Alex Rodriguez offered new details Tuesday about his performance-enhancing drug use, saying his cousin injected him with an over-the-counter substance to gain an energy boost.
The New York Yankees star said using the banned drug that he said he obtained from the Dominican Republic was a "stupid mistake."
"I knew we weren't taking Tic Tacs," said Rodriguez.
A-Rod takes his medicine
That "equalization" payent the Yankees have to pay each year because they spend so much on ther roster (their BULLPEN gets more than something like 15 teams in the majors) is more than made up for by their local sweetheart TV deal. Which pays them more than the entire league receives from the major U.S. networks.
You have to wonder what it's like to be a fan of a team which, breaking spring training each season and looking at 162 games, knows they don't have the chance of a snowball in hell (hello Blue Jays). Gary O., 2009-03-24 15:41:49
No kidding it was a stupid mistake. Just remember you wreaked not only your overpaid and overpriced career but you scared all those fans that looked up to you expecially the children. I hear it's tomato night at the Ballpark and I have a whole sack of them for you A hockey fan, 2009-03-20 10:32:36
He should be thrown out of the league Ozzy, 2009-03-02 07:22:40
But that will never happen, let's put it all into perpsective shall we...gambling (a legal venture) is far far worse than using an illegal substance to better your performance right? S.T. Collisse, 2009-02-23 12:30:35

Yorkshire. Green hills, jagged drystone walls, flat caps, Yorkshire puddings, and – of course – pint upon pint of tawny Yorkshire Ale. The Yorkshire pint is revered across the world, a mark of quality and a guarantee of satisfaction and craftsmanship.
Except there's much more to it than that – much, much more. The current boom in Craft and Microbrewing that the UK is seeing has exploded across Yorkshire, and the Yorkshire beer of today is more than just a pint of Best.
The new generation of Yorkshire brewers are breaking rules and traditions, resurrecting lost dynasties, soaking up influences from food and brewing in other countries and bringing a wave of fresh ideas to our beloved Yorkshire beer.
Leigh Linley has spent time with a handful of the region's newest and most critically–acclaimed brewers, from the south to east ridings – and Great Yorkshire Beer is their story. Each brewer is interviewed and their most successful beers are profiled. Food pairings for the beers run throughout, along with recipes for complementary snacks and main meals.
Brewers featured in Great Yorkshire Beer By Leigh Linley include
The Brew Co (Sheffield)
Ilkley Brewery (Ilkley)
Kirkstall Brewery (Leeds)
Leeds Brewery (Leeds)
Little Valley Brewery (Cragg Vale)
Magic Rock Brewery (Huddersfield)
Mallinsons Brewery (Huddersfield)
Revolutions Brewing Co (Castleford)
Rooster's Brewing Co (Knaresborough)
Saltaire Brewery (Shipley)
Summer Wine Brewery (Honley)
Wharfebank Brewery (Pool in Wharfedale, nr Leeds)
Wold Top Brewery (Hunmanby)
There is also a feature on breweries in the Dales.
"With great knowledge, obvious passion and an appropriate sense of Yorkshire pride, Leigh takes us round to meet the men and women who are making Yorkshire beer top of the national chart, as well as giving us great recipes matched with some of the county's top new brews."
From the foreword by Greg Mulholland MP – Chair, Parliamentary Save the Pub Group and one of CAMRA Top 40 Campaigners

Took some better photos today..
Also, for those who have a second, I updated page 1 of my build thread. Contains photos/stages of both my A4 and S4 over the last 3 years and a brief summary. Check it out!
hows working on the s4? i really wanna pull the trigger on one but, i dont think my parents want me pulling engines in their garage ^.^
Mine's bone stock aside from coilovers, chip, and exhaust. I've just done regular maintenance like timing belt/water pump, throttle body hose, alternator, and starter. It's been great. I don't ever plan on modding it performance-wise, because that's when you start running into your problems. The S4 is fast enough as-is.
your car is an inspiration for me.
I My Audrina.when in doubt, lower it.
RIP Judy Kim.
A little update. Trans is good now, brand new tires were installed along with an alignment. Bring on the midwest winter.

Cheap TV's and laptops are enough motivation for families all across the country to ditch Thanksgiving and celebrate Black Friday Eve!
A handful of people started the line at Best Buy in West Lebanon, New Hampshire at 6:30 last night. They spent the night in heated tents, and even had bacon and eggs for breakfast thanks to the grill they hooked up to their truck.
They say the deals are worth it. One family is hoping to get a 40 inch flat screen TV for 180 bucks.
"When the stores opened at five in the morning you could have Thanksgiving dinner and then come down here after dinner but now that they're doing this midnight opening you have to miss Thanksgiving dinner and that's the price you pay, but we'll get leftovers tomorrow," Black Friday camper/shopper, Jennlynn Badger said.
The Badger family has been doing this for five years in a row, and they say this was by far the warmest year ever!

