Muslim villagers campaign for BJP in GujaratDecember 9th, 2007 - 9:26 pm ICT by admin
Bet Dwarka (Gujarat), Dec 9 (ANI): Displaying a rare amity, Muslim villagers are campaigning for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in Bet Dwarka, ahead of the assembly elections in Gujarat.
Villagers here are supporting the BJP, which has been categorised as anti-minority ever since the communal divide became pronounced after the 2002 Godhra riots, in which 2,500 Muslims are believed to have been killed.
Proving to be an oasis of communal harmony, Bet Dwarka has extended its campaign for the BJP to nearby villages as well.
Interestingly, there are no campaigners from the party in this village. The villagers are happy with the Modi government's performance and are themselves raising the votes for the party.
"No BJP leader or screen idol is here to campaign for the party. We ourselves go for the campaign. BJP works for the development and upliftment of the people and hence we are out to mobilise votes for the party," said Suleman Yousuf, a campaigner from the village.
Women too are actively campaigning for the party. Evidently, acrimony and communal politics that has gripped other parts of the state has no place here.
Raimaben, a villager, said: "I am a BJP activist. I am campaigning for the BJP among women since Narendra Modi has done a lot of work for the upliftment of women. We support the BJP."
Campaigning for he first phase of elections scheduled to be held on December 11, came to an end today.
Over 36 million voters will elect the 182-member State assembly. The term of the State Assembly is due to expire on December 26. (ANI)

I am nominating Rosa Parks because she was brave enough to stand up to a white man that tried to take her seat. She was tired and needed to rest. She had just come from a hard days work and didn't want to be standing up until she had to get off. She stood up for whatwas right and that's why I nominate her.

DE residents demand answer
The flood of Sept. 15 rallied the community of Glenville in a way that has never happened before, said the Rev. Shane Moran, a United Methodist pastor who lives in the neighborhood.
BY TRAVIS DUNN | GLENVILLE, Del. | September 28, 2003
This last one was scary. It came without warning. It came quickly and it was the worst ever.
Rev. Shane Moran
The flood of Sept. 15 rallied the community of Glenville in a way that has never happened before, said the Rev. Shane Moran, a United Methodist pastor who lives in the neighborhood. Trouble is, what's bringing the residents together is a nearly unanimous demand for a government buyout of all the flood-ravaged homes in the community.
"What's really tough about this experience is that it's really helped bring together the community in a common cause. But the irony is that the common cause is to break us up," Moran said. "It's almost a shame to break up the neighborhood now."
In evidence of the outpouring of common feeling, Moran points out the various sprayed-painted messages that adorn the facades of the ruined homes:
"12 NOON HOMEOWNER," reads one message. "1 PM HOMELESS."
Another: "WATERFRONT PROPERTY FOR SALE."
Then there were the rallies last week, which brought more than 200 residents from Glenville to a New Castle County commissioners' meeting as well as to the Delaware state legislature.
"Think about a community of 195 homes that sends 200 people to the state legislature on a Wednesday on a workday," he said. "That's just incredible."
This level of dedication and organization definitely got some notice, from county, state and federal officials. President Bush declared the affected communities disaster areas and made them eligible for funds from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
It also got the attention of Delaware Gov. Ruth Ann Minner, who happened to show up the day that the creek rose for the third time in less than two weeks. "I got to call that a God thing," Moran said. "She saw it and she went, 'Wow!' So she saw firsthand what's happening."
In contrast, after the other major flood, brought on by Hurricane Floyd, there were only a handful of people calling for a buyout.
But the reaction this time is understandable, according to Moran, since the damage was much more extensive, and the water in Red Clay Creek rose at a frightening pace.
"This last one was scary. It came without warning. It came quickly and it was the worst ever. The sun was shining, it was a gorgeous day and the water just started running down the street and caving in houses," he said. "And this wasn't even a hurricane, you've got to understand. The flood we had came before Isabel ever made landfall."
Some residents were even hoping for Isabel to come along and wipe out their homes-something that didn't happen (the creek rose a few feet in the wake of the hurricane, not even enough to go over its banks.)
"ISSY COME AND FINISH THE JOB," read another sign.
Isabel didn't finish the job, and now the people of Glenville, as well as a few residents of nearby Marshallton, are still slogging through the mess.
Moran is doing what he can to organize relief work, as both a clergyman and as the vice president of the community's civic association.
As a pastor, Moran has got his hands full. Not only is he helping out in Glenville, but he's also attending to the needs of his congregation in Port Deposit, Md.
Many of his parishioners in Port Deposit were without power for nearly a week, and since nearly all of them rely on wells for their running water, no power meant no water.
"So they've had a tough time," Moran said.
Back in Glenville, Moran is working to make sure that the mistakes of Hurricane Floyd are not repeated this time around.
The big problem in Floyd's aftermath was donations mismanagement, he said. Volunteers bought a trailer and people began to pack it up with donated goods.
The result: the trailer was stuffed with inappropriate donations nobody wanted. Then Moran had to figure out what to do with it.
This time around, Moran is doing things a little differently. This time there is no trailer and no warehouse space. Instead, Moran is matching up donations with people who need them. That way there is no need for storage, since flood survivors get the stuff directly from the people making the donations, and there are no leftover donations, since people only take what they need.
This system is working well so far, he said, except for one drawback.
"The downside of it is I don't have much time to work on my own house," he said. "And we got raw sewage in the basement."

