Urgent Rant on Politics, Religion and This Election
Two things that I strive to keep an open mind about – I try to educate myself on both just enough to help me make educated decisions that are in my (and my family's) best interest. That being said, I'm not perfect. I feel overwhelmed on Sunday night, in anticipation of Monday morning. I. procrastinate. a. lot. I know I could do more to be a better wife and Mother and I usually try to keep my political views to myself (for the most part), but I am so passionate about this election, I feel compelled to do everything I can to potentially sway the undecided or indecisive voter.
I supported Obama in 2008, and I support him even more now. Many ask, if I'm better off than I was in 2012 – and I can say with conviction, YES I AM! So, here's why I'm voting for Obama and what I realized–through both silent contemplation and animated conversation over the last few months:
First off, I cannot for the life of me understand why someone who makes $250K or less would vote for Mitt Romney. My conclusions may be controversial in nature, but it is how I feel and know that I am entitled to my own opinion. Feel free to comment (respectively) and let me know why you support him, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think so.
The Anti-Obama Camp
I think that many American's do not "love" Romney, I think that many of them, simply hate Obama – either for who he is or what he stands for.
Racism and Bigotry – I can, without hesitation, conclude that many Romney supporters (or anti-Obama advocates) are racists and/or bigots. Yes, sad as it may be, racism is still very much alive today – and that racism is not only geared toward blacks – but Muslims and/or any other non-Anglo Saxon Americans.
First, I need to point out – with conviction – that Obama is NOT A MUSLIM! He is a practicing Christian! He was born in Hawaii, and was baptized into the United Church of Christ (UCC) denomination and formally joined it in 1988. He left the UCC in 2008 because of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy. He now worships with a Southern Baptist pastor at Camp David. Yes, his father was a practicing Muslim; however, he was chiefly raised by his mother and her parents who were Christians!
Conversely, Mitt Romney is a life-long and practicing Mormon! Mormons understand that the Mormon church is the only true source of God's law and commandments. He strictly abides by the "law of consecration." It requires the Mormons to …consecrate yourselves, your time, talents, and everything with which the Lord has blessed you, or with which he may bless you, to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, for the building up of the Kingdom of God on the earth and for the establishment of Zion.
A couple of terms need explanation. The "Kingdom of God on the earth" and "Zion" mean, to Mormons, not just their church, but ultimately the theocracy that will replace the non-religious civil government. They believe, of course, that Christ will come to run this government, using faithful Mormons as administrators.
I've seen the rebel flag in the city I live in now, and the one I lived in before–more times than I care to remember. There have been incidents where Romney supporters have lynched chairs and I've personally seen shirts and bumper stickers for the Romney Ticket such as this:
"Don't ReNig in 2012" & "Bring the White back to the White House"
Furthermore, The GOP has instituted various forms of voter suppression aimed at preventing Democratic-leaning blocs from voting. People of color are especially hurt by laws looking to restrict voting. Last month, Think Progress reported that "a new study by the Advancement Project estimates that voter purges and ID requirements being enacted in over 20 states could disenfranchise at least 10 million Hispanic citizens."
The Brennan Center for Justice further notes the racial problems with voter identification laws. "The impact of ID requirements is even greater for the elderly, students, people with disabilities, low-income individuals, and people of color," the center notes. "African Americans have driver's licenses at half the rate of whites, and the disparity increases among younger voters; only 22% of black men aged 18-24 had a valid driver's license. Not only are minority voters less likely to possess photo ID, but they are also more likely than white voters to be selectively asked for ID at the polls."1
Important to note, many of these laws do not take effect until after the election! So, please do your research and then vote!
Voter ID: State Requirements: http://bit.ly/VCVFOl
So, yes, Obama has the black (and Hispanic), not to mention my vote, but Mr. Romney has the opposing side. I'll stick with Obama, thank you very much.
Christianity – I was raised by a devout catholic mother…I was baptized, received my first communion and was confirmed. Somewhere along the way, I lost faith in organized religion. That is not to say I don't believe in a higher power (God, Jesus, what-have-you), but I do question when, how and by whom religions were built and how they have evolved.
