|Reviews for Snow
| Horselover53 chapter 1 . 9/7/2004
WOW! That was really good..so much emotion inside it. very well written
| vintage fade chapter 1 . 9/7/2004
Yeah, I know what you're saying here. Snow used to seem so... wonderful, amazing, cool when I was a little kid. Now I just sit in the house and watch my younger brothers and sister enjoy it. Nice, kind of sappy, but nice. You told the truth, and I especially liked the lines 'The color of innocence' 'That time has slipped away/ Softly and silently I've grown older/ Instead of seeing the white pure snow/I see the brown slush on the street.' You know, I read your bio, and I think you should publish your 'good stuff'. If someone does try to steal it, you can report it to FP, y'know. Ah, I'm rambling. Nice poem.
much love

Excellent description. Like, really REALLY good. I loved the idea of snow slipping from the sky. You just have a way with language... excellent. And the theme was so cool. Of the whole reletivity between the snow and the past and childhood. Anyway, I'll stop rambling. I loved it! I can't think of anything to improve upon. (I'm terrible with constructive critisism.)

Aw...I love this. The double meaning of snow. How your young self sees it one way and your older self another. Niffty idea. You're stuff is good, really!

The Launching of a New Building Community Concept!
We have come up with an ingenious way of promoting the Green Building movement, Off-Grid movement, Hurricane / Tornado protection movement, L.E.E.D Certifications movement and the"tiny-house" movement all for an affordable cost that EVERYONE can afford even the people on a small fixed income. We are looking for investors to build out communities that are 100% off the grid (not only zero energy – totally off the grid!) that will be affordable for everyone. NO MORE damage from weather anomalies that up root homeowners for extended periods. NO MORE deaths from flying debris and falling trees and houses, NO MORE sickness and disease (MCS – Multiple Chemical Sensitivity) caused by mold, NO MORE loss of electric due to problems cause by old-fashion ugly wires running everywhere that get torn apart during storms, fires and fallen trees. Our government and big industries have us controlled by wires; wires from massive electrical plants to within inches of our every movement and breath we take.

Green Building Consultants
Many years prior to the Green and Sustainable movement began we were designing a system that would not only be earth friendly but would protect the building occupants during natural and man made anomalies. From the beginning, we focused on this mission with the understanding that nothing new could survive outside of normal cost parameters of other building systems. After countless months and years of testing and tweaking, trial and error, and site discovery of the best site means and methods, we discovered a perfect solution that generates benefits far beyond our expectations at a cost to the consumer comparable to all standard types of construction methodologies such as Stick Frame, CMU Block, all types of ICF systems and Tilt-Wall.
Omnicrete is the greenest, most Energy Efficient, Strongest, Sustainable, Eco-Friendly, Healthiest and Economically Efficient construction system ever created and proven on a job site! Present day Green Building Standards are designed to protect earth's delicate Ecosystem, maximize energy efficiency, minimize indoor air pollution and reduce the overall carbon footprint. This focus is not only on the completed job and its consumption of energy during it's useful life, but also on the materials used in the construction, the transportation of those materials to the job site and the re-use of the materials after the useful life of the building has expired. The Omnicrete System not only meets these standards and requirements, it far exceeds them. — Len Terry, CEO, Founder, Inventor and Patent Holder.

