that Net nuetrality is ACTUALLY protecting free speech from ISP's who want to slow bandwidth to competitors sites or that the Obama vacation DIDNT cost 200 Million dollars a day!Like these or should i continue……
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:49pm@ Foxislying – so, you are quoting your "factual" source as Media Matters? LMAO! You should stick to posting at Huffington Post and Open Society, where your "facts" are made.
Paid Troll Alert.
I hope you get a raise soon so you can move out of your parent's basement.. the lack of sunshine is causing your mind to get a bit mushy.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 5:03pmName ONE innaccuracy with MMFA. Of caorse you cant becasue they document with several non-partisan sources yet because Beck says their Soros owned (another lie) you believe him. All i say is read their site 30 minutes a day with an open mind. There is NO WAY a rational human being can actually SEE the evidence and not see the deception that is FOXNEWS and BECK. READ IT: Show these so-called innacuracies
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 6:01pmGeorge Soros isn't really an innaccuracy, but seeing as MM is a Soros funded entity confirms it's lack of objectivity.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 6:23pmOK so instead of naming a REAL "innacuracy" you decide to say well because they received donations (they are non profit) you dont have to bother with facts. NAME JUST ONE! you sheep.
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 8:27ami have ONE for you FOX … when Media Matters states that Clinton was responsible for a surplus in the economy, in fadct they should be ACCURATELY be stating it was CONGRESSMEN like Boehnner, Gingrich, Army etc… see FOXIS LYING… you're the sheep, you are a dangerous lying *****… so lets dispense with the nonsense you want to see what ailes this country, its people like you that are too lazy to work for what you have… you want US to give it willing or otherwise…. you want to debate facts just pull the data from the Govt. Accounting Office… very telling stuff..oh but inyour world 2+2= whatever you can make the dummycrats and progressives believe……..
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 1:45pmWith that logic. NOTHING is President Obama's fault. Who was the President at the time. So GOOD things are the Congress' achievements but bad things are the Presidents? Got it. Its SO EASY being a hypocrit. What about the HUGE DEFICIT. DO YOU BLAME BUSH? YOU SHOULD…. OH wait it was the democratic congress.

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 8:18amamen Linda, and Tranquil yes we pay for vacations but nothing the likes of what Clinton and Obama spend…see most of the Republicans went to their homes…. what was clinton to do go to the bar his mama worked in or the brothel she worked in? as for Barry, what is he gonna go to Kenya? nooo they have to go to really nice places like Hawaii on our dime and why cant he stay in his "typical white woman grandmother's apt"? hmm oh thats right until he got elected in Illinois we paid for everything….. still paying…. aren't you and itelligent shource of information.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:49pmStories like this make us look petty. Why not just re-run old stories that are actually relevant? There's a whole bunch of stuff the left is still clueless about because it was covered during the campaign frenzy / honeymoon period.
All this attention they pay to us now, why not go for it? Let them "debunk" it. I could think of several dozen things right now. It has to be better than whining about pocket change.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:49pmThis is his pay back for what the Brits did to his grandfather. He believes he is entitled to these things and by golly he is going to take full advantage of this situation he finds himself in…that being the President of the USA. When this man moves it cost money. Has he even tried to limit his movements since being in office. What will be the total cost of this mans vacations vs lets say any other president in our history. I'd like to see a comparision made. What will be the estimated total of his expenses if this trend continues for a full 8 year stay in our White House? How many vacations did he take in 2010? Why wasn't Officer housing good enough for him? Officer housing in HI is some pretty good digs esp out on Ford Island. Good security to boot.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 3:30pmYou said it better than I did…every president deserves a vacation, but this one acts like king and queen, always excess that's not necessary…. off the back of the people, while his policies make us struggle to keep a roof over our heads, food on the table….that's what gets under my skin so bad. 9 vacations so far.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:48pmThe 24 WH staff, were they on vacation as well or did we cover there expenses so that they could work over there. If they were on vacation, should have been there money, and if they were working, they should really start investing in some of the technological advances they keep wanting to regulate… ever heard of netmeetings and teleconferencing WH. We know the President has a Blackberry, what does he use it for a paperweight.
I have zero problem with the security or even the cost of the Air Force one flight, he's the President, but Why does Michelle always go on these vacations a day or so ahead of time? What's the deal there.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 3:53pmHave you seen the picture of Bush doing the same thing. Are you just as outraged:
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 3:59pmDo you find it just as offensive when Bush puts his feet on the desk? Hypocrits!
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 7:22pmYou are so wrong! At least the other Presidents were patriots and didn't mock their country. That is what is so hard to swallow! There is such a a total lack of respect here from BO & MO. Again, there is that sense of entitlement that reeks from both of them! I pray that the election of 2012 evicts them both from the White House!!