I was reading an old book on New England folklore the other day. I don't read often, but the book got me thinking of things I remember hearing some old-timers from New England say. Like:
"Is it raining hard?"
"Just like a cow pissing on a flat rock."
"more nervous than a long tailed tomcat in a room full of rocking chairs."
"Crookeder than a dogs hind leg"
What else has everyone else heard? I know those sayings are still out there!

Our "Fantastic Four" Science Students |
Zachry Middle School went to the Regional Middle School Science Bowl competition on Friday and Saturday, May 4th and 5th with three teams. The students had to compete in a double elimination science fact quiz bowl and had to design and build a car that runs on a hydrogen fuel cell.
Our teams competed against other Northside middle schools as well as schools from other districts. One of Zachry's teams came in first in the Science quiz bowl portion and fourth in the Hydrogen fuel cell car race. This gave the team first place overall in the contest. This team will be flown to Denver, CO for an all-expense paid trip to the National competition. There are only 4 teams from Texas invited to the national competition and 30 teams from the entire U.S., so this is a great honor for our students. The students' names are Scott, Zachary, Donald, and Steven (see pictures) The first picture was taken on Saturday, May 5th at the conclusion of the Science Bowl. The second picture was taken on the following Monday with their Science teacher, Mrs. Key.
A team from Jordan Middle School came in a very close second.
Congratulations to Zachry Science teacher and sponsor, Mrs. Key and to our "Fantastic Four" winners!!

I admit this is one of the bronzers looks like a mulch, sometimes companies made some bronzer they are too far too dark for even medium skin tones, i do not understand the reason to give you dark brown cheeks, if it is for contouring yeah i than i will say ok, because after you apply your contour powder, you use your blush.
But there are many fans of this bronzer, i have to confess that i like the smell of bronzers. they smell really really nice..

