Afleet Alex Stud Halter Raffle
Drawing on Turning for Home Day
Read the Philadelphia Inquirer article "After 10 Years, Memories of Afleet Alex Abound":
[Afleet Alex's] place in horse racing lore was established at that year's Preakness. After another horse veered into his path, their heels clipped, and Afleet Alex dropped almost to his knees, his nose inches from the dirt, his jockey, Jeremy Rose, barely hanging on. It was a feat of athleticism for both horse and jockey. Instead of going down, Afleet Alex regained his footing and roared off to a 43/4-length victory. "He did something champions do," Rose said after the race.
"I've seen horses take bad steps in races and win," said Ritchey, the trainer. "I never saw horses stumble that much and come back on and win in a Grade I race like this. That's the first I've ever seen it." from : https://www.alexslemonade.org/afleet-alex-10-years-later
In honor of Afleet Alex's Preakness win and legacy, TFH will be hosting Alex's Lemonade Stand on TFH Day, June 22, 2021

There are plenty of reasons why you might be looking to increase your average income. You might be thinking about buying your first house or even getting ready to retire and settle down for your twilight years. Whatever the reason, the question then becomes, how do you do it? Well, you could go ask your boss for a pay raise right now, but that hardly ever works. So, your best bet is to find a way to make some extra cash outside of a regular job. But you also probably want something that will not take up a lot of your spare time. Luckily, there are some options available to you.
Property Investment
First, a disclaimer. Investing in property is not for everyone nor should it be. But, if you know your way around the retail market and you have got some funds saved, it might be the way to go. Particularly, since interest on savings is currently at an all-time low.
If you want to get started investing in property you have to think about who you are going to be catering to. Students are a nice safe bet because, no matter where you are situated, there will be students looking for accommodation. You also have the comfort of ensuring that they have a guarantor to pay for the property if they run low on funds. Your next question to answer is, is it the right time to invest in property. The market goes up and down, often several times a year, so the only way you are going to know this by doing some research. If you buy right now you will see properties are at a reasonable price, but not an all time low. One final piece of advice on property investment is to make sure you realise you will become a landlord and what that job entails.
2) Money Trading
Of course, if you want a safer option that will take up less of your time, you could try money trading online. You will need to use a broker to get you started with the necessary software and expertise. Research a company like ACM Forex Trading. Forex trading is the trade of different currencies and basically predicting when a currency is going to become more or less valuable. It is not as complex as it sounds, and once you get the hang of it, you can make a decent amount of profit. Our only recommendation would be to not play with big amounts of money, until you have built up some experience and confidence.
3) Profit Off A Skill
We all have our own particular, special forte and you just have to pinpoint yours. Whether it is cooking, crafts, or speaking to an audience we can not think of a skill that can't be turned into a profit maker. But let's take cooking as an example. If you are constantly getting compliments about your culinary skills, try selling some of your baked goods at local events. This is how you get noticed and build up some contacts. Or, you could post your own cooking channel on a site like YouTube. If you reach the point where your videos become popular you can make a decent amount of money.
Any one of these concepts will put more money in your hands so what are you waiting for? Start researching now.

BOSTON, Massachusetts – According to the Better Business Bureau (BBB), a new email is getting common among people which notifies about a recent iTunes purchase and it is linked to your Apple ID.
You have read the email but don't remember about the purchase? That's because you maybe didn't even make that purchase, but it's okay, in the email, it's saying that there are instructions on how to cancel the order if it's not yours. And what are the instructions? Of course! Opening the attached file.
The first thing you do is to click "yes" or "open," because you don't give a second thought about what purchase is this or when I did that I don't remember. However, keep in mind that in every situation like that you need and must give a second thought and think, "Wait a minute, what action is this?"
Signs of the Apple ID Scam
In this kind of emails, there are always signs leading to a scam.
Pay attention to the format. It doesn't even have your name on it, and it's not something to be shocked about. It is a sign of a scam.
Also, the next thing is paying attention to the grammar and word spelling, in case of some errors, they also can be a sign of a scam.
One of the most important ones to pay attention to is, "Open the Attached File" phrase, it is a major red flag for a legit email.
Never believe that!
There are different ways to do phishing nowadays, and you can't just check them daily to be true they are legit because some of the scammers have all the needed ways to take other companies' logos and everything.
So, in this case, Apple offers some ways to avoid the scamming. A legit purchase from the actual company will include a link which will lead to the actual website and not to an unknown website filled with unknown content.
Never do anything with that kind of fake websites, do your purchases or any other personal or financial info update on the actual website of the company.
Calling the company can be a rescue if you are not sure if it's an actual email or not.
Be careful and take care of your data!

Article by Lauren Rosewarne /
The Conversation /
July 1, 2016 /
Culturally most of us know that it's inappropriate to talk about a person's weight gain. While apparently the tabloids, gossip magazines and gutter websites missed that memo – and regularly run their pasta belly pregnancy / "beach shame" stories – most legitimate news purveyors know better. Know that there are far less tacky ways to make women hate themselves. Best go surreptitious rather than direct insult. Best plant the seeds of self-scrutiny than deploy a cheap fatty boomba slur.
But what about weight loss? What role does the news have in covering the shedding of kilos?
Gina Rinehart.
The Daily Telegraph, The Sydney Morning Herald and the Australian Financial Review each published stories this week about Rinehart's "dramatic" weight loss.
If body weight is understood as a sensitive, no-go topic when it's gained, why is there an attitudinal shift when it's lost? Rinehart didn't join some ritualised-humiliation television contest to lose weight nor did she enlist a camera crew to follow her around to chart her "journey", so why is her body now fair game? What makes weight loss a more politically okay topic for newspaper attention than weight gain?
Rinehart's status as a public figure partly explains this. While being a captain of industry might have absolutely nothing to do with her waistline, nonetheless, for the same pervy reasons that we're interested in the lives of soap stars and athletes, Rinehart fills the brief of being a public identity. And just as the media covers her family's feudin', her body apparently is an extension of all things Rinehart-relevant.
The coverage of her weight loss however, has other more troubling elements to it.
Losing weight is in line with the shallow expectations of our culture. In a fat-loathing society, Gina's weight loss is a signifer of her having learnt the error of her ways and physically repented. To better herself. We don't assume that she might have lost weight through sickness. God no. In this culture of perpetual self-improvement, we assume that she's chosen this. Afterall what fat woman wouldn't want to do her best to sate the standards of a vicious public? In turn, she's become fair game because she's obeyed society's dictums of turning her transgressive body into something palatable.
There is of course, a very obvious gender element here. To date, Rinehart's weight has largely remained untouched by the press. Part of this is about common decency, about political correctness, but a bigger part centres on fat as dehumanising. Our culture hates fat. We treat it as grotesque, as a sign of overindulgence, as testimony to laziness. And given that the only conversation we can ever have about fat centres on criticism, scorn or, at best, cheer-leading for reform, we mostly keep quiet.
Past tense fat however, is ripe for commentary. By slimming down to more acceptable standards, Gina is now human, is now woman and thus, according to the way society treats women, her body has become public property.
Women's bodies have always been subjected to different and greater scrutiny than men's. Sure, stories also run about James Packer's weight loss. And indeed, many men like Clive Palmer and Chris Christie will find themselves at the centre of weight centre barbs and exaggerated cartoons.
Men however, aren't judged primarily on their appearance. They aren't appraised on the degree to which we could imagine fucking them. No, they don't escape the tyranny of our culture's ever-stricter mandates on appearance, but nonetheless they're allowed to become famous for other things. To become famous in spite of their weight.
Men can – and do – make it in business and politics and the media by giving the finger to society's expectations of attractiveness. Funniness and savvy, charisma and policy acumen are all qualities that can earn men fame and respect. A man can be smart, can be sage, can be sassy and can also be fat. And sure, he might get ribbed for it, but ultimately his weight will only ever be just one aspect of his identity. It doesn't sabotage him with the same frequency as it does women.
It's effortless to draft an exhaustive list of fat women who've made it in the public eye. Now pause for a moment and strike-off each one who has succumbed to the imperative to evolve over time (read: reduce) to stay famous. For men, weight makes only a small impact on success; for women weight invariably completely halts the recognition of their other qualities.
Talking about appearance – notably of someone whose work has absolutely nothing to do with how hot we find them – is hideous. But worse than this, it's depressingly low-hanging fruit and dilutes criticism of the stuff that actually matters. If we're talking about Rinehart's weight then we're not talking about her calls to cut minimum wage. Or her unsolicited advice to poorer Australians to cut down on smoking and drinking. Or her promotion of climate skepticism. Things that actually are in the public interest and are the real reasons her name should appear in our newspapers.
Gina Rinehart's weight is not our business. To pretend that loss of weight makes a body-scrutiny story more acceptable is delusional, is indicative of the continued policing of women's bodies and is proof of the rarely subtle sexism which all women in the public eye are subjected to.