Designing learning for impact: using behavioural science [RECORDING]
No one would dispute that changes in technology have a huge impact on the way we work, live and play. So how can we best harness the power of technology to deliver learning? And how can we ensure that learning drives behaviour change and business impact?
In order to design digital learning for behavioural change and business impact, it's all about experience design – applying principles of User Experience (UX), the end-to-end Learning Experience (LX), and behavioural science to create a model of simplification.

The smaller size and advanced technology of computer chips is advancing at a fantastic rate. Pictured above are samples of RFID computer chips that are placed inside the D mint mark of a American Dime.
The evolution in computer chips and their miniature size has advanced to the point beyond human comprehension. While most citizens are aware that GPS tracking technology already exists in their cell phones and automobiles, few are aware of the tracking devices they already carry in their wallet. The latest global credit cards already have a chip implanted in the cards magnetic strip. Almost all drivers who have renewed their drivers license are unaware of the chip implant that lies in the bar code of their license.

Extra information about lake district wedding venues
Since it was established as a National Park in 1951, the Lake District has attracted millions of visitors annually. Most come for the spectacular mountain scenery, the fell walking and the area's literary associations, although weddings in the lake district have also become increasingly popular.
Extra information about lake district wedding venues
Why Tie the Knot In the Lake District?
This beautiful corner of England makes the perfect romantic and picturesque location. Artists, writers and poets such as Wordsworth, Ruskin and Beatrix Potter have been attracted to the area for several centuries, and the arrival of the railways in the 19th century attracted more tourists, as well as making the area accessible from anywhere in the UK. The Lakes are famous for their mountains, and the 18 or so lakes that are located here make the ideal backdrop for wedding pictures. There are also several beautiful gardens open to the public, such as Lowther Castle and Brockhole. Unfortunately, the weather in the Lakes isn't always guaranteed to be perfect, but the scenery arguably makes up for any damp days.
A Choice of Venues
One of the advantages of getting married in the Lake District is the wide range of suitable venues, ranging from stately homes to luxury hotels; in fact, some of Britain's finest country house hotels can be found here. And accommodation isn't a problem either, whether it's for the honeymoon or your guests. The Lakes probably have more places to stay than most other National Parks, with dozens of farmhouses, cottages to rent, and bed and breakfast inns. Many area hotels are renowned for their good food. Holding your wedding and reception at the place you are staying at eliminates much of the need for transportation, and there is no shortage of lake district wedding venues which also offer luxury accommodation.
What to Consider
Although it isn't hard to see why so many couples are drawn to the beauty of the English Lakes, consider these points when choosing the ideal venue. Some areas of the Lake District can be remote and you may want to choose somewhere in a larger town such as Windermere, Kendal or Penrith, all offering good road and rail access. Many larger venues offer inclusive wedding packages, which is typically a lot more cost effective than putting the different components together yourself. And keep in mind the size of your party and number of guests; you don't want to pay for space or services that you won't need.

Betty Ford died on July 8th, 2011 at the age of 93, but the Betty Ford legacy will live on forever. Not all the details of her death are known as of yet, but what I do know is that we have lost an incredible woman.
Betty Ford did a number of incredible things throughout her life - she was an outspoken and brave woman. She often opposed the ideas of her husband's Republican party, taking a tolerant stance on abortion and speaking openly about drug and alcohol use and women's rights. Despite all of the things she may have done politically, I think one of the most amazing things she did was to openly discuss her problem with alcohol and addiction in the 1970s.
Betty Ford founded the Betty Ford Center and she also served as the first chairwoman of the board of directors. Before it was acceptable to admit that you had a problem with drugs, Betty Ford was sharing it with the world.
She was a respected woman, the wife of a president, and she was expected to uphold a certain image. She was able to exude integrity and she was able to gain respect despite her issues with drugs and alcohol.
Before there was Celebrity Rehab or Intervention, the Betty Ford Centre rehabilitation efforts gave hope to struggling drug addicts and alcoholics. She gave them a chance to get better and she told them it was okay to admit that they needed help. The Betty Ford Center was founded in 1982, long before it was acceptable to get treatment for addiction and alcoholism.
Although Betty Ford has passed away, her legacy will remain forever. The Betty Ford alcohol drug rehab facility she founded and the various Betty Ford clinics around the country will continue to serve addicts and alcoholics and give them a new chance at life.
Betty Ford was an inspirational woman, openly expressing opinions that many people did not agree with. She was not afraid to fight for what she believed in, and she was not afraid to fight for her life and get help with her alcoholism and drug addictions.
I was recently watching a video of an interview with Betty Ford where she discusses the time her family planned an intervention for her. She is so open about it, which is an admirable trait. This video was from many, many years ago, but her candor and her honesty have inspired so many people.
She was such a graceful and elegant woman, and the fact that she spoke out about her own problems really helped to change the way people viewed an 'addict.' She was not homeless, living in the streets, she did not look disheveled - quite frankly, she just does not 'look like' an alcoholic or an addict.
Betty Ford embodies a message of serving others that is one of the cornerstones of Alcoholics Anonymous and is a sign of a true humanitarian.
First Lady Betty Ford was the president's wife and she was respected by so many people. Her honesty showed people that addiction does not discriminate. Just because someone has fame, money, respect, a family, and all of the external things, does not mean that they cannot be touched by the disease of addiction. What Betty Ford has done for this country is something that will never be forgotten.

|You can condition all leathers except the buttery soft variety what you learn here.
Take a tiny bit of petroleum jelly on a soft cloth and rub on your clean leather shoes that you were about to polish. Do not use this method on suede. Allow the petroleum jelly to soak in a bit before wiping away with another clean cloth. Once you try this thrifty tip, you'll be just as nuts about how it works to condition leather as I am.
Petroleum jelly also works well on a leather purse except not on any of the super-soft leathers of expensive bags. Thicker handbag leather, more on the order of shoe leather that takes to shine, will work. Conditioning with petroleum jelly can save an aged bag from cracking. Those buttery soft leathers should be treated more carefully though with recommended leather cleaners.
If you follow this simple tip, you will be surprised at how supple your older bag or shoes will be again. You'll save your cherished older bag from getting those fine cracks in the leather. You may even skip the shoe polish for a while longer!

