More than a month ago, we decided to at least temporarily halt online comments on stories. I wrote a column about the decision, then braced for the complaints.
They never came.
OK, we did get one complaint via email and two on Facebook. The protests actually made me feel more justified in the decision. All three were from outside the area, people whose real identities were hidden. At least one was a serial commenter on other websites. They could have been Russian bots for all I know.
On the flip side — and this was a surprise too — I received more then 20 emails that praised us for the decision. Readers said the anonymous comments had no value or credibility and it made no sense for the newspaper to provide that platform.
This comment from longtime reader Gary Estep was one of the typical ones: "Thank you for your wise decision regarding offensive comments posted anonymously on chicoer.com. I heartily concur. The Internet is rife with disturbing, vulgar, untruthful and misleading material and many of us are getting to the point where we are considering giving up trying to talk to people whose mind is made up, truth, accuracy and civil discourse be damned."
Of course, nobody can police the entire internet — not even Facebook or Twitter, which has just a little larger staff than ours. But we can do our part.
An interesting byproduct of the decision is that we've been inundated with letters to the editor since then.
It appears people are more inclined to share their opinions and sign their name on it if they know they won't be subjected to anonymous potshots by online trolls.
Not that all online commenters were trolls. Some were very reasoned and used their real names. Then they would get shouted down by the trolls within hours.
Anyway, now letters are rolling in. We've even removed columnists from the opinion page several days in an effort to create space so we can run more letters. As of this writing, there are still two dozen waiting in line. Apologies to those who are waiting.
The bright side is, this is what happens when a platform exists for healthy dialogue. It gets used.
That works great in our little neck of the woods, but what about the rest of the country? Robert Mueller's indictment of 13 Russian agents who tried to cultivate discord in our country through Facebook and Twitter was a confirmation of something Americans have long suspected: Russians were manipulating us during the election. The manipulation continues today and will ramp up soon because it's an election year.
I'm one of the few Americans who has a tough time blaming it on the Russians. We're the ones to blame.
Our gullibility made us prime targets. Thanks to CNN and Fox News, who teach us the nation should be divided into two political echo chambers, too many people share only the news they want to believe, no matter how implausible, and they discount as "fake news" anything they don't want to believe, even if it's true.
A study released this week by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology verified that. It said false stories get shared more than true stories. The internet has provided a technological assist to amplify a century-old quote by Mark Twain: "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes."
Technically Russians don't have First Amendment rights, but I believe they — like Americans — have the right to write and share idiotic things on the internet. We don't own the world wide web. That doesn't mean we have an obligation to share their idiocy, especially when we know it's designed to divide America.
Russians may have planted the seeds during the last election, but Americans watered them.
We not only have to be smarter about what we share, we have to be more discriminating about what we choose to believe.

Me: Annika, you can't get out of the tubby. You haven't washed your bum yet.
Annika, turning to bend over and moon me: Yes I did, Mommy. Smell it.
People without children never have the joy of having another person bend over and tell you to smell their bum! As if cleaning crap out of it isn't enough!

- By Best Flooring
- In Hardwood
Create a Dramatic Look by Upgrading Your Stairways
If your house has two or more levels, then the decision on how you design your stairs can be very crucial in determining the entire décor of the house. This is simply because stairways tend to create strong first impression for anyone entering your home for the first time. That first impression can also dictate their opinion on how the entire house, including the levels above, will look.
Due to stairs having such a strong impact, most home builders typically suggest going for a bold design when you are finishing up your house. This is regardless of whether the stairs are the 90 degrees run with intermediate landings in the middle, the sophisticated and luxurious curved stairways, or the simple straight stairs. Properly designed stairways give the entire house a particular taste and feel that makes people get a sense of comfort and warmth when in the house.
One of the best ways that have been used in upgrading stairs is through the installation of pre-built hardwood risers and treads. These are usually manufactured and supplied without the last layer of finish. Once they arrive in your home, the custom builders would look at the finishing of your home and then stain the pre-built hardwood flooring to compliment your house décor. It's a very efficient way of making your stairs stand out while also retaining the initial design.
To avoid wear and tear on your hardwood flooring, install a matching carpet in the middle of the stairway. This is the most practical approach to preserving the integrity of your flooring without spending a fortune.
There are other methods of upgrading the stairways that can save you a lot of cash in a variety of ways one of which is by installing the treads and risers yourself.
Improving your Stairways as a DIY Project
You can improve your stairways in two main ways:
First, most stairs found in our homes are usually built using softwood risers and treads. These woods are quite simple to remove and replace and you won't need an expert to do that for you. You can easily replace them with a uniform prefinished hardwood.
You can also go for a more dramatic designing by painting the risers alone and then installing hardwood treads. This will give your stairway a unique appearance while also saving you on costs.
Another good thing with upgrading your stairs with hardwood flooring is the wide variety of choices that you get when it comes to wood size, finishing, and species. You can, therefore, customize your stairways using these options to express the feel that you want for your home.
The other way of upgrading your stairways is through using prefinished hardwood risers and stairs that are commonly found in most flooring stores. They are designed to match most of the already existing flooring options in stock which mean that you can choose one which blends perfectly with your existing floor and home styling. After that, the only thing remaining would be to install them, which is a simple task that you can handle using household tools.
If you are looking to design your unique stairways, then unfinished hardwood is also available. You could also save on costs even more by building treads and risers out of the hardwood flooring that you have already chosen for your house. With a bull-nose trim, you can make the front edges appear sleeker.
One important factor that you need to remember when upgrading the treads is whether the stairs are boxed inside two walls or if one side is displayed. If they're boxed, then you can just use standard treads with bullnose trims on the front. If one side is exposed, you have to go for universal treads as they have excellent finishing on the edges which is essential in making the house look attractive.
This is an easy DIY project that will boost the appearance of your home without costing you much. Using a few hardwood treads and risers and some household tools will go a long way towards changing how you and your visitors feel when they walk into your house.