Do You Want to Buy ATV For Your Use?
As far as the power sports segment is concerned, often there is confusion as to which one to buy because you have several options. ATV (All-terrain vehicles) are also considered as UTV (Utility Terrain Vehicle).
However, the ATV is usually designed to travel on 4 low-pressure or non-pneumatic tires, and its seat is designed to be connected by the operator and handlebars to steer the control. They will be quite different from UTVs, which are more task-oriented.
If you are looking for the cheapest way to ship a ATV you must get in touch with the representative of Ship A Car, Inc.
ATVs, come in several forms. A few of them are designed for work, while a few others are geared towards play. Any ATV can accommodate 1 to 4 people depending on your vehicle. The following are a few of the different types of ATVs.
- Sport ATVs
For those who are thrill seekers, sport ATVs will be the right choice. They are built for sliding, speeding, and swerving, and you are guaranteed that you will feel the wind on your face. These ATVs will be stacked with long-travel suspension, powerful engines, and excellent handling.
- Side-by-side ATVs
Due to the availability of 2 front seats, and often 2 back seats, such ATVs are called side-by-sides. They have a steering wheel instead of handlebars, seat belts, foot pedals, and a roll bar. You as well as your passengers can sit inside the vehicle, almost like a car.
- Utility ATVs
Usually, the utility ATVs engines are quite powerful to travel on a different terrain, but not as much powerful as any sport ATV. They are primarily meant for heavy-work purpose, almost like hauling cargo or plowing fields or even snow. They may not also be as fast as other sport ATVs, but can easily accommodate 2 people comfortably and also can have better ground clearance.
- Youth ATVs
Youth ATVs are usually tailored to the size of your children and their level of experience. A 4-year kid can start with electric starts and with automatic clutches to teach them about different gears and how they can shift through them.
ATV pros and cons
- Plenty of models and brands available to choose from
- Both youth and adult models can be made available
- Available at affordable prices than similar types of any other power sport vehicles, e.g., UTVs
- Good for solo users
- Good for your recreation or any light-duty utility e.g., hauling or towing
- It is lots of fun to ride on these ATVs
- Fewer features as compared to UTVs
- Less safe as compared to UTVs, with fewer safety features built-in
- Fewer options for customization/modification
- Cannot ride along with a passenger side-by-side
- ATVs may not be very suitable for heavy-duty work.
For any new ATV riders, safety should be their top priority. Look for 600-cc engines or something even smaller. Then, you must consider how you want to use your new ATV and ensure that you are looking at models that are suitable for the type of terrain that you plan to ride on.

Helena improves to 4-0 with two more wins
Published 3:30 pm Monday, February 22, 2021
By ALEC ETHEREDGE | Managing Editor
HOOVER – The Helena baseball team continued a dominant start to the 2021 season with two wins on Saturday, Feb. 20 at Spain park High School.
Taking on two 7A classification teams Tuscaloosa County and Huntsville, the Huskies racked up a combined 27 runs to win both games and improve to 4-0 early in the season.
Helena took down Tuscaloosa County 12-2 and Huntsville 15-2 and has now outscored opponents 36-7 through four games.
In the first of the two games, the Huskies scored six runs in the bottom of the first to kick off the game and scored nine before Tuscaloosa County even got on the board.
Helena's six-run first inning was boosted by a leadoff single from Brody Moss and an RBI double from Landon Leake to put a run on the board through the first two batters.
Following a walk from McGwire Turner and an error, Helena brought home its second run of the inning before the first out was recorded. Ryan Storey followed the out with an RBI single.
Following a walk, the Huskies added their final three runs of the inning on a fielder's choice that ended with a run and back-to-back RBI singles from Noah Gwin and Moss.
Helena added to its lead in the bottom of the third after Storey, Griff Minor and Jack Freeman all three reached base to start the inning with either a single or a walk.
Gwin capitalized with an RBI single to make it 7-0. The Wildcats, however, got a big double play during the next at bat to help limit the damage in the inning, but the Huskies weren't done yet.
Leake stepped to the plate and singled to left field to drive home two more runs and put Helena in front 9-0 through three innings.
Tuscaloosa County added one run in the fourth and one in the fifth to cut the deficit to seven runs, but that's as close as the Wildcats got.
Helena scored one more in the fifth inning, and then completed the 10-run rule win in the bottom of the sixth with an RBI triple from Minor and an RBI double from Connor Martin.
The Huskies were led by Leake at the Plate thanks to a 2-for-4 performance featuring three RBIs, while Gwin added two hits and two RBIs. Storey and Minor each added two hits and one RBI. Moss added three hits and had one RBI with two runs scored.
Jacob Peters got the start on the mound and totaled three innings allowing two hits and no runs with two strikeouts. Preston Daugherty pitched one inning and added two strikeouts, while Colby Thacker finished off the game and struck out one while allowing no hits.
In the second game against Huntsville, Helena got off to even more dominant of a start thanks to 11 runs through the first two innings and 15 for the game.
Helena got off to a strong start by taking advantage of four walks in the top of the first. That, along with two singles, helped the Huskies score four runs in the first inning.
The top of the second saw the Huskies use their bats a bit more. A leadoff triple from Moss was a sign of what was to come in the frame, as he scored two batters later on an error.
Following back-to-back walks, Storey had an RBI single, while Minor and Brock Sisson had back-to-back RBI doubles to drive home a combined five runs through three batters.
A wild pitch allowed the 11th run to cross the plate later in the inning.
Helena made it 12-0 in the top of the fourth with a leadoff double from Martin, which was followed by an RBI single from Storey. Moss then made it 13-0 with a two-out RBI single later in the frame.
The Huskies capped the scoring with a two-RBI single from Connor Gibbs in the top of the fifth to complete an impressive 15-2 outing.
Moss, Martin, Storey and Minor all finished with two hits in the win with Storye and Minor posting three RBIs. Moss added an RBI, while Turner and Gibbs each had one hit with two RBIs.
Freeman got the start on the mound and allowed two hits and one run with five strikeouts. Mitchell Rhodes closed the final inning by allowing two hits and one run with one strikeout.