The Triumph of William McKinley
Why the Election of 1896 Still Matters
"The Triumph of McKinley is the Triumph of Karl Rove. This is a rousing tale told by a master storyteller whose love of politics, campaigning, and combat shines through on every page. Both the man and his times are brought to such vivid life that I felt myself catapulted back to the turn of the last century. And it was great fun to be there!"
—Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Team of Rivals "Having run—and won—two presidential campaigns, Karl Rove knows elections. The Triumph of William McKinley is a deeply informed and highly engaging account of one of the seminal elections in American history, the 1896 victory that ushered in more than a generation of Republican dominance. A vivid, intriguing and compellingly modern rendering of one of the most underappreciated episodes in American political history."
—Charles Krauthammer, #1 bestselling author of Things That Matter
"Either politics used to be more fun or Karl Rove just makes it seem that way. Whichever, his account of the 1896 election is written with great verve, even as it is informed by thorough research and illuminated by shrewd insight. This is political history at its most engaging."
—H. W. Brands, Professor of History, University of Texas at Austin, and author of
Traitor to His Class
"Informed by his passion for history and by his love of strategy, Karl Rove has painted a colorful and detailed portrait of an important American moment. Highly recommended!"
—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of American Lion
"Karl Rove, who knows a thing or two about presidential campaigns, looks back at a watershed election over a century ago and shows how the winner, William McKinley, used it to change his party, the political process, and the nation. It's all here: the big themes, the backstage maneuvers, the personalities, the hoopla. A great read for historians, political junkies, and—in our own wild election cycle—Americans."
—Richard Brookhiser, author of Founders' Son: A Life of Abraham Lincoln
Karl Rove, bestselling author of Courage and Consequence and visionary behind the Republican Party's last two presidential victories, has written a historical book with important lessons that can be applied to today's political environment. The Triumph of William McKinley: Why the Election of 1896 Still Matters (on sale November 24, 2015) will be published one year before the next presidential election, coinciding with the beginning of the primary season in which over a dozen candidates are vying for the Republican nomination. The book offers a fresh look at the 1896 race between Democrat William Jennings Bryan and the man who defeated him and became the 25th president of the United States, Republican William McKinley.
The Triumph of William McKinley describes how the Civil War hero, who preferred "The Major" above any other title he had in life, changed the arc of American history by running the first truly modern presidential campaign. As Rove explains, the 1896 political environment resembles that of today: an electorate transformed by a growing immigrant population, an uncertain economy disrupted by new technologies, growing income inequality, and political gridlock that kept the parties from resolving major issues. McKinley's winning campaign found ways to address these challenges and reform his party, thereby creating a governing majority that dominated American politics for the next thirty-six years.
Much of what we think we know about the 1896 election is wrong. This campaign was not led, as popular history holds, by wealthy Cleveland industrialist Mark Hanna. The strategist behind the campaign was McKinley himself, a particularly skilled practical politician and thoughtful visionary. He, with the help of a thirty-something Chicago entrepreneur named Charles G. Dawes, ran the biggest, most expensive campaign in history. The story of the 1896 campaign is one of an impressive marshaling of resources, careful targeting, surprising outreach, skillful use of new technologies, big gambles, and, most important of all, an audacious strategy, and powerful, if not perilous, message.
Matched in the general election against the dynamic and charismatic Democrat William Jennings Bryan, McKinley took the riskier course of accentuating his large differences with Bryan and offering bold and controversial answers to the nation's most pressing challenges. He succeeded because he knew he had to run a different kind of campaign. For example:
- Knowing his party could only win if it grew beyond its base, he reached out to diverse ethnic groups, becoming the first Republican to openly seek the endorsement of Catholic leaders.
- He was the first candidate in either party to appear before black audiences during the presidential primary season and openly campaign for black voting rights.
- Running on the slogan "The People Against the Bosses," McKinley also took on the machine men who dominated his own party.
- He deployed campaign tactics still used today, including targeting voters with the best available technology.
- Above all, his response to the nation's most pressing issue—how to make a new, more global economy work for every American—won him the White House despite splitting his party. By sticking to his principles, he created a new GOP majority.
The story of McKinley's presidential campaign is a compelling drama in its own right, but it also offers important—and urgent—lessons for today.
Karl Rove has been described by respected author and columnist Michael Barone in U.S. News & World Report as "…unique…no Presidential appointee has ever had such a strong influence on politics and policy, and none is likely to do so again anytime soon." Washington Post columnist David Broder has called Karl a master political strategist whose "game has always been long term…and he plays it with an intensity and attention to detail that few can match." Fred Barnes, executive editor of The Weekly Standard, has called Karl "the greatest political mind of his generation and probably of any generation. He knows history, understands the moods of the public, and is a visionary on matters of public policy."
Before Karl became known as "The Architect" of President Bush's 2000 and 2004 campaigns, he was president of Karl Rove + Company, an Austin-based public affairs firm that worked for Republican candidates, non-partisan causes, and non-profit groups. His clients included over 75 Republican U.S. Senate, Congressional, and gubernatorial candidates in 24 states.
As a Fox News contributor, Karl provides a "genuine feel of inside knowledge," says David Zurawik, Baltimore Sun television critic. Megan Garber, of the Columbia Journalism Review, says Karl has "focused his punditry on what he knows best: strategy." Even the New York Times acknowledges that "Rove's substantive contributions may now inspire a little work ethic among the celebrity talking heads who may be forced to bring to the news a little more data and a little less opinion, a recalibration that would be welcome to its devoted viewers."
Karl writes a weekly op-ed for the Wall Street Journal and is the author of the New York Times Bestseller, Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight. He has written for various publications, including The Daily Beast, Financial Times, Forbes, FoxNews.com, TIME, Newsweek, The Times, Washington Post, POLITICO, and The Weekly Standard.
A Colorado native, he attended the University of Utah, the University of Maryland-College Park, George Mason University, and the University of Texas at Austin.
Karl has taught graduate students at UT Austin's Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs and undergraduates in a joint appointment from the Journalism and Government departments at the university. He was also a faculty member at the Salzburg Seminar.
He was previously a member of the Board of International Broadcasting, which oversaw the operations of Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty, and served on the White House Fellows regional selection panel. He was also a member of the Boards of Regents at Texas Women's University and East Texas State University.
Karl now serves on the University of Texas Chancellor's Council Executive Committee and on the Board of Trustees for Texas State History Museum Foundation. He is a member of the McDonald Observatory Board of Visitors and the Texas Philosophical Society. He was inducted into the Scandinavian-American Hall of Fame in 2009 and the American Association of Political Consultants Hall of Fame in 2012.