Sunday--September 27th, 2015
Hey UMass fans, we hung with the Irish for the first half. Don't feel bad, that's a really talented Notre Dame offense. Too big and too much team speed for the UMass "D".
We missed a couple of plays that would have made it closer. At the end of the first half we dropped a pass over the middle that would have given UMass a first down at least and prevented Notre Dame's last score of the first half. We also missed a chance to score on Frohnapfel's last series.
And if I was Kelly, I would have gotten out of the hurry-up and passing a couple of series before he did. He didn't have to keep the pedal to the metal that long.
UMass had 450 yards of offense and Ross Comis was 8 for 8 leading the UMass reserves. That pretty much settled who's our 2nd string QB. Another thing we did accomplish was the kicking game was finally decided. Freshman Marquis Young looked good. Andy Isabella did well running back kicks. FR QB James Sosinski made the traveling squad to Notre Dame.
Rodney Mills and Khary Bailey Smith DNP due to injuries. Those two would have helped.
Whipple needs a couple more years recruiting before we can stand up to a team as good as Notre Dame. No shame in that. Nobody quit. I'm not either.
The UMass website has the game writeup, stats and notes.
Besides Mrs. Blog and I, there were a number of UMass at South Bend.
Dan Malone says UMass started strong, but couldn't keep it close.

I thought UMass looked good in the first half. Got behind by 14 and battled back, became the first team this year to score against ND in the first quarter this year.
The ND punt put us in terrible field position and we got burned when we had to punt out of our end zone. The last second TD and the end of the half put us behind by 15 and that was it.
Our guys played hard and with ND for a half. Another year recruiting and we'll be that much stronger. We have proven over the past two weeks to other conferences that we can play with really good teams. Now we have to win 5-7 games and we should get consideration from a couple of conferences...we deserve it!

I was disappointed by special teams coverage in particular and pooir tackling in general. Thought this team was not having its best day, which is not to say that I expected a win. We hung close with a top ten team for two quarters. That is encouraging, but I'm pointing out that we came out flat for the third quarter. We should have performed better. Some positives:
Good pass blocking for much of the game;
Run blocking also was quite good for the plays that counted;
Kicking and punting looked good;
Play calling in the first half was very effective and kept ND on their toes;
We have good football players but we need more ATHLETES to be competitive with P5 teams;
We have a brilliant offensive minded head coach;
A couple of more recruiting classes should help establish the program

Rodney Mills is our #2 playmaker. If we had had him, the Irish would not have been able to concentrate on Sharpe. We put up 250+ yards of offense against Notre Dame's #1 offense in the first half alone. As I said in my post, we missed a couple of plays that would have made the score more respectable.
I don't know how it looked on TV, but Laurent's punt at the end of the first half was his only bad kick. It had distance, but no hang time. The Notre Dame returner had ten yards before anyone from UMass got near him.
The UMass defense really played hard. They got tired after a while. The Irish O-line was much bigger than our defensive guys and their team speed was just too much.
The only thing the game showed was Whipple is a frickin' genius on offense and we need more recruiting on defense.
Not to mention Notre Dame is for real. That's a talented team.
When Mrs Blog and I visited the chapel, I took the opportunity to pray for divine intervention. Didn't work.
Yes, I left off the State after Nichols. Try not to be anal :)

Oh, and Marquis Young could be the steal in our 2014 recruiting class.
Once he broke through the line, all those five-star Notre Dame DB's didn't come close to catching him...
- September 27, 2015 9:17 PM
There was noticeable improvement in how RBs, notably Young and Wilson, found creases and even huge gaps. They ran well, and the play calling should be given much of the credit. i still think the RBs need to burst through the line with more authority and less hesitation. Easy for me to say; I'm not the one facing the ND line!
You are right about R. Mills; having him in the lineup would've certainly created many more opportunities, and dare I say, a couple of more touchdowns with sustained drives, keeping the defense off the field. Could have been a closer game for three quarters just be Mills' presence.
Young is a stud. Can you imagine what the kid is thinking as he's running away from the ND defense in THAT stadium amid all the noise? Last year he's playing at a prep school in New York with very little interest from any FBS or FCS teams. One year later, he runs for the longest touchdown, with serious afterburners, in some two decades--in South Bend --of places! Great story, and it goes to show that, with careful recruiting and determination of an athlete, great things can and will happen!
Wilson had a great game as well, especially after he found his rhythm.