"Separation of Church and State"
I would like to point out, and remind everyone (Christians, Muslims, Mormons, etc.) of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution which provides that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof …." and Article VI specifies that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
Unfortunately, many people tend to forget that "law", as do many religious organizations. I recently attended a church service who had a guest speaker who spoke only of (right-wing) politics and encouraged the congregation to vote "the right way". They even played a video of Ronald Reagan. Needless to say, I was appalled and dismayed…
Many Christians who support Romney, support him because of the liberal stance Obama has taken on abortion and gay marriage. Now, the first thing I have to say to every Christian is this: not everyone is a Christian! Sure, Christianity is still the largest religious affiliation in America, but America is comprised of many different walks of life and religions (Mormons, Jews, Muslims, Agnostics and even Atheists). After all, America was built on immigrants – all of whom came to America to find freedom, new opportunities, and a better way of life.
No one is forcing (or even asking) you to have an abortion, or to be gay – you are free to practice whatever you believe in, but I think it is unfair for any man, or woman, to judge another. Especially, based on a book (and beliefs) created so long ago. I also think it is ignorant for anyone to take 'said Book' so literally, as certainly much has been altered, and lost in translation. Should it be taken verbatim, women would not be permitted to speak in church (Corinthians 14:34-35), we would be permitted to possess slaves (Leviticus 25:44), and everyone who works on Sunday would be put to death (Exodus 35:2). Now getting to the topic at hand which is most clearly covered in Leviticus: Homosexual acts are an abomination to God (18:22) and If a man has sex with another man, they should both be killed (20:13). Now, I think I'm correct in assuming that you haven't killed the gay people you know or have met—Why? Because this is a different era – and things, views beliefs and the people in charge have changed and they're no longer applicable!!!!
Now, I m not saying that Christians need to condone things that they don't believe in (or like); Albeit, I ask the Christian community – how you can judge another based on the bible in the year 2012?
Many of you speak of losing your freedom if Obama is elected – I ask you this…What freedom will Romney give you? The right to not have insurance? The right to not be permitted to be with the one you love? The right to not have control of your own body? The right to unequal pay between genders? The right to not be able to have freedom of religion?
Many Christian denominations, including Lutherans and Episcopals, recognize same-sex unions. What about these institutions, along with people who do not ascribe to any religion; why should their freedom of religion (or lack thereof) be eclipsed by the teachings of other religions?
What I personally recommend to any human being is to live by the Golden Rule (or ethic of reciprocity), an ethical code, or morality, that spans many generations and can be found in some form in almost every ethical tradition.
I also think it is important to remember, we were born with free will. Our maker, not the government, and not the world! There is no basis (biblical or otherwise) for us to feel like someone else's activities or lifestyle can make us unholy. Our choice and reaction to someone else's activities or lifestyle is the only thing that can make us unholy in the eyes of our maker.
With that in mind, I would like to ask that you consider what it would be like if…
- Your husband or your wife was forbidden by law to be at your beside, during times of sickness and death
- Distant relatives were left to make decisions about your healthcare because your husband or wife wasn't legally recognized or allowed to make those decisions (decisions you more than likely only discussed with him/her)
- You were legally forbidden to have (adopt) a child with your husband or wife, leaving that child in "the system", forbidding them the opportunity to have a forever, loving home
- You were forbidden from marrying the person you fell in love with based upon religious affiliations, that may or may not differ from your own
While you consider the above, let's talk about abortion. Now, I am in no means pro-abortion. I believe that life starts at the time of fertilization, and as a mother, I cherish every amazing aspect of life. I, however, also believe that there are circumstances that could warrant an abortion, should a mother so choose (rape, incest, life of the mother, etc.). Should abortion be illegal at the Federal level, some states will still permit it, allowing those wishing to receive an abortion the opportunity, if they are willing to travel. Seriously folks, Roe vs. Wade is over 30 years old – and with everything else that this country has to worry about, overturning this will not reduce the number of abortions, it will only create further adversity and result in more deaths due to illegal abortions, murders, suicides, etc.
Healthcare Reform
An issue very important to me, as I have a pre-existing condition and do not agree with Mitt Romney that going to hospital will be a solution for me, should I be unable to pay my current $900 a month insurance premium (available to me through COBRA). If something catastrophic happened to me, and I went to the hospital without coverage, I would lose my home and all of my possessions. Also, should I be diagnosed with a debilitating disease, I am certain, the hospital will not give me ongoing care.