I play as a Monk, and I have two pocket Wizards to kill things for me. Or put another way, my two Wizard friends have a pocket Monk, to keep mobs away from them and apply juicy damage debuffs.
Anyway, we were wondering, do all the Monk's damage-boosting debuffs stack? Specifically:
- Crippling Wave with Breaking Wave: +10% damage to mobs I hit
- Inner Sanctuary with Forbidden Palace: +30% damage to mobs in the sanctuary
- Mantra of Conviction with Overawe: +16% damage to mobs around me
Do all these abilities work together, so that mobs could be taking an extra 56% damage?

PORTSMOUTH — The Portsmouth Patriots played 47 minutes and 12 seconds of near-flawless, shutout defense during their bid for a Division II Super Bowl title against St. Raphael Academy at Cranston Stadium on Saturday.
Which makes the final result — a 7-3 Saints win thanks to a touchdown pass with just 38 seconds left in the game — such a bitter pill to swallow.
"It's a little bit gut-wrenching, this one, because you're feeling pretty good all the way up until the last drive," Portsmouth head coach Dustin Almeida said after the game. "But you've got to give (St. Ray's) credit. They made more plays at the end."
After a scoreless first half, the Patriots went ahead 3-0 on George Smith's 22-yard field goal with 1:20 left in the third quarter.
That drive had started at the Patriots' own 46, and featured several good runs by Adam Conheeney, including a 17-yard scramble and then a nine-yard gain on fourth-and-1 to give the Patriots a first down. Quarterback Neal Tullson also kept the ball for a 16-yard run to the 7-yard line.
Later, in the fourth quarter, a spectacular interception by the Patriots' Tyler Hurd gave Portsmouth a short field with a good chance to ice the game. It came just after St. Raphael's Moses Meus caught a 23-yard pass to put the Saints at Portsmouth's 48-yard line.
St. Ray's attempted another pass, but Hurd tipped the ball and, after juggling it a few times, kept possession and ran it to the Patriots' own 35-yard line. Despite the incredible play, however, Portsmouth couldn't capitalize and punted after going three and out.
During the next Saints' possession, Meus seemingly fumbled the ball on third down, and Evan Tullson jumped on it at the Patriots' 45. Portsmouth players started celebrating a turnover, but the referees ruled that Meus still had possession of the ball when he hit the ground and awarded the Saints a first down.
No matter, Portsmouth's smothering defense prevented the Saints from converting on fourth-and-two, and the Patriots took over on downs. Portsmouth's drive didn't go anywhere, however, and Smith had to punt.
Unfortunately, the ball went off the side of his foot as he booted it into the wind, and went out of bounds to the right, setting up St. Ray's at the Portsmouth 43-yard line.
Benefiting from the short field, the Saints staged an impressive drive featuring catches by Ethan McCann-Carter and runs by Aaron Julius. McCann-Carter ended up catching the seven-yard TD pass from quarterback Dan Wulf.
After getting the ball back, Patriots' quarterback Tom Hurd's arm was hit by a Saints defender and his wobbly pass was intercepted by Meus. Wulf took a knee to end the game.
Despite the gut-wrenching loss, Almeida said his defense turned in an excellent performance, while also tipping his hat to the Saints.
"They took advantage of the situation. It came down to us having to pitch a shutout. They scored within the last minute. The defense was awesome today against a really talented group of kids. They kept scrapping, kept making plays and they caused turnovers. The guys played hard; I'm proud of them. I thought they were excellent the whole game."
Almeida said he didn't expect a high-scoring game with the two defenses on the field. "I just thought we were going to have more points than this," he said.
Getting to the championship game was a feat itself for the Patriots, who sustained several key injuries this season and got off to a poor 1-3 start.
"It's just the group of kids that we have that kept us going," Almeida said. "When you get guys like that — really good kids, really good families and the support that you have from the community — it feels good when you have that stuff in place and you have all the people behind you even when things are bad. It's not insurmountable. That's what we do. We're a family."
The Patriots finished the game with 172 yards of offense, all on the ground. St. Ray's had 175 yards of offense, 62 of them through the air.
Turkey game against Middletown
Portsmouth will host Middletown for the annual Thanksgiving Day game at 10 a.m. this Thursday. The Islanders played in the Division III Super Bowl in Cranston immediately after Portsmouth, but they also lost, 13-7 to Moses Brown.
Almeida said he has high hopes for the Patriots next season.
"We have a lot of seniors, but we have a lot of really talented underclassmen," he said. "We have a really talented junior class, although not great numbers in the junior class. But, the sophomore and freshmen class are not only talented, but they're big. I think the program is in good standing for quite some time."

Tex Wheeler, a newcomer to Home And Away, has quickly won over the hearts of viewers.
Lucas Linehan's portrayal of the role brought him to Summer Bay earlier this year after he answered a job posting at the Diner.
Fans of the Channel 5 soap opera believe Tex's charm may be a facade and that he is hiding something.
And it appears like the plot will continue to develop in forthcoming episodes.
In one episode of Down Under, Tex can be seen working out in the gym and sneaking a peek around the office.
He appears to focus his attention on a photograph of Mia (Anna May Samson) and the recently deceased Ari Parata (Rob Kipa Williams) for no apparent reason.
One individual identifies Tex as the "sergeant in arms" when he arrives in another scene inside a warehouse packed of leather-clad bikers.
Uncertain of what will happen next, viewers are worried that Summer Bay residents may be in danger.
Tex has been getting close to Rose (Kirsty Marillier), and their relationship appears to be flourishing.
Due to the fact that Rose is a policewoman, some supporters are wary.
A tweet stated: "Is he merely a supporter of the attire? Or does he have an other agenda?"
A different supporter wrote on Twitter that "becoming cosy with the neighbourhood cop is his way of making sure he is well-connected and informed before things turn nasty."
The audience is certain it has to do with the Paratas.
Some believe Tex isn't as interested in Rose as he seems to be.
Everyone is certain that Tex is a member of the gang.
Additionally, it appears that the motorcyclists are searching for cash related to a heist that Ari may have committed.
A follower tweeted: "I think I know who this awful Tex guy is. He almost certainly has something to do with what the Paratas, Mia, or Chloe have done."
Even Chloe's (Sam Barrett) forthcoming leaving storyline may be connected to Tex's role, according to speculation.
Concerns about Rose
Tex made reference to Rose when he told the group that he had the neighbourhood cop on his side.
People worry that she might get into trouble as a result.
Rose is playing with fire, a Facebook user warned.
They continued: "If he doesn't tell her, he will lose her since he will assist them in recovering their lost funds. The warning Xavier is giving her is sound; Rose hardly knows him."
Some believe Tex might possibly be a murderer.
Tex "had problems written all over him," according to a tweet.
"Anyone who is that evasive about his past and what he does is a criminal," they further stated.
Another worried viewer remarked, "Tex is a serial killer isn't he or a criminal," adding, "I didn't like the way he stared at Tane."
One more added, "Tex looks like a bad'un."