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:45pmPlease forgive my ignorance here, but when have you ever posted a "right" type opinion? I've seen you post quite a bit and cannot recall seeing, not even once, a non-left position. I could well have missed those posts though, can you help me out please?
For the record, before you accuse me of anything, check my first post on this thread.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:30pmRight wing, red neck with an open mind here baby doll. I'm 6'9″ of total man candy. I drink beer and I work hard. I side with what is right if that is left it is left. If it is right wing it is right wing. Neither side is right about everything. Angelina Joley could not brain wash this good old boy. It would be fun for here to try though. My true entrainment is to read these posts and laugh at how whipped people are. I don't believe in God, I favor a woman's right to choose, I believe in free enterprise and I believe this country is and will always be a government. Any questions?
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:44pm"Right wing, red neck with an open mind here baby doll."
Apparently very open minded, you just called a man "baby doll". :)
"I'm 6'9″ of total man candy. I drink beer and I work hard."
"I side with what is right if that is left it is left. If it is right wing it is right wing. Neither side is right about everything."
Never claimed as much, in fact, as a libertarian I don't fall on either side as a rule.
"Angelina Joley could not brain wash this good old boy."
She probably didn't get your notice about being a 6'9″ tall man candy guy. :)
'It would be fun for here to try though. My true entrainment is to read these posts and laugh at how whipped people are."
Oh? Why? I can't speak for you or anybody else, but when I encounter people I consider ignorant and I can help them, I try to, as opposed to mocking them. That may just be a "me thing" though.
"I don't believe in God, I favor a woman's right to choose, I believe in free enterprise"
Are you libertarian?
"and I believe this country is and will always be a government. Any questions?"
Actually yeah, I didn't quite grok that last sentence, sorry (seriously).
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:48pmSheesh, 6'9″? I guess the air is awful thin up there!
Aw, just joking…I am 6'4″ myself…Very rarely do I get to look up at someone…
Maybe someday you will seriously question God and how we all got here. If/when you do everything else will just fall right into place for you.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:56pmI was born and raised in West "by God" Virginia and never once met a "redneck" claiming to be "man candy"…..WTF? You are candy for men? As for Angelina, I'm sure she prefers men that can actually spell her last name…JOLIE! At least you have a good moral foundation though.
not funny
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 3:43pmWere those trips Bush made from Washington to Texas (not exactly exorbitant mileage) over an 8-year time period? Are we comparing that to a less than 2-year period? What will the future bring?
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:25pmMan candy?? That was a really weird thing to say. Does that mean you are a super tall woman, or a guy who does not reread what he writes before he posts? You definintely left me confused, Baby doll.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 5:13pmWooo 17M in 8 years for the 77 trips. Wanna give us the amount of Obama's flight costs so far? Also overlooking the cost of renting the vacation property… for Bush… $0. For Obama's Christmas 2010 trip alone is $3,500 per day.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:39pmI don't mind him taking a vacation, but use some common sense when you are spending the public's money. The military base option for the support staff seems like a no brainer. Mama O could have waited and traveled with Barry.
Also, I'm sure we paid for all the staff and the secret services meals. I don't see that included above.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:39pmPlease sign your resignation NOW, Mr. president. No one will care, no one will object except the chimps you surround yourself with. PS. Your golf swing makes Charles Barkley look like Tiger. Stick to smoking, the libs say you are good at that. Sign it now. Use executive priviledge to its fullest advantage and strategy. Avoid further embarrasment. Save America the cost of impeachment.

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 8:32amWhen the next Presidential Election comes around there will be MILLIONS beholden to Obama for Excessive Salaries in ALL Government positions. Do not forget all the new Employees in GM, Insurance,
Banking and the GIVE AWAYS for Bonuses to Wall Street Millionairs. If you believe these people are not going to protect their Benefactor, you are living in La-la Land. There are more of "THEM" than "WE",
the Constitutional Loving, Rule Of Law desiring, TRUE AMERICANS. The Liberals have been successful in
"buying off" a majority. And WE LET THEM. -
Posted on January 1, 2011 at 12:38am@GWDOBBS
Yes maybe, but you need to also keep in mind that by the time of the 2012 elections roll around there really won't be much money left to continue to sustain all of these government positions. There are going be a few million more forclosers and there will be no more bank bail-out money. There will not be enough money to bail-out the unions that keep GM workers employed. Yeah, lets see how many will continue to support him when the gravy train is gone. What about California, New York, Illionois? They will be the next in line for a hand out. They could tax us 100% and it still won't be enough. Do you really think he will get re-elected? This is why he is living the high life for as long as he can. The Party is will end in 2012.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:03pmNot enough control of congress…
I like the idea, but another witch hunt will only hurt the republican party. They need to have serious charges and an airtight case and they need to get at least a few dems on board.
I think the case could be made though…But I am hardly a legal expert…
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:38pmMan if we tallied how much Bush cost us… He vacationed a lot more than Obama. Stop Complaining!

Posted on January 1, 2011 at 12:19am@Godbless45
Who cares about Bush! He's been out of the picture for 2 years. Obama and Company has spent more of taxpayers money just on vacations in the last 2 years than Bush did in his 2 terms of office. I have never been a Bush fan either but Obama really takes the cake!!! How much did Obama spend of OUR money on this last election just campaigning for his cronies? Do you know what it entails every time he went from state to state? Obviously that was just a huge waste of my money but it was worth every dime to see most of the progressives (oops, I meant Democrats) loose. This President no longer has any clout except what he takes from the taxpayers. So stop with using the last President as an excuse for this President's extravagances. Wake Up!
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:38pmFolks, c'mon. Every President takes vacations that cost a pant load of money. While I could cite him if it was truly outrageous, he went back to his home state. While I'm not particularly interested in being generous to him, I'm going to cut him some slack on this one as I would *any* President. Every move he or any President makes costs us money, that's just how it works.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:56pmI'm just glad he's on vacation…again. Every day he's not in office is a day when he's not signing more legislation. If I had my druthers I'd have every member of Congress as well as the President on vacation 51 weeks a year. Ultimately it would cost us all a hell of a lot less in the long run.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:00pmNot only that, it exposes him to a heck of a lot more rogue golf balls… :-P
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:01pmI think the reason people are upset is just that this president is spending money we don't have. In times of severe economic crisis, when he is telling us to tighten our belts and that we need to "have some skin in the game" he seems to act like he is a billionaire jetsetter. I don't begrudge him a vacation, but he is not even trying to act like he is concerned about being conservative in his spending of the taxpayers hard earned money.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:38pmI agree with Kate – vacationing is not the problem here – its the complete lack of responisibility with which he vacations. Just like his wife leaving early to fly out there at the cost of $63,000, and wanting a nicer house than the ones available on a nearby base he planned on visiting daily anyway. This very same vacation could have cost the taxpayers much less if Obama really cared.
Jedi Master
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 7:34pmI agree. I think the folks here have been watching too much Hannity (not that there is anything wrong with that).
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 7:40pmI agree but how many vacations are the Obumers going to take? They have had more vacations in two years than most Americans could afford in the past ten to fifteen years. And many Americans haven't been able to afford a vacation in longer than they can remember.
Extravagant behavior at the cost of those in this country struggling just to live week to week.
This is way out of line and unacceptable no matter what president does it. You can't say something is RIGHT just because someone else has done it before.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:37pmI work 2 jobs, to pay for his vacations….don't have time for one of my own, nor can I afford one after paying for his!!