Unwelcome House Guests
You probably do not know me. In fact to you, I might very well be a stranger. But I am sure that you have met my close friends: heart disease and stroke. You might even know them better than I do, for I have only had the most intimate of relationships with them since 2006.
I met heart disease years ago, but not on a first name basis. Heart Disease wanted to meet my grandfathers first and become close friends with them before truly stepping through the doors to my own life. When I was a small child I remember tracing the long scar on my maternal grandfather's chest with my fingers asking him to tell me the story behind the scar over and over again. Such a big scar, and such little fingers trying to understand the depth of what lay behind the incision.
In the sixth grade, heart disease decided to visit again. This time, to my paternal grandfather. The visit was such a surprise that we did not have time to plan… heart disease just came in, and when it left, it decided to take my grandfather from us. However, at that point in time, I still had small hands, and there were no scars to trace with my fingers, we only had pain left behind.
Stroke then decided to stop by, and visited my maternal grandfather. Twice. The second visit devastated us all – however, it devastated my grandfather the most, as it left him incapacitated and bedridden for 14 years and eventually too sick to keep fighting.
I suppose my family gained popularity and status in certain circles, because both heart disease and stroke decided to visit me in July 2006. Stroke made a surprise visit on July 21, 2006 and stayed for a while. I later learned that heart disease (congenital heart defect to be specific) had actually stopped by on November 20, 1972 the day I was born. However, it did not decide to make itself heard until stroke showed up. I guess it was an attention thing…
The funny thing with stroke and heart disease is that they are the kinds of guests that never really leave. They are always around, lurking in a corner, down a dark alley, and just waiting for the window to be left open just the tiniest amount so that they can come back. Heart disease is the nation's number 1 uninvited guest – stroke is number 3.
You might not know me, but I am quite certain that you have met heart disease and/or stroke before. They sometimes come without letting you know in advance of their travel plans. They are not the kinds of friends or guests that you want to have in your home or in your family or friends' homes. They do not say please or thank you, and when they leave, it is not quietly and often a path of destruction is a reminder of their visit.
You do not have to think twice about my story or feel pity or remorse– I have started to move beyond these visits, and beyond the fear of a potential "next" visit. I celebrate my life, with a new husband who recognized my signs of stroke. But think about yourself, your friends, and your family. Understand the importance of limiting the impact of these unwelcome guests. Support the American Heart and American Stroke Associations.

CBI files closure report in Sachan death case
After 14 months of investigation, CBI on Friday filed its closure report in deputy CMO YS Sachan's death case, saying forensic evidence pointed to suicide.lucknow Updated: Sep 28, 2012 15:05 IST
After 14 months of investigation, CBI on Friday filed its closure report in deputy CMO YS Sachan's death case, saying forensic evidence pointed to suicide.
The agency, which took up the case from Lucknow Police last year, filed its report before the Special CBI court saying no evidence indicating murder of 52-year-old Sachan was found by it.
The premier agency came to the conclusion as forensic evidence indicated that although body found in the district prison toilet here on June 22, 2011 had deep cuts, there was "no injury on inaccessible parts" and there were no cuts on clothes, CBI said in its report.
It found strong evidence pointing that Sachan was disturbed and stressed - after UP Police alleged his role in the murder of two Chief Medical Officers --VK Arya and BP Singh--- and he had even stopped taking meals.
While CBI claimed there was no evidence indicating murder of Sachan, it also claimed that there was act of omission and commission by four jail officials including the then Inspector General for allegedly suppressing some important evidence.
The agency, while recommending departmental action against them, alleged "There were acts of omission and commission on the part of UP Police personnel including the then Warden, the then Head Warder and the then IGP(Jail Administration and Reform Services), due to which it some important evidence was suppressed".
The agency claimed that panel of doctors from All India Institute of Medical Sciences came to conclusion that death was caused by "ante-mortem (prior to death) hanging associated with multiple suicidal wounds".
During the probe, CBI scanned CCTV footage of the jail and main gate which, it claimed, did not reveal any suspicious movement of any vehicle on June 22, 2011 when the body was found in the prison toilet.
In its report, CBI said that Sachan being a doctor knew well the human anatomy and inflicted injuries in vital areas including neck, elbow/arms, wrist and groin, which are "common sites" of wounds in suicide cases.
"All the injuries were muscle-deep suggesting hesitation wounds which are common in suicidal cases.Twin parallel incised wounds on the wrist & both elbows are suggestive of self inflicted wounds," the report claimed.
CBI said the Sachan was under pressure after his alleged role in the murder of Chief Medical Officers--VK Arya and BP Singh--surfaced and he was made accused by Uttar Pradesh Police.
CBI said probe has revealed that murder of Arya allegedly by shooters hired by Sachan and subsequent arrest of wrong persons by Lucknow Police in the case emboldened him.
"During financial year 2010-11, a total amount of Rs. 19.35 crore was spent by the office of CMO (Family Welfare) under NRHM scheme in Lucknow district. During his tenure of three months as in-charge CMO(Family Welfare), Dr.Sachan had spent Rs. 8.21 crore. Thus during his very short tenure, he spent a substantial amount," the report claimed.
It said Sachan was unhappy with the posting of Dr BP Singh as new incumbent as he was actively pursuing enquiry against him for alleged misappropriation of NRHM funds. It claimed Sachan allegedly got him shot dead on April 2, 2011 through contract killers hired by him.
The CBI said although he was questioned by the Police on April 4, 2011 there was no evidence against him and he was not arrested. Once police got evidence, he was arrested by the police and put in Lucknow Prison.
After his arrest, Sachan started accusing police of not arresting another CMO AK Shukla and making him scapegoat in the case.

The whole problem is Obama. When NK attacks China will move on Taiwan, threaten Japan and the U.S. while Russia and the Arabs move on Israel. The U.S. will turn all its focus on trying to help everyone at the same time and unzip our fly for Russian subs to attack here at home. We will be damaged pretty bad but China will be in flames and Russia will be crippled beyond belief by NATO and Israel more than any. Obama will probably be shot just before this all happens leaving the moron in charge. Obama will survive and then make his false peace deal and proclaim he is the Messiah.