If you would like to help with my coffee and muffin consumption, check out the "A Little Help?" post here. Thanks!
Deep Fried Humor, Please
"Dude, my food truck is a study in culinary fusion. We start with a foundation of the latino style street taco. And then we incorporate south-east Asian seafood with Middle Eastern simplicity. Our signature item is The Pickled Goat's Head and Hummus Taco Salad. We wrap the whole thing in seaweed and sprinkle generations of racial tension over the top. Because, this dish is really an abomination."
"I like food."
Word? Can we be a little more vague? What kind of food? You can't just say you like food. That's like saying you like music.
"I have a penchant for post punk new wave circa the early eighties. Mostly the CBGB movement of New York City."
That's better. We compartmentalize our loves to be better understood. For instance: The Dead Kennedys and Blink 182 could both be described as punk bands. If you said you were a fan of punk rock does that mean you are a fan of both bands? Probably not. You have to specify what kind of punk rock you like. Hardcore, satirical punk or silly, pop punk. There is a giant chasm between the two bands. AND, it's important to convey to people that Blink 182 sucks.
"I like comedy."
Oh, really? What kind of comedy do you like?
"The kind that makes you laugh. What do you mean what kind of comedy?"
Well, do you like sophomoric humor? Are farts funny?
"No. Farts are disgusting. Dick jokes are stupid."
Oh. So we're getting somewhere now. How do you feel about cursing? Do you like your comedy blue?
"Swear words are too easy. You can be more intellectual with your jokes. When a comedian curses, I always think they are taking the easy road. Anybody can swear. It doesn't make you funny. It's just lazy writing."
I see. This is great! We are honing it down to a specific type of comedy, do you see? With all of this being said, can you be more specific about the type of comedy you like?
"Ummm… I guess I like it when people get hurt. Physical humor I suppose. When someone falls, I lose it."
Right. I would say you like mutilation humor. Hmm. Right this way…
"Why are you laughing!?" Sandy stood horrified. A car has just crushed a small, super cute, furry bunny. Jim-Bob is doubled over as his laugh, (part chicken, part evil villain), fills the stunned silence of Main street.
"Did you see the way that rabbit exploded?" guffawed Jim-Bob. "It was like a ketchup packet. God damn! I wonder how far his guts flew! Man! That's gotta be at least fifty feet!"
"Jim-Bob! A cute little bunny was just run over! It's horrifying. I.. I think I'm gonna be sick."
"Yeah, but the way it exploded. I didn't know rabbit skin was so malleable. It looked like a balloon filled with lasagna!"
Sandy looked at Jim-Bob with disgust. How could anyone find such a horrifying display humorous? She shook her head as something deep within her gut summoned her lunch to reverse direction. Her eyes welled with tears.
Jim-Bob noticed this disapproval and said, "Oh, I'm sorry dear. Would you like me to get you some water?"
"No," Sandy spat. "You need to get away from me. Your actions are appalling. How could you laugh at that?"
Jim-Bob shrugged and then said, "I love mutilation humor. That's why I was attracted to you." Jim-Bob grabbed Sandy's arm and ran his fingers over the scars that lined her forearm. "Cutters are not only super sexy, they're hilarious."
There are tons of descriptors for comedy at your disposal. There is situational, parodic, slapstick, morbid, self deprecating, acerbic, derisive, satirical, and many more. And you can mash a few of those up if you want! So, why can't we describe our tastes for comedy like we do for music or food?
"I really like racial humor circa the early 70s. Stereotypes are hilarious. Like that show "All In The Family." It's fantastic."
That's better. Because, frankly, I'm tired of people saying something isn't funny and expecting the world to agree with them. For instance, you can hate country music, but you are aware that some people like it, right? So you would say, "I don't like country music." You personalize it. Why couldn't you say, "I don't find this funny. It's not my type of humor." That's an acceptable comment. I could live with that.
If you can accept that rat placenta is a delicacy in some parts of the world, then you must accept that humor is a multi faceted concept. And that some of it is an acquired taste…
The alarm clock screams out it's siren wail. Jim-Bob slaps down on the alarm clock's snooze button silencing the daily foe. "Shut up, Martin!" Reality washes over him. Another day has begun.
With a huge grunt, Jim-Bob throws his legs over the bed frame and sits up. He rubs his face with both hands. He repositions himself just enough to let out a fart. "Sorry, Larry. I couldn't hold that back." As the sulfur rises through the room, Jim-Bob is surprised at the veracity of this butt bomb. He pats his mattress. "That was bad. Sorry, buddy." He wonders what he ate that could create such a terrible smell. It must of been that food truck on Alvarado. He decides that kimchi and ghost peppers have no business being on the same piece of challah bread.
He rises and moves to the kitchen. He opens a cupboard where a sign is taped to and hanging from the top shelf. It reads, "You can only pick one." On the shelf below is a bag of Colombian coffee that sits next to a loaded .44 Magnum. Taped to the handle of the gun is a name tag that reads, "Ezekiel." As Jim-Bob mules over this decision, Pavement's "We Dance" pops into his head. He sings aloud. "There is no-oh castration fe-ar…" He grabs the coffee and shuts the cabinet. "Not today, Zeke."
"…but no one will dance with us in this zany town…" The smell of coffee brewing overtakes the earlier anal attack as Jim-Bob giggles to himself. He thinks about how many Colombians had to die to make this batch of coffee, and are they aware they have saved a life today. He opens up another cupboard where four coffee mugs sit with names taped to their handles. "Three deaths is acceptable," he says as he grabs a mug labeled Bertha. "One American equals three Colombians. Everybody knows that, right Bertha?"
The Alarm clock screams out again. Jim-Bob pivots quickly around. "I thought I told you to shut the fuck up, Martin!" He walks briskly over to the clock and turns it off. "Is this humorous to you? Always screaming twice? Listen, Martin! It's not funny!"

Article Title
The civil disobedient need not accept his punishment in order to demonstrate his commitment to the rule of law, and in some circumstances it would be inappropriate to do so. The use of violence is justified when and only when the pain, suffering, and injustice that we overcome thereby outweighs the pain, suffering and injustice that results from our actions. There have been circumstances in recent history in which, it is plausible to believe, these conditions were met.