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:44pmThere are more than 200 million americans, you didnt contribute a cent to his vacation. Stop complaining!
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:55pmWe all contribute if we work!!!
Hugh Williams
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:02pmGodBlessUSA45
Actually there are over 300 million Americans. Please explain how every American that pays taxes did not pay part of Lord Obama's vacation?? The only way the Great God King Obama has any money is to take it from other Americans that work and pay taxes. -
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:04pmIf he didn't contribute then he should have a nice refund check forthcoming!!!!
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:17pmHas anyone added up the cost of all of "Lord Obama" and family's vacations to date?? At 300 million people, and consider how many are out of work and not paying taxes, and how many are below the federal tax paying level, I bet the the working people have paid a nice chunk each!!
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 8:11amHEY godblessusa45, your an idiot, dotn offer a blessing on the country you steal from, and please use the 45 ..insert into your mouth and pull the trigger..depending on the unit, about 4lbs of pressure should save us all……

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 3:26pmYup… Bush makes a trip back to the ranch and the media crusifies him and protest at the gate… Yet this freak… Sheik Obama plays more basket ball and golf and takes more vacations than any president ever and he is praised for it. Meanwhile, the people are stuggling to make ends meet if they can even get the ends close together at all and he is out there throwing our money around like it is from Milton Bradley…. Someone, PLEASE, Tell me why this is still being allowed to happen???
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 5:10pmIs that picture they are posting in an ICE CREAM SHOP? I thought we were not "allowed" treats under the M Obama policy .. do as I say not as I do once again …. he is either in an Ice Cream Parlor or Hamburger Place everytime I see them on vacation!

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 5:03pmYep…….SIX MILLION, SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND, and SIX DOLLARS. This 'man', hasn't cared how much he's spent in EVERYTHING he's saddled this country with so far, so why change now?? We already know how much his wife loves this country, anybody think he's any different? They are RUBBING it all over our faces people. That's alright, he's gone in two years unless he use's his "executive order" power he said he will use to 'force through' the Dream Act. That will give him 10 MILLION votes and a victory in 2012. Hopefully we can keep the damage to a minimum before he's thrown out. History will regard him as the WORST President EVER, THERE IS NO DOUBT!!!!!!!!
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 6:08pmI don't care how much it costs, I just want to know what they are eating. If they can micromanage my eating habits, I don't see why I shouldn't be privy to theirs.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:52pmI'm sure that all the people out there who have lost their jobs and had no money for Christmas, thanks to Obama and his Commie buddies, feel very good about him having such a wonderful and expensive holiday at their expense.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 1:59pmIt's important to protect the President so those costs are needed. However, who's going to protect us from the President (and all far left liberals for that matter)?
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:00pmRight on…. and why wasn't he spotted driving by his "old residence" ???
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:06pmseriously people, if ya dont spend at least a mill on vacation, then you aint been on vacation. No seriously, dont tell me the last vacation you went on cost less than a mill, cause I won't believe ya….I cant remember the last time it dint cost me a least a mill to take the family on vacation….Disney, Sea World, maybe a boat ride, round of golf, easily a cool mill….
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:16pmI would bet that it was DOUBLE what they are reporting! AT LEAST! Elect me next time .. I would love to spend Christmas in the White House.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:19pmThis A HOL plays golf and goes on vacation more than he does his job. I really hate this jerk …

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:35pm@ SEIDEL .. Your asking too much of the president… BTW, You said he deserves a vacation.. DESERVES ? WHY? What in the hell does he do but ruin a once great country on a daily basis, and he DESERVES a vacation for doing that ? GEEZ !!!
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 2:53pmKings get to live large.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 3:19pmHe was away from DC and not screwing things up.
$50 million for a seat on the Soyuz into orbit for him would be a net gain.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 3:36pmDIDNT YOU LEARN YOUR LESSON LAST TIME? 200 Million a day wanst it? You people will believe ANYTHING. Do some research on Bush's vacation costs!
JJ Coolay
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:14pmWhile many of those costs are necessary for the protection of the president—-any president—he should be scaling back in a time of deep recession and be an example to the nation he SERVES. But I think he believes the nation is here to serve him.
Many people have been going without for too long now and for the president to spend lavishly is poor taste and screams of self-importance.
By the way… isn't 14 days a bit long? I mean, most people who can afford to vacation these days, which is by the way not too many of us anymore, usually vacation for a week or less. -

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 4:16pmWhats the problem people!? Barry and company needed a little fun in the sun.
You act like we're trillions in debt or something. He's only been on like six vacations in two years. I know all of you get MULTIPLE expensive vacations per year, so lay off.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 5:51pmActually I think everyone just needs to cut him a break — how many times did Bush travel to his Texas so called Ranch? There are other things we could be discussing! http://maboulette.wordpress.com
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 6:33pm@foxislyingtoallofyou..How much did Bush pay to stay at HIS ranch??? I couldn't stand Bush but at LEAST he didn't spend money on RENTING a ranch in his home state..LOL.. PLEASE DON'T even say Chicago is his HOME .. IT'S NOT it's where he was sent to learn about the MACHINE.. NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS…
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 6:37pmDoes that include the price of a master forger creating an official Birth certificate ?
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 6:38pmThey clearly do not care how much of our money they spend……..GB may have had a lot of vacations too, but at least his were back at his ranch in Texas & cost the tax payers very little compared to the Ovomit's………….
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 7:22pmThe only thing the taxpayers should pay for is the protection. POTUS gets a salary, he should pay for all his and his family's expenses. And he should be limited to two weeks vacation per year like most of the American people are. I am tired of our "civil servants" living better than the people they are supposed to serve. I don't want to hear anything about needing more vacations because he has a stressful job. All he does for foreign relations is apologize to every country on the planet. At least he HAS a job and will collect a generous retirement from us taxpayers long after social security leaves us without anyway to retire. For most people every day is a stressful one without any vacation in sight.
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 8:35pmWe never did find out how much his world trip costs us. They laughed at $200 million a day but no one gave the correct amount.