First You need to know your intensity level
1- Light / Very Fair
4- Medium / Deep
6- Very Deep
Skin has even toned neutral cast and it is not so pink or gold
Skin has a rosy cast and burns easily when exposed to sun
Skin has a golden or olive cast and burns easily when exposed to sun
Shade: | C | NC | N | W | NW |
Stands for: | Cool | Neutral Cool | Neutral | Warm | Neutral Warm |
Match for | Yellow-Golden Olive Skin | Golden Beige Skin | Beige Skin | Pinkish Skin | Pink Beige Skin |
The first step in selecting your shade is to simply look at your skin, without makeup, in daylight. If your skin looks more Yellow/Golden Olive or Golden Beige, you match with Neutral Cool or "NC" shades. If your skin is a neutral beige, you will match with the Neutral or "N" shades. If your skin looks more Pink Beige, you match with Neutral Warm or "NW" shades. This might seem backwards since usually we think of pinkish skin tones as cool and yellowish skin tones as warm
By looking at your skin in daylight, most skin tones will fall into either the NC or NW classifications. However, if you are still not certain which classification is right for you, looking at the undertones in your skin will help. To determine what your undertones are, take a look at the underside of your forearm. If your vein looks more blue, then you most likely have pinkish undertones. If your vein looks more greenish, then you have more yellow or golden undertones. If at all possible, it is highly recommended to match your skin tone in person at make up Counters
Finding the "right" colour is something very subjective. It is a good idea to choose the shade in person by visiting a Make UP counter if at all possible.
When choosing a foundation shade, you will want to make sure you use the skin near your jaw line or neck area as your criteria for determining your match. This helps to ensure flawless blending and to avoid ending up with a face that's too light or too dark that doesn't match the rest of your skin! If you simply try to match the skin tone on your forehead or cheeks, you will often end up with a shade that looks to dark compared to the rest of you. It is much better to choose the shade that matches your jaw line/neckline, and then to use a Bronzer or Skin finish to highlight or add "sun" to your face, if desired. (Also, when it comes to actual makeup application, be sure to blend foundations and powders around the jaw line and into the neckline.)
With concealers, it is possible you may want to try a concealer with a slight tint to it. This will help cover up dark undereye circles or reddish imperfections.
Slightly yellowish tones will help to cancel out and cover up dark purplish/blueish undereye circles. (Or just selecting a concealer that is a few shades lighter than your regular foundation will also work well for diminishing undereye circles.)
Slightly greenish toned concealers will help to cancel out any reddish tones in your skin caused by acne, or other skin conditions.
If you have a significant undertone to your skin, you may choose to play it up or play it down by trying a shade that includes or excludes your undertones.
Often, people will wear a couple different shades throughout the year because skin shade and tone can change according to the season, physical well being and general lighting.
It's nearly summer. And the wedding season has just started, i know some of my readers are going to get married in few months time, so i decided to do a post about bridal make up…
Your choice of shades and application technique will be key to your bridal makeup look. Not only should it look fantastic but it also needs to be photo-friendly and stay fresh-looking throughout the day and evening
Your wedding day make up depends on how much product you normally use in your daily life, your wedding dress and the season, conception of the wedding, place of the wedding, whether it is going to be a indoors or outdoors, is it going to be in a garden, sea side, etc, You need to use lighter textured products for spring and summer weddings.
Try to use a foundation which stays for 12 to 15 hrs with light texture but full coverage a powdery foundation which you can use wet and dry , cream foundation,( if i need to give an example MAC's new Mineral Compact Foundation SPF 15) which stays on top to ensure you stay shine free. On my next post i will post about how to find your perfect foundation shade, so do not buy any foundation without reading my post.
An Autumn – Winter wedding requires for a bronze added colour, to avoid to look so white, so your dress will be white, or creamy if you do not wear bronze added products you will be as white as a sheet.
Your bridal look will help transform you into a vision of radiance for your wedding day and beyond
Also you need to you use a foundation primer underneath your foundation, if you are a summer bride there are some spray to fix your make up, which makes your make up to stay longer, before choosing your make up artist for the big day, try to get some appointments from different make up artists ask a friend of you take your pictures, than download those pictures to your PC have a look than decide which make up artist you want to work with,
DO not go to a make up artist just because your friend also choose that person on her wedding day as her make up artist
remember do not use anything glittery
Here is a video from Estee Lauder
Here is a list of Bridal Make up Must have's
Eyelash curlers
Waterproof Mascara
Make-up brushes
Long-lasting lipstick
Foundation primer
False eyelashes
Every bride wants to look their best on their wedding day. And we know how important it is for you to look beautiful all day long, so for that guaranteed 'wow' factor, follow our top bridal makeup tips to ensure you really do look your beautiful best on your big day.
Starting with concealer and foundation. Be careful about the colour foundation you choose. Whilst you should always go for a match as near as your skin, anything too pale will make you look washed out if you are wearing a white/ivory dress. Try to choose a yellow toned foundation to bring warmth into your face. Alternatively use bronzing powder to give you a bit of colour – if you are wearing a low cut dress remember to sweep it across the chest area so you don't look "two toned".
Whilst there are some lovely "shine" products available to give a dewy complexion, again be very careful where you use them. In photographs it will be easy to mistake the "glow" for sweat – not nice. If you are applying a highlighter, stick to brow bones, cheekbones and a dab in the middle of your lips. If you are wearing a low cut dress add a little on your décolletage. Beware of any makeup that is too sparkly, this can look strange in the photos. Matte is usually best.
Pending on what season you are getting married this will also have to be taken into account when planning your makeup. Avoid anything too shiny on your skin if you are getting married in the summer, stick to a coloured lip-gloss but don't wear shine all-over. Light formulas are better as you don't want your makeup melting in the sun. Winter make up can be more dramatic although again it's best to stick to a stronger look of your usual make up, bear in mind if it is a very cold day, you may want a green concealer. Green will counteract any redness to stop you looking like Rudolph!
To make your lipstick last all day. First apply a lip primer to give your lips an even surface and rid of any flaky bits. I always apply foundation to the lips and let it dry – this gives a good base. Then line your lips with your lip pencil (which should be the same shade as your lipstick). Then fill in all your lips with the pencil. Finally on top of that apply your lipstick. Blot with a tissue and reapply your lipstick – repeat this twice. Now your lipstick should stay on all day. If it does start to wear off you will have the lip pencil underneath so your lips won't look patchy.
Although foundation/concealer should be left to areas where you need it, i.e. around the nose then blended into the cheeks (you don't want to put it everywhere otherwise it will look false), you can also apply to your eyes to give your eye shadow a good base and something to cling on to.
Eyebrows - have them professionally shaped before your big day and enhance them with a same colour eyebrow shade. Eyebrows frame your face and it can make a huge difference if you have the professionally shaped – a la Liz Hurley!
To make your eyes look bigger and whiter choose dark navy mascara. If you are dark skinned or have brown eyes then black is usually best. Brown mascara can make eyes look tired.
To lift your eyes apply a highlighter just below your brow bone. If you have small eyelids, apply a highlighter just in the center of the eyelid and a dark brown shade in the eyelid crease – this will lift your eyes. White/ivory eyeliner in the rim of your eyes also makes them appear brighter, however be careful if you wear contact lenses as your eyes maybe sensitive. To make your eyes look more wide set blend the highlighter in the inner corner of your eyes.
For a natural flush apply a light natural pink shade onto the apples of your cheeks – don't go to harsh, especially if you are drinking which can give you a natural flush look without the blush.
Finally remember on your big day to have the following to hand.
Cotton buds, to wipe away any smudges under the eyes
Your lippy, should you need a touch up.
Some translucent powder to blot away any sweaty patches
Breath freshener
(Contact lens solution – if you wear them.
Small phial of your perfume to keep you smelling gorgeous