Emergency assistance is available throughout Tazewell County. There is a network of social service programs, medical clinics, food pantries and other charitable agencies that staff from the non-profit community action agency can refer people too. Not only can Tazwood Community Services often provide more information on these programs, but they also administer some of their own aid to the less fortunate.
The team at Tazwood Community Services seeks monetary donations from the community to help clients who cannot find the assistance they need within the network of other local charitable agencies. The staff also help families understand the local resources available to them that can best serve the unique needs of each person.
Weatherization work is performed by a local conservation contractor at no charge to the participant, and all work is inspected upon completion. The Tazwood Community Services energy conservation program offers income-eligible homeowners, landlords, or even rental tenants the opportunity to make their homes more comfortable. For rental properties, the program requires a three-party agreement between Community Services as well as the landlord.
In order to qualify, the Tazewell County based home must be in such a condition that it can be effectively weatherized. This will be done using materials that meet federal standards and adhere to cost limitations imposed by federal government or state of Illinois regulations.
Conservation is effective in providing energy-efficient measures that reduce consumption and lower utility bills. The Weatherization services can include insulating attic, walls, and foundation; eliminating points of air infiltration; tuning up a HVAC unit; testing and repair or replacement of furnace and water heater; and other minor home repairs, as needed. It also covers any health and safety needs.
Assistance with home heating costs is available to low-income families and the working poor. The staff at Tazwood Community Services have information on options available, including the federal government-run Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP). Receive applications to this during the fall months for receiving a grant for heating or gas bills.
Along with regular LIHEAP assistance for paying heating, propane or gas bills, those at risk of disconnection may qualify for Crisis Assistance from Tazwood Community Services. Program benefits include short-term fuel assistance and account credits for bills that are past due in addition to referrals to family development resources.
Through a comprehensive, holistic approach to personal and financial development, Transforming Lives from Tazwood Community Services works with low-income, at-risk families to help root their lives. It offers them support through job and home stability. For clients in the larger Tazewell County community, there is 1 to 1 coaching and mentoring available to support them on their journey to independence.
Tazwood Community Services also coordinates a number of Community Education Programs around budgeting, employment, and even tax preparation from VITA. There is also personalized coaching and mentoring to participating families to help them transform their lives and reestablish independence. Through an established rapport and trust between the client and their mentor, private issues and circumstances are addressed that may be the barriers that are causing instability in their lives.
Tazwood Community Services budgeting and "smart money" workshops help clients get their finances in order. Participants will learn how to save their income, budget for their bills, and improve credit scores. Some sessions held by the community action agency also address purchasing a first home and avoiding predatory or payday lenders in the community.
This can also lead to referrals to VITA, which is a service that offers free income tax preparation. This particular program will also have an emphasis on ensuring access to the savings that many low income families can get from the Earned Income Tax Credit, and that is included as part of this program.
Tazwood Community Services Homelessness Prevention and Financial Crisis support - Prospective clients need to be aware that funding is limited and the demand is very high. The goal of this funding is to prevent a loss of housing. An eligibility assessment will take place. There will be put into place proper procedures (when to set up an appointment, how to apply) and the community action agency is allocated funding. This money is provided to each applicant. The amount of money paid out changes due to available resources or certain requirements of the funding entities.
Federal government grants are available which are used to pay late rent. Other uses of the Tazwood Community Services program may be for costs associated with an impending eviction, security deposits, first month's rent and utilities for low-income, at-risk clients. This support in Tazewell County, which may sometimes come in the form of a loan, is only able to help a small number of tenants. In turn, referrals are made to other local agencies and organizations who may be able to help as well.
Not only may the community action agency offer the services above, but there is also information on food pantries, clinics, and other government grant programs. The Tazwood Community Services is focused on helping the less fortunate from their office at 2109 S Main St, Morton, IL 61550. Call (309) 266-9941.

I would do it. Mine hurts following my cycle, so it gets very painful every month. Plus, wearing a bra aggravates it due to its location. It's 2.2 cm. I think I'll ask about removal during my 6 month follow-up.
Glad it's benign. I was a little concerned, though I thought it sounded like it would be okay.

Amazon Animals
The most concrete success pointed to by the government is that the rate of the Amazon's destruction fell in the 1990s to average levels around 4.5 million acres from more than 5 million acres in the 1980s. That is equivalent to about the size of Rhode Island. But 86 percent of original Amazon still stands. Experts estimates that we are losing 137 plant, animal and insect species every single day due to rainforest deforestation. That equates to 50,000 species a year. As the rainforest species dissapear, so do many possible cures for life-threatening diseases. Currently, 121 prescription drugs sold worldwide come from plant-derived sources. While 25% of Western pharmaceuticals are derived from rainforest ingredients, less that 1% of these tropical trees and plants have been tested by scientists.
There were an estimated ten million Indians living in the Amazonian Rainforest five centuries ago. Today there are less than 200,000.
The Amazon Rainforest has been described as the "Lungs of our Planet" because it provides the essential environmental world service of continuously recyling carbon dioxide into oxygen. More than 20 percent of the world oxygen is produced in the Amazon Rainforest.

If they knew of issues that could cause harm to their customers, then they certainly should be punished. This should include criminal charges, civil suits, and shutting down their business. They are clearly not interested in ethical issues, and shouldn't be allowed to stay open and make the same mistakes again.
I definitely think that Lidl's neglect to immediately warn the public about the paint thinner in its gravy provides grounds for a law. While I understand there may be a certain protocol the company has to follow in these types of events, withholding information from the public that could put people's health at risk is simply unacceptable.
Anyone that was injured in that two weeks that the company did not take action would have grounds to sue the company. The company could have warned people sooner. Instead, they decided to sit back and think about how public relations would deal with it. They didn't put the public first.
If the company knew and didn't immediately disclose that there could be toxic paint thinner in gravy, then there may be ground for a lawsuit. I'd imagine that one would have to prove that the company knew the paint thinner could cause harm, and demonstrate when it knew, and also that it waited to alert the public.

However, I have one particular talent that I'm pretty proud of: I can cook.
I bet you were expecting something amazing and out of this world, but you know what that is pretty impressive considering some of my friends lived off super noodles for a large part of university (ha ha not going to mention any names!)
I like to experiment in the kitchen, using a basic recipe and making it my own. I love it and I love food.
It's funny most people come home from university to be pampered and looked after, I enjoy coming home and cooking for my mum, who by the way loves everything I cook (and if she doesn't she never says, she's good like that) from anything to curries and stir frys to fish dishes and Italian.
I am partial to cooking desserts my most spectacular dish was a white chocolate cheesecake, very fiddly but bloody gorgeous. I can do lemon meringue pie and I am a genius when it comes to making brownies, which I am doing tomorrow so I may pop a picture on for you all to drool over the fact you aren't getting any. Ha.
For now though here is a picture of what I like to think looks like Rob Pattinson getting ready to hit Kristen Stewface on the head with his MTV Movie Award:

Btw, do you have any thoughts about the Roli Seaboard Rise..? Saw it at a local shop few day ago and want to try it out as soon as they get it set up with sounds. I'd imagine it would be something special to use live.Replies