I encourage you to read the following article recently posted on Forbes.com:
When asked whether the nation has a responsibility to provide health care to the 50 million Americans who do not currently have coverage, the Governor responded;
"Well, we do provide care for people who don't have insurance. If someone has a heart attack, they don't sit in their apartment and die. We pick them up in an ambulance, and take them to the hospital, and give them care. And different states have different ways of providing for that care."
Never mind that '60 Minutes' interviewer Scott Pelly was quick to accurately point out that ER care is the most expensive form of treatment that one can access. What is far more interesting is that the remark so clearly puts Governor Romney at odds with the other candidate seeking the presidency—and I don't mean Barack Obama.
I refer, of course, to the 'other' Mitt who seems to come and go at various moments in the campaign, offering up direct contradictions to the positions of the Mitt Romney we watched last night on the CBS news show.
You see, it was the 'other' Mitt who said during a 2010 interview over at MSNBC—
"It doesn't make a lot of sense for us to have millions and millions of people who have no health insurance and yet who can go to the emergency room and get entirely free care for which they have no responsibility."
And it was the 'other' Mitt who told Glenn Beck in a 2007 interview— "When they show up at the hospital, they get care. They get free care paid for by you and me. If that's not a form of socialism, I don't know what is."
Apparently, when 2002 Mitt Romney decided to divorce himself and split into two, distinct entities, the 'other' Mitt Romney gained possession of the Governor's cognitive skills —including the ability to recall why Romney supported the Massachusetts universal care effort in the first place. It was, after all, 2002 Mitt Romney who often highlighted the inefficiency of emergency room care as the sole option for uninsured Massachusetts residents, allowing them to get free care while those who are insured are left to pay the bill.
It would also appear that it was the 'other' Mitt Romney who gained custody of the understanding that while our laws require emergency rooms to treat patients in an effort to stabilize their health condition, the law does not require the treatment that can ultimately restore all of these patients to health.
As noted by the current incarnation of the GOP candidate, when a patient turns up at the ER with severe stomach pain, that patient will be treated until her condition is stabilized. But it is the 'other' Mitt Romney who understands that, when the tests administered in the ER reveal that the patient has Stage One stomach cancer, it will not be up to the ER to administer the six months of chemotherapy that will be required to save the patient's life. For that, the patient better be insured or face a truly precarious situation.
The 'other' Romney understands that ER care is insufficient to truly treat many patients and that, even when it was possible to get the desired result via ER care, it is the worst possible way to administer health care.
…and this article:
A vote for Obama saves real healthcare reform
By Brad D. Segal
Posted: 10/19/2012 01:00:00 AM MDT
In the Oct. 3 presidential debate Mitt Romney said that, if elected, he intends to "repeal and replace" the Affordable Care Act (ACA). He also told us not to worry, because under Romney/Ryan, pre-existing conditions would be covered, just as with the ACA. Don't believe him. Like many of his other debate claims, this claim isn't true.
Actually, under his plan, Americans with pre-existing conditions would remain uninsurable if they have not maintained "continuous insurance coverage" (this includes millions who have been uninsured through no fault of their own). Unfortunately this is just one of many important health reforms we probably lose if Romney becomes president. We may also lose Medicare and Medicaid as we know them if he is elected.
What is the problem that ACA addresses, and why do we need this particular reform versus some Republican version anyway?
America has had an unsustainable health system. We spend roughly twice as much per– capita as the rest of the developed world —- $2.6 trillion in 2010 — yet are ranked 37th in health outcomes by the World Health Organization. Add to this 22,000 deaths and 700,000 bankruptcies in a typical recent year due to gaping holes in health coverage — outcomes not found in any other of the world's developed nations.
ACA goes after these excessive costs, inefficiencies and inequities using common sense principles found in sustainable health systems around the world, namely:
1) Universal coverage (nobody left out, large pool reduces costs)
2) Guaranteed issue (nobody uninsurable)
3) Cost control (improve efficiency, reduce overhead)
4) Unlimited lifetime benefits (further protection from medical bankruptcies)
ACA addresses each of these. It insures an additional 32 million people: a substantial move toward universal coverage. It guarantees coverage unconditionally, and incorporates cost controls, including rebates for insurance overcharges. The act prohibits lifetime coverage limits. It allows young adults to remain on their parent's policy until age 26.
What would Romney/Ryan offer? Not much:
1) A very limited version of pre-existing condition coverage, leaving out millions for life.
2) A vague promise to allow young adults to remain on their parent's policy.