When you are applying for a research scholarship or grant, you will in most cases be asked to write a research proposal that provides details of the study that you intent to carry out as well as a summary of findings of other researches that have been carried out on the same subject that you are planning to explore. If you are to write a research proposal that will secure you that scholarship or grant, then you must know what a research proposal is and all the requirements that should be included in your research proposal to turn it into a great paper. That is why you need ideas for writing an effective research proposal.
When assigning research proposals, the instructors usually want to use this assignment to find out if the students have done some preliminary research or reading in the area that they are interested in or to find out if the students that given some thought to the issues involved and if they are capable of writing more than a description of the topic that they are interested in. From this expectation, it is clear that a student has to be ready to do some in-depth research in order to demonstrate to the lecturer that their thoughts are actually valid. Continue reading

Methyl 2-nonenoate appeared on flavorists' shelves first and was a vast improvement on the traditional methyl 2-octynoate and methyl 2-nonynoate, giving a much more natural effect in flavors. Methyl 3-nonenoate arrived quite a few years later. At first glance, both chemicals had a similar dominant melon green note, but, in practical use, they displayed significant differences.
Note that the dose rates given throughout this article are the levels suggested for use in flavors intended to be dosed at 0.05% in ready-to-drink beverages or in a simple bouillon.
Methyl 2-nonenoate
Methyl 2-nonenoate, also known as Neofolione [a Givaudan trade name] (FEMA# 2725, CAS# 111-79-5), is a highly attractive green note with a distinct but soft melon profile. It can be used to advantage in a wide range of fruit flavors, nicely offsetting the more obvious green notes.

Customer Opinions
We've received lovely feedback from our customers this year:
"Good selection of cakes"
We called in here for a coffee and a cake after looking in a few neighbouring cafes. This seemed to have the best cake selection for us. We ordered a bakewell slice and an apple pie and custard with a pot of tea and a coffee. The service was friendly and good. The bakewell slice was delicious and large and my husband enjoyed the apple pie. I was pleased to see the pot of tea also came with a pot of hot water so had 3 cups of tea and still left some in the pot! My husband also had a pot of water with his coffee and he was happy to water down his coffee to get extra cups. We sat by the window and looked at the castle. There is also a gift shop attached to the cafe which we looked round. We didn't try any of the other food but would be happy to recommend for a cake break.
Visited October 2015
"Good little café and shop"
A nice place to stop for coffee and cakes, staff very friendly and café clean.
The shop part is well stocked with clothing and pottery, a few souvenir items also available.
Well worth a visit and near the castle too.
Visited October 2015
"Second visit, just as good."
We visited again for the second time whilst shopping in Caernarfon. We live locally. For just £10.00, we enjoyed a pot of tea for 2 - which came with an extra teabag and hot water and gave us 5 cups of nice quality tea; along with two sandwiches generously filled, on brown bread, cheese tomato and onion, which came with a fresh and tasty side salad, a small dish of ridge crisps and tasty dressings, honey & mustard and Caesar, sea salt and ground black pepper mills. We sat on the comfy leather sofas where we could watch TV if we wished but chose to catch up with the local newspapers.
Service friendly and efficient, we enjoyed our second lunch with you and highly recommend this to anyone in Caernarfon.
Visited April 2015.
My husband and I live locally, therefore we pop in to Gray-Thomas quite often for a coffee and scone or lemon meringue. It really is comfy here (if you manage to time it just right and get the lovely armchairs in the window!), and you would be hard put to find another Café anywhere with such a magnificent view of a 12th century castle - literally on the doorstep. At busy times, the service can be a bit slow, but so what? Sit back, relax, and enjoy the view with your choice of excellent coffee and cake.
Diolch i bawb ohonoch - a phob lwc.
Visited April 2015
"On a bitterly cold Saturday in February we were looking for somewhere to warm up after exploring part of Caernarfon castle. Just opposite the main gatehouse is Gray-Thomas gift shop, which has a café on the side looking warm, friendly and inviting.
It didn't disappoint. Hot chocolate was hot, thick, creamy and chocolatey. That doesn't sound like much to ask but trust me, it's not what you tend to get! The Grand Milano Italian Cappucino was excellent, and I'm glad I asked for a double shot because it was hot, strong and delicious, just what a proper coffee should be.
Cakes, where should we start? Bara Brith, awesome! Carrot cake, heavenly! Lemon meringue, delicious! Diet, what diet?
Credit to the staff, service was quick, efficient and cheerful.
The only small negative point is the single toilet which developed a queue.
Thank you for making one South Wales couple very happy!"
Visited February 2015
"Great value and quality afternoon tea served by lovely people"
We popped into this restaurant for a late lunch but decided on the high tea for two which was £15.00. We had a choice of sandwiches, we chose roast beef which was really nice, then there was a scone each with jam and cream, a Welsh cake, a piece of fruit cake each and after we finished that lot the lady came out with a lovely piece of cheesecake each served with cream.
This was accompanied with limitless high quality tea.
Luckily we were not eating dinner until late that evening. When you think that you pay £3.00 for a sandwich from a supermarket this tea was great value for money at £7.50 each.
Visited September 2014
"Great Local Gift Store, Lovely Coffee Shop."
Gray-Thomas stocks some excellent gift items and supports local Artists, including our very own Josie Russell (Google this exceptional young Lady)
They have recently opened a Coffee Shop. I thought, not another one (we have quite a lot) but to be fair it is quite good. Give them a try, you will really enjoy your visit.
Visited July 2014
"Super Café!"
Friendly staff, reasonably priced so great value for money, fresh and generously filled sandwiches, delicious cakes, tasty hot coffee and right opposite the castle gateway with pleasant views from every table. Sofas if you want to relax. This will be a regular lunch place for us in future. Good luck to this fairly new venture in an old established local business.
Visited August 2014
"Great food, great service which went the extra mile"
This is a fairly new café set up in a Gift Shop in Caernarvon which we visited on an extremely hot day in June 2014. There was only one other couple in the café at the time, so the service was quick, efficient and friendly, in spite of the waitress obviously feeling the heat behind the counter. The pot of tea and refreshments were excellent. The café was really clean and comfy, with a great view of Caernarvon castle and the square, where, when we went, there was music and a roundabout and stalls. Another very nice and welcome touch was another, male waiter, seeing we were hot sitting by the window, produced a fan, which had been working elsewhere in the café, and put it close to us, which was most welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit there.
Visited June 2015
Thank you all for your comments, looking forward to welcoming you back.