Warren Up in Polls, Herald Endorses Brown: Who's Winning?
With Warren holding a small lead in the polls, and Brown getting a key endorsement from the Boston Herald, who do you think has the momentum coming into the final days of the election?
Democrat Elizabeth Warren is up by five points over incumbent Republican Scott Brown in the latest WBUR/MassINC poll of the Massachusetts senate race. That's a near-total reversal of the BUR poll last month, which had Brown up by four on Oct. 9. In fact, Warren has been trending upwards in most recent polling. The New York Times' FiveThirtyEight blog has Warren up by four in an average of recent polls. The blog, which uses advanced statistical modeling akin to baseball sabermetrics (think Moneyball) gives Warren an 89 percent chance of winning the election. But Brown's got some significant energy on his side as well. He's been barnstorming the state with political luminaries like Senator John McCain and today won the Boston herald's …

Sorry for the total lack of punctuality, friends and neighbors. Let's call this your last-minute push to the polls! This feels like a small election because of the relatively short ballot, but there's some important decisions to be made. I had a reduced research period, so this is largely resourced through the CA Legislative Budget Analyst's web site, the SFBG and League of Young Voters' endorsements, and for opposition research, FoxNews.
Let's hop to it:
Democratic Primary: President Obama
Republican Primary: Ron Paul
3rd parties: no endorsements
US Senate: Dianne Feinstein
US Congress District 12: Nancy Pelosi
US Congress District 14: Jackie Speier
State Senate, District 3: Mark Leno
State Assembly, District 13: Tom Ammiano
State Assembly, District 19: Phil Ting
Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) District 17: Avalos, Chiu, Haaland, Midgen, Rosenthal
Prop 28: Limits on Legislators' Terms in Office. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. YES
Prop 29 :Imposes Additional Tax on Cigarettes for Cancer Research. Initiative Statute YES
Prop A: Competitive bidding for trash & recycling - NO
Prop B: Coit Tower (policy statement) - YES
Democratic Primary: President Obama, need you even ask?
Republican Primary: Ron Paul, just to appease Chicken John and to thumb your nose at Romney.
3rd parties: no endorsements
As much as I love the idea of legitimate and influential 3rd party candidates for higher office, I see no point and think it is a waste of 3rd party resources when they could be focusing on smaller races they could actually win and on local and state legislation which they could actually influence. I welcome debate on this.
US Senate: Dianne Feinstein
My love/hate relationship with her continues. I look forward to the day a truly radical progressive can reach this office. Until then, Feinstein is the juggernaut who keeps the Republicans from stealing this seat. Her record is both an embarrassing legacy of compromise to the oligarchy to which she belongs, and a remarkable list of accomplishments protecting our civil rights over 4 decades, but her power as a leading liberal force in the snake pit of the DC GOP in deniable: THEY HATE AND FEAR HER. Like Obama, however much she may disappoint, we need her to stay as long as she can and to continue to wield the power of her intellect and compassion as the head of .
US Congress District 12: Nancy Pelosi
That which is true for Feinstein is doubly so for Pelosi, except that I disagree with her less frequently. Her time as the Speaker alone should speak for itself. Not only is she a powerhouse of a fundraiser, the GOP fear her even more than Feinstein, and she stands in the same symbolic posture that Pres. Obama does - an "other" to be feared and vilified. The attack dogs of the GOP calling her the usual names is a sign to watch: anyone they allow their base to call a "cunt" is a winner in my book.
US Congress District 14: Jackie Speier
One of the bravest people n Congress, Speier is a passionately intelligent and courageous advocate for women's rights, facing off against the tidal wave of misogynistic legislation coming from our Koch-backed friends o the state and federal level. We need her as one of the very few Democrats willing to shame the GOP for their outrageous and ongoing attacks.
State Senate, District 11: Mark Leno
One of our local darlings made good, Leno is a forceful proponent of reasonable business and a passionate advocate for civil liberties including internet freedoms, marriage equality, environmental responsibility…the list goes on.
State Assembly, District 17: Tom Ammiano
All that and a bag of chips, Ammiano is Leno's ideological twin in the Assembly, furthering a blessedly progressive agenda that includes campaign reform and marijuana law reform. I've supported him since he was our most charming Supe.
State Assembly, District 17: Phil Ting
While not impressed with his mayoral campaign, I've been very impressed with the work he's done going after the fraudulent foreclosures here, and his tax justice efforts to get the Catholic Church and other commercial property owners to pay their fair share, and his whole Reset San Francisco program. He's a good guy with a crusading spirit, and we need more fiscally-minded, smart, impassioned folks like him in Sacramento.
Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) District 17:
Avalos, Chiu, Haaland, Midgen, Rosenthal
Load em up with proven and passionate progressives and maybe the DCCC will stop being such a back-biting group of pandering dickheads. Hey, I said "might".
Prop 28: Limits on Legislators' Terms in Office. Initiative Constitutional Amendment. YES
Scary as it might seem to increase the length of time a person can stay in a particular office, this means the next Mark Leno or Tom Ammiano can work on the issues we care about in the same seat for 12 years, instead of 6 or 8.
Term limits are one of those knee-jerk issues that folks frame within the context of their dissatisfaction with government. The idea of career politicians upsets many, as they are perceived as being wholly self-interested at best, and at worst, pawns in the pocket of larger forces. While the fear is real and legitimate, the solution of the nearly religious advocacy of short term limits is not.
Currently, you can be a State Assemblyperson for 3 terms of two-years each, and a State Senator for 2 terms of four years each. You can then jump ship to from one to other. If you win all possible elections, you can serve in the CA state government for a total of 14 years, 8 in the Senate and 6 in the Assembly.
The goal of these shorter term limits in each of the CA governing bodies was to ensure we don't give those folks too much traction in any one seat. It is a policy of fear, of guarding agains "the enemy" as opposed to supporting our better advocates.