Fly tying course # 4 a simple nymph
Now you should have learned the basics, mounting the hook, attaching the tying thread and the whip finish. With these you should be able to start and finish a fly, its just what's in between now!
I always believe its better to start with a simple pattern that illustrates other elementary techniques, than demonstrating each technique one for one. When you are tying this pattern you may find that handling the materials is a somewhat difficult task especially if you have large fingers and are not use to intricate work. But let me assure you, this will come with time. What I would like you to do, is tie six, of the following pattern. Try and make them as best you can, take your time and try and get the proportions correct. As you tie one after another and handle the materials and practice the technique, you will understand them…

Hearing Date: SEPTEMBER 9TH 2010
CSA Office, 600 Bercut Drive, Sacramento, CA 95811
C.S.A. ph: 916.445.5073
Introduction: We propose that the Corrections Standards Authority communicate to all Local Detention Facility Administrators within its jurisdiction, in CA counties the most recent legal mandates and clarification regarding Article II, Section 4 of the California Constitution.
SEC. 4. The Legislature shall prohibit improper practices that affect elections and shall provide for the disqualification of electors while mentally incompetent or imprisoned or on parole for the conviction of a felony.
In the League of Women Voters of California et al., Petitioners v. Bruce McPherson, as Secretary of State, et al. (2006) 145 Cal.App.4th 1469 the Court of Appeal rules: "Where the court suspends imposition of sentence and places a defendant on probation, the defendant has not suffered a conviction for purposes of article II, section 4. In addition, where a probationer is ordered to serve time in a local facility because either imposition or execution of sentence has been suspended, he or she has not been imprisoned for the conviction of a felony, but has been confined as a condition of probation. (145 Cal.App.4th at 1475.) Accordingly, those confined in county jail as a condition of felony probation are entitled to vote.
Disposition: (145 Cal.App.4th at 1486):
Let the peremptory writ of mandate issue directing respondent, the Secretary of State, to issue a memorandum informing the county clerks and elections officials that the only persons disqualified from voting by reason of article II, section 4 are those who have been imprisoned in state prison or who are on parole as a result of the conviction of a felony.
Just as the Secretary of State with authority over county registrars was required to give discretion to registrars, the Corrections Standards Authority, with authority over local detention facilities, should give discretion requiring them to implement inmate voting rights, in accordance with C.C.R.'s Title 15 Crime Prevention and Corrections, Division 1. Board of Corrections. Subchapter 4. Minimum Standards for Local Detention Facilities. Article 6 Inmate Programs and Activities, Subsection 1071.Voting.
The facility administrator of a Type I (holding sentenced inmate workers) II, III or IV facility shall develop written policies and procedures whereby the county registrar of voters allows qualified voters to vote in local, state, and federal elections, pursuant to election codes.
Note: Authority cited Section 6030, Penal Code. Reference: Section 6030, Penal Code.
We call upon CSA to ensure implementation of policies that meet the spirit of the law protecting voter rights for incarcerated people in every county detention facility. Proyecto Common Touch et al. recommend the following:
1. Policies regarding the provision of written materials to inmates at the time they are booked into jail, whether as pretrial detainees or as felony probationers, informing them of their right to register and vote and ensuring they have access to absentee ballots.
2. Policies ensuring incarcerated people: have timely access to register to vote, such as making voter registration cards readily available so that they can be taken by inmates without the need to ask for them, much like registration cards are available in post offices, public buildings, and many other public places; making sure people have writing implements to fill out voter registration cards in the institution; andaccess to outgoing mail and legal mail.
3. Policies regarding posting notices in common areas in detention facilities informing inmates of their right to vote and of the steps necessary to register, apply for, and receive absentee ballots.
4. Policies ensuring incarcerated people have timely access to absentee ballots and writing implements needed to fill out the ballots, and that absentee ballots are treated as legal mail.
5. Policies permitting volunteers engaged in voter registration work access to prisoners in the facility, subject to reasonable security concerns, to solicit voter registration.
6. Policies regarding the showing of videos to prisoners informing them of their right to vote on a timely basis for elections.

TXU starts prepaid electricity service!! Oh, what terrific news!
June 24, 2011 § 1 Comment
This must be the innovation and positive impact of competitive forces that Texans were promised in 2002 when Governor Perry and his very own PUCT (Public Utility Commission of Texas) deregulated IOU's (investor owned utilities) in Texas and when the TPUC discarded the North Texas TXU franchise by allowing it to be sold to a private equity consortium (KKR, TPG, and Goldman Sachs).
Hey, good work Governor Perry, TPUC, Energy Future Holdings, and private equity smart guys. It was so boring and old fashion with Dallas Power & Light. They just sat there. Now we have exciting REP's (retail electric providers) that offer consumers choice (i.e., power to choose).
TXU, our once proud franchise utility, has joined the throngs of predatory REP's in Texas. It's business in Texas. What a great idea and income opportunity . . . let's use electricity service to exploit low-income families, the elderly, and customers with poor credit.
Now, the least fortunate electricity consumers actually have no choice in Texas: they can prepay their electricity with a large deposit, or they can prepay their electricity with a large prepayment. It's power to choose in a perverse manner.
TXU argues that the plan gives TXU the 'ability' to serve customers that don't qualify for standard service because of bad credit. Really? No ability without a predatory plan?
Also . . . 'customers want this service because they can pay as much on their electricity bills, when they choose to do so.' OK now I understand, you can pay your electricity bill (at a higher electricity rate) several times a week or month instead of a normal billing cycle . . . now that's very convenient.
In addition, with 'smart meters' TXU can put their low profile customers in the dark at any time of day when their 'prepayment' is expended. Awesome.
Maybe municipally owned Dallas Water Utilities is watching . . . they can do the same thing. Prepay your water bill and sanitary sewer service – another convenience for low-income families!
TEXAS . . . honestly, have you had enough?
Begin to separate yourself from our 'power to choose' retail electricity providers. Install a PV solar system on your home or business. Produce a portion of your own electricity. Hedge your electricity bills, and distance yourself from the usual cast of inside players.
PV is available now, it's affordable and economic, it's scalable (any size system works fine), and your investment in PV increases the value of your home or business. Learn more, and join the solar movement.
You will have no regrets. It's time to make a move. Light from light . . . cool energy.

|I have just bought seeds for zinnias and marigolds. When would be a good time to plant the seeds in flats.
|Marigold seeds pop up only a few days after being sown so hold off on them for a few more weeks. Zinnias take longer to germinate and grow so you can sow the seeds in mid-March and they will be large enough to plant outside after the first of May. So your marigod seeds in mid-April. Best wishes with your garden!