Romney/Ryan would also leave 50 million Americans uninsured, including a growing pool of millions of permanently uninsurable people.
Medical–related bankruptcies would continue, largely unabated, contributing to overall economic instability. Further elevation of rates would likely result from lack of cost-controls on insurers.
Why can't Romney/Ryan offer truly comprehensive coverage for pre-existing conditions, as ACA does? Answer: Ryan/Romney doesn't have any leverage to accomplish this because, unlike ACA, it lacks an individual mandate. By requiring coverage for everyone, including millions of healthy customers, this mandate allows insurers to recoup the cost of also having to cover the highest risk individuals. It's simple economics — insurers must balance risks or go broke.
Romney/Ryan would only work if had an individual mandate (as in Massachusetts) making it much more like ACA. My point: there is no reason to replace ACA — because it works. Though far from perfect, ACA does improve what has been a fundamentally broken system.
Being the smart man that he is, and given his success with essentially an ACA "clone" in Massachusetts, I believe that Romney knows this, but is derailing what might be the best next step toward saving America's health system and economy simply to placate his right-wing base. He is simultaneously trying to portray himself as not really that extreme, using misinformation to deceive undecided voters.
Unfortunately misinformation seems to be a recurring Romney theme. He's a flip-flopper trying to create the impression that you can have it both ways. Once he's president, however, and has to make real decisions, that won't be possible.
Undecided voters: don't be fooled by Romney's tricks. Obama's overall plan is working. Having already saved us from a depression, it is slowly but surely pulling us out of the morass left by 8 years of failed Republican leadership. His approach is working, incorporating reasonable health reform and a sensible economic plan that may well help prevent the next collapse. Republicans are offering simply "more of the same" with fancier packaging. Their health "plans" are just one example. Please join me in supporting President Obama. Let's finish the job.

The 47% (of which Mitt Romney is a descendent of….)
"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what…These are people who pay no income tax.
"My job is is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives."
-Mitt Romney
You can view the video here: http://youtu.be/XnB0NZzl5HA
The irony of this statement, is that his own father was part of that 47% – and had it not been for welfare, Mr. Romney would more than likely not be where he is (as wealthy as he is) today.
"You know we've only owned our home for the last four years. He was a refugee from Mexico. He was on relief, welfare relief for the first years of his life. But this great country gave him opportunities.
"The family was poor. He said they lived for a year on nothing but potatoes. He's known what it is to have to work for every dime he's had since he was 12."
-Lenore Romney

Personal Character
For me, I go with my gut. In business, as a Mom and in life. More often than not, I am spot on – and I literally can't stomach Mitt Romney. To me he is a narcissistic, elitist bully who cannot, and will never be able to relate to the common man (i.e., the 47%). He reminds me of a used car salesman.
Mitt Romney lies! He lies more than any other national candidate for office! This is documented. Proven. Validated, verified, demonstrated, catalogued and quantified. Mitt Romney lies. You can view several of his most offensive falsehood's on the Washington Monthly. Here are a few: I, II, III, IV, V, VI,VII, VIII, IX, X, XI, XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XIX, XX, XXI, XXII,XXIII, XXIV, XXV, XXVI, XXVII, XXVIII, XXIX, XXX.
And here is one of his biggest and most recent untruths:
In Ohio last Friday, Romney let fly the wildly incorrect statement that Chrysler "is thinking of moving all production to China." Obviously, his goal is to stoke panic in the hearts and minds of the people who live in America's heartland.
He even went so far as to create a commercial, which can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/REB_Q7N8vSw
What does Chrysler have to say about its company being at the center of grossly inaccurate Romney campaign messaging? In an entry on the company's blog, it called Romney's assertion that Chrysler was sending American jobs to China "unnecessary fantasies and extravagant comments" and accused Romney of making a logical "leap that would be difficult even for professional circus acrobats." The Chrysler representative emphasized that "Jeep has no intention of shifting production of its Jeep models out of North America to China."
In addition, his dismissal of family involvement (think his wife's dancing horse), the fact that he bullied (and assaulted) a classmate at his private school – and his lack of regret for what he did:
"As to pranks that were played back then, I don't remember them all, but again, high school days, if I did stupid things, why, I'm afraid I've got to say sorry for it,"
-Mitt Romney
Read the article on the incident here: http://wapo.st/Rv4w4N
Capitalism at its Finest
I won't dive deep into this, but I often wonder how we got to where we are today. When I look at the absurd distribution of wealth in this country, I am confused as to why we, the people (many who claim to be Christians), allow so many to go hungry without shelter, yet pay athletes, businessmen and higher education professionals millions of dollars a year?