Solution to all of this? Un has expressed an interest in Basketball and Dennis Rodeman has just visted. How about setting up a match between North and South Korea, one in Seoul and the other in North Korea. That way nobody dies and hopefully cooler heads and common sense prevails!
Worrying times indeed though.
China controls everything North Korea does period. When China wants a distraction they tell lil kim to raise hell. If the U.S. were smart they would hit all the Chinese nuclear sites right now and get it over with. China has already told NK to attack the south so they can distract the U.S. so they can take down Taiwan and all the surrounding islands.

Veterans Day was always a significant day growing up and remains so today. I want to share with you a little about the man who instilled so much into my life, inspired me daily and was the greatest veteran a person could ever know.
My grandfather, Joseph Harold Wallace, joined the U.S. Coast Guard in May 1942. His service included assignments aboard ships in the Asiatic Pacific area, as well as the European, African and Middle Eastern area. He was released from active duty after three years and eight months of honorable service as a sonarman first class. Following his service during World War II, he was an active member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 1851, Newark, where he was post commander in 1956. Upon moving to Bayville, he transferred to V.F.W. Post 9503.
He went to the post every single day to do make it look the best it could. Always a new landscaping project, new project in the picnic area, new coat of paint, supporting fundraisers, etc. You name it he did it every single day (holidays too) of his life. His fellow veterans were one of the most important people to him and were his extended family. He often referred to the VFW as "The Club." Still to this day the Bayville VFW Post 9503 has their picnic grove named in his honor, The Joe Wallace Grove.
Throughout my years at Central Regional middle and high school he drove me so I did not have to take the bus and he was already heading that way. I heard more stories than even his own children about the war and his time serving our great country. When I would share some of the stories he would tell me to my mom she would often say "I never heard about that."
I was a lucky kid growing up. Not only did I have an amazing grandfather, who was more like my father to me, but I also learned many things about how our veterans sacrifice so much and how passionate he was about supporting the veterans when they came home. He was truly a significant part of the "Greatest Generation" and one of the greatest, most proud veterans in history.
I miss our daily drives up Veterans Blvd and hearing the stories.
Take the time to speak to our veterans, hear the stories and honor them today and everyday.

To be perfectly honest, I am not a Rolling Stones fan. I have never owned a LP or CD of theirs. It's not like I hate them or wont listen to them when they come one the radio. It's just more indifference. So why you may ask, did I buy a record of one of their guitarists?
Good question.
One, it was only $2 and it has guest stars galore. Two, I'm always what musicians will do when they're left to their own devices. Three, why not it's only two bucks.
I have Ronnie's first solo album, I've Got My Own Album To Do, and I was rather unimpressed by it. So expectations for Gimme Some Neck was pretty low. I guess it's only natural to wonder if these songs were rejected by the Stones. this album came out in between Some Girls and Emotional Rescue. "We All Get Old" is a dirty blues rock track with slide guitar that Mick would have knocked out of the park. "Buried Alive" is one of the those very dancey rock songs the Stones were cranking out. Considering how commercial the Stones were going , the poppy "Come To Realize" might have worked. However, both songs seem like B-Sides more than album cuts.
I think part of the problem on Gimme Some Neck is Ron. He is not a good singer. His voice sounds like a lazy imitation of Keith's. Because of that the songs sound unfinished. It reminds me of being in a band and demoing a song and someone lays down vocals because the singer isn't there. There a couple of good tracks on here. The Bob Dylan penned "Seven Days" is fantastic. It sounds like a Dylan song of the period. "F.U.C. Her" is a very cheeky rocker that in quite reminiscent of Mott the Hoople. Ian McLagan gives a favor to his ex-Faces band mate and tickle the ivories here. then there's "Infekshun" a very infectious boogie number.
After several spins I'm a little mixed on how I feel about Gimme Some Neck. The specter of The Rolling Stones cannot be ignored. Especially when Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and Mick Jagger make guest appearances here.But I think there's enough of Ronnie on here to separate it. Have to mention some of the other stars that appear. Dave Mason, Mick Fleetwood and well known session drummer Jim Keltner. It's not a bad record but I don't know if it's a good record. I;m more likely to pull up a specific song on Spotify than play the whole album.
I paid $2 bucks for this but I don't know how happy I'd be if I paid $5 for it. Honestly I wouldn't have bought it for $5.
I really really under paid
I really under paid
I paid about right
I over paid
I should have lit my money on fire

Power of Friendship - Breast Cancer Survivor
Sherry Waldrip's deep-seated passion for friendship and humor make her an everlasting inspiration. She loves to stir her audience to an understanding that when cancer steals the song in their heart, friendship and laughter will sing it back to them. In an intimate girlfriend-to-girlfriend fashion, she shares how her friends did that for her and incorporates fun, imaginative ideas she's learned from others while traveling and speaking.

Sherry has been an inspirational speaker since 1986. Her early training and experience came through Stonecroft's international organization, Christian Women's Club. After her experience with cancer she gave birth to her third child, her award-winning book, I Don't Remember Signing up for Cancer! (WinePress). She then graduated from Florence Littauer's CLASSpeakers, Inc. and has also been a member of Toastmaster's International. Her speaking has taken her throughout the United States and Canada.
Whether Sherry's speaking for a cancer event such as a Race for the Cure or a Pink Ribbon Banquet, a fundraiser, a business women's conference or luncheon; whether she's speaking to doctor's wives, legislators or children, her heartwarming encouragement, humor and candor are well received. Her audiences have stated that they've found themselves laughing in the most unexpected places. Her presentations bring both laughter and tears; and those who attend leave reassured that faith, family, friends and frivolity can revitalize a heart broken by cancer.
Sherry has been married to her husband Jerry since 1968. They have two grown sons and two grandsons. Having celebrated her 25th year of being cancer free, Sherry has chosen this time in her life to take to the platform "full speed ahead!" to carry forth her message of humor, hugs and hope.
Friendship, Humor and Hope or I Don't Remember Signing Up for Cancer
As a speaker and author of the award winning book, I Don't Remember Signing Up For Cancer! Sherry inspires an understanding that when cancer steals the song in your heart, friendship and laughter can sing it back.