Once again another media outlet gets duped by a fake Hero. They are everywhere, fake SEALS, fake Green Berets, all lauding about their special medals and missions on which they, killed Bin Laden.
Over the past ten years, we have helped many news outlets, including Fox, avoid being duped. But, sometimes they get through the wire, as did John Garafalo.
On October 8th, 2017 Fox News ran a story about a decorated Vietnam War Navy SEAL and glass artist, John Garafalo, who created an enormous presidential glass seal he hoped to give to President Trump.
John told FOX that he was a decorated Vietnam War Navy SEAL and glass artist who created an enormous presidential glass seal he hoped to give to President Donald Trump.In the segment, John said he served in the Vietnam War with the U.S. Navy SEALs. Fox News reported that he also received two Purple Hearts and about two dozen other medals for his service.
"The Vietnam War veteran served seven years as a member of the nation's first Navy SEAL team," Fox News reporter Bryan Llenas said. "He was awarded 22 commendations, including two Purple Hearts." Llenas later called the 72-year-old New York State resident a "tough, tough man." "He was listed twice during his service in Vietnam as missing in action," Llenas noted at the segment's close.
"God bless John Garofalo," an anchor said. "We certainly hope maybe the president is listening."
Shipley, a retired SEAL, told the Navy Times that he contacted Fox on Oct. 9, the day after the story ran.
After the segment aired, former Navy SEAL Don Shipley, who is one of a few that has access to a database that can confirm if you ever attended BUD/s, (BUD/s is All Navy SEALs must attend and graduate from a 24-week "A" School known as Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) school, a basic parachutist course and then the 26-week SEAL Qualification Training program), contacted FOX to let them know they had been duped. We work very closely with Shipley on our SEAL cases, if Shipley calls someone a fake.. you can take it to the bank.
But the story was still on the news outlet's Facebook page on Oct. 19. By then it had amassed 1.5 million views.
"Fox News not withdrawing that story has drove me nutty," Don told the Navy Times. Don was irritated that they would leave the story up, days after he had contacted them to tell them John was not only a fake SEAL, but had never seen Vietnam.
Shipley said he contacted the Navy Times after Fox News failed to retract the bogus piece. Shipley provided copies of Garofalo's official military records to Fox.
Facebook correspondence provided by Shipley shows he messaged Llenas about inconsistencies in Garofalo's military history and asked Fox to retract the story. "I don't know who has the balls in this day and age to do something like that," he said of Garofalo's lies in an interview. The reporter told Shipley he had a request out for Garofalo's records. "You can turn this story around," Shipley wrote to Llenas, according to a screenshot of his Facebook correspondence with the Fox reporter. "I'll help you but avoiding it won't help."
According to official military records, Garofalo did serve a brief stint in the Navy. The only award it shows he is authorized is the NDSM(National Defense Service Medal).
In the Fox News segment, Garofalo was reluctant to be referred to as a "hero."
"You are a hero," Llenas told Garofalo in the segment. "But like most heroes—"
"I don't like to hear that," Garofalo said, cutting him off.
"Why don't you like to hear it?" Llenas asked.
Garofalo appeared to choke up.
"Heroes," he said, "are the ones that didn't come home."
Fox published a correction on Thursday, 11 days after Shipley confirmed he was an imposter.
"All of Garofalo's claims turned out to be untrue," Fox's correction stated. "The fact is that he did not serve in Vietnam. He was never a U.S. Navy SEAL. Even though he showed us medals, Garofalo was not awarded two Purple Hearts or any of the other nearly two dozen commendations he claimed to have received, except for the National Defense Service Medal."
In its correction, Fox News said, "Over the last two weeks, we've worked with Garofalo's family and the National Personnel Records Center to get to the bottom of a military past that Garofalo had claimed to be covert."
Garofalo served in the Navy from Sept. 6, 1963, to Sept. 6, 1967, according to military records obtained by the Navy Times. He told the newspaper he has been lying about being a Vietnam veteran and a Navy SEAL for years.
"It got bigger and bigger," Garofalo told the newspaper in a telephone interview. "What I did I'm ashamed of, and I didn't mean to cause so much disgrace to the SEALs."
Valor thieves have been around since the inception of our great nation. In the founding of the first medal for our military, The Honorary Badge of Military Merit, General Washington understood that there would be those that would try to steal these honors. He said in his General Order establishing this badge and basically the first US Military Awards System, that:
"Honorary Badges of distinction are to be conferred on the veteran Non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the army who have served more than three years with bravery, fidelity and good conduct; for this purpose a narrow piece of white cloth of an angular form is to be fixed to the left arm on the uniform Coat. Non commissioned officers and soldiers who have served with equal reputation more than six years are to be distinguished by two pieces of cloth set in parellel to each other in a simular form; should any who are not entitled to these honors have the insolence to assume the badges of them they shall be severely punished. On the other hand, it is expected those gallant men who are thus designated will on all occasions be treated with particular confidence and consideration."
One day these people will realize that we love our community, our country, and our Heroes that continue to make this life possible. With us, it is about Love, Honor, Bravery, and Sacrifice. This is something these frauds, liars, and thieves will never understand.