Posted on December 30, 2010 at 9:01pmHow much did Bush's Iraq fiasco and bumbling Afghan war cost? How much did his tax cuts for the wealthy cost? $6 trillion dollars!
Posted on December 30, 2010 at 10:33pm"How much did Bush's Iraq fiasco and bumbling Afghan war cost? How much did his tax cuts for the wealthy cost? $6 trillion dollars!"
Bush's tax cuts didn't cost a penny. Saying tax cuts add to the deficit is like you buying a $1 million house you can't afford and then blaming your neighbor for your increased debt when he won't give you the money to make your mortgage payments. If you spend money you don't have, expecting to mooch off of others to pay your debt, it's not the person who won't let you steal his money who's responsible for your problem.
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 12:00amExpenes are passed onto the taxpayers every time a president takes a vacation. And they all have done it. Get off Obama's back.
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 7:57amactually polwatcher, (and I am the last peersonto defend this jackass) he doesnt have peopoerty because he was the product of leaches on this society, why do you think he and the rest of the progessives like clinton steal from us that work for it and then tell us we are bad to have anything we work for?
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 8:08amto deuteronomy 22;walkwithme1966;foxislyingtoallogyou; and the rest of you progressive supporters that want to paint Bush as a bad guy.. lets put it to rest riight now. (I had issues with some of his spending on social progreamsBUT………..)
1. he spoent money on the Iraq War becuse Bill Clinton sat on his fat a$$ doing nothing about Sadam, lets not forgewt what it cost us over the years for that bunch of HOOEY.
2. we got bombed by Al Queda bucause Clinton counldnt leave Monica Lewinsky(22 at the time) alone and when we had a chance to take him out, he was "unavaialble at the time" and Sany Berger wouldnt make the call to put a round through his head. Not to mention how many times did Yeman offer him to us? so 911 is on his head
3. Bush spent time at HIS ranch alot less expensive that RENTING property…(see liberal dummies 2+2=4)
4. this f'n mess we are in witht he Chinese… Clinton, MFN was granted to them by non other than Billy and Hilly…….after Charlie Tree funnelled hoe much to them???so please go away far far away

Posted on December 31, 2010 at 8:13amROYALTY don't stay "cheap"; the Obama's have NEVER been thrifty with money that is NOT THEIRS.
Since the money don't come (English intentionally wrong) from their pockets, they believe THEY DESERVE
AND OTHER BLACKS RELISH THEIR OSTENTATIOUS LIFE STYLE. Spend, Baby, Spend. Show them "WHITE CRACKERS" WHO IS BOSS NOW. Celebrate and POOP on them Crackers. "A mouth full of GIMME and a hand full of GRAB" is STILL the Black Motto for more Reprarations Forever. -
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 8:32amDo as we say, not as we do… A pathetic example of lavish living at taxpayers' expense during such a Deep Recession. What kind of an example is this? Just the fact that Ms. Michelle couldn't wait a couple of days for her husband to wrap up his ramming down of progressive legislation says it all…
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 11:28amat this point with stimulus and obamacare or whatever they want to call it and all the other big spending, is a vacation really worth getting worked up about yeah he's an idiot yeah he like flaunting his bank notes but it wont last to much longer 1 more year people hang in there !
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 11:48amBull !! The one day delay cost that much to change arrangements and schedules. Clearing the skies for AirForceOne cost five times that much. The military jets and fuel cost that much. The lost revenue for business disruption in Hawaii cost that much. The advance crew, military, FBI, CIA, DHS, FAA, DNC, WTF, WTF, WTF, WTF ……..
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 1:35pmYOU KNOW!
This is what taxpayer money really needs to go to! We can't be giving those rich people tax cuts, it's much better spent on Rich Liberal Socialist Traitors vacations! -
Posted on December 31, 2010 at 5:25pmBrings to mind the scene of MO standing on a White House terrace overlooking the rose garden. It was last year? – the day of the annual easter egg roll/hunt and there were lots of young kids, and families milling around below. She looked down at her adoring subjects and said, "Welcome to our back yard". Somebody needs to tell her that they don't own the White House, the people do – they have just been given the priviledge to live in OUR house temporarily. And we would appreciate it if they left it just as it was given to them. The nightmare continues. How many more days till 2012!?!!!

Canadian architect passes away
Kiyoshi Matsuzaki, architect and past-president and Fellow of Architecture Canada (RAIC), and former council member of the Architectural Institute of British Columbia, passed away on Dec. 23, 2012.
He was born in 1943 in Shanghai, China to Susumu and Kiyoko (Izumi) Matsuzaki, both originally from Steveston, B.C.
After the war in 1945, the family settled in Tokyo where Kiyoshi and his brother Kazuo were raised.
At age 18 Kiyoshi moved to the United States to study architecture at Rhode Island School of Design.
After graduation he worked at Kevin Roche John Dinkeloo & Assoc. (formerly Eero Saarinen Architects) in Hamden, Conn. There at the coffee machine he met fellow architect Eva Pupols whom he married in 1970.
Two years later they moved to Vancouver where he worked for Arthur Erickson Architects for 14 years, and then was a partner in Matsuzaki Wright Architects and Matsuzaki Architects.
Throughout his professional career Kiyoshi was an active volunteer on many committees, panels, and boards.
He was a strong advocate for involving the younger generation, for diversity, and for increased volunteerism. Even after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2010, he continued his efforts, especially for distance education and other national issues at Architecture Canada.
These projects have been selected from 316 projects with a total value of $2,787,806,637 that Reed Construction Data Building Reports reported on Friday.