Life… A Community Event
Who was that masked man? We weren't meant to be Lone Ranger citizens and who wants to be! Community is as diverse as people and comes in many shapes and sizes. It looks like family, church or synagogue, workplace, neighborhood and much more. We need community to help us learn, laugh and live life. This presentation has been popular as a humorous keynote for community luncheons, fundraisers and businesswomen's conferences.
The Sunset Chapter
In an earlier chapter of her adult life, Sherry worked as a ward secretary in a convalescent center in Northern California. During this presentation she shares some funny experiences; the valuable lesson a wise nurse taught her that has helped her deal with the ups and downs of life; the healing power of laughter and friendship; and the most important gift we can give to our "Greatest Generation" as they live the sunset chapter of their lives. This is a popular keynote presentation for healthcare workers and was developed for an appreciation banquet for legislators who provide funding.
Wipe that Smile Off your Face…You're at Work!
Of course we must take our work seriously; but must we take ourselves so seriously? Dwight D. Eisenhower said, "A sense of humor is part of leadership, of getting along with people, of getting things done." Is humor indeed appropriate at work? If Mister "I like IKE" thought so, maybe we should consider it!
A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes!
This presentation was developed when Sherry was invited to speak to a group entitled, Women in Transition. These are women whose dreams have been shattered by others . . . by life. You may not have had your dreams shattered by others; maybe you just don't yet know what you want to be when you grow up? Is it too late? Do you even know what your dream might be? How do you get in touch with your lost dream? How do you protect your dream from dying? We are all originals with individual dreams. Let's dream big!

Phil is absent from the mix for the same reason that Phil is absent from almost all soundboards between 1980 and 1985 - he didn't like Healy's mix (especially compared to Betty's) and did his own, and by-passed the soundboard. I was at this Buffalo show too, and Phil was loud and hot often in this show. I remember YUGE Phil-bombs during Bertha, for example. Blame the thin mix on Healy, not Phil.
I agree with the 'general Jerry decline' comment, but he could still fake it pretty good in '81 - his voice didn't really go 'til the next year...
How can 2 Morning Dews in one week be a bad thing?
...I was at the Rochester and Buffalo shows. Rochester was uncharacteristically energetic for '76, and was quite a special evening, particularly the whole Slipknot sandwich. Buffalo was also fun, with more focus than much of the '81 tour, which for me was notable for the general absence of Phil from the mix (or from showing much interest in the whole affair), and more frequent signs of Jerry's general decline......

The latest edition of the Presbyterian Outlook focuses on all the crazy technology and web 2.0 stuff that is out there infiltrating our church communities. A couple of my posts made the cut as well as some great commentary from some solid colleagues. Not sure what Web 3.0 is shaping up to be, but I am going to count my blessings that there are more and more folks willing to come out and claim some of the wonderful opportunities that technology can bring to ministry.
From Jack Haberer, Editor-in-chief
The world really is flat, as Thomas Friedman proclaimed in his book by that title.
those of us who have held the privileged role of "editor" (the person
who decides what news is "fit to print"), that privilege has
those of us who have held the privileged role of "preacher," (the
person who tells the people what God's Word says and means), that
privilege has disappeared, too.
Then again, maybe we were due for a change.
Actually, the change may be just what we Presbyterians need.
You will have to register to see the articles in their entirety, but it is well worth it. Most of the 2.0 articles are in the COMMENTARY SECTION.