The unholy irony that elected officials have no qualification requirements other than citizenship and a lack of felony convictions has the predictable effect of a steep learning curve once in office. Anybody who starts a new job has to be given time to learn the ropes; imagine this for someone with perhaps . They must learn the rules and social mores of their office whether it is City Council or Governorship. They must develop the staff that they will rely upon daily to organize and interpret proposed legislation and analyze and present budgets. They have to build relationships with the community and business lobbyists upon whom they rely as parters in developing policy. Six or eight years is not really a lot of time. Just as you've hit a sweet spot of learning how to get things done, you're out. New officials mean new networks, and new opportunities for the influence of the corporate right-wing - whom we know generally has significantly more money to spend.
I find the short term limits we imposed, and the fear that drives them, to be a kind of anti-intellectualism. We spend hundreds of thousands, - and increasingly, millions - of dollars to get these people elected. We give them just enough time to either just get their feet wet on the issues we care about, or opportunistically abuse the office for a few quick bucks or future support for higher office in exchange for political favoritism. With short limits comes an even greater lack of accountability, imo.
It might have sounded good at the time, but if we look for empirical evidence of success, it's not that easy to find. CA is certainly in no better shape for it. This notion that shorter = better speaks to our fear of being under the thumb of the opposing party for too long, and of good-old boy cronyism. This legislation, while shortening the overall amount of time a person can serve in government from 14 to 12 years, actually lengthens the limit of time a person can hold any single office.
Lastly, as much as I love to participate in voting, elections cost a lot of taxpayer and individual contributor money. They require a lot of time and resources. They result in what I feel is an unhealthy amount of propaganda of an unhealthy nature which foments divisiveness while making us, quite frankly, stupider, nastier, more jaded and less informed in our political and social opinions. Any seat race offers an opportunity for more propositions, which until we correct the destructive and obstructive 2/3 majority rule, will continue to drive us deeper into debt, just as it have for the past two decades, as we vote for legislation which we don't necessarily understand and which requires mortgaging ever more of our future tax dollars.
Prop 29 :Imposes Additional Tax on Cigarettes for Cancer Research. Initiative Statute YES
I support anything that will get people to reduce smoking tobacco and weaken the tobacco lobby. But this bill is actually pretty awesome. According to the CA Legislative Analyst's Office, it breaks down like this:
60% - about $468M annually for research for the prevention, early detection, treatments and potential cures or cancer and other tobacco-related disease (heart disease, emphysema, etc.)
20% - about $156M to CA's existing tobacco prevention and cessation program, divided between the CA Dept of Public Health (8o%) and the Dept of Education (20%)
15% - about $117M annually specifically for facilities to do the above biomedical, epidemiological, behavioral, and health services work
3% - about $23M annually to tobacco law enforcement efforts against smuggling, tax evasion, sales to minors etc.
2% - specifically, "no more than 2%" or about $16M annually for administration
There would also be a governing body of 9 people to run this program and coordinate between all the research facilities and government agencies:
- the Chancellors of UCSF, UC Berkeley, and UC Santa Cruz, where the vast majority of the research will happen
- 3 directors from the National Cancer Institute, to be appointed by the Governor
- 1 practicing physician from the CA Academic Medical Center with expertise in cardiovascular disease, to be appointed by the Governor
- 2 representatives from CA and/or national disease advocacy groups, to be selected by the CA Dept of Public Health
- plus a committee to establish a peer review process for grants
The only thing that gives me pause is the argument that this is a regressive tax that disproportionately affects poorer Californians. It is. And that sucks. But you know what sucks more? Trying to get treatment for lung disease without health coverage. Dying from preventable disease. And knowing that by smoking, you are funding the right-wing forces that are hell-bent on keeping you poor, sick, and powerless.
Prop A: Competitive bidding for trash & recycling - NO
While I absolutely agree than monopolies are not good, and that all City contracts should require fair competition, this legislation SUCKS. It breaks down the services into 5 contracts, and forbids a single company to hold all 5 which sounds good on paper but will mean more trucks, more complicated schedules, and less predictable rates. It limits those contracts to 5 years, which makes long-term projects nearly impossible to plan and execute with adequate accountability. And the fact that while yes, they currently have a monopoly, Recology does a *great* job. They should not have the unfair advantage they do, but until the City can come up with a better plan for change, lets stick with the efficient, fair-priced, reliable devil we know.
Prop B: Coit Tower - YES
The net-net is that our mayor and the mayors before him have sucked at responsibly managing our public parks and landmarks, so privatization is all the rage because they'd rather pimp out our public spaces rather than make the wealthy and their businesses pay a fair share of taxes.
This was written to make very clear the City's policy against double-dipping the rest of us and reducing our public spaces to party venues for rich folks. Among its other features, Coit Tower's Rivera murals are a testament to civil and artistic dissent, the subject matter chosen by some of the artists was a protest against Rockefeller's destruction of Rivera's "Man at the Crossroads", a brilliant consideration and critique of the influence and morality (and amorality, and immorality) of industry and the titans behind it, as they affect our national and international culture and the lives of everyday people. It is of the deepest and blackest irony that this proposition even had to be written, but some things do remain, must remain, sacred.
Thanks for reading this far, if you did. Now get thee to the polls!