GirlForce Initiative: It's off the couch and into the gym for free Jazzercise classes
A study by John Hopkins University researchers found that the activity levels of most teens is comparable to that of 60-year-olds.
To combat that sedentary lifestyle, the folks at Jazzercise are offering free exercise classes to teens and women ages 16 to 21 through the end of 2017.
"If you can get up and work out every day, you're going to be just so much better throughout life," said Jazzercise instructor, Cori Wilson. "You're going to be healthier, you're going to make better decisions."
Wilson, who's 33, said she started Jazzercise at age 14. The GirlForce Initiative brings a "young energy" to the classes. And it's a safe environment.
"It's like dancing in comfortable shoes, sober, at a club with no weird guys trying to dance up on you," Wilson said. "You build a lot of confidence in yourself, your body."
Officials say the free program has struck a chord: for the first half of this year, about 3,500 girls and women -- like Nicolette Vanligten -- have signed on.
"I feel exhausted but great," Vanligten said after a workout. "I know that I just got a great workout. It was fun. I get to see amazing people. It's, again, positive vibes."
That Johns Hopkins study found that about 25 percent of boys and 50 percent of girls did not spend the recommended 60 minutes a day exercising at least one hour a day.

For the seventh year, the Thrivent Committee of Joy Lutheran Church successfully met their project goal in providing shoes for the homeless children in Marion County
As a result of the ice cream social fundraiser in April, $2,209 was raised, including matching funds and a memorial donation. Norma Erickson, Loretta Kremer, Bert and Georgia Adams purchased 153 pairs of shoes at Famous Footwear.
On Monday those big yellow vehicles will again appear on the roads indicating that school has started. It's important for everyone to watch out for school buses stopping and starting, as well as for children crossing roads and streets.
Tales being told out of school have already found their way to Pun Alley.
Get up
One early morning a lady went in to wake up her son and said, "Wake up, son. It's time to go to school!"
The son replied, "But why Mom? I don't want to go."
In one of the remotest places on earth, once the most isolated city in South America lies Iquitos, Peru, surrounded by the Amazon River and separated from other cities by the vast Amazon tropical rainforest and the high Andean summits. In this exotic setting dwell the Sephardic Jewish descendants of Morocco, Malta, Gibraltar, Alsace and the city of Manchester. They came originally in 1870 escaping anti-Semitism in their home countries and also in search of a better life and fortune as they cast their lot in with the rubber barons who exploited the Amazon region for the profitable product.
For those who are unsure about just what vegetable plants grow in the cooler months, the answers can be found during the Vegetable Garden Expo, Aug 21.
The annual event is held in cooperation with the University of Florida IFAS, the Marion County Extension Service and Marion County Master Gardeners at the extension service office, 2232 N.E. Jacksonville Road.
In addition to all the horse farms, the Ocala area has many other beautiful scenic surroundings. One of them starts at the golf course on East Silver Springs Boulevard and extends way into the national forest. This whole area is alive with interesting tales.
A medium in the median
At one time a midget psychic set up several pup tents in the wide center island of the Boulevard and proceeded to do business. Her size allowed her to easily run her business in the pup tent. Customers liked her because her fortune telling was always in tents.
Modern cars are wonderful. An indicator lights up whenever there's something wrong; but the source of the problem is not always obvious. Such a problem had me back to my local tire and auto care center several times. They persevered and fixed the car as good as new, spending more effort on it than I was charged.
Such problems have been known to drive auto mechanics to mental wards. Doctor: "This room is reserved for auto mechanics."
Visitor: "But the room is empty; are there any patients?"
There are many hurting/sick folks in our world, and many folks who care. Once a month, a number of ladies of Timber Ridge Community Church (10260 S.W. 110th St.) get together to stuff and finish handmade bears which are distributed to critically and terminally ill children and adults in various facilities, so that they may have a physical reminder that they are not alone and that they are cared for and prayed for. Appropriate fabrics are purchased, and the fabric is given to one member to cut the little bears' pattern; then the cut fabric is given to another member to sew together.
The important Oak Run Neighborhood Awareness Program began more than 12 years ago. Some of its volunteers have been with it all that time and are ready to pass the torch to younger residents. NAP is now recruiting new members. Won't you please help keep eyes and ears out there on the roads of Oak Run? You would only have to patrol once a month, usually for 2 to 3 hours, and attend one meeting per month. Each volunteer has to fill out an application for the Sheriff's Office and a background check is conducted.