Jewish Quarter & Castle at Night
The requisite Prague combo tour
The requisite Prague combo tour
Both enchanting and intriguing, the historic Castle and Jewish Quarter neighbourhoods of this stunning capital represent two of the most iconic areas this ancient and truly remarkable city has to offer and, indeed, form an integral part of the history of Prague.
As esoteric as they are eerie, the quieter streets of Prague become mysteriously alluring once the masses have dispersed.
Join our combo tour to discover a more magical side of the ancient Jewish neighbourhood. Learn the fascinating story of the Ghetto's famous Golem and immerse yourself in the once miniature town before continuing to the breathtaking beauty of Prague Castle by historic tram. There we'll discover a unique opportunity to absorb the real splendour of the encapsulating Hradcany district whilst beating the crowds.
Please Note
As we limit group size to a maximum of 8 people, this experience is bookable in advance only. This tour does not enter any of the interiors of Prague Castle or the Jewish Quarter, both of which are closed to the public during the evenings

Hi there! If you are here, then there is a huge chance that you want to know more about me. Well sorry to disappoint you, but I am not a special person! However, If I have to describe myself in a sentence, I would say that I am a practical learner, a knowledge enthusiast, a life hacker and a would-be mentor.
And yes, I am an introvert.
Being an avid learner of unconventional topics makes me think in an unconventional way. It all started with my B.Tech degree in Electrical Engineering from MNNIT Allahabad, India (2008-2012). After that, I was lucky enough to clear Engineering Services Examination in 2012 itself without attending any coaching. (How?) Moreover, I had cleared GATE in 2011 with All India Rank of around 100 and repeated that again in GATE 2012. I am currently working in Indian Railways as an IRSEE officer. (What's that?) Prior to that, I was working in NTPC Ltd. Once upon a time, I was a die-hard aspirant of the civil services (IAS) which even led me to the Interview stage in 2014. But then I left my IAS preparations. (Why?)
From being unconventional, I have now realized that the beauty of life lies in experimenting with it.
Keep experimenting with it, and you will get the gems never seen by anyone before.
In this blog, I will keep writing about anything I will feel worth sharing in a hope that each post will benefit at least a single person out there.
These days I am experimenting with these areas –
- Positive Psychology
- Graphic Design
- Photography
- Data Science and Machine Learning
- General Programming
- General Management and Productivity hacks
And hence you can expect articles related to these topics here.

"A little stronger, a little wiser. Maybe a little more violent. Blame it on America." Rick Ross's Rather You Than Me is only days away from releasing, and he seems to be on the way to another successful release, especially with the premiere of "Dead Presidents," featuring Future, Jeezy and Yo Gotti. This is the . . .
After recently dropping the Kodak Black-featuring "Weatherman", Yo Gotti is back with the star studded "Castro." It's a GOOD Music posse track as it features Kanye West, Big Sean, Quavo, and 2 Chainz. (*The song is only available in select markets. US listeners will have to wait until midnight) Listen to "Castro" below and be . . .
After releasing the original last year, DJ Infamous decides to bring his "Run The Check Up" single back to life as he rounds up Jeezy, Ludacris and Yo Gotti to join in. Stream "Run The Check Up" below.
It started with a tweet, again. This time,it wasn't a rant. Kanye West revealed that he was on REAL 92.3 iHeart radio with Big Boy to reveal the first single from Cruel Winter. Of course, we all tuned in. Tune into Big Boy's 92.3 I'm about to play the first single from Cruel Winter — . . .
New Orleans rapper, Young Geatness, gets a major assist from some southern stars for the remix of his single, "Moolah." Lil Wayne and Yo Gotti come on board to add some power to an already popular track that dropped back in late November 2015. In a message to The FADER, Young Greatness makes it clear . . .
Lil Wayne brings us back to his late 2015 No Ceilings 2 release with a video for "Cross Me," which features Future and Yo Gotti. The newly released video features Wayne and Gotti, but no Future. The song addresses the inauthenticity and two-faced nature of some people in this world, and the video brings one . . .
There was a period in G-Eazy's promo campaign for When It's Dark Out where I felt like a new single was dropping everyday. It definitely kept us engaged and expectant of more as it led up to his release. Now, he brings us a remix of "Order More" with some added star power in features . . .
The wait is finally over for Yo Gotti's 8th studio album, The Art Of Hustle. The deluxe version is blessed with 15 tracks including features from K.

Memphis stars, Yo Gotti and K. Michelle come together on "My City". They paint their city as a war zone that they had to hustle to make it out of over a lone guitar chord progression. It's soulful and powerful as they document what it's like in their city of Memphis, Tennessee. "Everyday somebody's killed . . .
Memphis rapper, Yo Gotti, has been doing numbers with his "Down In The DM" single. It is arguably his biggest hit.

Yo Gotti has a treat for the fans after all the success with the hit single, "Down In The DM". He lets off a loose track titled "Again" ft. LunchMoney Lewis to show his appreciation on the way to starting album promotion. Stream "Again" below.
"Real Rap" was leaked today by rapper Yo Gotti from his mixtape with DJ Drama. Together. Yo Gotti and Jadakiss provide lyrics that inspire nostalgia referencing their hometowns. The track is deeply atmospheric and reflective looping a soulful voice of a woman and an electronic mix that adds a layer of introspection. The theme here . . .
The Game's "Don't Shoot" addresses the tragedy in Ferguson, Missouri. He brings some friends with him. A lot, actually.

While this record may lack the fire of other . . .
Memphis meets Fayetteville as Yo Gotti recruits J. Cole for his reflective single, "Cold Blood."