Book title: The term ÔÇťBlack & WhiteÔÇŁ refers to the ethnicity of the president. ÔÇťDonkeyÔÇŁ refers to the symbol of the Democratic political party, as opposed to the ÔÇťElephantÔÇŁ which is the symbol representing the Republican party.
Online PR News – 18-October-2012 – Plano, TX – Throughout the years, middle and lower class American citizens have quietly accepted whatever policies former GOP presidents implemented. Still, those presidents remained respected, with seemingly no major problems from the general public. After the election and inauguration of President Barack Obama, the disregard his opposition held for him became blatantly clear. The author felt she could no longer ignore such an incredible level of disrespect.
On a daily basis, opponents accuse him of implementing policies that hurt America. They display their dissatisfaction with grave hatred, while creating strife and division throughout the country. As they work so diligently toward turning American citizens against their president, the author felt inclined to bring awareness to his accomplishments. Many of which were actually fulfillments of campaign promises to the American people. These promises helped to win him the White House.
The author believes that it is time that an average, every day American citizenÔÇŽ one of ÔÇťthe 47%ÔÇŁÔÇŽ spoke up to help the world separate fact from fiction regarding Obama's record. The reality is millions of Americans from all political parties are benefiting from the policies of the Obama Administration.
Why does President Obama deserve a second term?
Dispelling widely spread rumors that President Obama has achieved nothingÔÇŽ or has passed negative policies for the country, this book focuses on the fact that millions throughout America ÔÇô both democrats and republicans, benefit on a daily basis from his policies. The reader will soon realize that he actually has a very strong record to run on!
The president of the United States of America has always been considered the ÔÇťmost powerful man in the free worldÔÇŁ. Barack Obama has been the Commander-in-Chief over three wars; has ended a nine-year international conflict; reportedly responsible for handling more major catastrophes than any president in many years, all after stepping into office during a recession and navigating it into a challenging economic recovery (a slow, but constantly progressive recovery). He has provided health care for millions; championed stimulus payments; helped millions of Americans who are out of work by extending unemployment; saved thousands of jobs by saving the auto industry; assisted Americans with foreclosures, made purchasing homes more affordable; focused on education and student loans, addressed predatory credit card reform and much more!
Unemployment levels high due to ObamaÔÇÖs policies?
Think againÔÇŽ with corporate America being the major hiring entities in the U.S., this book reveals under a separate sub-heading, the true reason, for unemployment, as recently admitted by one of AmericaÔÇÖs most successful, corporate businessmen.
Challenge Issued
In listening to the pundits over the past four years, the author feels it is critical to look at the PresidentÔÇÖs accomplishments from the eyes of the ordinary American citizens. Why is it necessary for others to always speak for us when we can speak for ourselves?
The author challenges the millions of American voters of either party (from every governor to the middle class to the homeless), who have benefited from any of the policies of President Obama, to step up and support him by voting, participating in polls, speaking out, contributing, or by any other means possible. ItÔÇÖs only fair, as he has ÔÇťstood in the gapÔÇŁ for you to receive such benefits throughout his first presidential term. If you believe that large and small businesses should ÔÇťpay their fair shareÔÇŁ, do not continue to buy into the rhetoric spread by his opposition.
This book is based on research and actual personal knowledge of what the president has achieved (truth). Included are numerous facts that the GOP does not want you to know pertaining to the many accomplishments of Obama and the legacy he leaves behind. If you are a believer in truth and fairness to all Americans (not excluding the 47%), then take action and support your president, regardless of what the haters say.

Nishant Jethi learned that the house sparrow population has dropped due to a decline in proper nesting space. His response to this problem was to build little birdhouses sized just for them. They's shaped like letters so people can spell out words with them.

Birds that can read - that is neat!
Letter Birdhouses? Please. These are Wordhouses.
If this guy is worried about declining populations of house sparrows, I can ship him some. We have way more than enough house sparrows here in Montreal.

I LOVE Robert De Niro! more of the classic films he played, just wondering about this film? is it worth watching? dont get me wrong he's a great infact, very unique and handsome and his style of acting is cool, but has he softened up in films that he stars in? I would want to see this one, but I dunno if it would be worth it.

Labor & birth
After 9 months of pregnancy, the big day is finally here!
If your pregnancy is healthy, wait for labor to begin on its own. Babies aren't fully developed until at least 39 weeks.
You may feel nervous about labor, but learning all about contractions and the signs of labor can help you get ready. Most women have their babies by vaginal birth, but some have a cesarean birth (also called c-section).
Use our birth plan to help make decisions about your baby's birth. Who do you want to be at the hospital with you? Are there any special traditions that you want to happen? Thinking about these things ahead of time can help you, your partner, your provider and your friends and family know exactly how you want labor and birth to be.

Today is National Pound Cake Day. Who knew? Appropriately it falls on the day before Lent, and its accompanying fasting, begins, but what happens to the leftovers? Freeze them for Easter?
Alison and I decided to embrace this little-known National Day set aside for the celebration of the wondrous mathematical ratio of one pound each
flour : sugar : eggs : butter
We tried three new (to us) recipes to share with you in honor of such a gluttonous day. (You'll find printable versions of all three at the end of this post.)
Brown Sugar Rum Pound Cake
This recipe languished in my recipe clippings until I rediscovered it while sorting and filing my Recipes to Try, as chronicled in Rounding Up the Recipes. I made the cake to serve at my CAbi shows last week and regret that it took me so long to get around to trying it. The brown sugar adds a luscious caramel-like depth of flavor. The clipping received its promotion to the Tried and True recipe file in my kitchen and will be a go-to in the future.
Grandmother Cook's Classic Sour Cream Pound Cake
kMg shared this recipe that came from her great grandmother.
Everyone should have this classic in your repertoire. Then you are free to adapt it for whatever flavors you like.
Chocolate Sour Cream Pound Cake
One riff on the classic is this chocolate version. Alison had been hunting for a simple chocolate loaf recipe since before Christmas, so she decided to try a Paula Deen pound cake rendition in chocolate. The only real difference between Grandma Cook's and Ms. Deen's is the substitution of ¾ cup dutch process cocoa for the same amount of flour, and what a decadent delight results.
Possibilities are Endless
Keeping the flour:sugar:eggs:butter ratio the same, you can develop your own pound cake recipe. For the coconut lover, you get the idea from my Heirloom Coconut Pound Cake recipe. Last week we celebrated my husband's birthday with jMf's twist on the recipe as shared here by using butter instead of crisco and toasting the coconut. Quick searches for pound cakes containing my favorite ingredients (lemon, margarita, Kahlua….not all at once) yielded numerous results; no need to re-invent the wheel. I wondered if the latest foodie ingredients have made their way into pound cakes. Kale and Quinoa Pound Cake anyone?