Many of us love our caffeine fix first thing in the morning. Whether it's black coffee, a vanilla latte, or your standard iced skinny hazelnut macchiato, extra shot, light ice, and no whip. But — you may have to push pause on your order for a few days after getting your tooth pulled. While it's a very common and simple dental procedure, you'll need to properly care for yourself and follow your dentist's instructions to heal. So, should you drink coffee after a tooth extraction? The answer is — no, you should not. You should help your mouth on its way to a quick recovery so you can quickly get through the drive-thru coffee line.
Can I Drink Coffee After A Tooth Extraction?
Medically Reviewed By Colgate Global Scientific Communications
How To Reduce Risk of Complications
When you hear the term "blood clot," it may not conjure up any pleasant thoughts. But they are necessary and help the healing after tooth extraction. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, when a blood clot doesn't develop before your wound heals as it should, a dry socket occurs. This can lead to considerable pain, discomfort, and a bad taste in your mouth. Drinking coffee increases the risk of a dry socket. Therefore, it's smart to turn off the coffee maker for a few days.
What to Eat and Drink After Tooth Removal
What your body consumers post-procedure influences the effectiveness and length of your recovery. So following your dentist's recommendation is vital. The University of Utah has created instructions for your entire week following the extraction. It features recommendations, tips, and what to expect, like plenty of water and a small meal upon arriving home. Soft and bland foods (eggs, mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, etc.) are always smart. It's also wise to continue to hydrate over the next few days, but not with hot beverages like coffee.
When Is It Safe to Drink Coffee?
Assuming your healing and recovery process is going swimmingly, you'll want to wait at least 5 days to reintroduce coffee back into your diet, says the University of Utah. But slowly and in small amounts. Within 2 weeks, your swelling should be minimal, and your cup of joe intake can return to its normal consumption level. Contact your dentist if you have any questions or if anything feels off.
How to Promote Healing
Diet is one key element in your healing. There are many other things you should do to make your recovery as smooth as possible. You should:
- Be smart and stay away from anything that could prevent healing
- Avoid tobacco, alcohol, and vigorous rinsing
- Don't use a straw for 24 hours
- Gently rinse with warm salt water after 24 hours
- Apply a cold cloth or an ice bag for swelling
- Brush and floss regularly but avoid the extraction area
- Take any medications (if prescribed) as directed
So now you know if you should drink coffee after tooth extraction. And you know when you should drink coffee after tooth extraction. The key is allowing and helping your mouth to heal so you can drink coffee again. It just requires a little patience — and then you can return to your regular caramel latte, 3-pump, skim milk, lite water, no foam, extra hot drinking habits.

Cuisipro Stainless Steel Egg Poacher
You tread lightly in the kitchen, and lean on an arsenal of tools to help you prepare meals. Unadorned, practical items fill your kitchen shelves, there to help get the job done.
Shop Cook LevelThere are about as many theories on how to poach an egg as there are ways to cook them, but none of them have quite the desired effect. Thankfully, we've discovered these little stainless steel egg poachers. They allow us to bring the water to simmer in a pan, then using the hook, slide the poacher into the simmering water. We then crack an egg into the waiting stainless cup. The holes in the poacher allow the hot water to gently circulate around the egg, while keeping the egg itself intact without all of those little feathery whites that need trimming. These poachers are like little egg hot tubs, and create the perfect poached egg for your arugula salad or breakfast benedict.
Product Highlights:
- 2 egg poachers per set
- 18/10 Stainless steel cups and rods
- BPA Free plastic handle and cup
- Drain holes to allow water to flow over egg and to drain excess water when finished
- Dishwasher safe, top shelf

After the announcement done in 2015, granting Koiranen GP with the new F4 Spanish Championship certified by FIA, the 2016 Guidelines are now available onwww.f4spain.com.
The series will take its teams and drivers on all the major circuits of the Iberian peninsula, starting from Navarra in May, to Motorland in June, Estoril in July, Jerez and Valencia in September, Barcelona and Jarama closing the 2016 season in October.
"With an entry fee of €15.000 per car, including 8 events, 6 official test days and additional services, we have been doing everything we could to keep an affordable price and welcome as many teams and drivers as possible. The fact that we are using the same Tatuus/Abarth car as other FIA F4 series, is enabling foreign teams who are already entering other F4s, to maximize the use of their existing equipment. We can't wait to start the season, and see how will be the audience response to this new fantastic event", commented Alexandra Consani.
After the SMP F4 NEZ Championship certified by FIA, Koiranen GP is going to provide to the motorsport world with another show, keeping up with sharing their knowledge of bringing young drivers to the top.

6 Good Electronic and Technology Gift Ideas for Christmas 2018
If you're searching for that perfect technology gift that hits a home run with the gadget lover in your family, then hopefully I can help. I regularly stay up-to-date by reading reports or going to conventions where new inventions and technologies are showcased.
With that being said there's only a handful of all the items I see at these conventions that are really, in my opinion, worth showcasing. Here's my short list of 6 game gadgets that just about everyone should own in 2018.
1. The New Google Chromecast
When I think of devices that I use every day one that comes to mind is the Google Chromecast. This device allows you to stream video from your tablet, laptop, or smartphone on to your TV. In order to Function it connects to the same Wi-Fi network that your portable device is using.
Current Support for the Chromecast:
Right now it supports Hulu, Pandora, MLB.TV, Watch ESPN, Netflix, HBO Now, YouTube, SHO Anytime, and a plethora of other apps. It continues to be updated with more features and support for more applications. If there is a strike against it it's that it has no native Amazon Instant video, no remote control, and it doesn't support very many games.
New Chromecast vs Old Chromecast
One of the biggest changes with the new Chromecast is that it supports 5GHz connections. This is great news for those wishing for a short but powerful connection. That means less lag for everyone.
The look of the new Chromecast is different as well featuring a hockey puck-like design with an HDMI cable that basically fits anywhere. This makes it a lot more flexible for different types of TVs.
How it's powered:
If you have HDMI v1.4 or higher, then it simply plugs into that HDMI port. For those who don't have HDMI V1.4 the Chromecast is powered by a USB connection.
Final Thoughts:
It's obvious that this device continues to be a great addition to many people's TVs with over 1.5 billion sold. That being said we're sure to see huge updates in the future and even with the support it has currently it's a great compliment to any TV. For $35 it's a perfect mid-range gift.
2. Fitbit Flex
Whether you're a fitness fanatic, trying to lose weight, or just want to manage your calories the Fitbit Flex will appeal to many.
This little device keeps track of steps, distance, calories burned and active minutes and displays LED lights throughout the day to show you how you're doing. One light lit means that you've reached about 20% of the goal you've set for the day on your customizable daily dashboard. At night it keeps track of how well you sleep.
Wireless Sync:
The fit syncs to select Bluetooth 4.0 devices without doing any work. This includes support for Android and iOS devices.
Final Thoughts:
This device still isn't perfect and may not be a perfect replacement for the Fitbit One. That being said what really turns me on to it is just how small it is. Its really a lot less invasive than a watch and still maintains a lot of really cool features that I enjoy. Overall it's a bit pricey, but will be well worth the cost for some.
3. New Tablets and Cell Phones for 2018
I think there will come a point in time when I feel that one year's cell phones and tablets don't feel significantly better than the previous years. I certainly haven't reached that point yet as some of this year's portable devices seem like a must-have upgrade for those who are on the go a lot.
This is especially true for *any devices which are able to incorporate Intel's new Haswell processors which provide a significant boost for both processing power and increase in battery life.
4. The Nest Learning Thermostat
Video Review of the Nest Learning Thermostat
In 2018 it's time to have a smarter thermostat to go along with all of our other devices. While you could program your thermostat to certain temperatures each day, there are just a few people who truly do so.
This is especially true when you consider how many people actually pause to adjust their thermostat each time they leave the house.
With this thermostat it keeps track of your habits, learns, and then eventually reacts to how you would during the day.
It syncs to your Wi-Fi so you can control it from your portable device. That way you easily adjust it form any room in your house.
Nest Saves You Money While You're Away:
In addition, it has a Auto-Away feature which saves you money by going to an energy-saving temperature while you're away.
Considering that up to half of your energy bill each month is controlled through your furnace or AC, it's quite an upgrade.
Final Thoughts:
Overall this is a great product that my wife and I have had a lot of success with this year. It's cut our energy bills and honestly looks great in place of the old thermostat.
5. Schlage Touchscreen Deadbolt
In addition to making your home smarter with the Nest thermostat you should also consider adding a great device like the Schlage touchscreen Deadbolt to your home. It makes it easier when trying to enter and can be connected to Nexia home intelligence for a monthly fee.
Unfortunately, Not Compatible with Z-wave:
While I personally like Schlage's new touchscreen deadbolt, some of you may prefer a Z-wave compatible touchscreen deadbolt. If that's the case, then I highly recommend the Yale YRD220-ZW-619. It's a but more pricey upfront, but you'll most likely be able to avoid any fees.
6. Epson Home Cinema 5040UBe 4k Projector
Home projectors have been around for a long time. That being said the picture quality you'd get for the money you'd spend, in my opinion, had been somewhat lacking until the last couple of years.
Some of the reason for this is that basic home projectors simply could not provide good dark-room images. In addition black colors had previously left much to be desired for the money I was looking to spend which was around $3,000.
Enter the Epson Home Cinema 5040UBe 4k Projector. With this projector you get most of the picture quality you get on higher-end models for a much more affordable price. In addition it produces a great dark room picture, something which ,as I mentioned, had been missing in the past.
Final Thoughts:
This is a game changer for any theatre room. Not only do you get the addition of 4k, you get ultra black levels, a bright picture in a variety of lighting, and a virtually silent operation. On the other hand, you could also go with an older 1080p model and save a lot of money. That being said, it's hard for me to not want to go with the newer resolution when it's available.
Overall there's a lot of great new technology and electronics that would make a great Christmas gift in 2018. Have something to add to this page? Feel free to use the open discussion area below.