Frank Hofstatter was really tickled when the Liberty Middle School Builders Club, sponsored by his Friendship Kiwanis Club, announced efforts to establish a relationship for their members with namesake Liberty Park on Southwest 103rd Street. As the Friendship Kiwanis liaison for LMS Builders Club, Frank works directly with faculty co-advisers, Alexan Johnson and Louann Boemio.
"Life is just a succession of busy nothings." – Jane Austen
Most of us led busy lives, even the stay at home moms. Now that we're retired, we all expected that to be a thing of the past. After all, isn't that what we were told retirement is all about? There would be plenty of time to do what we want or need to do in a relaxed, unrushed manner.
With the Lifestyle Center's great room looking a glorious mess like it is, Joe Raffony tells me that we can be confident redecoration appearances can only get better … lots better! You'll read his update when your monthly Communicator newsletter arrives today. Meanwhile, Bill Wurst and Deeann Welch agree the contractor's workmanship is both right up to spec and right on schedule.
Warm days means volleyball
August is almost upon us with the high heat that sends many of us to cooler climates if we can find them in this summer. Some go camping and others go traveling while the rest of us just think about the adventures we could find elsewhere. Pun Alley brings some camp stories and adventures to your armchair.
Real camp
A counselor was helping his kids put their stuff away on their first morning in summer camp. He was surprised to see one of the youngsters had an umbrella. The counselor asked, "Why did you bring an umbrella to camp?"
In 1947, a young Bedouin shepherd boy went on a quest to search for a lost goat. In the harsh, dry desert region that was his home, the boy naturally assumed the goat had left the herd in search of water. What the shepherd ultimately discovered was to become one of the most significant archeological finds of all time and although the goat may not have found water to drink, the discovery nevertheless would be the spiritual fountain from which three monotheistic religions would drink and be nourished.
On this day in 1829, William Burt patented a forerunner of the typewriter. The typewriter as we know it, came into being after further development. Even though the typewriter is now history, there are some interesting stories about those who pounded on the keys.
In the early days, the girl who operated the typewriter was also called a typewriter. "I say, George," said the young business man to his friend, "where do you buy your typewriter ribbons?"
"I don't," replied the other. "I usually buy her flowers."
All of us have gone through bad times of one sort or another. It could be money troubles, a difficult child, loss of a job, illness, and many other difficult problems. We have all found the strength and will to get through them somehow.
When we were younger, we knew there would be trials and tribulations we probably would have to go through. In retirement, we expected all that was behind us. Unfortunately, we were wrong. As long as we're alive, there will be lots of good times but also some bad ones will show up.
Just down the road a piece, all the residents of Spruce Creek Preserve are being called on to help their community. Application forms are now available in the Community Center office for board of director members. Two vacancies need to be filled.
All applications must be in the Community Center office by 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3. Elections will take place on Oct. 19, after the annual meeting of the Spruce Creek Preserve Homeowners Association. All candidates will be introduced to the community at the "meet the candidates" night, conducted by the Election Committee.
The Ambassadors will be having an "I Love Paris" dinner dance on Saturday, Aug. 14, at Palm Grove. The caterer has changed from that announced in the Oak Run Newsletter. Royal Oaks will provide a buffet of tossed salad, baked Virginia ham with pineapple glaze, au gratin potatoes, green beans, rolls and butter and lemon cake from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Diana and Mitch Smallwood will entertain with a big band sound, play oldies, rock, rumbas, cha-chas, swing, line dancing and specialty dance music from the 1930s through the 1990s from 8 to 11 p.m.
Well is it hot enough out there for all of you? I promised I wouldn't complain until August and I won't but it is a little toasty. Not complaining, just stating a fact!
Feature of the week
Not another "over 50'' couple this week? Yep..this week Lois and Walt Connor are the featured couple who are married over 50 years. 55 years to be exact !
Many retired people don't like change, preferring to stay in their comfort zone. What they fail to realize is how much of life they are missing. It's important to live life. Doing the same things that we have done for many years is a waste of our minds and bodies. We need to stretch both whenever possible.
True, there are many things we did in our younger years that we are unable to do now. Spend time thinking about what you are able to do at the present moment. If you don't do them now, next year might be too late.
The Friendship Amateur Radio Club held its monthly meeting on July 12 at the Sheriff's Office Brian Litz Building on State Road 200.