Sure, Romney knows how to run a profitable business– but his success was achieved at the cost of outsourced jobs and bankruptcies. Yes, he worked for a company that made millions upon millions of dollars. But Romney, as a leader of that company, went to work every day knowing that with every minute he used to find Chinese companies to invest in, or homegrown companies to buy and close down – he put more money in his pockets.
Foreign Policy
There is a reason why Mitt Romney was so agreeable during the most recent foreign policy debate. It's because he doesn't have ideas of his own. He agreed with President Obama's progress, plans, and actions because they are working – they are winning highly strategic battles – and he is so unaware – he doesn't possess the ability to provide a competing idea.
He agrees because he doesn't know for better or worse.
Mitt Romney was a Governor who didn't have enough support to hold onto the position after completing his first term. He has only served government at the state level, and for only four years. Mitt Romney does not care about the common man!
Romney only knows how to run a business, not a country. The economy – while critically important – is one piece of a much larger puzzle. Romney might be able to find a few pieces – but the pieces that matter – national security; education; green energy initiatives; tax adjustments for every class; and plans that provide for you when you are sick, unemployed, old, and hurt – those pieces are only viewable by Barack Obama.
Under Obama, the banking industry has been regulated, the auto industry has been saved, the stock market has more than doubled and the unemployment rate has dropped. Or, as Fox News is reporting it, "a dismal record of failed economic policies."
A LONG List of President Obama's Accomplishments – With Citations can be found here: http://bit.ly/T1Pjbd
I strongly urge you to vote. If you are not registered, there is still time for some states.

Also, please keep in mind – some states, affected by the storm have extended their voter registration deadline (i.e., CT is pushed back to Thu, 11/1 at 8PM)
Should you choose to give up your freedoms as an American, then vote for Mitt. I know which way I will be voting and only hope the majority will agree with me and do the right thing for the American people on Tuesday, November 6th.

The centre underwent ankle surgery in June and with a projected six-week recovery time, the 31-year-old looks certain to miss Ireland's World Cup warm-up games - with the first against Scotland on August 6.
The 57-cap centre picked up the injury in Leinster's epic Heineken Cup final win over Northampton and D'Arcy originally hoped for the injury to heal itself naturally. This soon proved to be a forlorn hope and the Wexford-born centre went under the knife on June 20.
And Kidney has now conceded that D'Arcy faces a race against time to make the plane to New Zealand. "Unfortunately Gordon's ankle didn't solve itself so he needed an operation and it will take a good six weeks to be running fully, then you need a pre-season, which is another couple of weeks, so it's getting tight," Kidney said.
Ireland start their World Cup preparations against Scotland on Saturday before facing France (twice) and completing their schedule against England on August 27.

text: "Hitler's Henchmen" is a six-part series that portrays the men who aided Adolf Hitler in his rise to power and serviced the infernal machinery of the Third Reich. The Nuremberg Trials play an important role here: in a historical first, the International War Crimes Tribunal passed judgment on leading Nazi paladins for their unparalleled atrocities while exposing to the world the infamy of the Hitler regime and its leaders. ZDF uses newly discovered archive material and interviews with surviving family members and Nazi insiders to draw historical psychograms of Hitler's closest aides. Conceived as a sequel to our six-part series "Hitler," "Hitler's Henchmen" offers in-depth personal and political profiles of six men who became architects of the destruction of Europe.

If you've been following along, you know that a few months ago, I ran out of Facebook likes. Facebook limits the number of pages a user likes to 5,000. This throws a wrench in things, since I'm constantly entering blog giveaways and connecting with other bloggers.
In April 2012, I first hit the Facebook "LIKE" road block. I wasn't sure what to do, but I shared my sorrow with the world by posting: I'm All Out of Likes and I cannot FOLLOW. In June, I posted I'm All Out Of Likes: Part Deux, a tutorial on how to remedy my plight.
I've encountered the same road block several times over the past few months, unliking pages using the method described in I'm All Out Of Likes: Part Deux. Today, I found an easier way to UNLIKE pages to free up my ability to follow new pages.

Dozens of mothers with babies gathered outside a Hillsborough restaurant in protest Wednesday after they said a mother was asked to cover up while breastfeeding in the open.