Whether you are a savvy solo traveler, or travel with your family along, often your priority is to have a budget and affordable stay. Latin America is home to some really affordable locations cities that are quite popular among the travelers for an extended stay. These locations are idle for the retirees as well.
The low prices stems from the fact that there has been practically no housing crisis anywhere in Latin America, thus keeping the prices low. Another reason to choose Latin America is that it experiences favorable climate and makes for a good choice for anyone who wants to experience the American way of life.
Here are some top locations in Latin America which are absolutely economical:
Mexico tops our list with its spectacular tourist destinations. There are some great tourist hot-spots in the Pacific coast such as San Carlos, Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos.
Spanish is the commonly spoken language here and basic Spanish language is sufficient to help you sail through.
Why we say that Mexico is a lot cheaper than US is because many places have a sound infrastructure and quality healthcare which can be accessed at very affordable rates and almost at a fraction of cost of living in the US.
In Ecuador, you can survive at a meager $800 USD per month. The serene and pleasant locations of Cotacachi and Otavalo are quite affordable and are amongst the favorite destinations of those who retire.
Cotacachi is quite popular for its handcrafted leather products and natural attractions. Lakes and waterfalls flanked by mountains make this one of the most ideal locations for people who want to be surrounded by natural beauty.
Canoa, a small fishing village on the Pacific coast is yet another place which is flocked by tourists and is known for water sports such as surfing and paragliding. The apartments are available for under $300 per month and the food cost ranges between $3-$5.
Argentina has a mix of expensive and affordable locations and the popular expat locations tend to be on the expensive end.
Buenos Aires and Mendoza are tourist favorites but since inflation continues to haunt these locations, the prices are slightly higher.
The cosmopolitan city of Salta is apt if you want a homely feel along with plenty to do around. The apartments are available for as low as $250 USD per month, though this involves a bit of research as the central areas are expensive.
Peru is home to many affordable locations and Huanchacho is the idlest with its cost of living as low as $800 USD per month. This is located on the Pacific coast and you can spend your time soaking the sun, sea and sand.
Language is not a barrier here as you will bump into a number of English speaking tourists in this place. Cusco is yet another affordable city in Peru and is known for the Machu Picchu ruins, museums and market. The description of Cusco is incomplete without mentioning Cusco's night life. The central area is quite safe due to military presence hence roaming around at discos, clubs and attending live bands and shows is so much fun.
You can rent the smallest apartment with one bedroom for as low as $40 USD per night.
If you are planning to travel to Latin America in the near future, you can have a cheaper stay by cashing in on discount codes and vouchers available at www.hotuksavings.co.uk. Deals are available at selected hotels and offer you bang for the buck.

Horror Story?
What is your biggest video horror story? You know, we've all had those clients. Or we've flown to another state for a shoot and forgot some critical equipment.
Stephen Smith
Salt Lake Video
Check out my DVD Money Making Graphics & Effects for Final Cut Studio 2
I swear it didn't happen to me, but to guys I know (I don't do sports). They had contracted to shoot a high school basketball tournament finals for the local Tv station. The Big Game was to be mixed live to tape in the location van in the afternoon, and broadcast that night around eight.
All went well in the first half of the game, and to save tape, someone in the van stopped the recording during the halftime break. To keep the time code progressing (they were using free-run time-of-day for time code), someone in the van pressed the record button without pressing record + Play simultaneously. From a distance, this is indistinguishable from being in full record, as the counter is progressing the way you'd expect. On casual inspection.
Sure enough, in the heat of the moment, nobody re-checked the deck record settings as the second half started up.
I hear it was a marvelous game, one of those cinematic emotional teeter-totters where the score kept shifting rapidly, and it even went into overtime, plus was won with a fade-away, single-handed Hail-Mary 3-pointer at the buzzer, the home town crowd going completely wild.
And they didn't have a single frame of it.
The Producer quickly ran out into the arena to see if anybody had ANY footage on any format, no luck. The team, coaches, and crowds were already heading out to celebrations. No calling anybody back.
The ads had already been bought and paid for, the show was hard scheduled, there was no getting out of putting on a show that night. But they only had the first half of a show.
THAT, my friend is a "Kobiyashi Maru Test".
First thing they did was fess up, immediately. You can't start solving the problem until you tell everybody; time for recriminations and punishments later, right now they had to brainstorm. Four hours or less to airtime.
They wound up re-creating the second half using interviews and narrative descriptions by the play by play guy, just sitting there in a chair on the court, on camera, and describing the game of the decade we would never see. It sort of worked, the station was a laughingstock for a week or so. I don't know if any of those guys got hired to cover sports again, but they are all still working.
What can we learn from this? Familiarity and complacency will sneak up and bite you, if you ever leave them an opening. If people laugh at you for being over-prepared or having too many back-ups for a "simple job", just let them laugh. When stakes are high, the team should always double-check each other's work, and nobody should ever be insulted by this.
The alternative is much, much worse.
We did a shoot today - not a horror story, just a relation to Mark's post above. We had a live to tape switch, also recorded live to hard drive. We also had ISO recordings from all three cameras, and an ISO with audio of the slides, also to hard drive. As a backup to the backup they also recorded an SVHS of the hard drive confirmation. Changing tapes for all 4 recordings meant coordinating things. Change the live to tape at any time, as long as the three cams were still rolling. Change the wide shot cam while the moderator is talking. Change the moderator cam after the WS was rolling and change the 3rd camera between panelists - it worked down to the second.
As for horror stories...see next post.

I have flown cross country to find out a one-of-a-kind surgical case was postponed. I did get very familiar with Downtown Omaha however. I hung out with Warren Buffet playing darts and drinking the local brew. He's pretty cool. Even let me drive his Bentley.
Seriously, this has happened a few times. Sometimes patients just don't show up.
A tenacious client can make things difficult, but this just comes down to knowing your client.
My fave story is described in my article Surgical Video: The Cutting Edge. In a nutshell - I flew home from a conference, re-edited a video all night then going standby, returned to the convention in Chicago the next morning and with minutes to spare got the video "on the air" or so to speak. Nowadays with laptop editing, this will never happen again - as long as I have the hard drive that is!

A buddy lost the tip of a finger by trying to move too fast and pick up a tripod with the camera still on top. Does that qualify?
Or are we looking more for something like, the freelance shooter I was producing with once turned on his camera 1k sungun by accident while resting his hand-held camera by his side, and set a client's wooden chair smoking, huge billowing clouds, with a huge burn mark in it.
Stuff like that?
Mark, all three of those are great stories.