Henry Kuttner's "The Disinherited" (short story, free): A god-like being protects worlds from barbarian space invaders!
When "Lords" killed Ardno Carver because he was old & useless in front of his son Ron, Ron ran into a rage. Both Ardno & Ron are slaves ("Helots").
Now Ron is being hunted by Lords & will surely be killed. But there is timely intervention in the person of a Martian, acting on behalf of the "Watcher".
Watcher is a god-like energy being that permeates the galaxy. He had recently forced the first human manned spaceship (of Lord) to Mars to return half way through its journey - humans are still too barbaric to join the commune of extraterrestrial races.
Not only will Ron be saved, but Lords will be disarmed & slaves freed by these aliens - so humans can try rebuilding a saner society.
Story is set over a couple of days sometime in 2530 AD.
- At some level, there is a similarity with David Brin's "The Crystal Spheres". In both stories, there is a barrier to alien meddling in native affairs. Brin's barrier protects the dominant species of a solar system from alien invasion; Kuttner's prevents dominant species of a single world from invading other worlds till they become civilized enough.

Student Sticker Labels
As soon as I get my class list, I take file folder labels and make an entire sheet with each child's name. On the first day of school, I give each child a sheet with his/her name on it, along with unlabeled supplies from home; they pull and stick labels on everything that needs one. When this process is finished, I put all the extra labels in a folder where the kids can get to them. When something needs a name, there it is. These labels work wonderfully.

text: DigitalNational Journal Gets HackedBy Betsy Rothstein|March 6, 2013ShareBy Betsy Rothstein|March 6, 2013ShareAtlantic Media employees received word earlier today that "unauthorized individuals" have obtained access to NationalJournal.com. They first discovered this was happening on Feb. 28."Upon discovery, we immediately engaged an information security and forensics firm to assess any potential risk to our online readers–and to be able to let everyone within the company know what happened," wrote Atlantic Media General Counsel Bruce Gottlieb in a company-wide memo to employees.The Highlights…1. "First, the unauthorized access appears to have begun on or around February 18th and we were able to revoke the access shortly after the the initial discovery."2. "There is no evidence that this activity affected other Atlantic Media properties or any of our centralized IT resources."3. "Second, the potential risks appear to apply to roughly 40,000 individuals who used Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser to visit National Journal.com between February 18 and March 1 and who were referred to our site through major search engines. (In other words, it does not apply to individuals who visited our site by clicking on a link or to individuals who typed www.nationaljournal.com into their browsers or who have our site bookmarked. It also does not apply to readers who use browsers other than Internet Explorer, such as Chrome, Firefox, and so forth.)"4. "Third, users who meet the foregoing criteria may have been prompted to download software while browsing the website–and that software may be malevolent."5. "We have no evidence that any email addresses that users have shared with National Journal, or passwords used to log into our website, were compromised. Nor do we believe that anybody using a computer on the Atlantic Media corporate network is at risk."Gottlieb assured that National Journal is in the process of notifying NJ users who may have been affected by the situation.

Amidst all the BlackBerry 9700 news some other changes did happen at Rogers the other day. Rogers has since reduced the pricing on some of their other BlackBerry offerings such as the BlackBerry Bold 9000, the BlackBerry Curve 8900 and the BlackBerry Curve 8520. Often times when a new BlackBerry such as the 9700 comes people may have no interest in that device. If you're one of those people you may see it as the time to get a BlackBerry you do want at a discounted price.
All the mentioned devices are still great and no one out there should have to worry about them being obsolete for a little while yet. This would be a great time to grab a new device on the cheap and still have some of the best devices BlackBerry offers.
The BlackBerry Bold 9000 is now going for $99.99 in black or white and the BlackBerry Curve 8900 is now set at a mere $79.99, while the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is at what it should have been released at, being $49.99. All based on 3/yr long contracts with Rogers, of course.

Brancos' paintings on the street are dominated by huge vibrant portraits, abstracted with bold strokes and marks, some covering entire building facades. These huge portrait works on the street are full of character colour and depth. Each painting is made up of multiple layers that are often over painted in sections to convey the right emotion and finish. High up on the sides of buildings they stare across towns and streets bringing a smile to the viewer with the clever use of colour and intense expression. The Exhibition canvas work incorporates the same strong feeling but Branco allows himself more time for detail that really brings the paintings to life. The Water Melon is often seen in Rodrigos work is a nod to his grandparents who still run a Melon Farm in Sao Paulo Brazil where he also lives.

The interdepartmental Council on Archaeological Studies is composed of faculty from a broad range of disciplines, including Anthropology, Classics, Geology and Geophysics, and Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. Undergraduate and graduate programs are offered, the former awarding a BA and the latter an MA. Both programs are designed to expose students to numerous facets of the field of archaeology, including anthopology, art history, and history; studies often examine the material culture or transformation of various cultures in both the Old and New Worlds. Students in each program are, additionally, required to take an Archaeology Laboratory course which provides hands-on excavation experience at the Dye Works at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