LUMBERTON — Although the official grand-opening ceremony for the long-awaited multi-purpose pavilion at the N.C. Southeastern Agricultural Center/Farmers Market isn't until Tuesday, there will be plenty of action at the site during the coming weekend.
Activities kick off Friday when the Borderbelt Horseman's Association sponsors an open house at the 50,000-square-foot pre-engineered steel structure from 3 to 6 p.m. Free tours and refreshments will be available.
"We're inviting everybody to come out and see the pavilion," said Cecil Jackson, the association's vice president. "We're tickled to death with it. We're proud to have it."
Jackson said he personally has been working for 21 years to bring to Robeson County a facility where major equestrian and livestock activities can be showcased. The pavilion has been constructed so that other kinds of events can be held there, and already bookings include family reunions and at least one wedding.
On Friday, beginning at 6 p.m., the first equestrian event in the new building will be held. Jackson said that the Borderbelt Horseman's Association's open barrel horse show will include about 150 horses.
Jackson said that a general open horse show, sponsored by the Borderbelt Horseman's Association, will be held on Saturday beginning at 9 a.m.
'The show will include a couple hundred horses and probably last until about 9 p.m.," Jackson said.
Being able to provide for major equestrian events will be a tremendous economic boost for the local economy, according to Jackson.
"A facility like this in Williamston brought in about $1,143,000 in just three days," he said.
On Tuesday, Steve Troxler, commissioner of the N.C. Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services, will be present for the pavilion's grand opening ceremony. The ceremony begins at 11 a.m.
The Department of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs has overseen construction of the facility, which is part of the state-owned agricultural center and farmers market. The need for an arena to hold horse shows and other livestock events had been floated for years as a way to make the agricultural complex self-supporting.
The pavilion, which provides seating for 1,000, has a dirt floor to allow for equestrian and other livestock events. A covering, to eventually be replaced by a permanent portable floor system, can be placed over the dirt to allow for other uses, such as concerts, corporate events, trade shows, family reunions, high school proms and weddings.