I'll play.
Flew to San Diego to videotape a presentation at a convention of high level psychologists. The keynote speaker was a very nice and very accomplished woman who was debuting some new cutting edge research.
Room set up looked good when I arrived. The wall behind her was exterior windows but some smart soul had ordered a full wall of black velour pipe and drape so backlighting wasn't going to be a problem. Then the folks brought in a set of really lovely light tan chinese folding screens across the stage that I just new was going to make a great neutral video background no matter what the speaker wore.
My client arrived and was delighted with the look of the stage. She went away to change into her speaking clothes and being a bit overweight, came back after choosing a slimming black silk suit with a juanty bright red scarf at the neck for a spot of color.
Of course, Murphy was waiting and less than a minute after I started rolling camera two stagehands came out and struck the Chinese screens.
Yep. Black silk suit against a black velvet drape.
The resulting video perfectly created the old Jay Leno "Beyondo" gag with a perfect floating head in a sea of nothing. Even her bright red scarf added the impression that the talking head had recently had a date with an executioner.
Here's an 'almost' disaster story.
Spent the entire night working on a project that the client was picking up at 7:30 am to take with them on a business trip that morning.
About 5:30 I'm set to export the time line and I get a 'the project is corrupted' error message on my screen. Shutdown, reboot, couldn't open the project file. A real sphincter moment.
I got out of my chair, on my knees on the floor curled up in a ball asking the powers of the universe 'why me'? 10 hours of work gone in a microsecond.
Fortunately I had 'auto save' on, found the backup file and ended up only losing 15 minutes of editing. It reinforced my mantra of auto save, backup. Auto save, backup..........

This is my first post of my quit.
I have attempted to quit before using NRT and only lasted a matter of weeks.
This time I am cold turkey. Just sugar free gum and sweeties, no nicotine for a whole week.
I have numerous tattoos, so I decided to have a bird on my wrist as a reminder of my freedom from tobacco. It is still at the hurty stage so is a useful reminder tool at the moment.
Great to read all the threads on here.

Kids, work and cheap privacy ideas
The point is to invade many events, many enjoy a summer camp. So look at magazines, books, and streets to get an idea of ??what you want. Although the upgrade is very expensive, you can opt for cheaper ideas. The basic idea is just that the party arrives. If you're not sure, it's usually a good idea to create a pen with enough room for a few more animals than you think. As with any pond or pool, it is a good idea to set a sandy bottom before putting the pond in the ground.
There are a lot of fun options and it can be a bit overwhelming if you are trying to choose a single approach to spend the moment. Decide on the place you will use and start the brainstorming. Fortunately, there are many DIY Halloween decoration ideas waiting to be discovered, and we'll probably look at some of the larger ones below.
A well-designed design not only enhances the value of your home, but also provides pleasant outdoor space for time with family and friends. Your design must therefore take into account your needs. The fence plan is simple.
An advantage of having your own greenhouse is that you can grow vegetables or plants throughout the year that you like because you can control the temperature in them. The other advantage is that you do not even need a pump if you probably do not add fish. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
It is possible to dance, to have fun and to feel really good later. Make sure it's stylish and fun for everyone. It's so much fun to win something else – something that makes a unique object. Another nice and totally free tip is to do it in your house.
In the arms of cheap backyard privacy ideas?
A pond offers an exciting addition to any garden, even a small one. The preformed pond is probably the best for the first time, or someone with very little or no experience. A pond is not easy to move if you do not like it in a few years. Before you decide to build a pond in your garden, you should investigate and plan a little.
The design of the garden pond must be designed to ensure privacy and beauty. It is very resilient and although it will not last forever (there is nothing in the garden anyway), it will take a few years and is therefore perfect for our needs. It can be very depressing to have a home garden that is attacked by waffles. The garden should be considered an outdoor space and if you are willing to give a little more to get it right it will be usable for a large part of the year. Developing a backyard wildlife habitat garden that attracts birds and animals to attract the area in your lawn is a fun and fulfilling experience, and the animal-friendly gardening can enhance the enjoyment of every yard.
A patio is simply a unique element of garden design, but it is one of the most expensive elements of horticulture. It should never be considered in isolation, without taking into account the rest of the garden. The installation of a terrace is expensive, but it is worth spending so much, because the terrace is such an important part of the garden. Decide how you want to use the terrace. The steps to creating this kind of simple patio and everything you need to start it is described below. Irregular shaped terraces require more cuts, so buy 10% more for this material.
Increase the atmosphere of your patio by using a range of highly decorating ideas that you would use in your home. It is normal to improve your home if you have lived there for many years. In general, all you need is something that hangs around the house and some cheap candles. Since many people choose to be used and sometimes sleep or live in a home, this is not always a 24-7 practice. It is better to hang two mirrors in the same room to place them on the opposite walls, and you will find that your room will appear relatively larger. So keep reading, because there are many things to think about when adding a sun room to your home! For example, if you look

What's the story morning glory? I don't know why but everytime I make this dish I have the Oasis album title in my head.
This by far is one of my favourite vegetables. My face lights up when ever I see this on the menu of an Asian restuarant. As not all of them serve it here. The only real problem I have is that the morning glory that you eat or buy here in the UK, tends to come with alot of stem. In Asia you will get more of the leaves which is what I love the best.
What is morning glory?
Morning glory is a vegetable eaten for its tender shoots and leaves. It is commonly found in Southeast Asia. It is also known as water spinach, river spinach, Chinese spinach and Chinese watercress. It takes very little effort to grow morning glory and that's partly why this vegetable is so popular. It is used extensively in Burmanese, Thai, Laotian, Cambodian, Malaysian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Fillipino and Taiwanese cuisine.
Although each country has their own way of cooking it. The Vietnamese like to stir-fry with with chilli and garlic; the Chinese like to either cook it with just garlic or sometimes cook it with fermented beancurd.
I hope that I will be sharing more morning glory recipes with you from all over Southeast Asia.
But for now I leave you with the Vietnamese version.
Happy cooking everyone! 🙂
Step 1: Prepare the ingredients. Cut the morning glory into 3 equal lengths.
Step 2: Fry the chillies and garlic for a few minutes.
Step 3: Add the water spinach and the rest of the ingredients.
Step 4: Cook until the morning glory starts to wilt.
- 1tbsp of oil
- 3 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 1 red chilli (chopped) (optional)
- 500g morning glory
- juice of ¼ of a lime
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1tsp of brown sugar
This recipe is:
Pin it now!