Cor, I am having to stop myself going completely insane and buying EVERYTHING until I'm sure I'm going to use it all the time. There are real bath/ take off and landing/ battery- based drawbacks, and I've been trying it out with easier things. But the sheer impossibility of being in a french airport, reading about the guys who started facebook, and downloading Ben Mezrich's book on the subject ten seconds later, was just incredible, like magic. The weird thing is though there aren't any page numbers, so you never know how far along in the book you are- when it came to the end, it was a complete shock. Made it a bit odd. Will be interesting to see how it works for more serious things. Mezrich's book is good though- interesting about how huge success changes people; about how things change depending on the POV and the generalised selfishnesses of the young elite. The fact that it all took place about ten minutes ago is frightening too. Anyway, definitely made me glad I have (mostly) hopped to Twitter!
Anyway. Here's a quick review of The Wilt Inheritance from the Guardian, and I am about to dive into the new Jilly Cooper, the new Lee Child and the new CJ Sansom (ooh big books- Christmas must be on its way) which are not in the least bit interesting to blog about- but tons of fun to read,
Happy reading,

Orcas Island Rehearsal Dinner at Red Rabbit Farm
Imagine having a wedding on a Northwest island that is known for its farm fresh food and culinary talent. Next envision the most highly acclaimed chef on the island as your personal chef for your very own wedding event. That's what you get when you hold your special occasion at Red Rabbit Farm run by Chef Christina Orchid and her husband Bruce.
For nearly 30 years, Christina Orchid was the chef and owner of what many consider to be Orcas Island's finest restaurant. Christina's was heralded and cherished by many including Nancy Leson, author of Seattle Time's Food Blog, All You Can Eat. Nancy claimed that dining at Christina's was the first restaurant experience to knock her off her feet after moving to Seattle in 1988.
I ran into two members of Edible Seattle's editorial staff, Angela Murray and Jill Lightner, who both raved about how Christina was one of the first to popularize the concept of a farm to table dinner. The staff at The New Leaf Cafe, one of Orcas Island's nicest restaurants, told us how much that they all look forward to having their annual staff retreat at Red Rabbit Farm.
Bruce and Christina are now enjoying semi-retirement and the only way to taste their food is through select private catered events, Farm to Table dinners, and cooking classes through their stunning farmhouse at Red Rabbit Farm. After visiting their farm, we knew immediately that we wanted Christina to serve food for our event. We envisioned a smaller and more intimate dinner at Red Rabbit Farm and we decided to have them host our rehearsal dinner instead of the entire wedding.
Red Rabbit Farm does not possess a liquor license so we had the liberty to bring the wine or beer of our choice. I met with Ron Lachini of Lachini Vineyards and purchased a case of their Oregon Rose of Pinot Noir. We also went with a fantastic value of a Bordeaux, L'Ecuyer de Couronneau that was purchased from our friends at Pike and Western Wine Shop.
I couldn't help but hype up the event to all our friends and family that was attending the rehearsal dinner. As anticipation grew and the date crept closer, I grew anxious of whether the experience was going to meet the extremely high expectations that have been built up.
Let me tell you right now that the event of eating at Red Rabbit Farm not only met and exceeded all expectation, but can arguably be filed away as one of those once in a lifetime dining experiences.
Planning and coordinating a wedding weekend can be quite stressful, but once we arrived at Red Rabbit Farm, good company, great conversation, and unbelievable hosts kicked us into nostalgia. We were able to relax and enjoy delicious food, fantastic service and catch up with friends and family who had flown from around the world to be with us.
Bruce and Christina delivered on the promise that the dinner would celebrate the bountiful pleasures of life as they kept the food coming. Family style passed platters paraded down our dinner table as we cheerfully dined our way through braised short ribs, roasted chicken legs, Lopez clams with fennel and garlic, buttermilk mashed potatoes, summer corn pudding, strawberry shortcake and much more.
To add to the expertly prepared farm fresh and local food was the ambiance of Red Rabbit Farm. On top of a hill overlooking Deer Harbor surrounded by mountains, farms, forests, and fields, the farmhouse and long communal dinner table provided an ideal picturesque setting that can usually be found on the cover of travel magazines. We ate, talked and laughed as the sun set in the harbor.
As a testament to how enjoyable the food was, Christina received a standing ovation from the 46 family and close friends who attended our dinner. Everyone agreed that it was one of the best meals of their lives and a number of guests bought Christina's cookbook.
Our rehearsal dinner was such a culmination of family, friends and love in the setting of a celebratory feast. I know that we all wish that we could relive our dinner at Red Rabbit Farm over and over again. It was a night and a meal we will cherish for a lifetime.