Organizers said local mother Jane Healy was eating dinner at the Tooky Mills Pub on Thursday and dealing with a fussy 10-month-old demanding to be fed. Healy said she started feeding the baby, exposing a breast in the restaurant dining room.
"She started fussing, so I started to breastfeed her because I don't think there's anything wrong with it," said Healy.
Tooky Mills Pub said other customers complained, and when wait staff approached Healy to ask her if she would cover up, she took offense and left the restaurant.
"I went out there, and I leaned down very nicely, and I said, 'Jane we have a little bit of a problem, we have some people complaining and a table ready to leave,'" said manager Jodie Bean from Tooky Mills Pub. "'I am not by any means asking you not to feed your baby, but could you use a little bit of coverage, so that everybody's comfortable.'"
The request sparked a protest outside the restaurant Wednesday night.
"I obviously completely support breastfeeding, because I breastfed my own children and have no problem with feeding your child when you're hungry and you need to do what you need to do," said waitress Heather Anderson. "But you can just have respect for other people if you're in a public atmosphere."
"We decided to do this to just raise awareness, and Tooky Mills is taking this as a personal attack, and it is not," Healy said. "It is to raise awareness that you can breastfeed in public, and you're covered by New Hampshire state law, and what they did was wrong by asking me to cover up."
"We weren't trying to upset her or embarrass her, but it's also our responsibility to the rest of our staff and to our customers to look out for their best interests and their rights," said Sean Burt, owner of Tooky Mills Pub.
The state does protect breastfeeding in public places. The restaurant said it never told Healy to leave but tried to ask her to cover up.

VALDOSTA, Ga. (May 5, 2012) - With their backs against the wall, fourth-seeded Rollins came out swinging, eliminating the eighth-seeded Miles College, 6-2.
Both teams were facing elimination after losing in yesterday's first round, Rollins losing to Ala.-Huntsville 3-2 and Miles fell to top-seed Valdosta State, 5-2.
The Tars wasted no time, seizing a three run lead in the bottom of the first. After a leadoff double by junior Aimee Halpin, senior Lawna Hunter sent a 2-2 fastball well over the scoreboard in left center for her sixth homerun of the year.
Rollins would plate another in the inning on a sac fly off the bat of senior Hope Bitzer to score Monica Meadows. Meadows had reached on a double after the Hunter homer. The double by Meadows set the career record for doubles at 60.
After a 1-2-3 Miles second, the Tars scored three more in the bottom half of the inning on five hits with RBI's by Meadows and fellow senior Krista Rodden.
Both teams would then go scoreless until Miles joined the party in the fifth, scoring two on just one hit but Rollins commited two costly errors, allowing the Golden Bears to pull within four, 6-2.
But that was all that freshman Taylor McGowan (6-0), who came on in relief for Bitzer in the third, would surrender the rest of the way, picking up the win to keep Rollins' regional hopes alive.
With the win Rollins improves to 41-10 and Miles ends their season with a 29-28 record.
Halpin went 4-4 on the afternoon with two runs scored. Meadows added two hits as well as an RBI and two runs scored.
Rollins will now play Ala.-Huntsville, the loser of Saturday's game one against top-seeded Valdosta State, Saturday at approximately 6:45 pm. Fans can follow along live on the Tars Sports Network on RollinsSports.com

More аnd more people arе aware of thе need to save resources by building eco friendly houses. In cooler climates there are many eco friendly building methods thаt аrе becoming main stream.
Incorporating solar panels іnto thе design оf a house іѕ оnе wау of cutting heating bills аnd reducing carbon emissions.
But what considerations dо уou neеd tо take іntо account when building an eco house іn a tropical zone? Keeping the house cool, rаther than warming it up, is оnе оf the main considerations. Air conditioning is аs expensive, if nоt morе so, to run than heating аnd greatly increases а house's carbon foot print.
An architect wіth knowledge оf airflows сan design a house that takes full advantage of natural breezes tо keep thе house cool and useѕ light аnd shaded areas tо full advantage.
The late, great architect Laurie Baker enshrined a set оf principles which included the advise tо "study and know local materials" аnd knоw how thеу perform and where to find workmen that understand theіr use. He аlѕо advised – "don't rob national resources" – they ѕhould not be uѕеd extravagantly or unnecessarily.