Wayne T. Newton was a loving husband, father, papa, uncle, cousin, friend and coworker. Everyone who knew Wayne looked up to him and found a diamond in the rough! He lived a very full and active life.
Wayne was born in Pensacola, FL and moved with his parents to El Cajon, CA as a young boy. He graduated from Granite Hills High School in 1965 and remained part of the Eagle community by coordinating several of the reunions. Education was very important to Wayne, he continued to learn throughout his life. He earned his first degree from San Diego State University, a Bachelor of Science of Degree in Business Administration with Emphasis in Information Systems in 1975. He furthered his education by earning a Master of Business Administration degree in Quantitative Analysis from National University in 1980, and completed his Doctor of Jurisprudence in 1984 from National University School of Law. Wayne practiced law and was a member of the State Bar of California.
Wayne was a decorated Captain for the US Navy, serving a total of 38 years combined active duty and reserve service. Wayne joined the Navy as an Enlisted member in 1968 and served in several commands in San Diego, CA including: Naval Air Station Miramar, Tactical Air Control Squadron Twelve, Fighter Composite Squadron 13 (VFC-13), Fighter Squadron 126 and Naval Special Warfare Command, Coronado, CA. During the Viet Nam War, Captain Newton performed duties within Supporting Arms Coordination Centers controlling aircraft and naval gunfire in support of numerous Amphibious Landings. In addition to the California bases, Wayne also served at the Commanding Officer of Naval Reserve Naval Special Warfare Group One Detachment 22 at the United States Submarine Base, Bangor, WA in 2001.
Upon completion of his command in 2003, he was assigned his final duties as the Deputy Commander for Naval Reserve Harbor Defense Command Unit 111. Captain Newton was mobilized in 2003 in support of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom providing Naval Coastal Warfare Force Security Operations in Kuwait.
Captain Newton's personal decorations include the Combat Action Ribbon, the Navy Commendation Medal with 1 Gold Star, and the Navy Achievement Medal with 1 Gold Star.
In addition to his military service, Wayne had a full civilian career. He was employed as a Quality Engineering Site Manager with Raytheon, where he retired in 2010. Previously, he worked as a Software Engineering Senior Manager with Cubic Defense Applications in San Diego, CA where he developed Tactical Air and Ground Combat Training Ranges for the United States Navy, the United States Air Force, and the United States Army. He also was a Senior Software Engineer for Unisys Corporation where he developed advanced submarine communications systems for the United States Navy.
During retirement, Wayne stayed busy remodeling his "Double Diamond Desert Miracle", a desert sanctuary in Ocotillo Wells, CA where his family all enjoyed going to build memories riding quads and dune buggies, playing poker, and enjoying bonfires. At the "Double Diamond," Wayne was also a friend of the critters. The doves, lizards, coyotes and other wildlife surrounded his porch for food and friendship.
Another part of his life that he enjoyed was socializing with his longtime friends including his Delta Sigma Phi fraternity brothers, high school classmates, Navy buddies, neighbors, colleagues, and family. Every Sunday morning Wayne was so excited to post his Selfie before hitting the road, revving his engine and clenching a clutch down the freeway with the "Antique Motorcycle Club."
Other hobbies and past times included: yo-yo artist, billiard expert, joke teller, magician, card trickster, World Series of Poker player, jack of all trades, and walking encyclopedia. In fact, all would agree, if you had a question, Wayne would know the answer!
Wayne passed on Labor Day, September 5, 2016 at 9:15 pm surrounded by his loving wife and family. He will be missed by all.
Wayne T. Newton is survived by his wife Millie M. Newton; his daughters Tyler McCoy, Fawn Nielsen, Rebecca Aoun, Rachel Green, Ruth Rondberg, and son Nicholas Stephenson; his siblings, Kellie Klassen, Cody Newton, and Mark Newton; his grandchildren, Noah Nielsen, Ethan Nielsen, Lorelle Aoun, Lindsey Aoun, Taylor Green, Jaqueob Kincaid, Haleigh Kincaid, and Mollie Kincaid.

Getmeoffthemoon.com has launched! International Strategies has been hard at work getting this site up and running (The site looks great!), so show them your support by signing up and submitting fan art! Alternate addresses for the page are http://gmotm.com and http://dash-and-mml.com. They all link to the same place. Now the international movement can REALLY push forward!
This doesn't diminish the importance of becoming a servbot however. We still need more support there! Join the ranks! You may not like Capcom after what they've done, but the best shot you have to get them to hear you is by posting on the Capcom-unity forums! It's going to take more than just a "Like" on Facebook to get Mega Man back to Earth!
In addition, we need more media coverage. We can't let this go quietly. In a recent email, we've gotten a suggestion to email a couple of other sources. One of them is the Consumerist and the other is The Official Nintendo Magazine from the UK. These both seem like solid suggestions. Don't spam them, but more emails asking them to cover us wouldn't hurt (and PLEASE remember to stay civil). If any of you have more suggestions, please send us an email at email@example.com!
That about does it for this Wrap-Up! Please remember (and it bears repeating) to keep things civil! We must treat others with respect if we want their help, and we cannot do this alone! Let's get him off the moon together! Legends never die!

In the Blue Mountains, about 1.5 hours west of Sydney is the world's steepest passenger railway, making a 52 degree incline over a very brief 310m trip.
Which may mean nothing to those of us who didn't pay attention when angles were being taught. It's pretty steep, it certainly feels that way, and they definitely amp up the adventurous atmosphere by playing the Indiana Jones theme song upon your descent.
Don't pack away your fedora and whip when you get to the bottom though, because you've got the option iof three different paths through the rainforest before you reach the Scenic Cableway to take you back up past the cliff edges to higher grounds.
Once you've conquered those, you may as well take the Scenic Skyway across the chasm for some pretty decent views of Orphan a Rock and the Three Sisters. *Bonus fact – this is classic date from the Bachelor/Bachelorette AU series. You can choose to stay onboard the sky gondola, but it comes highly recommended to disembark and go for a wander round for a classic viewpoint of the famous Three Sisters rock formation.
Is it a well-oiled, tourist operation? Yes. Should you do it? Well that depends on what you want to get out of it. You can get better views of the Blue Mountains for free, and have a much more "authentic experience" while you're at it. But for the ease and convenience of an solid introduction to the Blue Mountains, it's a pretty decent starting point.
Prices for all three attractions: $39 per adult – book in advance during busy periods

[exp] [/exp]It may seem a bit early to be talking about this, but trust me…it's time to snag your tickets.
BaconFest 2016 will take place at Dad's Garage Theatre's new digs on Saturday, March 26. BaconFest is filled to the brim with the most-excellent B's: Bacon + Beer. With the new location, the details will be a bit different & they will be announced closer to the date, but as of now, we know that you'll be laughing your butts off from 1:00 p.m.-6:00 p.m.
Even though BaconFest is a fundraiser for Dad's Garage, discount tickets are available. You can get Portioned Porking tickets for $25, Bottomless Bacon tickets for $45, and Whole Hog tickets for $85 if you order in advance. All tickets are $5 more at the door. BaconFest tends to sell out, so if you plan to go, order your tickets early.
FYI–This is a $21+ event.
Dad's Garage is located at 569 Ezzard St. in Atlanta's Old 4th Ward.
For an event like BaconFest, it's best to opt for MARTA: Dad's Garage is located within walking distance from MLK Station on the MARTA Eastbound line. Head east on Decatur street from MLK Station until you get to Bradley Street. Make a left, and it is one block up. If you must drive, you may luck out with street parking; no word yet if Dad's Garage Theatre's lot will be available for parking during the event.