Seattle, WA (August 7, 2012) — As he prepares for his Olympic Summer Games qualifying heat on Wednesday, August 8 in the men's 5,000 meter, former Sudan Lost Boy Lopez Lomong is also focused on children living in poverty back home in South Sudan. After London, whether he medals or not, the U.S. Olympian is hoping to return to Africa. The trip, tentatively scheduled for January, 2013, is part of long-term partnership between Lomong's non-profit, 4SouthSudan, and Team World Vision, a program sponsored by international Christian charity World Vision, Lomong's group is dedicated to helping raise $500,000 to provide access to clean water, health care, education and nutrition.
According to the latest United Nations (UNHCR) estimates, there are more than 660,000 displaced South Sudanese as fighting rages between Sudan and its neighbor, South Sudan. Malaria and diarrhea run rampant in the overcrowded refugee camps. Nearly three children die of preventable illnesses in the camps every day.
At the age of six, Lopez was kidnapped from his Southern Sudan village and held captive as he was being prepped as a child soldier. Too small to undergo training, his fate would most likely have been starvation. But he managed to escape with the help of three other captives. After running three days and nights, they were captured by Kenyan troops and brought to a refugee camp where Lopez lived for 10 years. He was sponsored by a U.S. family and brought to this country where he soon discovered he was the fastest kid in school. At track meets he then discovered he was the fastest in the state. Soon he would become one of the fastest in the nation. In 2008, Lomong qualified for the Beijing Olympics in the men's 1,500 meters. He was voted by his teammates as the flag bearer in the Opening Ceremonies.
Lomong has a new book entitled "Running For My Life" (Thomas Nelson Publisher).

LANSDALE Its that time of year again time for fresh produce, baked goodies and all sorts of handmade crafts to come to downtown Lansdale.
Starting at 9 a.m. Saturday, the Lansdale Farmers Market will be back in business downtown, and the markets fourth year will be better than ever, according to market board member Molly Whetstone.
It certainly feels like four years have passed very quickly, and we cannot believe how far we have come in a short time. We are amazed at the success we have had, Whetstone said.
Six new vendors start selling at the market this Saturday, including a few familiar names to the area, according to Whetstone: El Mariachi Restaurant of Plumsteadville will feature homemade traditional dishes and sauces; Lansdale based Ristorante Toscano will offer homemade soup, chili, pasta and Italian entrees; from Middlebury Center, Rocky Ridge Maple will sell organic maple syrup and related products including maple sugar, maple candy and maple cream.
Chalfont based Steves Pound Cakes will sell more than 20 different flavors of gourmet pound cakes, while the Nut Hut of Souderton will hand-grind peanut butter at the market and offer roasted nuts, dried fruit mixes and a build-your-own trail mix station; Walking on Sunshine Alpaca Farm is a family owned local alpaca farm that will sell hats, scarves, shawls, socks and sweaters made from alpaca fiber.
We work very hard to support our vendors as small business owners, and love to see their success and achievements, Whetstone said.
One of the major benefits that a farmers market offers is a boost to the local economy, and we offer very small businesses the opportunity to sell directly to the customer and build their businesses from scratch, she said.
One longtime market vendor is a perfect example of that: Tabora Farm and Orchard, a member since the markets first year, has been operating a location in Hilltown but plans to open a store on Main Street in Lansdale directly adjacent to Railroad Plaza in late May or early June. Its owner, Caleb Torrice, will stay as part of the markets six-member leadership committee and a market vendor in addition to his new full time Lansdale location.
Having his store so close will benefit Caleb tremendously, and provides the opportunity for more Tabora products at the market, she said.
Market vendors will be set up and sell every Saturday from May 19 through Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. rain or shine, on Railroad Avenue between Vine Street and Main Street adjacent to Lansdale Borough Hall.
Last years market manager Andrea Berger is no longer with the market due to changed time commitments, so instead of a full time market manager this year, the six-member leadership committee will staff and oversee the market. Besides Whetstone and Torrice that group includes vendor April Clarke of Lund Brothers Nursery and volunteers Cheryl Williams, Catherine Shields who will lead the markets educational programs and Carol Zellers, whos in charge of marketing.
We are very fortunate to work so well together and accomplish so much. Each member brings a unique perspective and skill set to the market, and we divide up responsibilities and work together to accomplish everything, Whetstone said.
And some familiar features will be carried over into this year: story time and crafts for kids will be held on the third Saturday of each month, and a partnership started last year with the local YMCA branch to offer a Fit Fest will continue, plus the market board is looking into working with local artists to offer gallery showings this season.
The Lansdale Beer Tasting Festival scheduled for June 23 will once again act as a fundraiser for the farmers market, among other local organizations, and its exploring partnerships with other events such as Discover Lansdales First Fridays that have started since the first market season in 2009.
When I think about how far we have come as an organization, how many vendors and products weve added, and the changes we have seen in the borough, its hard to believe it has only been a few years, Whetstone said.
That said, we have lots of plans for growth and for even bigger successes in the future, and in some ways it feels like were only getting started, she said.
WHAT: Lansdale Farmers Market
WHEN: Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., May 19 through Nov. 3
WHERE: Vendors will be set up along Railroad Avenue in Lansdale, located between Main Street and Vine Street.