One оf his main eco principles wаѕ thе nеed to "study and knоw energy" uѕed bоth in thе transportation аnd the manufacture of materials аnd the nееd to reduce thіs wherever possible. You arе alѕо advised to "get уour conscience оut of thе deep freeze" when designing and building.

Maintenance of your landscaping trumps the design
Wednesday, September 10th, 2008When it comes to sustainability, the life of your landscaping is as significant as the initial design. But often it's the design that gets the bulk of the attention from developers, grounds maintenance crews, parks districts and even private golf course groundskeepers.
Reprioritize, says Michael Chaplinsky, founder and president of Turf Feeding Systems—the fertigation system that attaches to any irrigation system. Professional Grade Fertigation systems are affordable for, parks districts, private golf courses, government agencies and even homeowners with substantially-sized lots are turning to Turf Feeding Systems for precision irrigation that combines water with constant delivery of nutrients resulting in a lush, green lawn with a bountiful root system to keep it strong all season long.
Golf courses, says Chaplinsky, have some of the most sophisticated irrigation systems in place and have been using fertigation for years. Some of the finest golf courses—Spyglass Hill, Pebble Beach and The Broadmoor in Colorado, Springs—have fertigation systems.
The City of Colorado Springs has 72 fertigation systems in use on more than 450 acres of parks, sports fields and landscaping citywide. City officials embraced fertigation when it became evident that they could drastically reduce the maintenance budget by using Turf Feeding Systems versus the labor involved in applying dry fertilizer and the fact that constant delivery of nutrients through the water system results in an optimum plant rather than sporadic fertilization spring through fall.
If your landscaping is stressed and not flourishing, it's likely the result of inappropriate watering and lack of nutrients. When the two—water and nutrients—are delivered in combination, the plant absorbs nutrients simultaneously with the water for better benefit. It could be compared to working out versus being a couch potato.
After all, if your landscaping isn't thriving and looks spotty and stressed, no one will notice that the design is interesting.
Contact Turf Feeding Systems today at 800-728-4504 for information on the savings you can realize using fertigation.

Pretty things, funny things and inspiration, usually food.
From the creator of Lost In Cheeseland
Following its resounding success in New York, Melbourne, Toronto, and Los Angeles, "Tim Burton" - the itinerant exhibition tracing the eccentric filmmaker's enchantingly macabre universe from past to present– has made its final stop in Paris at the illustrious Cinémathèque Française.
There's no mistaking the very personal, childhood demons in Tim Burton's work – his dynamic stories and atmospheric films reflect a playful darkness that are unique to his somewhat marginalized upbringing in Burbank, California. Edward Scissorhands, Alice in Wonderland, and Sweeney Todd are all universally recognizable characters from Burton's brooding imagination but few have been exposed to his other work, composed largely of pop art and zealous sketches from his days as a student at the California Institute of Art.
Widely regarded as "the seventh art", film has always held a hallowed role in French culture and Burton's subversive style and gothic leanings have long been lauded by French moviegoers and critics. Through August 5, 2012, visitors have access to over 700 drawings, photographs, costumes, figurines and film artifacts, many on display for the first time, in addition to a comprehensive film retrospective including limited-distribution shorts and extracts from his forthcoming projects.
After discovering the exhibit organized by New York's Museum of Modern Art in 2009, Serge Toubiana, director of the museum which hosts one of the world's most extensive film archives, was intent on bringing it to Europe. He explained, "I had the pleasure of convincing our friends at the MoMA to accept continuing the exhibition's itinerary all the way to Paris. The decisive element was the enthusiastic agreement of Tim Burton".

Property tax to start at 0.18%
Homeowners will be liable for a new property tax averaging between €300 and €500 per year under measures announced by Minister for Finance Michael Noonan this afternoon.
The property tax is to be levied at a rate of 0.18 per cent on properties worth up to €1 million and 0.25 per cent on the balance of the value of homes worth more than that.
The tax is expected to generate some €250 million in revenue during the 6 months it is in operation in 2013, and €500 million in 2014.
Mr Noonan said the property tax was being introduced as a "better alternative to increased taxes on income".
"Property taxes are used across the world as they are a better for the protection and creation of jobs than taxes that increase the cost of employment," he said.
First-time buyers who purchase properties in 2013 will be exempt from the tax until 2016, as will those who buy new or previously unoccupied homes up to the end of 2016.