Today we held the fourth of our weekly summer holiday activities for families – Explore Small! We looked for things on a walk around the reserve which we might not normally spot…
and then looked at them even closer with magnifying glasses and microscopes!
Finds included ground beetles
and lichens – looking closely we could see their fruiting bodies, or ascomata. On this lichen the fruiting bodies are the round 'jam tart' structures (as our lichen recording volunteer describes them!).
Elsewhere our moth recording volunteers did our weekly moth recording and a team set about brushing up on their tree ID.
A small team of our licenced ringers finished recording details of some of the nest boxes on the reserve so they can enter the data into the BTO nest recording scheme. We also did some maintenance work around the reserve…
It's definitely been a busy day and there were wildlife sightings too; highlights from various members of the public were a kingfisher, peacock butterflies and a bird (maybe a pheasant..?) with a small crowd of chicks!

This is a blog post by Tanya Pineda who is a spoken word artist living in Hamilton. As part of Tanya's Grade 13 Co-Op Student Placement, she worked with the Hamilton Arts Council as our Arts Outreach Assistant.
During my time at my Co-op placement I learned the importance of communication not only through speech but through text and visuals. In an age where we are at our peak of communication technology, it feels like nobody is listening. This where the role of the Artist comes in a play.
As artists we aim to be multilingual to convey messages to our audiences or transcend feelings of emotions through the cognitive walls of our mind. Consequently, our audiences love it because we feel as though someone is listening. It is always satisfying to hear someone articulate the feeling you couldn't describe.
Additionally, we have ways of getting our voices out there from the safety of our own handheld "verbal bullet" proof screens. Yet with all these really important conversations going on, especially about the future of Hamilton and the artists residing here, there is something missing. I would check the lost and found box at your local high school if I were you; because you keep forgetting the 14-19 year olds who have no idea what's going to hit them in the next eight years.
To be fair not many of us have the clairvoyant ability to even predict what will happen in the next hour, but these kids are too big to sit at the kiddy table. You could argue that if they really wanted to know they will do research. But how do you know what questions to ask if you don't even know what you're looking for?
This thought came up during the Microfunding meeting held by the Hamilton Arts Council to begin the process of creating a microgrant for the artists in Hamilton. Before that meeting, I didn't think much of grants let alone know what they really entail. During that meeting, I realized how important they are and that I will most likely end up in a position where I will have to apply for grants. Actually a lot of us will end up in that situation. But how will we know how to deal with it if we don't even know that's something we are going to end up dealing with? I'm not trying to make this easier for us. But if you're trying to change the future, you should include the future.
It would be extremely beneficial if the local arts community reached out to the schools. The school board wouldn't really be ideal to teach this kind of stuff especially since the arts is usually the most ignored department in a school system. In the same way, you need to make it known that these adolescents are welcome to the conversation, and that these conversations are happening.
It can be as simple as making a poster and hanging it in a guidance office. Following this further, don't exclude voices because they don't have experience, include them so they can develop an experience. Communication isn't just one way or the other. It is multidirectional.

Jeff Gorell Banks to the Right at Sun Air Jet Fundraiser Fueled by Koch Money
Camarillo—Today, Congressman Greg Walden, Chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee, was at Sun Air Jets in Camarillo to raise special interest money for Jeff Gorell—a former oil lobbyist and the current Republican candidate for California's 26th Congressional District.
Rep. Greg Walden (R-OR) has voted in favor of cutting Medicare, banning gay marriage, and ending healthcare for pregnant women and children. Yet, Jeff Gorell believes that Walden is "one of the most interesting members in Congress" and is rolling out the red carpet for Walden and the special interest donors his support will bring to Ventura County.
"Jeff Gorell is not who he says he is. This fundraiser shows Jeff's true colors and makes it clear he will continue to side with special interests over Ventura County women and middle class families—just like he did as a former lobbyist for Big Oil," said Jacob Dusseau, campaign manager for Julia Brownley for Congress.
This major fundraising event was promoted, hosted, and organized for Jeff Gorell by the California leadership of Americans for Prosperity—a radical right wing organization founded and backed by oil billionaires the Koch Brothers.
Today's event in Camarillo confirms Jeff Gorell will be another lockstep vote in Congress for the Tea Party's anti-woman, anti-working family agenda, at the cost of Ventura County voters.
"While Jeff Gorell has tried to hide his record from Ventura County voters on the campaign trail, he is a former oil lobbyist who has wasted no time aligning himself with the Koch Brothers' right wing agenda that puts oil billionaires ahead of working families," concluded Dusseau.
Fundraiser Invitation: http://venturacountyteaparty.ning.com/events/lunch-event-to-support-jeff-gorell-for-congress
Jeff Gorell ?worked for a lobbying Group that represented Big Oil, Gas, and Tobacco. Between 1996 and 1999, Gorell served as Communications Director for the then-California Manufacturers Association (CMA), "advocate[ing] for job-growth legislation in the areas of taxes, regulations, workers compensation, tort reform, and trade law." According to the CMA (now-CMTA) website, CMA currently represents hundreds of companies, including Chevron, ExxonMobil Corporation, Altria, and BP America, Inc.

In 2011 and 2012, Walden voted for the Ryan budgets that would end Medicare. In 2011, the bill passed 235-193. [H Con Res 34, Vote #277, 4/15/11]. In 2012, the bill passed 228-191. [H Con Res 112, Vote #151, 3/29/12]
In 2004 and 2006, Walden voted for a joint resolution to propose a constitutional amendment that would define marriage as consisting only of the union of a man and a woman. In 2004, the resolution passed 227 – 186. [H.J.R. 106, Vote #484, 9/30/04]. In 2006, the resolution passed 236 – 187. [H.J.R. 88, Vote #378, 7/18/06]
In 2009, Walden voted against a bill that would reauthorize the State Children's Health Insurance Program. The legislation passed 289 – 139 [HR 2, Vote #16, 1/14/09]