|Effect of (+)-catechin hydrate on oxidative stress induced by high sucrose and high fat diet in male Wistar rats.[Pubmed: 24266106]
|Increased lipid peroxidation and reduced glutathione levels in liver of rats fed high sucrose high fat (HSHF) diet were normalized by concomitant administration of (+)-Catechin hydrate. Plasma non-enzymatic antioxidants viz. alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and total thiols decrease were also significantly less in rats administered with (+)-Catechin hydrate concomitantly with HSHF diet. Thus the present results indicate that (+)-Catechin hydrate has antioxidant activity and is effective in reducing oxidative stress. The study is of clinical importance as oxidative stress is known to be the cause of many clinical manifestations viz. cancer, Parkinson's disease, atherosclerosis, heart failure, myocardial infarction and many other diseases.

Lawrence Phillips: 'Ex-Rams running back' dies in prison of suspected suicide
- Updated: January 14, 2016
Lawrence Philips died after being found unresponsive in a Kern County prison cell early Wednesday morning, and authorities believed he took his own life. He was 40 years old.
Staff at the Kern Valley State Prison in Delano were conducting security checks about 12:05 a.m. when they discovered the former NFL player unresponsive in his cell, according to a news release from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
The death is being investigated as a suspected suicide, according to a press release from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
According to Dana Simas, a public information officer with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Phillips was found unresponsive in his cell at 12:05 by a security guard doing a routine check in the segregation unit. Phillips was alive, Simas said, when he left the prison, and was pronounced dead at 1:27 a.m. at an undisclosed hospital. Simas said Phillips was likely taken to that hospital by ambulance since the prison doesn't have emergency medical transportation.
Since guards check on inmates through a window into the cell, Simas was asked how the guard knew Phillips was unresponsive and where in the room Phillips was when the guard found him. Citing HIPAA privacy issues, Simas said she couldn't disclose where Phillips was found until after a coroner's report.
"The situation we found him in suggests suicide," Simas said.
Later in the interview, Simas said she didn't have the information regarding where Phillips was found in the cell.
Kern Valley, along with other California prisons, have "mental health crisis beds," Simas said, for inmates who express "suicide ideation." She said the CDCR had no records of Phillips ever being in one of those beds.
Phillips, 40, was possibly facing the death penalty in the alleged 2015 murder of his then-cellmate at Kern Valley. He had been moved to the prison's segregation unit after 37-year-old Damion Soward was found unresponsive last year in a cell he shared with the former Husker.
Charges were filed against Phillips in September 2015. On Tuesday, a Kern County judge found there was enough evidence to hold Phillips for trial on the murder charge, according to the Bakersfield Californian. Prosecutors argued Phillips strangled his sleeping cellmate in April 2015.
Former Nebraska coach Tom Osborne told the Associated Press on Wednesday that he was surprised by the news of Phillips' suspected suicide. "All his correspondence with me in spite of circumstances have been fairly upbeat," Osborne said.
"Things weren't going in a good direction for him. All I can say is I feel very bad," Osborne said. "I guess we feel like we did what we could for him. Whatever it was, it wasn't enough."
Tony Zane, Phillips' high school coach, echoed the sentiment that Phillips seemed to be staying positive. Zane told USA Today on Wednesday that he recently corresponded with his former player, and that a letter he received last month gave no indication that Phillips had suicidal thoughts. "He was talking about the fact that his mom had gotten him an attorney."
Phillips had been behind bars in California since 2005. His 31-year, four-month sentence was for a variety of convictions, including two incidents of choking and beating an ex-girlfriend in 2005. Officially, Phillips was in prison for "inflicting great bodily injury involving domestic violence, corporal injury to spouse, false imprisonment and vehicle theft." Phillips was also convicted of driving a car into three teenagers after a pickup football game.

'Broken Biscuits' new album from Maurice Baker - a songwriter telling elemental tales(October 06, 2014)
You know how it goes - read a book, hear a song, see a play and sometimes there's an immediate connection. Occasionally, the same thing happens with people. I find that such links usually come with those who ply their trade across a slightly eccentric curve. Not sure what that says about me or them, but who cares. This recent train of thought began after listening to 'Broken Biscuits', the new album from Maurice Baker, songwriter, singer, writer and creator of those rather special characters *Alwyn Stevens and *Arthur Grimsby. Delivered in an adroitly idiosyncratic style, 'Broken Biscuits' is one man's view of stories personal, communal, invented and unprecedented.
From the profound and multifaceted message of the title track 'Broken Biscuits', through the authentic and somewhat reminiscent narrative 'Looking for the Rolling Stones', to a tough tale of abuse of the elderly in 'Mumble and Moan' and'Daisy Chain' about the simple joys of 'being together' with that particular person, these songs tell tales that make their simple messages utterly insightful. Combining views of hard times, sad stories and cherished moments with a wicked sense of humour and creativity touched with necessary sarcasm, 'Broken Biscuits' is a more than worthy follow up to his previous album 'The Singer Songwriter's Last Stand'.
The songs take you on a rollercoaster ride, the wry smile generated by 'Crazy Life On The Road', the heartfelt sadness of 'Kaikoura', the sense of ultimate waste in'Five Hundred Souls' (telling the tale of Kimberley McCarthy executed by the State of Texas) and a final ray of hope in 'The Lighthouse Keeper'. You could argue it requires a certain descent into the vale of years or a well-travelled roadmap of experience to identify with these songs, that may be true, but I think it requires no more than the desire to listen to a songwriter telling elemental tales.
The musicians on 'Broken Biscuits' are Maurice Baker (guitar, banjo, keyboards and percussion) Jackie Manai (fiddle) Mike Hirst (melodeon) and Stew Rickard (melodeon and washboard).
Find both artists and album here: www.mauricebakermusic.co.uk ... * and that's where you'll also find the story of Alwyn Stevens and Arthur Grimsby in 'The Singer Songwriter's Last Stand'.

Storage of Borates in Bulk
Although most borates can be stored in silos, some borates, such as Dehybor, can cake if storage is prolonged, due to the hygroscopic nature of the material. Silo storage of powdered Borax Decahydrate, powdered Neobor and powdered Optibor is not recommended.
Either concrete or mild steel (not recommended for Optibor due to potential corrosion problem) silos may be used. For silos of less than 500 tons capacity, steel construction is possibly the cheaper option. If concrete is preferred it may still be more economical to make the conical section in steel.
Handling of Bagged Products
All bagged borate products should be handled with care. Avoid puncturing any bags while using sharp instruments. A hole in a bag not only results in spillage but may allow moist air to enter which can cause caking. The potential for contaminating the products through punctured bags is also greater.
Borate products are packed in 50 lb. or 25 kg multi-wall kraft paper bags with polyethylene liners. Borates are also available in 2,500 lb. or 1,000 IBC's (Intermediate Bulk Carriers) constructed from white woven 100% polypropylene with or without polyethylene liners.
Storage Life and Expiration of Borates
Borates are chemically stable indefinitely if stored in the original, intact packaging in a dry and covered warehouse. The concept of an expiration date is not applicable.
All borates have a natural tendency to cake under prolonged storage, which is exacerbated under compaction or in extreme heat or humidity, or cycling heat/humidity. We therefore recommend storage on racking or single height and the application of FIFO (First In First Out) principles of stock control.
Powders are more sensitive to the changes outlined and will often show a fairly early tendency to form loose agglomerates. Generally speaking, these agglomerates disintegrate under hand pressure and this compaction should not be mistaken for hard caking.
Our NF (National Formulary) and EP (European Pharmacopoeia) products are the only products that have a three year from production expiration date, which is noted on the COA. This is technically a retest date.