The Milwaukee Bucks have lost three of their last five games, coinciding with the injury absence of franchise player Giannis Antetokounmpo.
It's questionable whether he'll play Monday night in Detroit, but the Bucks might not need him against a rebuilding Pistons team they have dominated in recent seasons.
Milwaukee has won 15 of the last 16 meetings, dating to the 2018-19 season. The Bucks already have swept the first two games of the four-game series this season, recording 110-108 and 116-91 home victories in a span of three nights during a season-opening nine-game winning streak.
Antetokounmpo averaged 31.5 points in those two early season contests. He's been sidelined recently due to left-knee soreness.
"There's still just things he's working on, I think body-wise, to get to that point where there's a big difference between practicing and playing a game," Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer said. "And I know I've said it pretty much every day — we continue to be confident and feel like this is kind of the things we've managed and dealt with for most of his career. So we'll just continue to take it day-by-day. He's getting good work in, good lifts."
Getting him back in the lineup certainly would be a lift. Jrue Holiday has shouldered a heavy load, leading the team in scoring in five of the last six games. He's averaging 27.2 points and 9.0 assists during that stretch.
Holiday had 28 points and 10 assists against Cleveland on Saturday night, but the Bucks lost 114-102. Milwaukee was unable to slow Cavs second-year forward Evan Mobley, who scored a career-best 38 points.
Milwaukee also committed 16 turnovers, leading to 21 Cleveland points.
"Jrue's just got the ball in his hands a ton," Budenholzer said. "We're asking a lot of him, putting him in a lot of stuff, but I think he can be better. And some of the other ones, I think we can clean up. The guys are trying and we have our stretches, we have our moments where it really hurts us, but it's just an area where we can improve."
The Pistons will play their first game since a trip to Paris, where they lost 126-108 to Chicago on Thursday. Detroit never led and trailed by as many as 22 points.
"There's been a lot of growth with a lot of our players," coach Dwane Casey said. "Now we've just got to understand when we face adversity how to kick the door down and not lose our edge, lose our confidence."
The Pistons have lost three straight and six of their last seven games. They have the worst record in the Eastern Conference.
The game in Paris was technically a Pistons home game, and they're in a stretch where they play 11 of 14 games as the hosts.
While franchise player Cade Cunningham is out for the season after undergoing shin surgery, the Pistons have gotten healthier over the past week. Jalen Duren, Isaiah Stewart, Isaiah Livers and Bojan Bogdanovic all played in France after missing one or more games due to injuries.
Bogdanovic has reached the 20-point mark in his last nine outings, including a team-high 25 against Chicago.

Life has a funny way of knocking us all down, making it seem impossible to get back up. Luckily, the human spirit is stronger than disaster, able to withstand things we thought we weren't capable of. For some of us, life marks its territory in our lives through physical scars. All with names. Dates. Places. Stories.
A constant reminder of what's happened to us through old, puckered skin.
Scars aren't pretty, no matter what anyone says. I should know, I have quite a few. Most from stories told to me, not ones I myself can tell. Scars lining my chest from operations, saving my life, but I don't remember those tales with my own eyes.
What I do remember is ridicule I received from them. Young girls and gym locker rooms can be a horrible place, full of anxiety and tears. Those days made more scars, both on the inside, and on the outside. I regret the ones on the outside. After so many years, I didn't magically love my scars, but I co-existed with them. They were telling stories too, and those stories made me. Instead of pride, I was reminded of the things that knocked me down, and I felt stronger because of them.
There are scars on my legs from where I horridly failed to ride a skateboard at twelve. Scars on my hands from stray kittens, when I was only trying to feed them. Scars on my hand from where I broke my pinky in two hauling wood with my Father. Scars with feelings attached.
The only scars life doesn't show to the world with constant reminders, are the internal ones. The scars I've chosen to show. The scars people actually admire, with interested faces asking, "What does that one mean?" The beautiful colors so carefully drawn, swirling symbols and objects. The deepest scar I chose to have being the crown on my ribs, blood splattered from its gold points, dripping down in pools.
Aethetically? It's hauntingly beautiful. The reminder is not. The memory attached is as gory as the blood, twisting me up inside. But we co-exist, that memory and I. I was eleven when my Mother was diagnosed with Bipolar/Depression. It got so bad she had to be hospitalized for a while. When she came back, I was overjoyed. Over the moon. So happy I could scream!
That feeling didn't last, the taunts came shortly after her return, directed at my Father and I with accusations that made my skin crawl. Names thrown at me that no child should ever hear, cutting deeper than knives. The one she favored most still sets my teeth on edge. Queen.
I can't even count how many nights I cried myself to sleep. I even wished she would go away again, and knowing I once thought that now sickens me. She was sick, not the names I called her in my head, just ill. Help came for her, normalcy returning in our lives. I would even go so far to say we're closer because of that hell of a summer.
I'm even grateful she barely remembers it, like a foggy dream, because I can't forget. I don't want to forget. I chose to embrace it, and the scar on my ribs isn't pretty.
It's made me strong, and it's the ugliest scar I have.