There will be no exemption for people in negative equity or those in mortgage arrears.
The new property tax will take effect from July 1st 2013, and will be collected by the Revenue Commissioners.
Owners of residential properties, including rented accommodation, will be responsible for paying the tax, which will be based on the market value of the property.
They will be able to choose to pay the tax by direct debit, by credit card, in cash, or have the sum "deducted at source" from salaries, pensions or social welfare payments.
Owners will be asked to assess the value of their property themselves, based on valuation guidelines to be issued by Revenue. The initial valuation will be valid up to the end of 2016.
Local authorities will have the power to vary the rates by 15 per cent above or below the national rates in order to "better match their funding needs".
"In this way the property tax will strongly reinforce local democratic decision-making and encourage greater efficiency by authorities on behalf of their electorates," Mr Noonan said.
The current household charge will cease from January 1st 2013, and the second homes charge will not be payable from 2014 onwards.
Mr Noonan insisted that the property tax was "fair and progressive", as all property owners would make a contribution but "those who own the most valuable properties will pay the most".
He said the tax would be "strictly enforced" by the Revenue Commissioners, who would also be collecting any unpaid household charges from this year.
Any household charge arrears still outstanding by July 1st 2013 will be increased to €200, he said.
The Campaign Against Household and Water Taxes group said the introduction of the property tax amounted to a "declaration of war on ordinary people".
Campaign spokesman Gregor Kerr said members would be organising a series of public meetings and local protests to highlight opposition to the proposed tax, and "build a campaign that will ensure the government's plans cannot be implemented".
Submit your budget queries to experts from The Irish Times and PwC who will answer questions until noon on December 6th.

From the Editor's Desk
Letter to the Editor: D15 Parent Urges School Board to "Do the Right Thing" on Late Start/Early Release Vote
Since December, District 15 parent Lisa Szczupaj has led the charge, in addition to creating a Change.org petition to urge the board of education to choose 'early release' to make time for teacher development.
Editor's note: Letters to the Editor are presented as they are originally submitted by our readers. Palatine Patch neither agrees nor disagrees with the opinions presented. Last weekend, I was speaking with a D15 teacher. She indicated to me that she had been told that her CTC intended to threaten legal action in order to ensure that they got their way in regard to the Late Start / Early Release topic. She further indicated to me that the CTC was confident the threat of litigation would back the Board of Education and Superintendent's Office into a position where they would chose to simply give the union officials their way rather than fight back for what is right for our community of elementary and middle school children and their …
4:34 pm on Thursday, May 2, 2013
D15parent - to address a few of your questions: - if there is before school care it won't be free. - Taking kids out of school for no valid reason is not an excused absence. - I have to be at work right after I drop my kids off at school; I can't tell my boss I need to show up almost an hour later once a week. After school is *much* less of a hit for most parents.   more ›

RE: Disappearing Options
I haven't had this discussion in a while, and my wife went to bed early, so…
If he has the full LDS belief set then he would have to give some batshit crazy answers to certain questions.
You ask the question and I'll give what I think he'd answer. Then we can both decide how crazy it is. Ready, go.
You ask the question and I'll give what I think he'd answer. Then we can both decide how crazy it is. Ready, go.
You asked for it. Here are but a few obvious ones.
President Romney, since you have your finger on the nuclear trigger which could destroy us all, we need to know how mentally stable you are. Therefore I would like to question you on your deeply personal beliefs.
Do you believe that:
- you are a saint and and that you could become a god if you play your cards right
- Are your religious beliefs predicated on a lost tribe of Israelites who migrated to North America and founded a new better form of Christianity among the indians
- Have you been spiritually influenced by by Joseph Smith, a convicted con artist, from Palmyra, New York, who allegedly found golden plates, which he translated to become the Book of Mormon.
- that God the father, who has a body of flesh and bones, told JS that all churches were an abomination and he must restore the true gospel.
- that Joseph Smith joined one of these abominable churches.
- a woman can't get into heaven unless her husband lets her in and once there, she will get to be eternally pregnant with billions of spirit children.
- Black people are inferior because they sat on the fence during the war in heaven.
- that your underpants give you special status, powers or privileges.
- The three Nephites were granted immortality by Jesus when he visited America. and that they may show up to change flat tires for stranded Mormons.
No offence intended Brandon. I think that all religious beliefs appear crazy when examined closely by a non believer.