Steamboat's CMC campus still exploring options
Board of Trustees takes no action on proposed new campus, secondary road
Tuesday, September 21, 2010
Steamboat Springs The Colorado Mountain College Board of Trustees took no action Monday regarding the stalled $23 million proposal to build a new geoexchange facility and secondary access road at Alpine Campus in Steamboat Springs, but system officials are pressing forward regardless.
During a conference call after Monday's meeting in Leadville, CMC President Stan Jensen said the college would continue doing what it's been doing: exploring other options for the Steamboat Springs project.
The viability of that project has come into question since the Steamboat Springs City Council and members of the public expressed concerns Sept. 7 with the access road proposed for the north side of Lincoln Avenue at 13th Street. Those worries include that the road would affect traffic at the 13th Street intersection and encroach on Iron Springs and West Lincoln parks. Concerns about limited space at the existing campus and the road's impact to the hillside at the western entrance of downtown also were raised.
Jensen said options for the project include exploring other locations in Steamboat and Routt County as satellite campuses, or moving the existing campus.
Another possibility includes reviewing the existing Crawford Spur off 12th Street, a temporary fire and emergency services access, for the secondary access road, Jensen said.
The spur was identified early in the planning of the new facility as an option for the secondary access road, but 13th Street became the preference.
Jensen said re-engineering the secondary access road at 13th Street to address council's concerns isn't an option. After spending $500,000 during the past 16 months, he said the road was engineered to the city's specifications.
"It's been frustrating," Jensen said.
The secondary access road is a requirement of the city for fire and emergency services per the intergovernmental agreement CMC signed with the city in 1997.
Jensen said there's been some confusion about what the agreement requires. He said CMC has been seeking clarification.
Fire Marshal Jay Muhme said the agreement states that future renovations to the existing campus would determine whether the access road was necessary. Muhme said the construction of new buildings and significant renovations would trigger the need for the access road, while the city didn't require it of smaller CMC projects in the past.
"It, right now, deserves and is required to have a secondary access," he said about the campus. "We allowed them to put a temporary access until they built another building or made sizable renovations."
Jensen said CMC would continue to work with the city on other options for the project, but another presentation before the City Council has not been scheduled. He said there is no timeline for the project.
"We are still very much committed to Routt County and Steamboat Springs to provide the best higher education possible," he said.

It is important for additional clarification to be made in the form of a statement from City Council. It does not seem likely that they intended to give the impression that was received by President Jensen, that the bar would now be raised and that the college would have to meet a new set of unwritten specifications. It also does not seem likely that they wish to discourage the expansion at the present location, but that has been the effect.
Is it possible that the college could meet all the specifications and still be denied a permit to make this addition to the campus?
The college could conceivably use its authority to take the land by eminent domain but why would they want to fight town hall when other campuses around the state would welcome a new facility?
I believe many of the citizens of this town also would appreciate a statement directly from council so they do not have to rely solely on the newspapers reporters descriptions for their information.

yvb How much more traffic at 13th if they move or split the campus. The likely new site would be 700 acres a little west of town, or maybe the lower third of Orton's holdings if he made them a reasonable offer.

All the things that can come out of the stable
Have you ever asked yourself how farmers get rid of all the cow manure their cows produce or what can be done with all that waste? Sure everyone says, knowing that the slurry can be used as fertiliser on the fields and also for the production of bio-gas. But, there are more offbeat ideas than the run-of-the-mill use. Two ingenious dairy farmers from the US use their manure to produce environmentally friendly and 100% biodegradable flower pots, the so-called "CowPots".
You may now ask yourself: "Don't these pots disintegrate when you water your flowers?" The same thought has occurred to the two as well. Therefore, they have devised a method to prevent that from happening.
Both have owned a so-called methane fermenter for several years now. The methane gas is removed from the raw manure and the liquid is separated from the solid substances. The remaining material is used as the base for the CowPots. The material is mixed with fertiliser fibers and finally dried in a tabletop kiln.
This simple manufacturing method enables the quick and inexpensive production of these flower pots. Repotting also becomes unnecessary because the flower pots dissolve in the ground within 3 to 4 weeks. Hence, saving on fertilisation and work effort.
Along with the CowPots, many other funny ideas can be found about things farmers take out of their stables.
One special type of product is marketed by Daniela Dorrer in her onlineshop: Barn air in the can. The mix of animal, feed and other odours, characteristic for a stable are bundled on a little piece of fabric. So, if you crave a whiff of fresh barn air, you can obtain it online for 6,- € .
Do you have any intriguing marketing ideas? Or have you ever bought any such product? Then let us know and share your experience with us. We look forward to your comments.

When I was around 10, I was messing around with a weights set in my friends garage. And you know the weight that rests on a handle and you lie down and pump it up and down? When I was doing that for 5 seconds, the whole thing broke down and the weight almost went for my throat.

Did you ever have a near death experience?
06-24-2009 #2
During elementary school, there were areas of slippery ice. I would dare to find the most slippery ice to slide on because there wasn't really anything to do during recess. So I found one and shuffle my feet like a Penguin would walk, you know? Then all of a sudden, I slip and had a great fall on my back and I couldn't breathe for a second or so and I thought I was going to die just because an unexplained slipping and falling down badly. It was like I was out of breath at all or something.
Just thinking about that moment makes me think that I should have died and I wish it was...