COVID-19 : The Cognac sector united and committed to its region
The Cognac sector has announced via a press release the collective production and distribution of a hydro-alcoholic solution for health professionals in the Charente and Charente-Maritime.
In addition, the sector has announced the collection of more than 40,000 masks for local hospitals, doctors and laboratories.
Since the first days of the Covid-19 health crisis, the Cognac sector, faithful to its collective values, has been mobilized to help the health workers in its region. In addition to the many spontaneous and individual initiatives of the trading houses and winegrowers, two collective projects have been set up:
1. Collective production and distribution of a hydro-alcoholic solution for health professionals in Charente and Charente-Maritime
With the help of health professionals, elected representatives and the Qualyse laboratory specializing in the practice of health and environmental analyses for local authorities, ministries and the private sector, the Cognac sector is setting up a regional operation from Monday 30 March 2020 aimed at producing, bottling and then distributing a hydroalcoholic solution.
Intended for town doctors, pharmacies, Ehpad and personal services in Charente and Charente-Maritime, this solution enables hands to be disinfected. It requires less glycerol than gel, an ingredient which, like hydrogen peroxide ("hydrogen peroxide"), is now very difficult to find.
This action, carried out on the initiative of the Cognac interprofession, is supervised and conducted in strict compliance with health regulations. It will enable the production of 8,000 50cl bottles (the equivalent of 40,000 individual 10cl bottles) to start up with an initial production of 4,000 liters. A larger quantity of alcohol has already been collected by the sector: production will increase according to the availability of glycerol and hydrogen peroxide.
The process is as follows:
Supply of neutral alcohol at 96° by the Cognac houses and winegrowers who have it,
Transformation of alcohol into hydroalcoholic solution* by Qualyse ;
Bottling in 50 cl bottles by a merchant who centralizes and coordinates the program;
Distribution of the vials to the two departments. For the 17th, under the supervision of Mrs Corinne Imbert, pharmacist, Senator and Departmental Councillor of Charente-Maritime and Mrs Catherine Desprez, Vice-President of the Departmental Council of Charente-Maritime, Mayor of Surgères. And for the 16th, in conjunction with Dr. Alain Thiburce, President of the Association of Doctors on call in the Charente (Ameps 16).
*Composition: ethanol 80%, glycerol 1.45%, hydrogen peroxide 0.13%, purified water, without perfume or dye.
2. Collection of more than 40,000 masks for hospitals, EMS, doctors and local laboratories
Since mid-March, players in the Cognac sector have supplied more than 40,000 masks to hospitals. But also to the SAMU, local doctors and laboratories.
These regional collective initiatives are in addition to other individual and spontaneous solidarity actions undertaken by merchants, winegrowers and distilleries on a local and national level (donations of alcohol and equipment).
The Cognac sector thus supports the collective effort while remaining faithful to its values and its territory.

Written by Alicia Cassels, MA
When you show deep empathy toward others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy replaces it. That's when you can get more creative in solving problems." -Stephen Covey
As a former clinician, I have experienced the power that empathy carries in the clinical care setting. I have observed the ways in which empathy can serve as a catalyst for establishing the trust required to partner with families in addressing complex challenges. I have marveled at the way empathy serves as a bridge to human connection in the care setting, diffusing tension, and opening doors to partnership in the healing process. As social beings, we tend to instinctively recognize and respond to the qualities of empathy. More than just a "soft skill", the ability to convey empathy can be one of the most important tools in the practitioner's toolbox.
What Does Research Tell Us About Empathy?
Researchers studying the power of empathy at the University of California, Berkeley, describe empathy as,
The ability to sense other people's emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone else might be thinking or feeling…"
Studies indicate that when care providers display empathy, patients are more open to hearing provider recommendations, more satisfied with their care, and in some cases, experience better health outcomes (Boissy, et al.; Tayal, et al., 2018). It is not difficult to understand why individuals and families who are scared, vulnerable, and navigating some of the most difficult circumstances they will ever face respond more positively to providers who display empathy.
What is, in fact, surprising is that, while social work and behavioral health training programs include core empathy components, formal empathy training tends to be completely absent in medical programs. More disconcertingly, is the research which indicates that empathy declines, in many cases, as doctors progress through their medical training (Hojat, et al., 2009; Nunes, Williams & Stevenson, 2011; Reiss, 2017; Williams, & Stevenson, 2011).
Here's the Good News.
Empathy skills can be learned and improved. If you are interested in assessing or improving your skills, check out the American Medical Association and the Greater Good Science Center resources below.

The American Medical Association offers a free training module for care providers interested in learning skills for listening with empathy.

University of California Health has created a video education series to inform and educate health care providers about best practices and the latest research on screening, managing symptoms and making specialty referrals for patients with post-COVID symptoms.
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a mass disabling event that has led to long-term consequences for patients, health care providers and the nation's system of health care, especially in medically underserved communities.
"In California alone, there may be an estimated 2 million Long COVID patients, and it's likely that the impact from this condition may increase already existing health inequities," said University of California Health's Vice President and Chief Clinical Strategy Officer Anne Foster, M.D., MPH, FACOG. "By educating, equipping and empowering more providers in the battle against the very real impact of Long COVID, we are helping expand access to care for this condition."
With potentially 1 in 5 COVID-19 patients affected by Long COVID – also known as Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC), it is urgent for more providers to keep current on what is known about the condition and its impacts, added Foster.
Sharing academic health system knowledge broadly
The UC education series brings together the knowledge and learnings from 12 academic health professionals across UC's system, including faculty and clinicians from UC Davis, UCI, UCLA, UC San Diego and UCSF. Delivered online via video, the content is available in individual video lectures or as a no-cost Continuing Medical Education (CME) course.1 State, national and global distribution is underway.
The modules include an overview of PASC/Long COVID, as well as information on the evaluation of the primary care patient with PASC/Long COVID. The specialty areas included in the modules are: pulmonology, neurology, psychiatry/behavioral health, rheumatology, cardiology, pediatrics, preventive and lifestyle/integrative medicine, emergency medicine, and health disparities.
About University of California Health
University of California Health comprises six academic health centers, 20 health professional schools, a Global Health Institute and systemwide services that improve the health of patients and the University's students, faculty and employees. All of UC's hospitals are ranked among the best in California and its medical schools and health professional schools are nationally ranked in their respective areas.