The patent series indicates what types of warrants were used to authorize surveys. Each series is based on time period and land location. The nine major groupings are as follows:
• Virginia Series (Grants issued prior to 1792) -- 9,441 surveys • Old Kentucky Series (Grants issued from 1792-1815) -- 7,668 surveys
Patents in the Virginia and Old Kentucky Series were authorized by French and Indian War Warrants, Treasury Warrants, Importation Warrants, Acts for the Relief of Certain Poor Persons, Acts for the Establishment of Academies and Seminaries, Warrants for Finding Salt, Warrants for Clearing Roads, Certificates of Settlement, and Preemption Warrants.
• South of Green River Series (Grants from 1795 forward) -- 16,664 surveys
This series opened the Military District to settlement by non-veterans. County commissioners approved the issuance of warrants/certificates to residents purchasing no more than 400 acres of unappropriated land. Applicants had to meet age and residency requirements and they had to have occupied the land one year prior to application. An improvement, such as a cabin or a crop, was also required. The original 1795 Act of the General Assembly required the applicants to be 21 years of age or older. The minimum age was lowered in 1798 to 18. Due to errors in patent series assignments, a number of patents in the South of Green River Series are located outside the region. Some are as far north as Pendleton County.
• Tellico Series (Grants in southeast Kentucky) -- 590 surveys
This area was purchased from the Cherokee Indians in 1805. Under the Act of 1810, settlers meeting the six-month residency requirement could patent up to 200 acres of land by paying $40 per 100 acres. Due to errors in patent series assignments, a number of patents in the Tellico Series fall out of the Tellico Region.
• Kentucky Land Warrant Series (Grants from 1815 forward) -- 26,080 surveys
These warrants were purchased or issued by the Kentucky Land Office. Many were authorized by the General Assembly for the development of Kentucky's infrastructure, i.e., proceeds from warrant sales were used to build roads.
• South of Walker's Line Series (Grants from 1820 forward) -- 4,327 surveys
These patents are located in northern Tennessee. They generally run to the 36 degrees 30 minute parallel or the baseline of the Jackson Purchase. The Kentucky Land Office has patent records for the following Tennessee counties: Sumner, Smith, Robertson, Macon, Montgomery, Stewart, Jackson, Claiborne, Clay, Fentress, Pickett, Scott and Campbell.
• West of Tennessee River Military Series -- (Grants from 1821 to 1828) -- 242 surveys
This area was purchased from the Chickasaw Indians in 1818. A number of Revolutionary War soldiers occupied the land, known later as the Jackson Purchase, without having clear title. In 1820, the Kentucky General Assembly advised the veterans to immediately file for patents.
• West of Tennessee River Series (Grants from 1822 to 1900) -- 9,308 surveys
While the Revolutionary War veterans were patenting their land, the Jackson Purchase was being mapped in ranges, townships and sections by William Henderson. In 1821, the General Assembly authorized the auctioning of "odd sections" in the West of Tennessee River area. Sales would be held in Princeton. Upon presentation of a receipt, the Register issued a certificate authorizing the grant. In 1825, public sales were authorized in Waidsborough in Calloway county. The state set a minimum price per acre for the land sales. By 1835, that price had been reduced to 12.5 cents per acre.
• County Court Order Series (Grants from 1835 to present date) -- 70,238 surveys.
In 1835, the General Assembly granted county courts the right to issue warrants authorizing surveys. Fees are set locally, however, the law requires a minimum of $5 per 100 acres of unappropriated land. The County Court Order Patent Series is codified in Chapter 56 of the Kentucky Revised Statutes.

Retro popcorn maker blends in
Design always has, and always will, play a big part in our purchasing decisions. Kitchen gadgets are, of course, not immune to our personal preferences. Perhaps they are even subject to a more stringent set of deliberations, seeing as additional kitchen appliances require the reduction of a valued commodity: counter space. However a device that may be frivolous or unnecessary dressed in one design sense may look the part of high fashion in another.
Depending upon personal tastes, the Nostalgia Electrics Retro Stir Popcorn Popper ($39.99) may or may not be the perfect accessory for your kitchen countertop. Those … Read more

Alright, everyone. Stow away the excitement and the frivolous celebrating. The Pittsburgh Penguins are behind us, and we're on the brink of knowing which Eastern Conference Club is next to strike.
Minus the Flyers, each Eastern Conference squad in the post-season is facing elimination the next couple days. Surprisingly all the underdogs have taken their favored adversaries to Game 7 of their QuarterFinals series.
The Ottawa Senators have managed to upset the number one seeded New York Rangers in three games more than anyone expected (Series tied, 3 - 3). The Florida Panthers may actually be the real deal, and have dropped the New Jersey Devils on the scoreboard three times (Series tied, 3 - 3). And lastly, the Washington Capitals just won't quit, and have forced a Game 7 on the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Boston Bruins (Series tied, 3 - 3).
Tomorrow evening the NHL will host the OTT vs NYR, and NJ vs FLA elimination contests.
But tonight.....the big bad Beantown Bears skate against the Capitals at TD Garden for their elimination game.
The Philadelphia Flyers can literally face either of the six Clubs. This is how it breaks down...
If these teams advance:
Stay tuned at 7:30 tonight to any of these television networks: CBC, RDS, NBCSN, CSN-DC, NESN (HD)

Japan moved a step closer to a place at Brazil 2014 by beating an inexperienced Iraq 1-0 in Tuesday's World Cup qualifier.
The sole goal came in the 25th minute from some lax defending, as Shinji Okazaki got in behind the defense from a throw-in and his volleyed cross found an unmarked Ryoichi Maeda, who headed home from inside the six-yard box.
"It worked just like in practice," Maeda said of his goal. "Okazaki made a great pass and I didn't have to do too much. It was a huge win for us and I am happy to contribute."
Japan solidified its already-commanding lead in Group B with 10 points, eight ahead of Iraq. Group rivals Jordan and Australia had a chance to make up ground when they met later Tuesday.
"We knew if we played our brand of football we could get the result we wanted," Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni said. ''We're happy to get the three points as we want to qualify as soon as possible."
Iraq coach Zico - formerly coach of Japan - sprang a surprise by changing the entire starting lineup from the previous qualifier, leaving out stars Younes Mahmoud and Nashat Akram, who came on as second-half substitutes.
Japan's Manchester United midfielder Shinji Kagawa sat out the match with a back injury sustained in training on Monday.
Despite its inexperience, Iraq fashioned some decent chances. In the fourth minute, Ahmed Yaseen's corner set up Ali Bahjat Fadhil for a close-range header that was batted away by Japan goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima.
In the 21st minute, Iraq created another golden opportunity from a corner but Hammadi Ahmad's close-range shot flicked off a defender and went wide, and in the 41st Yaseen came close again when he made a quick break and his curling shot forced a diving save from Kawashima.
CSKA Moscow midfielder Keisuke Honda came close to doubling the lead in the 79th minute, with his diving header bringing a sprawling save by Iraq goalkeeper Noor Sabri, deflecting the ball onto a post.
Iraq's next qualifier will be away to Australia next month, while Japan skips the next match day before a qualifier on Nov. 14 at Oman.