By now, you know the deal when it comes to Dana White's videoblogs, and today's "episode" is no different. Taking a behind-the-scenes look at the aftermath of the UFC's second Fox event, the UFC 143 videoblog contains the familiar mix of upper and downer moments, with an emphasis on the downer. Especially tough to watch is Joey Beltran's realization that his Zuffa career may have reached a temporary standstill in the wake of his first round KO loss to Lavar Johnson. Keep your chin up, "Mexicutioner."
Let's get right to the highlights.
(0:45) - Jon Jones, seen here for the last time before disappearing into a thicket of notes from which he has yet to emerge.
(1:22) – God damn it, will someone give Beltran a hug and tell him that everything is going to be alright?
(1:40) – Eric Wisely, still in awe of the calf-slicer Charles Oliveira was able to pull on him. The pain was apparently so incredible that Wisely has trouble explaining to the backstage physician where exactly the strain was.
(2:48) – Jon Jones explains how Cub Swanson is one of the "nastiest dudes" on Team Jackson. He makes a good point.
(3:30) – "Shit man, he take some knees, huh?" – John Olav Einemo, who seems a little more pissed about the clusterfuck of a plane ride he had to take from Norway in retrospect. He still manages to congratulate Mike Russow on his win, however. Stay classy, J.O.E.
(4:45) – Another look at the gash under Nick Lentz's left eye that "cut" *snicker* his bout with Evan Dunham short.
(5:10) – Does anyone know who the older gentleman responsible for hyping up Michael Bisping is? He could give Flavor Flav a run for his money is all we're saying.
(5:50) – The agony of defeat, paired here with the thrill of victory. And it's honestly hard to tell which one is which.
(6:08) – Example #327 of why you never let it go to the judges. It's like jumping off an air hockey table; it only opens the door for bitter disappointment.
(6:27) – After mirroring the above sentiment, Bisping says that Chael Sonnen "punches like a woman," before congratulating him on the win. Oh, the ironing.
(6:50) – Bisping, now claiming that Sonnen agreed "The Count" may have taken the first two rounds of their middleweight clash. Man, Bisping just doesn't have it in him to give a straight compliment to someone, does he? Though we agree, 30-27 was bullshit.
(8:19) – We'd be more grossed out by Phil Davis' shin wound if we hadn't recently come across this.
(9:07) – Perhaps it's due to my limited knowledge of the Hip hop genre, but it took me like 10 rewinds to figure out that the gentlemen asking DW for an autograph wasn't T.I. It isn't, right?
-J. Jones

The presidential ad war online is beginning to look more like a skirmish.
A new survey of online advertising by President Bush's and Democratic challenger John F. Kerry's campaigns found that both candidates have spent relatively little on relatively benign ads.
The study, conducted by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, found that the Kerry campaign spent three times as much on Web ads as Bush in the first eight months of this year. But the candidates' expenditures together totaled less than $1.8 million, a pittance compared with either of their television advertising budgets.
"This is the dog that didn't bark," said Michael Cornfield, a senior research consultant at Pew and author of the report. "Where are the online ads?"
The findings are surprising, given the burgeoning number of Americans online -- more than 100 million each month -- and the increasing number with access to high-speed Internet connections. To be sure, both candidates' online ad campaigns were far more extensive than anything seen during the 2000 election. But they seemed modest compared with the campaigns' efforts in other areas of online politicking, such as Internet fundraising, e-mail and voter profiling. "The experimentation which we see in so many other areas of the Internet is just not going on here," Cornfield said.
The survey, which will be released today, also suggests that the White House contenders have very different strategies for reaching voters online. The Bush campaign directed many of its ads at women with children and voters in swing states. Nine of its top 20 Web sites are based in battleground states, including those for KPTV, a Fox television affiliate in Portland, Ore.; El Nuevo Herald, the Miami Herald's Spanish edition; and KPHO, a television station in Phoenix. Seven others targeted women: Parents.com, ParentCenter.com and Ladies' Home Journal Online, among them.
Bush's campaign spent the bulk of its advertising dollars on its initial buy in May, for a spot starring first lady Laura Bush. Between then and August, the report said, his campaign spent relatively little.
The Kerry campaign, which has focused much of its advertising on raising money, preferred sites that reached Democrats in metropolitan areas and those of national news organizations. The campaign's top 20 sites included those of the San Francisco Chronicle, the Village Voice, both major Seattle newspapers and the LA Weekly, an alternative newspaper in Los Angeles. Eight others were major news sites, including Newsweek.com, CNN.com and Reuters.com.
Both candidates' efforts were supported by similar campaigns by the national parties. The Republican National Committee spent nearly $500,000 on the ads, while its Democratic counterpart spent a little more than half that. Other groups that have launched numerous television spots, such as the independent "527" organizations, named for the section of the tax code that covers them, have largely ignored online advertising. MoveOn.org Voter Fund was the most aggressive of those groups, spending approximately $100,000. In all, the report said, the candidates and parties accounted for more than 90 percent of the estimated $2.7 million spent on presidential ads online.
The ads were not noticeably more negative than ones found in other media, the report said -- belying concerns that the less regulated, more difficult-to-track world of online advertising would give rise to a parallel universe of especially hard-hitting attacks. "Although parts of the online world are a public 'wild West' where few standards of taste, civility, and accuracy prevail, political advertising on the Internet has adhered to mass media standards of political discourse," the report said.
The survey, billed as the first systematic study of presidential ads online, is based on data collected from more than 2,000 Web sites. It did not include "keyword" ads placed on search engines, ads in the subscription sections of America Online's sites or the often-biting videos candidates and the parties post on their Web sites.
Cornfield said the candidates and parties might ramp up their online ad campaigns. "The closer we get to the Election Day, the harder it is to spend on television because the ad times are locked down," he said. "There could be a rush of online ads towards the end."