It appears as if our hapless government might have actually backed into a short term debt deal and will avert a default. This deal does little more than kick the can down the road, but we shouldn't expect anything more from our "leaders" in Washington. That's what they do.
This deal has no revenue increases at all, something Obama appeared to firmly oppose only a few weeks ago when he was insisting it was time to close loopholes for "corporate jet owners and oil companies." The problem is no one in Congress from either party fears him. Unsurprisingly, the Republican Party called his bluff and paid no price for it whatsoever. Indeed, they managed to get what they wanted: short term spending cuts and, most important, no revenue increases whatsoever.
Where does all this leave us? With the President forced to pathetically hang his hat on the output of a Congressional committee tasked with identifying another round of deficit reduction by Thanksgiving, which it could conceivably do at least in part by raising taxes. So there.
This morning on ABC's This Week, Grover Norquist, who seemed to generally support the deal that was then still taking shape, claimed a moral victory for conservatives because it set two precedents for future negotiations: it took revenue off the table for future deficit reduction talks, and it tied future debt ceiling increases to mandated budget cuts of equivalent or greater size.
He's right, and this is one of many reasons why Obama needed to make sure some kind of revenue increase was included in the deal, no matter how small. Just close one loophole that only benefits millionaires, or end one subsidy for an unpopular industry, and you've set a precedent that revenue is and will remain part of the negotiations. Obama failed, so the next time we fight this battle again, which we will, and sooner than you think, he's starting from zero all over again.
Politics, Leadership, and Governing
President Obama always seems to be a little bit behind the curve, never showing visible leadership until perhaps the last minute when, say, he speaks to a joint session of Congress or gives a prime time address. But by then it's typically too late, and he's reduced to doing what he can to minimize the damage.
Obama clearly disdains the political culture in Washington, but what thinking person doesn't? Half of his prime-time address about the debt ceiling earlier this week was a meta-speech, talking more about how things get done in Washington than about what he wants to get done in Washington.
Both Bill Clinton and George W. Bush had to deal with the alternatively silly and poisonous nature of our politics. But they didn't whine about it. Or if they did, they didn't lose sight of the essential fact that if they wanted to succeed, they had to lead public opinion, and in order to lead public opinion you have to play the game. Indeed, you must master it. What's more, the President has a unique and unmatched ability to shape public opinion, and consequently has the least cause for complaint.
Obama seems to actually believe that he shouldn't have to engage in our trivial and dumb political culture, but that's what his job is. If he didn't want to get dirty, he shouldn't have taken a job at the landfill.
Politics is not a dirty word, a practice to be looked down upon. Politics is laying out a vision, shaping public opinion, setting the terms of debate. Politics is an essential part of governing, and playing politics well is an essential part of leadership.
One quick example of why this matters. Obama spent almost no time during his speech this week explaining where this debt came from: three unfunded tax cuts, two unfunded wars, one unfunded massive entitlement expansion, and an economic mess that has decimated tax revenue and hugely increased the level of government spending for social safety net programs. Amazingly, Obama spent about as much time mentioning Bush policies as he did his own stimulus plan. When it was Boehner's turn, he didn't even mention, much less accept responsibility for, Bush-era policies, all of which he personally voted for as a member of the House. No, he only mentioned Obama's "failed stimulus" and "job killing health care plan." He did that because that's his job. It's called framing the debate. It's called politics.
If the worst had happens (and can still happen – no one has passed anything yet), who will get the blame? What has Obama done to ensure it's not him? He lost control of the message on the stimulus; on health care; he doesn't control the economic policy agenda at all, which is dictated entirely by Republicans focused on deficits above all else; and he lost control of this one too.
What is Obama's vision for the economy? What are his red lines where he will not go, what components of a budget does he feel are essential to job creation, what does he view as a fair tax system? No one knows the answer to any of this, because Obama himself appears to have no answer. He appears to have no vision. He simply doesn't lead.

U.S. President Joe Biden urged Congress to act "now" to restrict gun sales in the United States.
"We will take action to end our epidemic of gun violence and make our schools and communities safer," Biden said after commemorating the third anniversary of the Parkland shooting.
"I call on Congress to enact common-sense gun reforms," Biden said, calling for requiring background checks for buyers "for all gun sales," and banning assault rifles and high-capacity magazines.
Biden knows he has the Democratic majority in the Senate, but to pass such legislation he will need at least 10 Republicans to turn in his favor.
During the election campaign, fears of increased controls by a Biden Administration drove gun sales in the face of the possibility of opening the door to a bill that would limit access to weaponry.
Biden's plan as President of the United States is to implement a law banning assault weapons; a situation that contradicts the theory that as long as there are more legal guns there would be less violent crime.
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which dates back to 1791, enshrines the right to bear arms. However Biden's public program states that he will seek to repeal the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to hold "manufacturers accountable." It further states that he will take "weapons of war off the streets" and "ban the manufacture and sale of assault weapons and high-capacity cartridges."
"Biden will use his executive authority to ban the importation of assault weapons," according to his action plan. The Democrat has already said that gun manufacturers are "the enemy" of Democratic Party-led gun control efforts.
According to Mark Oliva, Director of Public Affairs for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, – a trade group that tracks and analyzes gun sales – sales in 2020 hit a record high before Election Day.
Oliva says October firearms sales were up 60% compared to the same month last year, and claims more than 17 million guns were sold during the first 10 months of 2020.
Figures in the United States already showed in 2019 that the more legal guns there are, the less violent crimes are recorded. Official data indicated that violent crimes dropped 48.6% in the country, in the same period that the record number of gun purchases was registered.
Gun sales, property rights
Recent events also show how the possession of legal weapons not only inhibits violent crime, but also allows the defense of private property and even family members. In June 2020, a video went viral showing two seniors defending their home from violent intrusions by simply carrying guns in plain sight.
On that occasion, Black Lives Matter protesters broke into a private neighborhood in St. Louis, Missouri, but upon entering they were stopped by Mark and Patricia McCloskey, who were only defending their property against the threat of violent attacks against them.
Another recent development raising controversy over gun carrying arose last November 23rd when Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert requested permission from Capitol Police to carry her gun on congressional grounds.
Likewise, Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene also said she supported Boebert's right to carry her gun in Congress: "Not only do I support members of Congress carrying a firearm, but I believe all Americans have that right," Greene said in a statement.
Juan Carlos Hidalgo, an analyst of the Cato Institute, has pointed out that "there is no empirical evidence to support that more controls on gun carrying would lead to a reduction in crime". He also indicated that "the right to bear arms is a right inherent to the right to life. If I have the right to life, I have the right to protect my life".

Julie Gonzalo and Staz Nair Join Cast
The show's producers announced that two new characters will be joining the action in National City for the upcoming season: DC's Andrea Rojas (aka Acrata) and renowned reporter William Dey.- Julie Gonzalo (Veronica Mars, Dallas, Eli Stone) will star as iconic DC character Andrea Rojas (aka Acrata). A polished businesswoman and heir to a Central American tech empire, Andrea Rojas (aka Acrata) is now making a hostile advance into the world of media. Unapologetic and unafraid to make waves, she also holds a mystical secret. Gonzalo will first appear as Rojas in the season premiere on Sunday, October 6, at 9/8c on The CW.
- UK-based actor Staz Nair - who is perhaps best known for playing Qhono, a Dothraki warrior loyal to Daenerys Targaryen on Game of Thrones - will play hardened reporter William Dey, an original character created for the series. On the surface, he's a cynic and a sellout who looks down on Kara's earnest idealism. Dey's not interested in making friends, he just wants to get the story - but his ties to the criminal underworld could prove problematic. Nair (Game of Thrones, FOX's The Rocky Horror Picture Show, AMC's Humans) as William Dey will also make his debut during the season premiere episode.
Supergirl returns for its fifth season on Sunday, October 6, at 9/8c on The CW. Produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television and based on DC characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Supergirl stars Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor, Jesse Rath as Brainiac, Nicole Maines as Nia Nal, Azie Tesfai as Kelly Olsen, Andrea Brooks as Eve Tessmacher, with David Harewood as J'onn J'onzz. Greg Berlanti, Jessica Queller, Robert Rovner and Sarah Schechter are executive producers.