Stream cachingWhile stream types (like StreamSource, InputStream and Reader) are commonly used in messaging for performance reasons, they also have an important drawback: they can only be read once. In order to be able to work with message content multiple times, the stream needs to be cached. Streams are caching in memory. In Camel 2.0, large stream messages (over 64 Kb) will be cached in a temporary file instead – Camel itself will handle deleting the temporary file once the cached stream is no longer necessary. In Camel 2.0 stream cache is default disabled out of the box.
Enabling stream cachingIn Apache Camel, you can explicitly enable stream caching for a single route with the streamCaching DSL method: from("jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyService") .streamCaching() .to("jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyOtherService"); In Spring XML you enable it by setting the streamCache="true" attribute on the route tag. <route streamCache="true"> <from uri="jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyService"/> <to uri="jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyOtherService"/> </route> ScopesStreamCache supports the global and per route scope. So by setting the streamCache attribute on camelContext you can enable/disable it globally. <camelContext streamCache="true"> ... </camelContext> The route scope is configured by the streamCache attribute on the <route> tag such as: <route streamCache="true"> <from uri="jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyService"/> <to uri="jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyOtherService"/> </route> You can mix and match for instance you can enable it globally and disable it on a particular route such as: <camelContext streamCache="true"> <route> <from uri="jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyService"/> <to uri="jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyOtherService"/> </route> <route streamCache="false"> <from uri="jms:queue:foo"/> <to uri="jms:queue:bar"/> </route> </camelContext> Enabling from Java DSLIn Camel 2.0 you can enable stream cache by setting the property on CamelContext, for instance in a RouteBuilder class: context.setStreamCache(true); from("jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyService") .to("jbi:service:http://foo.bar.org/MyOtherService"); Disable stream caching explicitlyIf you have enabled stream caching globally on the CamelContext and you want to disable it for certain routes in a selective manner, you can use the following syntax. Spring DSL: <camelContext streamCache="true"> <route streamCache="false"> <from uri="jetty:http://0.0.0.0:9090"/> <to uri="file:target/incoming"/> </route> </camelContext> Java DSL: context.setStreamCache(true); from("jetty:http://0.0.0.0:9090").noStreamCaching() .to("file:target/incoming"); Implicitly enabled for multicast and dead letter channel (Camel 1.x)Some EIPs require that the message content can be read multiple times. Stream caching will be automatically enabled when using these EIPs in your routes:
Streaming cache to filesWhen stream cache is enabled it will by default spool big streams to files instead of keeping them in memory. The default threshold is 64kb but you can configure it with the following properties:
You set these properties on the CamelContext as shown below: context.getProperties().put(CachedOutputStream.TEMP_DIR, "/tmp/cachedir"); context.getProperties().put(CachedOutputStream.THRESHOLD, "1024"); context.getProperties().put(CachedOutputStream.BUFFER_SIZE, "4096"); // to enable encryption using RC4 // context.getProperties().put(CachedOutputStream.CIPHER_TRANSFORMATION, "RC4"); Disabling spooling to diskAvailable as of *Camel 1.6.2/2.0 // disable spooling to disk context.getProperties().put(CachedOutputStream.THRESHOLD, "0"); How it works?In order to determine if a type requires caching, we leverage the type converter feature. Any type that requires stream caching can be converted into an org.apache.camel.StreamCache instance. |

It was really difficult to decide on one deviations. There are so many tremendously beautiful, touching, enchanting and fascinating artworks on here ... if you know how to look for them . The ones I love the most aren't necessarily the ones that show the greatest artistic skill - more the ones which show the passion of the artist. Finally, I have settled on a poem because I firmly believe that writers don't get the exposure or recognition they deserve on here. It's a short one and it's a rather well known one (for literature, that is) but it takes my breath away every single time I read it. I'm not even sure why .

Austin, TXUSA 78757

I jog my dog about 3-4 times a week and really enjoy running with a dog. I compete in many endurance runs including ultra marathons and dogs are the best running partners for such events.

Our calendar
RuffTail Runners (formerly "Jog-a-Dog") is a program brought to you by Team Spiridon, that encourages runners to run with shelter dogs, giving the dogs a little more exercise "off-campus", away from the stressful shelter environment. As a result, they are better-adjusted, healthier, and therefore, more adoptable.
This program is for runners, or at least walkers who can get the dogs out for a few miles - higher paces keep the dogs more focused and gives them more exercise, and makes some of them easier to handle, but getting them walked for more time and distance than they're used to is valuable, as well. Currently, the program is up and running at Austin Pets Alive!'s Town Lake facility, at 1156 West Cesar Chavez. We hope to expand the program to the Austin Humane Society, Williamson County Humane Society, and other shelters.
Please head over to our website, which will give you some basic information that you need to know, and instructions on how to participate.
But FIRST, please give entering this program some careful consideration. We've trained, get this, around a thousand people to participate in the program, but less than 40 to 50 people come to participate on any sort of regular basis. We understand the need for volunteer hours, and for people to see if the program is a good fit for them or not, and we and the dogs are incredibly grateful for any time you can give. But, we need to be able to focus volunteer time and resources on giving better training to fewer, but more highly-committed and available volunteers.
This is one of Team Spiridon's programs, and is driven primarily by volunteers. So, we offer training sessions as our schedule allows. As soon as we know when we can hold a session, we will post it. If a training session is not posted, then we don't know for certain when it will be. Please do not email or otherwise ask when the next session is. Because of the high volume of these questions, we may not respond.
So, if you're ready to make a bit of a commitment to come out, even on an occasional basis, to make a dog's day, then please join us, and thanks!