When I was a baby (around 15mnths old I think) I got a really bad fever. Anyways long story short my heart stopped beating twice in hospital and I had t be revived both times.
Only near death experiences I have had in recent times was a few years ago when I slid my car off the road on a mountain road, I was going too fast to take a corner. Ended up about 30M from the road after spinning around twice, there were trees everywhere but somehow I managed to miss them all. Had to rest for about 15mins and smoke a packet of cigarettes for my nerves to calm down enough to drive home.
Other one was a few months ago I aqua-planed my car at about 110kph, scared the **** out of me.

When I was younger, I was riding my bike on the sidewalk and for some reason I just decided to turn into the middle of the road, but as soon as I enter the street a car hits my rear wheel, twisting it and I go flying. Lucky I was wearing a helmet and was so zoned out as to what happened. Damn.

When I was 14 or 15, playing soccer on the school field. Tried to keep the ball from going into a corner, but stepped on it, tripped and fell with the back of my head on cement A moment of "NOTHINGNESS", I've never felt anything like that, there was simply NOTHING around me, I couldn't see, I couldn't hear nor feel anything for what seemed an hour.
One moment I was running for the ball, the next I found myself on my knees and elbows, trying to regain my balance. My teammates said I was out for about 10 seconds
Funny thing is, I actually liked the feeling of being knocked out, lol. It was like there was no matter, just my spirit and the void of the universe. Complete silence and emptiness. I liked that feeling, but I'd sure as hell wouldn't want to experience it again.

Don't know if this even counts but for work experience I went to a data company that put together circuit boards. I was messing around with some old monitors with a screwdriver, next thing I know everything went black almost like I shutdown and then I switched back on again. Guess I got a shock from a live wire or something?

Hmm probably not near death but a few months ago on a really rainy day, while I was driving to university there's these set of lights that always turn red and makes me stop there for a good 3-5 minutes. So I'm late for my tute and so I take off quickly, as I take the turn, my car spins out of control and I end up in the next lane, facing the way I came from... wtf! Good thing the cars behind me were going slow and were able to stop when they saw my car lose control.

My grandparents used to tell me this story when I was younger, that when my parents were still together we had went to visit them one day. During that time, I was very young, I think around two years old, perhaps. Anyways, at some point during that visit I had jumped off the couch and into a glass table. Of course, this alarmed everyone. I had to be rushed to the hospital where the doctors were lucky enough to have saved my life. Apparrently, if I had lost anymore blood I could have suffered some brain damage or even died.

I've had many.
Fell on a glass when I was 3, it shattered in my neck and chin.
Fell through a floor, dropped like 25 feet and nearly impaled myself.

I remember when I was around 11 or 12, my grandfather had a whole bucket of strawberries. I remember eating half that bucket, they were so damn good. I was really tired after that and went to sleep. After going to sleep, I woke up in the ambulance, I was confused and the guy told me to close my eye's and go back to sleep. I woke up again in the hospital and stayed awake. The doctor came in after about 10 minutes. He said I had a grand mal Seizure. When they came to my house, the guy said that my eye's were rolled up in the back of my head really hard, my neck muscles were so spazzed out they couldn't believe that I survived it, I was even a light shade of blue. They told me that I was lucky I didn't get brain damage or die. The spazms were so bad that I could have literally broke any of my ribs or back just from the spaz alone.
Then I had to stay awake for 24 hours and do this test where they put these sensors on you and stuff. I could barely stay awake. The guy that did the test said he didn't know if it was the strawberries, but he said, just don't eat them, stay away from them. It's common sense that the strawberries had to be part of the problem but I wasn't allergic to them. Just to be on the safe side, I haven't had a strawberry since then.
I usually go through a doctor that is from another country since there Dr ethics seem to surpass that of American Dr. tests and whatever else. The guy told me though that strawberries have been known to do weird things to people.
06-25-2009 #24
Yeah I ate a tablespoon full of chlorine tablets when I was about 4-5. Mistook them for rice bubbles (and apprently I was a smart child ), ended up going to the doctors and they gave me some fluid that induces vomitting.
That's terrible man. I love strawberries.

Move to Defend: The Case against the Constitutional Amendments Seeking to Overturn Citizens United
A Senate Subcommittee chaired by Senator Carl Levin heard from three panels of witnesses Tuesday on Apple Inc.'s corporate tax payments. Democratic senators and some news stories are making it sound like some vast tax cheating has been going on, but that's not what the hearing actually revealed – no one at the hearing said the company is doing anything illegal. Cato scholar Chris Edwards reveals the true problem: "The U.S. rate is the highest general corporate tax rate in the world. …Given the U.S. tax disadvantage, it's not surprising that Apple and every other U.S. multinational have strong incentives to move their real investments and paper profits abroad."
